Overview

Google Maps is a goldmine for finding local businesses. Every business listed has contact information, reviews, and a website (or lack thereof). This is your prospect database.

Why This Matters

You need a list of businesses to contact. Google Maps gives you everything: business name, phone number, website, location, and reviews. Look for businesses with poor online presence - they need your help most.

Step-by-Step Checklist

Search '[niche] near [city]' on Google Maps

Build spreadsheet with: Business name, phone, website, address, rating

**The 3-Strike Rule:** Target businesses with 3-4 star ratings (they know they have a problem but aren't ruined)

**Follow the Money:** Prioritize businesses running Google Ads (they have budget but are wasting it on missed calls)

**The 'No-Chat' Filter:** Check their website for a chat widget. If they don't have one, they are leaking leads.

Aim for 50-100 prospects in your initial list

Look for 'Speed to Lead' failures: Call them. If they don't answer, they are a perfect prospect.

Action Items

Common Mistakes to Avoid

•Not building a list (random outreach doesn't work)
•Only targeting 5-star businesses (they may not need help)

Prospect Research Tips

Target 3-4 star businesses

They have room for improvement. 5-star businesses may not see the need. 2-star businesses may be struggling for other reasons.

Look for businesses without websites

If they don't have a website, they definitely don't have a chatbot. Easy opportunity.

Check if they're advertising

Businesses running Google Ads have budget and are actively trying to grow. They're more likely to invest in your service.

Build a list of 50-100 prospects

You'll need volume. Not everyone will respond. Aim for 50-100 prospects to close 3-5 clients.
