1. Start Collecting Leads
Master database: Keep the actual lead database in Google Sheets.
For every business, collect:
- Business
- City
- Website
- Rating
- Reviews
- Phone
- Email
- Website problem
- Contact method
- Status
2. Qualify the Leads
Ideal lead:
Good business + lots of reviews + active + weak/outdated website.
☐Good business
Looks legitimate, established, and actively operating.
☐Lots of reviews
Prefer businesses with meaningful review volume rather than brand-new businesses.
☐Active
Look for recent reviews, recent photos, current services, or other signs that the business is operating.
☐Weak / outdated website
Look for a clear opportunity to improve the website and convert visitors into inquiries.
