Google Maps prospecting tools, compared.

A practical guide to seven tools: what they cost, what they count, and how they fit the way you prospect.

The search is only the beginning. For most prospecting work, the harder part is deciding which businesses fit your offer—and keeping the research easy to revisit.

Why start with Leadshot?

Build a shortlist that works

Consider a web designer looking for independent restaurants with outdated websites. The useful output is not simply every restaurant in a city. It is a smaller list with an observation attached to each business: a menu that is hard to read, a missing booking link, or a website that needs attention.

01

Discover

Search a business category and geographic area.

02

Curate

Review the public details and keep the relevant businesses.

03

Organize

Record your observations and update contact statuses.

04

Export

Take the shortlist into your existing workflow.

In Leadshot, return to your restaurant search through history, review the public profiles and websites, and select the prospects that fit your offer. Export your selection when you’re ready.

Before paying for any tool, write down the fields you need, the number of searches you expect, and where the shortlist will live. Those three answers will tell you more than a headline cost per thousand.
