Challenge

The agency's previous lead-sourcing process was fully manual: analysts opened Google Maps for each city and niche combination, copy-pasted business details into spreadsheets, skimmed reviews for quality signals, and manually deduplicated before handoff. It capped campaign throughput and produced inconsistent results. Each lead research session required manual Google Maps searching per city and niche, copy-pasting business name, phone, website and address into a sheet, reading reviews to gauge quality — a slow and inconsistent process — deduplicating and cleaning the list before handoff, and outreach that too often targeted low-fit leads due to the lack of structured scoring.

Solution

Esterox built an automated pipeline that turns a niche and location query into a scored, deduplicated lead list in minutes. Targeted GMB Scraping accepts a business type and geographic area as input, then automatically collects Google Business Profile listings at scale — extracting name, category, website, phone, address, hours, rating and review count. Structured Review Extraction pulls full review text for each business and uses AI to classify sentiment and identify recurring pain points, which are then used to infer service quality and outreach angle. The AI Lead Scoring module scores each lead on rating, review volume, sentiment and website quality, automatically filters out spammy or inactive listings, and surfaces the highest-fit prospects first. CRM and Spreadsheet Delivery pushes results with one click into the agency's CRM or a Google Sheet, deduplicates against previously exported leads, and maps fields ready for outreach templates.
