The Problem

Raw lists don't close deals. Qualified leads do.

Most scrapers give you a spreadsheet with names and phones. You still have to manually visit every website, run speed tests, and check SSL — before you can write a single cold email.

Qualification Framework

5 signals that make a local lead worth pitching

Not all defects are equal. Each signal maps to a specific service gap — and the bigger the gap, the easier your pitch writes itself.

01

CRITICAL

No Website Detected

The business has a Google Maps listing but no functioning website. This is the highest-intent signal — they're spending money on visibility but have no conversion destination.

PITCH →"You're showing up on Maps, but when people search your name, there's nothing to click."

+40

pts / lead

02

HIGH

Page Load Speed Over 3s

Their site exists but loads too slowly for modern users. Google's data shows 53% of mobile visitors abandon pages that take over 3 seconds to load.

PITCH →"Your site took 6.2 seconds to load on mobile. You're losing half your visitors before the page opens."

+25

pts / lead

03

HIGH

No SSL Certificate

Their site shows "Not Secure" in browsers. This kills trust, suppresses rankings, and is trivially fixable — making it a perfect low-friction upsell.

PITCH →"Chrome is showing your visitors a 'Not Secure' warning. That's costing you customers right now."

+20

pts / lead

04

MEDIUM

Not Mobile Optimized

Over 60% of local searches happen on mobile. If their site breaks on phones, they're invisible to their most likely customers.

PITCH →"On an iPhone, your menu overlaps your phone number. Anyone trying to call from mobile probably gives up."

+15

pts / lead

05

MEDIUM

Weak On-Page SEO

Missing title tags, no meta descriptions, no local schema. The business is invisible to search engines even when their site exists.

PITCH →"Your homepage has no title tag, so Google doesn't know what you do or where you are."

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about lead qualification for local business agencies.

Q1What is a lead qualification tool?

A lead qualification tool automatically evaluates whether a prospect matches your ideal client criteria before you invest time in outreach. For web design and SEO agencies targeting local businesses, this means checking signals like missing websites, slow page speeds, expired SSL certificates, or poor mobile performance — without manual research.

Q2How is MapsLeadExtractor different from a regular Google Maps scraper?

Standard scrapers extract contact data — name, phone, address. MapsLeadExtractor goes further by automatically auditing each business for 5 web defects, assigning a qualification score, and generating a pitch angle so you know exactly how to open the conversation. You don't just get a list; you get a shortlist of pre-qualified prospects with a ready-made opening line.

Q3What signals does MapsLeadExtractor use to qualify leads?

MapsLeadExtractor checks 5 key signals: (1) No website detected, (2) Page load speed over 3 seconds, (3) Missing or expired SSL certificate, (4) No mobile optimization, (5) Weak on-page SEO. Each signal maps directly to a service your agency can sell.

Q4Can I qualify leads in multiple countries?

Yes. MapsLeadExtractor supports lead qualification across the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and Spain, with more regions being added. You can filter by country, state, city, or zip code and run qualification across multiple geographies simultaneously.

Q5How many leads can I qualify per month?

Lead limits depend on your plan. Each plan includes a set number of credits — one credit equals one qualified lead. You can see the exact limits and pricing on the billing page. Every lead is automatically scored against all 5 qualification signals regardless of which plan you choose.
