Industry Lead Lists
for Web Agencies
Published small-business web research puts around 29% of businesses in these 15 categories without a dedicated website. Most trades sit near 27%; a few run higher. Each industry page cites the figure it uses.
Each industry page pairs that research with our own Google Maps scans - listings checked for a missing site, an expired SSL certificate, a slow page, or a mobile problem. Pick an industry, a defect type and a country, and start with businesses that already have a reason to say yes.

Where These Numbers Come From
The per-industry rates on this page are from published small-business web research - Clutch's Small Business Websites Report, IBISWorld industry reports, the National Association of REALTORS member profile, and the National Restaurant Association's technology reports. Each industry page cites the source it uses.
MapsLeadExtractor's own data is separate. We scan public Google Maps listings for a category and city, then check each business's site for four things: whether it exists, whether the SSL certificate is valid, how fast the page loads, and whether it works on mobile. A listing that fails a check is tagged with that defect.
The aggregate results of those scans - no-website and defect rates by metro and industry, with sample sizes - are published in the digital gap report.

- 01
Pick a defect type
Start with "no website" if you build sites. Start with "missing SSL" or "slow sites" if you sell performance fixes. Critical defects convert faster - the business owner already feels the pain.
- 02
Pick your niche
High defect rate = more volume. High average project value = plumbers, dentists, lawyers. Pick based on what your agency can actually deliver.
- 03
Filter by geography
Download the list for your target city. Each row has name, phone, address, and the specific defect detected - you already know their problem before the first call.
- 04
Pitch with proof
Show them a screenshot of their Google Maps listing next to a competitor who has a website. That's the entire pitch.
