What You'll Need Before We Start
- A clear idea of who your target customer is (e.g., "restaurants," "law firms," "dental offices")
- The city or region you want to target (can be multiple cities)
- A short description of what you offer and why businesses should choose you
Step-by-Step Setup
Set Your Target Industry and City
Log into your bizbot admin dashboard and navigate to the Lead Finder section. Tell the tool exactly what kind of businesses you're looking for.
- → Enter your target industry (e.g., "plumbing companies," "real estate agents," "auto repair shops")
- → Enter your target city and state (e.g., "Dallas, TX" or "Denver, CO")
- → Set a radius if you want to expand beyond the city center (e.g., 25 miles)
- → Optionally filter by business size or number of Google reviews
Run Your First Search
Click "Find Leads" and let bizbot do the work. Within a minute or two, you'll see a list of matching businesses with their info pulled in automatically.
- → Each result shows the business name, address, phone number, website, and Google rating
- → You'll also see how many Google reviews they have
- → A quality score is calculated for each lead (see the scoring guide below)
- → Results can be sorted by score, rating, or review count
Understand the Lead Scoring
Every lead gets a color-coded score so you know at a glance which ones to reach out to first. The score is based on factors like review count, star rating, and whether they have a website.
Strong online presence, good reviews. High chance they invest in their business and may want your services.
Decent but not outstanding. Worth reaching out to — often these businesses are looking to grow.
Low review count or poor ratings. Harder to sell to, but some may be a good fit depending on your offer.
Save Your Best Leads
Check the box next to any leads you want to contact, then click "Save to My Leads." This adds them to your personal lead list where you can track your outreach.
- → Start by saving 10–20 of your best (Green) leads
- → You can add notes to each lead (e.g., "Called, no answer," or "Interested — follow up Friday")
- → Saved leads stay in your list until you mark them as closed or remove them

Hi [Owner's Name],
I came across [Business Name] and was impressed by what you've built. I work with businesses like yours in [City] to [Your Value Prop — e.g., "automate their customer follow-up and get more Google reviews"].

Best,
