Project overview
The problem

The problem worth solving.

A web agency wanted to sell redesigns to local businesses, but finding the right prospects was manual: search a suburb, open site after site, judge each one by eye.

Cold email in Australia is restricted. You can only email an address that is published on the business's own website, which is inferred consent. A scraped list from anywhere else is a compliance risk.

Our solution & strategy
What we built

How it works.

We built a scraper on the Google Maps API. The agency enters a location (postcode or suburb) and an industry (for example audiologists), and the tool pulls every matching business.

Each website is then audited for signs it needs work: dated design, not mobile friendly, and other issues. Only the business email addresses publicly listed on the site are kept, so the list stays within inferred consent.

The output is a targeted list that records what is wrong with each website, so the first email can open with a specific, true observation instead of a generic pitch.

1. Choose a market. Pick a postcode or suburb and an industry.

2. Find the businesses. The Google Maps API returns every matching local business and its website.

3. Audit each site. Sites are checked for dated design and mobile-friendliness problems.

4. Collect published emails. Only addresses listed on the business's own website are captured.

5. Export the list. A targeted list with the specific issues found per site, ready for outreach.
