Name the business type.
Choose a category that matches the customers you can help. If the results are too broad, refine the category rather than collecting more unrelated records.
SEARCH MODES
Give every search
a useful boundary.
The category and area you choose shape the businesses you find. Start with a small, relevant search before widening your research.
Get the mobile appPick a workable area.
Use a city or local area you understand. Consider travel, service coverage and whether you can support customers there.
Review before expanding.
Start with a manageable radius. Check the result quality, then adjust the area. Overlapping searches may include the same businesses.
A RESEARCH EXAMPLE
A local web designer’s first shortlist.
Suppose you build websites for independent cafés. Search that category in an area you serve, then visit each business website. Record a specific observation, such as a difficult-to-find menu, before deciding whether to follow up.
This is a planning example, not a customer result or a promise of sales.
