Built a lead-gen tool because I make 100 cold calls/day and Apollo doesn't have local biz. Selling access.

Got tired of Apollo + ZoomInfo not having most of the local businesses I needed to call. So I built my own tool and called ZipLead (ziplead.ai).

How it works:

Type a zip code. <60 seconds later you got every plumber, dentist, salon, contractor, restaurant, etc in that area. Pulls from Google + Foursquare combined.

For each one you get the basics on the free tier: name, address, phone, website (or "no website" flag), Google rating, review count, category. Plus a 0-100 outreach score and a tier badge so you don't gotta guess who's worth calling first (PRIME, SOLID, WATCH, SKIP). There's a size badge too based on review volume (Solo, Small, Mid, Large, Enterprise).

Couple things I baked in - chains like Starbucks/Subway auto-drop to the bottom because they waste your morning, and if a zip's crammed with 50 plumbers everyone gets a small penalty cause the market's harder to land.

Paid plans add enrichment per prospect: SMTP verified emails (actually sent a test, not just guessed), whether they're running Google/Meta ads right now, site health (SSL, mobile speed, domain age, tech stack), domain authority + backlinks, review velocity (trending up or flat).

Also got a pipeline CRM (drag prospects Cold > Pitched > Won), a Dispatch feature where you save a search and it emails fresh leads weekly, alerts when a prospect's score changes, CSV + HubSpot/Close export, API on the top tier.

Pricing:

- Free: 3 searches/month, no card

- $59/mo: 50 searches + 100 enrichment credits + pipeline CRM

- $179/mo: 200 searches + 500 enrichments + API + white-label

Solo founder, built it for myself first and experienced the value in it. Free tier doesn't need a credit card if you want to test out first.

Made a lead generation tool for finding local SMBs in any zip code. Free tier + $59/mo paid.

Hey, first post here.

I built my own lead generation tool and found a lot of success with it, so I decided to package and launch it for everyone to use! I call ZipLead (ziplead.ai). You can filter down by zip code and much more.

How it works:

Type a zip code. ~60 seconds later you have every plumber, dentist, salon, contractor, restaurant, etc in that area. Pulls from Google + Foursquare combined.

For each lead, you get the basics on the free tier - name, address, phone, website (or a "no website" flag), Google rating, review count, category. Plus a 0-100 outreach score and a tier badge so you don't need to guess who's worth calling first (PRIME, SOLID, WATCH, SKIP). There's a size badge too based on review volume (Solo, Small, Mid, Large, Enterprise).

Couple things I baked in - big chains like Starbucks/Subway auto-drop to the bottom, and if a zip's crammed with 50 plumbers everyone gets a small score penalty because the market will be harder to land.

Paid plans add enrichment per prospect: SMTP verified emails (actually sent a test, not just guessed), whether they're running Google/Meta ads right now, site health (SSL, mobile speed, domain age, tech stack), domain authority + backlinks, review velocity (trending up or flat).
