Run a Google Maps search in 2 minutes.

Your first search should take 2-5 minutes and produce 10+ verified leads with AI-written cold emails.

Step by step
  1. Click New Search in the sidebar
  2. Pick Google Maps as the source (easiest for a first run)
  3. Enter a keyword your ideal customers search for — dentist, plumber, marketing agency
  4. Pick a country from the searchable dropdown (we have 250+)
  5. Pick a city (optional — leave blank to search the whole country)
  6. Click Start scraping
What happens next

The job runs in the background (you can close the tab). Under the hood:

  1. We scrape Google Maps for the top 20+ matching businesses
  2. For each business we fetch the website, find the decision-maker email, and verify it
  3. If no verified email is found, we crawl the website for a general contact address
  4. We run Perplexity live research on the company
  5. The AI writer creates a personalised icebreaker and cold email for every lead
  6. Each lead gets saved to your workspace at /leads

You see live logs on the job detail page while it runs.

Check the result

Once the job finishes, open /leads → click any row → you'll see the full lead detail with:

  • Business info, website, phone, decision maker name and role
  • 2–4 specific facts the AI extracted about the company
  • AI insight explaining how they operate
  • Personalised icebreaker (1–2 sentences)
  • Ready-to-send cold email (subject + body)

Copy the email, paste it into your outreach tool, and hit send. Or connect a mailbox and send directly from FlowMaticX.
