LeadSeer

Answers one question: which businesses near you have no website at all. It is archived, it works, and it runs from source with your own Google Places key.

Archived, working · Node 18+ and Electron · needs your own Google Places API key · run from source

What it does

Search a place and a trade — plumbers in Toledo, salons in Sarasota, and LeadSeer asks the Google Places API for every match, then keeps only the ones whose record has no website on it.

That absence is the whole qualification. A business with no website cannot already have a web designer, which makes it the shortest possible answer to "who would actually take this call". Everything else about lead lists is guessing; this is a field that is either empty or not.

What comes back

Name, phone, address and a Google Maps link for each result, with the ones missing a website surfaced first. Searches are kept in a local history so you can return to a town without paying for the same lookups twice, and the list exports to a file.

The key is yours

LeadSeer has no server and no account. It calls Google Places with your API key, stored in a local config, so the quota and the billing are yours and nothing routes through anyone else. That is also the catch: without a key it cannot search at all.

Archived, and honest about it

It works and it is not being developed. There has never been a packaged installer — it runs from source with Node and Electron. The code stays readable because a tool that answers a real question is worth keeping.

How it works

  1. Clone it and installNode 18 or newer, plus Electron.
  2. Add a Google Places API keyYour own. There is no shared key and no service in the middle.
  3. Search an areaIt comes back with the businesses that have no website — which is the list, because everyone else already has one.

Questions

Is this maintained?
No. It is archived and the page says so rather than letting you find out after installing it.
Do I need to pay Google?
You need a Places API key, and its usage is billed to you by Google under their terms.
Is there a packaged download?
No. Run it from source.
