Which businesses near you have no website at all?
| Status | Archived, working |

| Runtime | Node 18+, Electron |
| Needs | A Google Places API key |
| Install | Run from source |
| Source | zengineco/LeadSeer |
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.
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.
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.
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.
