Outreach
LeadScout Writes Your First Message
Instead of staring at a blank screen, LeadScout uses the AI Scan and business data to create personalized outreach based on that specific business. No generic templates. No guessing.
Email Outreach
Writes the subject line and email, searches the website for an email address, and opens Gmail ready to send. Review it, hit Send.
Contact Form
If no email address exists, LeadScout finds the website contact form, fills in your information and prepares the submission.
If a Facebook page exists, LeadScout creates a personalized DM ready to copy and paste.
Same process. Find. Copy. Send.
LeadScout searches for LinkedIn profiles and prepares outreach there as well.
Phone & SMS
Get the phone number, a voicemail script, and SMS-ready messaging — whatever channel fits your workflow.
Radar
Prepare Before Every Sales Call
Open Radar for a much deeper view into the business. You'll see:
- Review comparison
- AI Visibility
- Local competitor comparison
- Missing opportunities
- Trust signal gaps
- Reputation issues
Instead of saying
"I help businesses get reviews…"
You'll say
"I noticed you're about 40 reviews behind your local competitors, your visibility score is below average, and there are several trust signals missing from your online presence."
That's a completely different conversation.
