Lead Finder: automated lead search

The Find Leads tab searches Google Maps for businesses matching a keyword and city, then checks each one's website for a contact email.

• Enter a Keyword (e.g. "skincare boutique") and a City (e.g. "Jaipur"), and set Max results anywhere from 5 to 25.
• This is a real headless-browser scrape, so it can take a couple of minutes rather than returning instantly.
• A progress overlay shows two phases: fetching listings from Google Maps, then looking up emails on each business's website.
• You can cancel a search in progress at any time with the Cancel search button on the overlay.
• Leaving the tab mid-search loses whatever hasn't been imported yet, so BrandOps warns you before you navigate away or refresh while a search is running.

Turn on "New businesses only" to narrow results to a specific review-count band, since Google Maps has no field for how long a business has existed.

• Set a Min reviews and Max reviews value (for example 0 to 5). Only listings inside that band are kept.
• Because review count is a proxy for "new," not an exact signal, running separate searches across bands (0-10, then 10-20, 20-30…) covers more ground than one wide range and avoids re-pulling the same leads.
• After a search finishes, a status line shows how many businesses were found in total and how many survived the review-count filter.
• If nothing survives the filter, BrandOps tells you how many were found before filtering so you know to widen the range rather than assume the search failed.

Only results with a real email or Instagram handle can be selected; the rest are shown but greyed out.

• Click "Select all with contact info" to select every result that has an email or an Instagram handle in one click, or check rows individually.
• Each row shows whatever was found: email, Instagram handle (a direct link to message them), phone, website, address, and Google rating with review count.
• Click "Add N to leads" to import the selected rows. They're sent to the same bulk-import endpoint used by the file-upload import.
• Importing de-dupes automatically: by email when present, otherwise by Instagram handle. A confirmation shows how many were added and how many were already on file and skipped.

Not every search result needs to become a lead in BrandOps. The Download button lets you take the raw list elsewhere.

• Download exports the full result set, including rows with no contact info, as CSV, Excel (.xlsx), or PDF.
• The export includes name, phone, website, email, Instagram handle, address, rating, and review count for every result on screen.
• This is independent of your selection, so you don't need to select anything to download.
• Results are sourced by searching Google Maps listings and each business's own website; use them responsibly and in line with applicable laws.

A saved search runs the same Lead Finder logic automatically on a schedule, so you don't have to come back and click Search yourself.

• Set a Name, Keyword, City, Max results per run (5-25), and how often it runs: Daily, Every 3 days, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, or Monthly.
• The same "New businesses only" review-count band filter is available for saved searches as for a manual one.
• Toggle a saved search's Armed switch to pause or resume it; turning it on shows "next run within 2 hours" so you know it's live.
• Each saved search shows its last run time and result ("found N new leads") or its last error if a run failed.
• Optionally auto-enroll new leads with an email into a sequence. Nothing sends automatically; new leads land as "Queued" in Your Leads for you to review first.
• A saved search draws from the same monthly Lead Finder search limit as running one manually from the Find Leads tab.

Already have a list of leads? Import from Excel or CSV skips the search entirely and works from your own file.

• Drop or browse for a .csv, .xlsx, or .xls file, up to 500 rows. A template CSV is available to download if you want the expected column layout.
• BrandOps auto-guesses each column's target field from its header text (e.g. a column named "E-mail" maps to Email automatically); you can override any mapping.
• You need a Name column mapped, plus at least one of Email or Instagram handle, before you can continue to preview.
• The preview table flags rows with a missing name, no email or handle, an invalid email, or an email that already matches an existing lead. Duplicate and invalid rows are unchecked by default, but you can tick a duplicate row to import it anyway.
• After importing, you get a count of how many leads were added versus how many were skipped as duplicates.
