The signals that matter to an agency
- A rating that is weak for its market: every business is compared with the others of its kind in the same city, so a 4.2 in a market of 4.8s stands out.
- Too few reviews to be found, next to competitors with many.
- No website of its own, or a site with no analytics and no advertising pixel: nothing is being measured, so nothing can be improved.
- No HTTPS or no mobile layout on the site.
A business only needs one real problem to make the list. Each comes with a score and a reason you can repeat to the owner.
Working several clients and markets
Pro is made for small agencies hunting across many clients: 1,000 credits a month. Save businesses into one list per campaign, share a hunt with a client as a read-only link (it lasts 90 days and you can turn it off), and narrow any list by chat for free: “independents only”, “rating under 4”, “no website only”.
Run the same search again next month and you pay only for businesses you have not found before.
Is Pinweaver right for you?
Read this before you sign up. We would rather you not pay for something that will not help.
A good fit if
- Your agency sells websites, local SEO, reviews, ads or social media to local businesses.
- You prospect city by city and trade by trade, and want to know which businesses to call first.
- You want a reason for each business that you can bring up in a first conversation.
Not the right tool if
- Your clients are national brands or large companies: Pinweaver ranks local businesses on Google Maps.
- You want to buy a ready-made contact file to load into an email sequence: Pinweaver does not sell data, never sends email, and forbids spam in its terms.
- You need search volumes, keyword rankings or backlink audits: Pinweaver does not measure those.
Limits to know
- The signals come from public Google ratings and reviews and from each business's own website. They say where to look, not how much a business would spend.
- The CSV export carries each business's Google Maps link, its score, and what its own website shows (an email it publishes, a person it names, what it lacks). Business names, phone numbers and addresses come from Google and stay in the app, as Google's terms require.
Sentences to try
Any city, any trade. Type it the way you would say it:
- “gyms in Austin with weak reviews”
- “independent restaurants in Chicago with no website”
- “dental clinics in Dublin with few reviews”
Questions
- How is “weak for its market” worked out?
- Each hunt reads the businesses of one kind in one city and compares every rating with the typical rating there. A business rated 4.3 stars or more is never listed for weak reviews, however strong its market is.
- Can my clients see the results?
- Yes. Share a hunt as a read-only link with the table and the map. It lasts 90 days, and you can turn it off at any time.
- Is there a per-seat price?
- No. You pay for businesses delivered, not seats: one credit per business, and a business you already found is free.
