What it finds for a web designer
- Businesses with no website of their own: none on their Google profile, or only a Facebook or Instagram page, a link-in-bio, a free site-builder page or a delivery-platform page.
- Businesses whose site lacks the basics: no HTTPS (browsers mark it “not secure”), no mobile layout, no online booking for a business that takes bookings, a copyright year that is years old.
- The person a site names, when it names one (an owner, a founder, a doctor), so you know who you would be writing to.
Each business gets a score from 0 to 100 and a short reason, and the list is ranked: the clearest cases first.
How a week of prospecting looks
Ask for “restaurants in Leeds with no website”. Check the plan and its price, then start. Open the first leads, read why each one is there, and save the ones you want into a list, marking each New, Contacted, Replied, Won or Lost as you go. Next week, run the same hunt in another city or trade: any business you already found costs nothing again.
Every hunt reads each business's own website for the email it publishes, free, and it shows in the table as the hunt finishes. Pinweaver can draft a short first message from its real rating and reviews; you edit it and decide whether to send it, from your own inbox.
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
- You build or redesign websites for small local businesses: restaurants, salons, trades, clinics, gyms.
- You want a short list of businesses with a clear reason to need you, not a long sheet of every business in town.
- You contact businesses one by one, with a message written for each.
Not the right tool if
- You sell to large companies or need the names of decision makers in an organisation: Pinweaver finds local businesses, not executives.
- You want to send the same email to hundreds of businesses: Pinweaver never sends anything, and its terms forbid spam.
- You need a complete contact file for a CRM: see the export limit below.
Limits to know
- In most big cities only a small share of businesses has no website at all, so those lists are short. Pinweaver says so instead of padding them, and you only pay for what is delivered.
- A business with no website usually publishes no email either: you reach it by phone or in person.
- 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:
- “plumbers in Denver with no website”
- “dentists in Manchester whose site has no online booking”
- “independent cafés in Lisbon without a website”
Questions
- Is a Facebook page counted as a website?
- No. A social profile, a link-in-bio, a free site-builder page or a delivery-platform page is not the business's own website, so Pinweaver counts it as having none.
- Which plan fits a freelancer?
- Start with the free trial: 100 credits for 30 days, no card. Starter is $19 a month for 300 credits, made for freelancers running a steady pipeline. One credit is one business delivered.
- Does Pinweaver contact the businesses for me?
- Never. It can draft a first email; you read it, change it and send it yourself, within the anti-spam and privacy laws where you and the business are.
