Question 1

Is this tool really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 15 searches per hour, no signup, no credit card. We rate-limit to keep the Google bill bounded; a free account raises the limit to 60 searches an hour.

Question 2

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Google Places, the same data behind Google Maps. Each search reads the first page of results for your trade in your city, up to 20 businesses, filters out chains and franchises, and lists up to 10 that have no website on their listing.

Question 3

How many businesses without a website will I find?

Accepted Answer

Usually a few, sometimes none. One page of Google Maps is at most 20 businesses, and in crowded trades most of them already have a site. In our search history, trades such as mechanics, barbers, bakeries, plumbers and electricians turn up more gaps than restaurants, gyms or law firms. If a search comes back empty, try another trade or a smaller nearby town.

Question 4

Does "no website" mean the business has no site at all?

Accepted Answer

It means their Google listing has no website on it. Some of these businesses have a Facebook page or a site Google does not know about, so look them up before you pitch. The ones that truly have nothing are the easiest conversation: you are offering something they visibly lack.

Question 5

Why are no-website businesses good prospects for web designers?

Accepted Answer

They are already on Google Maps with reviews and a phone number, so customers are looking for them, but anyone who wants more than a phone number has nowhere to go. The gap is visible to the owner the moment you point it out, which makes it an easier first email than critiquing a site they paid for.

Question 6

Can I export the list?

Accepted Answer

Copy any result with one click, or download the first 3 as a CSV without signing up. The full CSV comes with a free account, which also scans the whole city and looks up owner emails.
