Hello fellow searchers, as you know most local business scrapers pull the basic stuff, and you already know that's not enough when you're trying to approach the business owner.
So to solve this problem, I'm building an AI agent for local business scraping (specifically designed for searchers), and I want to know:
What specific data points do you need before approaching an owner that would make your outreach actually work?
Like, what makes you think, "Okay, now I feel confident that I have a real business to start with"?
Drop what matters most to you and why it moves the needle.
