Tell us about your business
Enter your business name (required) and pick your industry from 25+ categories. This determines what kind of AI insights you'll receive.
Pick your service area
Add the zip code(s) where you operate. Free plan gets 1 zip; paid plans get up to 40. We only show leads in your zips — no noise from areas you don't serve.
Then choose the lead signal type you want to monitor — home sales, building permits, or new business filings. We'll recommend the best one for your industry.
Your leads start flowing
After onboarding, we backfill the last 30 days of matching public records into your feed. New leads appear automatically as they're filed with the county.
Each lead card shows:
- Address & property details — price, year built, sqft
- Why This Lead Matters — AI-generated relevance for your specific industry
- Action Plan — step-by-step numbered plan with timing and channels
