i built a tool called Huntivo. It scans Google Maps for local businesses and runs an AI audit on each one — missing booking systems, dead SSL certs, no Facebook pixel, outdated sites taking PPC traffic. The idea is you get a specific, actionable reason to reach out instead of a generic list.
I have not run a single paid ad. No Product Hunt launch. No Twitter thread. Just posted in a few communities and somehow 64 people signed up.
I have no idea if that is a meaningful signal or noise.
Here is what I genuinely do not know yet:
Who is actually getting value? I see the signups but I cannot always see how people are using it. Are you a freelancer pitching local clients? An agency? A solo operator?
Is the AI audit actually accurate? The tool fetches website HTML and passes it to GPT to identify missing services. I just shipped a fix for JavaScript-rendered tools that were getting flagged as missing when they were not. But I know there are still edge cases.
Is $49 the right number? I picked it because it felt like a no-brainer for anyone who does local business prospecting. Maybe it is too low. Maybe it is too high for someone just starting out.
If you do local lead generation in any capacity, I would genuinely appreciate you trying it. Free tier exists, no card required. If it is useful, great. If it falls flat for your use case, I want to know that more.
