foldtalk.com[01] What makes local prospecting different
Built for the real economy. Not just SaaS and enterprise.
Filter by reviews, rating, and recency
A business with 200+ 5-star reviews is clearly successful and investing in growth. Use review velocity as a qualification filter.
State license registries
For licensed trades (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, contractors), we pull from state license databases to verify and enrich owner information.
Multi-location vs. single-unit detection
Differentiate between a small independent owner and a franchise. Single-location businesses often have a single decision-maker who also answers the phone.
Category-level filtering
Search by Google's category taxonomy, HVAC, Dentist, Auto Repair, Restaurant, without needing to guess what keyword they use.
Revenue and employee estimation
Estimated revenue range and employee count inferred from review volume, Google profile completeness, and business age.
