Free & open-source lead finder
Find local businesses
that have no website.
OpenScout is a tool for web designers, freelancers, and agencies. It searches Google Maps for businesses near any location and shows you the ones that don't have a website, the owners most likely to hire you to build one. Everything runs in your browser, there's no sign-up, it's free, and open-source.
You'll need a free Google Maps API key to run a scan. Here's how to get one →
How it works
Four steps, about 3 minutes to your first list of leads.

Scan the map
OpenScout splits the area into a grid and checks each business on Google Maps for a real website of its own.

Export your leads
You get the businesses with no site — name, address, phone, rating — ready to download as a CSV for outreach.
What you should know
They're the warmest possible web-design prospects — they have a real business but no online home yet. OpenScout finds them in bulk.
A Facebook page, Yelp listing, or link-in-bio doesn't count as a real site — those owners still need one, so they're shown as leads.
Yes. It lives only in your browser. There's no server, no account, and no database — OpenScout is just static files you can read.
OpenScout is free. Google bills you for Maps usage on your own key; the scan-depth control lets you keep that small.
