Why local sellers switch
📍 Local businesses are thin in people databases
A family-owned roofing company or a two-dentist clinic often isn't in a B2B people database, but it is on Google Maps, with a website and a public email.
🚩 A real reason to write
If you sell websites, SEO or ads, a site that is down, not mobile-friendly or stuck in 2019 is the opening line. RPD Prospect flags it on every lead.
💬 Replies handled for you
Maya answers questions about price, timing and how it works in the same email thread, any hour, and alerts you when a person should step in.
