An r/Entrepreneurs post asked the best way to find clients without websites. The modern pipeline: Google Maps search → filter businesses with no website → auto-build demo sites → cold outreach. This tutorial walks each step.

Prerequisites

  • Scavio API key
  • Static site hosting (GitHub Pages, Vercel)
  • Email sending capability

Walkthrough

Step 1: Search Google Maps for target businesses

Use Scavio's Google endpoint to find local businesses.

Python
import requests, os
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}

def find_businesses(niche, location):
    return requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search',
        headers=H,
        json={'platform': 'google', 'query': f'{niche} in {location}', 'type': 'maps'}).json()

Step 2: Filter for no-website businesses

Check the website field in results — null or empty means no website.

Python
def filter_no_website(results):
    return [r for r in results.get('local_results', [])
            if not r.get('website')]

Step 3: Auto-generate demo sites

Build a simple template site for each lead using their business info.

Python
def generate_demo(business):
    name = business['title']
    phone = business.get('phone', '')
    address = business.get('address', '')
    # Generate static HTML from template
    # Deploy to GitHub Pages or Vercel
    return f'https://demos.yoursite.com/{name.lower().replace(" ", "-")}'

Step 4: Cold outreach with demo link

Email or call with a link to the demo site you built for them.

Text
# Subject: I built a website for {business_name} (free preview)
# Body: Show the demo link, explain value, offer to customize
# The demo site IS the pitch — no PDF, no deck

Python Example

Python
import requests, os
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}

def prospect_pipeline(niche, location):
    results = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', headers=H,
        json={'platform': 'google', 'query': f'{niche} in {location}', 'type': 'maps'}).json()
    no_website = [r for r in results.get('local_results', []) if not r.get('website')]
    for biz in no_website:
        demo_url = generate_demo(biz)
        send_outreach(biz, demo_url)
    return len(no_website)

JavaScript Example

JavaScript
const resp = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', {
  method: 'POST', headers: {'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
  body: JSON.stringify({platform: 'google', query: `${niche} in ${location}`, type: 'maps'})
});

Expected Output

JSON
Pipeline that finds businesses without websites, auto-generates demo sites, and sends personalized cold outreach with a working demo link.
