Everything you need before your first scan

Some markets are denser than others. Big cities tend to have businesses with cleaner websites. Try a smaller nearby city or a different trade — plumbers, roofers, and electricians in mid-size cities consistently produce the most leads.

Every result goes through automated checks before it reaches you. Businesses with working websites are filtered out.

Higher scores mean a bigger, easier-to-pitch opportunity. Missing or broken websites score highest; working sites with smaller issues — like outdated design or missing mobile optimization — score lower.

Use the phone number or email on each card. Mention you found them online and noticed their website could be costing them customers. Keep it short, specific, and genuine — the best pitch focuses on what they're losing, not what you're selling.

Never. Credits you buy today are valid forever. No monthly fees, no deadlines, no pressure to use them.

The credit for that scan is returned automatically — the same happens when a scan finds only 1–4 qualifying leads (you keep those results). Try a smaller city or a different trade — most freelancers find their best markets within the first 5–10 scans.

Yes — each scan uses 1 credit. Business listings and website quality change over time, so the same search may surface different opportunities on different days.

Some businesses don't list a phone or email publicly. The business name and address are enough to find them with a quick search — most local businesses are easy to track down.

Start with a trade — plumbers, roofers, electricians — in a mid-size city you know or want to serve. Run a few scans across different markets to see where the opportunities concentrate.

SiteHunter is a lead finder for freelance web developers and small agencies. Type a city and a trade — like "plumbers austin tx" — and in 90 seconds or less you get a ranked list of local businesses with broken or missing websites, complete with verified contact info and the specific website issues we found.

A broken website finder identifies local businesses with broken, missing, or outdated websites automatically. SiteHunter scans any US city and trade and returns ranked leads with verified contact info in 90 seconds or less — turning hours of manual research into a single quick scan.

We search local business listings, check each business for a web presence, and verify whether a website exists and works. Businesses with no website, broken sites, or sites that aren't connected to their listing get surfaced and ranked by opportunity.

Every result goes through automated checks before it reaches you. Businesses with working websites are filtered out. Edge cases exist; we keep improving accuracy with every scan.

The opportunity score ranks how big the project is likely to be. Higher scores mean a bigger, easier-to-pitch opportunity: missing or broken websites score highest, while working sites with smaller issues like outdated design or missing mobile optimization score lower.

The highest scores go to businesses with a missing or broken website — no site at all, or a site that errors out or can't be reached — because that's the biggest, easiest project to pitch. Working sites with smaller issues, like an expired SSL certificate, an outdated copyright year, a dated site builder, or no mobile layout, score lower: a real project, but a smaller one.

Start with a trade in a mid-size city — "plumbers waco tx" or "roofers round rock tx" are strong starting points. Trades consistently carry the most broken and missing websites. Mid-size cities produce more leads than big metros where businesses already have decent sites.

Trades produce the most leads — plumbers, roofers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers, pest control, painters, fence and tree services. Professional services like lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, and accountants work well in smaller markets. Any local service business is fair game.

Mid-size cities consistently outperform big metros. Waco TX, Eugene OR, Savannah GA, Santa Fe NM, Boise ID, and Spokane WA all produce strong results. New York, LA, and Chicago tend to have more businesses with existing sites. SiteHunter works in any US city, town, or suburb.

The credit for that scan is returned automatically when it finds zero qualifying leads — and also when it finds only 1–4 (you keep those results). This usually happens in big competitive markets where most businesses already have websites. Try a smaller nearby city or a different trade.

Some markets are denser than others. Try a smaller city, a different trade, or a nearby suburb. If a scan finds fewer than 5 qualifying leads, the credit for that scan is returned to your account automatically and you keep the results.

Yes — each scan uses 1 credit. Listings and site quality change, so the same search may surface different leads on different days.

Most scans finish in 90 seconds or less. Larger markets with more businesses to check may take a bit longer.

Each lead includes the business name, address, phone number, and (where available) email. Some businesses don't publish contact info publicly — in those cases the name and address are enough to find them.

Some businesses don't publish an email — they use contact forms or phone only. The phone number and address are still plenty for outreach.

Some Google listings don't include a phone number. The business name and address are enough to find and contact them directly.

Each market scan uses 1 credit regardless of how many leads come back. Credits are one-time bundles — no subscriptions, no monthly fees. They never expire so you use them on your own schedule.

Never. Credits you buy today are valid forever. No monthly fees, no deadlines, no pressure.

The credit for that scan is returned to your account automatically — for zero results, and also for scans that find only 1–4 qualifying leads (you keep those). You're never charged for a scan that finds fewer than 5 leads.

Credit purchases are final and aren't refunded for cash. The credit for a scan is returned to your account automatically whenever the scan finds fewer than 5 qualifying leads — zero, or only 1–4 (you keep those results). Credits never expire, so there's no urgency to use them. The exact rule is in the Terms, section 5.5.

Every new account gets 1 free scan credit. No card required. The free credit never expires — use it whenever you're ready.

$11 per scan, pay as you go — no subscriptions and no tiers. Every scan gets the same full results, contact info and features, credits never expire, and every new account starts with 1 free scan. See the Pricing page for details.

Use the phone number or email on each card. Mention you found them online and noticed their website needs attention. Keep your pitch short, specific, and focused on what it costs them NOT to have a working site.

Keep it simple. Something like — "Hi, I'm a web developer based in [city]. I came across your business online and noticed your website isn't showing up properly. I help local businesses get set up online — do you have 5 minutes?" Short, specific, non-pushy.

Lead with what they're losing — customers searching for their service who can't find them. Don't lead with what you're selling. "You're losing customers" lands faster than "I build websites."

Higher scores mean a bigger, easier-to-pitch opportunity. A business with a missing or broken website is a blank slate — easiest pitch, biggest project. A working site with smaller issues is a smaller project, but often easier to close since they already value being online.

Yes. SiteHunter surfaces publicly available business information. Contacting a local business about their website is standard business development. Make sure your outreach complies with the CAN-SPAM Act (email) and TCPA (phone) in the states you serve.

Yes. We only access publicly available business information — the same info anyone can find via Google. We don't access private data, bypass authentication, or collect personal information about individuals.
