Executive Summary

Local sales teams, SMB-focused agencies, and inside sales reps waste hundreds of hours and significant budget manually finding, verifying, and enriching local business leads, often ending up with low-intent contacts and high churn. This problem is acute for sellers targeting the 3M local businesses segment where timely, accurate contact and intent data can make or break conversion rates. You could build an AI-driven lead discovery and enrichment platform (API + dashboard) that harvests public signals (online bookings, reviews, directories, social), uses LLMs and entity-extraction models to surface contacts and intent, auto-enriches profiles, deduplicates records, and pushes scored leads into CRMs. The product would include confidence scoring, real-time updates, and compliance tooling to make it production-ready for revenue teams. The market is attractive now: a $9.0B opportunity (3M businesses × ~$3K ACV) with a Market Score of 88/100 and Revenue Potential 86/100, driven by better AI extraction, richer public signals, and a shift to automation-first sales workflows that lower lead acquisition cost. Competition is medium, so there’s room to capture share if you move fast and demonstrate consistent ROI. You can stand out by offering industry-tuned intent models, higher precision and freshness than third-party lists, an API-first architecture, and easy CRM integrations to reduce time-to-value. Expect real challenges around data freshness, privacy/compliance, and initial training/verification, so focus early on a high-value vertical and measurable CAC reduction to prove the model.
