In short
The GoHighLevel prospecting tool finds local businesses by niche and area, scores them on a digital presence audit, and lets you add them as contacts in one click. It is built into the platform, so you mine leads and run outreach in the same place. You pick a category and city, review the audit data, then push the businesses you want into a smart list and start a sequence.
- Search local businesses by niche and city inside GoHighLevel, no separate scraper needed.
- See an instant audit of each business, like website, reviews, and ad presence.
- Add the ones you want as contacts, then run email or SMS outreach from the same CRM.
What is the GoHighLevel prospecting tool?
The prospecting tool is a built-in feature that searches for local businesses by category and location. For each result it runs a quick audit and shows signals like whether the business has a website, how many Google reviews it has, and whether it runs ads.
This is a lead generation use case in the RocketLauncher library. The point of difference from a plain scraper is that the prospecting tool lives inside the CRM, so the leads you find flow straight into your contacts and workflows without an export and import step.
How is it different from scraping Google Maps?
Scraping Google Maps gives you a raw list you have to clean and import yourself. The prospecting tool gives you scored leads inside GoHighLevel with audit data attached, ready to add as contacts.
Use the prospecting tool when you want speed and a built-in flow. Use a separate scraper when you need a very large export or fields the prospecting tool does not capture. Many agencies use both.
How do you mine leads in bulk?
Open the prospecting tool, choose a niche and a city, and run the search. Review the audit column and sort by the signal that matters to your offer, for example businesses with no website or with few reviews.
Select the businesses that fit and add them as contacts. Apply a tag during this step so each mining run stays its own batch. Then build a smart list from that tag for outreach.
How do you turn mined leads into outreach?
Once the leads are contacts, build a short workflow: a first touch, a wait, then a follow-up. Tie the message to the audit signal you found. If a business has no website, lead with that. If it has weak reviews, lead with reviews.
Track replies in the conversations inbox and move warm leads into a pipeline. Stop the sequence as soon as someone replies or opts out.
Which plan do you need and what does it cost?
The prospecting tool is available inside GoHighLevel plans. GoHighLevel Starter is $97 per month, Unlimited is $297 per month, and Pro is $497 per month. Email, SMS, and AI are billed by usage on top of the plan.
You can test the prospecting tool during the 30-day free trial through RocketLauncher, mine a batch of leads, and run a small sequence before you pay for anything.
What should you charge for lead mining as a service?
If you do this for clients, price it as a setup fee for the first batch plus a monthly retainer to keep mining and contacting leads. Charging per booked appointment is another model that ties your fee to results.
Be clear with clients about what counts as a lead. A mined contact is not the same as a booked call, so set that expectation before you start.
What mistakes should you avoid?
Do not add thousands of mined leads and blast them on day one. Warm up your sending and start with a small batch so you protect your number and domain.
Do not skip the audit data. The whole value of the prospecting tool is the signal it gives you, so use it to personalize. And register for A2P 10DLC before any SMS outreach in the United States.
The RocketLauncher link gives you a 30-day free trial. The standard GoHighLevel signup is 14 days.
