Questions

Does this find email addresses for business owners?

No. It records published business channels only, like a contact form, a business phone, or a name on the business's own website. It never guesses emails or pulls personal data, because guessed contacts bounce and damage your reputation.

Why does it push restaurants down the list?

Restaurants are used to discounts and rarely renew. Businesses with recurring or high-ticket customers, like med spas, roofers, realtors and credit unions, tend to stay. Restaurants still make the list, just capped and pitched small placements.

What if I can't let Claude browse the web?

It works from what you paste. Anything it could not check is marked unverified and scores zero, and the list tells you exactly what to look up before you call.
