Bulk Prospecting makes it faster to find, evaluate, and save multiple local leads from Google Maps inside the Prospecting Tool. Use keyword, location (including “near me”), and radius controls to surface up to 60 leads per search. Sort by what matters, detect duplicates automatically, and save up to 15 prospects in a single batch. This guide explains how to run smart searches, customize your layout, and launch outreach with confidence.
Bulk Prospecting is an enhanced search-and-save workflow in GHL Customer Care’s Prospecting Tool that streamlines lead discovery and capture from Google Maps. It introduces higher-volume results, multi-select saving, duplicate detection, and customizable result views so agencies can scale prospecting without spreadsheets or manual copy-paste.
Key Benefits of Bulk Prospecting
Educational description: Understanding the core benefits helps teams decide where Bulk Prospecting fits in their acquisition workflow and how to unlock speed, accuracy, and scale in day‑to‑day outreach.
Smarter search controls: Search by industry or brand using keywords, pair with location (address or “near me”), and set a radius (up to ~30 miles / 49 km) to focus results.
Higher result volume: Return up to 60 leads per search (Google‑imposed cap), expanding coverage beyond the legacy 20‑lead limit.
Batch saving at scale: Select and add up to 15 leads per batch—selection persists across pages so you capture more with fewer clicks.
Built‑in duplicate detection: See whether a prospect is already saved via the Status column to avoid re‑work.
Prioritization tools: Sort by Prospect Score, Google rating, or website/GBP indicators to focus on high‑value leads first.
Customizable layout: Choose the columns you need and set rows per page for faster scanning and processing.
Smarter Search
Search settings control what appears in your results. Dialing in keyword, location, and radius ensures you see the most relevant businesses and reduces time spent skimming.
Keyword / Business Name: Type an industry (e.g., “Dentist,” “Roofing Contractor”) or a specific brand (e.g., “KFC”).
Location: Enter a full address/city/ZIP or type near me to use IP‑based geolocation (accuracy may vary on VPNs or shared office IPs).
Radius: Limit the area of your search to ~30 miles (49 km). Broader radius returns more results but may reduce local relevance.

Tips:
1.If you hit the 60‑lead cap, broaden the radius, tweak keywords (e.g., “roofer” vs “roofing contractor”), or move the center location to search a new area.
2. If near me looks off, check VPN/location settings or type the location explicitly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I only see up to 60 results per search?
The cap is imposed by Google. Run additional searches with different keywords/locations to expand coverage.
Q: How many prospects can I save at once?
Up to 15 per batch. Selection persists across pages until you add them.
Q: What does “Generating Prospect (xx%)” mean?
GHL Customer Care is creating the prospect record and preparing the Marketing Audit. It will switch to Added when complete.
Q: How does duplicate detection work?
If a business has already been saved in your account, the Status shows Added. Use View to open the existing record instead of adding it again.
Q: Can I filter to only businesses without a website?
Yes. Sort/filter by the Website column and focus outreach on businesses marked No.
Q: Where can I change the columns I see?
Click Manage Columns to show/hide and reorder fields such as Prospect Score, Online Presence, Website, and Status.
Q: Does “near me” always use my exact location?
It uses IP‑based geolocation, which can be affected by VPNs or office network routing. Enter a specific location if precision matters.
