How Heimdall finds local business leads
Compare Google Places and Foursquare lead discovery. See how to connect API keys, choose a lead target, review results, and work with your team.
Connect your own provider key
Use Google Places for operational businesses without a listed website, or Foursquare to find business websites, phones, and social profiles. Provider fees are separate from ₹100.
Choose a lead target
Choose 10, 25, or 50 leads per search. The target sets an upper bound and actual results depend on the provider, category, and location.
How Google Places expands a search
Heimdall can fetch more pages and try related category and area variations while deduplicating by place ID. Foursquare searches the chosen category and city in a single request.
Follow search progress
Switch between dashboard screens while your search runs. When results are ready, a notification shows the count and opens the results.
Review match quality and permissions
Phone numbers may be duplicated, malformed or unrelated. Public availability is not marketing consent.
Save eligible results and work together
Named files, CSV exports and team copies require permission under source terms and applicable law. Saved files and exports include returned business details; provider permissions remain a launch-review requirement.
Lead search questions
What is Heimdall?
Heimdall is a local business lead discovery workspace. Search by business type and location, review public business contact information, and organize eligible results in shared lead folders.
What is the difference between Google Places and Foursquare?
Google Places finds operational businesses with no website listed in their Google record. Foursquare finds local businesses and shows websites, phone numbers, and social profiles when available.
Will I always get 50 leads?
No. You can choose 10, 25, or 50 as a target. Google Places may search related categories and areas. Foursquare requests up to the selected number in a single search. Either can return fewer matches.
What does ₹100 include?
The one-time payment covers current Premium features for the operating lifetime of Heimdall. Connect your own provider keys. Google Places and Foursquare bill API usage separately.
Can I use any result for marketing?
A public listing does not establish consent to contact a business. Check the provider terms and the rules for your outreach channel and recipient.
