What it does

The task

Find trade businesses that serve area on Google Maps and Yelp, with a rating of 4.5 or more and at least 20 reviews. Skip businesses with recent reviews about no-shows or unfinished work, and pick the best count. Write one quote request that describes the job: job. Show me the list and the text, and ask me before you send the request to each business through its own contact form. Log each business, the date sent and the link in a new Google Sheet named Quotes.

  • It works in Google Maps, Yelp, any web form and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.
  • It stops for your approval before it sends, posts, pays, books or changes a record.
