From a local business search to HubSpot: a GridLead walkthrough

Grid Lead — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 20:50:18 +0000

I'm the maker of GridLead, a web app for researching local businesses and exporting selected results.

Here's a real workflow I tested: finding marketing agencies in Cambridge, UK, and transferring selected companies to HubSpot.

1. Define the search area

Choose a city or administrative area and a business category. GridLead shows the area boundary and a grid of search points.

The grid makes the search coverage visible. It doesn't guarantee that every business in the area will be found.

2. Review the results

This search returned 71 companies. GridLead also checked company websites for publicly listed email addresses, finding emails for 40 companies.

These are published addresses, not guessed or delivery-verified emails. Availability doesn't imply permission to send marketing messages.

3. Select what to export

The results can be filtered by available phone numbers, websites, and emails.

You can export selected rows to Excel or CSV. Alternatively, you can connect HubSpot or Pipedrive and send selected companies to your CRM.

4. Transfer to HubSpot

In this test, I transferred two selected companies successfully.

The integration can create company records and associate email contacts with them. Transfers are user-triggered: this isn't bidirectional CRM sync.

For testing, use a test CRM account or select records carefully, because the transfer creates or updates real CRM records.

What I'd like feedback on

I'm particularly interested in whether the first-search workflow is clear and whether results match the chosen business category.

GridLead has a free plan with 5 searches per month and up to 200 unlocked companies per search. Real searches require registration; the homepage demo uses sample data.
