New: the outreach machine
From found to replied without leaving the app.
Every lead ships with a pitch written from its own audit. Connect Gmail or Outlook once, send in one click from your address, and we watch the inbox: a reply flips the lead the moment it lands, and a polite follow-up goes out automatically if it doesn't.
1 · Pitch pre-written
Grounded in the lead's real audit, the exact problems, in their language.
Subject: Your booking page is costing you patients
Hi, I ran a quick check on your site. Patients can't book after hours (phone-only), and your mobile page takes 6.2s to load. Three nearby practices…
2 · Sent from your inbox
Your Gmail or Outlook, your sending reputation, one click, no copy-paste, no shared IPs.
3 · Reply detected
We watch the thread. The lead flips to Replied, the follow-up cancels itself, you get notified.
RepliedRiverside Dental Care
"Interesting, can you send over some examples? We've been meaning to fix the booking thing for months."
↻ follow-up cancelled · 2h ago
Send your first pitch today
Deliverability guarded: daily caps per mailbox, suppression lists, and you approve every first email.
Autopilot · it runs itself
Or don't lift a finger, put the whole loop on autopilot.
Pick your niches and cities once. Tellsign scans for new businesses every day, writes each pitch from its audit, sends from your inbox on your schedule, and keeps following up until they reply, and it never emails the same business twice.

Why us?
Sell agency services with a specific, provable reason to reach out.
We deliberately don't compete on volume with lead databases. A short list with a clear business case for your service beats ten thousand emails to people who didn't need your help.
Ranked, not just listed
Every business gets a 0-100 opportunity score with sub-scores you can tune per campaign.
Service-specific scoring
The same business ranks differently per service. 12 detectors, each tuned to its niche.
Proof, not vibes
Every finding ships with a High / Medium / Low confidence label. Verifiable. Auditable.

FAQ
You're probably already asking the right questions.
Run an opportunity scan
No, it's an opportunity intelligence tool. The list is short on purpose: businesses with visible reasons to need your specific service, with proof attached.
Discovery via the official Google Places API. Website signals via our crawler + Google PageSpeed (Lighthouse), including Google Ads tags and conversion tracking. Each lead links to the Meta Ad Library so you can check its Facebook and Instagram ads. Demo mode works offline with a deterministic generator.
Yes. A high-rating dentist without online booking scores 90 for a booking seller and 40 for a reputation agency. Weights are tunable per campaign and re-scoring is instant.
Yes, from YOUR inbox. Connect Gmail, Outlook or any mailbox and send the audit-grounded pitch in one click. We watch for replies (the lead flips to Replied automatically) and, if you arm it, send one polite follow-up after 3 days of silence. You approve every first email; nothing is blasted.
No shared IPs, no sending domain of ours. Every email goes out from your own mailbox over SMTP, exactly as if you pressed Send in Gmail. We add guardrails on top: a per-mailbox daily cap (30/day by default), your suppression list enforced before every send, and follow-ups that cancel the moment someone replies.
Yes: agency name, logo, brand color, booking link. Reports are shareable URLs that can also be printed to PDF. Embed the audit widget on your site for inbound.
Yes. Bearer-token auth, create + run campaigns programmatically, list ranked leads, register HMAC-signed webhooks for scan_complete / report_viewed / rule_fired events.
No. Every plan includes unlimited searches, so run as many niches, cities and re-scans as you like. A plan counts the leads we audit each month, never the searches you run, and a search that turns up nothing new costs nothing. Some lead tools cap you at one search a day on their cheapest plan; we don't cap searches on any.
Volume, not features. Every plan has the full audit, scoring, pitches in every language, white-label reports, the API, webhooks and unlimited searches. Plans differ in how many leads we audit a month, how many emails you can send and from how many mailboxes, and, from Small agency up, autopilot, automatic follow-ups and team seats.
We prefer generic business emails, store the source URL for every contact, and enforce your per-workspace suppression list before every send. You review and approve every first email; the only automation is a single follow-up you explicitly arm, which cancels itself on any reply. You stay in control of lawful basis.
