# Tellsign

> Tellsign finds local businesses that visibly need an agency's services, ranked by opportunity, with proof-based website audits and the exact reason to reach out.

Tellsign is a client-finding tool for marketing agencies and freelancers, web design, SEO, paid ads (Google Ads), reputation/review management, booking systems and more. You pick a niche and a city; Tellsign pulls the local businesses from Google, runs a real website and Google Business Profile audit on each (mobile speed, mobile layout, contact and booking paths, SEO fundamentals, reviews/reputation, Google Ads setup and conversion tracking), scores every business by how badly it needs a specific service, and returns a ranked shortlist with the supporting evidence attached for outreach. The crawler reads and audits sites in roughly 30 languages. Try it free for 7 days: scan up to 50 leads and see every score. The top 3 from your first scan come fully revealed, and 10 unlocks reveal more. No credit card is required to start. Built by VICTUM GROUP, s. r. o., Bratislava, Slovakia.
