Hound is a live search engine for leads — not a stale database. Maps, the company register, Reddit, the open web and social all sweep the moment you ask. Every prospect comes back scored, with the reason and the opener written.

plumbers in Leeds with no website
The live product. Pick a hunt — staged sample data.
/// Data sources
Openers built from what the pack actually found — the missing website, the dead Instagram, the unanswered reviews. Not an AI employee spamming on your behalf: Hound finds and drafts, you judge and send.

01
Your niche, your patch. “Restaurants in Manchester without websites” is a complete instruction.
02
Every source it will sweep, priced, totalled, and waiting for your confirm. Drop any of them first.
03
Scored 0–100 with the reason, the verified email, and the opener written. Export anywhere.
01 / System
Six sources, one sweep, one scored list. Everything below is live in the product today.
[ discovery ]
Name a niche and a place. The pack sweeps it live and comes back with the businesses worth pitching, ranked. Ask for a region and the hunt splits into its principal towns, sweeps each one, and merges the results.
Any city on earth
Manchester to Osaka. Every hunt runs at the moment you ask — there is no stored list to go stale.
Whole-region sweeps
“Dentists across Yorkshire with no website” fans out over up to ten towns in a single hunt. Hunter and above.
The cost, before it runs
Every hunt previews its credit total and waits for your confirm. No surprise spend, ever.
Exports that follow you
XLSX and Google Sheets. Your pipeline, your tools, no lock-in.
[ one hunt, every source ]
Maps, the company register, Reddit, the wider web and public social profiles run in the same hunt instead of one at a time — and you see each one priced before a credit is spent.
Maps & listings
Every business on the map, with ratings, reviews, and contact gaps surfaced.
The company register
Companies House riding alongside the map sweep — age, sector, and official filings.
Reddit and the open web
People asking for what you sell, pulled into the same scored list as the storefronts.
Drop what you don't want
Toggle any source off before the hunt runs and watch the total fall. Nothing runs unapproved.
[ coverage / before it runs ]
[ gap filters ]
A database can tell you a business exists. Only a live search can tell you it has 212 reviews, a 4.8 rating, and no website at all. That gap is your pitch, so it is the thing you get to filter on.
Presence gaps
No website, no phone, no email listed, no booking system — pick the exact hole you fill.
Official hygiene ratings
“Restaurants in Leeds rated below 4” checked against the FSA's own register, free and authoritative.
Tech stack
WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify — know what they're running before you write a word.
Hiring right now
Careers pages, ATS embeds, and “we're hiring” copy read off their own site. Hiring means budget.

[ live intent ]
Reddit and the open web are where people admit what they need. Hound reads the posts, judges which are genuinely buying, and scores them next to every map lead.
Live intent posts
“Can anyone recommend…” threads found hours after they go up, not months later.
Wider than Reddit
Quora, Mumsnet, public Facebook pages, and general forums swept in the same pass.
Judged, not just matched
Every post is read for real buying intent, so venting and window-shopping don't reach your list.
Context included
The subreddit, the post, and what they asked for — your opener writes itself.

[ the register ]
Companies House is the earliest signal there is. A restaurant that registered eleven days ago needs everything, has been pitched by nobody, and is not in any database you can buy.
New-business watch
Incorporations by sector and area, on a window that rolls forward every run so it never goes stale.
Recently raised
Checked against SH01 share-allotment filings — it catches raises nobody announced.
Funding stage
Seed, Series A, B, or C+, cross-read against funding news for the companies that did announce.
Age and sector
“Founded since 2022”, filtered by SIC code, so a firmographic hunt lands on the right industry.
Ancoats Table Ltd
[ companies house ]
Opening in weeks, no site, no booking, funded. Nobody has pitched them yet.
[ qualification ]
Claude reads everything the pack found against what you actually sell, then scores each lead on a fixed scale — so 92 means the same thing in this hunt as it did in the last one.
Why this lead
The reasons in plain English, plus the angle to open with: “212 reviews, 4.8 rating, invisible online.”
Disqualifiers named
Chain brands, businesses already using an agency, permanently closed — flagged before you waste a pitch.
Verified emails
Valid, risky, or invalid shown on the card and in the export. You know what you have before you send.
Found 4 minutes ago
A freshness timestamp on every lead. Independently checkable beats a round marketing number.

02 / Standing orders
Turn any hunt into a watch and Hound re-runs it on your cadence. A new-business watch slides its date window forward every time, so it surfaces this month's arrivals instead of rescanning the same frozen list.
It never charges you twice
Leads you already paid for are remembered and suppressed. Only what's genuinely new reaches the alert.
It spots momentum
Businesses whose review counts start climbing are flagged as heating up — busy, and about to need you.
It tells you where you want to hear it
Email or Slack, the moment a run finds something. Quiet weeks stay quiet.

04 / Yield
Say a website is £500. Close thirty in a month and that is £15,000. Most people close fewer and charge more, so set your own numbers and see what a month of hunting is worth.
Hunter's 1,000 monthly credits are hundreds of scored prospects to close them from.
