Use case
A prospecting tool for freelancers who sell to local businesses
Freelancers do not have time for heavy sales tools or the budget for large lists. What helps is a quick way to find a handful of good local prospects each week and a place to remember what you promised each one. That is the job LeadsMint is designed for.
Working with a small credit budget
Search is free, so you can look at as many businesses as you want. You only spend a credit when you unlock one. That favours a deliberate approach: review a full page of results, pick the three to five that really fit what you offer, and unlock only those. Monthly plans add credits each month; one-time packs suit irregular prospecting. See the pricing section.
Matching prospects to your offer
If you build websites or manage listings, the No website filter surfaces businesses that list no website. If you do photography, copywriting, bookkeeping or consulting, search the business types that buy your service in your own town and sort by rating to find established ones.
Local freelancers have an advantage: you can mention the neighbourhood and the specific business in your first message, which reads very differently from a template.
A light weekly routine
- Pick one niche and one area
Keep it close to where you can meet or call.
- Shortlist and unlock a few
Be selective; credits are best spent on real fits.
- Contact and note it
Add the contact and a note about what you offered.
- Follow up on a fixed day
Filter by Follow-up and message the ones you promised to revisit.
Know the limits
LeadsMint will not write your proposals, send emails or guarantee that a business will answer. Contact details come from Google Maps when the business has listed them, and email addresses are not provided. Treat the tool as a way to organise your prospecting, not a source of guaranteed clients.

An example for a solo freelancer
A freelance designer decides to approach local restaurants and cafes. They run one search around their town, review the results for free, and unlock four that look like a good match. Each lead goes into the CRM with a note about what the designer noticed. They contact the four businesses over the week, mark the replies, and set a follow-up date for the two that were interested. The next month they repeat the process for a different category.
Frequently asked questions
Which plan suits a freelancer?
That depends on how often you prospect. Compare monthly plans and one-time packs on the pricing section.
Can I add clients I already have?
You can add leads manually, which is useful for referrals and contacts from other sources.
Try the workflow yourself
Searching is free. Unlock a business for one credit when it is worth pursuing, and it goes straight into your CRM. Plans and credit packs are on the pricing section of the homepage.
