It introduces higher-volume results, multi-select saving, duplicate detection, and customizable result views so agencies can scale prospecting without spreadsheets or manual copy-paste. --- ## **Key Benefits of Bulk Prospecting** Educational description: Understanding the core benefits helps teams decide where Bulk Prospecting fits in their acquisition workflow and how to unlock speed, accuracy, and scale in day‑to‑day outreach. - **Smarter search controls:** Search by industry or brand using keywords, pair with location (address or “near me”), and set a radius (up to ~30 miles / 49 km) to focus results. - **Higher result volume:** Return up to 60 leads per search (Google‑imposed cap), expanding coverage beyond the legacy 20‑lead limit. - **Batch saving at scale:** Select and add up to 15 leads per batch—selection persists across pages so you capture more with fewer clicks. - **Built‑in duplicate detection:** See whether a prospect is already saved via the Status column to avoid re‑work. - **Prioritization tools:** Sort by Prospect Score, Google rating, or website/GBP indicators to focus on high‑value leads first. - **Customizable layout:** Choose the columns you need and set rows per page for faster scanning and processing. --- ## **Smarter Search** Search settings control what appears in your results. Dialing in keyword, location, and radius ensures you see the most relevant businesses and reduces time spent skimming. - **Keyword / Business Name:** Type an industry (e.g., “Dentist,” “Roofing Contractor”) or a specific brand (e.g., “KFC”). - **Location:** Enter a full address/city/ZIP or type **near me** to use IP‑based geolocation (accuracy may vary on VPNs or shared office IPs). - **Radius:** Limit the area of your search to ~30 miles (49 km). Broader radius returns more results but may reduce local relevance. ![Smarter Search (image 1 of 12)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155055130935/original/TqAwJXU6b9HCQiZOXSr0-i2jDNtJbvKcOQ.png) **Smarter Search (image 1 of 12)** This screenshot appears in the "Smarter Search" section of "Bulk Prospecting in GHL Customer Care".

If near me looks off, check VPN/location settings or type the location explicitly. --- ## **Frequently Asked Questions** **Q: Why do I only see up to 60 results per search?** The cap is imposed by Google. Run additional searches with different keywords/locations to expand coverage. **Q: How many prospects can I save at once?** Up to 15 per batch. Selection persists across pages until you add them. **Q: What does “Generating Prospect (xx%)” mean?** GHL Customer Care is creating the prospect record and preparing the Marketing Audit. It will switch to **Added** when complete. **Q: How does duplicate detection work?** If a business has already been saved in your account, the **Status** shows **Added**. Use **View** to open the existing record instead of adding it again. **Q: Can I filter to only businesses without a website?** Yes. Sort/filter by the **Website** column and focus outreach on businesses marked **No**. **Q: Where can I change the columns I see?** Click **Manage Columns** to show/hide and reorder fields such as Prospect Score, Online Presence, Website, and Status. **Q: Does “near me” always use my exact location?** It uses IP‑based geolocation, which can be affected by VPNs or office network routing. Enter a specific location if precision matters. --- Documentation for GHL Customer Care. Support: support@ghlcustomercare.com
