How BirdSift actually finds a lead
Not a filter form with more filters. Here's what happens between a sentence and a verified list.
Describe leads in plain English
No filter UI to configure. Say "plumbers in Montreal with no website, 4+ stars" and the agent plans the right Google Places queries itself.
isRealWebsite() — no false positives
A Facebook or Instagram page listed as the website still counts as no website. Every result is checked for a real, standalone site, not just a URL field.
Honest unknowns, not confident guesses
When a site sits behind a firewall or WAF, BirdSift reports it as unverified instead of returning a false negative — a deliberate choice most scrapers don't bother making.
Outdated-site signals, not just missing ones
Search for businesses whose site exists but isn't mobile-friendly or looks outdated — checked from the page's own HTML (viewport tag, legacy tech, stale copyright), not a subjective design opinion.
From lead to outreach in one list
Look up a contact email — free if found on-site, 1 credit for a deeper search — and draft an editable outreach email grounded in the specific facts BirdSift found. Never generic filler, never sent without you.
Built bilingual, not translated after
Full English and French coverage, including Québec's Bill 96 and France's RGPD opt-in rules — most local-lead tools are English/US-only.
