# SMM Lead Finder > Lead generation for social media marketing agencies. Searches local businesses by category and city, analyses each one for real social media gaps — dormant accounts, missing tracking pixels, channel mismatches, weak mobile sites — and returns the specific finding, a verified contact, and an opening line. ## What it is for - Audience: SMM agencies, freelancers and consultants selling social media management to local businesses. - Problem it solves: qualifying local businesses by hand takes five to eight minutes each, which is the real bottleneck in agency prospecting. - Coverage: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, with city-level pages for 36 metros. - Pricing: free tier with 25 analysed leads a month and no card required; Pro at $19/month. - Outreach sends from the user's own connected Gmail, so sender reputation and replies stay with them. ## Product - [Home](https://www.smmleadfinder.site): what the product does and how the analysis works. - [Pricing](https://www.smmleadfinder.site/pricing): plans, credits and limits. - [Comparison](https://www.smmleadfinder.site/smm-deal-finder-alternative): how this differs from adjacent lead tools. - [Market data](https://www.smmleadfinder.site/market): category and market signals. - [About](https://www.smmleadfinder.site/about) ## Free tools All run client-side with no sign-up and no data collection, so they can be linked or cited directly. - [Cold email compliance checker](https://www.smmleadfinder.site/tools/cold-email-compliance): whether emailing a given business is lawful under CAN-SPAM (US), CASL (Canada) or PECR and UK GDPR, and what the message must contain.
