The play in three steps
A Google Business Profile above 100 reviews and 4.5 stars, with the website field empty, broken, or pointing to a Facebook page.
A hundred strangers already vouched for them in public. The trust is built and it points nowhere: no second visit, no email, no way back to a single happy customer.
The profile wins the first visit and nothing after it. Sell the second visit, not the site: a place where a hundred happy customers can come back.
Who it targets
- Ideal customer
- Local businesses in the verticals you build for, one to three locations, with a strong profile and no site to speak of.
- Decision maker
- The owner. It is on the profile, and it is who answers the reviews.
- Where the signal is read
- Google Maps by city and category, scraped weekly, review count and rating kept, website field checked.
- Window
- Permanent. The week after a burst of new reviews is when the owner is proudest, and reads.
First email
{firstName}, {companyName} has {reviewCount} reviews at {rating} stars on Google, and the website field sends people to {currentLink}.
A hundred people who love you, and nowhere to send the next one after the first visit.
If I could give those hundred customers a place to come back to and book again, live in [your timeframe] (you send me the photos, that's it), would you be interested in hearing more ?

PS: say no and I keep leaving you five stars anyway ;-)
From the signal to the first touch
Google Maps by city and category, 100+ reviews, 4.5 stars, no real site.
Your verticals, one to three locations, your exclusion list.
The owner's email, or the phone on the profile.
Two emails and one call, a human on every reply.
