See where Austin's new work is starting, before your competitors do.
We read new permits and business openings and send the ones that matter to your trade, so you can plan routes, crews and marketing early.
How it works
No software to learn. It shows up in your inbox.
1. We watch the records
City of Austin permits, Texas Comptroller new sales-tax permits and TABC liquor-license applications for the City of Austin, checked every business morning.
2. We sort it by trade
A new pool or generator permit goes to pool, fence, landscaping and electrical crews. A new storefront goes to cleaning, pest and sign shops. You only see your lane.
3. You get a short list
A weekly report every Monday, plus daily lead cards on Pro. A clean email plus a spreadsheet you can open anywhere.
Built for small trade businesses, including:
