How to Find Businesses with Bad Photos Using PixelMotion's Discovery Tool

The Business Discovery Tool

PixelMotion's Business Finder is your lead generation engine. Instead of manually browsing Google Maps and websites looking for businesses with poor photos, the tool automates this entire process.

How It Works

Step 1: Access the Business Finder

Log into your PixelMotion dashboard
Navigate to Discover Businesses in the sidebar
You'll see the search interface

Step 2: Set Your Search Parameters

Location:

Enter a city, zip code, or address
Set a search radius (1-25 miles)
Can be anywhere in the world

Business Type:

Enter keywords like "restaurants," "salons," "auto repair"
Or use specific terms like "Italian restaurant," "nail salon"
The more specific, the more targeted your leads

Example searches:

"Coffee shops in Brooklyn, NY"
"Hair salons near 90210"
"Dental offices in Austin, TX"

Step 3: Run the Scrape

Click Search and PixelMotion will:

Query Google Maps for matching businesses
Collect business information (name, address, phone, website)
Scrape photos from Google Maps listings
Scrape photos from business websites (if available)
Analyze each photo with AI

Typical results: 20-50 businesses per search

Step 4: Review Quality Scores

Each photo gets an AI quality score from 0-100:

Score Range	Quality Level	Lead Priority

Focus on businesses with average scores under 60—these are your best prospects.

Step 5: Filter and Sort

Use the dashboard to:

Sort by quality score (lowest first)
Filter by business type
Filter by number of photos available
Hide businesses you've already contacted

Step 6: Save Your Lead List

Export your filtered leads with:

Business name and address
Contact information
Website URL
Photo quality scores
Links to original photos

Optimizing Your Searches

Best Practices

Be specific with business types:

"Mexican restaurants" instead of just "restaurants"
"Wedding photographers" instead of "photographers"
"Crossfit gyms" instead of just "gyms"

Target underserved areas:

Suburban neighborhoods
Small towns near major cities
New developments

Avoid oversaturated markets:

Downtown areas of major cities often have better photos
Large chains typically have professional photography
