Frequently asked questions
What is Lead Engine?
Lead Engine is an AI-driven lead generation service for UK small businesses. It finds real local businesses matching your target profile, enriches them with contact channels (email, phone, LinkedIn, social handles), scores each for fit and readiness, and delivers a sorted list you can act on — or lets our AI run outreach campaigns for you.
Where does Lead Engine get its leads from?
From open public sources: Google Maps and Business Profiles, Companies House, trade directories, industry-body member lists, and the businesses’ own websites. Everything is compliant with UK GDPR and CAN-SPAM — we only surface publicly listed business contact channels, never personal data scraped without basis. If a lead is on a Do Not Contact list, it is filtered out.
How much does Lead Engine cost?
A one-off Lead Generation Pack is a scored list of around 100 targeted leads with contact channels, bought on its own as a fixed price. Ongoing monthly delivery — a fresh batch plus outreach automation — sits inside an Admin plan. Both are quoted after a free call, and we will tell you honestly on that call whether the volume justifies it for your trade.
How targeted can the leads actually be?
Very. You define trade, sub-sector, town or region, business size (1 to 50 employees), whether they have a website, whether they have a Google Business Profile, and any keywords they should or should not contain. Every lead is scored 0 to 100 for fit and readiness so you spend your outreach time on the ones most likely to say yes.
Does the AI actually reach out to leads or do I do that myself?
Both are available. You can take the sorted list and reach out however you like — cold email, LinkedIn, phone. Or you can enable Auto-Outreach, where our AI writes personalised opening messages, sends them via email or LinkedIn on your behalf and hands warm replies straight to you. You approve every message template before it sends.
What conversion rate should I expect?
Lower than anyone selling you outreach will admit. Cold email to small business owners is a numbers game — most are ignored, a small fraction reply, and a fraction of those become a conversation. A single pack of leads produces a handful of real conversations, not a pipeline. We would rather say that up front than quote you percentages we cannot stand behind. If an agency is promising double-digit conversion on cold outreach, they are either counting something else or making it up.
What is a “ready” lead?
A ready lead is one that shows recent signals of buying intent for your service: new hires in a relevant role, a website change indicating growth, a review pattern indicating a service gap, or explicit market signals we track. Lead Engine boosts these to the top of your list so your first outreach lands when the business is actually looking.
Is this GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Lead Engine works on publicly listed business contact channels (a shop’s Google-listed phone, a company’s Companies House filing address, a business’s published info@ email). No personal-only email is pulled without a lawful basis. Every outreach email includes a working opt-out and honours it forever. We keep an audit trail if you are ever asked.
