Hey PH!
I'm the founder of a similar product, called ForumScout (forumscout.app).
I noticed lots of people who were signing up for ForumScout were local businesses who needed local leads, which ForumScout doesn't support.
ThroughTheGrapevine.ai is a fork of ForumScout that finds leads across Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Reddit, LinkedIn (and more) and verifies the location of each lead based on signals such as:
- Post history (e.g. user mentions "I live in Los Angeles")
- Profile data (bios, profile locations)
- Post content
The result is that you'll only see warm leads within the exact service areas that you set (neighbourhoods, cities, counties, etc.).
It's been in development since September, and it's a very powerful tool if you need local leads.
There's a 14-day free trial (no card required) for all new signups.
If you give it a try, I'd love to hear your feedback!

Signed up for my plumbing business and the dashboard showed three real local requests within an hour, which was honestly more than I expected to see on day one.

One thing I'd love to see is the ability to filter the mentions by intent level, like separating "just browsing" questions from "ready to hire today" posts. It would save a lot of time sorting through everything to find the leads most likely to convert right now.

One thing I'd love to see is the ability to set response templates or canned replies you can quickly customize and post directly from the dashboard, so you're not jumping between tabs when you want to reply fast.
