About Before You Build

Before You Build is a free tool for web designers, freelancers and small agencies who sell websites to local businesses.

Pick a US state, a city and a niche (roofers, plumbers, HVAC, landscapers and more). You get:

  • How many people search for that niche in that city each month

  • What a click costs on Google, and how strong the competition is

  • The weak Google Maps listings: businesses with no website, a Google profile nobody claimed, or under 10 reviews

Every figure shows its source (DataForSEO) and the date it was read.

Your first check is free, no sign-up: you see 3 businesses in full. The full list comes by email as a table and a CSV, with a Google Maps link for each business. You can also get an alert when a new business without a website shows up in that niche and city.

Built by Eldar Elmakias, who runs a small agency and made this to find his own clients.

  • Any US city and niche
  • Monthly search demand

Hi! Quick story about pizza and founders.

Our Premium pass costs $19. That's one large pizza.

You know what happens after you eat a large pizza? Nothing. It's gone. Maybe some regret.

But $19 on Premium? Your product gets a permanent dofollow backlink from a DR 72 directory. Featured on the homepage. A guaranteed tournament slot.

That listing stays there for years. The pizza? Gone in 20 minutes.

The price is identical. The value is not.

Launch your product, not your calories.
