Mantis AI is a local lead intelligence platform built for tech and marketing agencies that want to find nearby businesses with a weak or missing digital presence. Instead of relying on a stale database, it searches live web sources to surface businesses that genuinely need help with their online footprint, then enriches each record with the people and contact details needed to start a conversation.
What it offers
The platform centers on a map-based discovery experience. You pick a location, and Mantis AI scans the surrounding area for businesses without websites or with poor SEO. Each result carries an intent score that combines the size of the digital gap with demand signals such as review volume and rating, so high-priority prospects rise to the top.
- Website gap detection identifies businesses with no site or a weak digital presence.
- Real-time web search pulls fresh results from more than 50 live sources, including maps, directories, social profiles, and the open web.
- Profile enrichment adds people, roles, reviews, services, and business details to each lead.
- Founder and contact finder surfaces decision-makers such as owners and marketing leads.
- Lead management lets you score, stage, and track prospects in a shared workspace.
- Bulk extraction and export moves lists into CSV, Excel, or your CRM.
Who it is for
Mantis AI is aimed at agencies, freelancers, and consultancies that sell web design, SEO, marketing, or development services to local businesses. It is also useful for sales teams that prospect within a defined geographic area and need verified contact data rather than raw listings. A separate jobs section helps people looking for roles rather than clients.
How it works
Every search runs against live sources rather than a stored database, and results are cross-checked across multiple sources before they reach your workspace. Searches in areas you have already scanned are free, and credits are spent only when Mantis does real work such as adding a lead with its contact details. Pricing is credit-based with no subscription: a free tier provides 500 credits, while paid tiers offer larger credit bundles at lower per-credit rates, with enterprise options for volume, invoicing, and API access.
What makes it different
The combination of live multi-source search, digital-gap scoring, and decision-maker enrichment is what separates Mantis AI from generic lead databases. It focuses on a specific, actionable signal — a business that clearly needs digital help — and pairs it with the contact information required to act on it. For agencies that prospect locally, that means less time filtering irrelevant records and more time pitching businesses that already have a reason to say yes.
