Find a lead. Build the site. Make the handoff. Practical instructions for the tools in your workspace.

Start here

The path from a business listing to a client website.

What SiteSeeker does

Find businesses, organize your leads, build websites, and manage previews and sales in one workspace.

  1. Lead Finder discovers businesses in your target market. Saved Leads holds the prospects you want to follow up with.
  2. Projects connect a business to its website, preview link, sale settings, and activity.
  3. The Builder tab creates and edits a site from a brief or a saved lead. You can also deploy an existing site from GitHub or a ZIP file in Hosting.

Your first project

Start with one business and a clear scope.

  1. Search an industry and location in Lead Finder, review the results, and save a suitable business.
  2. Open the lead, record your notes, and create its project. Confirm the business details before building.
  3. Build the site in the Builder tab with Generate website on the lead, then publish it and link it to the project with Link existing site. You can also link a site you already host.
  4. Review the website on desktop and mobile, check the contact details, then share the project preview link.
Follow the full playbook

Lead Finder

Find and evaluate businesses before you reach out.

Search for businesses

Choose a category or keyword and a location. Review the search cost shown in the form before running it.

  1. Pick a category, such as roofing or auto repair, or a keyword on paid plans, then add a city or zip code. You can add more than one location.
  2. Choose Quick or Advanced search, and turn on Refresh review dates if you need current review dates. Search credits and recency credits are separate from AI credits.
  3. Results list businesses with no website. Check each one’s phone, address, rating, reviews, and lead score, and verify the details before outreach.
Open Lead Finder

Filter and sort results

Narrow the results to businesses that fit your offer.

  1. Set Min rating, Min reviews, or Max reviews under Filters before you search. After the search, narrow the results by category or turn on Phone only.
  2. Sort by lead quality, best match, rating, reviews, or name, then open a business to inspect its details.
  3. A lead score helps prioritize research; it is not a guarantee that the business will buy.

Export leads

Export is included on paid plans. Copy or download leads as a CSV.

  1. In Lead Finder, Export copies or downloads the leads on screen as a CSV. In Saved Leads, select rows in List view and choose Export. Export settings sets which fields are included.
  2. Open the CSV in your spreadsheet or CRM and check the column mapping before importing.
  3. Keep your notes about permission and follow-up preferences with each contact.

Saved Leads

Keep the next conversation and next action clear.

Manage your pipeline

Save a business from its card or detail view to track it in Saved Leads.

  1. Use the Board or List view to review your pipeline.
  2. Add notes in the lead’s Activity tab as you learn about the business, including the next follow-up you agreed on.
  3. Open a saved lead to generate a call guide or an AI website plan on a paid plan, then use Generate website or Create project.

Note. Review generated guides before using them. Replace assumptions with facts you have confirmed.

Update lead statuses

The pipeline status records your outreach progress; project status records the website sale.

  1. Move a lead to the right stage with its status control, or drag it between board columns.
  2. Update the stage after a real conversation or decision, and keep context in your notes.
  3. Creating a project lets you manage the website without losing the lead’s history.

Projects and sales

Connect the site, preview, and client offer.

Create a project

Create a project from a saved lead with Create project, or from Projects with New project. Check the business name and contact details.

  1. Open the project to add notes and manage its website.
  2. Use Set up website to deploy a site in Hosting, or Link existing site to attach one you host, including a site you published from the Builder.
  3. Open the preview yourself before sending it to a client.
Open Projects

List and sell a website

Use Create listing in the project’s Revenue card to prepare the offer a client will see.

  1. Connect your payout account and complete the seller requirements when prompted.
  2. Set the sale price and any monthly maintenance. Review the fees and sale details, then publish the listing.
  3. Share the project preview or purchase link, then choose Mark preview as sent. The client uses checkout to pay and complete the handoff.
  4. Review payment and handoff status in the project. To hand over a site yourself, use Transfer to client; the invite expires after 48 hours. Hosting and optional maintenance are separate parts of the offer.

Note. A sent preview is not a completed sale. Confirm the payment and handoff status before treating the project as finished.

How selling works

Read project activity

Project and portfolio views show preview activity and sales progress.

  1. Review views, unique visitors, CTA clicks, and contact clicks when deciding whether to follow up.
  2. Use the revenue and conversion information alongside the project’s payment status.
  3. Views and clicks show activity, not an agreement to buy.

AI Website Builder

Build, revise, and publish a site in the Builder tab.

Create the first version

Open the Builder tab and describe the site, or use Generate website on a saved lead.

  1. Confirm the business name, services, location, phone number, and the goal of the website.
  2. Describe the pages and visual direction. When building from a lead you can add up to 10 of your own photos. After the first build you can attach images in the chat.
  3. Review the builder’s response and follow the build controls. Watch progress in the workspace.
  4. Inspect the result in the Desktop, Tablet, and Phone previews. Check factual claims, contact links, and forms before sharing.

Note. Builds, edits, and guides share one AI credit balance. Check it before starting another build.

Explore the builder workflow

Request changes

Open the site in the Builder tab and describe a focused change in its chat.

  1. Name the page or section and explain the result you want, such as replacing a headline or adding a service.
  2. If a build is running, use the available queue or stop controls instead of repeatedly submitting the same request.
  3. Review the updated preview after the build completes, and resolve any reported error before sharing it.

Publish and link the site

Publishing puts the builder site on a siteseeker.app address that counts toward your hosted sites.

  1. Choose Publish, review the address in the confirm step, and confirm. Later edits reach the public site when you choose Publish changes.
  2. Open the project for this client and use Link existing site to attach the published site.
  3. Copy the project’s preview link and open it as the client would before you share it.

Note. Use Version history in the builder to look back at earlier versions of the site.

Hosting and domains

Deploy your source and connect the address clients use.

Deploy from GitHub or ZIP

Choose New site in Hosting and pick the source that fits your project.

  1. For GitHub, connect your account and install the GitHub App, pick the repository, then enter the branch to deploy. Use Configure repos if a repository is missing.
  2. For ZIP, upload a .zip of your site. The upload limit is 100 MB.
  3. Follow the build status and open the logs in Deployments. The deployment goes live after a successful build; build time depends on the project.
  4. Open the site’s siteseeker.app address and test it. Later updates use the connected GitHub branch or a new upload.
Open Hosting

Connect a custom domain

Your site has a siteseeker.app address. You can connect a domain you own from the site’s Domains tab, or buy one there.

  1. Choose Connect a domain, add the hostname, and copy the DNS records shown in its setup steps.
  2. Make the changes with your DNS provider. Use the records from your site’s setup screen, since apex and subdomain instructions differ.
  3. Return to the Domains tab and choose Verify to check DNS and certificate status. DNS and certificate issuance can take time.
  4. Open the HTTPS address after the domain is ready and check redirects and navigation.

Note. If verification is pending, check for conflicting DNS records and follow the status message before changing anything else.

Plans, credits, and hosting limits

Your subscription determines your available credits and hosted-site capacity.

  1. Search credits, AI credits, and recency credits are separate balances. Review usage in your account before purchasing more.
  2. SiteSeeker plans and standalone hosting plans have different allowances. Check the plan attached to the account that owns the site.
  3. Use the current pricing pages and account usage screen for limits and billing amounts, including any custom agency allowance.
Compare SiteSeeker plans

Getting help

Give support the context needed to reproduce the problem.

Start a support conversation

Open Help in the sidebar and describe the page and action that failed. An assistant answers first.

  1. Include the project or site name, the visible error, and what you expected to happen.
  2. Attach a screenshot when it helps (PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF up to 10 MB). Keep passwords, API keys, payment details, and other secrets out of the chat.
  3. If you need a person, choose Talk to a human in the support conversation.
