Gieek Console — outreach & pipeline

Who you are

Used in the console header and in anything it sends. Changing your reply-to address here does not change which mailbox sends — that is set under Domains and mailboxes.

Your nameSigns outgoing email.

CompanyShown in the header and in signatures.

Reply-to addressThe address you want prospects to answer.

PhonePrinted in signatures and call sheets.

Booking linkThe link every email offers as "book 30 minutes". Use your own booking page at gieek.store/book rather than a paid Calendly: it shows the same times, sends a confirmation with a calendar invitation, and costs nothing.

Company websiteLinked when a prospect asks where to look you up.

Postal addressPrinted at the foot of every cold email — CAN-SPAM requires a real one. A PO box or a registered mailbox counts, so this need not be where you live. Bulk sending will not run until it is filled in.

Scraper defaults

What the Scrape screen starts with every time you open it. You can still change any of it for a single run without touching this.

Starting cityPreloaded into the city box.

Search radius (miles)A box this many miles either side of the city centre. Bigger is slower and pulls in neighbouring towns.

Looking forno website = a call list. has website = an email list, because the address is scraped off their own site. any = both.

Only keep businesses with a phone numberOn: a row you cannot ring is dropped. Off: you get more rows, many of them uncontactable until you find an email.

Only return businesses nobody has scraped beforeOn: a rerun of a city gives you what is genuinely new. Signed in to the shared database that means new to anyone, including a run somebody else did five minutes ago; offline it means new to this browser. Off: every run returns everything it finds, duplicates and all.

Hunt emails automatically after a runOn: the moment a scrape finishes it starts crawling each business website for an address. Off: you press Find emails yourself.

Research and narrow every scrapeOn: each run is screened, crawled, matched against the state licence register and scored, and hands you a shortlist — everything below the bar is shelved with the reason, not thrown away. Off: every business found becomes a lead and you narrow it down yourself.

Find the names of the people who run themOn: each site is also read for its team and about pages, and the names found are attached to the lead — so you write to a person rather than to info@. Costs a second read of each site, so a very wide sweep runs faster without it.

Directory pages per searchMerchantCircle returns twenty businesses a page. Walking more pages finds more of a big city and takes a few seconds longer each. The walk stops by itself when a page stops returning anything new.

Keep leads scoring at leastOut of 100. Higher means a shorter, better list. Nothing below it is lost — it is shelved with its score, so lowering this number brings it back without re-scraping.

OpenStreetMap is the map itself. MerchantCircle is a business directory. Yelp, YellowPages, Manta and Hotfrog refuse server-side requests, which is why they are not options.

Domains and mailboxes

Where your cold email actually goes out from. One mailbox per domain, capped at 100 a day — that is what keeps it reading as a person writing to people rather than a bulk send. When you need more volume, buy another domain and another mailbox, add it here, and it starts warming the same day.

Sign in to the shared database below to add a mailbox — these are stored there, not in this browser.

Also use Amazon SES and Azure when every mailbox is fullOff. Both are still configured on the server and nothing has been deleted — they are simply not tried. SES is in a sandbox that refuses every address it was not told about in advance, so as a fallback it is not spare capacity, it is a second place a send can quietly fail. Turn this on once SES production access is granted.

A new mailbox sends 20 on its first day and 20 more each day after, reaching its cap on day five. That is slower than most guides advise, on purpose: ramping too slowly costs time, ramping too quickly costs the domain. Passwords are stored in the shared database so the server can authenticate with them — anyone who can sign in can read them.

Shared database

Configured, but signed out — so this console is working on its own copy. Sign in with the Supabase account you created under Authentication and the pipeline becomes shared. The rules grant an anonymous caller nothing, which is why the public API key is safe to ship.

AI email writer

Status: checking…

Open a lead that has an email address and press Write. It reads that business’s own website, takes everything on the lead, and drafts from what we actually sell. Nothing is sent — you copy it and send it from your own mailbox, which is what keeps a first contact reading like a person rather than a campaign.

GEMINI_API_KEY=...             # server-side only, never in the browser
GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-3.5-flash      # optional — this is already the default

· Four models are tried in order. If the first is retired or overloaded the next takes over, and a rolling -latest alias sits in the chain so a retirement cannot strand it.
· The draft tells you when a fallback wrote it, since the writing can read differently.
· The free tier is rate-limited per minute. A rejection is usually that, not the key.
· The website read happens on the server: a browser cannot fetch another site.
· The draft is checked for leftover [placeholders] before you see it.

0 leads, 0 saved scrape runs and every setting on this page are stored in this browser only. No database, no monthly bill, nothing to leak — and clearing site data wipes all of it. Export before you switch machines or browsers.
