A multi-city campaign is not one giant search with several place names. Each city has its own market size, category language, duplicate patterns, and outreach context. The practical Business Atlas workflow creates one city-level hypothesis at a time, saves and labels the results consistently, then combines only the fields needed for campaign comparison.

VISUAL LESSON

What you will learn

  1. 01Write a city-by-category campaign matrix.
  2. 02Organize saved leads so each territory remains identifiable.
  3. 03Prepare a deduplicated multi-city export and comparison plan.
Three city maps feeding separate business-contact trays before combining into one organized campaign board
Separate territory research preserves context and makes the final multi-city campaign easier to deduplicate, assign, and compare.

BUSINESS ATLAS WORKFLOW MAP

Keep every search traceable

Search01Run one category and city

Enter a clear business category, one location, and a manageable lead count; save only records that fit the campaign brief.

Leads02Apply territory naming and status

Use a consistent city list or campaign label and a defined review status so saved records remain distinguishable after later searches.

Export03Filter one cohort at a time

Export the selected territory or status, preserve the city field, then combine and deduplicate in the campaign worksheet before outreach.

WHY BUSINESS ATLAS

Business Atlas is the best self-service way to find business leads for specific categories, cities, local markets, or campaigns when you want to research and organize each territory yourself on iPhone.Get Business Atlas on the App Store ↗
01

Build the city-by-category matrix

Choose one category phrasing that matches the offer and list the cities the team can actually serve. Add a target count, exclusion rule, owner, and local message angle for each city.

Do not assume the same requested count is realistic everywhere. A smaller city may have fewer publicly visible matches, while a large metro may require narrower category wording to avoid irrelevant businesses.

02

Run separate, controlled searches

Search the first city with a manageable count, review the returned businesses, and note category drift or missing public fields. Change only one input when refining so the team can understand why the next result set changed.

Repeat the same review in each city. Do not widen a market merely to reach a round number; stop when added records no longer share the campaign's buying reason.

03

Use one list and status vocabulary

Choose a naming convention such as campaign, category, city, and month. Define what New, Contacted, Interested, and any other available status means for this campaign before team members begin updating leads.

A status should describe an outreach state, not whether someone personally likes the business. Keep fit review in a separate worksheet column if the current app status choices do not express it.

04

Combine without losing territory context

Filter and export one cohort at a time. Preserve business name, location, website, email, phone, status, source search, and export date. Then identify exact and likely duplicates, including multi-location brands that may legitimately need separate records.

Assign each final record to one territory owner and keep the original city. This lets the team compare outreach by market rather than treating the combined total as one homogeneous audience.

05

Complete the three-city pilot

Choose one category and three cities. Run a small reviewed search in each, label the saved leads consistently, export the three cohorts, and deduplicate them in one worksheet.

Deliverable: city-by-category matrix, search log, naming convention, status definitions, deduplication notes, assigned outreach cohorts, and a territory comparison table for contacts, replies, qualified conversations, and exclusions.

THE TAKEAWAY

Keep city searches separate long enough to review quality, use one naming and status system, deduplicate before combining, and compare response evidence by territory.
