What is Places?

Places is CallProof's prospecting tool. It finds businesses near your current location or a chosen address using Google Maps data.

Use it to discover new leads, view business details, save them as CallProof accounts, add them to a route, or start an appointment while you're in the field.

Allow location access for better results. CallProof uses location to show nearby places and map results; it is not stored as map browsing history.

Using Places

  • Open the Places tab.
  • Use Search or Filters (category, address/zip, radius, and more).
  • Review results in the list, or open the map to see them on Google Maps.
  • Tap a place for options: call, appointment, add to route, add to CallProof, and more.
  • On the map, use Lasso to select several places at once and add them to contacts or a route.

Places Features (More Detail)

1. Search

Search by business name or keyword. Matches show nearby (or in your filtered area). Clear the search to reset.

2. Filters

Narrow results with:

  • Category — business type (e.g. restaurants, offices)
  • Keyword — extra search text
  • City / State / Zip / Address — where to search
  • Radius — how far to search (miles)
  • Max results — how many places to show
  • Employee size / Annual sales — size filters when available

Apply filters to refresh the list. Clear the filter or clear all to reset.

3. Results List

Shows matching places with name, address, and related info. Pull to refresh. Tap a row for more actions.

4. Map

Opens Places Map with pins for results. Move around, centre on yourself, and tap pins for details.

5. Lasso (on Map)

Draw around an area to select many places. Select all in that area, then:

  • Add to Contacts — save as CallProof accounts
  • Add to Route — add them as route stops

6. Add to CallProof (Contacts)

Save a business as an account so you can track calls, visits, notes, and follow-ups.

7. Add to Route

Add one or more places to your current route for planned visits.

8. Call

Call the place from the app when a phone number is available (including Twilio if enabled).

9. Appointment

Start an appointment/check-in at that place. If one is already active, you'll be asked to end it first.

10. More Options

Extra actions such as adding to CallProof, event forms, directions, and other contact-style options when the place is linked.

11. Saved Searches

Save filter/search settings and reuse them later on mobile or web.

12. Refresh/Load More

Pull to refresh. Load more pages when available to see additional results.
