Build a local electrician/contractor list

| Column | What to put there | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| A | Company | Row anchor |
| B | Area | Local context |
| C | Website / reviews notes | Grounds signals |
| D | Criteria / offer | Makes output specific |
| E | Contractor profile | Service focus and size |
| F | Fit + signal score | Sort the list |
| G | Web/ad gap note | Outreach angle |
| H | Personalized message + QA | Action + control |
Score by service area, size, reviews, and web/ad signals
- Start with 10 representative rows.
- Keep raw fields unchanged in A–D.
- Run profile and score formulas, inspect weak rows.
- Use the gap note to ground outreach.
