Cross-promotion partners around a client’s shop
Businesses around a client's shop that share its customers, each with a partnership message.
What it does
Every month: the best-rated businesses within 1 km of a client’s shop that share its customers (here juice bars, yoga studios and sports shops around a gym), sorted by xMap AI into strong and weak fits, each with a partnership message, saved to a sheet and emailed.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, find juice shops, yoga studios and 2 more within 1 km of a point, clean up their categories, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
The best partners for a joint offer are next door. This flow finds well-rated neighbours that serve the same people, sorts them by fit and writes the first message.
Who it is for
Marketing & agencies. Agencies and marketing teams looking for clients, targeting areas and watching reputations. Every use case for marketing & agencies
Best use cases
- An agency running local campaigns for a gym
- A coffee shop looking for joint offers

- An email of the month's partners
The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 90 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
