Discover companies in a town or region, generate AI-written cold emails, and launch your first geo-targeted outreach campaign.

Outreach (Businesses) lets you find and email small-to-medium businesses in any town, region, or country, without needing a CSV or external data tool.

AutoEmails uses Google Maps and proprietary enrichment to find companies that match your sector and location, then writes a tailored cold email for each one.

How do I find leads?

Go to Discovery → Businesses, choose your sectors and locations, and run a scan. Leads land in your Leads database with full enrichment (name, website, phone, email where available).

How many leads can I find per scan?

Up to 50 per scan on the Free plan, scaling to thousands per scan on higher plans. You can also run multiple scans per day or schedule them via Autopilot.

Are the email addresses verified?

Yes — every email goes through real-time verification before sending. Catch-all and risky addresses are flagged so you control whether to send.

## About AutoEmails

AutoEmails is an AI email marketing platform built around Leo, an autonomous AI email marketing agent. Leo analyses your business, finds the right audience, writes and designs emails, launches campaigns and reports on replies, meetings, orders and revenue.

The platform covers three engines in one account: Outreach, which finds new companies or decision makers and emails them with personalised plain-text messages and follow-ups; Marketing, which sends designed HTML newsletters and campaigns to your own contacts; and Automations, which run triggered email journeys such as welcome series, abandoned cart recovery and re-engagement.

Leo works autonomously within guardrails. It can suggest and launch campaigns, resend to non-openers, expand targeting when a lead scan falls short and pause sending when deliverability signals such as bounce or spam-complaint rates rise. Every action is logged with an evidence trail so you can see what Leo did and why.

AutoEmails connects to Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Calendly, Google Analytics, Google Search Console and custom e-commerce stores, so campaigns can be measured on real outcomes: replies and booked meetings for lead generation, and orders and revenue for e-commerce.

Pricing is capacity-based in British pounds, starting with a free plan. You can start free at autoemails.com without a credit card, let Leo scan your business and review the first campaign before anything is sent.
