Several things:
- Website: framer.io is a fantastic tool to generate websites (we generated ours getcohesiveai.com in <2 hours)
- Sourcing: Upwork is a great choice. We also have a free google maps scraper here: https://platform.cohesiveapp.com/webscrapers/google-maps
- We also have a freemium Google Sheets extension that can automatically qualify leads and find emails (at scale, this is much cheaper than Upwork): https://workspace.google.com/u/0/marketplace/app/cohesive_ai/###-###-####
