Major Upgrades to Lead Generation & Scouting Infrastructure

Here at Business Boost, we are committed to providing local businesses with the most efficient, cost-effective, and high-yielding lead generation tools on the market. Over the last week, our product engineering team has shipped several major upgrades to our core Reverse Lead Gen engine and database layer. These improvements make the platform faster, more reliable, and significantly more affordable to run at scale.

1. Balanced Subscription Limits

To ensure system stability and support businesses of all sizes, we have established structured monthly lead limits across our tiers:

Basic/Free Plan: Up to 20 leads/month. Perfect for testing the waters and setting up your first automated website.
Pro Plan ($39/mo): Up to 200 leads/month. The sweet spot for active growth, complete with custom domain hosting, advanced CRM access, and multi-channel outreach.
Enterprise Plan ($99/mo): Up to 1,000 leads/month soft cap. Tailored for agencies and multi-location franchises.

2. Dynamic $19.95 Pro Add-Ons

If you're on the Pro plan and exceed your 200-lead limit before your billing cycle resets, you no longer have to wait or pay for a full plan upgrade. We've introduced a one-click Stripe payment portal that lets Pro users instantly purchase an additional 200 leads for just $19.95. These credits stack on top of your current period limits, ensuring you never miss a hot prospect.

3. Search Grounding Batching & Optimization

Behind the scenes, we've rewritten how our scouts search communities (such as Facebook, Nextdoor, LinkedIn, and Skool). By grouping scouts by target domain, we now execute **batched Search Grounding queries**. This eliminates duplicate Google Cloud Grounding API calls, reducing our background infrastructure costs by over 70% while keeping search performance blisteringly fast.

4. 4-Hour Scouting Loop Interval

To strike the perfect balance between data freshness and API overhead, our background scouting cycle has been optimized to run every 4 hours. This keeps your lead notifications fresh while protecting system resources.

5. Inbox Interface Enhancements

With our new grouped inbox UI, you can easily filter leads by platform. If you temporarily pause a platform's scout, the UI now automatically fades, blurs, and locks the corresponding lead panel to keep your screen tidy without deleting your historical data.

6. Platform Cleanup

Lastly, we've completely removed the broken X (Twitter) DM polling loop which was causing auth failures, ensuring your system runs error-free. We also ran a full database sweeping script that pruned all obsolete or dead links from inboxes across the platform.

These upgrades are live today! Log into your portal, configure your scouts, and watch the leads roll in.
