You need to look up a business, save places with notes or navigate between destinations. Those are useful parts of prospecting, especially when your list is small.
BUYER GUIDE
Ruvio vs Google Maps
Google Maps can help you discover businesses, save places and get directions. When those saved places become a weekly sales workload, Ruvio gives you a place to review prospects together and keep track of the next step.

Choose Ruvio when
You need to build and keep working a local trade list: review batches, select the fits together, prepare day routes and keep sales notes with the account.
What both can help with
Google Maps already has saved lists and notes. Ruvio’s value is organizing the ongoing prospecting work around businesses, not claiming that Maps cannot save them.
STARTING POINT
Choose for the way you work your territory.
Keep using Maps for directions. Compare how much work it takes to turn discoveries into an organized list of accounts you can call, visit and follow up with next week.
Compare the work you need to get done

Move from saved places to a weekly prospect list
Find businesses in the towns you cover, inspect the available company details and save the fits as a group. Pick a smaller set to call or visit today. Record what happened and what you promised next, so your next session starts with the account rather than another search.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Will it help you build and work your list?
Answers about prospecting, preparing visits and choosing what to pay for.
Can’t I just use Google Maps lists?
Yes. Maps lists and notes may be enough for a small set of places. Try Ruvio when reviewing businesses together and maintaining an ongoing sales list would reduce the manual work in your current process.
Can I prepare a territory of 50 or 100 businesses?
Ruvio lets signed-in users load batches of up to 50 or 100 matching results where available, review the selection and save the fits together. Split the list into manageable call or visit groups, then keep notes and next steps with each account. A result count is not a promise of complete territory coverage.
Can I prepare my list before paying for contacts?
Start free with no card. Solo is $9/month; Plus is $29/month. Free needs no card. Solo is $9/month and Plus is $29/month for one rep. Team is $69/month for 3 seats, and Pro is $129/month for 5 seats. Research, contact unlocks and automatic routing have separate allowances. Manual planning, saved accounts, notes and follow-ups are included. Review the research ceiling before starting and contact costs before saving supported assistant prospects. Directory browsing remains available separately.
Will Ruvio find every business or the right contact at every account?
No. Coverage and available details vary by trade and location. Search your own area, inspect the records and confirm fit before outreach. A saved business is a prospect to qualify, not a guaranteed buyer, appointment or reachable decision-maker.
