Pick your metro or counties, see every storefront inside, and know which ones need what you sell before you knock.
Beside this text: the Canvas Scout iPhone app showing a map of businesses and one business’s card, with example businesses.
Your best prospects are down the street. Finding them means hours of searching Google, copying phone numbers into a spreadsheet, and driving to shops that closed last spring.
Canvas Scout does the searching. Every business in your area lands on one map, checked for what's broken and grouped into stops you can walk in an afternoon.
Search your metro or pick counties, then choose the industries you sell to. We estimate the businesses inside and show you the price before you pay. Plans include 10,000 to 300,000 businesses, and bigger areas add 10,000 at a time.
Independent storefronts in your territory, scored for what you sell. A web agency sees dead websites and thin reviews. A payment processor sees busy shops on flat-rate pricing. An insurance agent sees bars, contractors and garages.
We group businesses into pockets about five minutes apart. Pick one and the map draws a walking route through it; log each visit from your phone as you go.
One map for finding them, one list for working them, one log so nobody knocks the same door twice. Features tagged Coming soon are in development and not in the app yet.
Businesses grouped into clusters within about a mile of each other, roughly a five-minute drive, ranked by value and distance from where you start.
Every business scored 0–100 for your offer: websites, payments, inventory, insurance, booking software, cleaning, print or staffing.
Log the outcome at the door. Notes stay with the business, and your whole team sees them.
Turn industries on and off. Show only what you sell to.
A login for every rep on your plan, shared notes, pockets handed to each rep, a heads-up when a teammate was just there, and a Monday team report for the manager.
Walk a pocket on a numbered loop, or plan a driving route of up to 150 stops in the best order by real drive time, split into days. Plan a rep’s day from the office and it’s waiting on their Today screen. Every stop opens in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze.
Turn on drive tracking and the phone app logs the real miles of every drive by itself Coming soon. A drive stays yours until you mark it Business; managers see business drives only. Compare planned, driven and estimated miles on any route, and download the mileage log as a spreadsheet or PDF.
An assistant you can talk to with your hands on the wheel. It finds the businesses worth a stop, logs visits, sets follow-ups and builds routes, all by voice.
Short lessons, quizzes and practice conversations with an AI business owner, written for what you sell. Streaks and a team leaderboard keep new reps sharp between doors.
Every visit, contact, deal value and note, in one timeline per business. Download it as a spreadsheet anytime.
Work a business and it lands in Salesforce as a Lead or HubSpot as a Company, with visits and notes. Follow-ups show up in Google, Apple or Outlook calendars.
The iPhone app adds follow-up reminders and drive tracking. Get it on the App Store. Android is Coming soon; until then the full map runs in your phone’s browser.
Businesses open, close and break their websites all the time. Every night we check the websites in your territory, every month we add businesses that just got listed, and about every four months we re-check every listing. Whatever changed is waiting on your Today screen, with new reasons to knock.
Find her in two clicks. Walk in knowing her site is down and her reviews stalled at 41.
Every storefront has an owner behind the counter. Canvas Scout tells you what their business is missing before you open the door.

Built in the field
Canvas Scout started inside a Cincinnati marketing agency that sells by walking into storefronts. We needed to know which doors were worth it before we drove there. So we mapped every independent business across Greater Cincinnati, checked each one, and grouped them into pockets we could work in an afternoon.
A territory is your metro area or a set of counties, counting only the industries you sell to. Your plan includes a number of businesses, and bigger territories add 10,000 at a time for $15 a month. Every business inside is on your map.

Your metro area or any set of counties, counting only the industries you sell to. Your plan includes a number of businesses: 10,000 on Local, 30,000 on Scout, 100,000 on Crew and 300,000 on Agency. On Scout, Crew and Agency, bigger territories add 10,000 at a time for $15 a month. We estimate your count from U.S. Census data, and you see the count and the price before you pay. For example, a web agency selling to restaurants, salons, auto shops, contractors and gyms in Greater Cincinnati is about 17,600 businesses, so Scout. Greater Cincinnati with all ten industries is about 40,400, so Scout plus 2 extra blocks ($99 a month) for one rep, or Crew for a team. A single county often fits Local: Warren County, Ohio, with every industry is about 4,200.
Publicly available business listings from a commercial data provider, checked against each business's own website. We confirm a business is open, look at its site, reviews and Google profile, and score what we find. Scores are our estimate of fit, not a guarantee. Own a business and want it removed? Here's how.
We can build a map for any county in the US. Your free map starts with 50 real businesses wherever you are. Where we haven't mapped your whole area yet, a trial shows up to 1,000 businesses in the busiest part of it, and we build the rest once your first payment goes through: our team reviews every new area and emails you within 24 hours when it's ready. If we can't build your territory, you get a full refund for it.
Every business is checked when we build your map. After that, websites and security certificates are checked every night, newly listed businesses are added every month, and every listing is re-checked about every four months for closures, ratings, phone numbers and websites. Whatever changed shows up on your Today screen.
Yes. Crew includes 5 seats and Agency includes 25, and every rep gets their own login. Notes and each business's status are shared, so everyone sees who's working what and how the last visit went.
Yes. An account owner can ask from Settings, under Billing. Territory changes are made once a month, when your plan renews (on annual plans, on the same day each month). Before a change applies, we tell you the new business count and any change in price. Your notes and visits from your old territory stay with your account, on your Visits page and in your history download.
Yes. Your plan runs to the end of the period you've paid for, then stops. We keep your account data for 90 days in case you come back, then delete it. Details are in our refund policy.
