Straight answers.
Does Canvas Scout show a business owner’s income or net worth?
No. We only use what a business shows in public: its Google listing, its website and how long it says it has been open. A card says “usually a high-earning owner” for kinds of practices where that tends to be true, never a figure about the person.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $35 a month for up to 10,000 businesses. For example, health practices, contractors, auto shops, law and accounting offices and real estate offices in Greater Cincinnati come to about 21,700 businesses: Scout at $69 a month for one rep, or Crew at $179 a month for a team of up to 5. You see the count and the price for your own territory before you pay.
Can I try it first?
Yes. A free account costs nothing and needs no card: your map shows 50 real businesses in your area so you can try every tool, plus about how many businesses are in your whole territory. When you want more, start a 7-day trial from the map; you’re not charged during the trial.
