Bulk search is running many queries at once — across multiple locations, categories, or search terms — to gather a large dataset in a single pass instead of searching one item at a time.

Building a local lead list by hand is slow because each place-and-category combination is its own lookup, and bulk search collapses that work into one run. By multiplying locations across search terms, you can cover a whole region or vertical in a single operation and get a structured list back. gtme.business is built for this: its pricing model is locations times search terms, with up to a few hundred business results per search (often ~50–250; ~500 only in the densest cases), so you can pull broad coverage quickly and export it as CSV or sync it to your own database.
