The chimney sweeps in your area, and the right time to call.
Oxpium builds the list of chimney sweeps in your area, finds how to reach each one, tells you when one is hiring or adds a service, and runs the campaign off-season.

Every chimney sweep in your area, even the one-truck shops.
Describe the target the way you'd tell a colleague: a few states, a rating, the services they offer. The agent searches business listings, public sources and professional databases, reads the websites when there is one, removes the duplicates, and hands you a list with each sweep's rating, reviews, phone and services.

112 well-rated sweeps, sorted by number of reviews.
An area
A state, a few counties or a radius around a town: the agent covers the whole area, small towns included, and keeps each sweep once.
Services
Sweeping only, relining, masonry repair, dryer vents, gas fireplace service: the agent reads the website and listing to see what each one does.
A rating and reviews
A minimum rating and number of reviews, like 4.7+ with at least 50 reviews across New England, to target the sweeps with a real following.
A size
The owner-operator or the company with four trucks: headcount from professional databases, combined with the area in the same sentence.
The right number, and what each sweep really does.
Plenty of sweeps run on a cell phone and a listing. That's enough: the agent finds the email when there is one and the owner's name, and reads what each sweep offers. It fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row, and verifies every email before adding it.

The website email
The agent reads each sweep's website, finds the email published there, often the one for booking requests, and verifies it before adding it.
The owner
Their name, with their email and cell when there is one. At an owner-operator, the number on the listing is often already their cell.
Services
Relining, masonry repair, dryer vents, caps, gas fireplace service, stove installs: one column per service, filled in by reading the website.
Booking and prices
Online booking or phone only, a sweep price published or not: what you need to know about each business before you pick up the phone.
Automations that tell you which sweep is growing.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a new sweep in your area, a technician opening, a shop that starts relining. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

New businesses
Every Monday, an automation adds the chimney sweeps that just appeared in business listings in your area to the top of the list, with a badge.
Hiring
Every morning, another flags the sweeps posting a technician or apprentice opening, the sign that they're adding a second or third truck.
A new service
Every month, the agent rereads the websites and flags the sweeps that now advertise relining, masonry repair, dryer vents or stove installs.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like reviews saying there's no opening before winter: the agent reruns it and tells you who's swamped.
A campaign that runs off-season, at lunchtime.
Email from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and an agent step that tailors every follow-up. Sweeps spend the day on roofs and in basements: the campaign calls between jobs, and stops as soon as they reply.
Call at lunchtime
Over lunch
Calls go out Tuesday to Friday, noon to 1:30 pm: the one time of day a sweep isn't on a roof or halfway up a flue.
Spring, not October
From September to December, sweeps run back-to-back before the heating season. They listen from April to June, when they buy for next year.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the summary is in front of you before the next one.
Stops on reply
As soon as a sweep replies, by email or on the phone, the campaign stops for them and the next follow-up never goes out. You take it from there.
Frequently asked questions
Write “chimney sweeps in Pennsylvania rated 4.5 and above”. The agent searches business listings, public sources and professional databases, reads the websites when there is one, removes duplicates and closed businesses, and hands you the list with each sweep's rating, reviews, phone and services.
The number on the listing is often the owner's cell: it's the right number. Ask for the owner and their email too: the agent finds them when they exist and verifies every email. Call over lunch, the one time they're not on a roof.
Tell the agent once: “every month, reread my sweeps' websites and flag the ones that now advertise relining”. The automation compares with the month before, and the ones that just added it land at the top of your list with a “This month” badge.
A short call over lunch, an email right after to leave a trace, a second call three days later, a last message. Emails go out from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, recorded, transcribed and summarized, and it all stops as soon as a sweep replies.
For 300 sweeps with their website read where there is one, around 180 emails and 120 cell phones, count about €35 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,500 to €2,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
April to June. Most homeowners book a sweep in the fall, right before the heating season, and from September to December sweeps don't pick up for anyone but customers. In spring the rush is over: they look back at the season and buy what they'll need for the next one.
