Simple Mass Downloader is a Chrome extension that scans the current page, open tabs, or a pasted URL list, applies those filters, lets me preview images, and then saves separate files, one ZIP, or a chosen folder. I start with the file type so PDFs and images do not mix, then tighten the list with an extension or a URL pattern when a site uses predictable paths. Link text is the last pass, useful when the same page mixes real downloads with ordinary navigation.

Failed downloads retry up to three times with completion checks, so a dropped connection does not leave a half-saved file I have to hunt for later. The free plan gives 300 download credits with no account, which is enough to test the stack on a real research session. It does not bypass DRM, logins, or paywalls. If a file sits behind a login, I still open that page myself and only queue what the browser can already see.

The workflow was simple. I used a clear side photo, picked one move, and waited for a short clip. Three lengths showed up in the tool:

• ramp flight, roughly 15 seconds
• side-view kickflip, roughly 6 seconds
• head-on kickflip, roughly 8 seconds

The result is a stylized video, not a real driving test. I would not treat it as footage of a brand or of a car I do not own. The project I used is called Flying Car AI, and the page that explains the three moves is here: https://www.flyingcar.art/en

What I would do differently next time is start with a higher-resolution side photo and keep the background uncluttered. The clip is only useful as a creative preview.

1. Define the search

Pick a category and location in Google Maps, for example "dentists in Austin". Narrow searches give cleaner results than broad ones.

2. Collect the listings

Use GMaps Scraper, a Chrome extension, to pull the visible listings into a table: name, category, address, phone, website, ratings and Place ID. Auto-pagination loads more results, and duplicates are removed for you. Export to CSV or XLSX.

3. Clean the sheet

• Deduplicate by Place ID or website domain.
• Remove closed businesses and rows without a website.
• Keep the rating and review count; they are useful signals.

4. Add audit columns

Add columns for the checks you care about: does the site load over HTTPS, is it mobile friendly, is the phone number on the page, is the Google profile complete, how many reviews and how recent.

5. Prioritize

Sort by low ratings, few reviews or missing websites. These businesses usually have the clearest local SEO gaps, so they make the most relevant prospects.

6. Review before outreach

Spot-check a sample by hand and follow the anti-spam rules where you operate.

A short, focused list with a few useful audit columns beats a huge unfiltered export every time.
