  • Endless filtering on Apollo or SalesNav

  • Guessing job titles and industries

  • Exporting outdated or saturated contact data

  • Wasting hours only to get <50% accuracy

But somethings changed

AI is making cold email list building smarter, faster and way more accurate

And Scrapeamax is now at the forefront of that shift

Heres whats broken with traditional list building:

  1. You build based on filters

  • Everyone else does the same, Saturated lists

  1. You rely on the platforms database

  • Data might be old, Or irrelevant

  1. You get people but not always the right companies

  • Its hard to reverse engineer from the company level up

What AI list building does differently:

Instead of starting with people you start with logic:

  • “Give me all accounting firms in Florida with <20 employees”

  • “Show me companies using Shopify + Recharge”

  • “Find companies that just raised Series A and are hiring SDRs”

From there, you plug this into Scrapeamax and:

  • AI finds the exact companies from sources like GMB, Crunchbase, Clutch, BuiltWith, Trustpilot and more

  • We clean, dedupe and structure the raw company data

  • Then you use Clay, Smartlead or your enrichment tool of choice to pull the right contacts at those companies

  • Finally, validate using MillionVerifier or ZeroBounce for bulletproof email deliverability

Whats possible now with Scrapeamaxs AI workflow:

  • No login limits

  • No per row pricing

  • No saturation

  • No “I have seen this list 5 times before”

Instead:

  • You feed the prompt

  • We scrape 10, 100, or 1000+ matching companies from niche data sources

  • You own a clean, enriched lead list ready for outreach

This is not just faster, its smarter

Cold email is a math game, And the better your list, the less follow up you need
