How to Use Clay to Build Hyper-Targeted Lead Lists

How to Use Clay to Build Hyper-Targeted Lead Lists

Tired of scraping the same stale leads from Apollo?

We get it. Every agency and SDR team is hitting the same 10K contacts over and over — inaccurate job titles, outdated emails, inflated intent signals. It’s noisy, saturated, and a time-suck.

That’s why we built Scrapeamax.

Scrapeamax scrapes fresh, untapped company data from places like:

  • Google My Business

  • Clutch

  • BuiltWith

  • Store Leads

  • Latka

  • GoodFirms

  • Agency Vista

With unlimited scraping, you can build targeted company lists by:

  • Niche (e.g., Shopify brands, SaaS, local service businesses)

  • Tech stack (e.g., Webflow, Stripe, React)

  • Revenue & funding

  • Industry or business type

Here’s the New Workflow (No Apollo Required):

🔹 Step 1: Scrape Companies Using Scrapeamax

  • Use filters by platform, niche, tech stack, or location

  • Export a clean CSV of company name + website URL

🔹 Step 2: Upload to Clay & Auto-Enrich

  • In Clay, upload the company list you got from Scrapeamax

  • Use the "Find people at these companies" feature

  • Under "More Options" near the enrichment column, check “Use Website for Matching”

  • Clay will auto-map based on domains, not just company names (way more accurate)

You’ll instantly get:

  • First Name / Last Name

  • Job Title

  • LinkedIn URL

  • Company Info (location, size, industry)

🔹 Step 3: Get Verified Emails

  • Use Findymail, Hunter, Dropcontact, or the Clay Waterfall Enrichment function

  • If using Clay’s waterfall, plug in your own email tool API keys for better accuracy

  • Optional: Run validation using MillionVerifier or ZeroBounce to reduce bounces

🔹 Step 4: Personalize & Build Icebreakers

Clay lets you:

  • Add job-specific tags

  • Pull recent posts or company updates

  • Auto-generate first lines & custom intros

No more sending generic emails to the wrong people.
