Every cold email campaign lives or dies by one thing:

The quality of your list
You can have the best copy, killer subject lines and an inbox warm up stack from heaven but if the people you are targeting are not the right companies, you are wasting your time
And most lead gen tools still get this backward
Why Most Lead Lists Fail
Heres what the traditional cold email playbook looks like:
Login to Apollo or SalesNav
Set a few filters (Industry, Headcount, Title, Country)
Export a list of contacts
Blast cold emails
But this method has 3 fatal flaws:
You are targeting people first without knowing if the company is even a fit
The data is often outdated or overused
Everyone else is doing the same thing (saturation)
You end up reaching out to SDRs at companies that just laid off their team or marketers at agencies that do not even use the tools you sell
The Smarter Way: Start with the Company
What if instead of filtering for job titles, you started with:
Companies that use Shopify + Recharge
Agencies listed on Clutch with 50+ reviews
SaaS tools using Stripe + HubSpot
Local roofers in Texas with 100+ Google reviews
These are signals real, contextual indicators that a company is:
Actively operating
Spending money
A good ICP match
This is where Scrapeamaxs AI List Building Engine changes the game
The AI List Building Workflow
With Scrapeamax, your lead list starts with a prompt not a guess
"Give me all solar companies in California with more than 20 reviews on Trustpilot"
"Find SaaS startups that raised Seed or Series A in 2024 and are hiring marketers"
We handle the rest:
Our AI scans 11+ trusted sources:
Google Maps
Crunchbase
Trustpilot
BuiltWith
Yellow Pages
BBB
Agency Vista
Store Leads
GoodFirms
Latka
2. We scrape verified, clean company data
You plug that into Clay or Smartlead to enrich it with decision maker emails
Use MillionVerifier or ZeroBounce to validate
Done
You now have a highly targeted, personalized list based on real world context, not static filters
Real World Use Case Examples
DTC Tool, "Give me eCom brands using Klaviyo + Recharge + Shopify in the US with > $1M revenue"
SaaS Agency, "Find startups using HubSpot + Stripe with $5 to 20M funding"
Local Services, "All roofers in Houston with 100+ GMB reviews"
B2B Tech, "B2B SaaS with 10 to 50 employees hiring SDRs (pull from Crunchbase + LinkedIn jobs)"
What Makes Scrapeamax Different
Unlimited scraping (no row limits)
Start from logic, not filters
Access hidden platforms like BuiltWith, Crunchbase, Clutch, Trustpilot, etc
