Bad lists means bad campaigns
You can have the best subject line, personalization and offer in the world but if its going to the wrong people, none of it matters
The Hidden Enemy: Outdated, Generic Lists
Most “lead databases” just sell you:
Stale contact info
Unverified email addresses
People at companies that do not fit your ICP
You end up paying $200/month for a list 5 other people are already emailing
No wonder reply rates are at 1%
So Whats the Fix?
Start at the company level , not the person
Thats what we do at Scrapeamax
We use AI + Real Time Scraping to help you build ultra specific, verified lead lists starting with the right company profiles, pulled from live databases like:
BuiltWith
Crunchbase
Google Maps (GMB)
Clutch
Latka
Store Leads
GoodFirms
Yellow Pages
Trustpilot
Better Business Bureau
What Does Smart List Building Look Like?
Step 1: Start With the Right Prompt
Tell us something like:
“Find me all solar installation companies in Florida with 4.5+ stars on GMB and over 100 reviews”
“I want Shopify stores using Recharge + Klaviyo with $1M to $10M in revenue”
“Get me SaaS startups that raised Series A in the last 6 months and are hiring SDRs”
Step 2: We Scrape That Data in Real Time
Using Scrapeamax, we pull live data from niche sources in 60 to 180 minutes, No duplicates, No outdated junk
Step 3: You Enrich with Your Favorite Tool (Clay, Smartlead, etc)
Find the right decision makers, Pull verified emails, Add LinkedIn URLs
Step 4: Double Verify Emails with MillionVerifier
To make sure you stay under 2% bounce rate for max deliverability
Step 5: Launch Outreach
Feed your list into Smartlead or Instantly and start getting replies
Why It Works:
Because your list is:
Contextual (You control the logic)
Unique (No pre bought rows)
Verified (We help validate everything)
Dynamic (Change prompt means change list)
