Here’s the harsh truth:

Your cold email list is the real bottleneck.

The Problem Most Founders & Agencies Overlook

Most people get their data from:

  • Apollo (same database everyone scrapes)

  • ZoomInfo (outdated or overpriced)

  • LinkedIn Sales Nav (limited search logic)

So even if your offer is fire, you are sending it to:

  • The wrong company type

  • The wrong decision maker

  • Or a bloated inbox that never checks email

Cold email is not just about personalization.

It’s about precision.

Better Cold Email Starts with Better Lists

Let’s say you’re targeting:

  • Local service businesses (dentists, roofers, medspas)

  • B2B SaaS using Stripe + HubSpot

  • Agencies with 5+ team members

What if you could reverse engineer your list like this:

  • “Give me all medspas in Florida with 4.5+ star ratings on Google and over 50 reviews.”

  • “Show me SaaS companies in California using Stripe, hiring SDRs and recently raised Seed/Series A.”

  • “Find agencies listed on Clutch with 3+ case studies and under 50 employees.”

That’s what Scrapeamax lets you do.

How Scrapeamax Works Differently

Scrapeamax is not a scraping tool, its a done for you system.

You give us the logic. We return clean, enriched company data from:

  • Google Maps

  • Crunchbase

  • BuiltWith

  • Clutch

  • Store Leads

You get:

  • Company name

  • Website

  • Phone/email (if public)

  • Industry

  • Enrichment ready columns

No login limits. No APIs. No scraping headaches.
