Here’s the truth: Most people use Clay wrong.
They rely on internal filters and generic data.
But here’s a cleaner, smarter, more scalable method using Scrapeamax + Clay + Findymail + MillionVerifier.
The Real Clay Workflow with Scrapeamax
Step 1: Start with URLs, Not Keywords
Instead of searching for companies inside Clay, start from the outside.
➡️ Use Scrapeamax to pull a list of companies from high-quality data sources:
Google Maps (GMB)
Clutch
Agency Vista
Store Leads
BuiltWith
Latka
GoodFirms
P.S. Its all unlimited.
You’re now working with real company data, not stale directories or saturated keyword filters.
Step 2: Import Those Companies into Clay
Take your list of company domains from Scrapeamax and upload it into Clay.
This reverses the flow:
Instead of searching in Clay → You bring enriched company data into Clay.
Step 3: Use Clay to Find People at Those Companies
Now inside Clay:
Use the "Find people who work at this company" feature.
Narrow by titles (Founder, Head of Marketing, CMO, VP Sales, etc.)
Set headcount, location, industry filters as needed.
This gives you people from your custom company list, not Clay’s internal dataset.
Step 4: Use Findymail to Find Verified Work Emails
Within Clay, set up enrichment using Findymail:
Paste your API key
Enable email enrichment
Let it search based on LinkedIn profile data
Boom — now you’ve got valid work emails.
Step 5: Double Verify Your Emails (Optional but Recommended)
Run your final email list through MillionVerifier.
This ensures:
<4% bounce rate
Clean sender reputation
Better inbox placement
Why This Works
You’re starting with accurate, externally scraped companies
Clay then enriches them using your data, not preset search filters
Findymail ensures high match + deliverability
MillionVerifier gives your emails an extra layer of safety
This workflow = high-quality, low-bounce, unsaturated lead lists at scale.
