Get started

Pick a vertical (one!)

Agencies that target everyone close no one. Pick one industry (dentists, e-commerce, SaaS). Specialise messaging.

Build the list

Maps for local-business clients OR LinkedIn for B2B. Filter by tech stack if relevant (e.g. "Shopify stores doing $1-10M GMV").

Tier the leads

Use Maps review count + LinkedIn employee count as proxies for budget. Top tier gets manual research; mid tier gets AI personalisation; low tier gets mass mail-merge.
