[How we handle data](https://leadraft.co/security) Questions ## The straight answers. Something else? Email [hello@leadraft.co](mailto:hello@leadraft.co). Where does the data come from? From public business listings on Google Maps, and from each business's own website, where we find the email address. Leadraft isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Google. Am I allowed to use these leads? Leadraft collects public business information for business-to-business outreach. You're responsible for using it lawfully where you and your recipients are, for example CAN-SPAM in the US, GDPR and PECR in the UK and EU, and CASL in Canada. We apply your suppression list to every export and honor removal requests from businesses. See our [Terms](https://leadraft.co/terms) and [Acceptable Use Policy](https://leadraft.co/acceptable-use). This isn't legal advice. What counts as one business credit? One unique business that's inside the area you chose and in the trade you searched for. It's charged once per account, ever: run the same area again and you aren't charged for businesses you already have. Businesses outside your area or in the wrong trade are shown free and never exported. What does “Verified” mean? The business's mail server confirmed the mailbox exists when we checked it. We check before it counts, and each verified email you take out uses one checked-email credit. What happens to catch-all emails? Some mail servers accept every address, so a check can't prove a mailbox exists. We grade those **Accept-all**: a maybe, never a yes. They're free, kept apart from Verified, and left out of exports unless you choose them. Invalid emails are never exported. Do unused credits roll over? Yes. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. Which countries does it work in? Anywhere Google Maps lists businesses. We've tested most deeply in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia. Can I cancel? Yes, anytime from billing in the app. Your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.

Comparing tools? [See how Leadraft compares](https://leadraft.co/compare). Questions ## Pricing, plainly Anything else? Write to us and a person will answer. What is a business credit? One unique business inside the area you chose and in the trade you searched for. It's charged once, ever: if the same business turns up again in a later search, it costs nothing. What is a checked-email credit? One email address that passed a live mailbox check, charged the first time you take it out of Leadraft. Accept-all (catch-all) and Invalid grades never use a checked-email credit. What isn't charged? Businesses outside your area, businesses in the wrong trade, repeats of businesses you already have, the free preview, and emails that don't pass the check. You can still see the free ones in your results. Do unused credits roll over? Yes. Unused credits roll over to the next month while your plan is active. Can I set a budget for a search? Yes. Give a search a lead goal, such as 5,000 businesses, and it stops when it gets there. You can also pause or cancel any search while it runs. What does yearly billing cost? Ten months' price for twelve months: two months free. Allowances are the same each month. Can I change or cancel my plan? Yes, any time, from the billing page in the app. Upgrades start right away. If you cancel, your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for, then moves to Free. Do you offer refunds? If something went wrong with a search or a charge, write to support@leadraft.co and a person will look at it with you. Our terms set out the refund policy in full. Which countries can I search?

A single search stops after a couple of hundred results, mostly near the middle of the area.

You choose before the search runs: inside only, inside plus a few kilometers, or everything Google returns. Anything outside your choice is shown so you can see it, but it is never charged and never exported. Do I pay again if two searches find the same business? No. A business is charged once per account, ever. Running the same area again, or overlapping searches, never charges twice. Which countries can I search? Anywhere Google Maps has listings.

Do you send an email to check an address? No. We look up the domain’s mail servers and ask the server whether the mailbox exists, then hang up before anything is sent. The business never receives a message from us. What is an accept-all (catch-all) address? Some mail servers say yes to every address, real or not, so a check can’t prove the mailbox exists. We grade those Accept-all: a maybe, never a yes. You decide whether to send to them. What does a checked-email credit pay for? One credit per verified email you take out of Leadraft. Accept-all and invalid grades never use a credit. What if a business has no email on its website? You still get the phone number, website, address and social profiles.

You can use what you export to run outreach for your clients. Reselling raw data as a product isn't allowed; see the acceptable use policy for the details. Can several people on my team use one account? Yes. Invite teammates to your organization; they share its credits, searches and exports, with admin and member roles.

[Start free](https://app.leadraft.co/sign-up)[Compare plans](https://leadraft.co/pricing) Questions ## Cold email & outbound, answered Do you send email to check an address? No. Verification is a conversation with the business's mail server that stops before any message is sent. The business never receives anything. What's your bounce rate? We don't publish one yet: it depends on your list and your sending setup, and we only publish numbers we've measured. Verified addresses had a mailbox confirmed at the time of the check. What happens to catch-all emails? They're graded Accept-all. They aren't counted as Verified and aren't exported unless you include them. If two campaigns target the same city, do I pay twice? No. A business is charged once per organization, ever. Every later search that finds it again is free. ## Start with 500 businesses, free. 50 checked emails included. No card.

Look at the in-area count, the share with a Verified email, and what was charged. Outside and wrong-trade results appear in the list but cost nothing. Apify ### Apify in this comparison Apify's per-event prices are public and fall on higher plans, and the actor is configurable. The total depends on which add-ons you switch on: places, filters, contacts, leads and verification are each billed. Use the same city and keyword in both. Add every event on the Apify run, including filters and enrichment, and divide by the number of addresses that passed verification. Compare that to one Leadraft plan. Trying both ## Three questions to answer in a trial 1. 01 ### How many businesses did each find? Same keyword, same area. Count unique businesses inside the boundary, not raw dataset items. 2. 02 ### Which emails were checked? Count addresses confirmed by the mail server. Note which emails each tool checks: all of them, or only some. 3. 03 ### What did the whole run cost? Include every event and filter, and what the same run costs again next month. Workflow fit ## What Leadraft is built for, and what it leaves out Leadraft is built for a sendable list of local businesses: every business of a trade inside the area you draw, emails found on each business's own website and checked against the mail server, charged once per business. There are no events to assemble and nothing to code. It doesn't collect review text, photos, popular times or named decision-makers, and it isn't a general scraping platform. If the goal is a local business list you can email, that is the job Leadraft does end to end, with the REST API and MCP server there when you want it in your own pipeline. Switching from Apify ## Move over in an afternoon 1. 1 ### Bring your searches Paste your keywords and locations into Leadraft: every keyword and place pair becomes its own search. Or draw the area, use a radius or upload a KML file. 2. 2 ### Look before you pay The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. Nothing is charged. 3. 3 ### Keep your pipeline Pull results through the REST API or MCP server, or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Questions ## Leadraft vs Apify: FAQ Is Leadraft cheaper than Apify for Google Maps leads? It depends on the add-ons. Apify's place price on its Business plan ($1.50 per 1,000) is low, but website contacts, filters, leads and verification are billed on top. Leadraft's plans include businesses and checked emails, and never charge twice for the same business. Does Apify verify emails? Apify's Google Maps Scraper has an email verification add-on for emails from its business-leads enrichment. It charges for valid, invalid and disposable results, not for catch-all or unknown ones. Leadraft checks the emails it finds on each business's website and grades catch-alls as Accept-all. Does Leadraft give owner or decision-maker names? No. Leadraft delivers business emails with their role and source, phone, website, address, socials, hours, rating and review count. Named decision-makers are outside what Leadraft does; it is built to reach the business through the addresses it publishes on its own website. Can I draw a polygon in both? Yes. Apify accepts GeoJSON polygons and points with a radius. Leadraft lets you draw a polygon or radius on a map, or upload a KML file, on every plan. Do unused credits carry over? In Leadraft, yes, while your plan is active. Apify's prepaid usage expires at the end of each billing cycle. Is Apify free to use from Claude? Connecting is free: Apify's MCP server (mcp.apify.com) works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and other clients, signing in with OAuth or an API token. Running actors from Claude uses your Apify account's usage, so the Free plan's $5 a month applies; at $4 per 1,000 places on Free, that's about 1,250 places without add-ons. Leadraft's MCP server also works from Claude and Cursor and uses your plan's credits, and the Free plan includes 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month. ## More comparisons [All comparisons ↗](https://leadraft.co/compare) [ ### Outscraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper)[ ### G Maps Extractor vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor)[ ### Scrap.io vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io)[ ### PhantomBuster vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-phantombuster)[ ### D7 Lead Finder vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-d7-lead-finder)[ ### Data Axle vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle)[ ### LeadsPlease vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leadsplease)[ ### Map Lead Scraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-map-lead-scraper)[ ### Leads Sniper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leads-sniper) ## Run your own market and see for yourself 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month on the free plan.

[All comparisons](https://leadraft.co/compare) Google Maps lead tools compared # Leadraft vs D7 Lead Finder: quick lists, or leads you can send to? D7 Lead Finder builds a list from one keyword and one city in a few minutes, combining data from many sources, with ad, pixel and website signals on higher plans. Leadraft finds every business in your area from Google Maps and checks each email against the live mailbox. [See pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing)[Start free](https://app.leadraft.co/sign-up) Sources reviewed November 3, 2026 The short version D7 Lead Finder prices searches, not records: 10, 30 or 100 searches a day, each returning up to 1,200 leads. Leadraft prices businesses, charged once each, with checked emails included in the plan. D7 adds signals Leadraft doesn't collect, like whether a business runs Facebook ads or uses a pixel. Its emails are checked for syntax and a working mail server, but not for the mailbox itself. Leadraft checks every mailbox, so if bounces matter to you, that is the difference to weigh. ### Leadraft - Emails checked against the live mailbox - Any area: city, county, postcode, polygon or radius - Charged once per business, ever ### D7 Lead Finder - Priced by searches per day - Up to 1,200 leads per search - Ad, pixel and website signals Side by side ## How Leadraft and D7 Lead Finder compare Scroll sideways to see both columns → | What matters | Leadraft | D7 Lead Finder | | --- | --- | --- | | Email verification[4](#source-4) | Included in every plan: 50 to 30,000 checked emails a month.

Every email arrives graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid. Invalid addresses never export, and you only pay for businesses inside your area. D7 Lead Finder ### D7 Lead Finder in this comparison D7 checks that each address is well formed and that its domain has a mail server, and screens it against blacklists. It doesn't ask the server whether the mailbox exists, so plan a separate check before you send. Run both lists through the same mailbox checker, or compare against Leadraft's grades. Add the checker's cost, and the leads lost to bounces, to D7's plan price. Trying both ## Three questions to answer in a trial 1. 01 ### How many are actually in your area? Search the same city in both and count results inside its boundary, including the nearby areas D7 adds to big-city searches. 2. 02 ### How many emails pass a mailbox check? Count addresses confirmed by the mail server, not addresses found. 3. 03 ### How many searches does your territory take? Count the cities or towns in your territory and compare with the daily search limit. Workflow fit ## Where Leadraft fits, and what it doesn't do Leadraft is built for a whole territory, not one city at a time: pick a county or draw the area, and every business of your trade inside it comes back with emails checked against the live mailbox, charged once per business. It doesn't detect Facebook ads, pixels or a site's email provider; that's a different job. If what you need is a local business list you can send to without a separate verifier, Leadraft does it on any plan, and the free plan lets you try it on your own market first. Switching from D7 Lead Finder ## Move over in an afternoon 1. 1 ### Search the territory, not a city list Pick a county or draw a polygon instead of pasting a list of towns. Results outside it are labeled and free. 2. 2 ### Set a lead goal Tell Leadraft to stop at, say, 5,000 leads so a search never overspends. 3. 3 ### Export only what will send Filter to Verified, then export to CSV or push straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. Questions ## Leadraft vs D7 Lead Finder: FAQ Does D7 Lead Finder verify emails? Partly. D7 checks syntax, known spam traps and that the domain has a mail server. It doesn't check that the mailbox exists. Leadraft checks against the live mail server and grades catch-all domains as Accept-all. Does D7 Lead Finder use Google Maps? D7 says it combines data for each business from many sources (its help pages say 120 and over 150), and it shows Google review scores alongside Yelp and Facebook. Leadraft searches Google Maps and each business's own website. Can I search a whole state? In D7, one search is one keyword in one city; Bulk Search on its Professional plan runs a list of cities. In Leadraft, pick a county, draw a polygon or upload a KML file, on any plan. Does Leadraft detect Facebook ads or pixels? No. Leadraft delivers contact data, socials, hours, rating and review count. Leadraft is built for reaching the business: checked emails, phone and website for every business in your area. ## More comparisons [All comparisons ↗](https://leadraft.co/compare) [ ### Outscraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper)[ ### Apify vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify)[ ### G Maps Extractor vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor)[ ### Scrap.io vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io)[ ### PhantomBuster vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-phantombuster)[ ### Data Axle vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle)[ ### LeadsPlease vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leadsplease)[ ### Map Lead Scraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-map-lead-scraper)[ ### Leads Sniper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leads-sniper) ## Run your own market and see for yourself 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month on the free plan.

Questions ## Leadraft vs Data Axle: FAQ Is Leadraft a business database like Data Axle? No. Leadraft doesn't sell a pre-built database. Each search finds the businesses on Google Maps in your area and trade, finds emails on their websites and checks them. Data Axle sells access to a compiled database. Does Leadraft have employee size, revenue or SIC/NAICS codes? No. Leadraft gives the Google Maps category, rating, review count, hours, website, phone, socials and checked emails. Leadraft is built around trade and place, not firmographics, so it doesn't filter by employee size, revenue or industry code. How much does Data Axle cost? Salesgenie, Data Axle's lead tool (listed on some review sites as Data Axle Genie), starts at $99 a month on Basic, with exports and emails using credits whose prices aren't published. List orders and data licensing are not published; quote-based. Prices as of November 2026. Can I get Data Axle data free through a library? Many libraries offer Data Axle's Reference Solutions to their members. Download limits and allowed uses are set by the library and Data Axle, so check the terms before using it for outreach. Does Leadraft give owner names? No. Leadraft returns business emails with their role and source, not named owners.

Every email arrives graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid. Invalid addresses never export, and you only pay for businesses inside your area. G Maps Extractor ### G Maps Extractor in this comparison Records are priced low, and there is a browser extension for one-off lists. Business emails come as found on the web, so plan to run them through a separate checker before you send. Add the cost of a separate email checker, and the leads lost to bounces, to the price per record. Then compare. Trying both ## Three questions to answer in a trial 1. 01 ### How many are actually in your area? Search the same city in both and count results inside its boundary. 2. 02 ### How many emails pass a mailbox check? Run both lists through the same verifier, or compare against Leadraft's grades. 3. 03 ### What does the clean list cost? Include the checker and the rows you had to throw away. Workflow fit ## What Leadraft is built for, and what it doesn't do Leadraft is built for the list you actually send to: every business in the area you draw, emails checked against the live mailbox before they count, and each business charged once. There's no separate checker to buy and no rows to throw away. It doesn't have a browser extension and doesn't collect review text or photos; searches run in the cloud and deliver contact data. For a local business list you can email, that's the whole job, and the free plan lets you test it on your own market.

Questions ## Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor: FAQ Why is Leadraft more expensive than G Maps Extractor at the low end? Our plans include checked emails: 1,000 on Starter up to 30,000 on Scale. G Maps Extractor's price covers records; checking business emails is up to you. At the top end, Leadraft is slightly cheaper per business ($0.25 vs $0.30 per 1,000). Does Leadraft have a Chrome extension? No. Searches run on our servers, so nothing uses your browser, IP or Google account, and you can close the tab while a search runs. Can Leadraft get reviews or photos? No. We deliver contact data, rating and review count, not review text or photos. Which countries does Leadraft cover? Searches work worldwide. We've tested coverage most deeply in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Is G Maps Extractor safe to use? Its cloud scraper runs on its own servers, while its Chrome and Edge extension runs in your browser while you're signed in to your own Google account. As with any extension, read the permissions it asks for on the store listing before installing, and test on the free tier (1,000 records a month, no card) first. Separately, Google's Maps terms restrict scraping, whatever tool you use. What do G Maps Extractor reviews say? There's little to go on. Its Trustpilot page showed a single review as of November 2026, too few to judge by. The fairest test is your own: run the free tier on your market and check how many business emails pass a mailbox check. ## More comparisons [All comparisons ↗](https://leadraft.co/compare) [ ### Outscraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper)[ ### Apify vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify)[ ### Scrap.io vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io)[ ### PhantomBuster vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-phantombuster)[ ### D7 Lead Finder vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-d7-lead-finder)[ ### Data Axle vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle)[ ### LeadsPlease vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leadsplease)[ ### Map Lead Scraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-map-lead-scraper)[ ### Leads Sniper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leads-sniper) ## Run your own market and see for yourself 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month on the free plan.

Leadraft covers the whole area and checks every email, so if bounces or full coverage matter to you, that is the difference. ### Leadraft - Runs in the cloud; close the tab and it keeps going - Emails checked against the live mailbox - Polygon, radius and KML areas; outside results free ### Map Lead Scraper - Chrome and Edge extension - 100,000 exports a month from $9.9 - Reviews, photos and claimed status Side by side ## How Leadraft and Map Lead Scraper compare Scroll sideways to see both columns → | What matters | Leadraft | Map Lead Scraper | | --- | --- | --- | | Email verification[1](#source-1) | Included in every plan: 50 to 30,000 checked emails a month.

The area is searched tile by tile, so you get more than one Maps results page. Every email arrives graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid, and Invalid addresses never export. Map Lead Scraper ### Map Lead Scraper in this comparison Map Lead Scraper collects what Google Maps shows for the search in your browser, then visits each website for emails. It works a city at a time. Plan to split big areas into small searches, and to check emails yourself before you send. Search the same keyword and city in both. Count unique businesses inside the city limits, then run the emails through the same mailbox checker. Add the checker's cost to the extension's price. Trying both ## Three questions to answer in a trial 1. 01 ### How many businesses did each find? Same keyword, same city. Count unique businesses inside the boundary, not raw rows. 2. 02 ### How many emails pass a mailbox check? Count addresses confirmed by the mail server. Treat catch-all addresses as a maybe. 3. 03 ### How many searches does your territory take? Count the cities or ZIP codes you'd search one by one, and the time each takes in the browser. Workflow fit ## Where Leadraft fits, and what it leaves out Leadraft is built for full coverage and sendable emails: it searches the whole area you choose tile by tile in the cloud, checks every email against the live mailbox, and charges once per business. It doesn't collect review text, photos or claimed status, and it isn't a browser extension. If you want every business in a territory with emails you can send to, without splitting the map into ZIP codes or running a separate checker, that's the job Leadraft does. Switching from Map Lead Scraper ## Move over in an afternoon 1. 1 ### Search the territory, not a city list Pick a county or draw a polygon instead of searching ZIP by ZIP. Results outside it are labeled and free. 2. 2 ### Close the browser Searches run on our servers, so nothing uses your browser, IP or Google account. Pause, resume or leave them running. 3. 3 ### Export only what will send Filter to Verified, then export to CSV or XLSX, or push straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. Questions ## Leadraft vs Map Lead Scraper: FAQ How much does Map Lead Scraper cost? As of November 2026, the free plan exports 1,000 leads a month, 15 per search, without emails. Pro exports 100,000 leads a month for $19.9 billed monthly, or $9.9 a month billed yearly, and adds emails and socials. Does Map Lead Scraper verify emails? Its pages say it finds emails by visiting each business's website, but they don't describe checking them. Leadraft checks every email against the live mail server and grades catch-all domains as Accept-all. Does Leadraft have a Chrome extension? No. Searches run on our servers, so nothing uses your browser, IP or Google account, and you can close the tab while a search runs. Why doesn't a search return every business in a large area? Google Maps shows a limited number of results per search, so a state-wide search misses most businesses. Map Lead Scraper suggests searching cities or ZIP codes instead. Leadraft searches the area you choose tile by tile. Can Leadraft get reviews or photos? No. We deliver contact data, rating and review count, not review text or photos. ## More comparisons [All comparisons ↗](https://leadraft.co/compare) [ ### Outscraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper)[ ### Apify vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify)[ ### G Maps Extractor vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor)[ ### Scrap.io vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io)[ ### PhantomBuster vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-phantombuster)[ ### D7 Lead Finder vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-d7-lead-finder)[ ### Data Axle vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle)[ ### LeadsPlease vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leadsplease)[ ### Leads Sniper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leads-sniper) ## Run your own market and see for yourself 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month on the free plan.

Look at the in-area count, the share with a Verified email, and what was charged. Outside and wrong-trade results appear in the list but cost nothing. Outscraper ### Outscraper in this comparison Outscraper's prices are clear per task, and its credits don't expire. The total depends on how many tasks you chain: a verified email needs a place, an enrichment and a verification. Use the same city and keyword in both. Divide what you paid by the number of addresses that passed verification. That number, not price per row, is what reaches your inbox. Trying both ## Three questions to answer in a trial 1. 01 ### How many businesses did each find? Same keyword, same city.

Questions ## Leadraft vs Outscraper: FAQ Is Leadraft cheaper than Outscraper? Per verified lead, usually yes, from about 5,000 verified emails a month up. At very small volumes Outscraper's free allowances and per-task pricing can cost less. Our pricing calculator shows both side by side. Does Leadraft have reviews and photos? No. Leadraft delivers contact data: emails with grades, phone, website, address, socials, hours, rating and review count. Review text and photos are outside what Leadraft does; it is built for sendable contact lists. What counts as a verified email? An address whose mail server confirmed the mailbox exists. Catch-all servers accept every address, so those get their own Accept-all grade instead of Verified. Can I keep using my Outscraper workflows? Yes. Leadraft exports CSV and XLSX, and pushes to the same tools through native integrations, Zapier and webhooks. There's also a REST API. ## More comparisons [All comparisons ↗](https://leadraft.co/compare) [ ### Apify vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify)[ ### G Maps Extractor vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor)[ ### Scrap.io vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io)[ ### PhantomBuster vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-phantombuster)[ ### D7 Lead Finder vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-d7-lead-finder)[ ### Data Axle vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle)[ ### LeadsPlease vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leadsplease)[ ### Map Lead Scraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-map-lead-scraper)[ ### Leads Sniper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leads-sniper) ## Run your own market and see for yourself 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month on the free plan.

Leadraft splits it into tiles and labels every result in or out of your area. Check the in-area count and how many have a Verified email. PhantomBuster ### PhantomBuster in this comparison The Phantom runs in the cloud and exports what a Google Maps search shows. For a whole city, PhantomBuster suggests many smaller searches by neighborhood, and emails come from a second Phantom that visits each website. Search the same city in both. Count unique businesses inside its boundary, then how many have an email that passed a mailbox check. Note the hours the PhantomBuster run used. Trying both ## Three questions to answer in a trial 1. 01 ### How many businesses for the whole city? Run one city-wide search in each. Then count what it takes in PhantomBuster to match the total. 2. 02 ### How many emails passed a mailbox check? Run both lists through the same verifier, or compare against Leadraft's grades. 3. 03 ### How much of the plan did it use? Note execution hours in PhantomBuster and business credits in Leadraft for the same list. Workflow fit ## What Leadraft is built for, and what it isn't Leadraft does one job: every local business in the area you choose, from Google Maps, with emails checked against the mail server. It tiles the area past the per-search cap so you don't split a city into neighborhoods, and it charges once per business with checked emails included. It doesn't automate LinkedIn or other platforms, and it doesn't send outreach. For a complete local business list you can email, that one job is what Leadraft is built to do well.

Leadraft tiles it for you and keeps only what's inside. 3. 3 ### Send it where it was going Push to HubSpot, Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist, or connect Zapier and webhooks. Your suppression list is applied. Questions ## Leadraft vs PhantomBuster: FAQ How many results does PhantomBuster's Google Maps Phantom return? What one Google Maps search shows: about 120 per search, by PhantomBuster's own note, or 140 to 200 per its tutorial. To get more you run several smaller searches. Leadraft tiles the area for you. Does PhantomBuster find emails from Google Maps? Not in the Search Export Phantom itself. Its Data Scraping Crawler Phantom, or the Google Maps Search to Contact Data Flow, visits each website for emails. Leadraft finds emails on each business's own website and checks them against the mail server. Is Leadraft cheaper than PhantomBuster? They price different things. PhantomBuster's Start plan is $69 a month for 20 hours of run time. Leadraft's Starter is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. Does Leadraft automate LinkedIn? No. Leadraft only finds local businesses from Google Maps and checks their emails. LinkedIn automation is outside what it does. ## More comparisons [All comparisons ↗](https://leadraft.co/compare) [ ### Outscraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper)[ ### Apify vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify)[ ### G Maps Extractor vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor)[ ### Scrap.io vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io)[ ### D7 Lead Finder vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-d7-lead-finder)[ ### Data Axle vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle)[ ### LeadsPlease vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leadsplease)[ ### Map Lead Scraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-map-lead-scraper)[ ### Leads Sniper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leads-sniper) ## Run your own market and see for yourself 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month on the free plan.

See how many businesses are inside, how many have a Verified email, and what it charged. Scrap.io ### Scrap.io in this comparison Scrap.io's database answers city searches instantly and covers three map platforms. Wider areas and polygons sit on the higher plans, and credits reset every month. Price the plan you'd need for your real territory, then add an email checker. Compare that to one Leadraft plan. Trying both ## Three questions to answer in a trial 1. 01 ### Can you search your real territory? Try a county, a sales region or a hand-drawn area, not just a city. 2. 02 ### How many emails are checked? Count addresses confirmed by the mail server, not addresses found. 3. 03 ### What happens next month? Check what a re-run costs and whether unused credit carries over. Workflow fit ## What Leadraft is built for, and what it doesn't do Leadraft is built for your real territory: draw a polygon, use a radius or upload a KML file on any plan, Free included, and get every business inside it with emails checked against the live mailbox. You pay once per business and credits roll over. It searches Google Maps and each business's website, not Apple Maps or Bing Maps, and it doesn't offer phone or technology filters. For a local business list fenced to the area you sell in, with checked emails included, Leadraft is the one built for it. Switching from Scrap.io ## Move over in an afternoon 1. 1 ### Draw the territory you sell in No plan upgrade needed for polygons, radius or whole regions. 2. 2 ### Set a lead goal Tell Leadraft to stop at, say, 5,000 leads so a search never overspends. 3. 3 ### Keep it fresh with monitors Repeat a search on a schedule and receive only the businesses that are new. Questions ## Leadraft vs Scrap.io: FAQ Does Leadraft cover Apple Maps or Bing Maps? No. Leadraft searches Google Maps and each business's own website. It is built around Google Maps, where it tiles your whole area and checks every email. Can I draw a polygon on the free plan? Yes. Polygons, radius search and KML uploads are on every plan, Free included. Do I pay again if I re-run a search next month? Not for businesses you already have. Leadraft charges once per business, ever. Only new businesses use credits. Do unused credits carry over? Yes, unused credits roll over while your plan is active. ## More comparisons [All comparisons ↗](https://leadraft.co/compare) [ ### Outscraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper)[ ### Apify vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify)[ ### G Maps Extractor vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor)[ ### PhantomBuster vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-phantombuster)[ ### D7 Lead Finder vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-d7-lead-finder)[ ### Data Axle vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle)[ ### LeadsPlease vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leadsplease)[ ### Map Lead Scraper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-map-lead-scraper)[ ### Leads Sniper vs Leadraft ](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-leads-sniper) ## Run your own market and see for yourself 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month on the free plan.

Accounting is three trades sharing one category. The Census Bureau counts about 137,000 accounting establishments with paid employees: about 55,000 CPA offices, 29,000 tax preparation offices and 48,000 bookkeeping and other accounting services, plus a small number of payroll firms. Add the self-employed and the count jumps: about 102,500 tax preparers and 254,000 bookkeepers and other accounting services have no employees at all. CPA firms are licensed, do audits and advisory work, and buy software, staffing and marketing like any professional firm. Tax preparers are seasonal and price-sensitive, from franchise offices to one-person storefronts. Bookkeepers are often solo and work remotely for small businesses. A good list keeps the three apart. ## How many accountants are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 137,069 establishments in **Accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll services (NAICS 54121)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 18,655 | 13.6% | | 2 | Florida | 12,917 | 9.4% | | 3 | Texas | 11,224 | 8.2% | | 4 | New York | 9,056 | 6.6% | | 5 | Illinois | 5,146 | 3.8% | | 6 | Georgia | 4,638 | 3.4% | | 7 | Pennsylvania | 4,111 | 3.0% | | 8 | North Carolina | 3,809 | 2.8% | | 9 | New Jersey | 3,754 | 2.7% | | 10 | Ohio | 3,750 | 2.7% | | 11 | Colorado | 3,735 | 2.7% | | 12 | Michigan | 3,472 | 2.5% | | 13 | Washington | 3,377 | 2.5% | | 14 | Arizona | 3,223 | 2.4% | | 15 | Virginia | 3,037 | 2.2% | | 16 | Massachusetts | 2,555 | 1.9% | | 17 | Maryland | 2,476 | 1.8% | | 18 | Missouri | 2,333 | 1.7% | | 19 | Oregon | 2,134 | 1.6% | | 20 | Minnesota | 2,094 | 1.5% | | 21 | Indiana | 2,092 | 1.5% | | 22 | Tennessee | 1,933 | 1.4% | | 23 | Louisiana | 1,926 | 1.4% | | 24 | Wisconsin | 1,855 | 1.4% | | 25 | Oklahoma | 1,850 | 1.3% | | 26 | South Carolina | 1,811 | 1.3% | | 27 | Utah | 1,736 | 1.3% | | 28 | Alabama | 1,590 | 1.2% | | 29 | Nevada | 1,416 | 1.0% | | 30 | Kentucky | 1,393 | 1.0% | | 31 | Connecticut | 1,308 | 1.0% | | 32 | Kansas | 1,192 | 0.9% | | 33 | Arkansas | 1,150 | 0.8% | | 34 | Iowa | 1,135 | 0.8% | | 35 | Idaho | 1,101 | 0.8% | | 36 | Mississippi | 801 | 0.6% | | 37 | Nebraska | 782 | 0.6% | | 38 | New Mexico | 762 | 0.6% | | 39 | Montana | 736 | 0.5% | | 40 | Hawaii | 691 | 0.5% | | 41 | Maine | 567 | 0.4% | | 42 | New Hampshire | 542 | 0.4% | | 43 | West Virginia | 484 | 0.4% | | 44 | Rhode Island | 444 | 0.3% | | 45 | Alaska | 389 | 0.3% | | 46 | Delaware | 386 | 0.3% | | 47 | Wyoming | 369 | 0.3% | | 48 | South Dakota | 343 | 0.3% | | 49 | North Dakota | 303 | 0.2% | | 50 | Vermont | 284 | 0.2% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 202 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a accountant lead list Every row is one accountant business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for accountants: | Field | Why it matters for accountants | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | "Certified public accountant", "Tax preparation service" and "Bookkeeping service" are separate Maps categories. They're the cleanest way to split CPAs from seasonal preparers and bookkeepers, who buy very different things. | | **business** | Franchise tax offices (H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, Liberty Tax) carry the brand in the name. Filter them out if you sell to independents; the franchisor decides most of their software and marketing. | | **email, grade, role and source** | CPA firms publish info@ or office@ plus partner addresses on team pages; solo bookkeepers often publish one personal address. Up to 5 emails per firm with role and source let you write to a partner rather than the client-intake inbox. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **hours** | Seasonal tax offices often list hours only from January to April, or show as temporarily closed in summer. Hours tell you which rows are year-round firms and which are seasonal storefronts. | | **website and website\_platform** | Many small firms run a template site from a firm-website provider or a simple builder. A firm without its own site, or with a one-page site, is a web design and SEO prospect. | | **rating and reviews** | Tax preparers collect consumer reviews in volume; CPA firms serving businesses often have few. Review count helps separate consumer tax shops from B2B practices. | | **linkedin** | CPA firms with a LinkedIn page usually have several staff and some marketing. It's a quick size signal in a trade where Maps can't show headcount. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every accountant No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** accountant, accounting firm, cpa, certified public accountant, cpa firm, tax preparation service, tax preparer, tax services, income tax service, tax accountant, small business accountant, bookkeeping service, bookkeeper, payroll service, tax consultant, tax advisor, enrolled agent, irs tax resolution, business tax preparation, audit firm, forensic accountant, quickbooks bookkeeper, h&r block, jackson hewitt, liberty tax. **Google Maps categories:** Accountant, Accounting firm, Certified public accountant, Tax preparation service, Tax preparation, Tax consultant, Bookkeeping service, Payroll service. Leadraft includes these in its [Legal & financial keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#legal-financial) (68 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to accountants, and what works - **Accounting and tax software, practice management and client portals.** Sell to CPA firms and year-round bookkeepers, not seasonal storefronts. Lead with what the tool saves during busy season, and make the trial start after April 15. - **Offshore and outsourced accounting staff.** Firms struggle to hire. Pitch CPA firms with capacity for overflow returns or bookkeeping. Be specific about security, time zones and review workflow. - **Firm acquirers and private equity platforms.** Larger firms and private equity platforms acquire smaller practices, often when a founding partner nears retirement. Owner-led small and mid-size firms are the target. Write a short, discreet note to a partner, not a general inbox. - **Marketing agencies, web designers and SEO.** Firms want better clients, not more clients. Lead with niche positioning ("CPA for dentists in Ohio") and a site that explains it. - **Banks, payroll providers, insurance agencies and financial advisors.** Accountants are referral hubs for small businesses. Offer a referral relationship with something useful for their clients, not a product pitch. ## How to segment and qualify a accountant list ### CPA firms, tax preparers and bookkeepers Run one search line per type and keep the category column. CPA firms are licensed, year-round and more likely to buy software and staffing. Tax preparers are seasonal. Bookkeepers are often solo and remote. Write three different emails. ### Independent vs franchise tax offices Filter the business name for franchise brands. Franchise offices follow the franchisor's tools; independents decide for themselves. ### Business-focused vs consumer-focused Consumer tax shops have many reviews and storefront hours. Business-focused firms have fewer reviews, a LinkedIn page and service pages about payroll, audits or advisory. Use reviews and socials together to sort them. ### Firms with weak websites Filter for no website or a site on a basic builder. That's the web design and SEO list. Firms with a client portal link are usually more established. ### New firms and new offices Accountants leave firms to start their own practices, often in the summer after busy season. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends only newly listed firms, who are buying software and marketing for the first time. ## How to reach accountants ### Never pitch during busy season From January to April 15, most firms work long days on returns and ignore vendors. The October 15 extension deadline is a second crunch, and many firms also have a business-return deadline in mid-March. The best windows are late April to August and November to early December, when firms plan software and staffing for next season. ### Know which kind of accountant you're writing to Only licensed CPAs can sign audits; enrolled agents and tax preparers do returns; bookkeepers keep the books. Calling a bookkeeper a CPA, or pitching audit software to a tax shop, ends the conversation. Read the category and the business name first. ### Lead with security and data handling Tax preparers must protect client data under IRS and FTC rules, including a written information security plan. If your product touches client data, say how it's stored and secured in the first email. It's the first question they'll ask. ### Keep it B2B and CAN-SPAM clean Accounting firms are businesses, and B2B email in the US is allowed under CAN-SPAM with a truthful subject, a postal address and a working opt-out. Many solo bookkeepers use personal names in their addresses, so honor opt-outs fast. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your own program. ## How to find accountant leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Accountants lead lists: questions How many accountants and CPA firms are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 137,000 accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll establishments with paid employees (NAICS 54121), including about 55,100 CPA offices. Nonemployer Statistics adds about 102,500 tax preparers and 254,000 bookkeeping and other accounting businesses with no staff. BLS counts about 1.6 million accountant and auditor jobs in 2025, many of them inside companies rather than firms. Can I get a CPA email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include firms just outside it. You can limit the search to CPA firms, tax preparers or bookkeepers. Can I separate CPAs from tax preparers and bookkeepers? Yes, mostly. Search with type-specific terms and use the category and categories columns from each firm's Google Maps listing. Some firms list several categories; check the business name and website for the rest. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the firm's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. How much does an accountant email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per firm, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a statewide search finds 8,000 CPA firms, tax preparers and bookkeepers and you export 3,000 verified emails, that's 8,000 business credits and 3,000 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49. When is the best time to email accountants? Between late April and August, and in November and early December. Avoid January to April 15, the weeks before the October 15 extension deadline, and the last days of each month for bookkeepers closing client books. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 54121, 541211, 541213, 541219)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Establishments with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2023 Nonemployer Statistics (US file, NAICS 541213, 541219)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/nonemployer-statistics/datasets/2023/historical-datasets/nonemp23us.zip) 3. 3.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Accountants and Auditors](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/business-and-financial/accountants-and-auditors.htm) 4. 4.[IRS, Publication 5708: Creating a Written Information Security Plan for your Tax & Accounting Practice](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5708.pdf) 5. 5.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## See the accountants in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Appliance repair is a trade of small, owner-run shops and one-van technicians. The Census Bureau counted 5,593 appliance repair and maintenance establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 811412), and at least 88% had fewer than 10 staff. Many technicians work alone with no payroll and aren't in that count. California (827) and Florida (732) lead by a wide margin, then Texas (401), New York (311), Georgia (207), North Carolina (205) and Illinois (188). Work comes from homeowners, landlords and property managers, home warranty companies that dispatch jobs, and manufacturer warranty programs for authorized servicers. Commercial kitchen and laundry equipment service is a separate, more technical niche. The owner buys parts, tools and software, and usually answers the phone. ## How many appliance repair companies are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 5,593 establishments in **Appliance repair and maintenance (NAICS 811412)** across 50 states (one withheld) in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 827 | 14.8% | | 2 | Florida | 732 | 13.1% | | 3 | Texas | 401 | 7.2% | | 4 | New York | 311 | 5.6% | | 5 | Georgia | 207 | 3.7% | | 6 | North Carolina | 205 | 3.7% | | 7 | Illinois | 188 | 3.4% | | 8 | Virginia | 188 | 3.4% | | 9 | Michigan | 155 | 2.8% | | 10 | Colorado | 143 | 2.6% | | 11 | New Jersey | 141 | 2.5% | | 12 | Pennsylvania | 133 | 2.4% | | 13 | Arizona | 125 | 2.2% | | 14 | Ohio | 116 | 2.1% | | 15 | Tennessee | 98 | 1.8% | | 16 | Missouri | 93 | 1.7% | | 17 | Massachusetts | 91 | 1.6% | | 18 | South Carolina | 91 | 1.6% | | 19 | Indiana | 88 | 1.6% | | 20 | Washington | 87 | 1.6% | | 21 | Utah | 83 | 1.5% | | 22 | Minnesota | 77 | 1.4% | | 23 | Maryland | 76 | 1.4% | | 24 | Wisconsin | 72 | 1.3% | | 25 | Alabama | 69 | 1.2% | | 26 | Nevada | 65 | 1.2% | | 27 | Oregon | 61 | 1.1% | | 28 | Louisiana | 53 | 0.9% | | 29 | Kentucky | 49 | 0.9% | | 30 | Oklahoma | 49 | 0.9% | | 31 | Arkansas | 44 | 0.8% | | 32 | Connecticut | 43 | 0.8% | | 33 | Kansas | 43 | 0.8% | | 34 | Idaho | 40 | 0.7% | | 35 | Iowa | 36 | 0.6% | | 36 | Nebraska | 36 | 0.6% | | 37 | Mississippi | 32 | 0.6% | | 38 | Montana | 29 | 0.5% | | 39 | Hawaii | 27 | 0.5% | | 40 | New Mexico | 26 | 0.5% | | 41 | New Hampshire | 23 | 0.4% | | 42 | Rhode Island | 22 | 0.4% | | 43 | West Virginia | 20 | 0.4% | | 44 | Alaska | 19 | 0.3% | | 45 | Delaware | 16 | 0.3% | | 46 | Maine | 16 | 0.3% | | 47 | Wyoming | 14 | 0.3% | | 48 | North Dakota | 12 | 0.2% | | 49 | South Dakota | 11 | 0.2% | | 50 | Vermont | 10 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a appliance repair company lead list Every row is one appliance repair company business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for appliance repair companies: | Field | Why it matters for appliance repair companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Appliance repair service is broad; Refrigerator repair service and Washer & dryer repair service mark specialists. Appliance store and Used appliance store rows sell as well as repair, and buy inventory. | | **website** | The site lists the brands they service and whether they're factory-authorized. That's the key segment for parts distributors and manufacturers recruiting servicers. | | **email + grade** | Small shops often publish one address, sometimes a free provider. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so it's a maybe. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tracks job volume. Busy, highly rated shops are hiring technicians; shops with few reviews need marketing. | | **address + service\_area** | Most technicians serve an area from a van. A street address with retail hours marks a shop with a parts counter or used-appliance showroom. | | **phone** | Bookings come in by phone. The number often rings the technician's mobile; call by hand and follow the TCPA. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every appliance repair company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** appliance repair service, appliance repair, appliance technician, refrigerator repair service, fridge repair, freezer repair, ice maker repair, washer repair service, dryer repair service, washing machine repair, oven repair service, stove repair, range repair, dishwasher repair service, microwave repair, garbage disposal repair, wine cooler repair, sub zero repair, commercial appliance repair, commercial refrigeration repair, restaurant equipment repair, laundromat equipment repair, appliance installation service, used appliance store, appliance parts supplier. **Google Maps categories:** Appliance repair service, Refrigerator repair service, Washer & dryer repair service, Appliance parts supplier, Used appliance store, Appliance store. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to appliance repair companies, and what works - **Appliance parts distributors.** Control boards, compressors, igniters, pumps and seals. Speed decides second visits: lead with same-day or next-day shipping on the brands they fix most. - **Manufacturers and warranty administrators.** Brands and warranty companies need authorized servicers in every metro. Recruit independent shops where you have coverage gaps, with clear rates per call. - **Field-service and dispatch software.** Scheduling, routing, parts tracking and invoicing. Pitch fewer second trips and more calls per technician per day. - **Local marketing and web agencies.** Homeowners search "appliance repair near me" when something breaks. Show the owner where they rank and how their reviews compare with the top three nearby. - **Property managers and landlords.** Managers who replace or fix appliances across many units can list every repair company near their properties and set up a vendor agreement. ## How to segment and qualify a appliance repair company list ### Residential vs commercial Commercial refrigeration, restaurant and laundromat equipment repair is a different trade, with higher tickets and service contracts. Search those terms separately; some overlap with [HVAC contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/hvac-contractors). ### Brand specialists Shops that advertise high-end brands or factory authorization charge more and buy different parts. Search the brand repair terms and check service pages. ### Repair plus retail Shops with a used-appliance showroom or parts counter keep retail hours and buy inventory. Split them out with the category and hours columns. ### Weak online presence No website or fewer than 20 reviews: the natural targets for marketing offers, and a gap you can name in your first line. ### New repair businesses A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new appliance repair listings on Google Maps, when the technician is opening parts accounts and choosing software. ## How to reach appliance repair companies ### Catch technicians before the first call Technicians are in homes from mid-morning. Email so you land early morning or evening, and call before 9 a.m. ### Speak in calls per day Owners measure calls per technician per day and how many need a second visit for parts. Frame your offer around those two numbers. ### Summer and holidays are peaks Refrigerator calls tend to rise in summer heat and oven calls before Thanksgiving. Avoid long pitches in those weeks; plan conversations for late winter and early fall. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Most numbers are cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find appliance repair company leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above.

Architecture is a profession of small firms. The Census Bureau counted 22,805 architectural services establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541310), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics counts about 124,600 architect jobs. California (about 3,700 firms) leads, then New York (2,100), Florida (1,700), Texas (1,600), Illinois (940), Colorado (840) and Massachusetts (730). Most firms are small and principal-led; a smaller number of large firms do hospitals, schools and towers. Landscape architects are a separate code and a separate Google Maps category. Architects rarely buy building products themselves, but they write them into the specifications, which is why product makers spend so much time with them. ## How many architects are there in each state? California, New York and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 22,805 establishments in **Architectural services (NAICS 541310)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023.

Building product reps usually want the first group; plan-printing and software vendors may want all of them. | | **email + grade** | Firms publish info@ or a principal's name. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger firms list separate addresses for new business, careers and individual principals. The role and source page help you pick a principal or a specifications contact over the jobs inbox. | | **website** | An architect's site is a portfolio. It tells you whether the firm does residential, healthcare, education or retail work, which is the main thing a product rep needs to know before calling. | | **linkedin / instagram** | Residential and design-led firms show projects on Instagram; larger firms post on LinkedIn.

Leadraft includes these in its [Professional & B2B keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#professional-b2b) (66 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to architects, and what works - **Building product manufacturers and reps.** Windows, roofing, cladding, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures. Architects specify, so the goal is a spec, not a sale. Offer a short continuing education presentation for the office and current product data they can drop into specs. - **Design and BIM software vendors.** CAD, BIM, rendering, project management. Small firms watch license costs closely. Lead with time saved per drawing set or per rendering, and offer a trial on a live project. - **Rendering, drafting and outsourcing services.** Busy firms outsource renderings, CAD drafting and permit sets. Send two relevant samples and a turnaround time. - **Engineers and consultants.** Structural, MEP and civil engineers get much of their work from architects. A list of firms in your region is the basis for steady relationship building; see the [engineering firms list](https://leadraft.co/leads/engineering-firms). - **Professional liability insurance and accounting firms.** Architects carry professional liability insurance and run project-based billing. Offer a renewal review or project accounting help, framed around their firm size. - **Builders and developers looking for designers.** [General contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/general-contractors) and [home builders](https://leadraft.co/leads/home-builders) can list every architect in a market to build referral relationships and find design partners. ## How to segment and qualify a architect list ### Residential vs commercial Run residential architect and custom home terms separately from commercial, healthcare and school terms. The firm's website portfolio confirms it. Product reps and software vendors pitch the two very differently. ### Licensed firms vs designers Architectural designers, building designers and drafting services do a lot of residential work without an architect's license. Tag them by category and keep them as a separate segment. ### Landscape architects Landscape architects specify pavers, plants, irrigation and site furnishings. Search them on their own and keep them separate from building architects. ### By territory Reps and dealers cover counties or metros. Pick a county, draw a polygon or upload a KML territory so the list matches the rep map. ### Newly opened firms Architects often leave a large firm to start their own. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new firms as they appear on Google Maps, when they're choosing software, insurance and consultants. ## How to reach architects ### Reach the principal, keep it short In small firms the principal decides on software and consultants and approves product specs. Name a project from their portfolio and make one specific offer. ### Respect deadlines Firms work to submission and permit deadlines. Tuesday to Thursday mid-morning tends to work. If they say they're on a deadline, follow up in two weeks, not two days. ### Offer something useful Architects answer reps who save them time: accurate product data, a short continuing education presentation, a sample delivered to the office. A generic brochure rarely gets a reply. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Architects lead lists: questions How do I find architect leads? Pick the city, county or ZIP code you sell into, search terms like architect, architecture firm, residential architect and landscape architect, and let Leadraft collect every matching firm on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each firm's own website and checks every mailbox, so you export only Verified and Accept-all emails. How many architects are there in the US? The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts about 124,600 architect jobs (2025). They work in about 22,800 architectural services establishments with paid employees, according to the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns for 2023 (NAICS 541310). Some architects work in-house at engineering and construction firms, and some sole practitioners have no payroll and aren't in the Census count. Can I get a list of only residential architects? Yes. Search residential terms (residential architect, custom home architect, home designer, remodel architect) and check the firm's website portfolio in the website column. Google Maps doesn't have a separate residential category, so the search terms do most of the work. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the firm's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the firm's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does an architect email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per firm, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has about 3,700 architecture firms with employees (Census 2023). A California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include the architect's name or license number? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people, and doesn't pull license records.

Assisted living ranges from large senior living campuses run by national operators to six-bed care homes in a converted house. The Census Bureau counted 20,884 assisted living facilities for the elderly with paid employees in 2023. The national long-term care study from CDC's National Center for Health Statistics represents 31,416 residential care communities in its 2025 data, a wider definition. California (3,755) leads by far, followed by Washington (1,824), Florida (1,417), Oregon (1,090), Wisconsin (989) and Texas (963). States license these homes under different names, which is why small-home states rank high. Larger communities have an executive director, a sales or move-in team, and often a regional operator that buys centrally. Small care homes are usually run by the owner, who decides everything. ## How many assisted living facilities are there in each state? California, Washington and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 20,884 establishments in **Assisted living facilities for the elderly (NAICS 623312)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for assisted living facilities: | Field | Why it matters for assisted living facilities | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates assisted living from nursing homes, independent living and home care agencies, which often use similar words in their names. Keep Assisted living facility and Retirement home rows, and check Nursing home rows separately. | | **website** | Operator-run communities share a corporate domain. Small care homes often have a basic site, a Facebook page or nothing at all. Grouping by domain separates operators from owner-run homes. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger communities publish addresses for move-ins or sales, the executive director, careers and dining. The sales address is well monitored; the director's address reaches the person who buys. | | **email + grade** | **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. Small homes often use a free email address, which the free\_provider column flags. | | **rating + reviews** | Family reviews drive move-ins. Communities with few or poor reviews are leads for reputation, marketing and training offers. | | **facebook** | Small care homes often market only on Facebook. A Facebook link with no website is a clear lead for web design agencies. | | **phone** | Communities answer the phone for families all day. Ask for the executive director or the owner, and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every assisted living facility No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** assisted living facility, assisted living, senior living, senior living community, memory care, memory care facility, Alzheimer's care, dementia care, residential care home, residential care facility for the elderly, board and care home, adult family home, adult foster care, personal care home, group home for elderly, retirement home, retirement community, independent living, continuing care retirement community, respite care, senior apartments, elder care. **Google Maps categories:** Assisted living facility, Retirement home, Retirement community, Senior citizen center, Nursing home, Elder care service, Group home. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to assisted living facilities, and what works - **Senior living marketing and referral agencies.** Occupancy is the number every director watches. Show the community how it appears for "assisted living near me" and how its reviews compare with the nearest three. - **Healthcare staffing agencies.** Caregivers, med techs and nurses turn over often. Lead with fill time and the shifts you cover, and reach the executive director or the owner. - **Senior living software.** Resident care records, eMAR, family communication, billing and move-in CRM tools. Pitch hours saved for care staff and smoother state inspections. - **Pharmacy, medical supply and visiting clinicians.** Long-term care pharmacies, supply companies, mobile labs, podiatry and therapy providers come to the building. Map every community in your delivery or visit radius. - **Food service, activities and furniture vendors.** Dining, activity programs and furnishings matter for move-ins. Larger communities and new openings are the best first accounts. - **Home health and hospice agencies.** Agencies build referral relationships with communities nearby. Draw a radius around your service area and introduce the services you provide to residents. ## How to segment and qualify a assisted living facility list ### Large communities vs small care homes Search assisted living and senior living terms for communities, and residential care, board and care and adult family home terms for small homes. They buy very differently, so keep them in separate lists. ### Operator-run vs independent Group by website domain. A domain across many communities is an operator that buys centrally. A single-site domain, a free email address or a Facebook-only listing is usually an independent owner. ### Memory care Search memory care, dementia care and Alzheimer's care. These communities buy security systems, specialized programs and staff training. ### Assisted living vs nursing homes Keep [nursing homes](https://leadraft.co/leads/nursing-homes) out of an assisted living list (or the reverse) using the category column. They're licensed, staffed and paid differently. ### New communities New senior living buildings need staff, furniture, software and marketing before they open. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach assisted living facilities ### Write to the executive director or owner In larger communities, the executive director runs the budget and the sales team runs move-ins. In small homes, the owner does both and often provides care. Keep the first email short and specific. ### Use your own state's terms Licensing names vary: residential care facility for the elderly in California, adult family home in Washington, personal care home in Pennsylvania and Georgia. Use the right term in your searches and your emails. ### Time it for the office day Directors handle tours and family visits late morning and weekends. Early afternoon on weekdays is a good window for calls. ### Compliance notes Emailing a facility's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve resident health information. If your product touches resident data, expect privacy questions and possibly a business associate agreement. The email itself falls under CAN-SPAM, and calls and texts under the TCPA, which matters because small homes often list a cell phone. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find assisted living facility leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Assisted living facilities lead lists: questions How many assisted living facilities are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 20,884 assisted living facilities for the elderly with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 623312). The National Center for Health Statistics long-term care study represents 31,416 residential care communities, including assisted living, in its 2025 data. The difference is definitions: small care homes are counted in different ways. How do I find assisted living leads? Pick a city, county, state or a shape you draw and search assisted living terms (assisted living, memory care, senior living, plus your state's name for small homes). Leadraft keeps only facilities inside your area, finds emails on each facility's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Does the list include small residential care homes? Yes, if they're on Google Maps and you search the terms they use (residential care home, board and care, adult family home, personal care home). Many small homes have only a Facebook page or a free email address, which the list shows. Can I separate assisted living from nursing homes? Yes. They're filed under different Google Maps categories (Assisted living facility vs Nursing home). Search each set of terms and filter by category. How much does an assisted living email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per facility, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 3,755 assisted living facilities with employees (Census 2023), and Google Maps will show more small homes than that. A California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails to test one county first. Do you include owner or director names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each facility publishes on its own website, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 623312, Assisted Living Facilities for the Elderly)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[CDC, National Center for Health Statistics: National Post-acute and Long-term Care Study, biennial overview](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/npals/webtables/overview.htm) · 2025 NPALS data: survey responses from 2,906 eligible residential care communities, representing 31,416. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the assisted living facilities in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Collision repair is a local trade with a strong pull toward consolidation. The Census Bureau counted 35,029 body, paint and interior repair shops with employees in 2023 (NAICS 811121), led by California (4,141), Texas (2,725), Florida (2,076), New York (2,004), Illinois (1,534) and Pennsylvania (1,532). Independent single-shop owners still make up much of the map, next to multi-shop operators (MSOs), franchise networks and dealer-owned body shops. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 163,200 automotive body and related repairer jobs in 2025, 60% of them in body, paint, interior and glass repair. Most work is paid by auto insurers, so shops care about cycle time, approvals and their standing in insurer repair programs. The owner or general manager buys anything big (paint lines, frame machines, estimating software); the office or parts manager handles day-to-day suppliers. ## How many auto body shops are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 35,029 establishments in **Automotive body, paint, and interior repair and maintenance (NAICS 811121)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for auto body shops: | Field | Why it matters for auto body shops | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates collision shops from paintless dent repair, glass and restoration specialists, and catches mechanical repair shops that also do body work.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** auto body shop, collision repair, collision center, body shop, car body repair, auto paint shop, car paint shop, auto refinishing, paintless dent repair, dent repair service, hail damage repair, bumper repair, frame straightening service, auto frame repair, fender repair, scratch repair, auto glass shop, windshield repair, classic car restoration, custom auto body, truck body repair, fleet collision repair, rv body shop, motorcycle body shop, aluminum body repair. **Google Maps categories:** Auto body shop, Auto painting, Auto dent removal service, Auto glass shop, Auto restoration service, Auto repair shop, Truck repair shop. Leadraft includes these in its [Auto keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#auto) (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to auto body shops, and what works - **Paint, refinish and body supply distributors.** Paint lines, clear coat, abrasives, fillers and masking. Lead with delivery frequency and a cost-per-repair-order comparison, because paint and materials are a large, measurable cost. - **Equipment dealers.** Spray booths, frame machines, welders, ADAS calibration and diagnostic scan tools. Pitch the work the shop is sending out today (calibrations, aluminum repair) that it could keep in house. - **Auto marketing, SEO and reputation agencies.** Drivers search "collision repair near me" right after an accident. Show the owner where they rank on the map and how their review count compares with the three nearest shops. - **Parts suppliers, recyclers and glass distributors.** OEM, aftermarket and recycled parts plus glass. Lead with fill rate, delivery times and returns, because a missing part stalls the whole repair. - **Shop management, payments and customer communication software.** Repair status texts, online estimates, payments and production boards. Pitch shorter cycle times and fewer "is my car ready" calls. - **Towing companies and fleet managers.** Tow operators and fleet managers want a reliable shop to send vehicles to. A short note about your area and response time starts a referral relationship. ## How to segment and qualify a auto body shop list ### Collision vs specialty Use the category column to split collision shops from paintless dent repair, auto glass and restoration or custom shops. Each segment buys different supplies and equipment. ### Independents vs MSOs and franchises Group rows by website domain. One domain across many locations is a multi-shop operator or franchise: contact head office for software and supply deals, and individual shops for local services. ### Dealer-owned body shops Body shops attached to new car dealerships buy through the dealer group. Pair this list with our [car dealership email list](https://leadraft.co/leads/car-dealerships) and target the fixed-ops side. ### Hail and storm markets Paintless dent repair demand clusters in hail belts. Draw the area around the hail-prone counties you serve and search dent and hail terms there. ### Weak online presence Filter for shops with no website, a rating under 4.0 or fewer than 50 reviews. Our guide on [finding businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews) shows how to turn that into a first line. ### Newly opened shops New body shops need paint accounts, equipment and a listing that ranks. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach auto body shops ### Mornings are busy, afternoons less so Shops check in vehicles and write estimates first thing. Mid-afternoon emails and calls Tuesday to Thursday tend to reach the manager. ### Speak to cycle time and the insurer Most repairs are paid by insurance, so shops care about how fast they can repair a car and get paid. Offers framed as fewer days per repair, fewer supplements or faster payment land well. ### Name a real observation Body shop owners get a lot of vendor email. Lead with something specific from the row: their review count against nearby shops, missing Saturday hours, or no online estimate form. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call shop lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find auto body shop leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Auto body shops lead lists: questions How do I find auto body shop leads? Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as auto body shop, collision repair, auto paint shop and paintless dent repair. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only shops inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each shop's website and checks every one before you export. How many auto body shops are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 35,029 automotive body, paint and interior repair shops with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 811121). California has the most (4,141), then Texas (2,725) and Florida (2,076). Owner-only shops with no payroll aren't in that count, and many mechanical repair shops also do body work, so Google Maps shows more. Can I separate collision shops from mechanics? Yes. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories. Keep Auto body shop and Auto painting rows for a collision list, and drop or separate shops whose main category is Auto repair shop. For mechanics, see our [auto repair shop email list](https://leadraft.co/leads/auto-repair-shops). Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the shop's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the shop's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does an auto body shop email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per shop, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 4,141 auto body shops with employees (Census 2023). A California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,500 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. A national list of about 35,000 shops fits Growth's 100,000 businesses. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each shop publishes on its own website, often an office or estimates address and sometimes a named owner or manager, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 811121, Automotive Body, Paint, and Interior Repair and Maintenance)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Automotive Body and Glass Repairers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/installation-maintenance-and-repair/automotive-body-and-glass-repairers.htm) · 163,200 automotive body and related repairer jobs in 2025 (185,800 including glass repairers); 60% in body, paint, interior and glass repair. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the auto body shops in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Auto repair is one of the most fragmented trades in the country. The Census Bureau counted about 84,900 general repair shops with employees in 2023, and 90% had fewer than 10 staff; the wider repair and maintenance group (body shops, glass, oil change, car washes and more) adds up to about 169,600 establishments. The biggest states are California (about 9,800 general shops), Texas (6,300), New York (5,300) and Florida (5,200). Most shops are owner-operated, often with the owner still working a bay. Franchises and multi-shop groups (Midas, Meineke, Firestone and regional chains) buy centrally, but independents decide alone and buy from parts distributors, software vendors and marketers they trust. ## How many auto repair shops are there in each state? California, Texas and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 84,859 establishments in **General automotive repair (NAICS 811111)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for auto repair shops: | Field | Why it matters for auto repair shops | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Many shops publish one service address, and some only list a phone. The grade shows whether the mailbox is confirmed (**Verified**) or the domain accepts everything (**Accept-all**, a maybe). | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Bigger shops list service advisor, parts or fleet addresses. The role column helps you reach the owner or service manager rather than the appointment inbox. | | **category / categories** | Splits general repair from brake, transmission, tire, muffler and diesel specialists. Exclude auto parts stores and dealership service departments if you sell to independents. | | **website + website\_platform** | A large share of independent shops have no website or a single-page site. That's the lead for web design and SEO agencies, and the platform column shows who's on a basic builder. | | **rating + reviews** | Repair is a trust purchase, so review count tracks car count. Shops with good ratings but few reviews are ideal for review-request tools. | | **hours** | Shows Saturday and evening hours, which signal a growth-minded shop. Also tells you when the owner is least likely to be under a car. | | **phone** | Shops answer the phone all day because that's how jobs arrive. A short call after an email works, made by hand to the business line. | | **facebook / yelp** | Many shops are more active on Facebook and Yelp than on their own website. A missing or stale profile is a talking point for local marketing offers. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every auto repair shop No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** auto repair shop, mechanic, car repair, auto service center, brake shop, transmission repair service, engine repair, oil change service, tire shop, wheel alignment service, muffler shop, exhaust repair, auto electrical service, car ac repair, check engine light diagnostics, european auto repair, import car repair, diesel mechanic, truck repair shop, mobile mechanic, state inspection station, smog check station, fleet maintenance service, hybrid car repair. **Google Maps categories:** Auto repair shop, Mechanic, Car repair and maintenance service, Brake shop, Transmission shop, Oil change service, Tire shop, Muffler shop, Auto air conditioning service, Auto electrical service, Truck repair shop, Smog inspection station. Leadraft includes these in its [Auto keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#auto) (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to auto repair shops, and what works - **Shop management software.** Digital vehicle inspections, estimates by text, parts ordering and payments. Pitch the owner on higher average repair orders and less time on the phone. - **Marketing, SEO and review agencies.** Open with what you can see: no website, fewer reviews than the shop down the street, or no listing for "brake repair near me". Offer a ZIP-level visibility check. - **Parts distributors and tool dealers.** Independent shops compare parts suppliers on delivery speed and price. Segment by specialty (European, diesel, transmission) and send a relevant line card. - **Fleet managers and fleet maintenance networks.** Companies with vans and trucks need reliable local shops. Filter by hours and ratings and propose a fleet account. - **Equipment, financing and warranty providers.** Lifts, alignment machines, diagnostic scanners and ADAS calibration rigs are big purchases. Extended warranty and consumer financing programs sell to shops that want bigger tickets. ## How to segment and qualify a auto repair shop list ### General vs specialist Use the category columns and terms like "transmission repair service" or "european auto repair" to split specialists from general repair. Specialists buy specific tools and parts. ### Independent vs franchise Franchise locations share a brand name and website domain. Group rows by domain: one domain across dozens of rows is a chain that buys at head office. ### No website Filter for shops with a phone but no website. For web design agencies this is the cleanest segment in the list. ### Good shops with few reviews A 4.7 rating on 25 reviews means happy customers who aren't being asked. That's the pitch for review software. ### Diesel and truck repair Truck and diesel shops serve fleets and have bigger tickets. Search "truck repair shop" and "diesel mechanic" separately from cars. ### Newly opened shops New shops need software, parts accounts and marketing at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area catches them as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach auto repair shops ### Avoid opening and closing time Mornings are drop-offs and estimates; late afternoon is pickups. Mid-morning or right after lunch, Tuesday to Thursday, is when the owner or service manager reads email. Mondays are usually the busiest. ### Keep it short and concrete Shop owners skim. One sentence on what you saw, one on what you do, and a simple question. Numbers they care about: car count, average repair order, comebacks. ### Respect the bay In a small shop the person answering the phone is often also turning wrenches. Ask when a better time is instead of pitching on the first call. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. For calls and texts the TCPA applies, so dial by hand and don't text without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Auto repair shops lead lists: questions How many auto repair shops are there in the US? The Census Bureau counted 84,859 general automotive repair shops with paid employees in 2023 (County Business Patterns, NAICS 811111), and 169,572 automotive repair and maintenance establishments of all kinds (NAICS 8111, including body, glass, oil change and car washes). BLS counted 825,800 automotive service technician and mechanic jobs in 2025. Can I get an auto repair shop email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area, set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps shops inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), and you aren't charged for businesses outside it. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the shop's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the shop's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does an auto repair shop email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per shop, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas had about 6,340 general repair shops with employees in 2023 (Census). A Texas list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month); if you want 4,000 verified emails at once, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. Why do some shops have no email? Many repair shops have no website, or a site that only shows a phone number and a contact form. Leadraft only takes emails published on the business's own website, so those rows come with phone, contact form and social profiles instead. Can I exclude dealership service departments and parts stores? Yes. Leadraft's on-topic filter drops businesses in the wrong trade, and you can filter by category in the leads table. Dealer service departments usually share the dealership's listing and domain, so grouping by website also helps. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 811111 and 8111)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Automotive Service Technicians and Mechanics](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/installation-maintenance-and-repair/automotive-service-technicians-and-mechanics.htm) · 825,800 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the auto repair shops in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counted 9,219 retail bakeries with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 311811: bakeries that bake on site and sell to the public), and about 7 in 10 had fewer than 10 staff. That count misses many businesses people call bakeries: donut and bagel shops that are filed as cafes or snack bars, wholesale bakeries, and home bakers with cottage-food permits and no payroll. Google Maps lists most of them, so a Maps search shows more bakeries than the Census count. California leads (1,377), then New York (897), Texas (699), New Jersey (448), Florida (439) and Illinois (432). Most bakeries are independent and owner-run, with the owner often baking from before dawn. Franchise donut and bagel brands make up a visible share in many towns. ## How many bakeries are there in each state? California, New York and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 9,219 establishments in **Retail bakeries (NAICS 311811)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023.

Bakeries with hundreds of reviews move volume and buy ingredients and packaging in bulk. | | **instagram / facebook / tiktok** | Cake and pastry shops sell through photos. Active accounts point to bakeries that market; missing ones are openings for social media and photography services. | | **address + in\_area** | Home bakers sometimes list a pickup address. The area columns help you keep storefront bakeries in your delivery territory, which matters for distributors with routes. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every bakery No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** bakery, artisan bakery, french bakery, italian bakery, mexican bakery, panaderia, german bakery, asian bakery, bread bakery, sourdough bakery, cake shop, custom cakes, wedding cakes, cupcake shop, donut shop, bagel shop, pastry shop, patisserie, cookie shop, gluten free bakery, vegan bakery, kolache shop, pie shop, wholesale bakery, home bakery. **Google Maps categories:** Bakery, Cake shop, Pastry shop, Cupcake shop, Donut shop, Bagel shop, Wedding bakery, Dessert shop, Wholesale bakery, Cookie shop. Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to bakeries, and what works - **Food and ingredient distributors.** Flour, butter, sugar, chocolate, fillings and dairy on a route. Lead with delivery days that match their baking schedule and pricing on the items they reorder weekly. - **Packaging suppliers.** Cake boxes, pastry boxes, bread bags, cupcake inserts and branded packaging. Bakeries with high review counts go through packaging fastest. Offer small minimums for custom printing. - **Bakery equipment dealers and repair services.** Ovens, mixers, proofers, sheeters, display cases and refrigeration. Target established bakeries for upgrades and newly opened ones for full fit-outs. Repair contracts sell on uptime. - **Point-of-sale, ordering and delivery software.** Online preorders for holidays, custom cake orders with deposits, and delivery. Pitch fewer phone orders and fewer missed pickups. - **Cafes, grocers and restaurants buying wholesale.** Buyers looking for a wholesale bread or pastry supplier can list every bakery in their area and ask about wholesale. Search "wholesale bakery" and artisan terms. - **Marketing and web agencies.** Show the bakery how it ranks for "bakery near me" and "custom cakes" in its city. A short audit with photos of their best-reviewed items beats a generic pitch. ## How to segment and qualify a bakery list ### Retail bakeries vs cake studios Walk-in bakeries buy ingredients and packaging in volume. Cake studios work by order and buy decorating supplies, boxes and wedding marketing. Search and tag them separately. ### Donut and bagel shops Donut and bagel shops are high-volume, early-morning businesses, many of them franchise units. Group by website domain to separate franchise units from independents. ### Ethnic and specialty bakeries Panaderias, Asian bakeries, kosher and gluten-free bakeries buy specialty ingredients and serve loyal neighborhoods. Search each style on its own for distributors with matching products. ### Wholesale bakeries Wholesale bakeries supply cafes, restaurants and grocers. They buy larger equipment and delivery vehicles and are a separate sale from retail shops. ### Newly opened bakeries A new bakery needs equipment, packaging, a distributor, POS and a website. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach bakeries ### Avoid the morning rush Bakers start before dawn and serve customers until late morning. Email so it lands early afternoon, after the rush and before close, and call around 1 to 3 p.m. ### Respect the holiday calendar Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter and Mother's Day are a bakery's busiest weeks. Don't pitch then. Pitch preorder and holiday offers four to six weeks before. ### Talk in their numbers Bakery margins are thin. Offers framed as cost per dozen, waste reduced or hours saved before opening land better than feature lists. See [how to sell to restaurants](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-sell-to-restaurants) for food-business selling that also fits bakeries. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find bakery leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Bakeries lead lists: questions How do I find bakery leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search bakery terms such as bakery, cake shop, donut shop, bagel shop, panaderia and wedding cakes, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each bakery's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many bakeries are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 9,219 retail bakeries with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 311811). That leaves out many donut and bagel shops filed as cafes, wholesale bakeries, and home bakers with no payroll, so Google Maps shows more bakeries than the Census count. How much does a bakery email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per bakery, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 1,377 retail bakeries with employees (Census 2023). Even if a Maps search including cake, donut and bagel shops finds three times that, about 4,100 businesses, a statewide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). For 2,500 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city. Can I get only cake shops or only wholesale bakeries? Yes. Search those terms on their own and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can keep Cake shop or Wholesale bakery rows and drop the rest. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the bakery's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the bakery's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each bakery publishes on its own website, often an orders or info address and sometimes the owner's, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 311811, Retail Bakeries)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the bakeries in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Barbering is one of the most fragmented trades in the country. The Census Bureau counted 7,789 barbershops with paid employees in 2023, and roughly 9 in 10 had fewer than 10 staff. Far more of the trade runs without payroll: the Census counted about 141,800 nonemployer barber businesses, and the BLS says 80% of barbers are self-employed. Many of them rent a chair or a booth inside someone else's shop, so one Google Maps listing can stand for several independent businesses. Employer shops cluster in New York (about 1,000), Florida (808), Texas (605), California (594) and New Jersey (560). The owner usually cuts hair too and makes every buying decision, often from a phone between clients. ## How many barbershops are there in each state? New York, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 7,789 establishments in **Barber shops (NAICS 812111)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | New York | 1,000 | 12.8% | | 2 | Florida | 808 | 10.4% | | 3 | Texas | 605 | 7.8% | | 4 | California | 594 | 7.6% | | 5 | New Jersey | 560 | 7.2% | | 6 | Pennsylvania | 301 | 3.9% | | 7 | Illinois | 294 | 3.8% | | 8 | Virginia | 260 | 3.3% | | 9 | Georgia | 212 | 2.7% | | 10 | Arizona | 206 | 2.6% | | 11 | North Carolina | 194 | 2.5% | | 12 | Washington | 192 | 2.5% | | 13 | Colorado | 189 | 2.4% | | 14 | Michigan | 188 | 2.4% | | 15 | Massachusetts | 164 | 2.1% | | 16 | Ohio | 154 | 2.0% | | 17 | Wisconsin | 133 | 1.7% | | 18 | Maryland | 129 | 1.7% | | 19 | Missouri | 127 | 1.6% | | 20 | Indiana | 126 | 1.6% | | 21 | Tennessee | 115 | 1.5% | | 22 | Utah | 105 | 1.3% | | 23 | South Carolina | 98 | 1.3% | | 24 | Minnesota | 88 | 1.1% | | 25 | Oregon | 85 | 1.1% | | 26 | Connecticut | 79 | 1.0% | | 27 | Louisiana | 64 | 0.8% | | 28 | Nevada | 64 | 0.8% | | 29 | Oklahoma | 60 | 0.8% | | 30 | Alabama | 55 | 0.7% | | 31 | Hawaii | 48 | 0.6% | | 32 | Kentucky | 47 | 0.6% | | 33 | Kansas | 44 | 0.6% | | 34 | Arkansas | 36 | 0.5% | | 35 | Nebraska | 35 | 0.4% | | 36 | Idaho | 33 | 0.4% | | 37 | New Mexico | 33 | 0.4% | | 38 | Delaware | 31 | 0.4% | | 39 | Iowa | 28 | 0.4% | | 40 | Mississippi | 28 | 0.4% | | 41 | Rhode Island | 27 | 0.3% | | 42 | New Hampshire | 26 | 0.3% | | 43 | Maine | 20 | 0.3% | | 44 | North Dakota | 20 | 0.3% | | 45 | Montana | 17 | 0.2% | | 46 | West Virginia | 17 | 0.2% | | 47 | District of Columbia | 15 | 0.2% | | 48 | Alaska | 14 | 0.2% | | 49 | South Dakota | 8 | 0.1% | | 50 | Vermont | 8 | 0.1% | | 51 | Wyoming | 5 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a barbershop lead list Every row is one barbershop business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for barbershops: | Field | Why it matters for barbershops | | --- | --- | | **instagram / facebook / tiktok** | Barbers market on Instagram more than on their websites. Many shops post cuts daily and take bookings by DM. The social columns tell you where the shop is active, and an empty Instagram column is an opening for social media agencies. | | **website + website\_platform** | A large share of barbershops have no website, or link straight to a booking page instead. A row with no website, or only a booking link, is the lead for web design and booking software. The platform column shows who runs on a template builder. | | **email + grade** | Shops that have a site often publish one address, sometimes a personal Gmail. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe. The free\_provider column flags Gmail and Yahoo addresses, which usually go straight to the owner. | | **phone** | The listed number is often the owner's cell or a shop phone that rings at the chair. Call by hand during slow hours and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **rating + reviews** | Barbershops live on reviews. A shop with 400 reviews and a 4.8 rating is busy and probably adding chairs; one with 20 reviews needs marketing. Both are useful, for different offers. | | **hours** | Most shops close one day a week (often Sunday or Monday) and open late on Fridays and Saturdays. The hours column tells you when the owner is free to read email and when not to call. | | **category / categories** | Separates Barber shop from Men's hair salon, Hair salon and Barber school. Barber suppliers want the shops; schools are a different sale. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every barbershop No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** barbershop, barber shop, barber, men's haircut, men's grooming, fade haircut, skin fade, taper fade, hot towel shave, straight razor shave, beard trim, beard grooming, kids haircut, black barbershop, latino barbershop, dominican barbershop, barber lounge, gentlemen's barber, old school barber shop, walk in barber, mobile barber, hair design barber, hair replacement for men, barber school. **Google Maps categories:** Barber shop, Men's hair salon, Hair salon, Beauty salon, Barber school, Barber supply store, Hair replacement service. Leadraft includes these in its [Beauty & wellness keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#beauty-wellness) (50 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to barbershops, and what works - **Barber supply distributors and brands.** Clippers, trimmers, blades, razors, capes, chairs, pomades and beard products. Lead with the tools they reorder and fast shipping. Shops with high review counts go through supplies fastest. - **Booking and point-of-sale software.** Online booking, deposits for no-shows, chair-rental billing and tips. Owners who rent chairs want rent collection handled for them. Pitch fewer no-shows and less time on the phone. - **Social media and local marketing agencies.** Show the owner how the shop ranks for "barber near me" in its ZIP, and how its Instagram compares with the top three shops nearby. A short, specific audit beats a generic pitch. - **Merchant services and payment providers.** Barbershops take a lot of small card payments and tips. A clear rate comparison on their actual ticket size gets attention. See [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads). - **Insurance providers.** Shop owners need general liability and property cover, and chair renters need their own professional liability. Offer a fast quote and a simple policy for renters the owner can point them to. - **Barber schools and education brands.** Shops hire apprentices and want barbers trained in new techniques. Schools and educators can offer classes, apprentice pipelines or sponsored events. ## How to segment and qualify a barbershop list ### Established vs new shops Filter by review count. Shops with hundreds of reviews have money to spend on chairs, software and brand partnerships. Shops with under 30 reviews are new or struggling and respond to marketing offers. ### No website Filter the website column for empty rows. These shops rely on walk-ins and Instagram, and are the natural leads for web design and booking tools. Our guide to [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites) covers how to pitch them. ### Barber shops vs men's salons Use the category column to split Barber shop from Men's hair salon and Hair salon. Salons buy color products and stylist chairs; barbershops buy clippers and shave supplies. ### Multi-location brands Group by website domain. Several rows on one domain is a small chain or franchise that buys centrally. Pitch the owner or head office once, not each shop. ### Newly opened shops New barbershops open all the time and need chairs, tools, signage, software and a website at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach barbershops ### The owner is behind the chair Most owners cut hair all day and read email in short gaps. Keep the email to four or five lines, name the shop and one thing you noticed, and ask one question. Mornings before opening and the quiet midweek afternoons work best. ### Know the closed day Many shops close Sunday or Monday, and Fridays and Saturdays are their busiest days. Check the hours column and don't call on a Saturday afternoon. ### Booth renters are separate businesses In a chair-rental shop, each barber may buy their own tools and products. The owner buys the chairs, the software and the lease. Decide which one your offer is for before you write. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find barbershop leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above.

Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search barbershop terms such as barber shop, barber, men's haircut, fade haircut and hot towel shave, and Leadraft finds every matching shop on Google Maps inside that area. It then finds emails on each shop's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many barbershops are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 7,789 barbershops with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 812111). Its Nonemployer Statistics counted another 141,769 barber businesses with no employees, mostly self-employed barbers, many of whom rent a chair inside a shop. Google Maps shows more shops than the employer count, because many small shops have no payroll. How much does a barbershop email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per shop, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. New York has about 1,000 barbershops with employees (Census 2023), and a Maps search will usually find more, since many shops have no payroll. Even at 4,000 shops, a New York list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do most barbershops have an email address? Not all. Many shops have no website and take bookings by phone, walk-in or Instagram. Leadraft only finds emails a shop publishes on its own website, so expect a lower email rate than for trades like dentists or lawyers. The phone and social columns give you other ways to reach the shops without one. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the shop's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the shop's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include barbers' names or personal emails? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each shop publishes on its own website, sometimes a Gmail address the owner uses for the business, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 812111, Barber Shops)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2023 Nonemployer Statistics (US file, NAICS 812111)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/nonemployer-statistics/datasets/2023/historical-datasets/nonemp23us.zip) · Businesses with no paid employees. 3. 3.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Barbers, Hairstylists, and Cosmetologists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/personal-care-and-service/barbers-hairstylists-and-cosmetologists.htm) · 75,800 barber jobs in 2025; 80% self-employed. 4. 4.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 5. 5.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the barbershops in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counted about 40,800 drinking places with employees in 2023 (NAICS 722410), and two thirds of them had fewer than 10 staff. That number understates the market: a bar that makes most of its money from food is counted as a restaurant, and so are many bar-and-grills, sports bars and brewpubs. California (about 3,300), New York (3,300), Texas (3,000), Illinois (2,900) and Wisconsin (2,700) lead, and Wisconsin's count is high for its population. Most bars are independent and owner-run, with a bar manager handling ordering and staff. Owners buy on relationships and on anything that brings people in on a slow night. ## How many bars are there in each state? California, New York and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 40,835 establishments in **Drinking places (alcoholic beverages) (NAICS 722410)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for bars: | Field | Why it matters for bars | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Bars usually publish one address for bookings or general questions, often a free Gmail. The grade tells you whether it's a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts any address (**Accept-all**, a maybe, never a yes). | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Venues with private events or live music list separate addresses for events, booking and careers. Bands, DJs and promoters want booking@; a POS or payroll pitch goes to the general or management inbox. | | **category / categories** | A cocktail bar, a sports bar, a brewery taproom and a nightclub buy different things. Breweries are also producers, so they may be a customer, a competitor or a partner depending on what you sell. | | **hours** | Shows who opens at 11am with food, who opens at 4pm and who runs until 2am. Late-night venues need security, late cleaning and ride-share partnerships; the hours also tell you when the manager is around. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tracks traffic and age. A bar with a low rating and complaints about service or wait times is a lead for training, staffing or POS offers. | | **price\_level** | Separates dive bars from upscale cocktail rooms. Premium spirits brands and glassware suppliers want the top bands; value beer programs want the rest. | | **instagram / facebook / tiktok** | Bars promote events, trivia nights and specials on social. An active Facebook events page means a bar that books entertainment. | | **phone** | Many bars answer the phone only at night. Pair the phone with the hours column, and call the business line by hand. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every bar No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** bar, pub, tavern, cocktail bar, sports bar, wine bar, dive bar, irish pub, brewery, brewpub, taproom, beer bar, beer garden, lounge, hookah lounge, night club, speakeasy, rooftop bar, karaoke bar, piano bar, gay bar, whiskey bar, bar and grill, live music bar, distillery tasting room. **Google Maps categories:** Bar, Pub, Cocktail bar, Sports bar, Wine bar, Dive bar, Irish pub, Brewery, Brewpub, Beer hall, Beer garden, Lounge, Hookah bar, Night club, Karaoke bar, Gay bar, Bar & grill. Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to bars, and what works - **Beer, wine and spirits brands.** Build pull for your brand with tastings, staff education and menu placement. Most states require alcohol sales to go through a licensed distributor (the three-tier system), so check your state's rules before you talk price. - **Entertainment: bands, DJs, trivia hosts, karaoke and event promoters.** Offer a slow night filled. Say which night, what it costs, and what a similar bar saw in covers or bar tabs if you have real numbers. Target bars whose social pages already list events. - **POS, inventory and payroll software.** Bar owners lose money to pour costs and tab mistakes. Lead with inventory variance, faster tabs and tip handling, and keep the number specific. - **Security, cleaning and late-night service contractors.** Late-close venues need door staff, overnight cleaning and line and draft cleaning. Filter by closing time and pitch around their hours. - **Bar equipment, glassware and supplies.** Glassware breaks, ice machines fail, draft systems need cleaning. Pitch a fast replacement or a service plan and route by location. - **Marketing and event listing services.** Name what's missing: no website, events posted nowhere, few reviews compared with nearby bars. ## How to segment and qualify a bar list ### By type Split cocktail bars, sports bars, pubs, wine bars, breweries and nightclubs using the category columns. Each has different suppliers, staff and peak hours. ### Food or no food Search "bar and grill" and "pub" to catch bars that serve food, many of which are filed as restaurants. Bars with a kitchen buy food supply, hood cleaning and kitchen equipment as well. ### Late-night venues Use hours to keep bars that close at midnight or later. These are the targets for security, late cleaning and nightlife marketing. ### Event-ready bars Bars with an events or booking email, or a busy Facebook page, already book entertainment and private parties. Good for performers, promoters and event software. ### Newly opened bars A new bar picks its POS, distributors, glassware and entertainment in its first months. Set up a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area to get new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach bars ### Work on bar hours Bar managers rarely read email in the morning. Send late morning or early afternoon so it's at the top when they arrive, and call between about 2pm and 5pm, before happy hour. Never call on a Friday or Saturday night. ### Talk to the owner or bar manager The bartender who answers won't decide. Ask for the owner or manager by role, and keep your pitch to one concrete benefit: a fuller Tuesday, lower pour cost, faster tabs. ### Know the alcohol rules If you sell alcohol, state three-tier laws generally mean selling through a distributor, and some states limit what suppliers can give retailers for free. Get advice for each state you sell into. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, and many bars list an owner's cell, so call by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Bars lead lists: questions How many bars are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 40,835 drinking places with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 722410). That undercounts bars as people use the word, because bars that earn most of their revenue from food are classed as restaurants, and owner-only bars with no payroll aren't included. A Google Maps search for your area shows every bar listed there, whatever its tax category. Can I get a bar email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map (a nightlife district, for example), set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only bars inside your area, or inside plus nearby if you choose. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the bar's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the bar's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a bar email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per bar, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Wisconsin had about 2,700 drinking places with employees in 2023 (Census). Searching bars, pubs and taverns statewide might return more than that once food-serving bars are included, and still fit the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month). The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test a city. Can I include breweries and taprooms? Yes. Add "brewery", "brewpub" and "taproom" to your search terms. They show up with categories such as Brewery or Brewpub, so you can keep or remove them as a segment. Do you include the owner's name or personal email? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails the bar publishes on its own website, each with its role and source, plus the phone, hours and social profiles from its Google Maps listing. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 722410, Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages))](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the bars in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Brewers Association counted 9,724 breweries in the US in 2025, and 9,578 of them were craft breweries: 3,784 taproom breweries, 3,525 brewpubs, 1,994 microbreweries and 275 regional craft breweries. The Census Bureau's count is lower (5,218 establishments with paid employees in 2023, NAICS 312120) because brewpubs are often classified as restaurants or bars. By Census count, California leads (561), then New York (316), North Carolina (263), Pennsylvania (260), Colorado (257) and Washington (253). Most breweries are small and owner-run: the owner or head brewer buys brewing supplies and equipment, a taproom manager runs front of house, and larger breweries have a sales or distribution manager who works with wholesalers. ## How many breweries are there in each state? California, New York and North Carolina have the most. The Census Bureau counted 5,218 establishments in **Breweries (NAICS 312120)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for breweries: | Field | Why it matters for breweries | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits Brewery from Brewpub, Beer hall and Bar. A grain or hop supplier wants actual brewers; a POS or event vendor also wants beer halls and gastropubs. Check categories, because bars that sell craft beer sometimes appear for brewery searches. | | **email + grade** | Breweries usually publish info@, events@ or a sales address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger breweries list separate addresses for events, distribution, careers and merchandise. The role and source columns help you reach the owner, brewer or sales manager rather than the events inbox. | | **hours** | Taproom hours tell you whether a brewery runs a taproom and how busy it is. Many are closed early in the week, which is when brewers brew and have time to read email. | | **rating + reviews** | Taproom review count tracks visitor volume. Breweries with many reviews sell more on site and buy more glassware, cans and merchandise. | | **instagram / facebook** | Breweries announce releases and events on Instagram and Facebook. Active accounts point to breweries that put money into marketing. | | **website + website\_platform** | Breweries sell merchandise, event tickets and beer-to-go online.

See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every brewery No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** brewery, craft brewery, microbrewery, brewpub, taproom, brewery taproom, nano brewery, farm brewery, craft beer, beer garden, beer hall, brewing company, brewery restaurant, dog friendly brewery, sour beer brewery, lager brewery, cidery, meadery, brewery tours, local beer. **Google Maps categories:** Brewery, Brewpub, Beer hall, Beer garden, Bar, Gastropub, Cider mill, Distillery. Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to breweries, and what works - **Brewing ingredient and packaging suppliers.** Malt, hops, yeast, cans, labels, crowlers and kegs. Lead with lead times and minimum orders that fit a small brewery's batch size. - **Brewing equipment makers and service companies.** Brewhouses, fermenters, canning lines, glycol chillers and maintenance. Target growing breweries (high review counts, expanding hours) and new openings. - **Taproom POS and brewery management software.** Taproom POS, inventory, batch tracking and excise tax reporting. Pitch less time on reports and fewer stock surprises. - **Food trucks and caterers.** Many breweries have no kitchen and book food trucks for the taproom. Trucks can list every brewery in their area and ask about the rotation. See our [food truck list](https://leadraft.co/leads/food-trucks). - **Event, entertainment and merch vendors.** Trivia hosts, live music, yoga-and-beer classes, branded glassware and apparel. Lead with taproom traffic on slow nights. - **Distributors and retailers.** Wholesalers, bottle shops and bars looking for local beer can list every brewery in a region and reach the sales contact. See our [liquor store list](https://leadraft.co/leads/liquor-stores). ## How to segment and qualify a brewery list ### Production breweries vs brewpubs Brewpubs sell most of their beer with food on site and buy like restaurants. Production and taproom breweries buy packaging and work with distributors. Use the category column to split them. ### Taproom-only breweries Taproom breweries without a kitchen are the best leads for food trucks, events and taproom software. Look for Brewery rows with evening and weekend hours and no restaurant category. ### Size Review counts and the number of emails on the site are rough proxies for size. Regional breweries have a sales team and distribution; nano and microbreweries are often one or two people. ### Beyond beer Cideries, meaderies and distilleries share suppliers and customers with breweries. Add those terms if your product fits all of them, or keep them separate. ### Newly opened breweries A new brewery needs equipment, packaging, software, insurance and a website. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach breweries ### Early week, before the taproom opens Brewers brew and clean in the mornings, and taprooms are busiest Thursday to Sunday. Email so it lands Monday to Wednesday before noon. ### Talk like a brewer Use the trade's words: barrels, batches, cans, kegs, distributors. Mention a beer or a release you saw. Generic restaurant pitches get ignored. ### Alcohol rules are their business Breweries operate under federal (TTB) and state alcohol rules, which vary widely by state. Don't make claims about what a brewery can legally do in your pitch; describe your product and let them judge. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find brewery leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Breweries lead lists: questions How do I find brewery leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search terms such as brewery, craft brewery, microbrewery, brewpub and taproom, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each brewery's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many breweries are there in the US? The Brewers Association counted 9,724 breweries in 2025, including 9,578 craft breweries: 3,784 taproom breweries, 3,525 brewpubs, 1,994 microbreweries and 275 regional craft breweries. The Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts 5,218 brewery establishments with paid employees (NAICS 312120), lower because many brewpubs are classified as restaurants or bars. How much does a brewery email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per brewery, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. With 9,724 breweries in the whole country (Brewers Association, 2025), a nationwide list fits one month of the Starter plan ($19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one metro first. Can I get only taproom breweries without kitchens? Roughly, yes. Search brewery and taproom terms, then use the category column to drop Brewpub and restaurant rows. Check the website for a food menu before you pitch, because categories don't always show whether a brewery serves food. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the brewery's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the brewery's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include brewer or owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each brewery publishes on its own website, sometimes a named owner or brewer, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[Brewers Association: National Beer Sales and Production Data](https://www.brewersassociation.org/statistics-and-data/national-beer-stats/) · 9,724 total and 9,578 craft breweries in 2025, with the craft breakdown by type. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 312120, Breweries)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states. 3. 3.[Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB): Beer](https://www.ttb.gov/regulated-commodities/beverage-alcohol/beer) 4. 4.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## See the breweries in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The dealer market has two very different halves. Franchised new-car dealers are large: NADA counted 16,990 franchised light-vehicle dealers in 2025, and the Census Bureau counted 21,910 new car dealer establishments employing 1.13 million people in 2023 (the counts differ because one dealer can run several rooftops). Only 19% of new car establishments have fewer than 10 staff, and many belong to dealer groups that buy software and services centrally. Used car dealers are the opposite: about 25,100 establishments with employees, 87% with fewer than 10 staff, plus many small lots with no payroll. Texas (about 1,720 new and 2,550 used), California, Florida and New York have the most. At a franchised store, buying decisions sit with the general manager, the dealer principal and, for digital tools, the marketing or BDC (business development center) manager. ## How many car dealerships are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 21,908 establishments in **New car dealers (NAICS 441110)** across 50 states (one withheld) in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 2,073 | 9.5% | | 2 | Texas | 1,720 | 7.9% | | 3 | Florida | 1,303 | 5.9% | | 4 | New York | 1,130 | 5.2% | | 5 | Pennsylvania | 1,046 | 4.8% | | 6 | Illinois | 889 | 4.1% | | 7 | Ohio | 873 | 4.0% | | 8 | Michigan | 717 | 3.3% | | 9 | North Carolina | 705 | 3.2% | | 10 | Georgia | 618 | 2.8% | | 11 | New Jersey | 586 | 2.7% | | 12 | Virginia | 563 | 2.6% | | 13 | Wisconsin | 553 | 2.5% | | 14 | Indiana | 497 | 2.3% | | 15 | Massachusetts | 488 | 2.2% | | 16 | Washington | 488 | 2.2% | | 17 | Missouri | 482 | 2.2% | | 18 | Tennessee | 430 | 2.0% | | 19 | Minnesota | 421 | 1.9% | | 20 | Maryland | 379 | 1.7% | | 21 | South Carolina | 366 | 1.7% | | 22 | Alabama | 346 | 1.6% | | 23 | Louisiana | 343 | 1.6% | | 24 | Arizona | 342 | 1.6% | | 25 | Colorado | 339 | 1.5% | | 26 | Iowa | 326 | 1.5% | | 27 | Oregon | 305 | 1.4% | | 28 | Connecticut | 303 | 1.4% | | 29 | Oklahoma | 297 | 1.4% | | 30 | Kentucky | 291 | 1.3% | | 31 | Kansas | 254 | 1.2% | | 32 | Arkansas | 252 | 1.2% | | 33 | Mississippi | 215 | 1.0% | | 34 | Utah | 204 | 0.9% | | 35 | Nebraska | 198 | 0.9% | | 36 | New Hampshire | 163 | 0.7% | | 37 | West Virginia | 160 | 0.7% | | 38 | New Mexico | 139 | 0.6% | | 39 | Maine | 135 | 0.6% | | 40 | Idaho | 132 | 0.6% | | 41 | Montana | 119 | 0.5% | | 42 | Nevada | 118 | 0.5% | | 43 | South Dakota | 113 | 0.5% | | 44 | North Dakota | 83 | 0.4% | | 45 | Delaware | 82 | 0.4% | | 46 | Vermont | 82 | 0.4% | | 47 | Hawaii | 78 | 0.4% | | 48 | Rhode Island | 67 | 0.3% | | 49 | Wyoming | 60 | 0.3% | | 50 | Alaska | 35 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a car dealership lead list Every row is one car dealership business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for car dealerships: | Field | Why it matters for car dealerships | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Dealer websites often publish sales@ or internet@ addresses that feed a CRM's lead routing (ADF/XML intake), so a message may land in a queue rather than with a person. The grade shows whether the mailbox is confirmed (**Verified**) or the domain accepts everything (**Accept-all**, a maybe). | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Franchised dealer sites often list sales, service, parts and finance contacts separately, sometimes by name on a staff page. Role and source let you write to the right department instead of the general lead inbox. | | **category / categories** | Separates franchised brand dealers ("Toyota dealer", "Ford dealer") from used car lots, truck, RV and motorcycle dealers. A floor-plan lender and a reconditioning shop want different subsets. | | **website + website\_platform** | Franchised dealers mostly use dealer website platforms; independents use everything from those to a Facebook page. The website column also lets you group rooftops that belong to one dealer group. | | **rating + reviews** | Dealers watch their reviews closely, and review count is a fair proxy for volume. Low-rated stores are the natural targets for reputation and customer experience tools. | | **hours** | Sales and service often keep different hours. It tells you when the showroom is quiet and whether the store opens Sundays (restricted by law in some states). | | **phone** | The main number usually reaches a receptionist or BDC. Ask for the right manager by title, by hand, and follow TCPA rules for calls and texts. | | **facebook / instagram / youtube** | Dealers spend on social and video. An inactive channel is a talking point for video and social agencies. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every car dealership No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** car dealer, car dealership, new car dealer, used car dealer, pre-owned car dealer, auto dealer, toyota dealer, ford dealer, chevrolet dealer, honda dealer, nissan dealer, hyundai dealer, kia dealer, jeep dealer, subaru dealer, bmw dealer, mercedes-benz dealer, luxury car dealer, truck dealer, buy here pay here dealer, certified pre-owned dealer, electric vehicle dealer, classic car dealer, commercial truck dealer, rv dealer, motorcycle dealer. **Google Maps categories:** Car dealer, Used car dealer, Toyota dealer, Ford dealer, Chevrolet dealer, Honda dealer, Nissan dealer, Hyundai dealer, Truck dealer, Motorcycle dealer, RV dealer. Leadraft includes these in its [Auto keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#auto) (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to car dealerships, and what works - **Dealer software (CRM, DMS add-ons, digital retailing, chat).** Pitch the BDC or internet sales manager on response time to web leads and appointment show rate. Know that many stores are tied to their DMS and CRM by contract, so ask what they run first. - **Automotive marketing and SEO agencies.** Franchised stores already have agencies, so lead with something specific: weak inventory pages, missing Google Business Profile posts, or fewer reviews than the competing brand store nearby. - **Reconditioning, detailing and transport vendors.** Used car managers care about days to frontline-ready. Paintless dent repair, detail, glass and car-hauling firms sell on turn time. - **Floor-plan lenders, warranty and F&I product providers.** Independent used car dealers are the biggest opportunity: fewer existing relationships, owner decides. Segment by used car category and review count. - **Recruiters and training firms.** Salesperson and technician turnover is a constant cost. Offer the general manager a concrete hiring or training plan. ## How to segment and qualify a car dealership list ### Franchised vs independent Brand categories ("Ford dealer") mean franchised stores; "Used car dealer" means independents or a franchise's pre-owned lot. They buy completely differently. ### Dealer groups Group rows by website domain or brand-name pattern. A group with ten rooftops buys at the group level, so contact the group's head office once instead of each store. ### By brand Search brand-specific terms to build a list of, say, every Honda dealer in a region. Brand matters for OEM-certified programs and for agencies that specialize in one brand. ### Buy here pay here BHPH dealers finance in-house and buy GPS trackers, collections software and payment tools. Search the term directly. ### Truck, RV, powersports Commercial truck, RV and motorcycle dealers are separate lists with their own vendors. Search them separately and keep the categories apart. ## How to reach car dealerships ### Expect lead routing A sales@ address on a dealer site often feeds the CRM and may trigger an automated reply. That's not a bounce. For B2B pitches, prefer named or department addresses from the staff page when the list has them, and use the phone to ask for the right manager. ### Avoid month-end and Saturdays The last days of the month are about hitting manufacturer targets, and Saturdays are the busiest sales day. Early in the month, Tuesday to Thursday mornings, is when managers have time. ### Talk in their numbers Dealers think in units, gross per unit, lead response time, appointment show rate and days in inventory. One credible number beats a paragraph of features. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Dealers know the TCPA well because it applies to their own customer texting, so dial by hand and never text without consent. See our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find car dealership leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Car dealerships lead lists: questions How many car dealerships are there in the US? NADA counted 16,990 franchised light-vehicle dealers in its 2025 full-year report. The Census Bureau counted 21,910 new car dealer establishments and 25,147 used car dealer establishments with paid employees in 2023 (County Business Patterns, NAICS 441110 and 441120). The numbers differ because a dealer can operate several rooftops, and Census counts each location. Can I get a car dealership email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area, set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps dealers inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), and you aren't charged for businesses outside it. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the dealer's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the dealer's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a car dealership email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per dealer, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas had about 1,720 new car and 2,550 used car dealer establishments with employees in 2023 (Census), around 4,300 in total. That list fits the Starter plan ($19: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month); for up to 5,000 verified emails at once, use Growth ($49). The Free plan (500 businesses, 50 checked emails) is enough to test one metro. Can I separate franchised dealers from used car lots? Yes. Google Maps files franchised stores under brand categories such as "Ford dealer" or "Toyota dealer" and independents under "Used car dealer". Filter by category in the leads table, or search brand terms only. Why did my email get an automatic reply? Many dealers route their website sales address into a CRM that answers every message automatically, as if you were a car shopper. It means the mailbox works. For vendor pitches, a department or named address, or a call asking for the right manager, gets further. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 441110 New Car Dealers, 441120 Used Car Dealers)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[NADA Data 2025 (full-year report)](https://www.nada.org/nadadata) · "The nation's 16,990 franchised light-vehicle dealers sold 16.2 million light-duty vehicles." 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the car dealerships in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Car washes come in several formats that buy very differently. Express tunnel washes sell monthly memberships and many belong to regional chains with dozens of sites; full-service, hand wash and self-serve washes are more often owned locally. The Census Bureau counted 19,807 car wash establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 811192), led by California (2,231), Texas (1,858), Florida (1,668), New York (964), Illinois (783) and Ohio (716). Washes attached to gas stations and unattended self-serve bays with no payroll aren't all in that count, and neither are most mobile detailers, so Google Maps shows more. Washes are equipment and chemical businesses: owners buy tunnel equipment, chemicals, water reclaim systems, point-of-sale and membership software, and site marketing. ## How many car washes are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 19,807 establishments in **Car washes (NAICS 811192)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for car washes: | Field | Why it matters for car washes | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits car washes from detailers, self-serve bays and truck washes, and shows gas stations with a wash. A tunnel equipment maker and a detailing chemical supplier want different rows. | | **email + grade** | Car washes often publish one contact or memberships address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **website (domain)** | Chains share one brand domain across many sites. Group by domain to separate chains that buy centrally from independent owners who decide on the spot. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a good proxy for traffic. A wash with thousands of reviews is a high-volume site; one with a 3.x rating has a service or equipment problem worth naming. | | **hours** | 24-hour listings point to self-serve or automated sites with little staff. Full-service washes keep daytime hours and have a manager on site to talk to. | | **website + contact\_form** | Washes selling memberships need a site that sells them. No website, or a site with no way to join online, is the opening for web, membership and marketing vendors. | | **address + lat/lng** | Location is the business. Coordinates let you map washes against traffic corridors, new developments or each other, which matters to developers, brokers and chains looking for sites. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** car wash, express car wash, tunnel car wash, full service car wash, hand car wash, self serve car wash, touchless car wash, automatic car wash, 24 hour car wash, car wash membership, unlimited car wash, truck wash, rv wash, fleet washing service, car detailing, auto detailing service, mobile car detailing, mobile car wash, ceramic coating service, paint protection film, interior car cleaning, pet wash and car wash, boat detailing, motorcycle detailing. **Google Maps categories:** Car wash, Self service car wash, Car detailing service, Truck wash, Gas station. Leadraft includes these in its [Auto keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#auto) (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to car washes, and what works - **Car wash equipment makers and distributors.** Tunnel equipment, brushes, dryers, touchless arches and water reclaim. Lead with uptime and parts availability, because a stopped tunnel loses a full day of revenue. - **Chemical and detailing supply companies.** Soaps, waxes, ceramic sealants and towels. Offer a cost-per-car comparison and on-site testing, which owners can measure. - **Membership, point-of-sale and license plate recognition software.** Unlimited plans are the main growth lever for express washes. Pitch more members, less churn and faster lanes at the pay station. - **Local marketing and SEO agencies.** Washes compete on location and reviews. Show the owner how their rating and review count compare with the nearest three washes and where they rank for "car wash near me". - **Brokers, developers and chains buying sites.** Acquirers want independent washes in target metros. Draw the metro as a polygon, filter out chain domains and write to the owner with a respectful, low-pressure note. - **Fleet managers and dealerships.** Fleets and dealers can list every wash and detailer in their area and set up a volume account with the ones close to their lots. ## How to segment and qualify a car wash list ### Express tunnel vs full service vs self serve Search each format by name (express car wash, full service car wash, self serve car wash) and use the category column. Each format buys different equipment and runs a different staffing model. ### Washes vs detailers Detail shops and mobile detailers buy chemicals, coatings and booking software, not tunnel equipment. Search detailing terms separately and keep them as their own list. ### Chains vs independents Group rows by website domain. One domain across many sites is a chain that buys centrally; independents with their own domain or no website decide locally. ### Truck and fleet washes Truck washes and fleet washing services serve trucking companies and municipalities. Search them along freight corridors and pair the list with our [trucking company email list](https://leadraft.co/leads/trucking-companies). ### Newly opened washes New express washes open often and need chemicals, marketing and membership software from day one. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach car washes ### Reach owners, not attendants The person who answers at the site is usually an attendant. Email is the better first step; if you call, ask for the owner or general manager and when they're on site. ### Weather sets the schedule Washes are busiest on sunny days after rain or snow, and weekends. Rainy weekdays are the quiet time when managers catch up on email. ### Lead with cars per day and cost per car Owners track cars washed, revenue per car and chemical cost per car. Offers framed in those numbers land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

How many car washes are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 19,807 car wash establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 811192). California has the most (2,231), then Texas (1,858) and Florida (1,668). Unattended self-serve sites, washes run by gas stations and mobile detailers aren't all in that count, so Google Maps shows more car washes. Can I get a list of only express tunnel car washes? Mostly, yes. Search express car wash and tunnel car wash, then check each row's name and website: Google Maps files most formats under the same Car wash category, so the search term and the business's own site are the best guides. Group by domain to spot express chains. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the business's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a car wash email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 1,858 car washes with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). Even a national list of about 20,000 car washes fits Starter on businesses; if you want 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each business publishes on its own website, often a contact or memberships address and sometimes a named owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 811192, Car Washes)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the car washes in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Carpet cleaning is a small-business trade: one or two trucks, an owner who runs jobs and a phone that books them. The Census Bureau counted 6,671 carpet and upholstery cleaning establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 561740), and at least 87% had fewer than 10 staff. Many more owner-operators have no payroll and don't show up in that count. California (731), Florida (638), Texas (405), Illinois (296), New York (264) and North Carolina (237) have the most. Work is split between homeowners, property managers turning apartments, and commercial carpet maintenance. Many firms add tile and grout, upholstery, rugs and water damage restoration, and some operate under franchise brands. The owner decides on almost every purchase, from chemicals to a new truck-mount unit. ## How many carpet cleaners are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 6,671 establishments in **Carpet and upholstery cleaning services (NAICS 561740)** across 50 states (one withheld) in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 731 | 11.0% | | 2 | Florida | 638 | 9.6% | | 3 | Texas | 405 | 6.1% | | 4 | Illinois | 296 | 4.4% | | 5 | New York | 264 | 4.0% | | 6 | North Carolina | 237 | 3.6% | | 7 | Ohio | 234 | 3.5% | | 8 | Michigan | 229 | 3.4% | | 9 | Colorado | 228 | 3.4% | | 10 | Washington | 214 | 3.2% | | 11 | Pennsylvania | 192 | 2.9% | | 12 | Arizona | 191 | 2.9% | | 13 | Virginia | 188 | 2.8% | | 14 | Georgia | 174 | 2.6% | | 15 | Indiana | 159 | 2.4% | | 16 | New Jersey | 150 | 2.2% | | 17 | Missouri | 130 | 1.9% | | 18 | Oregon | 127 | 1.9% | | 19 | Utah | 119 | 1.8% | | 20 | Minnesota | 118 | 1.8% | | 21 | Wisconsin | 117 | 1.8% | | 22 | Maryland | 114 | 1.7% | | 23 | Tennessee | 111 | 1.7% | | 24 | Nevada | 107 | 1.6% | | 25 | South Carolina | 105 | 1.6% | | 26 | Massachusetts | 85 | 1.3% | | 27 | Idaho | 84 | 1.3% | | 28 | Alabama | 80 | 1.2% | | 29 | Kentucky | 80 | 1.2% | | 30 | Kansas | 76 | 1.1% | | 31 | Oklahoma | 72 | 1.1% | | 32 | Iowa | 70 | 1.0% | | 33 | Nebraska | 56 | 0.8% | | 34 | Louisiana | 52 | 0.8% | | 35 | Arkansas | 45 | 0.7% | | 36 | New Mexico | 45 | 0.7% | | 37 | Connecticut | 42 | 0.6% | | 38 | Montana | 42 | 0.6% | | 39 | North Dakota | 34 | 0.5% | | 40 | South Dakota | 31 | 0.5% | | 41 | Mississippi | 29 | 0.4% | | 42 | Hawaii | 26 | 0.4% | | 43 | Maine | 23 | 0.3% | | 44 | West Virginia | 21 | 0.3% | | 45 | New Hampshire | 20 | 0.3% | | 46 | Wyoming | 19 | 0.3% | | 47 | Delaware | 18 | 0.3% | | 48 | Alaska | 17 | 0.3% | | 49 | Rhode Island | 16 | 0.2% | | 50 | Vermont | 10 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a carpet cleaner lead list Every row is one carpet cleaner business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for carpet cleaners: | Field | Why it matters for carpet cleaners | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Carpet cleaning service is the core category. A second category such as Water damage restoration service or Air duct cleaning service marks a firm that does insurance work and buys different equipment. | | **email + grade** | Most carpet cleaners publish one booking or office address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **website + contact\_form** | Online booking and instant quotes are now common in this trade. A site without them, or no site at all, is the lead for web, SEO and booking vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tracks job volume. Busy, highly rated firms are buying trucks and hiring; low-review firms need marketing. | | **hours** | Firms listing 24 hours usually take emergency water damage calls. That's a clear segment for restoration software and insurance-related offers. | | **phone** | The listed number often rings the owner's mobile in the truck. Call by hand, follow the TCPA, and expect voicemail during jobs. | | **address + service\_area** | Most carpet cleaners are service-area businesses. Use the area and distance columns to keep firms that actually serve your territory. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every carpet cleaner No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** carpet cleaning service, carpet cleaner, carpet cleaning company, steam carpet cleaning, truck mount carpet cleaning, dry carpet cleaning, commercial carpet cleaning, rug cleaning service, oriental rug cleaning, area rug cleaning, upholstery cleaning service, furniture cleaning service, mattress cleaning service, tile and grout cleaning, pet stain and odor removal, carpet stretching and repair, apartment carpet cleaning, water damage restoration service, flood cleanup service, air duct cleaning service, hardwood floor cleaning, auto upholstery cleaning. **Google Maps categories:** Carpet cleaning service, Upholstery cleaning service, Air duct cleaning service, Water damage restoration service, Carpet installer. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to carpet cleaners, and what works - **Equipment and chemical distributors.** Truck-mount units, portable extractors, wands, hoses, pre-sprays and rinses. Owners reorder chemicals constantly and replace equipment every few years; lead with local stock and service. - **Home-service marketing and SEO agencies.** Carpet cleaning is booked from search and reviews. Show the owner their rank for "carpet cleaning near me" and the review counts of the top three nearby firms. - **Booking, routing and field-service software.** Online booking, upsells at checkout (protector, pet treatment), routing and reminders. Pitch more jobs per truck per day. - **Property managers and apartment communities.** Managers who turn units every month need a reliable carpet vendor at a fixed price. List every carpet cleaner near your properties and request quotes. - **Insurance, vehicle and fleet providers.** Trucks are the business. Commercial auto, general liability and fleet financing for a second truck are concrete offers. ## How to segment and qualify a carpet cleaner list ### Carpet-only vs restoration Rows with Water damage restoration service as a category, or 24-hour hours, do insurance work. Keep them separate: they buy drying equipment and estimating software, and they work with adjusters. ### Rug and upholstery specialists Rug cleaning plants and upholstery specialists serve higher-end customers and often have a shop. Search "oriental rug cleaning" and "upholstery cleaning service" separately. ### Residential vs commercial Commercial carpet maintenance firms clean offices on contract and overlap with [janitorial companies](https://leadraft.co/leads/janitorial-companies). Search "commercial carpet cleaning" and check the website's service pages. ### Weak online presence No website, few reviews or a rating under 4.0 marks a firm that needs marketing help. You can name the gap in your first line. ### Franchise vs independent Franchise units share a brand and often a domain. Group by domain: the franchisor sets equipment and software, the unit owner buys local marketing. ## How to reach carpet cleaners ### Reach them before or after jobs Owners run jobs from mid-morning to late afternoon. Emails that land early in the morning or after 4 p.m. get read; calls go better before 9 a.m. ### Know the seasons Spring and the weeks before the holidays are busy; January and February are slow. Equipment and software pitches get more attention in the slow months. ### Lead with jobs and ticket size Owners think in jobs per day and average ticket. Offers framed as one extra job a week or a higher average ticket land better than features. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Many numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find carpet cleaner leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above.

California has the most caterers (1,961), then New York (1,266), Florida (993), Texas (866), Pennsylvania (579) and New Jersey (533).

These are the columns that matter most for caterers: | Field | Why it matters for caterers | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates dedicated caterers from restaurants that cater, banquet halls with in-house catering and personal chefs.

A high count usually means a busy wedding or corporate caterer. | | **address + service\_area** | Many caterers work from a commercial kitchen and travel to events.

Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to caterers, and what works - **Foodservice distributors.** Proteins, produce, dry goods, disposables and chafing fuel, delivered to the commissary. Lead with delivery that fits event days and pricing on what they order every week. - **Party and equipment rental companies.** Tables, linens, chafers, tents and china. Caterers recommend rental partners to clients, so a referral arrangement can matter more than a discount. - **Catering and event software.** Quotes, menus, event orders, staffing and invoicing in one place. Pitch fewer mistakes on event day and faster quotes. - **Event venues and planners.** Venues build preferred-caterer lists and planners need reliable partners. List every caterer in your region and invite the ones that fit your price point. See our [wedding venue list](https://leadraft.co/leads/wedding-venues). - **Corporate buyers and office managers.** Offices choosing a lunch caterer can list every corporate caterer near the office and ask for menus and per-person prices. - **Event staffing agencies.** Caterers hire servers and bartenders per event. Offer reliable staff on short notice, priced per hour, for peak season. ## How to segment and qualify a caterer list ### Wedding and social vs corporate Run wedding and party terms separately from corporate and office terms. Wedding caterers peak on weekends from spring to fall; corporate caterers peak on weekdays all year. Their buying patterns differ. ### Dedicated caterers vs restaurants that cater Use the category column. Dedicated caterers buy event equipment and catering software; restaurants that cater buy through their restaurant suppliers. See our [restaurant list](https://leadraft.co/leads/restaurants). ### Cuisine and dietary specialty Kosher, halal, vegan and specific cuisines are distinct segments with loyal clients and specialty suppliers. Search each term on its own. ### Personal and private chefs Personal chefs are often one-person businesses with home-based service areas. They buy differently, so keep them in their own list. ### Newly opened caterers A new caterer needs a distributor, rental partners, insurance and a website. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach caterers ### Midweek, mid-morning Social caterers work weekends and recover Monday. Corporate caterers are busiest around lunch. Tuesday to Thursday, 9 to 11 a.m., is the best window for both. ### Plan around wedding season Wedding caterers book and buy for the season in winter. Pitch equipment, software and partnerships from November to February, not in June. ### Lead with event-day reliability A caterer's nightmare is a late delivery or a missing server on event day. Offers framed around reliability and backup plans land better than price alone. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find caterer leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Caterers lead lists: questions How do I find caterer leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search catering terms such as caterer, wedding catering, corporate catering, bbq catering and personal chef, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each caterer's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many caterers are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 13,222 caterers with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 722320). Restaurants that cater on the side are counted as restaurants, and one-person caterers without payroll aren't counted, so Google Maps shows more catering businesses than the Census number. How much does a caterer email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. New York has 1,266 caterers with employees (Census 2023). A statewide New York list, even with restaurants that cater added in, fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). For 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city. Can I get only wedding caterers or only corporate caterers? Mostly, yes. Search the terms for that segment (wedding catering, event catering, or corporate catering, office catering) and review the categories and website for each row. Many caterers do both, so expect overlap. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the caterer's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the caterer's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include owner or chef names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each caterer publishes on its own website, often an events or catering address, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 722320, Caterers)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the caterers in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Chiropractic is one of the most owner-operated corners of healthcare. The Census Bureau counts about 39,900 chiropractic offices with paid staff and another 25,300 with none, and the BLS says 36% of chiropractors are self-employed. A typical office is one or two doctors, a front-desk person and maybe a massage therapist. The doctor is also the owner, the marketer and the buyer, which makes decisions fast but attention short. Practices split roughly into insurance-heavy offices (personal injury, Medicare, workers' comp) and cash or membership practices that sell care plans. Franchises and membership chains add multi-location operators whose marketing is set centrally. ## How many chiropractors are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 39,913 establishments in **Offices of chiropractors (NAICS 621310)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 4,182 | 10.5% | | 2 | Florida | 2,937 | 7.4% | | 3 | Texas | 2,596 | 6.5% | | 4 | New York | 1,814 | 4.5% | | 5 | Illinois | 1,799 | 4.5% | | 6 | Pennsylvania | 1,680 | 4.2% | | 7 | Minnesota | 1,334 | 3.3% | | 8 | Michigan | 1,331 | 3.3% | | 9 | Georgia | 1,313 | 3.3% | | 10 | Washington | 1,245 | 3.1% | | 11 | Ohio | 1,240 | 3.1% | | 12 | New Jersey | 1,131 | 2.8% | | 13 | Wisconsin | 1,079 | 2.7% | | 14 | Colorado | 1,068 | 2.7% | | 15 | North Carolina | 1,047 | 2.6% | | 16 | Missouri | 920 | 2.3% | | 17 | Iowa | 872 | 2.2% | | 18 | Arizona | 860 | 2.2% | | 19 | Virginia | 752 | 1.9% | | 20 | Oregon | 743 | 1.9% | | 21 | Tennessee | 668 | 1.7% | | 22 | Indiana | 661 | 1.7% | | 23 | Massachusetts | 636 | 1.6% | | 24 | South Carolina | 631 | 1.6% | | 25 | Kansas | 586 | 1.5% | | 26 | Utah | 506 | 1.3% | | 27 | Oklahoma | 488 | 1.2% | | 28 | Kentucky | 476 | 1.2% | | 29 | Alabama | 447 | 1.1% | | 30 | Nebraska | 446 | 1.1% | | 31 | Maryland | 431 | 1.1% | | 32 | Louisiana | 405 | 1.0% | | 33 | Arkansas | 365 | 0.9% | | 34 | Connecticut | 355 | 0.9% | | 35 | Idaho | 333 | 0.8% | | 36 | Nevada | 325 | 0.8% | | 37 | South Dakota | 254 | 0.6% | | 38 | Montana | 238 | 0.6% | | 39 | North Dakota | 236 | 0.6% | | 40 | New Mexico | 186 | 0.5% | | 41 | Maine | 182 | 0.5% | | 42 | New Hampshire | 162 | 0.4% | | 43 | Mississippi | 152 | 0.4% | | 44 | Alaska | 143 | 0.4% | | 45 | Delaware | 125 | 0.3% | | 46 | West Virginia | 118 | 0.3% | | 47 | Hawaii | 105 | 0.3% | | 48 | Rhode Island | 103 | 0.3% | | 49 | Wyoming | 101 | 0.3% | | 50 | Vermont | 87 | 0.2% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 19 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a chiropractor lead list Every row is one chiropractor business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for chiropractors: | Field | Why it matters for chiropractors | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Most offices are filed under "Chiropractor"; secondary categories like "Massage therapist" or "Physical therapy clinic" mark integrated practices with more services, more staff and bigger budgets. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Chiropractic sites usually publish a front-desk inbox (info@, frontdesk@) and sometimes the doctor's own address. Up to 5 emails with role and source let you pick the doctor's address for a business pitch. Only Verified and Accept-all are exported. | | **website and website\_platform** | Many offices run template sites from chiropractic marketing vendors or simple site builders. The platform column helps web and SEO agencies spot who is on a template they can replace. | | **rating and reviews** | New-patient flow in this trade runs on Google reviews. An office with 30 reviews in a town where the leader has 600 is the clearest reputation and review-generation pitch there is. | | **hours** | Chiropractors keep unusual hours (early mornings, Saturday, closed midweek afternoons). Hours tell you when the front desk answers and when the doctor is adjusting patients and won't pick up. | | **contact\_form** | Practices that take new patients only through a booking or contact form are a direct fit for online scheduling and chat vendors. | | **facebook, instagram, youtube** | Cash practices market heavily on Facebook and Instagram (workshops, posture screenings, care-plan offers). Active social profiles mark offices that already spend on marketing. | | **address, city, state, in\_area** | Scope of practice and insurance rules vary by state, and many vendors sell territory-based programs. The area fence keeps your list to the counties you actually serve. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every chiropractor No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** chiropractor, chiropractic clinic, chiropractic office, chiropractic center, sports chiropractor, family chiropractor, pediatric chiropractor, prenatal chiropractor, webster technique chiropractor, upper cervical chiropractor, auto accident chiropractor, personal injury chiropractor, spinal decompression, back pain clinic, neck pain treatment, sciatica treatment, spine and wellness center, corrective chiropractic, walk in chiropractor, chiropractic and massage. **Google Maps categories:** Chiropractor, Wellness center, Pain control clinic, Sports medicine clinic, Physical therapy clinic, Massage therapist, Acupuncture clinic. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to chiropractors, and what works - **Healthcare marketing and SEO agencies.** New patients are the only metric chiropractors care about. Lead with one local fact: who ranks for "chiropractor \[city\]" and how many reviews they have compared with this office. - **Practice software (EHR, scheduling, billing, patient reminders).** Segment insurance-heavy offices from cash practices. Insurance offices care about claims and documentation time; cash practices care about care-plan billing and no-shows. - **Equipment suppliers (tables, decompression, lasers, X-ray).** Integrated and multi-doctor offices buy equipment; solos buy used or finance it. Review count and secondary categories help you tell them apart. - **Insurance billing and credentialing services.** Target offices that list personal injury, auto accident or Medicare work. Outsourced billing pitches land with doctors who do their own claims at night. - **Practice coaches, consultants and continuing-education providers.** The trade has a strong coaching culture. Short, specific emails tied to a local event or a seminar date outperform generic offers. ## How to segment and qualify a chiropractor list ### Solo vs multi-doctor offices There's no headcount field, but review count, multiple categories and several emails on the site usually point to a bigger office. Solos get a simpler, cheaper offer. ### Insurance-heavy vs cash practices Search "auto accident chiropractor" and "personal injury chiropractor" separately from "family chiropractor" and "wellness center". The keyword that found the office says a lot about its business model. ### Specialty niches Pediatric, prenatal (Webster technique), sports and upper cervical practices market to specific audiences. Run one search line per niche and keep them as separate lists with separate messages. ### Weak review profiles Filter for offices under 50 reviews or under 4.5 stars in a city where the top offices have hundreds. That's the review-generation and reputation list. ### No website or a template site Filter for rows with no website, or group by website\_platform. An office that relies on its Maps listing alone is the easiest web design pitch. ### Newly opened offices Recent graduates often open their own office within a few years. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your territory sends only newly listed practices, which need equipment, software and marketing at once. ## How to reach chiropractors ### Catch the doctor between patients Chiropractors see patients in tight blocks, often 7 to 11 am and 3 to 7 pm. Email lands best around midday or early evening, and calls are best during the midday break. Many offices are closed one afternoon a week; check the hours column. ### Keep it B2B and away from patient data You're emailing the business, not its patients. Never ask for or send patient information. If your product stores or processes patient records, expect to be asked for a HIPAA business associate agreement (BAA) before anything goes live. CAN-SPAM applies to the emails themselves: honest subject, postal address, working opt-out. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your program. ### Lead with new patients, in numbers they can check Chiropractors get pitched constantly, often with big promises. A plain, checkable observation ("you have 41 reviews, the office two miles away has 380") reads as more honest than any claimed result. ### Franchise and membership locations Locations of chiropractic franchises and membership chains often can't buy local marketing or software on their own. Group them by name, and pitch the franchisor or the multi-unit owner rather than each office. ## How to find chiropractor leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Chiropractors lead lists: questions How many chiropractors are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 39,900 offices of chiropractors with paid employees (NAICS 621310), plus about 25,300 chiropractic businesses with no paid employees in its 2023 Nonemployer Statistics. The BLS counts 61,700 chiropractor jobs in 2025, 36% of them self-employed. Google Maps lists both staffed and solo offices. Can I get a chiropractor email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include offices just outside it. You can also limit the search to a niche, such as pediatric chiropractors in Maricopa County, Arizona. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the practice's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts every address, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. See [how catch-all emails work](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained). How much does a chiropractor email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per office, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a search of Florida finds 3,500 chiropractic offices and you export 900 verified emails, that's 3,500 business credits and 900 checked-email credits, which fits in Starter at $19. Offices you already have are never charged again. Does the list include the chiropractor's name? Not as a separate field. You get the practice, its contact details and up to 5 emails from its website with the role of each address. In small offices the doctor's own address is often one of them. Can I separate chiropractors from physical therapists and massage therapists? Yes. Each row keeps its Google Maps category and all secondary categories, so you can filter to "Chiropractor" only or keep integrated clinics that list several services. Off-trade results are shown but never charged or exported. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 621310)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Establishments with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2023 Nonemployer Statistics (US file, NAICS 62131)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/nonemployer-statistics/datasets/2023/historical-datasets/nonemp23us.zip) · Businesses with no paid employees. 3. 3.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Chiropractors](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/chiropractors.htm) 4. 4.[HHS, Business Associates under HIPAA](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/business-associates/index.html) ## See the chiropractors in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

There's no official directory of US churches, so counts are estimates. The Hartford Institute puts the total at about 373,000 congregations, between the US Religion Census 2020 count of 356,642 and higher survey-based estimates. The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counts about 186,000 religious organizations, but only those with paid employees; many small congregations have none. Most churches are small: the median congregation has about 70 regular participants. A small church may have one part-time pastor and a volunteer treasurer; a large one has an executive pastor, a business administrator and department heads. Spending runs on an annual budget approved by a board, elders, a vestry or a congregational vote, and giving is the only income for most. ## How many churches are there in each state? Texas, California and Pennsylvania have the most. The Census Bureau counted 186,801 establishments in **Religious organizations (NAICS 813110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

Up to 5 emails per church, each with role and source, let you reach the pastor or administrator instead of a generic inbox. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **hours** | Service times and office hours show how active a church is during the week. A church with weekday office hours has staff to talk to; one open only on Sunday likely runs on volunteers. | | **reviews and rating** | Review count is a rough proxy for attendance and visitor traffic. A church with hundreds of reviews is likely large enough to have a budget for software, AV or facilities work. | | **website and website\_platform** | Many small churches run on an old site, a free site builder or a Facebook page alone. That's the list for church web design, and the platform column shows what a site runs on where it can be detected. | | **facebook and youtube** | Churches that stream services usually link YouTube or Facebook. Those are the prospects for streaming gear, AV installation and video services. | | **address, city, state, postal\_code** | Facility services, roofing, HVAC and insurance are local. Address also helps you merge or separate churches that share a campus with a school or daycare. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every church No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** church, baptist church, southern baptist church, catholic church, methodist church, united methodist church, lutheran church, presbyterian church, episcopal church, pentecostal church, assemblies of god church, church of christ, nondenominational church, evangelical church, bible church, community church, african methodist episcopal church, seventh-day adventist church, orthodox church, spanish church, christian church, place of worship. **Google Maps categories:** Church, Baptist church, Catholic church, Methodist church, United Methodist church, Lutheran church, Presbyterian church, Episcopal church, Pentecostal church, Assemblies of God church, Church of Christ, Non-denominational church, Evangelical church, Seventh-day Adventist church, Christian church, Place of worship. ## Who sells to churches, and what works - **Church management and online giving software.** Small churches want simple giving and member records; large ones want check-in, groups and reporting. Lead with what it costs per month and how long setup takes, and be honest about fees on donations. - **Audio, video and livestream installers.** Churches that started streaming and still use the original setup are the market. Use the YouTube and Facebook links to find them, and offer a site visit, not a catalog. - **Church web design and communications agencies.** A church with no site, or one that hasn't been updated in years, is losing visitors who search on Sunday morning. Show the specific problem, such as service times missing from the homepage. - **Roofing, HVAC, parking lot and facility contractors.** Older buildings and big rooms used one day a week have expensive upkeep. Capital projects are planned a year ahead and approved by a board, so time the pitch before budget season. - **Insurance, payroll and nonprofit accounting firms.** Clergy payroll and housing allowance rules are unusual, and many small churches handle them by hand. A clear, plain explanation of what you do and what it costs works. - **Event, wedding and community-program partners.** Many churches rent their fellowship hall or sanctuary for weddings, recitals and community events. Caterers, photographers and planners can ask to be on their recommended list. ## How to segment and qualify a church list ### By denomination Run one search line per denomination and keep the category column. Governance differs: a Catholic parish answers to a diocese, a United Methodist church to a conference, while a nondenominational church usually decides for itself. ### By size There's no attendance figure in the data, so use review count and hours as proxies. Weekday office hours plus a few hundred reviews usually means paid staff and a real budget. ### Churches without a website Filter for rows with no website but a Facebook link. Those churches rely on Facebook alone and are the clearest web design prospects. ### Churches that livestream Filter for a YouTube link. Streaming churches buy cameras, audio, lighting and sometimes production help. ### Churches with schools or daycares Search "christian preschool" and "christian school" alongside "church" and look for matching names and addresses. A shared campus means larger facilities and more complex insurance and safety needs. ## How to reach churches ### Respect who you're writing to Churches are nonprofits and community organizations, and many pastors get a lot of vendor email. Be plain and respectful, skip sales tricks and fake urgency, and don't use religious language you wouldn't use in person. One clear sentence on what you do and why it fits their church works best. ### Know who decides and when The pastor usually starts the conversation, but a board, elders, vestry or finance committee often approves spending, and some denominations need a regional body's sign-off for buildings. Budgets are commonly set in the fall for the next year. Pitch large projects in late summer and early fall. ### Avoid the busy seasons Christmas and Easter are the busiest weeks of the year for church staff. Don't send in December or Holy Week. Mondays are often the pastor's day off, and Sunday is never a good day; Tuesday to Thursday mornings are best. ### Nonprofit doesn't mean exempt from CAN-SPAM When you email a church to sell something, it's a commercial message under CAN-SPAM: truthful subject line, real postal address and a working opt-out. Personal addresses of staff and volunteers need extra care. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your own program. ## How to find church leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Churches lead lists: questions How many churches are there in the US? There's no official count. The Hartford Institute for Religion Research estimates about 373,000 religious congregations in the US, between the US Religion Census 2020 count of 356,642 and higher survey estimates. The Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 186,000 religious organizations with paid employees (NAICS 813110), which leaves out many small congregations. Can I get a church email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include churches just outside it. You can also limit the search to one denomination, such as Baptist churches in Tennessee. Are the emails verified? Each email comes from the church's own website and is checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. Small churches without a website may come with a phone number but no email. How much does a church email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per church, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a statewide search in Georgia finds 9,000 churches and you export 3,000 verified emails, that's 9,000 business credits and 3,000 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49. Can I filter churches by denomination? Mostly. Many churches choose a denomination category on Google Maps, and that's kept in the category columns. Others just use "Church", so search denomination names as well and check the business name, which often includes it. Does the list include synagogues, mosques and temples? Only if you search for them. Add "synagogue", "mosque" or "hindu temple" as search lines, or use "place of worship" to catch congregations filed under the general category. ## Sources 1. 1.[Hartford Institute for Religion Research, Fast Facts about American Religion](https://hirr.hartfordinternational.edu/research/fast-facts/) · Estimate of US congregations; cites the US Religion Census 2020 count and median congregation size. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 813110)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Religious organizations with paid employees only. 3. 3.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## See the churches in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Cleaning splits into two businesses that share a NAICS code. Residential cleaners (house cleaning and maid services) sell to homeowners, often recurring weekly or biweekly visits. Commercial and janitorial contractors clean offices, medical buildings, schools and retail on contract, usually at night. The Census Bureau counted about 67,800 janitorial and maid service establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 561720 covers both), and 77% had fewer than 10 staff. Many more owner-only cleaners have no payroll and don't appear in that count at all. California (about 7,000 establishments) and Florida (6,700) lead, then Texas (3,900), New York (3,800), Illinois (2,500) and Pennsylvania (2,500). Franchise brands are common in both halves of the market, and their local units often buy through the franchisor. ## How many cleaning services are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 67,799 establishments in **Janitorial services (NAICS 561720)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for cleaning services: | Field | Why it matters for cleaning services | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | The single most important split: House cleaning service vs Commercial cleaning service and Janitorial service. Supply distributors and janitorial software sell to commercial firms; booking apps and home-service marketing sell to residential ones. | | **email + grade** | Cleaning companies usually publish one office or booking address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger janitorial firms list separate addresses for sales, bids, careers and billing. The role and the page each was found on help you skip the jobs inbox and reach the person who buys. | | **website + contact\_form** | Residential cleaners live on online booking. A site without a booking or quote form, or no site at all, is the lead for web and booking-software vendors. The contact form column tells you where else to reach them. | | **rating + reviews** | Residential cleaners with many recent reviews are busy and hiring; those with few reviews need marketing. For commercial firms, reviews are fewer and matter less, so don't filter them out on review count alone. | | **phone** | Owners take booking calls all day. The listed number is often a mobile, so dial by hand and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Most cleaners are service-area businesses run from home. Use the area and distance columns to keep only companies that serve your territory. | | **hours** | Commercial cleaners often list evening hours or 24 hours. That's a quick signal for who does after-hours janitorial work. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every cleaning service No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** house cleaning service, maid service, home cleaning service, residential cleaning service, deep cleaning service, move out cleaning service, move in cleaning, apartment cleaning service, airbnb cleaning service, vacation rental cleaning, post construction cleaning, commercial cleaning service, janitorial service, office cleaning service, medical office cleaning, building maintenance service, floor care service, carpet cleaning service, upholstery cleaning service, window cleaning service, pressure washing service, tile and grout cleaning, disinfection service, biohazard cleanup, water damage restoration service. **Google Maps categories:** House cleaning service, Commercial cleaning service, Janitorial service, Carpet cleaning service, Upholstery cleaning service, Window cleaning service, Pressure washing service, Water damage restoration service. Leadraft includes these in its [Commercial services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#commercial-services) (57 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to cleaning services, and what works - **Janitorial supply distributors.** Chemicals, paper, liners, floor machines and equipment. Target commercial and janitorial rows, lead with delivery and pricing on the consumables they reorder every month. - **Cleaning business software.** Booking, scheduling, recurring billing, crew routing and quality inspections. Residential owners want fewer no-shows and less time on the phone; janitorial firms want inspection reports their clients can see. - **Marketing, SEO and lead-gen agencies.** Residential cleaning is local and review-driven. Show the owner where they rank for "house cleaning near me" and how many reviews the top three competitors have. - **Insurance and bonding providers.** Cleaners need general liability, workers' comp and janitorial bonds to win contracts. A fast quote and a clear certificate-of-insurance process is the hook. - **Facility managers and offices hiring a cleaner.** Buyers putting a contract out to bid can list every janitorial contractor in the area and invite quotes, instead of relying on the first page of search results. - **Staffing and payroll services.** Turnover is high in cleaning. Reach owners with a concrete offer on time-to-hire or payroll for part-time crews. ## How to segment and qualify a cleaning service list ### Residential vs commercial Run separate searches for house cleaning terms and janitorial terms, then use the category column to tag each row. They have different buyers, budgets and schedules, and one email rarely fits both. Each half has its own page: [janitorial companies](https://leadraft.co/leads/janitorial-companies) and [house cleaning services](https://leadraft.co/leads/house-cleaning-services). ### Specialty cleaners Carpet, window, pressure washing, post-construction and restoration companies buy equipment and trucks, not just supplies. Search those terms separately and keep them as their own segment. See the [carpet cleaner list](https://leadraft.co/leads/carpet-cleaners) for that trade on its own. ### Franchise vs independent Franchise units share a brand name and often a website domain. Group by domain: franchise units may buy through head office, so pitch the franchisor for software and supplies and the local owner for local marketing. ### Short-term rental cleaners Airbnb and vacation-rental cleaners cluster in tourist markets and need turnover scheduling and linen services. Search "airbnb cleaning service" and "vacation rental cleaning" in beach and mountain towns. ### Growth signals Residential cleaners with strong review counts and a rating above 4.5 are usually growing and hiring. Combine that with a weak website for a sharp marketing pitch. ### Newly opened companies New cleaning businesses open constantly. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps, when they need insurance, supplies, software and a website. ## How to reach cleaning services ### Residential owners clean during the day Many small residential owners still clean houses themselves from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Send so your email lands in the evening, and call late afternoon. ### Commercial firms work nights, sell days Janitorial crews work after hours, but the owner or office handles bids and sales during the day. Mid-morning calls and emails tend to reach them, and a sales@ or bids@ address goes to the right person. ### Lead with their numbers Cleaning is a margin business. Offers framed as cost per clean, hours saved per week or contracts won land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Cleaning services lead lists: questions How many cleaning companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 67,799 janitorial and maid service establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 561720), plus 6,671 carpet and upholstery cleaners (NAICS 561740). Owner-only cleaners with no payroll aren't in those numbers, so Google Maps usually shows more cleaning businesses than the Census count. Can I get a list of only commercial or janitorial cleaning companies? Yes. Search janitorial and commercial terms (janitorial service, office cleaning service, commercial cleaning service) and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can keep House cleaning service rows out of a commercial list, or the other way round. Can I get a cleaning company email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only businesses inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose). Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the business's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a cleaning company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has about 6,700 janitorial and maid service establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Florida-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each business publishes on its own website, often an office or booking address and sometimes a named owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 561720 Janitorial Services; 561740 Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Janitors and Building Cleaners](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/building-and-grounds-cleaning/janitors-and-building-cleaners.htm) · 2,432,600 jobs in 2025, across all industries (many janitors work in-house, not for cleaning firms). 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the cleaning services in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Coffee shops sit in the Census category for snack and nonalcoholic beverage bars (NAICS 722515), which counted about 85,100 businesses with employees in 2023. That code also covers donut shops, ice cream and frozen yogurt shops, and juice and smoothie bars, so the pure coffee count is lower, and it leaves out owner-only kiosks and carts with no payroll. California leads (about 13,400), then Texas (7,500), New York (7,200), Florida (4,600) and Washington (3,100). The market splits between big chains, drive-thru franchises and a long tail of independent cafes and small local groups. Independents are owner-operated: the person who pulls shots on Saturday also picks the roaster, the milk supplier and the POS. That makes them reachable, but they are careful with money and loyal once they choose. ## How many coffee shops are there in each state? California, Texas and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 85,140 establishments in **Snack and nonalcoholic beverage bars (NAICS 722515)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for coffee shops: | Field | Why it matters for coffee shops | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Most independents publish one address (hello@, info@, or a Gmail) that the owner reads. The grade tells you whether it's a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts any address (**Accept-all**, a maybe, never a yes). | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Shops with wholesale, catering or a roastery list separate addresses for wholesale, events or careers. A roaster pitching wholesale should write to wholesale@ if it exists, not the general inbox. | | **category / categories** | Separates coffee-first shops from bakeries, bubble tea and juice bars. Roasters and espresso machine techs want the coffee-first rows; a pastry wholesaler may want both cafes and bakeries. | | **hours** | Coffee shops are morning businesses. Hours show who closes at 2pm, who stays open into the evening (often with beer, wine or events) and who opens at 5am for commuters. That is both a segment and a guide to when to call. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a fair proxy for foot traffic. High-volume shops are worth a sales visit; a newer shop with few reviews is a lead for marketing and loyalty tools. | | **instagram / tiktok** | Cafes market on Instagram more than almost any other trade. A shop with a strong feed cares about latte art, cups and interiors; one with no profile is a lead for social media help. | | **website** | Many cafes have only an Instagram page or a listing. No website is the opening for web design, online ordering and gift card offers. | | **address + lat/lng + distance** | Roasters, bakeries and milk distributors deliver on routes. Coordinates and distance from your base let you keep a delivery or sales route tight. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every coffee shop No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** coffee shop, cafe, espresso bar, coffee house, specialty coffee shop, coffee roasters, drive thru coffee, coffee kiosk, coffee cart, independent coffee shop, bakery cafe, bagel shop, donut shop, tea house, bubble tea shop, juice bar, smoothie shop, breakfast cafe, internet cafe, cat cafe, cafe and bakery, matcha cafe. **Google Maps categories:** Coffee shop, Cafe, Espresso bar, Coffee roasters, Coffee stand, Bakery, Tea house, Bubble tea store, Donut shop, Juice shop, Bagel shop, Breakfast restaurant. Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to coffee shops, and what works - **Specialty coffee roasters (wholesale).** Offer a free tasting or a sample bag and say what support comes with the account: barista training, equipment loans, delivery days. Target independents within your delivery radius and skip chain rows. - **Espresso machine sales and service.** Breakdowns stop the business. Lead with response time and a preventive maintenance plan, and name the machine brands you service. - **Bakeries and food wholesalers.** Pastries, sandwiches and grab-and-go raise the ticket. Offer a trial delivery for a week, priced per item, and target shops that are open past lunch. - **POS, loyalty and mobile ordering software.** Speak to the morning line: faster checkout, order-ahead, a punch card that lives on the phone. Owners care about fees per transaction, so put the number up front. - **Packaging, cups and merch suppliers.** Branded cups, sleeves and bags. Shops with strong Instagram feeds are the best fit; show a mock-up with their logo. - **Local marketing and design agencies.** Name the gap you can see: no website, a menu that isn't online, fewer reviews than the shop down the street. ## How to segment and qualify a coffee shop list ### Independents vs chains Group rows by website domain and name. A domain shared by many rows is a chain or franchise; the rest are independents and small local groups, which is where roasters and local suppliers win. ### Coffee-first vs everything else Keep Coffee shop, Cafe, Espresso bar and Coffee roasters for coffee buyers. Add Bakery, Bagel shop and Donut shop if you sell food or packaging. Leave out bubble tea and juice unless they're your market. ### By hours Morning-only shops (closing by 3pm), all-day cafes, and evening cafes that host events or serve wine. Evening shops buy more food, music and event services. ### Drive-thru and kiosks Search "drive thru coffee" and "coffee kiosk" separately. These are high-volume, small-footprint operations with different equipment and staffing needs. ### Newly opened shops A new cafe chooses its roaster, machine, POS and suppliers before opening and in its first months. Set up a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area to get new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach coffee shops ### Avoid the morning rush Don't call or walk in before 11am. Early afternoon (about 1pm to 3pm) on a weekday is the quiet window, and morning-only shops are closed by mid-afternoon, so check the hours column first. ### Write to the owner like a peer Independent owners are coffee people. Short, specific emails that mention their shop, their menu or a recent post do far better than a generic pitch. Offer a sample, not a meeting. ### Expect a slow, loyal buyer Switching roaster or machine is a big decision for a small shop. Plan for several touches across a few weeks and a tasting before a yes. Once they switch, they tend to stay. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, and many cafes list the owner's cell, so call by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Coffee shops lead lists: questions How many coffee shops are there in the US? There's no exact official count. The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 85,140 snack and nonalcoholic beverage bars with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 722515), a category that includes coffee shops along with donut, ice cream, juice and smoothie shops. Owner-only carts and kiosks aren't included. A Google Maps search for your area gives you the actual shops listed there. Can I get a coffee shop email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only shops inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), which suits roasters with a fixed delivery radius. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the shop's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the shop's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a coffee shop email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per shop, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Washington had about 3,100 snack and beverage bars with employees in 2023 (Census). A statewide list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month). The Free plan's 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month is enough to test one city. Can I find coffee shops that roast their own beans or sell wholesale? Search "coffee roasters" alongside "coffee shop" and check the categories column, where roasters usually list Coffee roasters. Rows with a wholesale@ email or a wholesale page as the email source are likely selling to other cafes, which matters if they're a competitor or a partner. Do you include the owner's name or personal email? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails the shop publishes on its own website, each with its role and source, plus the phone, hours and social profiles from its Google Maps listing. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 722515, Snack and Nonalcoholic Beverage Bars)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025.

Concrete is a contractor trade with a wide spread in size. The Census Bureau counted 23,350 poured concrete foundation and structure contractor establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 238110), employing about 273,000 people, and at least 77% had fewer than 10 staff. A smaller group of large firms does commercial structures and tilt-up work. California (2,163), Texas (1,858) and Florida (1,823) lead, then Washington (876), Ohio (853), New York (816) and Illinois (803). Residential driveways, patios and sidewalks are mostly classified elsewhere by the Census (other specialty trades), so flatwork crews add to that count on Google Maps. Buyers fall into three groups: homeowners for flatwork and decorative work, home builders for foundations and slabs, and general contractors for commercial pours. Owners usually price jobs and buy materials themselves. ## How many concrete contractors are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 23,350 establishments in **Poured concrete foundation and structure contractors (NAICS 238110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for concrete contractors: | Field | Why it matters for concrete contractors | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Concrete contractor is the core category; Masonry contractor and Paving contractor mark firms with a different mix of work. Use them to split flatwork, foundations and hardscape. | | **email + grade** | Small concrete firms often publish one office address or the owner's Gmail. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so it's a maybe. | | **website** | Project galleries show whether a firm pours driveways and patios or commercial slabs and foundations. Many smaller crews have no website and work from referrals. | | **rating + reviews** | Homeowner-facing flatwork firms collect reviews; commercial and builder-facing firms often have few. Don't drop low-review rows if you sell to commercial contractors. | | **address + distance** | Concrete is local because trucks are. Use distance to keep contractors within reach of your plant, yard or project sites. | | **phone** | Owners are on job sites from early morning. Calls before 7 a.m. or after 4 p.m. reach them; follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** concrete contractor, concrete company, concrete foundation contractor, foundation contractor, concrete driveway contractor, concrete patio contractor, sidewalk contractor, concrete flatwork, stamped concrete contractor, decorative concrete, exposed aggregate concrete, concrete slab contractor, commercial concrete contractor, tilt up concrete contractor, concrete repair service, concrete leveling service, mudjacking service, concrete resurfacing, concrete cutting service, concrete pumping service, retaining wall contractor, curb and gutter contractor, concrete coatings. **Google Maps categories:** Concrete contractor, Masonry contractor, Paving contractor, Concrete product supplier. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to concrete contractors, and what works - **Ready-mix producers and material suppliers.** Ready-mix, rebar, forms, sealers and admixtures. Contractors choose a plant on reliability and dispatch; lead with your delivery windows and who answers the phone at 5 a.m. - **Equipment dealers and rental companies.** Power trowels, screeds, saws, skid steers, pumps. Target firms by size proxies and offer rental-to-own or service contracts. - **Home builders and general contractors.** Builders and GCs looking for foundation or flatwork subs can list every concrete contractor near their projects and ask for availability and pricing. - **Marketing and lead-gen agencies.** Driveway and patio work comes from search and photos. Show the owner where they rank for "concrete contractor near me" and what a project gallery does for quotes. - **Estimating, financing and insurance providers.** Takeoff and estimating software, equipment financing, general liability and commercial auto for trucks. Lead with time per bid or cost per truck. ## How to segment and qualify a concrete contractor list ### Residential flatwork vs foundations vs commercial Search driveway, patio and stamped terms separately from foundation and commercial terms, and keep the search term on each row. Each group buys from different suppliers and sells to different customers. ### Decorative and coatings specialists Stamped, exposed aggregate, polished and epoxy firms buy sealers, coatings and color systems. Keep them as their own segment; some overlap with [flooring contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/flooring-contractors). ### Repair and leveling Mudjacking, foam leveling and repair firms run small, quick jobs and buy equipment and foam. Search those terms separately. ### By distance from your yard Draw a radius around your plant or yard. Concrete supply and rentals are local, so a tight radius beats a statewide list. ### New concrete companies A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your market flags new concrete listings on Google Maps, when the owner is picking a ready-mix supplier and insurer. ## How to reach concrete contractors ### Early mornings and evenings Pours start early. Owners check email before dawn or in the evening; schedule sends for those windows and call before 7 a.m. or after 4 p.m. ### Weather and season In the North, pours slow or stop in winter, and that's when owners plan, buy equipment and talk to new suppliers. In the South, rainy weeks are a good time to call. ### Talk in yards and days Concrete people think in cubic yards, days and crews. Frame offers as cost per yard, a day saved per job, or jobs per crew per week. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA.

Choose the area, then search Google Maps for every variant: concrete contractor, foundation contractor, concrete driveway contractor, stamped concrete contractor, commercial concrete contractor and concrete leveling service. Remove duplicates, keep the on-trade rows, and find and check an email for each company. Leadraft does those steps in one search and charges each company once. How many concrete contractors are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 23,350 poured concrete foundation and structure contractor establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 238110). Flatwork crews that mostly pour driveways and patios are often classified under other specialty trades, and owner-operators with no payroll aren't counted, so Google Maps shows more. Can I get only residential driveway and patio contractors? Yes. Search the flatwork and decorative terms, then filter by search term and category. Leadraft records the Google Maps categories for each company, and the website's project pages show what they pour. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a concrete contractor email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 1,858 concrete foundation and structure contractors with employees (Census 2023), which fits in the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, with 1,000 checked emails). The whole US count of 23,350 also fits in Starter; for up to 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49) covers it. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people.

Convenience retail is mostly small operators. NACS and NIQ counted 151,975 convenience stores at the end of 2025, and 63% of them belong to companies with 10 or fewer stores. Most (80.7%) sell fuel. The Census Bureau's convenience store code (NAICS 445120, 36,992 establishments with employees in 2023) leaves out gas stations with convenience stores, which Census files separately, so the NACS count is the better measure of the whole market. Texas has the most stores by far (16,504 in the NACS count), followed by California, Florida, New York and Georgia. Many independent owners run two or three locations and decide on suppliers, equipment and services themselves; fuel-branded stores may also buy some programs through their fuel supplier or jobber. ## How many convenience stores are there in each state? New York, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 36,992 establishments in **Convenience stores (NAICS 445120)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | New York | 4,264 | 11.5% | | 2 | Texas | 3,965 | 10.7% | | 3 | Florida | 3,208 | 8.7% | | 4 | California | 3,112 | 8.4% | | 5 | Georgia | 1,899 | 5.1% | | 6 | Massachusetts | 1,750 | 4.7% | | 7 | Ohio | 1,527 | 4.1% | | 8 | Pennsylvania | 1,515 | 4.1% | | 9 | New Jersey | 1,467 | 4.0% | | 10 | Virginia | 1,438 | 3.9% | | 11 | Oregon | 975 | 2.6% | | 12 | North Carolina | 909 | 2.5% | | 13 | Illinois | 845 | 2.3% | | 14 | Michigan | 842 | 2.3% | | 15 | Maryland | 837 | 2.3% | | 16 | South Carolina | 681 | 1.8% | | 17 | Washington | 678 | 1.8% | | 18 | Tennessee | 675 | 1.8% | | 19 | Louisiana | 606 | 1.6% | | 20 | Connecticut | 457 | 1.2% | | 21 | Alabama | 423 | 1.1% | | 22 | Mississippi | 391 | 1.1% | | 23 | Arizona | 357 | 1.0% | | 24 | Nevada | 349 | 0.9% | | 25 | Kentucky | 329 | 0.9% | | 26 | Colorado | 302 | 0.8% | | 27 | Indiana | 302 | 0.8% | | 28 | Missouri | 302 | 0.8% | | 29 | New Hampshire | 239 | 0.6% | | 30 | Maine | 210 | 0.6% | | 31 | Oklahoma | 184 | 0.5% | | 32 | Utah | 181 | 0.5% | | 33 | Hawaii | 177 | 0.5% | | 34 | Arkansas | 169 | 0.5% | | 35 | Wisconsin | 161 | 0.4% | | 36 | Minnesota | 151 | 0.4% | | 37 | Rhode Island | 147 | 0.4% | | 38 | District of Columbia | 141 | 0.4% | | 39 | West Virginia | 126 | 0.3% | | 40 | Iowa | 112 | 0.3% | | 41 | Delaware | 108 | 0.3% | | 42 | Kansas | 92 | 0.2% | | 43 | Vermont | 85 | 0.2% | | 44 | Idaho | 66 | 0.2% | | 45 | Nebraska | 58 | 0.2% | | 46 | New Mexico | 44 | 0.1% | | 47 | Alaska | 35 | 0.1% | | 48 | South Dakota | 33 | 0.1% | | 49 | Montana | 28 | 0.1% | | 50 | Wyoming | 25 | 0.1% | | 51 | North Dakota | 15 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a convenience store lead list Every row is one convenience store business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for convenience stores: | Field | Why it matters for convenience stores | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates fuel-and-store sites (Gas station plus Convenience store) from stand-alone c-stores and bodegas. Fuel equipment, car wash and EV charging vendors want the first group; snack and beverage brands want both. | | **business name + website** | Chain and fuel-brand names repeat across many rows. Group by name and domain to separate corporate units from the independent owners who decide locally. | | **email + grade** | Many small c-stores have no website, so expect fewer emails than in most trades. When there is one, it's often the owner's address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe. | | **phone** | For stores without an email the phone is the main channel. The clerk answers; ask when the owner or manager is in. Dial by hand and follow the TCPA. | | **hours** | 24-hour stores need more staff, lighting, cameras and security. Hours also tell you whether the owner is likely there in the morning. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a rough proxy for traffic. High-traffic stores are better placements for ATMs, vending, lottery terminals and new beverage lines. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Distributors and route sales reps work by territory. Fence the list to your delivery routes so you don't chase stores you can't serve. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every convenience store No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** convenience store, c-store, gas station, gas station convenience store, corner store, bodega, mini mart, food mart, quick mart, deli and grocery, travel center, truck stop, beer and wine store, smoke and convenience, discount convenience store, drive thru convenience store, 24 hour convenience store, market and deli, fuel station, corner market. **Google Maps categories:** Convenience store, Gas station, Truck stop, Grocery store, Deli, Beer store, Tobacco shop. ## Who sells to convenience stores, and what works - **Snack, beverage and CPG brands.** Independents can add a product without a planogram review. Lead with sell-through at a nearby store, case cost and margin, and how you'll restock. See [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product). - **Distributors and route sales.** Owners juggle many small suppliers. A consolidated delivery, lower minimums or a better delivery day saves them time at the back door. - **POS and payment processors.** C-stores run high transaction counts with small tickets, so processing fees add up. Show the owner what they pay per month today and what they'd pay with you. Our [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads) guide covers the approach. - **ATM, vending and kiosk placement.** High-traffic stores with long hours are the best ATM and kiosk hosts. Lead with the revenue share or the extra foot traffic. The same list works for [finding vending machine locations](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-vending-machine-locations). - **Security, cameras and signage.** Late hours and cash on site make loss prevention a constant worry. Target 24-hour stores with a camera and monitoring offer; LED signage and pole signs suit fuel sites. - **Fuel equipment, EV charging and car wash vendors.** Filter to rows with the Gas station category. Pumps, tank monitoring, compliance testing and add-on car washes are all sold to the same owner. ## How to segment and qualify a convenience store list ### Fuel sites vs stand-alone stores Use the categories column: rows tagged Gas station and Convenience store are fuel sites. Stand-alone c-stores, bodegas and corner markets are their own segment with different suppliers. ### Independents vs chains Group by business name and website domain. A name across 50 rows is a chain or fuel brand that buys centrally. Owners with one to three stores are where local sales happen. ### Urban bodegas and corner stores In dense cities, corner stores and delis carry groceries, hot food and specialty products. Search bodega, deli and grocery, and corner store terms, and draw a polygon around the neighborhoods you serve. ### Highway and truck stops Travel centers and truck stops have large footprints, showers, food service and diesel. They are a separate segment for fleet, food service and equipment vendors. ### 24-hour stores Filter on the hours column. Round-the-clock stores need more security, lighting and staffing, and get more traffic for ATMs and kiosks. ### New and changed stores Stores change hands often. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your territory flags new convenience listings as they appear on Google Maps, when new owners pick suppliers. ## How to reach convenience stores ### Expect phone and visits more than email Many small c-stores have no website and no email. Use the email list for stores that have one, and the phone column for the rest: call mid-morning and ask when the owner is in, then visit. ### Talk margin and turns Owners think in margin per item and how fast it sells. A short email with a case price, suggested retail and a nearby store that sells it gets further than a brand deck. ### Age-restricted products have their own rules If you sell tobacco, vape, alcohol or lottery-related products, marketing and sales to retailers come with federal and state rules, including age-of-sale laws. Know them before you pitch, and get legal advice for your products. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find convenience store leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Convenience stores lead lists: questions How do I find convenience store leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the terms that cover the trade (convenience store, gas station, bodega, mini mart, truck stop), and Leadraft finds every matching store on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each store's website, checks them, and you export CSV or XLSX with phones for the stores that have no email. How many convenience stores are there in the US? NACS and NIQ counted 151,975 convenience stores in the US as of December 31, 2025, and 80.7% of them sell fuel. The Census Bureau counted 36,992 convenience stores with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 445120), but that code leaves out gas stations with convenience stores, so it's a smaller number. Can I get a list of only independent convenience stores? Yes, with some sorting. Leadraft records each store's name and website, so you can group by name or domain and drop chains and fuel brands. Most of what's left are independents: NACS says 63% of stores belong to companies with 10 or fewer stores. Do convenience stores have email addresses? Many small stores don't have a website, so they have no published email. Leadraft finds emails only on a business's own website and checks each one. Expect a lower email rate than for most trades, and use the phone column for the rest. How much does a convenience store email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per store, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 16,504 convenience stores in the NACS count. A Texas-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the store's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the store's own website, with the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 445120, Convenience Stores)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, released 2025.

US child care has two very different halves. The Census Bureau counts about 82,000 child day care establishments with paid employees, from single-site centers to national chains such as KinderCare, The Learning Experience and Primrose (a franchise). It also counts more than 533,000 day care businesses with no paid employees, many of them family child care run from the provider's own home. Every provider is licensed or registered by its state, with rules on ratios, staff training and facilities. Centers are run by a director, often with an owner above them; decisions on tuition software, food, curriculum and supplies sit with the director or owner. Budgets are tight, because tuition is capped by what local families can pay and by state subsidy rates. Many centers are run by churches, schools and nonprofits rather than private owners. ## How many daycares are there in each state? California, New York and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 82,162 establishments in **Child day care services (NAICS 624410)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for daycares: | Field | Why it matters for daycares | | --- | --- | | **business and category** | The name tells you whether a row is a chain or franchise location, a church-run program ("First Baptist Preschool") or an independent center. The category separates daycares from preschools and after-school programs. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Centers usually publish a director or enrollment inbox on their site. Up to 5 emails per center, each with role and source, let you choose the director's address over a generic tours inbox. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **hours** | Opening at 6:30 am and closing at 6 pm marks a full-day center for working parents; a 9 to 1 schedule marks a part-day preschool. Hours are the quickest way to sort the two. | | **website and contact\_form** | Many centers route every inquiry through a tour request form. A center with no website, or a form and no email, is a prospect for web design and enrollment-marketing services. | | **rating and reviews** | Parents read reviews closely before touring. Review count hints at size and time in business; low ratings point to communication or staffing problems a vendor can address. | | **address, in\_area and distance** | Food service, cleaning, playground inspection and licensing consultants work by territory, and state licensing rules differ. The area fence keeps the list inside the state and counties you serve. | | **facebook and instagram** | Centers post daily updates for parents on Facebook more than on their websites. The links help you judge how active a center is before you write. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every daycare No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** daycare, day care center, child care center, childcare, preschool, pre k, pre-kindergarten, montessori school, infant care, toddler daycare, early learning center, early childhood education center, nursery school, after school program, before and after school care, summer camp for kids, head start program, christian preschool, bilingual daycare, drop in child care, learning academy. **Google Maps categories:** Day care center, Child care agency, Preschool, Nursery school, Kindergarten, Montessori school, After school program, Children's camp. ## Who sells to daycares, and what works - **Child care management software (billing, check-in, parent apps).** Directors want less paperwork and fewer late tuition payments. Lead with time saved on billing and state-required records, and say whether you handle subsidy billing in their state. - **Curriculum, toys, furniture and classroom suppliers.** Buying happens before the school year and when new rooms open. Show prices and lead times, and mention whether products meet licensing or accreditation requirements. - **Food service and meal programs.** Many centers take part in the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program and have to meet its meal patterns. A meal service that handles the menus and paperwork removes a real burden. - **Staffing agencies and training providers.** Staff turnover is constant and ratios are set by law, so a center short one teacher may have to turn families away. Substitute staffing and required training hours are the pitch. - **Enrollment marketing and web design agencies.** Centers fill by word of mouth and Google Maps. A center with empty infant spots, a dated site or few reviews is the opening. - **Commercial cleaning, insurance and facility services.** Child care facilities have strict sanitation and safety rules. Cleaning, pest control and liability insurance sold with that in mind get read. ## How to segment and qualify a daycare list ### Centers vs home-based providers Commercial addresses with a center-style name are centers. Rows with a residential address and a personal name are usually family child care homes. Many vendors only want centers; keep the two in separate lists. ### Full-day vs part-day Use the hours column. Full-day centers buy meals, extended staffing and billing software; part-day preschools buy curriculum and enrollment marketing. ### Chains and franchises vs independents Filter by business name to pull out chain and franchise locations. Their software and curriculum are usually chosen at head office; independents decide locally. ### Faith-based and nonprofit programs Search "christian preschool" and look for church names in the business column. These programs often share a building, budget and board with the church, which changes who signs. ### Montessori and specialty programs Montessori, bilingual and STEM-focused programs charge more and buy specialist materials. Search them as their own lines and keep the category. ### New centers A new center needs furniture, software, insurance and families all at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends you only the centers that appear after your first search. ## How to reach daycares ### Treat home-based providers with care Family child care homes are licensed small businesses, but the address on the listing is someone's home and the email may be personal. Only email about things relevant to running their program, keep messages short, honor opt-outs immediately, and never publish or resell their addresses. Outside the US, personal-data laws such as GDPR may treat these rows as personal data. ### Write when the children are napping Directors spend mornings on drop-off, staffing and ratios, and late afternoons on pick-up. Early afternoon, during nap time, is when many directors catch up on email. Avoid late August, when the new school year starts, unless you sell for it. ### Know who decides At an independent center, the owner decides and the director recommends. At a church or nonprofit program, a board or committee may approve spending. At a chain or franchise, head office chooses most systems. Ask early who else needs to see your offer. ### Be concrete about licensing and safety Anything that touches children, records or food is checked against state licensing rules. Say plainly what your product does for compliance, and don't overclaim. Never ask for information about the children in a cold email. ### CAN-SPAM still applies Even when the center is a nonprofit, your commercial emails need a truthful subject line, a real postal address and a working opt-out. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your own program. ## How to find daycare leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Daycares lead lists: questions How many daycares are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 82,000 child day care establishments with paid employees (NAICS 624410), employing about 1.04 million people. The Census also counts more than 533,000 child day care businesses with no paid employees in 2023, many of them home-based providers. Google Maps lists centers and many home providers, so a Maps list for an area will mix both unless you separate them. Can I get a daycare email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include centers just outside it. Because licensing is set by each state, most buyers search one state at a time. Are the emails verified? Each email comes from the center's own website and is checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. Home-based providers often have no website, so they may come with a phone number but no email. How much does a daycare email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per center, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a search of three Ohio counties finds 1,200 daycares and preschools and you export 400 verified emails, that's 1,200 business credits and 400 checked-email credits, which fits in Starter at $19. Can I exclude home daycares and keep only centers? Yes, mostly. Filter on category and look at the business name and address: centers tend to have commercial addresses and a center-style name, while home providers often list a personal name. Save the filtered list as a view so you can reuse it. Is it OK to email daycares? In the US, B2B cold email is allowed under CAN-SPAM if you follow its rules. Be careful with home-based providers, whose listing details may also be personal information. Google's Maps terms restrict scraping and reuse of Maps content, which is a contract question rather than a privacy one.

Dentistry is still mostly small, owner-run offices. The Census Bureau counted about 135,700 dental offices with employees in 2023, and 73% of them had fewer than 10 staff. Dental service organizations (DSOs) are growing and buy centrally, but most of the market is a dentist-owner, an office manager and a front desk making buying decisions for one or two locations. The biggest concentrations are California (about 22,800 offices), Texas (11,900), Florida (9,000) and New York (8,000). Purchases are driven by the office manager for day-to-day vendors (supplies, software, marketing) and by the owner for anything that touches clinical work or costs real money. ## How many dentists are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 135,665 establishments in **Offices of dentists (NAICS 621210)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 22,757 | 16.8% | | 2 | Texas | 11,902 | 8.8% | | 3 | Florida | 9,039 | 6.7% | | 4 | New York | 8,001 | 5.9% | | 5 | Illinois | 5,781 | 4.3% | | 6 | Pennsylvania | 4,649 | 3.4% | | 7 | New Jersey | 4,511 | 3.3% | | 8 | Ohio | 3,814 | 2.8% | | 9 | Michigan | 3,795 | 2.8% | | 10 | Georgia | 3,663 | 2.7% | | 11 | Washington | 3,633 | 2.7% | | 12 | North Carolina | 3,551 | 2.6% | | 13 | Virginia | 3,402 | 2.5% | | 14 | Massachusetts | 3,188 | 2.3% | | 15 | Colorado | 2,957 | 2.2% | | 16 | Arizona | 2,922 | 2.2% | | 17 | Maryland | 2,561 | 1.9% | | 18 | Indiana | 2,246 | 1.7% | | 19 | Tennessee | 2,225 | 1.6% | | 20 | Oregon | 1,913 | 1.4% | | 21 | Wisconsin | 1,902 | 1.4% | | 22 | Missouri | 1,899 | 1.4% | | 23 | Minnesota | 1,884 | 1.4% | | 24 | Utah | 1,789 | 1.3% | | 25 | South Carolina | 1,758 | 1.3% | | 26 | Connecticut | 1,625 | 1.2% | | 27 | Louisiana | 1,575 | 1.2% | | 28 | Kentucky | 1,440 | 1.1% | | 29 | Alabama | 1,402 | 1.0% | | 30 | Oklahoma | 1,373 | 1.0% | | 31 | Nevada | 1,320 | 1.0% | | 32 | Iowa | 1,030 | 0.8% | | 33 | Kansas | 1,021 | 0.8% | | 34 | Idaho | 943 | 0.7% | | 35 | Arkansas | 917 | 0.7% | | 36 | Mississippi | 915 | 0.7% | | 37 | Nebraska | 744 | 0.5% | | 38 | New Mexico | 684 | 0.5% | | 39 | New Hampshire | 586 | 0.4% | | 40 | Hawaii | 577 | 0.4% | | 41 | Montana | 529 | 0.4% | | 42 | West Virginia | 473 | 0.3% | | 43 | Maine | 457 | 0.3% | | 44 | Rhode Island | 327 | 0.2% | | 45 | South Dakota | 317 | 0.2% | | 46 | Alaska | 315 | 0.2% | | 47 | District of Columbia | 310 | 0.2% | | 48 | Delaware | 294 | 0.2% | | 49 | North Dakota | 282 | 0.2% | | 50 | Vermont | 235 | 0.2% | | 51 | Wyoming | 232 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a dentist lead list Every row is one dentist business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for dentists: | Field | Why it matters for dentists | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Practices often publish a single office address (info@, office@, appointments@). The grade tells you whether it's a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts everything (**Accept-all**, a maybe). Some practice domains accept every address, so expect a share of Accept-all and send to those more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger practices list separate addresses for the office manager, billing or new patients. The role and the page each email was found on help you pick the person who buys rather than the patient inbox. | | **category / categories** | Separates general dentists from orthodontists, oral surgeons and pediatric practices. A clear aligner lab, a sedation course or an imaging vendor sells to a different subset than a patient-recall tool. | | **website + website\_platform** | A practice with no website, or a dated one, is the obvious lead for dental web design and SEO agencies. The platform column shows which practices are on a template builder, which matters if you sell migrations. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a good proxy for patient volume and marketing maturity. Practices with a 3.x rating or under 50 reviews are the natural targets for reputation and review-request software. | | **hours** | Shows which practices open evenings or Saturdays (competing on convenience) and which close Fridays, a common dental schedule. Useful both for segmentation and for when to call. | | **phone** | Dental front desks answer the phone all day. A call after an email often gets you further than a second email, as long as you call the office line and respect the TCPA rules for calls and texts. | | **facebook / instagram** | Cosmetic and pediatric practices market heavily on social. An inactive or missing Instagram is an opening for social media agencies. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every dentist No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** dentist, dental office, dental clinic, family dentist, general dentist, cosmetic dentist, pediatric dentist, kids dentist, emergency dentist, orthodontist, endodontist, periodontist, oral surgeon, prosthodontist, dental implants provider, teeth whitening service, invisalign provider, sedation dentist, dentures service, root canal specialist, wisdom teeth removal, dental group, holistic dentist, geriatric dentist. **Google Maps categories:** Dentist, Cosmetic dentist, Dental clinic, Pediatric dentist, Orthodontist, Endodontist, Periodontist, Oral surgeon, Prosthodontist, Emergency dental service, Dental implants periodontist, Teeth whitening service. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to dentists, and what works - **Dental marketing and SEO agencies.** Lead with something you can see from the row: no website, few reviews compared with nearby practices, or no Google presence for implants or Invisalign. Offer a short audit of how the practice shows up for "dentist near me" in its ZIP. - **Practice management and patient communication software.** Recall reminders, online booking, two-way texting and review requests. Pitch the office manager on fewer no-shows and less phone time at the front desk, and mention HIPAA-ready messaging, because they will ask. - **Dental suppliers, labs and equipment dealers.** Crown and aligner labs, intraoral scanner and CBCT dealers, consumables distributors. Segment by category (orthodontists, oral surgeons) and by practice size proxies like review count. - **Dental billing, insurance credentialing and staffing firms.** Office managers juggle claims and hiring. Offer a concrete number: days to credential with a new PPO, or hours of billing work taken off the front desk each week. - **DSOs and practice brokers.** Groups looking for acquisitions or affiliations want independent practices in a target metro. Draw the metro as a polygon, filter to independents (exclude DSO brand names), and reach the owner with a respectful, low-pressure note. ## How to segment and qualify a dentist list ### Specialty vs general practice Use the category columns to split general and family dentists from orthodontists, endodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons and pediatric dentists. Specialists buy different equipment and get patients through referrals, not Google ads. ### Independent vs DSO-affiliated DSO locations often share a brand name and website domain across many rows. Group by website domain: one domain across 20 locations is a group that buys centrally, so contact the head office instead of each office. ### Weak online presence Filter for practices with no website, a rating under 4.0, or fewer than 50 reviews. These are the best leads for marketing, website and reputation offers, and you can name the gap in your first line. ### Extended hours Practices open evenings or Saturdays tend to be growth-minded and competing for working patients. They are good targets for booking and patient-financing tools. ### Newly opened practices A new practice needs everything at once: website, signage, software, suppliers. Set up a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area and get new dental listings as they appear on Google Maps. ### By metro or ZIP Agencies that sell territory-exclusive marketing should search one ZIP or one county at a time. Draw a polygon around the suburbs you serve rather than taking the whole city. ## How to reach dentists ### Write for the front desk, then the office manager The published address is usually read by a receptionist who screens everything. Keep the first email short, name the practice and one specific observation, and ask who handles your topic. Office managers decide on most vendors under a few hundred dollars a month. ### Time it around the schedule Dental offices are busiest first thing and right after lunch. Emails that arrive late morning or mid-afternoon Tuesday to Thursday get read. Many practices close on Fridays, so check the hours column before you call. ### HIPAA is a selling point, not a barrier Emailing a practice's business address about a product is ordinary B2B marketing. HIPAA protects patient health information that the practice holds, it doesn't stop you from contacting the practice. If your product touches patient data, say up front how you handle it (a business associate agreement, for example), because that question decides the deal. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address, and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ### Use proof from their own market Dentists respond to local comparisons: "three practices within a mile of you have more than 300 reviews." You can pull that from the same list, using the rating, reviews and distance columns. ## How to find dentist leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Dentists lead lists: questions How many dentists are there in the US? The ADA Health Policy Institute counted 205,088 professionally active dentists in 2025. They work in about 135,700 dental offices with paid employees, according to the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns for 2023 (NAICS 621210). Google Maps counts are different again, because one office can have several listings (one per dentist or specialty) and some listings belong to clinics or schools. Can I get a dentist email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius, or upload a KML file. Leadraft only keeps practices inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), so you don't pay for dentists in the next state. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the practice's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the practice's own website, with the page they were found on. See how verification works on our methodology page. How much does a dentist email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per practice, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has about 11,900 dental offices with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test a city first. Does HIPAA apply to emailing dental practices? Emailing a practice about your product is business-to-business marketing and doesn't involve patient health information, so HIPAA isn't the rule that governs it. CAN-SPAM applies to the email itself. If your product will handle patient data, the practice will expect HIPAA safeguards and usually a business associate agreement. This isn't legal advice. Do you include the dentist's name or personal email? No. Leadraft lists the business, not people. You get the emails the practice publishes on its own website (often an office or appointments address, sometimes a named dentist), each with its role and source. There are no personal or home emails. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 621210, Offices of Dentists)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[American Dental Association, Health Policy Institute: The dentist workforce](https://www.ada.org/resources/research/health-policy-institute/dentist-workforce) · 205,088 professionally active dentists, 60.0 per 100,000 people (2025). 3. 3.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Dentists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/dentists.htm) · 161,400 dentist jobs in 2025. 4. 4.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 5. 5.[HHS: The HIPAA Privacy Rule](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/index.html) ## See the dentists in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Driving schools are small, local and licensed by the state. The Census Bureau counted 2,645 automobile driving school establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 611692), led by California (about 300), New York (290), Texas (220), New Jersey (140), Ohio (140), Florida (120) and Massachusetts (120). Many more instructors work alone with one or two cars and no payroll, and they show up on Google Maps but not in that count. Truck driving and CDL schools are counted in a different Census code, so a full list of driver training searches both. Most schools are owner-operated: the owner teaches, runs the office and buys cars, insurance, software and marketing. Demand follows teens: summer and school breaks are the busy seasons. ## How many driving schools are there in each state? California, New York and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 2,645 establishments in **Automobile driving schools (NAICS 611692)** across 47 states (one withheld) in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 303 | 11.5% | | 2 | New York | 290 | 11.0% | | 3 | Texas | 216 | 8.2% | | 4 | New Jersey | 144 | 5.4% | | 5 | Ohio | 136 | 5.1% | | 6 | Florida | 124 | 4.7% | | 7 | Massachusetts | 123 | 4.7% | | 8 | Washington | 119 | 4.5% | | 9 | Maryland | 103 | 3.9% | | 10 | Michigan | 101 | 3.8% | | 11 | Wisconsin | 82 | 3.1% | | 12 | Colorado | 66 | 2.5% | | 13 | Illinois | 66 | 2.5% | | 14 | Georgia | 64 | 2.4% | | 15 | Virginia | 63 | 2.4% | | 16 | Pennsylvania | 61 | 2.3% | | 17 | Indiana | 56 | 2.1% | | 18 | Connecticut | 55 | 2.1% | | 19 | North Carolina | 54 | 2.0% | | 20 | Minnesota | 45 | 1.7% | | 21 | Louisiana | 41 | 1.6% | | 22 | South Carolina | 35 | 1.3% | | 23 | Arizona | 30 | 1.1% | | 24 | New Hampshire | 26 | 1.0% | | 25 | Maine | 22 | 0.8% | | 26 | Tennessee | 20 | 0.8% | | 27 | Oregon | 19 | 0.7% | | 28 | Idaho | 17 | 0.6% | | 29 | Kansas | 17 | 0.6% | | 30 | Iowa | 16 | 0.6% | | 31 | Kentucky | 14 | 0.5% | | 32 | Nevada | 14 | 0.5% | | 33 | Oklahoma | 13 | 0.5% | | 34 | Utah | 13 | 0.5% | | 35 | Missouri | 11 | 0.4% | | 36 | Nebraska | 10 | 0.4% | | 37 | Alaska | 9 | 0.3% | | 38 | New Mexico | 9 | 0.3% | | 39 | Rhode Island | 7 | 0.3% | | 40 | Arkansas | 5 | 0.2% | | 41 | Mississippi | 5 | 0.2% | | 42 | Alabama | 4 | 0.2% | | 43 | North Dakota | 4 | 0.2% | | 44 | Vermont | 4 | 0.2% | | 45 | Delaware | 3 | 0.1% | | 46 | Hawaii | 3 | 0.1% | | 47 | Wyoming | 3 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a driving school lead list Every row is one driving school business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for driving schools: | Field | Why it matters for driving schools | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates car driving schools from truck driving (CDL), motorcycle and traffic schools. They have different students, different regulators and different equipment, so one pitch rarely fits all of them. | | **email + grade** | Small schools usually publish one address, often a free webmail account rather than their own domain. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **phone + phone\_type** | Many instructors list a cell phone because they take bookings between lessons. The phone type column helps you spot those so you dial by hand and follow the TCPA. | | **website + contact\_form** | A school with no website or no online booking is the clearest lead for web design and scheduling software. Parents want to book lessons online. | | **rating + reviews** | Parents pick a driving school on reviews and pass rates. A school with few reviews against nearby competitors is a lead for review and local marketing offers. | | **service\_area + address** | Many schools pick students up from home or school, so they list a service area instead of a storefront. Use the service area and distance columns to keep the schools that cover your territory. | | **hours** | Schools that list evening and weekend hours run classroom sessions after school. It also tells you when the office is staffed. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every driving school No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** driving school, driver's ed, drivers education, driver training school, teen driving school, adult driving lessons, driving lessons, driving instructor, behind the wheel training, road test preparation, permit test prep, defensive driving course, traffic school, DUI school, point reduction course, senior driver refresher course, CDL school, CDL training, truck driving school, commercial driving school, bus driver training, motorcycle training course, motorcycle driving school, online drivers ed. **Google Maps categories:** Driving school, Truck driving school, Motorcycle driving school. ## Who sells to driving schools, and what works - **Driving school software.** Lesson scheduling, instructor calendars, online payments, student records and state reporting. Pitch the owner on fewer phone calls and no-shows, and time it before the summer rush. - **Commercial auto insurance agents.** Driver training vehicles need specialty coverage, and owners compare at renewal. Use the list to reach every school in your licensed states with a clear quote process. - **Dual-control vehicle installers and fleet dealers.** Schools buy or lease cars and fit instructor brakes. Lead with installed price and turnaround, and segment by school size using review count as a proxy. - **Marketing and local SEO agencies.** Driving lessons are a local search. Show the owner where they rank for "driving school near me" and how many reviews the top three schools have, before school lets out. - **Online driver's ed and curriculum providers.** Schools in states that allow online classroom hours partner with course providers. Offer a white-label or revenue-share option to the owner. - **Trucking companies and CDL recruiters.** Carriers hiring new drivers partner with CDL schools for graduates. Search CDL and truck driving school terms and offer a hiring pipeline or tuition reimbursement program. ## How to segment and qualify a driving school list ### Teen driver's ed vs adult lessons Teen programs follow the school calendar and sell to parents; adult lessons sell year-round to new arrivals and older first-time drivers. Use search terms and website copy to tag each school. ### CDL and truck driving schools Search CDL and truck driving terms on their own. These schools have larger fleets, bigger budgets and different buyers, such as carriers, equipment dealers and financing. ### Traffic and defensive driving schools Court-ordered and point-reduction courses are often online or classroom-only. They buy course software and marketing, not cars. ### Motorcycle training Motorcycle schools run seasonally and need ranges, bikes and gear. Search them separately and time outreach for late winter. ### Weak online presence Filter for no website, no booking form or few reviews. These are the best leads for websites, booking software and local marketing. See [how to get web design clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-web-design-clients). ### Newly opened schools New schools need cars, insurance, software and a website at the start. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends new driving school listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach driving schools ### Owners are in the car all day Instructors teach back-to-back lessons and check email between them or in the evening. Keep the first email to a few lines that can be read on a phone, and call early morning or after 6 p.m. ### Sell before summer Summer and school breaks are the busiest months for teen programs. Pitch software, cars and marketing from January to April, so it's in place before school lets out. ### Know they are state-licensed Driving schools are licensed by the state DMV or a similar agency, which sets rules for curriculum, vehicles and records. Owners respond well to products that make that reporting easier, and badly to claims that ignore it. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many school numbers are instructors' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Driving schools lead lists: questions How do I find driving school leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the terms that matter to you (driving school, driver's ed, CDL school, traffic school and so on), and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each business's own website, checks each mailbox, and lets you export CSV or XLSX or push the list to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many driving schools are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 2,645 automobile driving school establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 611692). Solo instructors with no payroll aren't in that count, and truck driving schools are counted under a different code, so Google Maps usually shows more driving schools than that. Can I get a list of CDL and truck driving schools only? Yes. Search CDL school, CDL training and truck driving school, and filter by the Truck driving school category. Leadraft removes duplicates across terms, so a school that appears in several searches is one row and one credit. How much does a driving school email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per school, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. The US has about 2,650 driving schools with employees (Census 2023); even if Google Maps shows two or three times that once solo instructors and CDL schools are included, a nationwide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49 a month, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, enough to test a large metro. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the school's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the school's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include instructor names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each school publishes on its own website, often an office address and sometimes the owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 611692, Automobile Driving Schools)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the driving schools in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counted about 83,300 electrical contractors with employees in 2023, employing just over a million people. Like most trades it's mainly small shops: 77% had fewer than 10 employees. A minority of large commercial and industrial contractors employ much of the workforce and win bid work through general contractors, while residential and service electricians sell directly to homeowners. The code also includes low-voltage, security and data-cabling installers. California (about 10,200), Florida (6,500), Texas (6,100), New York (5,200) and North Carolina (3,100) have the most. Panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators and solar tie-ins are higher-ticket jobs, and the shops that advertise them tend to be the ones buying software and marketing. ## How many electricians are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 83,342 establishments in **Electrical contractors and other wiring installation contractors (NAICS 238210)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for electricians: | Field | Why it matters for electricians | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Electrical contractors usually publish an office or service address; commercial firms often add estimating@ or bids@. The grade tells you whether it's a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts everything (**Accept-all**, a maybe). | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Commercial contractors list estimating, accounting, safety and careers addresses. Suppliers and software sellers can write to estimating or the office manager rather than the generic inbox. | | **category / categories** | Separates residential service electricians from lighting, generator, EV charging, low-voltage and security installers. Exclude Electrical supply store unless you sell to distributors. | | **website + website\_platform** | Service electricians with a template site or no site are the target for web design and SEO. A site that lists EV chargers and generators shows a shop moving into higher-ticket work. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count shows how much residential service work a shop does. Commercial contractors often have few reviews despite being large, so don't use reviews alone to size them. | | **hours** | 24-hour shops sell emergency service and buy answering and dispatch tools. Business-hours shops are often commercial or new-construction contractors. | | **phone** | The office line for larger firms, the owner's cell for small ones. Know which before you call, because the TCPA treats wireless numbers differently. | | **linkedin** | Commercial and industrial electrical contractors are more likely to keep a LinkedIn company page than residential shops, which helps you find the estimator or project manager. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every electrician No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** electrician, electrical contractor, electrical company, residential electrician, commercial electrician, industrial electrician, emergency electrician, 24 hour electrician, ev charger installation, electric vehicle charger installer, panel upgrade, electrical panel replacement, generator installation service, standby generator installer, lighting contractor, landscape lighting installer, rewiring service, ceiling fan installation, low voltage contractor, data cabling contractor, security system installer, electrical inspection, solar electrician, smart home installer. **Google Maps categories:** Electrician, Electrical installation service, Lighting contractor, Generator shop, Electric vehicle charging station contractor, Solar energy company, Security system installer, Electrical supply store. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to electricians, and what works - **Home-services marketing and web agencies.** Target residential service electricians with a weak site or few reviews, and lead with high-ticket jobs: "panel upgrade" and "ev charger installation" searches in their ZIP. - **EV charger, generator and battery manufacturers.** Recruit installers into certified-installer programs. Segment by category and by whether the website mentions EV, solar or generators, and offer training plus referral leads. - **Electrical distributors.** Map every contractor within a drive of a branch using distance and lat/lng. Offer job-site delivery and counter accounts; write to the office or purchasing address. - **Estimating, takeoff and field service software.** Commercial shops buy takeoff and bid tools; residential shops buy scheduling, flat-rate pricing and invoicing. Use categories and review counts to tell them apart and pitch each its own pain. - **Insurance, bonding and licensing-education providers.** Newly listed shops need general liability, workers' comp and bonding. Continuing-education providers can target every contractor in a state before the license renewal deadline. ## How to segment and qualify a electrician list ### Residential service vs commercial and industrial Search "residential electrician" separately from "commercial electrician" and "industrial electrician". Commercial contractors bid through GCs and have estimators; residential shops sell to homeowners. ### EV, generator and solar specialists Use search terms like "ev charger installation" and "generator installation service", plus the related categories. A small, high-intent list for manufacturers and financing providers. ### Low-voltage and security installers Data cabling, security, AV and smart-home installers sit in the same Census code but are a different buyer. Search them separately with "low voltage contractor" and "security system installer". ### Emergency electricians Filter on hours and on "24 hour" or "emergency" in the name. These shops value call answering and fast dispatch. ### Weak online presence No website, a rating under 4.0, or fewer than 20 reviews. The most direct leads for marketing agencies. ### New electrical contractors A new shop needs insurance, a supplier account, a van wrap and a website. Set up a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area to get new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach electricians ### Electricians are on site early Crews start around 7 am. Owners of small shops answer email at the end of the day; commercial firms have an office manager or estimator at a desk during business hours. Send late afternoon for residential shops and mid-morning for commercial offices. ### Commercial firms buy on bid deadlines Estimators are slammed before bid due dates. A short email offering something that saves time on takeoff or pricing gets read; a long pitch doesn't. ### Seasons matter less, storms matter more Electrical work is steadier than HVAC or roofing, but storms and outages bring surges in generator and repair work. Avoid pitching in the week after a major outage in their area. ### Follow the TCPA and CAN-SPAM Small-shop numbers are often the owner's mobile. Autodialed or prerecorded calls and marketing texts to wireless numbers need prior consent under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't text cold. Email needs honest subject lines, your physical address and a working opt-out.

Each business is charged once, ever. ## Electricians lead lists: questions How many electricians are there in the US? The BLS counted 821,000 electrician jobs in 2025. For businesses, the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted about 83,300 electrical contractors with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 238210), employing about 1.02 million people. That business count leaves out one-person shops without payroll, which Google Maps does include. Can I get an electrician email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius around a branch, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only electricians inside your area, or inside plus nearby if you choose, and doesn't charge for the rest. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does an electrician email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. North Carolina had about 3,100 electrical contractors with employees in 2023 (Census). A statewide list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month); for 2,000 verified emails, run two months of Starter ($38, unused credits roll over) or one month of Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails). The Free plan gives 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month. Can I get only electricians who install EV chargers or generators? Yes. Search with terms like "ev charger installation" or "generator installation service" and filter on the category columns. You can also check each row's website for the services they list. Do you include the electrician's license number or the owner's name? No. Leadraft lists the business, not people or license records. You get the emails the company publishes on its own website, each with its role and source, plus phone, address, ratings and social profiles.

Engineering services is a broad code with many small offices. The Census Bureau counted 63,233 engineering services establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541330). California (about 8,900) leads, then Texas (5,800), Florida (5,300), New York (2,500), Colorado (2,400), Virginia (2,300) and Pennsylvania (2,200). The code covers everything from a two-person structural practice to regional offices of national firms, plus industrial and process engineering consultancies. Land surveyors have their own code (541370) and aren't in that count. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts about 380,600 civil engineer jobs alone. Local firms get much of their work from architects, developers, contractors and public agencies, and principals decide on software, equipment and consultants. ## How many engineering firms are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 63,233 establishments in **Engineering services (NAICS 541330)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 8,898 | 14.1% | | 2 | Texas | 5,772 | 9.1% | | 3 | Florida | 5,260 | 8.3% | | 4 | New York | 2,486 | 3.9% | | 5 | Colorado | 2,375 | 3.8% | | 6 | Virginia | 2,309 | 3.7% | | 7 | Pennsylvania | 2,243 | 3.5% | | 8 | Georgia | 1,862 | 2.9% | | 9 | Michigan | 1,807 | 2.9% | | 10 | North Carolina | 1,779 | 2.8% | | 11 | Illinois | 1,752 | 2.8% | | 12 | Washington | 1,701 | 2.7% | | 13 | Ohio | 1,641 | 2.6% | | 14 | New Jersey | 1,506 | 2.4% | | 15 | Maryland | 1,493 | 2.4% | | 16 | Massachusetts | 1,463 | 2.3% | | 17 | Arizona | 1,345 | 2.1% | | 18 | Louisiana | 1,093 | 1.7% | | 19 | Indiana | 1,024 | 1.6% | | 20 | Alabama | 983 | 1.6% | | 21 | South Carolina | 946 | 1.5% | | 22 | Minnesota | 887 | 1.4% | | 23 | Wisconsin | 878 | 1.4% | | 24 | Utah | 867 | 1.4% | | 25 | Tennessee | 855 | 1.4% | | 26 | Oregon | 838 | 1.3% | | 27 | Missouri | 824 | 1.3% | | 28 | Nevada | 625 | 1.0% | | 29 | Kentucky | 564 | 0.9% | | 30 | Oklahoma | 564 | 0.9% | | 31 | Kansas | 561 | 0.9% | | 32 | Connecticut | 529 | 0.8% | | 33 | Idaho | 476 | 0.8% | | 34 | Iowa | 399 | 0.6% | | 35 | Arkansas | 396 | 0.6% | | 36 | Montana | 389 | 0.6% | | 37 | New Mexico | 383 | 0.6% | | 38 | New Hampshire | 341 | 0.5% | | 39 | Mississippi | 330 | 0.5% | | 40 | Hawaii | 307 | 0.5% | | 41 | Maine | 302 | 0.5% | | 42 | Nebraska | 266 | 0.4% | | 43 | District of Columbia | 248 | 0.4% | | 44 | Wyoming | 238 | 0.4% | | 45 | Alaska | 228 | 0.4% | | 46 | Rhode Island | 221 | 0.3% | | 47 | Delaware | 218 | 0.3% | | 48 | West Virginia | 206 | 0.3% | | 49 | North Dakota | 193 | 0.3% | | 50 | South Dakota | 181 | 0.3% | | 51 | Vermont | 181 | 0.3% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a engineering firm lead list Every row is one engineering firm business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for engineering firms: | Field | Why it matters for engineering firms | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | The main split: civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental and surveying. A drone mapping service sells to civil firms and surveyors; a building energy software vendor sells to MEP firms. | | **email + grade** | Firms publish info@ or a principal's name. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. Regional offices of large firms usually share one corporate domain. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger firms list business development, careers and office-specific addresses. The role and source page help you reach a principal or business development lead, not HR. | | **website (domain)** | Group rows by domain. One domain across many offices is a national firm that buys software centrally; a single-office domain is a local firm where the principal decides. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Engineers work regionally, close to their licenses, permits and clients. Area and distance columns let you build a territory list for a rep or a referral network. | | **linkedin** | Most engineering firms keep a LinkedIn company page with team size and project posts. Use it to check the principal's name and the firm's focus before you write. | | **rating + reviews** | Engineering firms get few reviews, so don't filter on them. Residential-facing structural engineers and surveyors are the exception; a lot of reviews there means steady homeowner work. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every engineering firm No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** engineering firm, engineering company, engineering consultant, civil engineer, civil engineering firm, site engineer, structural engineer, structural engineering firm, mep engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, plumbing engineer, geotechnical engineer, environmental engineer, environmental consultant, traffic engineer, transportation engineering, water resources engineer, fire protection engineer, forensic engineer, land surveyor, surveying company, drainage engineer, septic system designer, foundation engineer, energy engineer. **Google Maps categories:** Engineer, Engineering consultant, Civil engineer, Civil engineering company, Structural engineer, Mechanical engineer, Electrical engineer, Environmental consultant, Land surveyor. Leadraft includes these in its [Professional & B2B keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#professional-b2b) (66 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to engineering firms, and what works - **Engineering and CAD software vendors.** Civil design, structural analysis, MEP modeling, project management. Small firms watch license costs and switching risk. Lead with time saved per project and a trial on a live job. - **Survey, drone and testing equipment dealers.** GNSS receivers, total stations, scanners, drones, field testing gear. Target civil firms and surveyors by territory and offer a demo on their own site. - **Subconsultants and outsourcing services.** Drafting, BIM modeling, geotechnical testing, permitting. Busy firms subcontract when they're stretched. Send relevant samples and a turnaround time. - **Architects, contractors and developers.** Firms looking for an engineer for a project can list every structural, civil or MEP firm in the area and request proposals, instead of relying on the first page of search results. See [architects](https://leadraft.co/leads/architects) and [general contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/general-contractors) for the other side. - **Professional liability insurance, accounting and recruiting firms.** Engineering firms carry professional liability insurance, bill by project and compete for licensed engineers. Offer a renewal review, project accounting help or a candidate pipeline. ## How to segment and qualify a engineering firm list ### By discipline Run separate searches for civil, structural, MEP, environmental and surveying terms and tag each row by the term and category that found it. Few vendors sell to all of them with one message. ### Local firms vs offices of national firms Group by website domain. National firms buy centrally, so pitch the corporate team; local firms decide in the office, usually the principal. ### Residential-facing engineers Structural engineers who inspect foundations, septic designers and surveyors serve homeowners and real estate deals. They have more reviews and buy marketing like a local service business. ### By territory Pick a county, draw a polygon or upload a KML territory so the list matches a sales rep's region or a firm's licensing footprint. ### Newly opened firms Engineers often leave a larger firm to open their own practice. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new firms as they appear on Google Maps, when they're setting up software, insurance and equipment. ## How to reach engineering firms ### Be precise Engineers read carefully and dislike vague claims. Say what the product does, what it costs and how it fits their workflow, and back any number with where it came from. ### Write to a principal or business development lead Use the role column. A principal decides on tools and subconsultants; business development handles teaming and referrals. Avoid the HR and careers addresses. ### Work around deadlines Firms work to permit, bid and proposal deadlines. Mid-week mornings tend to work. If they're mid-submittal, follow up in two weeks. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find engineering firm leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Engineering firms lead lists: questions How do I find engineering firm leads? Pick the city, county or ZIP code you sell into, search the disciplines you want (civil engineer, structural engineer, mep engineer, environmental consultant, land surveyor) and let Leadraft collect every matching firm on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each firm's own website and checks every mailbox, so you export only Verified and Accept-all emails. How many engineering firms are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 63,233 engineering services establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541330). Each establishment is one location, so national firms with many offices count several times, and land surveyors (NAICS 541370) are counted separately. Can I get a list of only structural or civil engineers? Yes. Search only that discipline's terms and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, such as Structural engineer or Civil engineering company. Many firms list several disciplines, so a firm can appear in more than one segment. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the firm's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the firm's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does an engineering firm email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per firm, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has about 5,800 engineering services establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include engineers' names or PE license numbers? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people, and doesn't pull license records. You get the emails each firm publishes on its own website, often info@ and sometimes a principal's own, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 541330, Engineering Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Civil Engineers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/civil-engineers.htm) · About 380,600 jobs in 2025, across all industries. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the engineering firms in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

There is no single Census code for event venues. Banquet halls, event spaces, conference centers, hotels, restaurants with private rooms and community halls all file under different industries, so the most complete count of what exists in your area is Google Maps itself. The buyers who book them are easier to size: the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted about 172,100 meeting, convention and event planner jobs in 2025, and the CDC recorded 2,041,926 marriages in 2023. Most venues are independent and owner-run, with a sales or event manager who answers inquiries and books dates. Hotel and conference venues usually have a sales team and may buy through a management company or brand. Venues sell space, so they buy anything that fills dates or raises spend per event: marketing, booking software, catering, rentals, AV and décor. ## What's in a event venue lead list Every row is one event venue business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for event venues: | Field | Why it matters for event venues | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates dedicated venues (Event venue, Banquet hall) from hotels, restaurants and community centers that also host events. A rental company sells to all of them; venue software sells mostly to dedicated venues. | | **email + grade** | Venues publish an events or inquiries address because that's how they get bookings. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger venues list separate addresses for sales, catering and the general manager. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the person who buys, not the inbox that answers couples and party hosts. | | **website + contact\_form** | Venues without a pricing page, a virtual tour or an inquiry form lose bookings. That's the lead for web design, photography and booking software. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a rough proxy for events hosted. A venue with a strong rating and few reviews is underbooked or not asking; one with hundreds of reviews is busy and buys at volume. | | **instagram / facebook / tiktok** | Venues sell on photos. An active Instagram means the venue markets itself; a missing or stale one is an opening for social media and photography offers. | | **address + in\_area** | Caterers, rentals and AV companies deliver within a radius. Draw that radius and keep only venues inside it. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every event venue No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** event venue, event space, banquet hall, reception hall, party hall, party venue, private event space, event center, conference center, meeting space, meeting room rental, corporate event venue, rooftop event space, loft event space, warehouse event space, quinceanera hall, birthday party venue, kids party venue, community hall rental, ballroom, garden venue, barn venue, restaurant private dining room, hotel ballroom, convention center. **Google Maps categories:** Event venue, Banquet hall, Wedding venue, Conference center, Convention center, Function room facility, Community center. Leadraft includes these in its [Events keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#events) (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to event venues, and what works - **Caterers, bartending and beverage services.** Many venues keep a preferred vendor list or allow outside catering. Ask to be added to the list and offer a tasting for the event manager, not a generic brochure. - **Party rental, AV, lighting and décor companies.** Tables, linens, tents, staging, sound and lighting. Reach every venue in your delivery radius with a clear price sheet and offer a walk-through so you know the room. - **Venue booking and event management software.** Inquiry tracking, calendars, contracts, deposits and floor plans. Pitch the owner or sales manager on faster replies to inquiries and fewer double-booked dates. - **Marketing, photography and video agencies.** Venues need photos of real events, virtual tours and visibility for "event space near me". Show the owner where they rank in their city and offer a styled shoot. - **Event planners and corporate event buyers.** Planners sourcing space for a conference, gala or offsite can list every venue in the city, filter by category and rating, and send one request for proposal to all of them. - **Cleaning, security and staffing companies.** Venues need post-event cleaning, door security and event staff on weekends. A per-event price and weekend availability is the hook. ## How to segment and qualify a event venue list ### Dedicated venues vs hotels and restaurants Use the category column. Dedicated venues (Event venue, Banquet hall) live on events; hotels and restaurants treat events as a side line and buy through a sales or catering manager. ### Social vs corporate Banquet halls and party venues host weddings, quinceañeras and birthdays; conference centers and meeting spaces host corporate events on weekdays. Search the two vocabularies separately and tag each row. ### Wedding venues Wedding venues are a large and seasonal subset with their own vendors. For a list built for that market, see the [wedding venue email list](https://leadraft.co/leads/wedding-venues). ### By capacity proxy Google Maps doesn't list capacity, but category, website copy and review count help. Ballrooms, convention centers and venues with hundreds of reviews are the large rooms; lofts and private dining rooms are small. ### Weak online presence Filter for no website, few reviews or no Instagram. These venues are the best leads for marketing, photography and booking offers, and you can name the gap in your first line. ### Newly opened venues New venues need vendors, software and bookings at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends new event venue listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach event venues ### Write on weekdays, early in the week Venues work weekends and evenings. Event managers catch up on email midweek, and many venues are closed or quiet on Mondays. Avoid Friday afternoons, when they are setting up. ### Sell before the busy season Spring and fall are peak for social events, and December for corporate parties. Pitch vendor partnerships and software in winter and late summer, when managers have time to plan. ### Offer to be on the preferred vendor list For caterers, rentals, photographers and planners, the venue's preferred vendor list is the real prize. Ask how the list works and what they need from a vendor, rather than pitching a package. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call venue lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Event venues lead lists: questions How do I find event venue leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the venue terms that matter to you (event venue, banquet hall, event space, conference center and so on), and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each venue's own website, checks each mailbox, and lets you export CSV or XLSX or push the list to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many event venues are there in the US? There's no official count. The Census Bureau has no single industry code for event venues: banquet halls, hotels, restaurants, conference centers and community halls are counted in different industries. The most practical count is what Google Maps shows for your area, which Leadraft's free preview gives you before you spend a credit. Can I get a list of banquet halls only? Yes. Search banquet hall, reception hall and party hall, and filter by the Banquet hall category. Leadraft removes duplicates across terms, so a hall that appears in several searches is one row and one credit. How much does an event venue email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per venue, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. As an example, if the free preview shows 1,500 venues across a metro (including hotels and restaurants with event rooms), that fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 1,500 verified emails, Growth ($49 a month, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Does the list include hotels and restaurants that host events? Only if you search for them. Event venue and banquet hall terms mostly return dedicated venues. Add terms like hotel ballroom, restaurant private dining room or meeting space if you want hotels and restaurants with event rooms, then use the category column to keep them as their own segment. Do you include event manager names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people.

Fencing is a seasonal, local trade dominated by small contractors. A typical company is an owner, one or two crews, a post-hole auger and a trailer, and many also build decks, gates and pergolas. The Census Bureau doesn't publish a separate count for fence companies: they're filed under other specialty trade contractors along with many other trades. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 21,470 fence erector jobs in May 2023, 17,420 of them at specialty trade contractors and 960 at building material dealers. The market splits into residential privacy and pool fences for homeowners, farm and ranch fencing in rural counties, and commercial, security and chain link work for businesses, schools and government. Some fence supply yards also install, and a few franchise brands operate in larger metros. Owners buy materials constantly and care about lead flow in spring and summer. ## What's in a fence company lead list Every row is one fence company business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for fence companies: | Field | Why it matters for fence companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits installers (Fence contractor) from supply yards (Fence supply store) and catches deck builders, welders and landscapers that also do fences. Material distributors and installers' software vendors want different rows. | | **email + grade** | Fence companies usually publish one office or estimates address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger contractors list separate addresses for estimates, commercial bids and accounts. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the owner or estimator instead of the general inbox. | | **website + contact\_form** | Homeowners ask for fence quotes online. A contractor with no website or no estimate form is losing jobs, which is the opening for web and quoting vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a fair proxy for job volume. Busy companies with strong reviews are buying materials and hiring; those with few reviews need marketing. | | **phone** | Owners take estimate calls from job sites. Late afternoon calls tend to reach them. Follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **address + service\_area + in\_area** | Most fence contractors are service-area businesses. Use the area and distance columns to keep only companies that serve your territory, or draw a polygon around the rural counties you supply. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every fence company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** fence company, fence contractor, fence installation, fence installer, fence repair, wood fence installation, vinyl fence installation, aluminum fence installer, chain link fence contractor, privacy fence installation, wrought iron fence, ornamental iron fence, pool fence installation, farm fence contractor, ranch fencing, agricultural fencing, commercial fence contractor, security fence installation, gate installation, automatic gate installer, fence supply store, fence materials supplier, temporary fence rental, deck and fence builder, composite fence. **Google Maps categories:** Fence contractor, Fence supply store, Deck builder, Landscaper, Welder, Contractor. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to fence companies, and what works - **Fence material distributors and manufacturers.** Posts, pickets, vinyl and aluminum panels, chain link, gates and hardware. Lead with contractor pricing, stock levels before spring and delivery to the job site. - **Home-service marketing and local SEO agencies.** "Fence company near me" is a seasonal, high-ticket search. Show the owner where they rank on the map in their main ZIP codes and how many reviews the top three companies have. - **Estimating and field service software.** Measure from satellite images, quote on site, collect deposits and schedule crews. Pitch more signed estimates per week and less time on paperwork. - **Equipment dealers and rental yards.** Augers, post drivers, compact track loaders and trailers. Lead with demo days and rental-to-own before the season. - **Pool builders, landscapers and home builders.** Pool installs need a code-compliant fence and new homes need a yard fence. A short note proposing a referral or subcontracting arrangement, with your service area, is an easy first step. ## How to segment and qualify a fence company list ### Residential vs commercial and security Run residential terms (privacy fence, vinyl fence, pool fence) and commercial terms (chain link fence contractor, security fence installation) as separate searches. They work for different clients and buy different materials. ### Farm and ranch fencing Agricultural fence contractors are spread across rural counties. Draw a polygon around the counties you serve and search farm fence and ranch fencing terms. ### Installers vs supply yards Use the category column to split Fence contractor from Fence supply store. Supply yards are both a channel and a competitor for distributors; installers are the end buyer. ### Weak online presence Filter for rows with no website, a free email provider or fewer than 20 reviews. Our guide on [finding businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews) shows how to turn that into a first line. ### Newly opened companies New fence contractors need material accounts, insurance and a listing that ranks. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach fence companies ### Sell before the season In most of the US, fence demand peaks from spring through summer. Late winter is the best time to reach owners about materials, equipment and marketing, before their calendars fill. ### Write for the owner Most fence companies are small enough that the owner reads the office inbox. Keep the email short, name the company and one specific observation, and ask one question. ### Lead with estimates and margins Fence owners count estimates sent, close rate and material cost per foot. Offers framed in those terms land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find fence company leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Fence companies lead lists: questions How do I find fence company leads? Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as fence company, fence contractor, vinyl fence installation, chain link fence contractor and farm fence contractor. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only companies inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each company's website and checks every one before you export. How many fence companies are there in the US? There is no official count of fence companies: the Census Bureau files them with other specialty trade contractors. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 21,470 fence erector jobs in May 2023, most of them at specialty trade contractors. The practical way to count the companies in your market is to search it on Google Maps with several fence terms and dedupe the results, which Leadraft does for you. Can I get a list of only commercial fence contractors? Yes. Search commercial terms (commercial fence contractor, security fence installation, chain link fence contractor) and check the category column and each company's website before you export. Residential installers also turn up in these searches, so expect to drop some rows. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a fence company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. As an example, if a statewide search returns 1,500 fence companies, the whole list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one county first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each company publishes on its own website, often an office or estimates address and sometimes a named owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2023: Fence Erectors (47-4031)](https://www.bls.gov/oes/2023/may/oes474031.htm) · 21,470 jobs, mean hourly wage $22.43; 17,420 at other specialty trade contractors, 960 at building material and supplies dealers. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the fence companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

BLS counts about 299,400 personal financial advisor jobs, and the Census Bureau counts about 23,400 investment advice establishments with paid employees, employing about 110,000 people. Those counts don't line up neatly because advisors work under several models. Some are employees of wirehouses and broker-dealers; some are **captive** advisors tied to one firm's products (insurance-affiliated and branch-office models); others run or join **independent RIAs** that pick their own custodian, software and marketing. On Google Maps they all appear as local offices, many under a single advisor's name. Who buys is the main question: at a broker-dealer branch, the home office approves vendors and outside marketing; at an independent RIA, the founder or COO decides. ## How many financial advisors are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 23,359 establishments in **Investment advice (NAICS 523930)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for financial advisors: | Field | Why it matters for financial advisors | | --- | --- | | **business** | Branch offices of large firms usually carry the brand ("Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Jane Smith"). Independent RIAs trade under their own name. The business name is the quickest way to split the two models. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Independent firms publish info@ plus advisor addresses on team pages; branch advisors often have an address on the parent firm's domain. Up to 5 emails per office with role and source show which domain you're writing to, and so whose compliance team will read it. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **website** | A Maps link that points to a page on a large firm's domain marks a branch advisor. An independent domain marks a firm that controls its own site, marketing and vendor choices. | | **linkedin** | Advisors use LinkedIn more than most local trades. A firm page usually means several advisors or staff and some marketing activity. | | **rating and reviews** | Reviews were long off-limits for advisors; since the SEC Marketing Rule took effect, some firms use them. A firm with reviews is comfortable with modern marketing; most still have few or none. | | **address, city, state, in\_area** | Advisors register with states or the SEC depending on size, and many vendors and wholesalers cover set territories. The area fence keeps your list inside the territory you work. | | **phone** | Small advisory offices answer their own phones. For partnership and referral offers, a call after the email is normal in this trade. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every financial advisor No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** financial advisor, financial planner, certified financial planner, wealth management, wealth manager, investment advisor, registered investment advisor, fee only financial advisor, fiduciary financial advisor, retirement planning, retirement planner, investment management, financial consultant, estate planning financial advisor, financial advisor for doctors, financial advisor for small business, 401k advisor, family office, private wealth management, investment firm, edward jones, ameriprise financial advisor. **Google Maps categories:** Financial planner, Financial consultant, Investment service, Investment company, Financial institution. Leadraft includes these in its [Legal & financial keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#legal-financial) (68 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to financial advisors, and what works - **Advisor marketing agencies, web designers and SEO.** Sell to independent RIAs that own their site. Lead with niche positioning ("retirement planning for teachers in Ohio") and say you understand marketing-rule review. Branch advisors usually can't buy outside marketing without home-office approval. - **Advisor technology: CRM, planning software, portals, compliance tools.** Independents choose their stack; branch advisors use the firm's. Pitch founders and COOs at RIAs, and lead with integrations to the custodian and the time saved. - **RIA aggregators, acquirers and recruiters.** Advisors near retirement and breakaway advisors are the audience. A discreet, short note to the principal, on a personal channel if they've published one, is the norm. - **TAMPs, model providers and asset managers' wholesalers.** Territory-based. Draw the territory, filter to independents, and lead with outsourcing investment work so the advisor can spend more time with clients. - **CPAs, estate attorneys and insurance agencies.** Referral partnerships. Offer a concrete exchange (a joint client seminar, a tax-planning referral path), not a sales pitch. ## How to segment and qualify a financial advisor list ### Independent RIAs vs branch and captive advisors Add brand terms for the large networks as separate search lines, then filter on business name and website domain. Independents are the market for most vendors; branch advisors are a market for recruiters. ### By niche Run niche search lines ("financial advisor for doctors", "retirement planning", "fee only financial advisor") and keep them as separate lists. Niche firms have clearer messaging and respond to niche-specific offers. ### Solo advisors vs teams A business name that's a person's name, no LinkedIn page and no team page usually means a solo practice. A firm brand, LinkedIn and several emails usually means a team with an operations person. ### By territory Wholesalers and vendors with territories can draw them as a polygon or upload a KML file, so the list matches the territory exactly. ### Firms with weak websites Filter independents with no website or a template site. That's the web design list, as long as your offer covers compliance review of the new site. ## How to reach financial advisors ### Assume compliance reads your email Broker-dealers must keep and supervise their reps' business email under FINRA rules (Rules 3110 and 4511), and SEC-registered advisers keep records under Rule 204-2. Many advisors' inboxes are archived and reviewed. Write nothing you wouldn't want a compliance officer to read, and don't ask an advisor to reply from a personal address. ### Know who can say yes A branch or captive advisor usually can't buy outside marketing, software or data without home-office approval. An independent RIA founder can. If you sell to both, say in the first line that your product is approved, or that it's for independent firms. ### Be precise about regulation in your pitch If you sell marketing, show you know the SEC Marketing Rule (testimonials, endorsements and performance advertising have conditions). Advisors trust vendors who mention rules accurately and drop those who promise reviews or rankings without caveats. ### Time it around the quarter Quarter-end rebalancing and client reporting fill the first two weeks after each quarter closes; tax season adds client meetings in March and April. Mid-quarter weeks are the best time to reach advisors. ### Keep it B2B and CAN-SPAM clean B2B email to advisory firms in the US is allowed under CAN-SPAM with a truthful subject, a postal address and a working opt-out.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Financial advisors lead lists: questions How many financial advisors are there in the US? BLS counts about 299,400 personal financial advisor jobs in 2025, 65% of them in securities and investment firms. The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 23,400 investment advice establishments with paid employees (NAICS 523930), employing about 110,100 people. Google Maps lists independent firms and many branch offices of large networks, often under the individual advisor's name. Can I get a financial advisor email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map (or upload a KML territory), and choose whether to include offices just outside it. Can I separate independent RIAs from branch advisors? Mostly. Branch offices usually carry the parent firm's brand in the business name and link to a page on its domain. Filter the business name and website columns. To confirm a firm's registration, look it up on the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure site. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the firm's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. How much does a financial advisor email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per office, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a five-state territory search finds 9,000 advisory offices and you export 2,500 verified emails from independents, that's 9,000 business credits and 2,500 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49. Do I get assets under management or advisor licenses? No. Leadraft works from Google Maps and the firm's own website, so it has no AUM, licenses or registration data.

Flooring contractors are small: the Census Bureau counted 17,989 establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 238330), and about 90% had fewer than 10 staff. Many installers work alone or as subcontractors to flooring stores, builders and remodelers, and they don't show up in that count. California (2,194), Florida (1,922), New York (1,036), Washington (856), Texas (818) and Illinois (774) have the most. The trade splits by material (hardwood, tile, carpet, resilient and LVP, epoxy) and by customer: homeowners, general contractors and builders, and commercial projects. Ceramic tile setters are mostly counted separately under tile contractors (NAICS 238340), so search tile terms too. Flooring stores that sell and install are retailers in the Census but behave like contractors, and on Google Maps they sit next to each other. ## How many flooring contractors are there in each state? California, Florida and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 17,989 establishments in **Flooring contractors (NAICS 238330)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 2,194 | 12.2% | | 2 | Florida | 1,922 | 10.7% | | 3 | New York | 1,036 | 5.8% | | 4 | Washington | 856 | 4.8% | | 5 | Texas | 818 | 4.5% | | 6 | Illinois | 774 | 4.3% | | 7 | New Jersey | 553 | 3.1% | | 8 | Pennsylvania | 545 | 3.0% | | 9 | North Carolina | 543 | 3.0% | | 10 | Oregon | 489 | 2.7% | | 11 | Massachusetts | 488 | 2.7% | | 12 | Virginia | 483 | 2.7% | | 13 | Colorado | 482 | 2.7% | | 14 | Minnesota | 466 | 2.6% | | 15 | Georgia | 451 | 2.5% | | 16 | Wisconsin | 405 | 2.3% | | 17 | Michigan | 402 | 2.2% | | 18 | Ohio | 399 | 2.2% | | 19 | Utah | 364 | 2.0% | | 20 | Arizona | 352 | 2.0% | | 21 | Maryland | 332 | 1.8% | | 22 | Missouri | 297 | 1.7% | | 23 | Indiana | 279 | 1.6% | | 24 | Idaho | 252 | 1.4% | | 25 | South Carolina | 223 | 1.2% | | 26 | Tennessee | 214 | 1.2% | | 27 | Nebraska | 171 | 1.0% | | 28 | Kansas | 147 | 0.8% | | 29 | Iowa | 143 | 0.8% | | 30 | Connecticut | 140 | 0.8% | | 31 | Nevada | 137 | 0.8% | | 32 | Kentucky | 136 | 0.8% | | 33 | Louisiana | 134 | 0.7% | | 34 | Montana | 133 | 0.7% | | 35 | Oklahoma | 127 | 0.7% | | 36 | Alabama | 122 | 0.7% | | 37 | Arkansas | 116 | 0.6% | | 38 | Rhode Island | 101 | 0.6% | | 39 | New Hampshire | 93 | 0.5% | | 40 | Maine | 82 | 0.5% | | 41 | New Mexico | 77 | 0.4% | | 42 | South Dakota | 76 | 0.4% | | 43 | Mississippi | 63 | 0.4% | | 44 | North Dakota | 63 | 0.4% | | 45 | Delaware | 62 | 0.3% | | 46 | Hawaii | 59 | 0.3% | | 47 | Alaska | 54 | 0.3% | | 48 | Wyoming | 45 | 0.3% | | 49 | Vermont | 42 | 0.2% | | 50 | West Virginia | 41 | 0.2% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 6 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a flooring contractor lead list Every row is one flooring contractor business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for flooring contractors: | Field | Why it matters for flooring contractors | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Flooring contractor, Flooring store, Tile contractor and Carpet installer are different businesses. Stores buy inventory and showroom displays; installers buy tools, adhesives and leads. | | **email + grade** | Installers often publish one address, sometimes a Gmail; stores list an office or sales address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so it's a maybe. | | **website** | The service pages show the materials they install and whether they do commercial work. Many solo installers have no site at all. | | **address + hours** | A street address with retail hours is a showroom. A service-area listing with no hours is a mobile installer. This one split decides most pitches. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a rough proxy for job volume. Strong ratings with few reviews often mean a good installer who works mostly by referral. | | **instagram / facebook** | Flooring sells on photos of finished rooms. Active profiles mark firms that market themselves; missing ones are a pitch for social media help. | | **phone** | Installers answer between jobs. Call by hand, follow the TCPA, and expect a callback at the end of the day. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every flooring contractor No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** flooring contractor, flooring installer, flooring company, floor installation service, hardwood flooring contractor, hardwood floor installer, hardwood floor refinishing, floor sanding and refinishing, laminate flooring installer, vinyl plank flooring installer, lvp flooring installer, tile contractor, tile installer, carpet installer, carpet installation service, epoxy flooring contractor, garage floor coating, commercial flooring contractor, polished concrete floors, subfloor repair, flooring store, carpet store, tile store. **Google Maps categories:** Flooring contractor, Flooring store, Floor refinishing service, Tile contractor, Carpet installer, Carpet store, Tile store. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to flooring contractors, and what works - **Flooring distributors and manufacturers.** LVP, hardwood, tile, underlayment, adhesives and trims. Recruit installers and stores as dealers in metros where you're thin, and lead with lead times and contractor pricing. - **Tool and equipment sellers.** Sanders, moisture meters, saws, dust extraction and epoxy equipment. Target refinishers and epoxy contractors with demos and rental-to-own options. - **Builders, remodelers and general contractors.** Contractors who need reliable flooring subs can list every installer in their market and ask for availability and pricing per square foot. - **Marketing, web and lead-gen agencies.** Homeowners search "flooring installers near me" and compare photos. Show the owner their ranking and a gallery-first site. - **Estimating, financing and field software.** Measuring apps, quoting, consumer financing and scheduling. Pitch faster quotes and more closed jobs, especially to stores. ## How to segment and qualify a flooring contractor list ### Stores vs installers Split by category and hours. Stores have showrooms and staff; installers are crews. Pitch inventory and displays to stores, tools and job leads to installers. ### By material Search hardwood, tile, carpet, LVP and epoxy terms separately and keep the search term on each row. A sander pitch to a carpet installer wastes a send. ### Residential vs commercial Commercial flooring contractors bid on offices, schools and healthcare and work with [general contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/general-contractors). Search "commercial flooring contractor" and check the site's project pages. ### Weak online presence No website or fewer than 20 reviews: the best targets for marketing and web offers. Name the gap in your first line. ### New flooring businesses A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your market surfaces new flooring listings on Google Maps, when the owner is choosing suppliers and building a reputation. ## How to reach flooring contractors ### Installers read email at night Crews are on site from early morning. Schedule emails for the evening and call before 8 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Store staff answer during retail hours. ### Speak in square feet Flooring is priced by the square foot. Frame offers as cost or margin per square foot, jobs per month or days saved per job. ### Spring and pre-holiday peaks Homeowners redo floors in spring and before the holidays. Supply and marketing pitches land best a month or two before those peaks. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Many installer numbers are cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find flooring contractor leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Flooring contractors lead lists: questions How do I find flooring contractor leads? Choose the area, then search Google Maps for every variant: flooring contractor, flooring installer, hardwood floor refinishing, tile contractor, carpet installer, vinyl plank flooring installer, epoxy flooring contractor and flooring store. Remove duplicates, keep the on-trade rows, and find and check an email for each business. Leadraft does those steps in one search and charges each business once. How many flooring contractors are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 17,989 flooring contractor establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 238330). Tile setters are mostly counted separately (NAICS 238340), flooring stores are counted as retailers, and solo installers with no payroll aren't counted, so Google Maps shows more flooring businesses than that. Can I get only hardwood or only tile installers? Yes. Search the material terms separately and filter by category and search term. Leadraft keeps each business's Google Maps categories, so Tile contractor, Carpet installer and Floor refinishing service rows can be split apart. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the business's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a flooring contractor email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has 1,922 flooring contractors with employees (Census 2023), and the whole US has 17,989; both fit in the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, with 1,000 checked emails). For up to 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49) covers it; Pro ($99) gives 15,000. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each business publishes on its own website, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 238330, Flooring Contractors)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states.

The Census Bureau counted 11,834 florists with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 453110), and about 9 in 10 had fewer than 10 staff, with about 55,000 employees in total. Floral designers who work alone from a studio or home, and grocery store floral counters, aren't in that count. California leads (1,203), then New York (962), Texas (818), Florida (657), Pennsylvania (535) and Illinois (487). Most florists are independent, owner-run shops. Revenue swings with the calendar: Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, prom and wedding season, plus everyday sympathy work for funeral homes. Many shops take orders through wire services as well as their own website, and the owner usually buys flowers, supplies and software. ## How many florists are there in each state?

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** florist, flower shop, flower delivery, same day flower delivery, wedding florist, event florist, floral design studio, floral designer, funeral flowers, sympathy flowers, flower arrangements, bouquet delivery, rose delivery, flower bar, dried flowers, flower subscription, corporate flowers, wholesale florist, flower market, flower farm, plant shop, orchid shop. **Google Maps categories:** Florist, Flower delivery, Wholesale florist, Flower designer, Flower market, Garden center, Wedding service, Gift shop. ## Who sells to florists, and what works - **Flower wholesalers, growers and importers.** Fresh flowers, greens and specialty stems on a delivery schedule. Lead with freshness, the stems they can't get locally and delivery days that match their order days. - **Floral supply companies.** Vases, ribbon, foam alternatives, wrap, boxes and cooler equipment. Pitch before the big holidays, with clear pricing on what they reorder. - **POS, website and delivery software.** Online ordering, delivery routing and order management outside the wire services. Pitch keeping more of each order and fewer missed deliveries. - **Wedding and event businesses.** Venues, planners and photographers build preferred-vendor lists. List every event florist in your region and invite the ones that fit. See our [wedding venue list](https://leadraft.co/leads/wedding-venues). - **Funeral homes and corporate buyers.** Funeral homes, hotels, offices and restaurants want reliable standing orders. Buyers can list every florist nearby and ask for weekly or event pricing. See our [funeral home list](https://leadraft.co/leads/funeral-homes). - **Marketing and web agencies.** Show the florist how it ranks for "florist near me" and "flower delivery" in its city, especially in the weeks before Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. ## How to segment and qualify a florist list ### Retail shops vs event florists Run retail terms (florist, flower shop, flower delivery) separately from event terms (wedding florist, event florist, floral design studio). Shops buy daily; event florists buy per event and plan seasons ahead. ### Wholesale and growers Wholesale florists, flower markets and flower farms are suppliers to the rest. Keep them as their own list, whether you sell to them or source from them. ### Delivery-heavy shops Shops that offer same-day delivery on their website and have high review counts usually run vans and drivers. They are leads for routing software, vehicle wraps and insurance. ### Weak online presence Filter for florists with no website or under 30 reviews. They often rely on wire services and walk-ins, and respond to direct-ordering and marketing offers. ### Newly opened florists A new shop needs a wholesaler, supplies, a cooler, POS and a website. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach florists ### Stay out of the holiday weeks The two weeks before Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are the busiest of the year. Don't pitch then. Pitch holiday offers six to eight weeks before, and pitch everything else in summer or January. ### Mornings are for processing Florists process deliveries and build orders in the morning, and drivers go out late morning. Email so it lands early afternoon, and call between 1 and 3 p.m. ### Lead with margin Florists watch costs per stem and fees per order. Offers framed as margin kept, waste reduced or orders won land better than feature lists. See [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product) if you sell a product florists could carry. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Florists lead lists: questions How do I find florist leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search terms such as florist, flower shop, flower delivery, wedding florist and wholesale florist, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each florist's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many florists are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 11,834 florists with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 453110). Solo floral designers without payroll and grocery floral departments aren't in that number. The BLS counts 45,200 floral designer jobs in 2025. How much does a florist email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per florist, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. With 11,834 florists with employees in the whole country (Census 2023), a nationwide list fits one month of the Starter plan ($19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). For 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Can I get only wedding and event florists? Mostly, yes. Search wedding florist, event florist and floral design studio, then check the category and website columns. Many retail shops also do weddings, so expect overlap. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the florist's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the florist's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each florist publishes on its own website, often an orders or info address and sometimes the owner's, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 453110, Florists)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Floral Designers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/arts-and-design/floral-designers.htm) · 45,200 jobs in 2025; 55% in florists; 14% self-employed. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the florists in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counted 12,487 mobile food service establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 722330, which covers food trucks, food carts, coffee carts and mobile canteens). About 93% had fewer than 10 staff, and owner-operators without payroll aren't counted at all. California leads (1,329), then Florida (1,151), Texas (1,140), New York (632), Oregon (498), Washington (411) and Colorado (407). Food trucks move, and that shapes the list: many list a commissary kitchen, a regular parking spot or a food truck park as their address, some list only a service area, and some aren't on Google Maps at all and live on Instagram. Google Maps still lists many trucks, especially those with a regular spot, a park location or a catering business. The owner is usually the cook and the buyer. ## How many food trucks are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 12,487 establishments in **Mobile food services (NAICS 722330)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 1,329 | 10.6% | | 2 | Florida | 1,151 | 9.2% | | 3 | Texas | 1,140 | 9.1% | | 4 | New York | 632 | 5.1% | | 5 | Oregon | 498 | 4.0% | | 6 | Washington | 411 | 3.3% | | 7 | Colorado | 407 | 3.3% | | 8 | North Carolina | 367 | 2.9% | | 9 | Pennsylvania | 363 | 2.9% | | 10 | Ohio | 359 | 2.9% | | 11 | Virginia | 339 | 2.7% | | 12 | Arizona | 297 | 2.4% | | 13 | Massachusetts | 274 | 2.2% | | 14 | Tennessee | 274 | 2.2% | | 15 | Michigan | 251 | 2.0% | | 16 | Minnesota | 233 | 1.9% | | 17 | New Jersey | 232 | 1.9% | | 18 | Illinois | 229 | 1.8% | | 19 | Missouri | 224 | 1.8% | | 20 | Utah | 220 | 1.8% | | 21 | Georgia | 216 | 1.7% | | 22 | Idaho | 191 | 1.5% | | 23 | Indiana | 179 | 1.4% | | 24 | Hawaii | 178 | 1.4% | | 25 | Maryland | 178 | 1.4% | | 26 | South Carolina | 177 | 1.4% | | 27 | Arkansas | 166 | 1.3% | | 28 | Wisconsin | 161 | 1.3% | | 29 | Nevada | 147 | 1.2% | | 30 | Oklahoma | 144 | 1.2% | | 31 | Alabama | 126 | 1.0% | | 32 | Connecticut | 114 | 0.9% | | 33 | New Mexico | 112 | 0.9% | | 34 | Kentucky | 111 | 0.9% | | 35 | Louisiana | 107 | 0.9% | | 36 | Montana | 107 | 0.9% | | 37 | Alaska | 101 | 0.8% | | 38 | Kansas | 93 | 0.7% | | 39 | Maine | 92 | 0.7% | | 40 | Iowa | 91 | 0.7% | | 41 | Nebraska | 81 | 0.6% | | 42 | Mississippi | 54 | 0.4% | | 43 | Vermont | 47 | 0.4% | | 44 | Wyoming | 46 | 0.4% | | 45 | Delaware | 42 | 0.3% | | 46 | Rhode Island | 41 | 0.3% | | 47 | New Hampshire | 39 | 0.3% | | 48 | West Virginia | 38 | 0.3% | | 49 | South Dakota | 33 | 0.3% | | 50 | North Dakota | 32 | 0.3% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 13 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a food truck lead list Every row is one food truck business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for food trucks: | Field | Why it matters for food trucks | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Many trucks are filed under their food (Taco restaurant, Barbecue restaurant) rather than as a truck. Search truck terms, then check the categories and business name to confirm each row is mobile. | | **address + service\_area + in\_area** | A truck's address may be its commissary, its usual spot or a food truck park. Service-area listings have no street address. Use the area and distance columns to keep trucks that work your territory, and don't plan a route from these addresses. | | **instagram / facebook / tiktok** | Trucks post their daily location on social media. These columns are often the most current way to find and reach a truck, and an active account means an active business. | | **email + grade** | Trucks with a website usually publish one booking or catering address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe. Many trucks use Gmail, which the free\_provider column flags. | | **website + contact\_form** | Trucks that cater events have a booking form. Those are the trucks with more revenue and a real sales process; a truck without one is a lead for web and booking vendors. | | **hours + last\_seen** | Food truck hours change often. Posted hours, plus last\_seen (when the listing was last seen on Google Maps), help you judge whether a truck is still active. | | **phone** | Usually the owner's cell phone. Call by hand, never during service, and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every food truck No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** food truck, food trucks near me, food cart, taco truck, bbq food truck, burger food truck, pizza truck, wood fired pizza truck, coffee truck, coffee cart, dessert truck, ice cream truck, shaved ice truck, lobster roll truck, halal cart, hot dog cart, mobile food vendor, food truck catering, food truck park, street food, lunch truck, crepe truck, mobile bar. **Google Maps categories:** Food truck, Caterer, Taco restaurant, Hot dog stand, Coffee stand, Ice cream shop, Snack bar, Barbecue restaurant. Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to food trucks, and what works - **Event organizers, breweries and food truck parks.** Festivals, breweries without kitchens, apartment complexes and office parks need rotating trucks. List every truck in your region and invite them to apply. See our [brewery list](https://leadraft.co/leads/breweries). - **Commissary kitchens.** Many cities require trucks to operate from a licensed commissary. Offer parking, prep space, water and waste service at a clear monthly price. - **Food truck builders, wrap shops and repair services.** New builds, kitchen upgrades, generators, vehicle wraps and mobile repair. Lead with turnaround time, because a truck off the road earns nothing. - **POS and payment providers.** Mobile card readers, offline payments, online preorders and low rates on small tickets. See [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads). - **Food and packaging distributors.** Proteins, buns, tortillas, drinks and takeout packaging, delivered to the commissary. Small, frequent orders matter more than bulk discounts. - **Insurance providers.** Trucks need commercial auto, general liability and often proof of cover for each event. Fast certificates of insurance for event organizers are a real selling point. ## How to segment and qualify a food truck list ### Trucks with a fixed spot vs roaming trucks Trucks at a food truck park or regular location have a street address and steady hours. Roaming trucks often list a service area. Use the address and service area columns to split them; roaming trucks respond better to email and social than to a visit. ### Catering trucks Trucks that offer event catering have a booking form and higher revenue. Search "food truck catering" and look for a contact form column. They buy software, insurance and marketing. ### By cuisine Distributors and event organizers want a mix of cuisines. Search taco, BBQ, pizza, coffee and dessert trucks separately and tag each row. ### Food carts and coffee carts Carts are smaller and cheaper to run than trucks, with different equipment. Keep them as their own segment. ### Newly listed trucks New trucks need a commissary, insurance, POS and a wrap. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach food trucks ### Don't contact during service Trucks are busiest at lunch and dinner. Email so it lands mid-morning or mid-afternoon, and never call during the lunch rush. ### Expect a smaller email rate Many trucks have no website, so Leadraft finds emails for fewer trucks than for storefront trades. Use the phone and social columns for the rest, and keep the email list for the trucks that have one. ### Plan around the season In cold climates many trucks pause in winter and plan the next season. Winter is the time to pitch builds, wraps and event bookings; summer is the time to stay out of their way. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Most listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search terms such as food truck, taco truck, food cart, coffee truck and food truck catering, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each truck's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. Trucks not listed on Google Maps won't be in the list. How many food trucks are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 12,487 mobile food service establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 722330, which includes food trucks, food carts and coffee carts). Owner-operated trucks with no payroll aren't counted, so the real number of trucks is higher. Are food trucks on Google Maps? Many are, but not all. Trucks with a regular spot, a food truck park location or a catering business usually have a listing, often at their commissary or usual spot. Some list only a service area. Some trucks have no listing and post their location on Instagram only, and Leadraft won't find those. How much does a food truck email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 1,140 mobile food service establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide food truck list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails), with room to spare. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, enough to test a city like Austin first. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the truck's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each truck publishes on its own website, often a booking or catering address, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 722330, Mobile Food Services)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2017 NAICS Index File](https://www.census.gov/naics/2017NAICS/2017_NAICS_Index_File.xlsx) · Lists food carts, coffee carts, mobile canteens and mobile food stands under 722330. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the food trucks in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Funeral service is a small, steady, mostly family-run market. The National Funeral Directors Association counts 15,401 funeral homes and says about 75% are family- or privately owned; the Census Bureau's count is close, at 15,183 establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 812210). New York (1,027), Texas (982), Pennsylvania (966) and California (794) lead, then Ohio (784), Illinois (743) and Florida (645). The rest belong to larger companies that tend to buy centrally. The big shift is cremation: NFDA projects a 63.4% cremation rate for 2025, which pushes homes toward memorial services, cremation products, online arrangements and pre-need planning. Funeral directors are on call around the clock, and the owner is usually the buyer. ## How many funeral homes are there in each state? New York, Texas and Pennsylvania have the most.

These are the columns that matter most for funeral homes: | Field | Why it matters for funeral homes | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates funeral homes from crematories, cemeteries, monument makers and pet services. A casket supplier, a cremation equipment maker and a memorial-stone engraver sell to different rows. | | **email + grade** | Family funeral homes usually publish one office address, often read by the owner or a family member. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts anything, so it's a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger homes list separate addresses for pre-planning, obituaries and the director. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the owner rather than the obituary inbox. | | **website + website\_platform** | Funeral home sites carry obituaries, livestreams and price lists, and many run on funeral-specific platforms. The platform column shows who's on which, which matters if you sell websites or obituary software. | | **business name + website** | Group-owned homes often keep their old family name but share a corporate domain. Grouping by domain separates group locations from true independents. | | **rating + reviews** | Families review funeral homes on care and communication. Reviews show which homes handle more services and which have room to improve their follow-up with families. | | **phone** | Funeral homes answer the phone 24 hours, because calls are often about a death.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** funeral home, funeral service, funeral parlor, mortuary, funeral chapel, funeral director, family owned funeral home, cremation service, crematory, direct cremation, green burial, cemetery, memorial park, mausoleum, pet cremation, pet funeral service, pre need funeral planning, memorial service, headstone and monument, casket store, funeral flowers, jewish funeral home, muslim funeral service. **Google Maps categories:** Funeral home, Funeral director, Crematory, Cemetery, Monument maker, Pet funeral service. ## Who sells to funeral homes, and what works - **Casket, urn and memorial product suppliers.** Rising cremation means more urns, keepsakes and memorial products. Lead with the products families now ask for and your delivery time. - **Funeral software and website providers.** Case management, online arrangements, obituary pages and livestreaming. Show the owner how families arrange online and how it frees the director's time. - **Pre-need insurance and planning firms.** Pre-need contracts bring future business. Lead with how you support the home's staff and families, and be precise about what's regulated in their state. - **Florists, caterers and memorial venues.** Funeral homes refer families to local vendors. A short note on availability, delivery and pricing gets you onto their referral list. - **Business brokers and funeral groups.** Many family owners face succession questions. Reach the owner with a respectful, low-pressure note about options, and never press. - **Removal, transport and staffing services.** Homes need trade embalming, first-call removal and on-call help, especially small ones. Offer cover for nights and weekends. ## How to segment and qualify a funeral home list ### Family-owned vs group-owned Group by website domain. Group locations often share a domain and buy centrally; family-owned homes with their own domain decide locally. ### Crematories and cremation-focused providers Search cremation service, crematory and direct cremation separately. They buy retorts, urns and online arrangement tools, and many work with several funeral homes. ### Cemeteries and memorial parks Cemeteries buy grounds care, monuments, mausoleum work and records software. Keep them as their own list. ### Faith and cultural specialists Jewish, Muslim and other faith-specific funeral services follow particular customs and timelines. Search them separately if you serve those communities. ### Pet funeral services Pet cremation and pet funeral services are a separate segment. They're also referral partners for [veterinarians](https://leadraft.co/leads/veterinarians). ### New and changed locations A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new funeral service listings as they appear on Google Maps, including new crematories and pet services. ## How to reach funeral homes ### Write with care, and keep it short Funeral directors spend their days with grieving families. A short, plain, respectful email works. No jokes, no urgency, no hype. ### Email first, call carefully The listed phone is the line families call when someone dies. Don't tie it up with sales calls. Email first, and if you call, ask for a good time to speak with the owner. ### Know the Funeral Rule The FTC's Funeral Rule requires funeral providers to give consumers itemized price information, in person on a General Price List and by phone when asked. If your product touches pricing, websites or arrangements, show you understand it. This isn't legal advice. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find funeral home leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Funeral homes lead lists: questions How do I find funeral home leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the terms that cover the trade (funeral home, mortuary, cremation service, crematory, cemetery), and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each home's website, checks them, and you export CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many funeral homes are there in the US? The National Funeral Directors Association counts 15,401 funeral homes, about 75% of them family- or privately owned. The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 15,183 funeral home and funeral service establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 812210). New York (1,027), Texas (982) and Pennsylvania (966) have the most. Can I get a list of family-owned funeral homes only? Mostly, with some sorting. Leadraft records each home's name and website, so you can group by domain and drop locations that share a corporate group domain. Many group-owned homes keep their family name, so check the website before you send. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the funeral home's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the home's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a funeral home email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per funeral home, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Pennsylvania has 966 funeral homes with employees (Census 2023). A Pennsylvania list, with up to 1,000 verified emails, fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). A nationwide list of about 15,200 homes also fits Starter's business credits; for 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one county first. Do you include funeral director names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each funeral home publishes on its own website, often an office address and sometimes a named director, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 812210, Funeral Homes and Funeral Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[National Funeral Directors Association: Statistics](https://nfda.org/news/statistics) · 15,401 funeral homes; about 75% family- or privately owned; projected 2025 cremation rate 63.4%.

Furniture retail mixes national chains with a large layer of independent and family-owned stores, many of them decades old. The Census Bureau counted 21,964 furniture stores with employees in 2023 (NAICS 442110; rug, lighting and decor stores are counted under other home furnishings codes). California (2,203), Texas (1,891) and Florida (1,785) lead, then New York (1,296), North Carolina (990), Georgia (901) and Pennsylvania (844). Independents pick their own lines at trade markets and through manufacturer reps, run their own delivery, and often finance purchases for customers. Sales are big-ticket and seasonal, so owners care about traffic, financing approvals and delivery cost. ## How many furniture stores are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 21,964 establishments in **Furniture stores (NAICS 442110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for furniture stores: | Field | Why it matters for furniture stores | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates home furniture from mattress, office, patio and used furniture. A mattress manufacturer and an office-furniture installer want different stores. | | **email + grade** | Independent stores often publish a sales@ or info@ address plus the owner's. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts anything, so it's a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger stores list separate addresses for sales, delivery, customer service and design. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the owner or buyer. | | **website + website\_platform** | Many independents still have a brochure site with no catalog or online checkout. That's the lead for ecommerce, catalog feed and web vendors. The platform column shows who's on Shopify or a template builder. | | **rating + reviews** | Furniture reviews often complain about delivery and service. A low rating with many reviews is a real problem you can address; a high count marks a busy store worth a new line. | | **price\_level** | Where Google Maps shows it, price level separates budget and outlet stores from high-end showrooms, which buy from different manufacturers. | | **instagram / facebook** | Home furnishings sell visually. Stores with active social accounts are better targets for content, photography and paid social offers; those with none are a gap you can name. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every furniture store No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** furniture store, home furniture store, furniture showroom, mattress store, sofa store, living room furniture, bedroom furniture store, dining room furniture, office furniture store, used office furniture, patio furniture store, outdoor furniture store, used furniture store, antique furniture store, consignment furniture, unfinished furniture store, amish furniture store, custom furniture maker, modern furniture store, kids furniture store, recliner store, furniture outlet, rent to own furniture, furniture rental. **Google Maps categories:** Furniture store, Mattress store, Office furniture store, Outdoor furniture store, Used furniture store, Antique furniture store, Furniture maker, Furniture rental service, Home goods store. ## Who sells to furniture stores, and what works - **Furniture and mattress manufacturers and reps.** Independents add lines between trade markets too. Lead with your lead times, freight terms, minimums and how your line sells at a store like theirs. See [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product). - **Consumer financing and payment providers.** Big-ticket purchases close when financing approves. Offer approval rates across credit tiers and the merchant fee. Our [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads) guide covers card processing pitches. - **Delivery, logistics and white-glove providers.** Delivery is costly and drives bad reviews. Use the rating column to find stores where delivery complaints hurt, and offer outsourced last-mile delivery and assembly. - **Ecommerce, web and 3D or AR product vendors.** Stores without an online catalog lose shoppers who research first. Show the owner a nearby competitor's online catalog and what yours would add. - **Marketing agencies and sign companies.** Furniture runs on holiday sales events. Pitch a calendar of campaigns (Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday) with a clear cost per store visit. ## How to segment and qualify a furniture store list ### Home vs office furniture Office furniture dealers sell to businesses, often with installation and space planning. Search office furniture terms separately and keep them as their own list. ### Mattress stores Mattress stores have different suppliers, financing and sales cycles. Search mattress store terms and filter on the category column. ### Independents vs chains Group rows by website domain. A domain across many rows is a chain buying centrally; family-owned single stores and small groups pick lines locally. ### Used, antique and consignment Second-hand furniture stores buy inventory from the public and estates, not manufacturers. They suit moving, estate sale and junk removal partners more than furniture brands. ### High-end showrooms Use price level, reviews and search terms like modern furniture store or custom furniture maker to find premium stores. They're the targets for design-led brands and interior designer programs. ### New stores A new showroom needs lines, signage, financing and delivery all at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new furniture listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach furniture stores ### Avoid big sale weekends Holiday weekends are the busiest days of the year in furniture. Reach owners in the quiet weeks between events, on weekday mornings, when the floor is slow. ### Plan around trade markets Many independent buyers order at the spring and fall furniture markets. Reach out a few weeks before so you're on their list of showrooms to visit, or after, for buyers who missed you. ### Lead with sell-through and freight Owners care about how fast a piece sells and what it costs to get it on the floor. Put lead time, freight and margin in the first email. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the terms that cover the trade (furniture store, mattress store, office furniture store, patio furniture store), and Leadraft finds every matching store on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each store's website, checks them, and you export CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many furniture stores are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 21,964 furniture stores with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 442110). Owner-only shops with no employees aren't counted, and home goods stores that also sell furniture fall under other codes, so Google Maps shows more stores selling furniture than that count. California (2,203), Texas (1,891) and Florida (1,785) have the most. Can I get a list of independent furniture stores only? Yes, with some sorting. Leadraft records each store's name and website, so you can group by domain and drop the chains. Single-domain stores and small groups are mostly independents and family-owned stores. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the store's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the store's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a furniture store email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per store, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 1,891 furniture stores with employees (Census 2023). A Texas list of that size, with up to 1,000 verified emails, fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails).

Garage door work is a small, local trade with two halves. Residential companies fix broken springs and openers and replace doors for homeowners, and much of their work arrives as an urgent call from someone whose car is stuck inside. Commercial door contractors install and service overhead, rolling steel and dock doors for warehouses, retailers and fleets, often on service contracts. The Census Bureau doesn't publish a separate count for garage door companies: they sit inside wider contractor codes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 27,800 mechanical door repairer jobs in May 2023, most of them at building finishing and building equipment contractors, with another 5,780 at building material dealers. Many companies are owner-operated with a few trucks, and a number of national dealer networks and franchise brands sit beside them. The listing often matters more than the website, because people search "garage door repair near me" from their phone. ## What's in a garage door company lead list Every row is one garage door company business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for garage door companies: | Field | Why it matters for garage door companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Most garage door businesses file under Garage door supplier even when they mainly repair. Secondary categories show who also does gates, entry doors or commercial work. | | **email + grade** | Small garage door companies often publish one office address, and some use a Gmail or Yahoo address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **free\_provider** | Flags emails on Gmail, Yahoo and similar. A one-truck operator with a free address is a different prospect from a dealer with a branded domain, and often a better target for web and marketing offers. | | **website + contact\_form** | Repair companies win jobs on the phone and through quote forms. A site with no booking or quote form, or no site at all, is the lead for web and scheduling vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Homeowners pick a repair company from the map, so review count drives call volume. Companies with few reviews next to competitors with hundreds are the natural targets for review and local SEO offers. | | **hours** | Companies listing 24 hours or weekend hours take emergency calls. That marks the busier repair shops, and tells you when not to call. | | **address + service\_area + in\_area** | Most repair companies are service-area businesses run from a shop or home. Use the area and distance columns to keep only companies that serve your territory. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks.

Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to garage door companies, and what works - **Door, spring and opener distributors.** Springs, cables, rollers, openers and replacement panels. Lead with same-day or next-day stock on the parts they burn through, and a contractor account with clear pricing. - **Home-service marketing and local SEO agencies.** "Garage door repair near me" is an expensive, call-driven search. Show the owner where they rank on the map in their main ZIP codes and how many reviews the top three companies have. - **Field service and scheduling software.** Dispatch, quotes on the phone, payment in the driveway and service agreements. Pitch the owner on more jobs per truck per day and fewer missed calls. - **Call answering and booking services.** A missed call is a missed spring job. Offer a concrete number: calls answered after hours, or booked jobs per month from calls that used to go to voicemail. - **Property managers and facility buyers.** Managers of warehouses, self-storage sites and apartment complexes can list every commercial door contractor in the area and invite bids for a service contract. ## How to segment and qualify a garage door company list ### Residential repair vs commercial doors Run residential terms (spring repair, opener repair) and commercial terms (rolling steel door, loading dock door, overhead door company) as separate searches. Keep each search as its own list and check categories and websites. They buy different parts and software. ### Dealer networks and franchises Group rows by website domain. One domain across several locations is a franchise or dealer network: pitch the head office for software and the local owner for local marketing. ### One-truck operators Rows with a free email provider, no website or a handful of reviews are usually owner-operators. They respond to simple, low-cost offers and to help getting more calls. ### Gate and access specialists Add gate repair and automatic gate terms to find companies that also do access control. They are good targets for gate operator and access-control distributors. ### Newly opened companies New garage door businesses need parts accounts, insurance, a website and a listing that ranks. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach garage door companies ### Owners are on the road all day Most small owners run calls themselves. Send so your email lands early morning or evening, and keep it short enough to read on a phone. ### Don't tie up the job line The listed phone is how customers book. If you call, say who you are in one sentence and ask for a better time, or skip the call and follow up by email. ### Lead with calls and jobs Garage door owners count calls and booked jobs. Offers framed as more calls from the map, fewer missed calls or more jobs per truck land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Garage door companies lead lists: questions How do I find garage door company leads? Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as garage door repair, garage door installation, overhead door company and commercial garage door repair. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only companies inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each company's website and checks every one before you export. How many garage door companies are there in the US? There is no official count of garage door companies: the Census Bureau files them inside wider contractor codes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 27,800 mechanical door repairer jobs in May 2023, the occupation that installs and repairs garage and overhead doors. The practical way to count the companies in your market is to search it on Google Maps with several terms and dedupe the results, which Leadraft does for you. Can I get a list of only commercial overhead door contractors? Yes. Search commercial terms (commercial overhead door, rolling steel door repair, loading dock door repair) and check the category column and each company's website before you export. Residential-only repair companies also turn up in these searches, so expect to drop some rows by hand. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a garage door company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. As an example, if a large metro returns 800 garage door companies, the whole list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). A statewide list of a few thousand companies still fits Starter on businesses; if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each company publishes on its own website, often an office or service address and sometimes a named owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2023: Mechanical Door Repairers (49-9011)](https://www.bls.gov/oes/2023/may/oes499011.htm) · 27,800 jobs; 10,610 at building finishing contractors, 7,760 at building equipment contractors, 5,780 at building material and supplies dealers. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the garage door companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

"General contractor" covers three different businesses. Residential remodelers are the largest group: about 135,300 establishments with employees in 2023, 93% of them with fewer than 10 staff. New single-family home builders add about 60,600 (NAICS 236115), and all residential building construction totals about 212,200 (NAICS 2361). Commercial and institutional contractors are fewer (about 39,100) but larger, employing about 641,000 people. Remodelers concentrate in California (about 16,800), New York (13,400), Florida (10,300), Texas (6,200) and Illinois (6,200). Small remodelers are run by an owner who sells, estimates and manages jobs; commercial GCs have estimators, project managers and a procurement process, and buy through bids and subcontractor lists. ## How many general contractors are there in each state? California, New York and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 212,178 establishments in **Residential building construction (NAICS 2361)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 25,173 | 11.9% | | 2 | New York | 17,061 | 8.0% | | 3 | Florida | 15,924 | 7.5% | | 4 | Texas | 12,354 | 5.8% | | 5 | Washington | 9,029 | 4.3% | | 6 | North Carolina | 8,063 | 3.8% | | 7 | Illinois | 8,062 | 3.8% | | 8 | Pennsylvania | 7,678 | 3.6% | | 9 | New Jersey | 6,505 | 3.1% | | 10 | Massachusetts | 6,208 | 2.9% | | 11 | Michigan | 5,806 | 2.7% | | 12 | Virginia | 5,778 | 2.7% | | 13 | Georgia | 5,576 | 2.6% | | 14 | Oregon | 5,405 | 2.5% | | 15 | Colorado | 4,821 | 2.3% | | 16 | Ohio | 4,674 | 2.2% | | 17 | Minnesota | 4,500 | 2.1% | | 18 | Maryland | 3,894 | 1.8% | | 19 | Indiana | 3,682 | 1.7% | | 20 | Arizona | 3,508 | 1.7% | | 21 | Wisconsin | 3,372 | 1.6% | | 22 | Missouri | 3,368 | 1.6% | | 23 | Utah | 3,141 | 1.5% | | 24 | Tennessee | 2,971 | 1.4% | | 25 | South Carolina | 2,737 | 1.3% | | 26 | Idaho | 2,466 | 1.2% | | 27 | Montana | 2,083 | 1.0% | | 28 | Iowa | 2,002 | 0.9% | | 29 | Alabama | 1,802 | 0.8% | | 30 | Connecticut | 1,760 | 0.8% | | 31 | Kentucky | 1,744 | 0.8% | | 32 | Maine | 1,701 | 0.8% | | 33 | Louisiana | 1,665 | 0.8% | | 34 | Kansas | 1,649 | 0.8% | | 35 | Nebraska | 1,520 | 0.7% | | 36 | Arkansas | 1,319 | 0.6% | | 37 | Oklahoma | 1,297 | 0.6% | | 38 | Nevada | 1,236 | 0.6% | | 39 | New Hampshire | 1,188 | 0.6% | | 40 | New Mexico | 1,083 | 0.5% | | 41 | Rhode Island | 1,031 | 0.5% | | 42 | South Dakota | 1,013 | 0.5% | | 43 | West Virginia | 1,001 | 0.5% | | 44 | Vermont | 873 | 0.4% | | 45 | Wyoming | 814 | 0.4% | | 46 | Hawaii | 793 | 0.4% | | 47 | Mississippi | 738 | 0.3% | | 48 | Delaware | 683 | 0.3% | | 49 | Alaska | 660 | 0.3% | | 50 | North Dakota | 589 | 0.3% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 178 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a general contractor lead list Every row is one general contractor business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for general contractors: | Field | Why it matters for general contractors | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits remodelers, home builders and commercial construction companies, which buy very different things. It also shows specialty trades that file as General contractor, so you can drop or keep them. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Commercial GCs often publish separate addresses for bids, estimating, subcontractors, careers and accounts payable. The role tells you which one to use: bids@ for subs and suppliers, the office address for software and services. | | **email + grade** | **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. Construction firms on their own mail servers often accept all addresses. | | **website + website\_platform** | A remodeler without a portfolio site is the lead for web design and SEO. A commercial GC's site usually lists project types and sectors, which you can use to qualify by hand. | | **rating + reviews** | Remodelers depend on reviews; few reviews or a low rating is a reputation pitch. Commercial GCs get few Google reviews, so don't filter them out on review count. | | **linkedin** | Commercial contractors are more active on LinkedIn than on Instagram. The company page helps you find the estimator or project manager to address. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Suppliers deliver to job sites and subs work within a drive. Distance from your yard or showroom keeps the list to contractors you can actually serve. | | **phone** | Small remodelers answer their own mobile. Call by hand and follow the TCPA for calls and texts; commercial GCs have an office line with a receptionist. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every general contractor No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** general contractor, construction company, remodeling contractor, home remodeler, kitchen remodeler, bathroom remodeler, basement finishing contractor, home addition contractor, home builder, custom home builder, design build contractor, residential contractor, commercial contractor, commercial general contractor, tenant improvement contractor, construction management company, renovation contractor, handyman service, accessory dwelling unit builder, garage builder, home renovation, framing contractor, concrete contractor, masonry contractor, foundation repair. **Google Maps categories:** General contractor, Construction company, Home builder, Custom home builder, Remodeler, Kitchen remodeler, Bathroom remodeler, Handyman/Handywoman/Handyperson, Concrete contractor, Masonry contractor. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to general contractors, and what works - **Building material suppliers and lumber yards.** Contractor accounts, job-site delivery, quote turnaround. Use the distance column to target contractors inside your delivery radius. - **Subcontractors looking for work.** Electricians, plumbers, drywall, flooring and concrete subs want onto bid lists. Email the bids or estimating address with your trade, service area, insurance and a recent project. - **Construction software.** Estimating, project management, scheduling and client portals. Remodelers want fewer change-order disputes and faster estimates; commercial GCs want document control and sub management. - **Marketing agencies for remodelers.** Kitchen and bath remodelers spend on leads. Show what they rank for in their ZIP and what a competitor's portfolio site looks like. - **Insurance, bonding, financing and equipment rental.** Builders risk, surety bonds, equipment financing, homeowner financing programs for remodelers. A fast quote or approval time is the angle. - **Developers and property owners.** Owners and developers can list every GC in a market and invite bids, instead of relying on the same few names. ## How to segment and qualify a general contractor list ### Remodelers vs home builders vs commercial Run separate searches (remodeling terms, home builder terms, commercial contractor terms) and tag each row by category. These groups share a name but not a buyer. ### Kitchen and bath specialists Kitchen and bathroom remodelers buy cabinets, countertops, fixtures and showroom marketing. They are a tight, high-value segment for suppliers. ### Handymen vs licensed GCs Handyman services file in their own category and take small jobs. Keep them for tool and software offers, drop them for commercial supply and bid-list outreach. ### Online presence Remodelers with no website, under 20 reviews or a rating under 4.0 are the targets for marketing offers. Name the gap in the first line. ### Growth markets Draw polygons around fast-growing suburbs and exurbs where new homes are going up. Builders there are buying land, materials and trades now. ### Newly opened companies A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new contractors as they appear on Google Maps, often a project manager who just went out on their own and needs suppliers, insurance and software. ## How to reach general contractors ### Mornings are for job sites Owners and supers are on site from 6 or 7 a.m. Email so you land late afternoon or early evening; call between 3 and 5 p.m. Commercial estimators are at their desks mid-morning, especially near bid deadlines. ### Use the right inbox For commercial GCs, the bids or estimating address reaches the person who adds subs and suppliers to a project. Sending a software pitch there wastes it; use the office or general address instead. ### Lead with a project, not a pitch Contractors respond to specifics: a recent job in their area, a lead time on materials, a bonded sub available next month. Keep it to a few lines with one clear ask. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many small contractors list a cell phone, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns for 2023 counted 212,178 residential building construction establishments with paid employees (NAICS 2361), including 135,337 remodelers and 60,635 new single-family home builders, plus 39,072 commercial and institutional building contractors (NAICS 236220). Owner-only contractors with no payroll aren't included, so Google Maps counts are higher. Can I get a general contractor email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only contractors inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose). Can I get only commercial general contractors? Yes. Search commercial terms (commercial general contractor, tenant improvement contractor, construction management company) and filter by category. Commercial GCs usually publish a bids or estimating email, which Leadraft records with its role. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the contractor's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the contractor's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a general contractor email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has about 6,200 residential remodelers and 3,600 commercial building contractors with employees (Census 2023). A list of 10,000 contractors fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); for 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Does the list include license numbers? No. Leadraft lists what's on Google Maps and the contractor's website: business, categories, emails, phone, website, address, rating, reviews, hours and social profiles. Check licenses with your state's contractor board. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 2361 Residential Building Construction; 236118 Residential Remodelers; 236115 New Single-Family Housing; 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Construction Managers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/management/construction-managers.htm) · 609,100 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the general contractors in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Grocery is two very different markets on one map. Chains run thousands of stores but buy from head office, so their local listings are useful mostly for mapping, not for selling. Independents are the opposite: owner-operated supermarkets, family markets and ethnic grocers that decide locally what goes on the shelf, which POS they run and who prints their weekly ad. The National Grocers Association puts independent grocers at more than 38% of US food retail sales in 2024. The Census Bureau counted 62,947 supermarkets and grocery stores with employees in 2023 (NAICS 445110, which excludes convenience stores). New York (8,320) and California (8,044) lead by a wide margin, then Florida (3,850), Texas (3,739), Illinois (2,647), Pennsylvania (2,543) and New Jersey (2,405). Many independents also belong to a cooperative or buy through a wholesaler, which shapes how new products reach them. ## How many grocery stores are there in each state? New York, California and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 62,947 establishments in **Supermarkets and other grocery (except convenience) stores (NAICS 445110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | New York | 8,320 | 13.2% | | 2 | California | 8,044 | 12.8% | | 3 | Florida | 3,850 | 6.1% | | 4 | Texas | 3,739 | 5.9% | | 5 | Illinois | 2,647 | 4.2% | | 6 | Pennsylvania | 2,543 | 4.0% | | 7 | New Jersey | 2,405 | 3.8% | | 8 | North Carolina | 2,007 | 3.2% | | 9 | Ohio | 1,893 | 3.0% | | 10 | Georgia | 1,769 | 2.8% | | 11 | Michigan | 1,685 | 2.7% | | 12 | Washington | 1,587 | 2.5% | | 13 | Virginia | 1,483 | 2.4% | | 14 | Massachusetts | 1,348 | 2.1% | | 15 | Maryland | 1,256 | 2.0% | | 16 | Tennessee | 1,077 | 1.7% | | 17 | Minnesota | 998 | 1.6% | | 18 | Wisconsin | 976 | 1.6% | | 19 | Missouri | 955 | 1.5% | | 20 | Indiana | 954 | 1.5% | | 21 | South Carolina | 911 | 1.4% | | 22 | Louisiana | 886 | 1.4% | | 23 | Arizona | 802 | 1.3% | | 24 | Alabama | 782 | 1.2% | | 25 | Colorado | 780 | 1.2% | | 26 | Connecticut | 767 | 1.2% | | 27 | Oregon | 753 | 1.2% | | 28 | Kentucky | 721 | 1.1% | | 29 | Iowa | 615 | 1.0% | | 30 | Oklahoma | 499 | 0.8% | | 31 | Kansas | 485 | 0.8% | | 32 | Arkansas | 459 | 0.7% | | 33 | Nebraska | 422 | 0.7% | | 34 | Utah | 411 | 0.7% | | 35 | Mississippi | 405 | 0.6% | | 36 | Nevada | 362 | 0.6% | | 37 | Maine | 357 | 0.6% | | 38 | Idaho | 278 | 0.4% | | 39 | Hawaii | 272 | 0.4% | | 40 | Montana | 260 | 0.4% | | 41 | West Virginia | 260 | 0.4% | | 42 | New Mexico | 246 | 0.4% | | 43 | New Hampshire | 240 | 0.4% | | 44 | Vermont | 221 | 0.4% | | 45 | Alaska | 210 | 0.3% | | 46 | Rhode Island | 204 | 0.3% | | 47 | South Dakota | 199 | 0.3% | | 48 | Delaware | 174 | 0.3% | | 49 | District of Columbia | 169 | 0.3% | | 50 | North Dakota | 168 | 0.3% | | 51 | Wyoming | 93 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a grocery store lead list Every row is one grocery store business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for grocery stores: | Field | Why it matters for grocery stores | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits mainstream supermarkets from ethnic grocers, natural food stores and butchers. A specialty sauce brand, a halal meat supplier and a POS vendor each want a different slice. | | **email + grade** | Independents usually publish an info@ or office address read by the owner or a store manager. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so it's a maybe and worth sending to more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger independents list separate addresses for the office, catering, careers and vendor or buyer inquiries. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the buyer, not the jobs inbox. | | **website + website\_platform** | Many small grocers have no website or a one-page site with no online ordering. That is the lead for web, delivery and digital-circular vendors. Chain locations share one corporate domain, which also makes them easy to filter out. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a rough proxy for foot traffic. A busy store with a 3.x rating has a service or cleanliness problem you can speak to; a high-volume store is a better bet for a new product placement. | | **hours** | Long or 24-hour schedules point to stores that need more staff, security and refrigeration service. Hours also tell you when the owner is likely in the back office. | | **phone** | A call during the quiet mid-morning window often reaches the owner or manager directly. Call the store line by hand and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Distributors and route-based vendors sell by territory. Draw your delivery area and keep only stores inside it, so the list matches the trucks you actually run. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every grocery store No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** grocery store, supermarket, independent grocery store, family owned grocery store, food market, neighborhood market, asian grocery store, korean grocery store, chinese supermarket, indian grocery store, mexican grocery store, latin market, halal market, middle eastern grocery store, european deli and grocery, caribbean market, african grocery store, health food store, organic grocery store, natural foods co-op, butcher shop, meat market, produce market, international market, kosher grocery store, discount grocery store. **Google Maps categories:** Grocery store, Supermarket, Asian grocery store, Indian grocery store, Mexican grocery store, Korean grocery store, Health food store, Organic food store, Butcher shop, Produce market. ## Who sells to grocery stores, and what works - **Food and beverage brands seeking shelf space.** Independents can say yes without a corporate category review. Lead with velocity at a nearby store, margin per case and how you'll support the product (demos, shelf talkers). Our guide on [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product) covers the pitch. - **Specialty food distributors and wholesalers.** Ethnic and natural grocers often buy from several small distributors. Segment by category (Asian, Latin, halal) and offer a reliable delivery day and lower minimums. - **POS, scale and payment providers.** Grocery POS has to handle scales, EBT/SNAP, loyalty and weekly price changes. Show the owner the per-transaction cost and how fast price updates reach the shelf. See [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads) for how payment sellers work a list. - **Refrigeration, equipment and facility services.** Walk-in coolers, cases and HVAC run nonstop, and a failure means spoiled stock. A 24-hour service promise and a maintenance plan are the hook. - **Delivery, ecommerce and digital-circular vendors.** Independents that lack online ordering lose orders to chains. Use the website column to find stores with no site or no ordering, and show them what a nearby competitor offers. - **Security, signage and ATM placement.** Busy stores with long hours need cameras, loss prevention and signage, and many host an ATM. Lead with shrink numbers or extra foot traffic, not features. ## How to segment and qualify a grocery store list ### Independents vs chains Group rows by website domain and business name. One domain across dozens of rows is a chain that buys centrally; contact head office or skip it. Single-domain or no-website stores are the independents most vendors want. ### Ethnic and international grocers Run separate searches for each cuisine (Asian, Korean, Indian, Mexican, Latin, halal, Caribbean, African). These stores buy specialty products from specialty distributors and respond to outreach that shows you know their customers. ### Natural and organic Health food stores, co-ops and organic grocers carry new brands earlier than mainstream supermarkets. They are the natural first target for emerging food, supplement and personal care brands. ### Butchers and produce markets Meat markets and produce stands have different suppliers, equipment and margins. Search them separately and keep them as their own segment. ### Store size proxies Review count and hours are rough proxies for volume. A store with hundreds of reviews and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. hours is a bigger account than a corner market with 20 reviews. ### New stores New grocers need suppliers, POS, equipment and signage all at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your territory flags new grocery listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach grocery stores ### Reach the owner, not the cashier In an independent store the owner or general manager buys almost everything. Emails to the listed address often reach them directly. Mid-morning on Tuesday to Thursday, after the morning delivery and before the lunch rush, is the best window for a call. ### Respect the vendor process Larger independents have set days for vendor visits and a buyer for each department. Ask who buys your category and when they see vendors, then follow that process. ### Show the numbers that run the store Grocery margins are thin. Lead with sell-through at a comparable store, margin per case, or dollars saved on processing or shrink. Generic brand stories rarely get a reply. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call the store line by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Grocery stores lead lists: questions How do I find grocery store leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the grocery terms that match your buyers (supermarket, Asian grocery store, halal market, health food store and so on), and Leadraft finds every matching store on Google Maps inside that area. It then finds up to 5 emails on each store's website, checks each one, and you export CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many grocery stores are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 62,947 supermarkets and other grocery stores with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 445110). That count excludes convenience stores and stores with no employees. New York (8,320) and California (8,044) have the most. Can I get a list of only independent grocery stores? Yes, with a little sorting. Leadraft records each store's name and website, so you can group by domain and drop the chains (one corporate domain across many rows). What's left is mostly independents. Searching ethnic, natural and family-owned terms also skews the list toward independents. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the store's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the store's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a grocery store email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per store, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 8,044 grocery establishments with employees (Census 2023). A statewide list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include the store owner's or buyer's name? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each store publishes on its own website, often an office or info address and sometimes a named owner or buyer, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 445110, Supermarkets and Other Grocery (except Convenience) Stores)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[Grocery Dive: Independent grocers are responsible for over $353B in sales, NGA analysis finds](https://www.grocerydive.com/news/nga-national-grocers-association-economic-impact-analysis-independent-grocers/819923/) · National Grocers Association figures: $353.5 billion, more than 38% of $920 billion in US food retail sales, 2024.

The Census Bureau counts about 41,500 fitness and recreational sports centers with paid employees, and that code also takes in some sports clubs and recreation centers. On Google Maps the market splits into three groups: big-box and franchise clubs (Planet Fitness, Anytime Fitness, Orangetheory, F45 and similar), independent gyms run by an owner, and boutique studios (yoga, pilates, barre, cycling, boxing, martial arts). Franchise locations are owned locally but their brand, website and much of their software are set by the franchisor. Independents and studios decide for themselves, usually the owner alone, and they buy on member growth and retention. Margins are thin, so anything that adds members or cuts churn gets a hearing; anything that looks like overhead doesn't. ## How many gyms are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 41,556 establishments in **Fitness and recreational sports centers (NAICS 713940)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for gyms: | Field | Why it matters for gyms | | --- | --- | | **business and category** | The name tells you whether a row is a franchise location ("Anytime Fitness", "Orangetheory Fitness") or an independent. The category separates big gyms from yoga, pilates and martial arts studios, which buy different things. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Independent gyms often publish the owner's address or a general inbox on their site; franchise locations often only show a brand-wide contact. Up to 5 emails per gym, each with role and source, show you which kind you have. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **hours** | 24-hour gyms run on keyless entry and staffless hours; studios run on class schedules. Hours sort the list for access-control, security and staffing pitches. | | **rating and reviews** | Review count is a fair proxy for membership size and marketing effort. A studio with 40 reviews and a club with 1,200 need different offers. Low ratings that mention cleanliness or crowding point to specific services. | | **instagram, facebook, tiktok, youtube** | Gyms and studios market on Instagram and TikTok more than on their websites. An active account means an owner who cares about content; a dormant one is a social media agency's opening. | | **website and website\_platform** | Many studios run on a site builder with a booking widget; some have no site at all. Gyms with weak sites are the web design and SEO list. | | **address, in\_area and distance** | Equipment service, cleaning and local marketing are sold by territory. The area fence keeps the list to the gyms you can actually reach. | | **first\_seen** | A gym that appears for the first time is usually opening or about to. New gyms buy equipment, flooring, software and marketing all at once. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every gym No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** gym, fitness center, health club, 24 hour gym, crossfit gym, personal trainer, personal training studio, yoga studio, hot yoga studio, pilates studio, barre studio, spin studio, cycling studio, boxing gym, kickboxing gym, mma gym, brazilian jiu jitsu school, martial arts school, bootcamp fitness, strength training gym, powerlifting gym, women's gym, rock climbing gym, dance fitness studio, functional fitness gym. **Google Maps categories:** Gym, Fitness center, Health club, Personal trainer, Yoga studio, Pilates studio, Boxing gym, Martial arts school, Kickboxing school, Rock climbing gym, Physical fitness program, Dance school. Leadraft includes these in its [Fitness keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#fitness) (60 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to gyms, and what works - **Gym management and booking software.** Split franchise locations out first: most use the software their brand chose. Independents and studios switching from spreadsheets or an older system care about failed payments, class booking and member churn. - **Fitness marketing and social media agencies.** Lead with member acquisition in January and the summer slump. Show one concrete gap: no Google reviews strategy, a dormant Instagram, or a site with no trial offer. - **Equipment sellers, refurbishers and service technicians.** Independent gyms and CrossFit boxes buy used and refurbished equipment and need treadmill and cable-machine repairs. A local service contract pitch works best with a named service area. - **Commercial cleaning and janitorial companies.** Gyms are cleaned daily and reviews call out dirty locker rooms. Use reviews that mention cleanliness as the opener, and quote by square footage. - **Supplement, apparel and retail brands.** Studios and independent gyms with a front desk sell drinks, supplements and branded apparel. Wholesale terms and small minimums matter more than brand stories. - **Insurance agents and payment processors.** Liability coverage for trainers and recurring billing fees are real costs. A specific saving on processing for a gym of their size is the hook. ## How to segment and qualify a gym list ### Franchise vs independent Filter by business name to pull franchise locations into their own list. Franchisees control local spending on things like cleaning, repairs and local marketing, but not the brand website or core software. Independents decide everything. ### By format Run separate search lines for "gym", "crossfit gym", "yoga studio", "pilates studio" and "martial arts school", and keep the category column. A pilates studio owner and a 24-hour gym owner read the same email very differently. ### By review count Under 50 reviews usually means a small studio or a new gym; several hundred means an established club. Use it as a size filter, since there's no member count in the data. ### Gyms with weak web presence Filter for no website, or for a website plus no Instagram link. Those are the easiest web design and social media prospects in the trade. ### 24-hour locations Use the hours column to find gyms open around the clock. They need access control, cameras and remote monitoring, and they often run with no staff at night. ### Newly opened gyms Set a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area to get only the gyms and studios that appear on Google Maps after your first search. New openings are the best timing in this trade. ## How to reach gyms ### Time it around January and the summer slump Gyms sign up the most members in January, so owners are busiest then and least open to new tools. Pitch member-acquisition services in October and November, before the rush, and retention or win-back services from March, when January joiners start to cancel. Summer is often slow, which makes it a good time for equipment and renovation. ### Franchisees can't buy what the franchisor controls A franchise location usually can't change its website, booking software or national ad creative. Don't pitch those. Pitch local things the owner does control: cleaning, repairs, local events, staffing, and sometimes local social media. For brand-wide products, the franchisor's head office is the buyer, not the location. ### Write to the owner, briefly Most independent gym owners also coach classes and answer the front desk. Short emails that name their gym, their neighborhood and one specific observation get read on a phone between sessions. Mid-morning and early afternoon, between the early and evening class peaks, is when owners have time. ### Keep it B2B and follow CAN-SPAM Your emails are commercial messages to a business: use a truthful subject line, include a real postal address and honor opt-outs. Don't email trainers' personal addresses you find elsewhere. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your own program. ## How to find gym leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Gyms lead lists: questions How many gyms are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 41,500 fitness and recreational sports centers with paid employees (NAICS 713940), employing about 708,000 people. That code also includes some sports clubs and recreation centers, and it leaves out studios with no employees. BLS counts 388,400 fitness trainer and instructor jobs in 2025. Google Maps lists gyms, studios and many owner-run studios, so a Maps list for an area often includes businesses the Census count doesn't. Can I get a gym email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include gyms just outside it. You can also narrow the search to one format, such as yoga studios in Austin or CrossFit gyms in Maricopa County. Are the emails verified? Each email comes from the gym's own website and is checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. Read more on [how verification works](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification). How much does a gym email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per gym, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a search across Florida finds 3,500 gyms and studios and you export 900 verified emails, that's 3,500 business credits and 900 checked-email credits, which fits in Starter at $19. Run the same area again later and the gyms you already have aren't charged twice. Can I separate franchise gyms from independent gyms? Yes, by business name. Franchise locations keep the brand in their Google Maps name, so you can filter them into a separate list in the leads table and save it as a view. Does the list include yoga, pilates and martial arts studios? If you search for them. Add each format as its own search line ("yoga studio", "pilates studio", "brazilian jiu jitsu school") or use the fitness [keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs), and the category column tells you which is which. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 713940)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Establishments with paid employees; excludes nonemployer businesses. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Fitness Trainers and Instructors](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/personal-care-and-service/fitness-trainers-and-instructors.htm) 3. 3.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## See the gyms in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Hair is a very fragmented trade. The Census Bureau counts about 84,000 beauty salons with paid staff, and more than 838,000 beauty salon businesses with no employees at all, most of them stylists renting a chair or a suite. Barbershops add about 7,800 employer shops and 141,000 nonemployer barbers. That shapes who buys: a commission salon with ten stylists has an owner who buys software, product and marketing for everyone; a booth-rental salon is a landlord, and each renter buys their own booking app and product. Salon suites put dozens of independent businesses under one roof, each with its own listing. Owners usually still work behind the chair, so they read email between clients, live on Instagram and decide quickly. ## How many hair salons are there in each state? California, Florida and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 84,176 establishments in **Beauty salons (NAICS 812112)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 8,733 | 10.4% | | 2 | Florida | 7,534 | 9.0% | | 3 | New York | 7,124 | 8.5% | | 4 | Texas | 5,740 | 6.8% | | 5 | Pennsylvania | 4,846 | 5.8% | | 6 | New Jersey | 3,727 | 4.4% | | 7 | Illinois | 3,346 | 4.0% | | 8 | Ohio | 2,718 | 3.2% | | 9 | Virginia | 2,602 | 3.1% | | 10 | Massachusetts | 2,569 | 3.1% | | 11 | Georgia | 2,563 | 3.0% | | 12 | North Carolina | 2,226 | 2.6% | | 13 | Michigan | 2,170 | 2.6% | | 14 | Washington | 2,168 | 2.6% | | 15 | Colorado | 2,029 | 2.4% | | 16 | Arizona | 1,711 | 2.0% | | 17 | Wisconsin | 1,592 | 1.9% | | 18 | Minnesota | 1,521 | 1.8% | | 19 | Maryland | 1,481 | 1.8% | | 20 | Indiana | 1,438 | 1.7% | | 21 | Missouri | 1,236 | 1.5% | | 22 | Tennessee | 1,062 | 1.3% | | 23 | South Carolina | 1,052 | 1.2% | | 24 | Connecticut | 1,049 | 1.2% | | 25 | Utah | 959 | 1.1% | | 26 | Oregon | 800 | 1.0% | | 27 | Iowa | 796 | 0.9% | | 28 | Alabama | 740 | 0.9% | | 29 | Louisiana | 699 | 0.8% | | 30 | Kentucky | 680 | 0.8% | | 31 | Oklahoma | 675 | 0.8% | | 32 | Nevada | 656 | 0.8% | | 33 | Kansas | 654 | 0.8% | | 34 | Nebraska | 596 | 0.7% | | 35 | Arkansas | 453 | 0.5% | | 36 | Idaho | 403 | 0.5% | | 37 | New Hampshire | 403 | 0.5% | | 38 | Rhode Island | 387 | 0.5% | | 39 | New Mexico | 362 | 0.4% | | 40 | Hawaii | 335 | 0.4% | | 41 | Mississippi | 302 | 0.4% | | 42 | Maine | 293 | 0.3% | | 43 | Delaware | 277 | 0.3% | | 44 | West Virginia | 277 | 0.3% | | 45 | North Dakota | 240 | 0.3% | | 46 | Montana | 224 | 0.3% | | 47 | South Dakota | 160 | 0.2% | | 48 | District of Columbia | 154 | 0.2% | | 49 | Vermont | 144 | 0.2% | | 50 | Alaska | 143 | 0.2% | | 51 | Wyoming | 127 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a hair salon lead list Every row is one hair salon business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for hair salons: | Field | Why it matters for hair salons | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | "Hair salon", "Beauty salon" and "Barber shop" overlap, and many salons list nails, lashes or spa services as secondary categories. Use the categories to keep full-service salons, barbers and beauty supply stores apart. | | **instagram, facebook, tiktok** | Instagram is the salon portfolio and often the main booking channel. A profile link tells you the salon is active; a salon with no Instagram is the social media agency's first call. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Small salons often publish one address, frequently a free provider like Gmail. Larger salons have a front-desk or booking inbox. Up to 5 emails with role and source help you find the owner where it's published. Only Verified and Accept-all are exported. | | **phone** | In this trade the phone still books appointments. Owners behind the chair may not reply to email for days but will return a short voicemail or text-friendly call. | | **website, website\_platform and contact\_form** | Many salons have no website and send clients straight to a booking link or Instagram. No website, or a site on a basic builder, is the web design pitch. | | **rating, reviews and price\_level** | Review count tracks client volume and how long the salon has been open. Where Google shows a price level, it separates premium color salons from budget chains. | | **address and hours** | Salon suite buildings show up as many listings at one address. Address grouping finds them; hours show which salons open early or late, which matters for when to call. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every hair salon No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** hair salon, beauty salon, barber shop, barbershop, hairdresser, hair stylist, salon suites, blowout bar, blow dry bar, hair color salon, balayage, hair extensions, keratin treatment, curly hair salon, natural hair salon, braiding salon, loc specialist, men's haircut, kids haircuts, bridal hair, unisex salon, aveda salon, hair replacement. **Google Maps categories:** Hair salon, Beauty salon, Barber shop, Hairdresser, Hair extension technician, Beauty supply store. Leadraft includes these in its [Beauty & wellness keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#beauty-wellness) (50 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to hair salons, and what works - **Professional product brands and distributors.** Commission salons buy product for the whole team and stock retail; booth-rental salons don't. Use the salon's site and category to target the first group with an education or launch offer. - **Salon booking, POS and payments software.** Booth renters and suite owners each pick their own app; commission salons pick one for everyone. Price and simplicity win for renters, team reporting wins for owners. - **Social media, content and web agencies.** Lead with what you can see: a salon with great work and an inactive Instagram, or no site and a broken booking link. Show one example, not a package list. - **Salon suite operators and commercial landlords.** Independent stylists with growing review counts are candidates to move into a suite. Short, local, specific messages work. - **Education academies, insurance and furniture suppliers.** Training, liability insurance and salon equipment sell to new and growing salons. Newly opened listings are the warmest segment. ## How to segment and qualify a hair salon list ### Commission salons vs booth rental and suites There's no field for this, but salons that list a team page, a careers page or many stylists are usually commission; suite buildings show many listings at one address. Read a sample of sites before you split the list. ### Salons vs barbershops Run "barber shop" as its own search line and keep the category. Barbers buy different tools, product and software, and they reply to a different tone. ### Specialty salons Curly hair, natural hair, braiding, extensions and color specialists have specific product and education needs. One search line per specialty gives you clean, separate lists. ### No website or Instagram only Filter for rows without a website but with an Instagram link. That's the cleanest list for web design and booking-site offers. ### Chains and franchises out Group by business name to find national budget chains and franchises. They buy centrally, so drop them from local campaigns or route them to a separate sequence. ### New salons Stylists open their own place all the time. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends only newly listed salons, who need product, software, furniture and insurance at once. ## How to reach hair salons ### Owners work behind the chair Most salon owners are booked with clients most of the day. Email gets read early morning, on breaks or late at night. Monday is the common day off in many markets, which makes it a good time for both email and calls. Check the hours column. ### Visit, call or DM as well as email Salons are walk-in businesses. Many local sellers get further with a short email followed by a visit at a quiet hour, or a call that asks for a good time. Keep any Instagram outreach personal and low-volume, and follow the platform's rules. ### Know booth rental before you pitch In a booth-rental salon the owner doesn't control what each stylist buys. Ask the owner whether the salon is commission or rental before you pitch team software or product programs. ### Keep it plain and compliant Salon owners get a lot of marketing noise. Lead with something you noticed about their salon, one offer and one question. Your emails are commercial messages, so CAN-SPAM applies: honest subject, postal address, working opt-out. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws). ## How to find hair salon leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Hair salons lead lists: questions How many hair salons are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 84,000 beauty salons with paid employees (NAICS 812112), and its 2023 Nonemployer Statistics counts more than 838,000 beauty salon businesses with no employees, mostly independent stylists. There are also about 7,800 employer barbershops and 141,000 nonemployer barbers. The BLS counts 595,000 hairdresser, hairstylist and cosmetologist jobs in 2025. Can I get a hair salon email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include salons just outside it. You can also limit it to one type, such as barbershops in Fulton County, Georgia. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the salon's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts every address, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. Salons without a website won't have a site email, but you still get phone, address and social links. How much does a hair salon email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per salon, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a search of the Chicago metro finds 6,000 salons and barbershops and you export 1,800 verified emails, that's 6,000 business credits and 1,800 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49. Salons you already have are never charged again. Do salon suites show up as separate businesses? Usually, yes. Stylists in a suite building often have their own Google Maps listing at the same address. Each one is a separate business credit, and grouping the list by address shows you the buildings. Can I exclude chains and beauty supply stores? Yes. Filter by category to drop beauty supply stores, and group by business name to drop chains. Results that are off-trade for your search are shown but never charged or exported. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 812112 and 812111)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Establishments with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2023 Nonemployer Statistics (US file, NAICS 812112 and 812111)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/nonemployer-statistics/datasets/2023/historical-datasets/nonemp23us.zip) · Businesses with no paid employees. 3. 3.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Barbers, Hairstylists, and Cosmetologists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/personal-care-and-service/barbers-hairstylists-and-cosmetologists.htm) ## See the hair salons in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Hardware has a large independent side. Many local stores are owner-run and fly the banner of a retailer-owned cooperative or wholesaler, which supplies most of their stock while the owner decides on local lines, services and vendors. The Census Bureau counted 15,694 hardware stores with employees in 2023 (NAICS 444130; home centers, paint stores and lumber yards are counted under other codes). California (1,235), Texas (1,106) and New York (1,038) lead, then Florida (833), Pennsylvania (642), Michigan (638) and Ohio (611).

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** hardware store, independent hardware store, local hardware store, home improvement store, lumber yard, lumber store, building supply store, building materials store, paint store, tool store, power tool store, farm supply store, farm and ranch store, feed and hardware, garden center, plumbing supply store, electrical supply store, fastener supplier, rental and hardware, key cutting, small engine repair and hardware, general store. **Google Maps categories:** Hardware store, Home improvement store, Lumber store, Building materials store, Paint store, Tool store, Garden center, Plumbing supply store, Electrical supply store. ## Who sells to hardware stores, and what works - **Tool, hardware and home product brands.** Independents can add local and niche lines their co-op doesn't stock.

Show how your system handles that and what processing costs. See [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads). - **Equipment rental and service partners.** Stores add rental, propane, small engine repair and key services to bring people in. Offer the equipment and the training to run it. - **Contractors and trades.** Plumbers, electricians and builders want a supply house nearby. A list of every hardware store and supply yard in an area shows where accounts can be opened. ## How to segment and qualify a hardware store list ### Independents vs home centers Group by website domain. Home center branches share one domain and buy centrally. Independents, including co-op banner stores, decide on local vendors. ### Lumber and building supply Lumber yards and building materials stores sell mostly to contractors. Search them separately; they buy delivery trucks, estimating software and contractor credit services. ### Paint stores Paint stores serve painters and homeowners and buy sundries, sprayers and tinting equipment. Keep them as their own list. ### Farm and rural stores Farm and ranch stores combine hardware, feed and fencing. Draw your rural territory and search farm supply and feed and hardware terms. ### Contractor-focused stores Early hours and categories like Plumbing supply store or Electrical supply store mark stores that serve the trades. Pitch pro-grade lines and contractor services to them. ### New and changed stores Stores change hands when owners retire. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new hardware listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach hardware stores ### Avoid the spring rush Spring and early summer are the busiest season for lawn, garden and project sales. Pitch new lines in late fall and winter, when owners plan the next season. ### Call mid-morning Contractors come in early and homeowners on weekends. Weekday mid-mornings are the quiet window when owners have time for a call or a rep visit. ### Respect the co-op relationship Banner stores buy most stock through their co-op or wholesaler. Ask whether your line can be ordered through it, or position yours as a local or specialty line that fills a gap. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Hardware stores lead lists: questions How do I find hardware store leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the terms that cover the trade (hardware store, lumber yard, building supply store, paint store, farm supply store), and Leadraft finds every matching store on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each store's website, checks them, and you export CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many hardware stores are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 15,694 hardware stores with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 444130). Home centers, paint stores and lumber yards are counted under other codes. California (1,235), Texas (1,106) and New York (1,038) have the most. Can I get a list of independent hardware stores only? Yes, with some sorting. Leadraft records each store's name and website, so you can group by domain and drop home center branches that share one corporate domain. Co-op banner stores usually remain, because they're independently owned. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the store's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the store's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a hardware store email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per store, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 1,106 hardware stores with employees (Census 2023). A Texas list of that size, with up to 1,000 verified emails, fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). A nationwide list of about 15,700 stores also fits Starter's business credits; for 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include the owner's name? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each store publishes on its own website, often an info or owner address, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 444130, Hardware Stores)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the hardware stores in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Most home builders are small. The Census Bureau counted 60,635 establishments in new single-family housing construction with employees in 2023 (NAICS 236115, builders working on the owner's land, typically custom builders and general contractors), and 92% had fewer than 10 staff. For-sale builders who build on their own land, the production and spec builders, are counted separately under NAICS 236117. California (7,230), Texas (4,840), Florida (4,419), North Carolina (3,592), Washington (3,243), New York (2,921) and Oregon (2,797) lead. Custom builders run a few homes a year with a superintendent and a network of subcontractors; the owner picks suppliers, often with a purchasing or estimating manager at larger firms. Production builders buy centrally through a division purchasing team. ## How many home builders are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 60,635 establishments in **New single-family housing construction (except for-sale builders) (NAICS 236115)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for home builders: | Field | Why it matters for home builders | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Home builder and Custom home builder separate builders from remodelers and other contractors. Construction company and General contractor rows need a website check to tell builders from remodelers. | | **website** | A builder's site shows floor plans, communities, a portfolio or a "build on your lot" page. That tells you whether they're custom, semi-custom or production, which decides who buys and how. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger builders list separate addresses for sales, warranty, purchasing and trade partners. Purchasing or trades@ is the inbox for suppliers; sales@ is for homebuyers, so skip it. | | **email + grade** | **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so it's a maybe. Send to Accept-all rows in smaller batches. | | **address + distance** | Model homes and sales centers appear as separate listings for production builders. Group by domain so you contact the division, not every model home. | | **rating + reviews** | Custom builders have few reviews and that's normal. Don't filter them out on review count. | | **phone** | Small builders answer their own phone, often from a job site. Call by hand and follow the TCPA. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every home builder No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** home builder, custom home builder, luxury home builder, new home builder, residential builder, house builder, production home builder, semi custom home builder, spec home builder, modular home builder, prefab home builder, log home builder, timber frame home builder, barndominium builder, tiny home builder, adu builder, design build firm, residential construction company, new home community, new construction homes, green home builder, lake home builder. **Google Maps categories:** Home builder, Custom home builder, Modular home builder, Log home builder, Construction company, General contractor. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to home builders, and what works - **Building material suppliers and lumber yards.** Lumber, trusses, windows, doors, cabinets and fixtures. Custom builders pick suppliers on service and lead times; pitch a dedicated rep and delivery to site. - **Subcontractors and trade partners.** Framers, concrete, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing and finish trades all sell to builders. List every builder in your market and ask to bid on the next start. - **Construction software.** Scheduling, selections, client portals, estimating and change orders. Custom builders want fewer client calls and cleaner selections; production builders want schedule control across many starts. - **Lenders, insurers and warranty providers.** Construction-to-permanent loans, builder's risk insurance and new-home warranties. A referral relationship with the builder is the goal. - **Marketing, web and photography firms.** Builders sell on portfolios and floor plans. Show a custom builder how their site and Google profile compare with the builders around them. - **Land brokers and developers.** Builders need lots. Brokers with finished lots or land can reach every builder active in a county. ## How to segment and qualify a home builder list ### Custom vs production Custom builders build a few homes a year on clients' land; production builders build communities. Read the website and group by domain: one domain across many model homes is a production builder that buys centrally. ### Modular, log and specialty Search modular, prefab, log, timber frame and barndominium terms separately. These builders buy from specific manufacturers and sell to a different buyer. ### Builders vs remodelers Many firms do both. Use the website and categories to split them, and send remodel-focused firms to a [remodeling contractor](https://leadraft.co/leads/remodeling-contractors) list. ### By growth county New homes cluster where land is available. Draw polygons around the exurban counties and corridors where starts are growing instead of searching the whole state. ### New builders A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your market flags new builder listings on Google Maps, when the firm is choosing suppliers and trades. ## How to reach home builders ### Write to the owner or purchasing At small builders the owner decides; at larger ones, a purchasing or estimating manager does. Pick the role from the emails column, and keep sales inboxes out of your sends. ### Time it to the build cycle Builders plan starts in winter and early spring. Suppliers and trades who reach them then get bid on the season's homes. ### Lead with schedule and cost per home Builders measure days to build and cost per home. Frame your offer as days saved, fewer delays or dollars per home. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Many small builders list a cell phone, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find home builder leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above.

Remove duplicates, group model homes by domain, and find and check an email for each builder. Leadraft does those steps in one search and charges each business once. How many home builders are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 60,635 establishments in new single-family housing construction with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 236115).

Can I separate custom builders from production builders? Mostly, yes. Search custom and production terms separately, then group rows by website domain. Production builders show up as many model home and community listings on one domain; custom builders usually have one listing. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the builder's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the builder's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a home builder email list cost?

Home health is a large, fragmented market of agencies that send nurses, therapists and aides to patients' homes. The Census Bureau counted 40,762 home health care establishments with paid employees in 2023, led by California (5,577), Texas (4,550), Florida (3,476), Ohio (1,729), Georgia (1,554) and Pennsylvania (1,522). CMS lists 12,409 Medicare-certified home health agencies in its provider data. The rest of the market is agencies outside Medicare, including private-duty nursing. Non-medical home care (companions, personal care aides) is counted under a different Census code but shows up in the same Google Maps searches. Most agencies are small and owner-run, with an administrator and a director of nursing or clinical manager; franchise brands and hospital-owned agencies buy more centrally. Hiring and keeping caregivers is the problem nearly every agency has. ## How many home health agencies are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 40,762 establishments in **Home health care services (NAICS 621610)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** home health agency, home health care, home health care service, home care agency, in home care, in-home care services, senior home care, elderly care at home, caregiver agency, home health aide services, personal care services, companion care, private duty nursing, skilled nursing at home, visiting nurse, visiting nurse association, home infusion, pediatric home health, home physical therapy, respite care, hospice, hospice care, palliative care, 24 hour home care. **Google Maps categories:** Home health care service, Hospice, Elder care service, Nursing agency, Senior citizen center. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to home health agencies, and what works - **Home care software vendors.** Scheduling, electronic visit verification (EVV), clinical documentation and billing. Pitch the administrator on caregiver hours scheduled faster and fewer billing errors, and mention HIPAA safeguards up front. - **Caregiver recruiting and staffing firms.** Every agency is short of aides and nurses. Lead with applicants per week or time to hire. Our [staffing agency guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-clients-for-staffing-agency) covers the outreach. - **Home care marketing agencies.** Families search "home care near me" and choose on reviews. Show the agency how it appears in its county and how its reviews compare with the nearest three. - **Medical supply and equipment companies.** Wound care, durable equipment and home infusion supplies. Skilled home health and hospice are the accounts; non-medical home care buys little of this. - **Billing, coding and compliance consultants.** Medicare home health billing and documentation are complex. Offer a concrete outcome: denials reduced or a documentation review before an audit. - **Insurance and payroll providers.** Agencies need liability, workers' comp and bonding, and pay hourly caregivers weekly. A fast quote or simpler payroll for part-time aides is the hook. See our [commercial insurance leads guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/commercial-insurance-leads). ## How to segment and qualify a home health agency list ### Skilled home health vs non-medical home care Run home health and skilled nursing terms separately from home care, companion and personal care terms. Skilled agencies bill Medicare and insurers; non-medical agencies bill families privately or through Medicaid programs. ### Hospice Search hospice and palliative care as their own segment. Hospices buy different software, supplies and referral services. ### Franchise vs independent Group by website domain. Franchise units share a brand domain and may buy software through the franchisor, while local marketing and hiring are often decided by the unit owner. ### Medicare-certified agencies CMS publishes the list of Medicare-certified home health agencies with addresses but no emails. Export your Leadraft list and match on name and address to tag certified agencies. ### New agencies New agencies need software, insurance, recruiting and marketing at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new home care listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach home health agencies ### Write to the administrator or owner Most agencies are small. The owner or administrator decides on software, staffing and marketing; the director of nursing has a say on clinical tools. Keep the first email short and name the agency. ### Lead with caregivers Hiring and keeping caregivers is the top concern. Offers that save scheduling time, help recruiting or reduce turnover get read first. ### Keep patient data out of outreach Emailing an agency's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve patient information. If your product handles patient data, expect HIPAA questions and a business associate agreement. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find home health agency leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Home health agencies lead lists: questions How many home health agencies are there in the US? CMS lists 12,409 Medicare-certified home health agencies in its provider data (September 2026). The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 40,762 home health care establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 621610), which includes agencies outside Medicare and branch offices. Non-medical home care is counted under a different code. How do I find home health agency leads? Pick a city, county, state or a shape you draw and search home health and home care terms (home health agency, home care agency, in home care, hospice). Leadraft keeps only agencies inside your area, finds emails on each agency's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Can I separate home health from non-medical home care and hospice? Mostly. Search each set of terms separately and filter by category (Home health care service, Hospice, Elder care service). Some agencies offer several services and carry several categories, so check those rows by name and website. Is there a free public list of home health agencies? Yes. CMS publishes Medicare-certified home health agencies on data.cms.gov with addresses and phone numbers, but no emails or websites. Leadraft adds websites, checked emails, ratings and social profiles from Google Maps and each agency's own site. How much does a home health agency email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per agency, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 5,577 home health care establishments with employees (Census 2023). A California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails to test one county first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each agency publishes on its own website, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 621610, Home Health Care Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[CMS Provider Data Catalog: Home Health Care Agencies](https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/dataset/6jpm-sxkc) · 12,409 rows in the dataset updated September 2026. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) 5. 5.[HHS: The HIPAA Privacy Rule](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/index.html) ## See the home health agencies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Hospitals are few, large and organized. The American Hospital Association counts about 6,100 hospitals of all types, 5,121 of them community hospitals, and the Census Bureau counted 5,777 general medical and surgical hospital establishments in 2023. Most belong to health systems that buy centrally: a system with ten hospitals usually has one supply chain team, one IT department and one marketing team. California (600 general hospitals), Texas (491), Florida (300), Pennsylvania (225), New York (210) and Illinois (208) have the most. Buying runs through purchasing and materials management, value analysis committees and group purchasing contracts, so a hospital list is a starting map of accounts, not a list of people ready to buy. Independent and critical access hospitals in rural areas are smaller and often easier to reach. ## How many hospitals are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 5,777 establishments in **General medical and surgical hospitals (NAICS 622110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 600 | 10.4% | | 2 | Texas | 491 | 8.5% | | 3 | Florida | 300 | 5.2% | | 4 | Pennsylvania | 225 | 3.9% | | 5 | New York | 210 | 3.6% | | 6 | Illinois | 208 | 3.6% | | 7 | Ohio | 194 | 3.4% | | 8 | North Carolina | 167 | 2.9% | | 9 | Georgia | 159 | 2.8% | | 10 | Michigan | 151 | 2.6% | | 11 | Wisconsin | 144 | 2.5% | | 12 | Missouri | 142 | 2.5% | | 13 | Minnesota | 141 | 2.4% | | 14 | Kansas | 140 | 2.4% | | 15 | Louisiana | 130 | 2.3% | | 16 | Indiana | 129 | 2.2% | | 17 | Oklahoma | 128 | 2.2% | | 18 | Iowa | 127 | 2.2% | | 19 | Tennessee | 124 | 2.1% | | 20 | Washington | 105 | 1.8% | | 21 | Kentucky | 102 | 1.8% | | 22 | Virginia | 100 | 1.7% | | 23 | Alabama | 99 | 1.7% | | 24 | Mississippi | 97 | 1.7% | | 25 | Nebraska | 96 | 1.7% | | 26 | Colorado | 93 | 1.6% | | 27 | New Jersey | 87 | 1.5% | | 28 | Arkansas | 85 | 1.5% | | 29 | Arizona | 80 | 1.4% | | 30 | Massachusetts | 76 | 1.3% | | 31 | South Carolina | 74 | 1.3% | | 32 | Oregon | 65 | 1.1% | | 33 | Montana | 62 | 1.1% | | 34 | South Dakota | 61 | 1.1% | | 35 | West Virginia | 59 | 1.0% | | 36 | Utah | 53 | 0.9% | | 37 | Idaho | 52 | 0.9% | | 38 | Maryland | 51 | 0.9% | | 39 | New Mexico | 49 | 0.8% | | 40 | North Dakota | 47 | 0.8% | | 41 | Nevada | 43 | 0.7% | | 42 | Maine | 41 | 0.7% | | 43 | Wyoming | 32 | 0.6% | | 44 | Connecticut | 31 | 0.5% | | 45 | New Hampshire | 31 | 0.5% | | 46 | Alaska | 24 | 0.4% | | 47 | Hawaii | 23 | 0.4% | | 48 | Vermont | 15 | 0.3% | | 49 | District of Columbia | 12 | 0.2% | | 50 | Delaware | 11 | 0.2% | | 51 | Rhode Island | 11 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a hospital lead list Every row is one hospital business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for hospitals: | Field | Why it matters for hospitals | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | The key to a clean hospital list. Google Maps lists the main campus and many departments (emergency room, imaging, labs, cancer centers, physician offices) as separate places. Keep rows filed under Hospital, General hospital or Medical center and set the department categories aside. | | **website** | Departments and clinics usually share the health system's domain. Grouping by website domain shows you each system and all its sites at once, which is how hospitals buy. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Hospital sites publish many addresses: patient relations, media, foundation, careers, billing, and sometimes purchasing or supplier relations. The role and the page each email was found on help you skip the patient inboxes and find the ones that reach a department. | | **email + grade** | Large hospital mail systems often accept every address, so expect more **Accept-all** grades than with small businesses. Treat those as a maybe and send to them in smaller batches. | | **reviews** | Review count is a quick way to tell a main campus (often thousands of reviews) from a department listing or a small outpatient site in the same building. | | **address + lat/lng** | Many departments sit at the same street address as the main campus. Matching on address, plus the domain, collapses a cluster of listings into one account. | | **phone** | The main switchboard routes calls to departments. Ask for purchasing, materials management or the department you sell to by name. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every hospital No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** hospital, general hospital, medical center, regional medical center, community hospital, children's hospital, teaching hospital, university hospital, critical access hospital, rural hospital, VA medical center, veterans hospital, psychiatric hospital, behavioral health hospital, rehabilitation hospital, long term acute care hospital, women's hospital, cancer center, heart hospital, orthopedic hospital, surgical hospital, emergency room, trauma center, military hospital. **Google Maps categories:** Hospital, General hospital, Medical center, Children's hospital, Private hospital, Teaching hospital, University hospital, Veterans hospital, Military hospital, Psychiatric hospital, Rehabilitation center, Emergency room. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to hospitals, and what works - **Medical device and supply companies.** Hospitals buy through purchasing, value analysis committees and group purchasing contracts. Use the list to map accounts in your territory, then reach the supply chain or materials management team with your contract status and the clinical department you serve. - **Healthcare IT and software vendors.** Revenue cycle, scheduling, staffing and analytics tools are bought by system-level IT and finance. Group the list by domain, rank systems by number of sites, and approach the system, not each hospital. - **Healthcare staffing agencies.** Nurse and allied staffing is bought by department leaders and HR. Target hospitals in a metro you can staff, and lead with the roles you fill and how fast. Our [staffing agency guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-clients-for-staffing-agency) covers the outreach. - **Facilities, cleaning and maintenance contractors.** Environmental services, linen, waste, HVAC and construction firms sell to facilities and plant operations. Smaller community and rural hospitals are the easier first accounts. - **Healthcare marketing agencies.** Independent and rural hospitals often run lean marketing teams. A short audit of how the hospital appears on Google Maps (rating, reviews, listing accuracy across its departments) is a concrete opening. ## How to segment and qualify a hospital list ### Main campuses only Keep rows filed under Hospital, General hospital or Medical center, then group by website domain and street address. In each group, the row with the most reviews and the system's own name is usually the main campus. Drop the rest or keep them as sub-sites of that account. ### Health systems vs independents One domain across many cities is a health system that buys centrally. A domain with one campus is an independent hospital, where the person who decides is often one or two steps from the CEO. ### Specialty hospitals Children's, psychiatric, rehabilitation, orthopedic and long-term acute care hospitals buy differently from general hospitals. Search those terms separately and keep each as its own segment. ### Rural and critical access hospitals Draw your area around rural counties rather than metros. These are smaller hospitals with short decision chains and fewer vendors calling on them. ### Departments you sell to If you sell to imaging, labs, emergency or cancer care, keep the department listings instead of dropping them. Their category and the page each email came from point you at the right part of the hospital. ## How to reach hospitals ### Reach purchasing, not info@ A general inbox at a hospital goes to patient services. Buyers usually reach purchasing, materials management or supply chain, or a department director. Look for supplier or vendor pages on the hospital's site, and use the role and source columns to find addresses that come from them. ### Expect vendor registration Most hospitals ask suppliers to register and complete vendor credentialing before sales reps visit or contracts are signed. Mention that you're ready to register, and ask who manages new vendors. ### Plan for a long cycle Purchases above a small threshold go through committees and contracts, often tied to the budget year. Start with a short, specific note and a clear next step, and expect months, not weeks. ### HIPAA and CAN-SPAM Emailing a hospital's business addresses about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve patient information. If your product touches patient data, say up front how you handle it, usually under a business associate agreement. The email itself falls under CAN-SPAM, and calls and texts under the TCPA. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find hospital leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Hospitals lead lists: questions How many hospitals are there in the US? The American Hospital Association counts about 6,100 hospitals of all types, including 5,121 community hospitals (Fast Facts 2026, from 2024 survey data). The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 5,777 general medical and surgical hospital establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 622110). Google Maps shows far more hospital listings, because departments and outpatient sites get their own places. How do I find hospital leads? Pick your territory as a state, county or a shape you draw, search hospital terms (hospital, medical center, children's hospital, rehabilitation hospital), and keep rows filed under the Hospital categories. Group by website domain to see each health system. Leadraft finds emails on each hospital's own website and checks them before you export. How do I keep only main hospital campuses and not departments? Filter to the Hospital, General hospital and Medical center categories, then group rows by website domain and street address. Departments usually share both with the main campus. Keep the row with the most reviews and the hospital's own name in each group. Who should I contact at a hospital? It depends on what you sell. Supplies and devices go through purchasing, materials management or supply chain, often with a value analysis committee. Software goes through IT and finance at the health system level. Staffing goes to department leaders and HR. A generic info@ address usually reaches patient services. How much does a hospital email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per hospital, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 491 general hospital establishments (Census 2023). Google Maps will show more hospital listings than that, so a Texas-wide search fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). The Free plan (500 businesses, 50 checked emails a month) covers a single metro to test first. Is there a free public list of hospitals? Yes. CMS publishes Hospital General Information on data.cms.gov, about 5,400 Medicare-registered hospitals with addresses and phone numbers. It has no emails or websites.

The Census Bureau counted about 55,900 hotels and motels with employees in 2023 (NAICS 721110, which excludes casino hotels), employing about 1.5 million people. California (about 6,000) and Texas (5,600) lead, then Florida (3,500), New York (2,400) and Georgia (2,200). The brand on the sign is rarely the buyer. Most branded hotels are owned by franchisees and many are run by third-party management companies, so purchasing sits with the general manager, the owner's asset manager or the management company, and brand standards fix some categories (property management system, signage, some amenities). Independents, motels, inns and bed and breakfasts decide locally and are easier to reach. Inside a property, the GM approves, the director of sales owns group and event business, and department heads (housekeeping, maintenance, food and beverage) influence what gets bought. ## How many hotels are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 55,895 establishments in **Hotels (except casino hotels) and motels (NAICS 721110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for hotels: | Field | Why it matters for hotels | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Hotels publish front desk, reservations and sales addresses. The grade tells you whether a mailbox is confirmed (**Verified**) or the domain accepts any address (**Accept-all**, a maybe, never a yes). Branded properties often route email through the brand's domain, so check the source page. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | This is where hotels differ from most trades: one property can list reservations@, sales@, events@, the GM and careers. The role tells you which inbox fits your pitch, and the source page shows whether it came from the property's own site or a group page. | | **website** | The domain tells you who you're dealing with. A brand domain means a franchise or managed property; a domain shared across several hotels points to a management company or ownership group; an own domain means an independent. | | **price\_level** | Where Google shows one, it separates economy, midscale and upscale. Amenity, linen and furniture suppliers price very differently across those bands. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tracks size and occupancy. Low ratings with complaints about cleanliness, Wi-Fi or noise are direct leads for housekeeping, IT and renovation vendors. | | **category / categories** | Splits hotels from motels, inns, B&Bs, resorts and extended stay. A B&B owner and a 300-room resort's purchasing team are different conversations. | | **phone + hours** | Hotels answer 24 hours, but the GM and sales team keep office hours. Call the main line during the business day and ask for the right department. | | **address + lat/lng + distance** | Useful for route sales (linen, laundry, maintenance) and for corporate travel or event planners who need properties within a radius of a venue, airport or office. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every hotel No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** hotel, motel, inn, boutique hotel, resort, extended stay hotel, bed and breakfast, lodge, guest house, airport hotel, conference hotel, beach resort, ski lodge, luxury hotel, budget hotel, historic hotel, spa resort, suites hotel, roadside motel, cabin rental, hostel, country inn. **Google Maps categories:** Hotel, Motel, Inn, Resort hotel, Extended stay hotel, Bed & breakfast, Lodge, Guest house, Hostel, Cottage rental. Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to hotels, and what works - **Hotel technology: PMS add-ons, revenue management, guest messaging, Wi-Fi.** Speak to the GM and the owner's numbers: RevPAR, direct bookings against OTA commission, front desk labor. Check whether brand standards restrict your category before chasing franchised properties. - **Amenity, linen, laundry and housekeeping suppliers.** Recurring spend, often route-based. Segment by size (review count) and price level, and lead with delivery reliability and cost per occupied room. - **Maintenance, renovation and FF&E contractors.** Properties renovate on cycles and after rating drops. Low recent ratings that mention dated rooms are the signal; pitch the owner or management company, not the front desk. - **Event planners, tour operators and corporate travel managers.** You're the buyer here. Use the list to find every property within a radius of your venue and write to sales@ with dates, room nights and meeting space needs. - **Hospitality marketing and booking-site agencies.** Independents and small groups depend on online travel agencies. Show how many direct bookings the property could win with a better site or Google presence. - **Staffing and training firms.** Housekeeping and front desk turnover is constant. Pitch the GM with how fast you fill shifts and in which roles. ## How to segment and qualify a hotel list ### Independents vs branded vs managed Group by website domain. An own domain is usually an independent; a brand domain is a franchise or brand-managed property; one domain across several hotels is a management company. Sell to management companies once, not property by property. ### By lodging type Use categories to split full hotels, motels, inns, B&Bs, resorts and extended stay. Extended stay and motels buy differently from resorts with restaurants, spas and event space. ### By size and tier Review count and price level together give a rough size and tier. Large upscale properties have department heads and procurement; small economy properties have an owner-operator. ### Event and group business Properties with an events@ or sales@ address host meetings and weddings. They are the targets for AV, catering, florists and event software. ### Weak reviews Filter for ratings under 3.5. Read the review themes before you write: cleanliness, maintenance and noise each point to a different vendor. ### New and reflagged properties Set up a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your market to catch new hotel listings on Google Maps. New openings buy everything; a property that changes brand often renovates. ## How to reach hotels ### Go past the front desk The front desk and reservations inboxes handle guests. Ask for the GM, director of sales or the department head by title, and write to sales@ or a named address when the list has one. ### Find out who owns the decision For branded hotels, ask early whether the property, the management company or the brand decides. It saves weeks. Many vendors win a management company once and roll out across its portfolio. ### Time it around check-in and check-out Mornings are check-outs and housekeeping, late afternoon is check-ins. Mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays work best for calls, and avoid big local event weekends when the property is full. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call business lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Hotels lead lists: questions How many hotels are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 55,895 hotels and motels with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 721110, excluding casino hotels). Bed and breakfasts and other small lodging are counted separately, and owner-run places with no payroll aren't counted. Google Maps lists all of them, so a search for your area usually returns more rows than the Census count for that area. Can I get a hotel email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius around a venue or airport, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only properties inside your area, or inside plus nearby if you choose. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the hotel's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the property's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a hotel email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per property, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida had about 3,500 hotels and motels with employees in 2023 (Census). A statewide list of that size, even with inns and B&Bs added, fits the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month). If you want sales and GM addresses for most properties, say 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in a month. Do you get the hotel's sales or events email, not just reservations? Often. Leadraft keeps up to 5 emails per business with their role and the page they were found on, so when a property publishes sales@ or events@ on its site, you see it next to reservations@. Branded hotels that only use the brand's central booking page may have no property email. Do you include the GM's name or personal email? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails the property publishes on its own website, each with its role and source. If a hotel lists a named GM address on its site, that's what you'll see. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 721110, Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[American Hotel & Lodging Association: 2026 State of the Industry](https://www.ahla.com/soti) · Direct hotel operations employment projected at about 2.2 million in 2026. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the hotels in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

House cleaning is a local, owner-run business sold to homeowners and renters, mostly as recurring weekly, biweekly or monthly visits plus one-off deep cleans and move-outs. There is no separate Census code for it: maid services share NAICS 561720 with commercial janitorial firms, about 67,800 establishments with employees in 2023, and 77% of them had fewer than 10 staff. A large share of house cleaners are solo operators with no payroll, so they don't appear in that count but do appear on Google Maps. Demand follows household income and housing density, so the biggest markets are the big metros of California, Florida, Texas and New York, plus fast-growing suburbs. Franchise brands are common, but most listings are independents where the owner books jobs, runs the schedule and still cleans some of the houses. ## What's in a house cleaning service lead list Every row is one house cleaning service business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for house cleaning services: | Field | Why it matters for house cleaning services | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | House cleaning service is the core category, but many residential cleaners also tick Commercial cleaning service. Look at all the categories, and the website, before you decide a row is residential. | | **email + grade** | Most house cleaners publish one address, often a Gmail or the booking inbox. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so treat it as a maybe. The free\_provider column flags Gmail and similar addresses, which usually go straight to the owner. | | **website + contact\_form** | Residential cleaning lives on online quotes and booking. No website, or a site with no booking or quote form, is the opening for web and booking-software vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Reviews drive this trade. Many recent reviews and a high rating usually mean a busy, hiring business; few reviews mean the owner needs marketing. | | **address + service\_area** | Most residential cleaners are service-area businesses run from home, with no storefront. The service area and distance columns tell you which neighborhoods they cover. | | **facebook / instagram** | Before-and-after photos sell house cleaning, and many owners run their marketing from Facebook and Instagram. A missing or quiet profile is a pitch for social media help. | | **phone** | The number is often the owner's mobile. Dial by hand, follow the TCPA for calls and texts, and don't text marketing without consent. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every house cleaning service No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** house cleaning service, maid service, home cleaning service, residential cleaning service, housekeeping service, cleaning lady, house cleaner, deep cleaning service, move out cleaning service, move in cleaning service, apartment cleaning service, condo cleaning service, recurring house cleaning, spring cleaning service, airbnb cleaning service, vacation rental cleaning, short term rental turnover cleaning, eco friendly cleaning service, green cleaning service, organic house cleaning, home organizing service, post renovation cleaning, senior home cleaning, laundry and ironing service. **Google Maps categories:** House cleaning service, Housekeeping service, Commercial cleaning service, Carpet cleaning service, Window cleaning service, Professional organizer. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to house cleaning services, and what works - **Booking and scheduling software.** Online booking, recurring billing, reminders and crew routing. Owners want fewer no-shows and less time on the phone. Lead with one number: hours a week spent booking and rescheduling. - **Local marketing, SEO and web agencies.** Show the owner where they rank for "house cleaning near me" in their ZIP and how many reviews the top three nearby cleaners have. Rows with no website are the obvious start; see [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites). - **Supply and equipment sellers.** Microfiber, vacuums, eco-friendly chemicals and caddies. Sell refill bundles and fast shipping to small teams that buy from big-box stores today. - **Insurance and bonding providers.** Homeowners ask whether the cleaner is insured and bonded. A fast quote for general liability, a bond and a shareable certificate is the hook. - **Property managers and short-term rental hosts.** Managers who need reliable turnover cleaners can list every cleaner near their units and invite quotes, rather than relying on one referral. ## How to segment and qualify a house cleaning service list ### Residential only Search house cleaning and maid terms and keep rows filed as House cleaning service. Commercial janitorial firms belong in a different pitch: see the [janitorial company list](https://leadraft.co/leads/janitorial-companies), or [all cleaning companies](https://leadraft.co/leads/cleaning-services) for the whole trade. ### Solo operators vs teams A Gmail address, one phone and no team page usually means a solo cleaner. Several emails, a careers page or more than one listed location means a team. Solo owners buy simple tools; teams buy scheduling, payroll and insurance. ### Short-term rental cleaners Airbnb and vacation-rental cleaners cluster in beach, mountain and city-center markets. Search "airbnb cleaning service" and "vacation rental cleaning" there and keep them separate: they need turnover scheduling and linen services. ### Weak online presence No website, a rating under 4.0 or fewer than 20 reviews. These are the best targets for marketing and review offers, and you can name the gap in your first line. See [businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews). ### Franchise vs independent Franchise units share a brand and often a domain. Group by domain and pitch the franchisor for software, the local owner for local marketing. ### New cleaners New cleaning businesses open all the time. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new listings as they appear on Google Maps, when they need insurance, supplies, a website and a booking tool. ## How to reach house cleaning services ### The owner is cleaning during the day Many owners still clean houses from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Schedule emails to land in the late afternoon or evening, and call after 3 p.m. ### Keep it short and concrete Owners read email on their phone between jobs. Two or three sentences, one observation about their business (reviews, booking, website) and one question. ### Mind the seasons Spring cleaning and the weeks before Thanksgiving and Christmas are the busiest. Pitches for hiring and booking tools land well just before those peaks; slow weeks in January and late summer are better for longer conversations. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Many listed numbers are personal cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find house cleaning service leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above.

Each business is charged once, ever. ## House cleaning services lead lists: questions How do I find house cleaning service leads? Choose the area, then search Google Maps for every variant: house cleaning service, maid service, home cleaning service, housekeeping service, deep cleaning service, move out cleaning service and airbnb cleaning service. Remove duplicates, keep residential rows by category, and find and check an email for each business. Leadraft runs those steps in one search and charges each business once. How many house cleaning services are there in the US? There's no exact count. The Census Bureau groups maid services with commercial janitorial firms under NAICS 561720, which had 67,799 establishments with paid employees in 2023. Many house cleaners work alone with no payroll and aren't in that number, so Google Maps usually shows more residential cleaners than any official table. Can I get a list for one city or ZIP code? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only businesses inside your area, or inside plus nearby if you choose. Service-area cleaners are matched on the location Google Maps shows for them. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the business's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a house cleaning service email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has 6,675 establishments in NAICS 561720 (Census 2023), residential and commercial together. Even all of those fit in the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, with 1,000 checked emails). For up to 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49 a month) covers it. The Free plan gives 500 businesses and 50 checked emails to test one city. Do you include the owner's name? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. Small cleaners often publish an address that goes straight to the owner, and you get each email with its role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 561720, Janitorial Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees; NAICS 561720 includes maid services and commercial janitorial firms. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the house cleaning services in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counts HVAC companies together with plumbers under NAICS 238220: about 111,200 employer businesses in 2023, employing 1.21 million people, and 77% of them had fewer than 10 employees. Franchise brands and multi-location groups are common at the top of the market, so a metro usually has a handful of big, marketing-heavy companies and a long tail of owner-operators. The largest state counts in the code are California (about 11,700), Florida (9,400), Texas (9,000) and New York (7,100). Larger shops have a general manager or office manager who buys software and marketing; small ones are decided by the owner, often between service calls. ## How many hVAC contractors are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 111,207 establishments in **Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (NAICS 238220)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for hVAC contractors: | Field | Why it matters for hVAC contractors | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | HVAC companies tend to publish a service or office address (service@, info@, office@). The grade tells you whether it's a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts everything (**Accept-all**, a maybe), so you can send to the confirmed ones first. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Mid-size HVAC companies often list separate addresses for service, sales (install estimates), careers and billing. The role and source page help you write to sales or the office instead of the recruiting inbox. | | **rating + reviews** | HVAC companies compete hard on reviews. Review count tracks the number of trucks fairly well, which helps you size an account before you pitch fleet, dispatch or financing products. | | **website + website\_platform** | Big HVAC brands run custom sites with booking widgets; small ones use a builder template or nothing. The platform column tells web agencies who is ready for a rebuild. | | **hours** | Shows who runs 24/7 emergency service. Those companies buy answering services, after-hours dispatch and call tracking, and the hours tell you when someone will pick up. | | **category / categories** | Separates residential HVAC from duct cleaning, commercial refrigeration and combined plumbing-HVAC shops, which are different buyers. | | **phone** | Answered by a CSR or dispatcher during the day. For small shops it's often the owner's cell, which matters under the TCPA. | | **address + lat/lng** | Distributors and territory-based franchise sellers can map every contractor around a branch or inside a protected territory. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every HVAC contractor No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** hvac contractor, hvac company, heating and air conditioning, air conditioning contractor, ac repair, air conditioning repair service, ac installation, heating contractor, furnace repair service, furnace installation, heat pump installer, ductless mini split installer, boiler service, duct cleaning service, air duct cleaning, indoor air quality service, commercial hvac contractor, refrigeration contractor, emergency ac repair, hvac maintenance plan, geothermal heating contractor, thermostat installation, dryer vent cleaning. **Google Maps categories:** HVAC contractor, Air conditioning contractor, Air conditioning repair service, Heating contractor, Furnace repair service, Air duct cleaning service, Air conditioning system supplier, Plumber. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to hVAC contractors, and what works - **HVAC marketing agencies and lead-gen shops.** Pitch before the season, not during it. Show where they rank for "ac repair near me" in their ZIP compared with the competitor with the most reviews, and offer a pre-summer tune-up campaign. - **Field service and membership software.** Maintenance agreements are the steady revenue in HVAC. Pitch tools that sell and renew service plans, dispatch faster and cut callbacks. Target companies with 100+ reviews, which tend to run several trucks. - **Equipment distributors and manufacturers.** Heat pumps, mini splits and high-efficiency furnaces. Segment by area around each branch, and lead with rebate and tax-credit paperwork help, which contractors find tedious. - **Consumer financing and warranty providers.** A system replacement is a five-figure sale. Offer financing that helps the comfort advisor close at the kitchen table, with a short note on approval rates you can document. - **Answering services and call-handling tools.** On the first hot week of summer, calls outrun staff. Target 24-hour companies and quote a cost per answered call. - **Private equity platforms and business brokers.** Buyers want well-reviewed independents with membership revenue. Draw the target metro as a polygon, exclude franchise names, filter by review count, and write a short, respectful note to the owner. ## How to segment and qualify a HVAC contractor list ### Residential vs commercial Search "commercial hvac contractor" and "refrigeration contractor" separately from residential terms. Commercial shops sell to property managers and restaurants and buy different software and parts. ### HVAC-only vs HVAC plus plumbing or electrical Many companies list Plumber or Electrician alongside HVAC contractor. Multi-trade shops are larger and usually have an office manager who handles vendors. ### Emergency service Filter on the hours column and on "24 hour" or "emergency" in the business name. These companies care most about missed calls and dispatch speed. ### Duct cleaning and indoor air quality Duct cleaning companies are often separate small businesses with a different customer and a heavy reliance on coupons and social ads. Use the Air duct cleaning service category. ### Weak online presence No website, a rating under 4.0, or fewer than 30 reviews. These are the best leads for marketing and review offers, and you can name the gap in your first line. ### Climate zones Cooling-heavy markets (Texas, Florida, Arizona) and heating-heavy markets (the Midwest and Northeast) buy on different calendars. Run separate searches per region and time each campaign to its shoulder season. ## How to reach hVAC contractors ### Pitch in the shoulder seasons HVAC is busiest in the first heat wave and the first cold snap. Spring (March to May) and fall (September to October) are when owners plan marketing, hire and look at software. Avoid July in the South and January in the North. ### Techs are in attics, owners are in trucks Owners of small shops run calls themselves in the morning and do office work after 5 pm. Mid-size companies have a dispatcher or CSR who answers the phone and screens; ask for the general manager or owner and keep the reason short. ### Talk in tickets, agreements and callbacks HVAC owners track average ticket, close rate on replacements and maintenance agreements. "40 more service-plan renewals this fall" is concrete; "brand awareness" isn't. ### Follow the TCPA and CAN-SPAM Small-shop numbers are often the owner's mobile. Autodialed or prerecorded calls and marketing texts to wireless numbers need prior consent, so dial by hand and don't text cold. Commercial email needs honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## HVAC contractors lead lists: questions How many HVAC companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted about 111,200 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 238220). The Census doesn't separate HVAC from plumbing, and one-person companies without payroll aren't counted. The BLS counted 440,900 HVAC and refrigeration mechanic and installer jobs in 2025. Google Maps counts differ again because companies list several categories. Can I get an HVAC contractor email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius around a branch, or upload a KML file of a territory. Leadraft only keeps companies inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose) and doesn't charge for the rest. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does an HVAC email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas had about 9,000 plumbing and HVAC contractors with employees in 2023 (Census). A Texas list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month); to take out 3,500 verified emails in one month, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city. When is the best time to email HVAC contractors? In the shoulder seasons, spring and fall, when call volume drops and owners plan for the next peak. On a given day, late afternoon or early evening works best, because owners and managers are in the field or on the phones in the morning. Is this a list of HVAC leads (homeowners who need service)? No. It's a list of HVAC businesses, for people who sell to them: agencies, software, distributors, financing and buyers. If you're an HVAC contractor looking for homeowners, this isn't the right product. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 238220, Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/installation-maintenance-and-repair/heating-air-conditioning-and-refrigeration-mechanics-and-installers.htm) · 440,900 jobs in 2025; 11% projected growth 2025–35. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the hVAC contractors in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counts about 134,000 insurance agency and brokerage establishments with paid employees, employing about 819,000 people, plus about 305,000 agency businesses with no staff. BLS says 63% of insurance sales agents work at agencies and brokerages. The market splits into two kinds of office that look alike on Google Maps but buy very differently. **Captive agents** sell for one carrier (State Farm, Allstate, Farmers and others): they own their small business, but the carrier controls much of their branding, quoting systems and marketing rules. **Independent agencies** appoint with many carriers, choose their own agency management system and marketing, and are the bigger market for most vendors. Agency principals decide; in larger agencies an operations or marketing manager handles vendors. ## How many insurance agencies are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 133,728 establishments in **Insurance agencies and brokerages (NAICS 524210)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for insurance agencies: | Field | Why it matters for insurance agencies | | --- | --- | | **business** | Captive offices carry the carrier's brand in the name ("Jane Smith - State Farm Insurance Agent"). It's the fastest way to split captive agents from independents, who usually trade under their own agency name. | | **category / categories** | Agencies pick line-specific categories ("Auto insurance agency", "Life insurance agency", "Health insurance agency"). Use them to target personal lines, life and health, or commercial specialists. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Agencies publish a service inbox, a quotes inbox and often the principal's address. Up to 5 emails per agency with role and source let you skip the quote-request inbox and write to the owner. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **website and contact\_form** | Captive agents often have a carrier-hosted agent page; independents run their own site with a quote form. A Maps link that points to a carrier page is a clear sign of a captive office. | | **rating and reviews** | Agencies with many recent reviews are actively building their book. Few reviews in a crowded ZIP is a reputation and local SEO opening. | | **phone and hours** | Insurance is still sold by phone. The listed number is usually the main office line, answered by the agent or a CSR during business hours. | | **linkedin and facebook** | Commercial agencies and benefits brokers use LinkedIn; personal-lines agencies lean on Facebook. The social links show which audience an agency serves. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every insurance agency No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** insurance agency, insurance agent, insurance broker, independent insurance agency, auto insurance agency, car insurance, home insurance agency, homeowners insurance, life insurance agency, life insurance agent, health insurance agency, medicare insurance agent, commercial insurance agency, business insurance, workers compensation insurance, commercial auto insurance, contractor insurance, flood insurance, renters insurance, motorcycle insurance, boat insurance, employee benefits broker, state farm agent, allstate agent, farmers insurance agent. **Google Maps categories:** Insurance agency, Insurance broker, Insurance company, Auto insurance agency, Home insurance agency, Life insurance agency, Health insurance agency. Leadraft includes these in its [Legal & financial keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#legal-financial) (68 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to insurance agencies, and what works - **Insurance marketing agencies, web designers and SEO.** Target independents with their own sites; captive agents are often limited to carrier-approved marketing. Lead with a local gap: they don't show up for "\[line\] insurance \[city\]". - **Agency management systems, quoting tools and CRMs.** Independent agencies choose their own systems; captive agents mostly use the carrier's. Segment on the business name and pitch independents with migration help and carrier integrations. - **Carriers, MGAs and agency networks recruiting appointments.** Write to independent principals. Lead with the market you open (a hard-to-place line, a new state) and the commission, in two or three lines. - **Lead vendors and call centers.** Line matters most. Medicare and final expense agents buy different leads from P&C agencies. Use categories to match the offer to the line. - **Agency buyers and aggregators.** Independent agencies are often acquired as their founders approach retirement. A short, discreet note to the principal works better than anything sent to the service inbox. - **Virtual assistants and outsourced CSR services.** Small agencies run on one or two service staff. Lead with renewals, certificates and endorsements you'd take off their desk. ## How to segment and qualify a insurance agency list ### Captive vs independent Add carrier names ("state farm agent", "allstate agent", "farmers insurance agent") as search terms to capture captive offices, then filter on business name to keep them or drop them. Most software and recruiting offers are for independents only. ### By line of business Run one line per specialty: auto and home, life, health and Medicare, commercial, benefits. Use the category column to confirm the specialty, and write a separate email per line. ### Personal lines vs commercial Commercial agencies list business, contractor or workers' comp services and usually have LinkedIn; personal-lines agencies have more consumer reviews and Facebook. Use both to sort. ### Agencies with weak websites Filter for no website or a carrier-hosted page. For independents, that's a web design and SEO prospect; for captives, check what the carrier allows before you pitch. ### New agencies Captive agents open new offices and independents start agencies every month. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area delivers only newly listed agencies, which need systems, marketing and staff. ## How to reach insurance agencies ### Respect the carrier's rules for captive agents Captive agents usually need carrier approval for marketing, websites and some software. If you pitch them, show you know the limits, or limit your offer to what they can buy themselves (local events, sponsorships, staff help). ### Avoid open enrollment and renewal peaks Medicare and health agents are swamped during Medicare Annual Enrollment (October 15 to December 7) and ACA open enrollment, which starts November 1. P&C agencies are busiest around January 1 and July 1 commercial renewals. Late winter and spring are calmer for most. ### Write to the principal, short The agency owner reads email between client calls. Two or three lines, one specific observation, and one question. Long emails go to the CSR and stay there. ### Keep it B2B and CAN-SPAM clean Insurance agencies are businesses, and B2B email in the US is allowed under CAN-SPAM with a truthful subject, a postal address and a working opt-out. Agents are licensed by state, but those rules govern how they sell to consumers, not how vendors pitch them.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Insurance agencies lead lists: questions How many insurance agencies are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 133,700 insurance agency and brokerage establishments with paid employees (NAICS 524210), employing about 818,600 people. Nonemployer Statistics adds about 305,300 agency businesses with no staff. BLS counts about 572,600 insurance sales agent jobs in 2025. Can I get an insurance agency email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include agencies just outside it. You can also limit the search to one line, such as commercial insurance agencies in Maricopa County. Can I separate independent agencies from captive agents? Yes, mostly. Captive offices usually carry the carrier's name in their Google Maps listing and link to a carrier-hosted page. Filter the business name and website columns to split them. Some independents also mention carriers they represent, so check before you send. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the agency's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. How much does an insurance agency email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per agency, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a statewide search finds 7,000 agencies and you export 2,000 verified emails from the independents only, that's 7,000 business credits and 2,000 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49. Do I get the carriers each agency writes with? No. Leadraft doesn't have carrier appointments. The business name shows captive offices; for independents, the carriers they represent are usually listed on their website. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 524210)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Establishments with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2023 Nonemployer Statistics (US file, NAICS 52421)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/nonemployer-statistics/datasets/2023/historical-datasets/nonemp23us.zip) 3. 3.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Insurance Sales Agents](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/sales/insurance-sales-agents.htm) 4. 4.[Medicare.gov, Joining a plan: when you can join](https://www.medicare.gov/basics/get-started-with-medicare/get-more-coverage/joining-a-plan) 5. 5.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## See the insurance agencies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Local IT services is a market of small firms. The Census Bureau counted 58,113 computer systems design establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541512), the code most MSPs and IT consultancies file under. California (about 7,600) and Texas (7,200) lead, then Virginia (4,000), Florida (3,800), New York (3,100) and New Jersey (2,500). That code also includes software integrators and federal contractors that never appear on Google Maps, while many one-person IT support businesses have no payroll and aren't counted. The local MSP that supports dental offices, law firms and small manufacturers is usually a small team, and the owner is often still a technician who makes the buying decisions. ## How many iT services companies are there in each state? California, Texas and Virginia have the most. The Census Bureau counted 58,113 establishments in **Computer systems design services (NAICS 541512)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for iT services companies: | Field | Why it matters for iT services companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates business-focused MSPs and consultants (Computer support and services, Computer consultant) from consumer repair shops (Computer repair service). Most vendors selling to MSPs want the first group only. | | **email + grade** | IT firms run their own mail and often lock it down well, so you'll see clear **Verified** results. Some set up catch-all domains on purpose; those come back **Accept-all**, a maybe, so send to them more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | MSP sites often list support@, sales@ and a named owner. Support inboxes feed a ticketing system, so use the role column to write to sales or the owner instead. | | **website + website\_platform** | Many MSPs use the same few MSP-marketing site templates. The platform column and the site itself tell you who has invested in marketing and who hasn't. | | **hours** | Firms that list 24 hours usually sell around-the-clock monitoring and support. That is a useful split for NOC, SOC and after-hours help desk offers. | | **rating + reviews** | Business clients rarely leave reviews, so a B2B MSP with 30 reviews is doing well. Consumer repair shops have many more. Don't compare the two on review count. | | **linkedin** | Most MSPs have a LinkedIn company page. Use it to check team size and the owner's name before you write. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every IT services company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** managed it services, managed service provider, msp, it support, it services, it company, it consulting, computer support, computer consultant, tech support service, business it support, network support, network installation, network cabling contractor, cybersecurity company, cyber security services, cloud services provider, data backup service, data recovery service, help desk services, voip provider, business phone systems, computer repair service, computer repair shop, it outsourcing, server support. **Google Maps categories:** Computer support and services, Computer consultant, Computer service, Computer repair service, Computer security service, Data recovery service, Software company, Telecommunications service provider. Leadraft includes these in its [Professional & B2B keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#professional-b2b) (66 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to iT services companies, and what works - **MSP software vendors.** RMM, PSA, documentation, backup and security tools. Owners compare on per-endpoint price and how much technician time a tool saves. Lead with a concrete number per seat and a short trial. - **Distributors and hardware resellers.** Firewalls, laptops, network gear and licensing. MSPs want fast quotes, stock they can count on and margin. Target firms with Computer support and services or Computer consultant categories. - **White-label help desk, NOC and SOC providers.** Small MSPs can't staff nights. Offer after-hours coverage or managed detection under their brand, priced per endpoint, and target firms that don't list 24-hour hours yet. - **MSP marketing and lead generation agencies.** Many MSPs grow on referrals and want a steadier pipeline. Show them how their site and reviews compare with the top three MSPs in their city. - **Cyber insurance and compliance consultants.** MSPs are asked by clients about cyber insurance requirements and frameworks. Offer a partner program or referral fee, framed around what their clients are already asking. - **MSP acquirers and roll-ups.** Buyers looking for MSPs in a region. Filter to established business-focused firms and reach the owner with a short, low-pressure note. ## How to segment and qualify a IT services company list ### Business MSPs vs consumer repair Search managed IT and IT support terms separately from computer repair terms, then use the category column to tag each row. A repair shop fixing laptops for walk-ins doesn't buy RMM seats. ### Security-focused firms Cybersecurity companies and MSSPs buy different tools and partners than general MSPs. Search cybersecurity terms on their own and keep them as a segment. ### Cabling and phone system installers Low-voltage, network cabling and VoIP companies sit next to IT on Google Maps. They buy cable, racks and phone hardware, not RMM. Keep them separate or leave them out. ### Vertical specialists Many MSPs serve one vertical (dental, legal, medical, accounting) and say so on their site. Pair them with the matching list, like [dentists](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists) or [accountants](https://leadraft.co/leads/accountants), if your offer fits that vertical. ### By metro MSPs sell within driving distance of their clients. Draw a polygon around a metro or upload a KML territory so the list matches how they work. ### Newly opened firms New MSPs often start when a technician leaves a larger firm. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps, when they choose their tool stack. ## How to reach iT services companies ### Owners are technical MSP owners usually came up as engineers. Skip vague benefits and say what the product does, how it integrates with the tools they already use and what it costs per endpoint. ### Mornings are tickets, afternoons are better Help desks are busiest first thing on Monday and every morning. Late morning to mid-afternoon, Tuesday to Thursday, tends to reach the owner. ### Expect a strict spam filter IT firms run tight email security. Send plain-text emails from a warmed domain, avoid link shorteners and attachments, and keep the first email short. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## IT services companies lead lists: questions How do I find IT services company leads? Pick the city, county or ZIP code you sell into, search terms like managed it services, it support, computer consultant and cybersecurity company, and let Leadraft collect every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each company's own website and checks every mailbox, so you export only Verified and Accept-all emails. How many IT services companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 58,113 computer systems design establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541512), the code most MSPs and IT consultancies use. That includes software integrators and federal contractors, and leaves out one-person IT businesses with no payroll, so the number of local MSPs you'll find on Google Maps is different. Can I get a list of MSPs without computer repair shops? Yes. Search managed IT, IT support and computer consultant terms, then filter out rows whose category is Computer repair service. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so the split is a filter, not a manual review. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does an MSP email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has about 7,200 computer systems design establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include the MSP owner's name? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each company publishes on its own website, often sales@ or support@ and sometimes the owner's own, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 541512, Computer Systems Design Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the iT services companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Commercial janitorial work is contract work: offices, medical buildings, schools, banks, retail and industrial sites cleaned on a monthly agreement, mostly at night. The Census Bureau counts janitorial contractors and residential maid services together under NAICS 561720, about 67,800 establishments with employees in 2023, and 77% of them had fewer than 10 staff. The commercial side is more concentrated than those numbers suggest: a few national and regional contractors hold large multi-site accounts, while thousands of small local firms compete for single buildings. California (about 7,000 establishments in the code), Florida (6,700), Texas (3,900), New York (3,800), Illinois (2,500) and Pennsylvania (2,500) lead. Franchise systems are common, and franchise owners often get their accounts and supplies through the franchisor. The owner usually decides on anything that costs real money; an operations manager runs crews and supplies at larger firms. ## How many janitorial companies are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 67,799 establishments in **Janitorial services (NAICS 561720)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for janitorial companies: | Field | Why it matters for janitorial companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Janitorial service and Commercial cleaning service are the core categories. Many residential maid services also tick Commercial cleaning service, so check the second and third categories and the website before you call a row commercial. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Commercial firms tend to publish more than one address: sales@, bids@, office@, careers@. The role and the page each was found on help you skip the jobs inbox, which at a cleaning company gets most of the mail. | | **email + grade** | **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so it's a maybe; send to those in smaller batches and watch bounces. | | **website** | The site's service pages tell you what they clean (medical, schools, industrial) and whether they mention certifications such as CIMS or green cleaning. That's how you segment beyond the Maps category. | | **hours** | Commercial cleaners often list 24 hours or evening hours. It's a quick signal for after-hours contract work, and a reminder that the office line is staffed in the day. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Small janitorial firms often run from a home office and serve a metro. Use the area columns to keep firms that can actually staff buildings in your territory. | | **phone** | The listed number usually reaches the owner or office during business hours. Call it by hand and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **linkedin** | Larger contractors keep a LinkedIn company page. It's the fastest way to find the operations or business development person behind the generic inbox. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** janitorial service, commercial cleaning service, office cleaning service, commercial janitorial company, building maintenance service, custodial service, medical office cleaning, healthcare cleaning service, school cleaning service, church cleaning service, bank cleaning service, industrial cleaning service, warehouse cleaning service, retail store cleaning, gym cleaning service, restaurant cleaning service, post construction cleaning, construction cleanup service, floor care service, floor stripping and waxing, commercial carpet cleaning, commercial window cleaning, day porter service, disinfection service, facility services company. **Google Maps categories:** Janitorial service, Commercial cleaning service, Window cleaning service, Pressure washing service, Carpet cleaning service. Leadraft includes these in its [Commercial services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#commercial-services) (57 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to janitorial companies, and what works - **Janitorial supply distributors.** Chemicals, paper, can liners, microfiber, floor machines and parts. Contractors reorder consumables every month, so lead with delivery days, price on their top five items and a rep who answers. - **Equipment makers and dealers.** Auto scrubbers, burnishers, backpack vacuums and carpet extractors. Floor care firms and contractors with big-box or warehouse accounts are the targets; offer a demo at one of their buildings. - **Janitorial software.** Scheduling, inspections, time clocks with GPS and client portals. Owners want proof of service they can show a property manager, and fewer disputes about missed cleans. - **Insurance, bonding and payroll providers.** Contracts require general liability, workers' comp and janitorial bonds, and most crews are part-time and hourly. A quick certificate-of-insurance turnaround or simpler payroll for split shifts is the hook. See [commercial insurance leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/commercial-insurance-leads). - **Facility managers and property managers.** Buyers putting a cleaning contract out to bid can list every janitorial company within reach of the building and invite quotes, instead of the three that show on the first page of search. - **Subcontracting and lead-gen firms.** Firms that win multi-site contracts and subcontract the cleaning need reliable local crews in each market. Search each metro, filter by category and reviews, and recruit subcontractors. ## How to segment and qualify a janitorial company list ### Commercial only, not residential Search janitorial and commercial terms, then drop rows whose only category is House cleaning service. For residential cleaners, use the [house cleaning services list](https://leadraft.co/leads/house-cleaning-services) instead; for all cleaning trades together, see [cleaning companies](https://leadraft.co/leads/cleaning-services). ### By vertical served Medical, school, industrial and post-construction cleaning each have their own terms. Search them separately and keep the search term on each row, so a medical-office pitch only goes to firms that clean medical offices. ### Franchise units vs independents Franchise units share a brand and often a website domain. Group by domain: pitch software and supplies to the franchisor, and local insurance or equipment to the unit owner. ### Size proxies Census data shows most firms are small, and Google Maps has no headcount. Use proxies: several emails with distinct roles, a LinkedIn page, more than one listed location, or a careers page on the site. ### Floor care and specialty crews Floor stripping, carpet extraction and window cleaning firms buy equipment more than supplies. Keep them as their own segment for equipment and parts offers. ### New contractors New janitorial companies need insurance, bonding, supplies and their first accounts. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your metro surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach janitorial companies ### Crews work nights, the office sells by day The cleaning happens after hours, but bids, payroll and purchasing are daytime work. Email so you land mid-morning and call between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Avoid Monday mornings, when owners fix weekend complaints. ### Talk in cost per building Janitorial margins are thin and labor is most of the cost. Frame offers as dollars per building per month, hours of labor saved or accounts won, not feature lists. ### Respect the bid calendar Many commercial contracts, especially schools and public buildings, renew on a fiscal year. Contractors are busiest with bids in spring and early summer, so a supply or software change pitch lands better before or after that rush. If you sell contracts to them, read [how to get commercial cleaning contracts](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-commercial-cleaning-contracts). ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Small firms often list the owner's cell phone, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find janitorial company leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Janitorial companies lead lists: questions How do I find janitorial company leads? Pick the area you sell into, then search Google Maps for every variant: janitorial service, commercial cleaning service, office cleaning service, custodial service, floor care service and the vertical terms such as medical office cleaning. Remove duplicates, drop residential-only rows by category, and find and check an email for each company. Leadraft does those steps in one search and charges each company once. How many janitorial companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 67,799 janitorial service establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 561720). That code includes residential maid services, so the commercial-only count is lower. Owner-operated firms with no payroll aren't counted at all, which is why Google Maps often shows more businesses than Census does. Can I get only commercial cleaners, without maid services? Yes. Search commercial and janitorial terms, then filter by the category column: Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so rows filed only as House cleaning service can be left out. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a janitorial company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has about 6,960 janitorial service establishments with employees (Census 2023, residential included). All of them fit in the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month), which includes 1,000 checked emails. If you want up to 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49 a month) covers it. The Free plan gives 500 businesses and 50 checked emails to test one city first. Do you include owner names or contract details? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people, and it doesn't know who holds which cleaning contract. You get the emails each company publishes on its own website, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 561720, Janitorial Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees; covers commercial janitorial and residential maid services together. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the janitorial companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Jewelry retail has a large independent side: family jewelers, bench jewelers who design and repair in-house, and bridal specialists sit alongside mall chains. The Census Bureau counted 19,897 jewelry stores with employees in 2023 (NAICS 448310). California (2,623), New York (1,947) and Florida (1,868) lead, then Texas (1,575), Illinois (714), Pennsylvania (713) and New Jersey (709). Sales peak in the fourth quarter and around Valentine's Day, and many independents build their business around engagement rings and custom work. Owners buy from designers, diamond dealers and manufacturers directly and at trade shows. ## How many jewelry stores are there in each state? California, New York and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 19,897 establishments in **Jewelry stores (NAICS 448310)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 2,623 | 13.2% | | 2 | New York | 1,947 | 9.8% | | 3 | Florida | 1,868 | 9.4% | | 4 | Texas | 1,575 | 7.9% | | 5 | Illinois | 714 | 3.6% | | 6 | Pennsylvania | 713 | 3.6% | | 7 | New Jersey | 709 | 3.6% | | 8 | Georgia | 631 | 3.2% | | 9 | Ohio | 556 | 2.8% | | 10 | Michigan | 545 | 2.7% | | 11 | Massachusetts | 543 | 2.7% | | 12 | North Carolina | 542 | 2.7% | | 13 | Virginia | 470 | 2.4% | | 14 | Arizona | 356 | 1.8% | | 15 | Washington | 354 | 1.8% | | 16 | Maryland | 335 | 1.7% | | 17 | Tennessee | 324 | 1.6% | | 18 | Colorado | 309 | 1.6% | | 19 | South Carolina | 291 | 1.5% | | 20 | Indiana | 282 | 1.4% | | 21 | Wisconsin | 272 | 1.4% | | 22 | Minnesota | 270 | 1.4% | | 23 | Louisiana | 260 | 1.3% | | 24 | Nevada | 255 | 1.3% | | 25 | Missouri | 252 | 1.3% | | 26 | Alabama | 236 | 1.2% | | 27 | Connecticut | 216 | 1.1% | | 28 | Oregon | 213 | 1.1% | | 29 | Hawaii | 212 | 1.1% | | 30 | Kentucky | 169 | 0.8% | | 31 | Iowa | 142 | 0.7% | | 32 | New Mexico | 141 | 0.7% | | 33 | Oklahoma | 138 | 0.7% | | 34 | Kansas | 136 | 0.7% | | 35 | Utah | 132 | 0.7% | | 36 | Arkansas | 118 | 0.6% | | 37 | New Hampshire | 118 | 0.6% | | 38 | Mississippi | 106 | 0.5% | | 39 | Idaho | 91 | 0.5% | | 40 | Delaware | 89 | 0.4% | | 41 | Nebraska | 84 | 0.4% | | 42 | Rhode Island | 82 | 0.4% | | 43 | Montana | 77 | 0.4% | | 44 | Alaska | 75 | 0.4% | | 45 | Maine | 70 | 0.4% | | 46 | West Virginia | 67 | 0.3% | | 47 | Vermont | 49 | 0.2% | | 48 | North Dakota | 40 | 0.2% | | 49 | South Dakota | 39 | 0.2% | | 50 | District of Columbia | 31 | 0.2% | | 51 | Wyoming | 30 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a jewelry store lead list Every row is one jewelry store business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for jewelry stores: | Field | Why it matters for jewelry stores | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates retail jewelers from designers, repair shops, watch stores and gold buyers. A bridal designer, a watch brand and a repair-tracking app each sell to a different slice. | | **email + grade** | Independent jewelers often publish the owner's address or an info@. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts anything, so it's a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger stores list separate addresses for repairs, appointments and custom design. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the owner or buyer. | | **website + website\_platform** | Many independents have a site with no online catalog or appointment booking. Ecommerce, virtual try-on and web vendors can sort by it directly; the platform column shows who's on Shopify or a template. | | **rating + reviews** | Jewelers live on trust. Reviews about custom work and engagement rings mark bridal-focused stores; a low rating is an opening for reputation and review tools. | | **instagram** | Jewelry sells on Instagram. Stores with active accounts are good targets for photography, influencer and paid social offers. Those with none are a gap you can name. | | **hours** | Appointment-only and by-appointment hours point to custom and high-end jewelers. Regular retail hours point to walk-in stores. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every jewelry store No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** jewelry store, jeweler, fine jewelry store, engagement ring store, bridal jewelry store, diamond store, diamond dealer, custom jewelry designer, jewelry designer, bench jeweler, jewelry repair, ring resizing, watch store, luxury watch dealer, watch repair, estate jewelry, gold buyer, cash for gold, silver jewelry store, gemstone store, pearl store, body jewelry store, wedding band store, jewelry appraiser. **Google Maps categories:** Jewelry store, Jeweler, Jewelry designer, Jewelry repair service, Diamond dealer, Watch store, Watch repair service, Gold dealer, Jewelry appraiser, Pawn shop. ## Who sells to jewelry stores, and what works - **Jewelry designers, manufacturers and diamond dealers.** Independents add lines through the year, not only at shows. Lead with memo or consignment terms, minimums and how your line sells in a comparable store. See [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product). - **Consumer financing and payment providers.** Engagement rings close faster with financing. Offer approval rates and merchant fees. Card processing pitches are covered in [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads). - **Insurance and security providers.** Jewelers need jewelers block insurance, safes, alarms and monitored cameras. Lead with coverage limits for stock in the store and in transit. - **Marketing agencies and photographers.** Bridal shoppers search "engagement rings near me" and browse Instagram. Show the owner where they rank and what nearby jewelers post, and plan around Q4 and Valentine's Day. - **Jewelry software and equipment.** Repair tracking, POS with inventory by item, CAD and 3D printing for custom work. Bench jewelers and designers are the target for CAD and casting equipment. ## How to segment and qualify a jewelry store list ### Bridal and engagement Search engagement ring store, bridal jewelry store and diamond store separately. Bridal-focused stores buy loose diamonds, mountings and financing, and run on appointments. ### Custom and bench jewelers Designers and bench jewelers make and repair in-house. They buy tools, metals, CAD and casting services, which suppliers of finished jewelry don't sell. ### Watches Watch stores and watch repair shops are their own segment for watch brands, parts suppliers and repair services. ### Gold buyers and pawn Cash-for-gold, estate jewelry and pawn shops buy from the public. They're a separate list for refiners and precious metal buyers, not for fashion jewelry brands. ### Independents vs chains Group by website domain and business name. Mall chains share a domain and buy centrally; single-store family jewelers decide in the store. ### New stores A new jeweler needs inventory, insurance, security and a website. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new jewelry listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach jewelry stores ### Time it to the jewelry calendar November to December and the weeks before Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are the busiest. Owners plan inventory for the holidays in late summer, so pitch new lines from July to September. ### The owner is often at the bench In small stores the owner may be designing or repairing, not on the floor. A short email with photos and terms gets read later; a call mid-morning on a weekday is your best chance to reach them. ### Lead with trust and terms Jewelers deal in high-value goods and protect their reputation. Say who you sell to nearby (without naming customers you don't have permission to name), how memo works, and how returns and certification are handled. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft records each store's name and website, so you can group by domain and drop the chains. Searching custom jewelry designer and bench jeweler terms also skews the list toward independents.

Junk removal is a young, fast-moving trade with a low barrier to entry: a truck, a trailer and a phone. Most companies are owner-operators or small crews; several national franchise brands sit beside them in most metros. The Census Bureau doesn't publish a separate count for junk removal, and many operators have no payroll at all, so Google Maps is the best place to see how many there are. The work is real volume: the EPA estimates that 12.1 million tons of furniture and furnishings and 5.3 million tons of major appliances entered municipal waste in 2018. Jobs come from homeowners, landlords and property managers between tenants, real estate agents before a listing, estate executors and contractors. Owners buy for the truck (trailers, dump fees, fuel) and for the phone (ads, reviews, booking). ## What's in a junk removal company lead list Every row is one junk removal company business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for junk removal companies: | Field | Why it matters for junk removal companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates junk haulers from dumpster rental, waste collection and demolition companies that show up in the same searches. Each buys different equipment and needs different software. | | **email + grade** | Junk removal companies often publish one booking address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **free\_provider** | Many owner-operators use a Gmail address. That plus no website is the clearest sign of a one-truck business, and the best target for web and booking offers. | | **website + contact\_form** | Customers want a quote from a photo. A site without online booking or a quote form, or no site at all, is the opening for web and booking-software vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Junk removal is chosen from the map, so review count is a fair proxy for call volume. Companies with few reviews next to franchise locations with hundreds are natural targets for review and SEO offers. | | **website (domain)** | Franchise locations share one brand domain. Group by domain to separate franchise units, which may buy through head office, from independents. | | **address + service\_area + in\_area** | Nearly all junk removal companies are service-area businesses. Use the area and distance columns to keep only companies that cover your territory. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every junk removal company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** junk removal, junk removal service, junk hauling, junk pickup, furniture removal, appliance removal, mattress removal, couch removal, hot tub removal, piano removal, yard waste removal, construction debris removal, demolition debris hauling, garage cleanout, basement cleanout, estate cleanout service, hoarder cleanout, foreclosure cleanout, property cleanout service, trash hauling service, dumpster rental, roll off dumpster rental, e-waste recycling, light demolition service. **Google Maps categories:** Junk removal service, Dumpster rental service, Garbage collection service, Rubbish collection service, Waste management service, Demolition contractor, Recycling center. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to junk removal companies, and what works - **Truck, trailer and dump body dealers.** Box trucks, dump trailers and hydraulic dump bodies. Lead with financing and a fast delivery date, because adding a truck is how these businesses grow. - **Home-service marketing and local SEO agencies.** "Junk removal near me" is a competitive, phone-driven search. Show the owner where they rank on the map and how many reviews the top three companies in their area have. - **Booking, quoting and field service software.** Photo quotes, online booking, route planning and payment on site. Pitch more jobs per truck per day and fewer phone calls to give a price. - **Donation centers, recyclers and transfer stations.** Haulers pay dump fees by the ton. A nearby place that takes furniture, metal, e-waste or mattresses at a lower rate saves them real money on every load. - **Real estate agents, property managers and estate attorneys.** People who need cleanouts on a deadline can list every hauler in the area and line up two or three reliable ones for move-outs, listings and estates. ## How to segment and qualify a junk removal company list ### Junk haulers vs dumpster rentals Run junk removal terms and dumpster rental terms as separate searches and use the category column to tag rows. Dumpster companies buy roll-off containers and trucks; haulers buy box trucks and trailers. ### Cleanout specialists Estate, hoarder and foreclosure cleanout companies work with agents, executors and banks. Search those terms and keep them as their own list. ### Franchise vs independent Group rows by website domain. One domain across many locations is a franchise system: pitch the franchisor for software and national deals, and the local owner for local marketing. ### One-truck operators Rows with a free email provider, no website or few reviews are usually owner-operators. Our guide on [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites) shows how to pitch them. ### Newly opened companies New junk removal businesses open constantly and need a website, insurance, a truck and a listing that ranks. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach junk removal companies ### Owners run jobs all day Most owners still lift on jobs. Send so your email lands early morning or evening, and keep it short enough to read on a phone between loads. ### Lead with jobs and dump fees Junk removal margins depend on jobs per truck and what each load costs to dump. Offers framed as more booked jobs, less drive time or lower fees per load land better than feature lists. ### Busy seasons Spring cleaning, summer moves and the end of the month (when leases turn over) are the busiest times. Late fall and winter are better for selling to owners. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Junk removal companies lead lists: questions How do I find junk removal leads? Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as junk removal, junk hauling, furniture removal, estate cleanout service and dumpster rental. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only companies inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each company's website and checks every one before you export. How many junk removal companies are there in the US? There is no official count. The Census Bureau doesn't publish a separate figure for junk removal, and many owner-operators have no payroll, so they don't appear in employer counts at all. The practical way to count the companies in your market is to search it on Google Maps with several junk removal terms and dedupe the results, which Leadraft does for you. Can I get a list of junk removal companies without dumpster rentals? Yes. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories. Keep rows whose category is Junk removal service and drop Dumpster rental service and Garbage collection service rows, or keep them as a second list. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a junk removal company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. As an example, if a statewide search returns 2,000 junk removal companies, the whole list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 2,500 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one metro first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each company publishes on its own website, often a booking address and sometimes a named owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US EPA: Durable Goods, Product-Specific Data (Facts and Figures about Materials, Waste and Recycling)](https://www.epa.gov/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-and-recycling/durable-goods-product-specific-data) · 2018 data: furniture and furnishings 12.1 million tons (80.1% landfilled), major appliances 5.3 million tons, carpets and rugs 3.4 million tons. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the junk removal companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Landscaping is one of the most fragmented trades in the country. The Census Bureau counted about 118,000 landscaping establishments with employees in 2023, and 85% had fewer than 10 staff (71% had fewer than 5). Those counts leave out the many one-person mowing outfits with no payroll, which do show up on Google Maps. Florida leads (about 10,700 establishments), followed by California (9,400), New York (7,700), Texas (5,600), Pennsylvania (5,200) and Illinois (5,000). Most firms are owner-operated: the owner quotes jobs, runs a crew and does the buying, usually from a phone in a truck. A smaller group of commercial maintenance companies holds HOA, office park and municipal contracts and buys more like a small business with an office manager. ## How many landscapers are there in each state? Florida, California and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 117,969 establishments in **Landscaping services (NAICS 561730)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Florida | 10,670 | 9.0% | | 2 | California | 9,393 | 8.0% | | 3 | New York | 7,725 | 6.5% | | 4 | Texas | 5,568 | 4.7% | | 5 | Pennsylvania | 5,179 | 4.4% | | 6 | Illinois | 5,034 | 4.3% | | 7 | New Jersey | 4,734 | 4.0% | | 8 | Massachusetts | 4,555 | 3.9% | | 9 | North Carolina | 4,361 | 3.7% | | 10 | Ohio | 4,228 | 3.6% | | 11 | Michigan | 3,797 | 3.2% | | 12 | Georgia | 3,242 | 2.7% | | 13 | Washington | 3,194 | 2.7% | | 14 | Virginia | 3,096 | 2.6% | | 15 | Wisconsin | 2,490 | 2.1% | | 16 | Indiana | 2,463 | 2.1% | | 17 | Colorado | 2,446 | 2.1% | | 18 | Minnesota | 2,397 | 2.0% | | 19 | Missouri | 2,199 | 1.9% | | 20 | Connecticut | 2,170 | 1.8% | | 21 | Maryland | 2,052 | 1.7% | | 22 | Tennessee | 1,991 | 1.7% | | 23 | South Carolina | 1,910 | 1.6% | | 24 | Oregon | 1,893 | 1.6% | | 25 | Arizona | 1,817 | 1.5% | | 26 | Utah | 1,471 | 1.2% | | 27 | Alabama | 1,359 | 1.2% | | 28 | Iowa | 1,242 | 1.1% | | 29 | Idaho | 1,166 | 1.0% | | 30 | Kentucky | 1,130 | 1.0% | | 31 | New Hampshire | 1,027 | 0.9% | | 32 | Oklahoma | 1,022 | 0.9% | | 33 | Kansas | 991 | 0.8% | | 34 | Louisiana | 979 | 0.8% | | 35 | Maine | 964 | 0.8% | | 36 | Nebraska | 939 | 0.8% | | 37 | Nevada | 834 | 0.7% | | 38 | Rhode Island | 794 | 0.7% | | 39 | Arkansas | 753 | 0.6% | | 40 | Montana | 694 | 0.6% | | 41 | Mississippi | 601 | 0.5% | | 42 | Vermont | 521 | 0.4% | | 43 | Delaware | 456 | 0.4% | | 44 | New Mexico | 405 | 0.3% | | 45 | West Virginia | 402 | 0.3% | | 46 | Hawaii | 378 | 0.3% | | 47 | South Dakota | 376 | 0.3% | | 48 | Wyoming | 339 | 0.3% | | 49 | North Dakota | 285 | 0.2% | | 50 | Alaska | 215 | 0.2% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 22 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a landscaper lead list Every row is one landscaper business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for landscapers: | Field | Why it matters for landscapers | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Small lawn care companies often use a free mailbox or a single office address. The grade tells you whether the address is a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts anything (**Accept-all**, a maybe), which matters for a trade where many sites are cheap builder templates. | | **category / categories** | Separates design-build landscapers, maintenance-only lawn services, tree services and irrigation contractors. Equipment dealers, nurseries and software vendors each want a different slice. | | **website + website\_platform** | A large share of landscapers have no website or a one-page site. That is the lead for web design and local SEO agencies, and the platform column shows who is on a builder you can migrate. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tells you whether a company is a solo mower or a crewed operation. Companies with dozens of recent reviews are busy and buying; few reviews and a low rating point to a reputation pitch. | | **phone** | Owners answer calls between jobs. The number is often the owner's mobile, so call by hand and never send marketing texts without consent (TCPA). | | **hours** | Shows which companies run Saturdays and which list seasonal hours. Useful for timing calls and spotting year-round operations that also do snow removal. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Many landscapers are service-area businesses run from a home or a yard. Distance from your point and the in-area flag let you keep only companies inside the county or suburbs you serve. | | **facebook / instagram** | Before-and-after photos sell landscaping, so design-build firms post on Instagram and Facebook. A missing or quiet profile is an opening for social media and content agencies. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every landscaper No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** landscaper, landscaping company, landscape contractor, landscape designer, landscape architect, lawn care service, lawn mowing service, lawn service, lawn maintenance, commercial landscaping service, yard maintenance, hardscaping contractor, paver installation, retaining wall contractor, sod installation, mulch delivery and installation, tree service, tree trimming service, stump grinding service, irrigation contractor, sprinkler repair, landscape lighting installer, artificial turf installer, xeriscaping, snow removal service, gardener. **Google Maps categories:** Landscaper, Landscape designer, Landscape architect, Lawn care service, Gardener, Tree service, Lawn sprinkler system contractor, Snow removal service, Paving contractor. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to landscapers, and what works - **Web design and local SEO agencies.** Point to the gap you can see: no website, no photos, or not showing for "landscaper near me" in their ZIP. Landscapers buy when you show them the jobs going to a competitor down the road. - **Field service and quoting software.** Scheduling, route planning, estimates and invoicing for crews. Pitch hours saved on quoting and fewer missed visits, and offer a demo outside the spring rush. - **Equipment dealers and suppliers.** Mower and outdoor power equipment dealers, nurseries, hardscape and irrigation suppliers. Segment by category (design-build vs maintenance) and reach out before the season starts, when fleets get replaced. - **Insurance, fleet and financing providers.** General liability, commercial auto, equipment financing and fuel cards. A concrete quote turnaround or a monthly saving per truck works better than a generic offer. - **Commercial property managers and HOAs buying services.** Property managers and HOAs putting maintenance out to bid can build a list of every commercial landscaper in the area and invite them to quote. Use the commercial landscaping and snow removal terms to find contractors who take that kind of work. - **Staffing and H-2B labor firms.** Landscapers struggle to staff crews for spring. Reach owners in late fall and winter, when they plan headcount for the next season. ## How to segment and qualify a landscaper list ### Design-build vs maintenance Use the category and search-term columns to separate design-build and hardscape firms (bigger tickets, office staff) from mow-and-blow maintenance companies (high volume, owner-run). They buy different software, equipment and marketing. ### Residential vs commercial Search "commercial landscaping service" separately and tag those rows. Commercial firms bid on contracts, run larger crews and are better targets for fleet, insurance and bid-management offers. ### Year-round operators Companies that also come up for "snow removal service" keep crews through winter. In the northern states they are the ones still answering the phone in January. ### No website or weak reviews Filter for no website, fewer than 20 reviews or a rating under 4.0. These are the best leads for marketing offers, and you can name the gap in your first line. ### Newly opened companies New lawn care companies appear every spring. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they show up on Google Maps, when they still need insurance, equipment and a website. ### By climate zone Florida, Texas, Arizona and southern California landscapers work all year. Draw separate areas for sun-belt and northern markets so your timing and pitch match the season each one is in. ## How to reach landscapers ### Respect the season From March to June most landscapers are flat out and won't read a sales email. Late fall and winter are planning months: that is when owners compare software, buy equipment and think about marketing for next year. In warm states the slow period is shorter and falls in midsummer heat. ### Crews are in the field from early morning Owners are on job sites from 7 a.m. and do email at night. Send so your message lands early evening, and call late afternoon or on a rainy day, when crews are rained out. ### Keep it short and visual Write like a text, not a brochure: one observation about their business, one offer, one question. A screenshot of their Google listing next to a competitor's often does more than a paragraph. ### Owner phones and the TCPA The listed number is often the owner's cell phone. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Email is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and a working opt-out.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Landscapers lead lists: questions How many landscaping companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 117,969 landscaping services establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 561730), employing about 803,000 people. That excludes owner-only businesses with no payroll, which are common in lawn care, so a Google Maps search usually finds more companies than the Census count. Can I get a landscaper email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only companies inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), which matters for service-area businesses that list a home address. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a landscaper email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has about 5,600 landscaping establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,500 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. When is the best time to email landscaping companies? Late fall through winter, when owners plan the next season and have time to read. Avoid the spring rush from March to June. Send so emails arrive in the early evening, after crews come off the job. Does the list include lawn care and tree services? Yes, if you include those terms. Landscaping on Google Maps is spread across categories such as Landscaper, Lawn care service, Gardener and Tree service, so search several terms. Leadraft dedupes companies that show up under more than one, and you pay for each company once. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 561730, Landscaping Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Grounds Maintenance Workers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/building-and-grounds-cleaning/grounds-maintenance-workers.htm) · 1,299,200 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the landscapers in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The US legal market is mostly small offices. The Census Bureau counts about 165,000 law offices with paid employees, and that excludes the many solo attorneys with no staff, who still keep a listing on Google Maps. The ABA counts about 1.37 million active lawyers. Most firms are run by their partners, so the person who answers a vendor email is often the managing partner, an office manager or a legal administrator. They buy on referrals, bar association recommendations and trust: software that touches client files or trust accounting gets a long look before anyone signs. Practice area decides almost everything about a firm's marketing budget. A personal injury firm may spend heavily on ads and intake; an estate planning solo may spend almost nothing. ## How many law firms are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 165,491 establishments in **Offices of lawyers (NAICS 541110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

If a firm has no published email, the form URL is your fallback, and a firm that relies only on a form is a good prospect for intake and chat vendors. | | **website and website\_platform** | Firms on dated sites or simple site builders are the natural audience for legal web design and SEO. The platform column shows what the site is built on where it can be detected. | | **rating and reviews** | A personal injury firm with 1,500 reviews and one with 12 reviews need different pitches. Review count is a fair proxy for marketing maturity; a low rating points to reputation work. | | **phone and hours** | Intake lines and 24/7 hours mark firms that compete on speed to lead (PI, criminal defense). Those firms care about answering services, call tracking and after-hours intake. | | **address, city, state, postal\_code, in\_area** | Lawyers are licensed by state, and many vendors (court reporters, process servers, local SEO) only work in certain counties. The area fence keeps out firms just across a state line. | | **linkedin, facebook, youtube** | LinkedIn matters more for business and employment firms; YouTube and Facebook matter more for consumer firms that advertise. Social links help you see which kind of firm you have before you write. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every law firm No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** law firm, attorney, lawyer, personal injury attorney, car accident lawyer, family law attorney, divorce lawyer, criminal defense attorney, dui lawyer, estate planning attorney, probate attorney, elder law attorney, immigration attorney, bankruptcy attorney, employment attorney, workers compensation attorney, real estate attorney, business attorney, tax attorney, patent attorney, intellectual property attorney, social security disability lawyer, medical malpractice attorney, trial attorney, legal services. **Google Maps categories:** Law firm, Attorney, Lawyer, Legal services, Personal injury attorney, Family law attorney, Divorce lawyer, Criminal justice attorney, DUI attorney, Estate planning attorney, Bankruptcy attorney, Immigration attorney, Employment attorney, Real estate attorney, Tax attorney, Patent attorney, Trial attorney. Leadraft includes these in its [Legal & financial keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#legal-financial) (68 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to law firms, and what works - **Legal marketing, SEO and web design agencies.** Practice-area SEO is competitive and local. Lead with one specific gap: the firm ranks for its name but not for "\[practice area\] lawyer \[city\]", or its site has no practice-area pages. - **Legal software (practice management, billing, e-signature, intake).** Segment by practice area and size. A three-attorney family law firm and a 40-person litigation firm buy differently. Talk about time saved and security, and expect questions about where client data is stored. - **Answering services, virtual receptionists and intake vendors.** Target consumer practice areas (PI, criminal defense, family, immigration) where a missed call is a lost client. A firm that only lists a contact form, or closes at 5 pm, is the opening line. - **Court reporters, process servers, investigators and expert witnesses.** Local and practice-area specific. Litigation-heavy categories (personal injury, trial, employment) in your counties are the whole market. Short, factual emails with turnaround times and coverage areas work. - **Litigation funding, legal staffing and outsourced paralegal services.** Contingency-fee practices (PI, workers' comp, mass torts) are the fit. Lead with cash flow or capacity, not features. ## How to segment and qualify a law firm list ### By practice area Run one search line per practice area ("personal injury attorney", "estate planning attorney") and keep the category column. Then filter the leads table by category to build a separate list and message for each. ### Consumer vs business law Consumer firms (PI, family, criminal, immigration, bankruptcy) advertise, run intake teams and answer phones late. Business firms (corporate, IP, tax, employment defense) sell on reputation and referrals. Split the list on category before you write a single email. ### By review count as a size proxy We don't have headcount, but review count tracks how much a consumer firm invests in getting clients. Under 20 reviews often means a solo or a new firm; several hundred usually means a marketing budget. ### Firms with weak or missing websites Filter for rows with no website, or sort by platform. A law firm with no site, or a one-page site, is the easiest web design and SEO pitch in the trade. ### Low ratings in competitive categories A PI or criminal defense firm under 4.0 stars in a crowded city is losing calls to the firm next door. That's the reputation-management list. ### New firms opening Attorneys leave big firms to start their own all the time, and new offices need everything at once: website, phones, software, insurance. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends you only the newly listed firms. ## How to reach law firms ### Attorney advertising rules aren't your problem, but CAN-SPAM is Rules like ABA Model Rule 7.3 limit how lawyers solicit clients. They don't govern a vendor emailing a law firm. Your emails are commercial B2B messages, so CAN-SPAM applies in the US: a truthful subject line, a real postal address and a working opt-out you honor. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) for the detail, and get legal advice for your own program. ### Write to the person who runs the business side In small firms that's the managing partner; in mid-size firms it's an office manager, legal administrator or marketing director. If the only address is intake@, keep the email short and ask who handles vendors. Intake staff forward real messages and delete long ones. ### Respect the calendar Litigators are in court in the morning and catch up on email at night. Avoid the last two weeks of December and month-end billing days. Tuesday to Thursday works best for most practices. ### Lead with security and specifics Lawyers are trained skeptics. One concrete, checkable observation about their firm ("your Spanish-language intake page has no form") beats any claim. If you sell software, say where data lives and whether you'll sign a confidentiality agreement. ### Check conflicts of interest on your side If you serve one side of a market (say, insurance defense), pitching plaintiff firms in the same county can be awkward. Use categories and your do-not-contact list to keep the two apart. ## How to find law firm leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Law firms lead lists: questions How many law firms are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 165,000 offices of lawyers with paid employees (NAICS 541110), employing about 1.09 million people. That leaves out solo attorneys with no staff. The ABA counts about 1.37 million active lawyers in 2025. Google Maps lists both firms and many solo practices, so a Maps-based list for an area will usually include offices the Census count doesn't. Can I get a law firm email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include firms just outside it. You can also limit the search to one practice area, such as personal injury attorneys in Harris County, Texas. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the firm's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. Some firms' mail servers accept every address, so expect a share of Accept-all grades. How much does a law firm email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per firm, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a statewide search finds 6,000 law offices and you export 2,500 verified emails, that's 6,000 business credits and 2,500 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49. Run it again later and you aren't charged for the same firms twice. Can I filter law firms by practice area? Yes. Search with practice-area terms ("family law attorney", "immigration attorney") and use the category column, which comes from the firm's Google Maps listing. Firms with several practice areas often list several categories, which are kept in the categories column. Do I get the names of individual attorneys? Not as a separate field. You get the firm, its contact details, and up to 5 emails found on its website with the role of each address. Named attorney addresses often appear among those emails when the firm publishes them on bio pages. Is it legal to email law firms? In the US, B2B cold email is allowed under CAN-SPAM if you follow its rules: honest headers and subject lines, your postal address and a working opt-out. Google's Maps terms restrict scraping and reuse of Maps content, which is a contract question rather than a privacy one. Other countries have stricter rules.

Liquor retail is local and heavily regulated. The Census Bureau counted 36,433 beer, wine and liquor stores with employees in 2023 (NAICS 445310). California (4,408) and New York (3,403) lead, then Texas (2,389), Pennsylvania (1,810), New Jersey (1,793), Michigan (1,578) and Florida (1,575). State law shapes the market: some states sell spirits only through state-run or state-contracted stores, some cap the number of licenses, and some let grocery and convenience stores sell wine and beer, which changes how many stand-alone shops exist. Most shops are independent, owner-run, and choose their own range, POS and services. In most states brands reach stores through licensed distributors, so the store decides what to order but buys through a wholesaler. ## How many liquor stores are there in each state? California, New York and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 36,433 establishments in **Beer, wine, and liquor stores (NAICS 445310)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for liquor stores: | Field | Why it matters for liquor stores | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates full liquor stores from wine shops and craft beer stores. A natural wine importer, a craft brewery and a spirits brand each want a different subset. | | **email + grade** | Independent shops usually publish one address the owner or buyer reads. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts anything, so treat it as a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger stores list separate addresses for events and tastings, special orders and the wine or beer buyer. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the buyer. | | **website + website\_platform** | Shops with online ordering or delivery are a different account from shops with no site. Ecommerce, delivery and web vendors can sort on it directly. | | **rating + reviews** | A strong review count suggests steady traffic and a store that's worth a new placement. Reviews often mention selection, which hints at whether the store carries craft and specialty lines. | | **hours** | Hours vary by state and county law. They also show when the owner is likely on the floor and when a call will be welcome. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Distributor territories and state lines matter here. Fence the list to the counties or states where your product is registered and distributed. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every liquor store No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** liquor store, package store, wine store, wine shop, wine and spirits store, beer store, craft beer store, beer distributor, bottle shop, spirits store, discount liquor store, liquor outlet, wine bar and shop, sake store, whiskey store, beer wine and liquor, drive thru liquor store, party store, abc store, state liquor store. **Google Maps categories:** Liquor store, Wine store, Beer store, Beer distributor, Convenience store. ## Who sells to liquor stores, and what works - **Wine, beer and spirits brands.** Stores decide what to order even when they buy through a distributor. Lead with which distributor carries you, price at shelf and a tasting offer. Our guide on [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product) covers the pitch. - **Distributors and importers.** A new distributor rep can map every licensed shop in the territory and spot stores no rep is working. Lead with the portfolio gaps you fill for that store's category. - **POS, inventory and payment providers.** Liquor POS needs ID scanning, case and mixed-case pricing and large SKU counts. Show the owner the ID-check workflow and the monthly processing cost. See [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads). - **Delivery and ecommerce platforms.** Filter to stores with no online ordering. Show the owner what a nearby shop already offers, and explain how your platform handles age checks at delivery. - **Security, signage and fixtures.** Liquor stores carry high-value stock and cash. Cameras, locked cases and shelving for heavy bottles are steady needs; lead with shrink and insurance. ## How to segment and qualify a liquor store list ### Wine shops vs full liquor stores Search wine store and wine shop separately and keep them as their own segment. Wine-focused shops buy from small importers and run tastings; full liquor stores move volume spirits and beer. ### Craft beer stores Bottle shops and craft beer stores take local and seasonal releases. They are the first target for small breweries and craft beverage brands. ### By state Rules on who can sell what differ by state. Build one list per state so your offer, distributor and compliance notes match where the store is. ### Independents vs chains Group by website domain and business name. Regional chains share a domain and buy centrally; single-location owners decide in the store. ### Weak online presence Stores with no website or no online ordering are the target for delivery, ecommerce and web vendors. You can name the gap in the first line. ### New stores New licenses mean new stores that need a range, POS, fixtures and security. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new liquor listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach liquor stores ### Know the alcohol rules first Alcohol marketing and sales to retailers are regulated at federal and state level, including rules on how brands reach stores (often through a licensed distributor) and what a supplier may give a retailer. Check the rules for each state you sell in and get legal advice. This page isn't legal advice. ### Time it to the store's week Weekends and the days before holidays are busiest. Tuesday to Thursday mornings, after deliveries, are best for calls and visits. Avoid the weeks before Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. ### Offer a tasting Owners and buyers want to taste before they order, and in-store tastings help sell through. Where your state allows them, offer one in your first email. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Each business is charged once, ever. ## Liquor stores lead lists: questions How do I find liquor store leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the terms that cover the trade (liquor store, package store, wine shop, beer store, bottle shop), and Leadraft finds every matching store on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each store's website, checks them, and you export CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many liquor stores are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 36,433 beer, wine and liquor stores with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 445310). That doesn't include grocery and convenience stores that also sell alcohol, or stores with no employees. California (4,408) and New York (3,403) have the most. Can I get a list of wine shops only? Yes. Search wine store, wine shop and wine and spirits store, and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can keep Wine store rows and drop general liquor stores. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the store's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the store's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a liquor store email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per store, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 4,408 beer, wine and liquor stores with employees (Census 2023). A statewide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Can I email liquor stores to sell alcohol? Emailing a store about your product is ordinary B2B marketing under CAN-SPAM. Selling alcohol to the store is a separate question: most states require it to go through licensed distributors and limit what suppliers may offer retailers. Check the rules for your state and get legal advice. This isn't legal advice. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 445310, Beer, Wine, and Liquor Stores)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the liquor stores in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Locksmithing is a trade of very small, owner-run shops and mobile vans. The Census Bureau counted 3,961 locksmith establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 561622), and at least 90% had fewer than 10 staff. Many more locksmiths work alone with no payroll. California (477), Florida (466), New York (330) and Texas (322) lead by a wide margin, then Illinois (131), Georgia (121) and North Carolina (120).

These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 477 | 12.0% | | 2 | Florida | 466 | 11.8% | | 3 | New York | 330 | 8.3% | | 4 | Texas | 322 | 8.1% | | 5 | Illinois | 131 | 3.3% | | 6 | Georgia | 121 | 3.1% | | 7 | North Carolina | 120 | 3.0% | | 8 | Pennsylvania | 113 | 2.9% | | 9 | Virginia | 97 | 2.4% | | 10 | Colorado | 96 | 2.4% | | 11 | Washington | 93 | 2.3% | | 12 | Ohio | 92 | 2.3% | | 13 | New Jersey | 90 | 2.3% | | 14 | Arizona | 89 | 2.2% | | 15 | Massachusetts | 85 | 2.1% | | 16 | Maryland | 83 | 2.1% | | 17 | Tennessee | 81 | 2.0% | | 18 | Indiana | 77 | 1.9% | | 19 | Michigan | 74 | 1.9% | | 20 | Oregon | 66 | 1.7% | | 21 | Louisiana | 62 | 1.6% | | 22 | South Carolina | 61 | 1.5% | | 23 | Alabama | 58 | 1.5% | | 24 | Missouri | 55 | 1.4% | | 25 | Nevada | 55 | 1.4% | | 26 | Wisconsin | 50 | 1.3% | | 27 | Minnesota | 49 | 1.2% | | 28 | Connecticut | 41 | 1.0% | | 29 | Utah | 38 | 1.0% | | 30 | Oklahoma | 37 | 0.9% | | 31 | Arkansas | 31 | 0.8% | | 32 | Mississippi | 30 | 0.8% | | 33 | Iowa | 29 | 0.7% | | 34 | Kentucky | 29 | 0.7% | | 35 | New Mexico | 29 | 0.7% | | 36 | Nebraska | 25 | 0.6% | | 37 | Idaho | 21 | 0.5% | | 38 | Kansas | 21 | 0.5% | | 39 | Hawaii | 20 | 0.5% | | 40 | Maine | 18 | 0.5% | | 41 | Montana | 18 | 0.5% | | 42 | Rhode Island | 15 | 0.4% | | 43 | Alaska | 10 | 0.3% | | 44 | West Virginia | 10 | 0.3% | | 45 | New Hampshire | 9 | 0.2% | | 46 | North Dakota | 9 | 0.2% | | 47 | Delaware | 8 | 0.2% | | 48 | Wyoming | 6 | 0.2% | | 49 | South Dakota | 5 | 0.1% | | 50 | Vermont | 5 | 0.1% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 4 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a locksmith lead list Every row is one locksmith business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for locksmiths: | Field | Why it matters for locksmiths | | --- | --- | | **website** | The best quick check in this trade. A real shop's site names the business, its address and often a state license number. Rows with no site, or a generic site shared across many cities, need a second look before you count them. | | **address + service\_area** | Storefront locksmiths list a street address; mobile locksmiths show a service area. The difference matters if you sell shop hardware, signage or foot-traffic marketing. | | **email + grade** | Most locksmiths publish one address, often on a free provider. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so it's a maybe. | | **hours** | "Open 24 hours" marks emergency lockout services. Commercial and safe specialists usually keep business hours. | | **rating + reviews** | Genuine local shops tend to have steady reviews over years. Few reviews and no website is either a new business or a listing to double-check. | | **category / categories** | Locksmith plus Safe & vault shop or Security system supplier marks a firm doing commercial and security work, a different buyer from a lockout van. | | **phone** | Locksmiths live on the phone. The number usually rings the owner's mobile, so call by hand and follow the TCPA. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every locksmith No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** locksmith, emergency locksmith, 24 hour locksmith, mobile locksmith, residential locksmith, commercial locksmith, automotive locksmith, car locksmith, car key replacement, key fob programming, transponder key service, lockout service, house lockout service, rekey service, lock installation service, lock repair service, key duplication service, master key system, high security locks, access control installer, safe locksmith, safe opening service, door hardware service. **Google Maps categories:** Locksmith, Key duplication service, Safe & vault shop, Lock store, Security system supplier. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to locksmiths, and what works - **Lock, key and hardware distributors.** Key blanks, cylinders, door hardware, transponder and fob stock, key machines. Lead with same-day shipping and the brands the shop already installs. - **Automotive key programming tools.** Programmers, software subscriptions and fob inventory. Target rows that search or describe themselves as car or automotive locksmiths, and pitch the margin on one car key job. - **Access control and security manufacturers.** Commercial locksmiths are a natural dealer channel for electronic locks and access control. Recruit them as installers in markets where you have no dealer. - **Local marketing and web agencies.** Locksmith search is competitive and expensive. Show a legitimate local shop how it ranks against the listings around it, and what a site with its license number, address and real photos does for trust. - **Property managers and businesses.** Managers needing rekeys at turnover, master key systems or a commercial service contract can list every locksmith near their buildings and invite quotes. ## How to segment and qualify a locksmith list ### Storefront vs mobile Rows with a street address and business hours are shops; service-area rows with 24-hour hours are mobile emergency services. Sell shop hardware and retail to the first, van stock and dispatch tools to the second. ### Automotive specialists Search car key replacement, key fob programming and automotive locksmith separately. These shops buy programming tools and fob inventory, not door hardware. ### Commercial and access control Firms that mention master keys, access control or door hardware on their site do commercial work. They overlap with [security system companies](https://leadraft.co/leads/security-system-companies) and are the dealer channel for electronic locks. ### Check doubtful listings Drop rows with no website and no street address if your offer needs a real local shop, and group by website domain: one domain behind dozens of city listings is not a local business. ### New locksmiths A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new locksmith listings on Google Maps. New owners need tools, stock, insurance and a website at once. ## How to reach locksmiths ### Short emails, then a call Locksmiths work from the van and read email on a phone. Two or three lines with one specific point about their shop, then a call in the morning before jobs stack up. ### Lead with margin per job Owners price by the job. Tools, stock and marketing are easier to sell as extra jobs or higher margin per job than as features. ### Respect licensing In licensed states, mention that your product or program works with licensed locksmiths and ask for the license number if you are recruiting dealers. It signals you know the trade. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Most locksmith numbers are cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find locksmith leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Locksmiths lead lists: questions How do I find locksmith leads? Choose the area, then search Google Maps for every variant: locksmith, emergency locksmith, automotive locksmith, car key replacement, commercial locksmith, rekey service and safe locksmith. Remove duplicates, check the website and address on each row, and find and check an email for each business. Leadraft does those steps in one search and charges each business once. How many locksmiths are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 3,961 locksmith establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 561622). Solo locksmiths with no payroll aren't counted, so Google Maps shows more, along with some referral listings that aren't local shops. Why do some locksmith listings look fake? Locksmith is a category where some listings are run by referral services rather than a local shop. Check for a website that names the business, a street address or a state license number, and group rows by website domain to spot one operator behind many listings. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the business's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a locksmith email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has 466 locksmith establishments with employees (Census 2023), which fits in the Free plan's 500 businesses with 50 checked emails. The whole US count of 3,961 fits in Starter ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. Small locksmiths often publish an address that reaches the owner directly, and each email comes with its role and source. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 561622, Locksmiths)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states.

Marketing agencies are many small firms and a few big ones. The Census Bureau counted 15,512 advertising agency establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541810), led by California (about 2,460), New York (1,610), Florida (1,370), Texas (1,260) and Illinois (660). That code is only part of the picture: digital marketing, SEO, PR, media buying and web design shops are often filed under other codes, and thousands of one- and two-person agencies have no payroll at all. On Google Maps they all show up as marketing agencies, internet marketing services or website designers. The founder usually signs off on tools and vendors, and most agencies buy software that helps them deliver more client work with the same headcount. ## How many marketing agencies are there in each state? California, New York and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 15,512 establishments in **Advertising agencies (NAICS 541810)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for marketing agencies: | Field | Why it matters for marketing agencies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits full-service and ad agencies from SEO shops, web designers and PR firms. A white-label SEO vendor and a print broker want very different subsets. | | **email + grade** | Agencies publish hello@, info@ or a founder's name. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. Agencies tend to run their own mail setups, so expect some of each. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Bigger agencies list new business, careers and press addresses. The role and the page it came from help you write to new business or the founder, not the jobs inbox. | | **website + website\_platform** | An agency's own site says a lot about its stack. The platform column shows who builds on WordPress, Webflow or a hosted builder, which matters if you sell plugins, hosting or white-label builds. | | **rating + reviews** | Agencies with many client reviews are established and usually hiring. Agencies with almost none are small or new, and often buy lead lists and outsourced fulfilment. | | **linkedin / instagram / youtube** | Agencies market on social. The links show who posts and where, and LinkedIn is where you check the founder and team size before you write. | | **address + in\_area** | Many agencies are remote or run from coworking spaces. The area columns keep the list to agencies that list an address or service area in your market. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** marketing agency, digital marketing agency, advertising agency, ad agency, seo agency, seo company, local seo services, ppc agency, google ads agency, social media marketing agency, social media agency, content marketing agency, email marketing agency, branding agency, creative agency, web design company, website designer, web development agency, public relations firm, pr agency, media buying agency, video production company, marketing consultant, internet marketing service, influencer marketing agency, lead generation agency. **Google Maps categories:** Marketing agency, Advertising agency, Internet marketing service, Website designer, Marketing consultant, Public relations firm, Graphic designer, Video production service. Leadraft includes these in its [Professional & B2B keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#professional-b2b) (66 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to marketing agencies, and what works - **White-label and fulfilment providers.** SEO, PPC, web builds, content and design delivered under the agency's brand. Pitch the founder on margin and turnaround: what the agency charges the client vs what you charge, and how fast you deliver. - **Marketing and agency software.** Reporting dashboards, client portals, social scheduling, proposal and invoicing tools. Agencies buy tools that save account manager hours. Lead with hours per client per month, not features. - **Lead generation and data tools.** Agencies need new clients all the time. Show them how to build a prospect list for a niche and city in minutes (see [how to get leads for a marketing agency](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-leads-for-marketing-agency)). - **Freelancers and contractors.** Designers, developers, copywriters and media buyers who want agency overflow work. A short note with two relevant samples and a day rate works better than a full portfolio. - **Printers, promotional products and video studios.** Agencies resell print, swag and video to their clients. Offer trade pricing, blind shipping and fast proofs. - **Agency brokers and acquirers.** Buyers looking for agencies to acquire in a metro. Filter to established agencies with strong review counts and reach the founder with a respectful, short note. ## How to segment and qualify a marketing agency list ### By service Run separate searches for SEO, PPC, social, web design and PR terms and tag each row by the term and category that found it. A white-label SEO offer goes to SEO and web design shops, not PR firms. ### Solo and small vs established Review count and website depth are good size proxies. Small agencies buy fulfilment and lead lists; larger ones buy software seats and hire freelancers. ### Niche agencies Many agencies serve one vertical: dental marketing, law firm SEO, restaurant social. Their names and sites say so. These are strong leads if your offer fits that vertical, and you can pair them with the matching list, like [dentists](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists) or [law firms](https://leadraft.co/leads/law-firms). ### Web designers Website designer is its own Google Maps category and often the largest group in a city. Keep it as a separate segment for hosting, plugin and white-label development offers. ### Newly opened agencies New agencies need everything: tools, a site, first clients, a fulfilment partner. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach marketing agencies ### Write to the founder, briefly In most agencies under 20 people the founder buys. They get a lot of cold email and know the patterns, so skip the flattery, name one specific thing about their agency, and make one clear offer. ### Avoid month-end and launch weeks Agencies are busiest at month-end reporting and around client launches. Mid-month, Tuesday to Thursday, is when founders have time to read. ### Show the margin Agencies think in retainer margin and billable hours. "You bill $1,500 for this, we deliver it for $600 in five days" lands better than a list of features. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed agency numbers are founders' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find marketing agency leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Marketing agencies lead lists: questions How do I find marketing agency leads? Pick the city, county or ZIP code you sell into, search the agency terms that match your offer (marketing agency, seo agency, website designer, advertising agency, public relations firm) and let Leadraft collect every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It then finds up to 5 emails on each agency's own website and checks every mailbox, so you export only Verified and Accept-all emails. How many marketing agencies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 15,512 advertising agency establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541810). That undercounts the market you'll see on Google Maps: digital, SEO, PR and web design shops are often filed under other codes, and many agencies are one-person businesses with no payroll. Can I get a list of only SEO agencies or web designers? Yes. Search only the terms for that service (seo agency, local seo services, website designer, web design company) and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can keep a Website designer list separate from Advertising agency rows. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the agency's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the agency's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a marketing agency email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per agency, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has about 2,460 advertising agencies with employees (Census 2023), and Google Maps will show more once you add digital, SEO and web design terms. A list of 5,000 agencies fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include the agency owner's name? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each agency publishes on its own website, often a hello@ or new business address and sometimes the founder's own, with the role and the page it was found on. The LinkedIn column links to the agency's page when it has one. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 541810, Advertising Agencies)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the marketing agencies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau's 2017 NAICS index puts martial arts and karate instruction, camps and schools under NAICS 611620, sports and recreation instruction, which also covers swim schools, golf instruction and other sports coaching. That code had 20,916 establishments with paid employees in 2023, about three in four with fewer than 10 staff, led by California (2,872), Texas (1,780), Florida (1,759) and New York (1,378). Martial arts schools are a share of that count. Most are owner-instructor businesses: the head instructor owns the school, teaches most classes and makes every buying decision. Revenue comes from monthly memberships, belt testing fees, gear sales, summer camps and after-school programs, and kids' classes are often the biggest part of the business. Some schools belong to an association or franchise, many are fully independent. ## What's in a martial arts school lead list Every row is one martial arts school business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for martial arts schools: | Field | Why it matters for martial arts schools | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits karate and taekwondo dojos (often kids-heavy) from BJJ academies and MMA and boxing gyms (often adult-heavy). Gear suppliers, kids' program software and fight-gym insurers each want a different slice. | | **email + grade** | Schools usually publish one address that the owner reads. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe. Small schools often use a Gmail address, which the free\_provider column flags. | | **website + website\_platform** | Schools sell trial classes and memberships online. A school without a site, or without a trial-class signup form, is a lead for web and lead-capture vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tracks student volume, and kids' schools collect many reviews from parents. Schools with hundreds of reviews are established; few reviews means a new or small school. | | **hours** | Most schools teach after school and evenings, with kids' classes from about 3:30 p.m. and adults later. Morning hours often mean a full-time school with homeschool or adult day classes. | | **facebook / instagram / youtube** | Schools post belt tests, tournaments and technique videos. Active accounts point to schools that already market; empty ones are openings for social media agencies. | | **phone** | The listed number usually reaches the owner or front desk. Call during the day before classes start, and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every martial arts school No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** martial arts school, martial arts, karate, karate school, taekwondo, brazilian jiu jitsu, bjj gym, jiu jitsu, mma gym, kickboxing, muay thai, boxing gym, judo, kung fu, krav maga, self defense classes, aikido, kids martial arts, kids karate, after school martial arts, wrestling club, capoeira, hapkido, tai chi. **Google Maps categories:** Martial arts school, Karate school, Taekwondo school, Judo school, Kung fu school, Aikido school, Kickboxing school, Boxing gym, Self defense school, Gym. Leadraft includes these in its [Fitness keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#fitness) (60 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to martial arts schools, and what works - **Martial arts gear and uniform suppliers.** Uniforms, belts, sparring gear, mats and heavy bags. Schools buy gear for every new student and resell it. Lead with wholesale pricing and quick delivery before belt tests. - **Membership and billing software.** Recurring billing, attendance, belt progression tracking and parent communication. Owners want failed payments and cancellations handled without awkward conversations. - **Marketing and lead-gen agencies.** Show the school how it ranks for "karate near me" or "kids martial arts" in its area, and how its trial-class offer compares with the nearest competitors. - **Matting and flooring installers.** Puzzle mats, roll-out mats and sprung floors for new schools and expansions. Target newly opened schools and fast-growing ones with many reviews. - **Insurance providers.** Schools need general liability and student accident cover; contact sports and sparring raise the stakes. A quote built for martial arts schools gets attention. See [commercial insurance leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/commercial-insurance-leads). - **After-school programs, camps and parent services.** Many schools run after-school pickup and summer camps. Offer van leasing, camp registration tools or co-marketing with local schools. ## How to segment and qualify a martial arts school list ### Kids programs vs adult gyms Search kids terms (kids karate, after school martial arts) separately from BJJ, MMA and boxing terms. Kids-focused schools buy parent communication and camp tools; adult gyms buy sparring gear and open-mat scheduling. ### By discipline Run one search per art: karate, taekwondo, BJJ, MMA, judo, kung fu, Krav Maga. Use the category column to tag each row. Gear and uniforms differ by style, so suppliers should segment this way. ### Franchise and association schools Group by website domain. Many rows on one domain is a franchise or association that may buy centrally. Independents decide at the school. ### Weak online presence Filter for schools with no website or under 30 reviews. They rely on word of mouth and respond to concrete marketing offers. See [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites). ### Newly opened schools A new school needs mats, gear, software, insurance and a website at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach martial arts schools ### Reach the owner before classes Most owners teach every afternoon and evening. Email so it lands mid-morning, and call between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Avoid tournament weekends. ### Time it around enrollment Schools enroll most new students in January, at back-to-school in August and September, and before summer camp. Pitch growth offers a few weeks before those windows. ### Use the school's language Owners call themselves sensei, coach, master or professor depending on the art. Mention their discipline and something specific, like a belt test or a kids' program, rather than a generic fitness pitch. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find martial arts school leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Martial arts schools lead lists: questions How do I find martial arts school leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search terms such as martial arts school, karate, taekwondo, brazilian jiu jitsu, mma gym and kids martial arts, and Leadraft finds every matching school on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each school's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many martial arts schools are there in the US? There's no official count of martial arts schools alone. The Census Bureau files martial arts and karate instruction under NAICS 611620, sports and recreation instruction, which had 20,916 establishments with paid employees in 2023 along with swim schools, golf instruction and other sports coaching. Owner-only schools without payroll aren't counted. A Google Maps search of your area gives the best count for your market. How much does a martial arts school email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per school, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 1,780 establishments in the whole 611620 category, and martial arts schools are a share of that. So a statewide Texas list fits easily in the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). For more than 1,000 verified emails in a month, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city. Can I get only BJJ or MMA gyms? Yes. Search those terms on their own (brazilian jiu jitsu, bjj gym, mma gym, muay thai) and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can drop karate and taekwondo rows or keep them in a separate list. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the school's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the school's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include instructors' names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each school publishes on its own website, often the owner's address in a small school, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 state file (NAICS 611620, Sports and Recreation Instruction)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23st.zip) · Establishments and employees with paid employees, summed across states. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2017 NAICS Index File](https://www.census.gov/naics/2017NAICS/2017_NAICS_Index_File.xlsx) · Lists martial arts and karate instruction, camps or schools under 611620. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the martial arts schools in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Med spas are one of the fastest-growing categories in local healthcare. The American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) counted 10,488 in 2023, about 1,600 more than a year earlier, with average revenue near $1.4 million. There's no NAICS code for them, so Census counts don't separate them from day spas or physician offices; Google Maps is one of the few places you can see them all. Ownership is mixed: AmSpa reports that 67% of single-owner practices are owned by people who aren't physicians or surgeons, such as nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, aestheticians and entrepreneurs, working with a medical director. They spend on marketing, booking software, devices, injectables and financing, and they compete hard on reviews and Instagram. ## What's in a med spa lead list Every row is one med spa business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for med spas: | Field | Why it matters for med spas | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Med spas file under "Medical spa", "Skin care clinic", "Laser hair removal service" and more. Secondary categories show the service mix (weight loss, IV therapy, laser) and keep day spas and plain facial studios out when you don't want them. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Most sites publish a booking or front-desk inbox; owner-run spas often publish the owner's address too. Up to 5 emails with role and source let you pick the right one. Only Verified and Accept-all are exported. | | **instagram, tiktok, facebook** | Before-and-after content drives this trade. An active Instagram or TikTok marks a spa that already invests in marketing; a missing one is the opening for a social or content pitch. | | **rating and reviews** | Patients choose injectors on reviews. Review count is a fair proxy for patient volume, and a sub-4.5 rating in a crowded suburb is a reputation pitch. | | **website, website\_platform and contact\_form** | Booking flow matters. Sites that only offer a contact form instead of online booking are the audience for scheduling and consultation software. The platform column shows what the site runs on where it can be detected. | | **price\_level and hours** | Where Google shows a price level, it helps separate luxury practices from value injector studios. Evening and weekend hours mark spas that compete on convenience. | | **address, city, state, in\_area** | Who may perform which treatment, and who must supervise, is set by each state. State lets you match your offer and message to the rules that apply there. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every med spa No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** med spa, medical spa, medspa, aesthetics clinic, medical aesthetics, botox, botox clinic, injector, lip filler, dermal fillers, laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, chemical peel, hydrafacial, coolsculpting, body contouring, skin tightening, iv therapy, semaglutide weight loss clinic, medical weight loss, hormone replacement therapy clinic, anti aging clinic, tattoo removal. **Google Maps categories:** Medical spa, Skin care clinic, Laser hair removal service, Facial spa, Weight loss service, Day spa, Spa, Beauty salon, Tattoo removal service. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to med spas, and what works - **Aesthetics marketing and paid-social agencies.** Med spas buy patients, not impressions. Lead with something visible: their Instagram hasn't posted in two months, or a competitor down the road ranks above them for "botox \[city\]". - **Device and laser manufacturers and resellers.** Segment by service mix. A spa with injectables only is a candidate for its first laser or body-contouring device; one with laser hair removal is a candidate for an upgrade. Financing terms matter more than specs. - **Booking, membership and practice software.** Spas sell memberships and packages. Talk about rebooking, no-shows and membership billing. Sites with only a contact form are your best first list. - **Patient financing, payments and merchant services.** Average tickets are high. Short, factual offers about fees and approval rates (your own, documented) work better than broad claims. - **Medical director networks, compliance consultants and insurance.** Owners who aren't physicians need a medical director and need to get state rules right. Target new spas and those with non-physician ownership signals on their site. ## How to segment and qualify a med spa list ### By service mix Run separate search lines for injectables, laser, body contouring, weight loss and IV therapy, and keep the categories column. A weight-loss-heavy spa and a laser-heavy spa need different pitches. ### Med spas vs day spas Filter to "Medical spa", "Skin care clinic" and "Laser hair removal service" when you only want medical aesthetics. Day spas and massage-only businesses are a different buyer. ### Single-location vs chains Group rows by business name. Regional chains and franchises buy centrally; independents buy locally and faster. ### Social-active vs social-quiet Filter for rows with an Instagram or TikTok link and compare to those without. Quiet accounts in busy markets are the content-agency list. ### Newly opened spas About 1,600 med spas opened in 2023 by AmSpa's count. New ones need devices, software, insurance and marketing at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends only newly listed businesses. ## How to reach med spas ### Know who owns the decision In owner-run spas the owner, often a nurse injector, decides; in chains a marketing or operations lead does. Emails to the booking inbox should be short and ask who handles vendors. ### Mind health claims if you sell marketing Med spa ads are health advertising. The FTC requires health claims to be truthful and backed by competent and reliable scientific evidence, and drug and device claims carry FDA rules on top. Agencies pitching ad campaigns should show they understand this; promising results the spa can't legally advertise is a fast way to lose the deal. ### State rules and medical directors Each state sets who can inject, who must supervise, and who may own a medical practice. Don't pitch services that assume one state's rules everywhere. If your offer touches clinical work, say which states you support. ### Keep patients out of it You're emailing the business. Never ask for or send patient photos or patient information. If your product stores patient records or images, expect a HIPAA business associate agreement (BAA) request. CAN-SPAM applies to your emails: honest subject, postal address, working opt-out. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your program. ### Time it around the treatment calendar Spas get busy before summer and the holidays. Pitch growth offers in late winter and early fall, when owners plan promotions, not in the week before a holiday rush. ## How to find med spa leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Med spas lead lists: questions How many med spas are there in the US? The American Med Spa Association counted 10,488 medical spas in the US in 2023, up from 8,899 in 2022, in its 2024 Medical Spa State of the Industry report. There's no separate NAICS code for med spas, so Census counts don't break them out. Google Maps lists them under categories like "Medical spa" and "Skin care clinic". Can I get a med spa email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include spas just outside it. You can narrow it further by service, for example laser hair removal clinics in Dallas County, Texas. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the spa's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts every address, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. How much does a med spa email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per spa, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a search of California finds 2,000 med spas and aesthetics clinics and you export 1,200 verified emails, that's 2,000 business credits and 1,200 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49 (Starter covers the businesses but only 1,000 checked emails). Spas you already have are never charged again. Can I exclude day spas and massage studios? Yes. Each row keeps its Google Maps category and secondary categories, so you can filter to medical aesthetics categories only. Results that are off-trade for your search are shown but never charged or exported. Do I get the owner's or medical director's name? Not as a separate field. You get the business, its contact details and up to 5 emails from its website with the role of each address. Owner addresses often appear among them when the spa publishes one. ## Sources 1. 1.[American Med Spa Association, 2024 Medical Spa State of the Industry Executive Report recap](https://www.americanmedspa.org/blog/2024-medical-spa-state-of-the-industry-executive-report-recap) 2. 2.[FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/health-products-compliance-guidance) 3. 3.[HHS, Business Associates under HIPAA](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/business-associates/index.html) ## See the med spas in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Doctors' offices are the largest group in outpatient care. The Census Bureau counted 204,617 offices of physicians with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 621111, which leaves out psychiatrists' offices). California (29,615), Texas (21,500), Florida (19,994) and New York (12,412) lead, then Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia and Illinois. The market has two halves. Many practices are owned by hospitals, health systems or large medical groups, which usually buy software, supplies and services centrally. The rest are independent practices, from solo family doctors to multi-physician groups, where a practice administrator or office manager runs vendors and the physician-owners sign off on anything large. ## How many medical clinics are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 204,617 establishments in **Offices of physicians (except mental health specialists) (NAICS 621111)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 29,615 | 14.5% | | 2 | Texas | 21,500 | 10.5% | | 3 | Florida | 19,994 | 9.8% | | 4 | New York | 12,412 | 6.1% | | 5 | Pennsylvania | 7,854 | 3.8% | | 6 | New Jersey | 7,335 | 3.6% | | 7 | Georgia | 7,199 | 3.5% | | 8 | Illinois | 6,775 | 3.3% | | 9 | Michigan | 6,412 | 3.1% | | 10 | Ohio | 5,551 | 2.7% | | 11 | North Carolina | 5,102 | 2.5% | | 12 | Arizona | 5,008 | 2.4% | | 13 | Virginia | 4,759 | 2.3% | | 14 | Tennessee | 4,291 | 2.1% | | 15 | Maryland | 3,756 | 1.8% | | 16 | Indiana | 3,462 | 1.7% | | 17 | Wisconsin | 3,107 | 1.5% | | 18 | Colorado | 3,103 | 1.5% | | 19 | Missouri | 3,042 | 1.5% | | 20 | Louisiana | 2,994 | 1.5% | | 21 | Washington | 2,880 | 1.4% | | 22 | Kentucky | 2,710 | 1.3% | | 23 | Alabama | 2,665 | 1.3% | | 24 | Connecticut | 2,648 | 1.3% | | 25 | Massachusetts | 2,562 | 1.3% | | 26 | Nevada | 2,522 | 1.2% | | 27 | South Carolina | 2,464 | 1.2% | | 28 | Oklahoma | 2,400 | 1.2% | | 29 | Utah | 2,096 | 1.0% | | 30 | Oregon | 2,040 | 1.0% | | 31 | Arkansas | 1,889 | 0.9% | | 32 | Minnesota | 1,494 | 0.7% | | 33 | Kansas | 1,466 | 0.7% | | 34 | Mississippi | 1,459 | 0.7% | | 35 | Idaho | 1,131 | 0.6% | | 36 | Iowa | 1,033 | 0.5% | | 37 | West Virginia | 916 | 0.4% | | 38 | Hawaii | 887 | 0.4% | | 39 | New Mexico | 835 | 0.4% | | 40 | Nebraska | 785 | 0.4% | | 41 | New Hampshire | 650 | 0.3% | | 42 | Delaware | 572 | 0.3% | | 43 | Rhode Island | 510 | 0.2% | | 44 | Maine | 492 | 0.2% | | 45 | Montana | 453 | 0.2% | | 46 | Alaska | 434 | 0.2% | | 47 | Wyoming | 324 | 0.2% | | 48 | District of Columbia | 320 | 0.2% | | 49 | South Dakota | 313 | 0.2% | | 50 | Vermont | 230 | 0.1% | | 51 | North Dakota | 166 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a medical clinic lead list Every row is one medical clinic business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for medical clinics: | Field | Why it matters for medical clinics | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates primary care (Family practice physician, Internist, Pediatrician, General practitioner) from specialists. Billing services, EHR vendors and supply companies often sell to one and not the other. | | **website** | Health-system practices share the system's domain. Independent practices usually have their own. Grouping by domain is the fastest way to tell the two apart. | | **email + grade** | Practices publish an office or appointments address more often than a named contact. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger groups list separate addresses for billing, records, referrals and the practice manager. The role and source page help you reach the administrator rather than the patient inbox. | | **hours** | Evening and weekend hours mark practices competing on access. Lunch closures and half-day Fridays tell you when not to call. | | **rating + reviews** | A practice with a low rating or few reviews is the natural lead for reputation, patient communication and marketing offers. | | **phone** | Front desks answer all day. Call the office line by hand and ask for the practice manager, and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every medical clinic No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** medical clinic, doctor's office, primary care physician, primary care clinic, family doctor, family medicine, family practice physician, internal medicine, internist, general practitioner, pediatrician, pediatric clinic, women's health clinic, OB/GYN, concierge medicine, direct primary care, geriatric medicine, medical group, community health center, dermatologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, allergist, sports medicine clinic, weight loss clinic. **Google Maps categories:** Medical clinic, Doctor, Family practice physician, General practitioner, Internist, Pediatrician, Medical group, Women's health clinic, Obstetrician-gynecologist, Dermatologist, Cardiologist, Allergist. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to medical clinics, and what works - **Medical billing and revenue cycle firms.** Independent practices feel claim denials and staff turnover directly. Lead with a concrete number, such as days in accounts receivable or hours of billing work removed each week, and address the practice manager. - **EHR, scheduling and patient communication software.** Online booking, reminders, intake forms and two-way messaging. Pitch fewer no-shows and less phone time, and mention HIPAA safeguards and a business associate agreement up front. - **Medical supply and lab companies.** Exam room supplies, point-of-care testing, lab services and vaccine storage. Segment by specialty, because a pediatric practice and a cardiology group buy very different things. - **Healthcare marketing agencies.** Primary care is local. Show the practice how it appears for "family doctor near me" in its ZIP, with its rating and review count next to the three nearest practices. - **Healthcare staffing and credentialing services.** Medical assistants, nurses and front-desk staff turn over often, and new physicians need payer credentialing. Offer a time-to-fill or days-to-credential figure. ## How to segment and qualify a medical clinic list ### Primary care vs specialists Run separate searches for primary care terms and specialty terms, then tag each row by category. They have different volumes, payers and software needs, and one message rarely fits both. ### Independent vs health-system owned Group by website domain. A domain shared by dozens of practices belongs to a health system or large group that buys centrally, so pitch the system. A domain with one or two locations is an independent practice. ### Concierge and direct primary care Membership practices sell directly to patients and don't bill insurance the usual way. They buy marketing, membership software and patient communication tools, not claims services. Search those terms on their own. ### Extended hours Practices open evenings or Saturdays tend to be growth-minded. They're good targets for booking, staffing and patient-access tools. ### New practices A newly opened practice needs a website, software, supplies, credentialing and staff at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new clinic listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach medical clinics ### Write for the practice manager The published address is read by front-desk staff who screen for patient messages. Name the practice, give one specific observation, and ask who handles your topic. Practice managers decide on most routine vendors. ### Avoid clinic rush hours Mornings and the hour after lunch are the busiest. Late morning and mid-afternoon Tuesday to Thursday tend to work better for both email and calls. Check the hours column for lunch closures. ### HIPAA is about patient data, not your email Emailing a practice's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve patient information. If your product will handle patient data, the practice will ask how, and a business associate agreement usually comes up. Don't ask for or send patient details in outreach. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Medical clinics lead lists: questions How many medical clinics are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 204,617 offices of physicians with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 621111, excluding mental health specialists). Google Maps shows more listings than that, because a group practice can list each doctor and each location separately. How do I find medical clinic leads? Choose a city, county, ZIP or a shape you draw, then search primary care and specialty terms (family doctor, internist, pediatrician, medical clinic). Leadraft keeps only practices inside your area, finds emails on each practice's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Can I separate independent practices from hospital-owned ones? Yes, mostly. Group the list by website domain. Practices owned by a health system usually share its domain; independents have their own. Large groups that keep local brand names may still share a domain, which shows up the same way. Can I get a list of only primary care doctors? Yes. Search primary care terms and filter by category: Family practice physician, Internist, General practitioner and Pediatrician. Specialists are filed under their own categories, so you can drop them or keep them as a separate segment. How much does a medical clinic email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per practice, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 29,615 physician offices with employees (Census 2023), more than the 25,000 businesses in Starter. A California-wide list fits Growth ($49 a month for 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails). Texas, with 21,500 offices, fits Starter ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. Do you include doctors' names or personal emails? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each practice publishes on its own website, often an office or billing address and sometimes a named contact, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 621111, Offices of Physicians, except Mental Health Specialists)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Physicians and Surgeons](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/physicians-and-surgeons.htm) · 862,800 jobs in 2025, across all settings. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) 5. 5.[HHS: The HIPAA Privacy Rule](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/index.html) ## See the medical clinics in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counted 9,792 loan broker establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 522310, which is mostly mortgage brokers). That count is only part of what you see on Google Maps. Many loan officers work for a lender or bank branch, which Census files under other codes, and many brokers are one-person shops with no payroll. Google Maps lists all of them, often with a separate listing for each loan officer. The market is concentrated: California has about 2,430 broker establishments, then Florida (1,130), Texas (590), Arizona (450), Colorado (430) and New York (400). Most brokerages are small. The owner-broker buys marketing, software and lead sources personally, while lender branches often buy through a regional or head office. ## How many mortgage brokers are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 9,792 establishments in **Mortgage and nonmortgage loan brokers (NAICS 522310)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for mortgage brokers: | Field | Why it matters for mortgage brokers | | --- | --- | | **business + category** | Mortgage listings mix brokerages, lender branches and individual loan officers. The business name and category tell you whether a row is a company or a person's listing, which matters if you sell per office or per seat. | | **email + grade** | Brokers publish loan officer addresses more often than most trades, because borrowers need to reach them. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. Lender domains with many loan officers are often set to accept every address, so expect **Accept-all** grades there and send to them more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | A brokerage site may list the owner-broker, several loan officers and a processing inbox. The role and the page each email was found on help you reach the person who buys, not the inbox that handles document uploads. | | **website + website\_platform** | Many loan officers run on a lender-provided template page. A broker with no site of their own, or a template only, is a lead for mortgage web design and SEO. The platform column shows who is on which builder. | | **rating + reviews** | Mortgage reviews come from closed loans, so review count is a rough proxy for volume. A broker with 200 reviews is producing; one with 8 is new or not asking. Both are useful, for different offers. | | **phone + phone\_type** | Loan officers live on the phone and often list a mobile. The phone type column helps you spot cell numbers so you dial by hand and follow the TCPA. | | **linkedin + facebook** | Loan officers market on LinkedIn and Facebook to agents and past clients. An active profile signals a producer who spends on marketing. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every mortgage broker No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** mortgage broker, mortgage lender, mortgage company, home loan, home loan lender, loan officer, mortgage loan officer, mortgage banker, refinance mortgage, FHA loan lender, VA loan lender, USDA loan lender, jumbo loan lender, first time home buyer loans, reverse mortgage, reverse mortgage specialist, non qm lender, bank statement loan, DSCR loan lender, hard money lender, private money lender, commercial mortgage broker, construction loan lender, home equity loan, HELOC lender. **Google Maps categories:** Mortgage broker, Mortgage lender, Loan agency, Financial institution, Financial consultant. Leadraft includes these in its [Legal & financial keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#legal-financial) (68 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to mortgage brokers, and what works - **Mortgage marketing and lead-gen agencies.** Brokers need a steady flow of purchase and refinance borrowers. Open with something from the row: a template-only website, few reviews against nearby brokers, or no listing for "FHA loan lender" in their own city. - **Mortgage software and CRM vendors.** Point-of-sale apps, loan origination systems, pricing engines and borrower CRMs. Pitch the owner-broker on hours saved per file and fewer missed follow-ups with past clients when rates drop. - **Wholesale lenders and account executives.** Wholesale AEs recruit brokers to send loans their way. Draw your territory, filter to independent brokerages (not retail lender branches), and lead with turn times and niche products such as non-QM or DSCR. - **Real estate agents and title and escrow companies.** Referral partnerships run both ways. Title, escrow and appraisal management firms want brokers who close in their county, and agents want a lender who answers on weekends. - **Recruiters and branch builders.** Lenders hiring producing loan officers want a list of every broker in a metro. Review counts help you find producers. Keep the first note short and confidential in tone. - **Compliance, licensing and quality-control services.** Brokers carry state licensing, audits and advertising rules. Offer a concrete service, such as an annual licensing calendar or an ad review, with a fixed price. ## How to segment and qualify a mortgage broker list ### Brokerage vs lender branch Group rows by website domain. One domain across many rows is a lender or bank with branch listings, which usually buys centrally. Independent brokerages have their own domain and one or two listings. ### Loan type niches Run separate searches for reverse mortgage, VA loan, non-QM, DSCR, hard money and commercial mortgage terms. Specialists buy different lead sources and respond to offers that name their niche. ### Producers by review count Sort by reviews. Brokers with many recent reviews are closing loans and spending on growth. Brokers with a handful of reviews are new or not asking for them, which is a pitch for review software. ### Weak web presence Filter for no website, a template site or a missing Google rating. These are the best leads for websites, SEO and reputation offers. See [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites). ### Newly opened offices New brokerages and branches need software, marketing and lender relationships at the start. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends new mortgage listings as they appear on Google Maps. ### By state Mortgage licensing is state by state, so many vendors sell by state. Search one state or a group of counties at a time, and keep a separate list per license market. ## How to reach mortgage brokers ### Time it around the rate cycle and the month Brokers are busiest at month end, when loans are pushed to close. Email in the first three weeks of the month. When rates move sharply they are buried in refinance calls, so short emails work better than long ones. ### Reach the owner-broker, not the processor Processing and document inboxes are read by staff who don't buy. Use the email role and source columns to pick the owner or a named loan officer, and name one specific thing you saw on their listing. ### They know compliance, so be precise Mortgage brokers work under state licensing and federal advertising rules, and they will notice vague claims. Avoid rate quotes or borrower promises in your pitch. Say what your product does and what it costs. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many loan officer numbers are cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Mortgage brokers lead lists: questions How do I find mortgage broker leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the mortgage terms that matter to you (mortgage broker, mortgage lender, loan officer, reverse mortgage and so on), and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each business's own website, checks each mailbox, and lets you export CSV or XLSX or push the list to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many mortgage brokers are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 9,792 mortgage and nonmortgage loan broker establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 522310). That leaves out lender and bank branches, which Census counts elsewhere, and brokers with no employees. Google Maps usually shows many more mortgage listings than that, because individual loan officers often have their own listing. Can I get a mortgage broker email list for one state? Yes. Choose the state, a set of counties or ZIP codes, draw an area, set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only businesses inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), and anything outside is shown free and never exported. How much does a mortgage broker email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has about 2,430 loan broker establishments with employees (Census 2023), and Google Maps will show more once loan officer listings are included. Even 5,000 California mortgage listings fit the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49 a month, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Does the list separate brokers from lenders and banks? Each row carries its Google Maps categories (Mortgage broker, Mortgage lender, Loan agency) and its website domain. Filter by category, and group by domain to spot lenders with many branch listings, so you can keep a list of independent brokers only. Do you include NMLS numbers or loan officer names? No. Leadraft lists the business as it appears on Google Maps, plus the emails it publishes on its own website, each with its role and the page it was found on. Some of those are named loan officers.

Moving is a small-operator business with a long tail. The Census Bureau counted about 9,400 household and office moving establishments with employees in 2023, and 70% had fewer than 10 staff. Those counts leave out owner-operators with no payroll, and many of them still have a Google Maps listing. The largest concentrations are California (about 1,360 establishments), Florida (830), Texas (740) and New York (640). The market splits into local movers working one metro, interstate carriers and agents of the big van lines, and specialists (piano, commercial and office relocation, senior moves, labor-only crews). Owners buy trucks, insurance, software and marketing themselves, and demand is sharply seasonal: most residential moves happen between May and September. ## How many moving companies are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 9,436 establishments in **Used household and office goods moving (NAICS 484210)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 1,356 | 14.4% | | 2 | Florida | 832 | 8.8% | | 3 | Texas | 735 | 7.8% | | 4 | New York | 643 | 6.8% | | 5 | Illinois | 374 | 4.0% | | 6 | New Jersey | 352 | 3.7% | | 7 | North Carolina | 318 | 3.4% | | 8 | Virginia | 306 | 3.2% | | 9 | Washington | 296 | 3.1% | | 10 | Georgia | 293 | 3.1% | | 11 | Pennsylvania | 252 | 2.7% | | 12 | Massachusetts | 251 | 2.7% | | 13 | Colorado | 232 | 2.5% | | 14 | Ohio | 224 | 2.4% | | 15 | Arizona | 199 | 2.1% | | 16 | Maryland | 181 | 1.9% | | 17 | Missouri | 171 | 1.8% | | 18 | Michigan | 168 | 1.8% | | 19 | Tennessee | 157 | 1.7% | | 20 | Oregon | 151 | 1.6% | | 21 | Wisconsin | 140 | 1.5% | | 22 | Indiana | 130 | 1.4% | | 23 | South Carolina | 127 | 1.3% | | 24 | Minnesota | 120 | 1.3% | | 25 | Connecticut | 111 | 1.2% | | 26 | Alabama | 106 | 1.1% | | 27 | Utah | 85 | 0.9% | | 28 | Iowa | 80 | 0.8% | | 29 | Nevada | 80 | 0.8% | | 30 | Kansas | 79 | 0.8% | | 31 | Kentucky | 78 | 0.8% | | 32 | Idaho | 70 | 0.7% | | 33 | Oklahoma | 70 | 0.7% | | 34 | Louisiana | 65 | 0.7% | | 35 | Arkansas | 62 | 0.7% | | 36 | New Mexico | 60 | 0.6% | | 37 | Nebraska | 55 | 0.6% | | 38 | New Hampshire | 55 | 0.6% | | 39 | Hawaii | 44 | 0.5% | | 40 | Mississippi | 43 | 0.5% | | 41 | Maine | 41 | 0.4% | | 42 | Montana | 36 | 0.4% | | 43 | Rhode Island | 32 | 0.3% | | 44 | Alaska | 30 | 0.3% | | 45 | North Dakota | 30 | 0.3% | | 46 | South Dakota | 26 | 0.3% | | 47 | Wyoming | 24 | 0.3% | | 48 | Vermont | 22 | 0.2% | | 49 | West Virginia | 21 | 0.2% | | 50 | Delaware | 17 | 0.2% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 6 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a moving company lead list Every row is one moving company business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for moving companies: | Field | Why it matters for moving companies | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Movers usually publish one booking address (info@, quotes@, dispatch@). The grade tells you whether it's a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts everything (**Accept-all**, a maybe worth sending to carefully). | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger movers list separate addresses for sales, claims and dispatch. Role and source help you write to sales or the owner rather than the claims inbox. | | **category / categories** | Separates full-service movers from storage facilities, trucking companies and truck rental. Exclude self-storage and rental-only listings if you sell to crews. | | **rating + reviews** | Reviews drive moving bookings more than in almost any trade, because customers fear damage and hostage-load scams. Low ratings or few reviews mark the best leads for reputation and review software. | | **website** | Many small movers live on directory listings and a phone number. No website, or a site without an online quote form, is the opening for web design and lead-gen agencies. | | **contact\_form** | Shows whether the site already captures quote requests. A mover without a form loses leads after hours, which is a concrete pitch. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Movers often list a yard or office outside the city they serve. Use your area and scope settings to decide whether movers based nearby count. | | **phone** | Small movers run sales by phone. Call the office line, not a crew member's cell, and follow TCPA rules for calls and texts. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every moving company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** moving company, movers, local movers, long distance movers, interstate moving company, moving and storage, residential movers, commercial movers, office movers, office relocation service, piano movers, furniture movers, packing service, moving labor, loading and unloading help, senior move manager, apartment movers, junk removal and moving, storage facility with moving, art movers, safe movers, military movers. **Google Maps categories:** Moving company, Mover, Moving and storage service, Furniture moving, Piano moving service, Packing service, Storage facility, Trucking company. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to moving companies, and what works - **Marketing and lead-gen agencies.** Movers buy leads constantly and many distrust shared-lead brokers. Offer exclusive local SEO or Google Ads, and open with something visible: low review count against nearby competitors or no online quote form. - **Moving software (CRM, estimating, dispatch).** Pitch the owner on faster quotes and fewer double-bookings in peak season. Virtual surveys and online estimates are the features that get attention. - **Insurance brokers and fleet services.** Cargo, liability, workers' comp and commercial auto are big costs. Truck leasing, fuel cards and fleet maintenance sell to movers with a few trucks. - **Real estate and relocation partners.** Real estate agencies, property managers and corporate relocation firms want reliable mover referrals. Segment by rating and reviews and propose a referral arrangement. - **Packing supply and equipment distributors.** Boxes, pads, dollies and shrink wrap. Movers reorder often, so a price sheet and delivery terms beat a long pitch. ## How to segment and qualify a moving company list ### Local vs long distance Search terms like "long distance movers" and "interstate moving company" pull a different set from "local movers". Interstate movers need USDOT registration and buy different insurance and software. ### Residential vs commercial Office relocation and commercial movers sell to businesses and work weekends. Use the category columns and terms like "office movers" to split them out. ### Weak online presence Filter for movers with no website, under 4.0 stars or fewer than 30 reviews. These are the best leads for marketing and reputation offers. ### Specialists Piano, art, safe and senior movers charge more and buy differently. They are small lists, but your message can be very specific. ### Movers with storage Companies listed as both moving and storage have warehouse space and higher fixed costs. Good targets for warehouse software and insurance. ### New movers New moving companies appear every spring. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area catches new listings as they show up on Google Maps. ## How to reach moving companies ### Sell before the season, not during it From May to September, owners are on trucks and answering quote calls. Reach out from January to April, when they plan marketing and hiring for the summer. ### Mornings are for jobs Crews leave early and the owner is often on a job until mid-afternoon. Emails sent in the evening or early morning get read before the day starts. Calls work best late afternoon. ### Speak to their review anxiety Movers live and die on reviews. A first line that compares their review count with the two nearest competitors (both in the same list, with the distance column) gets attention. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Many small movers use a cell phone as the business line, so call by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. See our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find moving company leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Moving companies lead lists: questions How many moving companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau counted 9,436 used household and office goods moving establishments with paid employees in 2023 (County Business Patterns, NAICS 484210), employing about 102,700 people. That excludes one-person operators with no payroll, so the number of movers you find on Google Maps in a metro can be higher than the Census figure suggests. Can I get a moving company email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area, set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps movers inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), and you aren't charged for businesses outside it. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the mover's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a moving company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per mover, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida had about 830 moving establishments with employees in 2023 (Census). A Florida list of that size, with a verified email for most of them, fits the Starter plan ($19 a month: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). The Free plan (500 businesses, 50 checked emails a month) is enough to test one metro. Does the list include storage and truck rental companies? Only if you want them. Moving companies are filed under several Google Maps categories, and self-storage and truck rental listings show up in moving searches. Leadraft's on-topic filter drops businesses in the wrong trade, and you can filter by category in the leads table. Is a list of movers the same as moving leads? No. "Moving leads" usually means people who need a mover, sold to moving companies. A moving company email list is a list of the movers themselves, for businesses that sell to them: software, insurance, marketing, supplies. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 484210, Used Household and Office Goods Moving)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the moving companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Nail care is a high-volume, low-ticket, walk-in trade. The Census Bureau counts about 34,000 nail salons with paid staff, employing about 148,000 people, and nearly 296,000 nail businesses with no employees, most of them independent technicians working from a studio, a suite or a rented station. Many employer salons are owner-operated and family-run, with the owner working the front desk or a station all day. They buy supplies through distributors and beauty supply stores, run on simple booking or walk-in queues, and compete on price, cleanliness, reviews and Instagram. Decisions are made fast, in person and often by phone. Email works best as one step in a sequence that also includes a call or a visit. ## How many nail salons are there in each state? California, New York and New Jersey have the most. The Census Bureau counted 34,417 establishments in **Nail salons (NAICS 812113)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023.

These are the columns that matter most for nail salons: | Field | Why it matters for nail salons | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Most shops file under "Nail salon"; many add lashes, waxing or spa services as secondary categories. Use them to keep nail-only shops, full beauty salons and beauty supply stores apart. | | **phone** | The phone is how nail salons do business. Owners at the front desk answer it; they may not read a vendor email for days. For many rows it's the primary channel. | | **instagram, facebook, tiktok** | Nail art sells on Instagram and TikTok. Independent technicians often have only a social profile. A link tells you where the salon actually talks to clients. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Where a salon has a website, the email is usually a single shared or free-provider address. Up to 5 emails with role and source are kept when the site lists more. Only Verified and Accept-all are exported. | | **website and contact\_form** | Many nail salons rely on their Maps listing alone. No website is the clearest signal for web design, booking-site and online ordering offers. | | **rating, reviews and price\_level** | Reviews drive walk-ins. Salons with many reviews and a dip in rating are the reputation list; price level, where Google shows it, separates budget shops from premium nail bars. | | **address, hours, lat/lng, distance** | Distributors and field reps work routes. Coordinates and distance let you plan visits, and hours tell you when the salon is open and when it's quiet. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** nail salon, nail spa, nail bar, nail studio, nail technician, manicure, pedicure, gel manicure, gel x nails, acrylic nails, dip powder nails, nail art, russian manicure, builder gel, spa pedicure, kids nail salon, mobile nail technician, nail salon walk in, eyelash extensions, waxing salon. **Google Maps categories:** Nail salon, Beauty salon, Day spa, Eyelash salon, Waxing hair removal service, Beauty supply store. Leadraft includes these in its [Beauty & wellness keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#beauty-wellness) (50 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to nail salons, and what works - **Nail product brands, distributors and supply wholesalers.** Gel systems, polish lines, tools and disposables. Reorder convenience and price per service matter more than brand story. Pair email with a sample drop or a visit. - **Salon furniture and pedicure chair suppliers.** Pedicure chairs and ventilation are big purchases made at opening or remodel. Newly listed salons and older salons with complaints in reviews are the targets. - **Booking, POS and payment processors.** Walk-in heavy salons care about card fees, tips and fast checkout more than booking features. Keep the offer to one number and one benefit. - **Web design, Google profile and social media services.** Many salons have no site. Offer something concrete and cheap: a one-page site with prices and an online booking link, or a refreshed Google profile with photos. - **Insurance, ventilation and safety suppliers.** Nail salons work with chemicals and fumes, and state cosmetology boards inspect them. Lead with practical, inspection-ready improvements, not fear. ## How to segment and qualify a nail salon list ### No website vs website Filter for rows with no website. That's the web design and booking list. Rows with a website and email are the ones to put in an email sequence first. ### Salons vs independent technicians Independent techs in suites or home studios often have only an Instagram and a phone. They buy for themselves. Owner-run salons buy for a team of stations. ### Nail-only vs full beauty Salons that also list lashes, waxing or facials buy across more product lines. Use secondary categories to split them out. ### Review count and rating High review counts mean high volume and big supply orders. A busy salon with a falling rating is a fit for reputation and cleanliness-related offers. ### Route-ready territory lists Draw your territory as a polygon or radius, then sort by distance to plan visits by area. Field reps get more from a tight route than from a statewide email blast. ### Newly opened salons Openings need chairs, supplies, POS and signage at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends only newly listed salons. ## How to reach nail salons ### Lead with a call or a visit, back it with email Nail salon owners are on the floor all day and answer the phone. A short call at a quiet time (weekday mornings soon after opening are usually calmer than evenings and Saturdays) gets further than a cold sequence. Use email to send the details you promised on the call. ### Keep messages short and practical Owners respond to price, convenience and something they can see. Avoid jargon and long paragraphs. A photo, a price and a clear next step work best. Offering material in more than one language can help where your market calls for it. ### Know who makes the decision In family-run salons the owner decides, sometimes with a spouse or partner. Technicians renting stations decide only for themselves. Ask who orders supplies before pitching. ### Stay compliant Your emails are commercial messages, so CAN-SPAM applies: honest subject, postal address, working opt-out.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Nail salons lead lists: questions How many nail salons are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 34,000 nail salons with paid employees (NAICS 812113), employing about 148,000 people. Its 2023 Nonemployer Statistics adds nearly 296,000 nail businesses with no employees, mostly independent technicians. The BLS counts 201,800 manicurist and pedicurist jobs in 2025. Can I get a nail salon email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include salons just outside it. For field sales, drawing a radius around your warehouse or a route is often the most useful. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the salon's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts every address, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. Salons without a website won't have a site email, but you still get phone, address and social links. How much does a nail salon email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per salon, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a search of Los Angeles County finds 3,000 nail salons and you export 600 verified emails, that's 3,000 business credits and 600 checked-email credits, which fits in Starter at $19. Salons you already have are never charged again. Why do some nail salons have no email? Many nail salons don't run a website and take bookings by phone, walk-in or Instagram. Leadraft finds emails from each business's own website, so those rows come with phone, address, hours and social links instead. Filter by email grade for an email campaign, and use the rest for calls or visits. Can I exclude beauty supply stores and hair salons? Yes. Filter by category. Results that are off-trade for your search are shown but never charged or exported. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 812113)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Establishments with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2023 Nonemployer Statistics (US file, NAICS 812113)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/nonemployer-statistics/datasets/2023/historical-datasets/nonemp23us.zip) · Businesses with no paid employees. 3. 3.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Manicurists and Pedicurists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/personal-care-and-service/manicurists-and-pedicurists.htm) ## See the nail salons in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Nursing homes are regulated, staff-heavy and mostly owned by multi-facility operators. The Census Bureau counted 18,126 nursing care establishments with paid employees in 2023, led by California (1,955), Texas (1,546), Florida (1,052), Ohio (961), Illinois (793) and New York (731). CMS lists 14,686 nursing homes certified for Medicare or Medicaid in its provider file. Many facilities belong to regional chains or are run by management companies, and those buy centrally. Every facility has an administrator who runs the building and a director of nursing who runs clinical care, and both influence what gets bought. Staffing, survey results and Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement drive most decisions. ## How many nursing homes are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 18,126 establishments in **Nursing care facilities (skilled nursing facilities) (NAICS 623110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for nursing homes: | Field | Why it matters for nursing homes | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Nursing homes share Google Maps with assisted living, retirement communities and outpatient rehab clinics. Keep Nursing home rows, and check Rehabilitation center rows, which can be either a nursing home's rehab unit or an outpatient clinic. | | **website** | Operators run many facilities from one domain or one domain pattern. Grouping by domain shows you each chain and where its buildings are. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Facility sites publish addresses for admissions, the administrator, careers and activities. Admissions is often the best monitored; the administrator address reaches the person who buys. | | **email + grade** | **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, which is common on operator domains, so treat it as a maybe. | | **rating + reviews** | Google reviews from families are a public signal of service problems. They're separate from CMS star ratings, which you can look up on Care Compare and join on name and address. | | **phone** | The main line is staffed around the clock. Ask for the administrator or the director of nursing by title. | | **address + lat/lng** | Matching on address lets you join the list to CMS's public provider data, which adds bed counts, ownership and star ratings. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every nursing home No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** nursing home, skilled nursing facility, nursing and rehabilitation center, rehabilitation center, post acute care, short term rehab, long term care facility, convalescent home, care center, health and rehabilitation, memory care, dementia care, Alzheimer's care, subacute care, transitional care unit, respite care, hospice care, veterans home, continuing care retirement community, senior living, extended care facility. **Google Maps categories:** Nursing home, Rehabilitation center, Retirement home, Senior citizen center, Assisted living facility, Retirement community, Hospice, Elder care service. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to nursing homes, and what works - **Healthcare staffing agencies.** Nurses, CNAs and therapists are the constant gap. Lead with the roles you fill and how fast, and reach the director of nursing and the administrator. Our [staffing agency guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-clients-for-staffing-agency) covers the outreach. - **Medical supply and pharmacy services.** Incontinence supplies, wound care, durable equipment and long-term care pharmacy services. Lead with delivery reliability and survey-ready documentation. - **Rehab and ancillary service providers.** Contract therapy, mobile x-ray, lab, podiatry, dental and audiology services come to the building. Group by operator and pitch a service agreement across several facilities. - **Long-term care software vendors.** EHR, staff scheduling, infection control and family communication tools. Pitch the administrator on survey readiness and staff hours saved, and mention HIPAA safeguards up front. - **Facilities, food service and laundry contractors.** Kitchens, laundry, housekeeping and maintenance are often outsourced. Smaller independent facilities are the easier first accounts. - **Hospitals and referral sources.** Hospital case managers and home health agencies need every skilled nursing facility near them for discharge planning and partnerships. Draw a radius around the hospital. ## How to segment and qualify a nursing home list ### Skilled nursing vs assisted living Run nursing home and skilled nursing terms separately from assisted living terms and tag rows by category. Nursing homes are licensed and paid very differently from [assisted living facilities](https://leadraft.co/leads/assisted-living-facilities). ### Chains vs independents Group by website domain. A domain across many buildings is an operator or management company that buys centrally. A single-building domain is usually an independent or nonprofit home where the administrator decides. ### Post-acute rehab focus Facilities that call themselves health and rehabilitation or transitional care rely on short-stay Medicare patients from hospitals. They're the targets for therapy, referral and readmission tools. ### Memory care units Search memory care and dementia care terms. These units buy security, activity programs and specialized staff training. ### Low rating Filter to facilities with a Google rating under 3.5. They often have staffing or service problems that consultants, staffing firms and training providers can address directly. ## How to reach nursing homes ### Reach the administrator and director of nursing The administrator runs the budget and the director of nursing runs clinical care. Use the emails' role column to find them, or write to admissions and ask who handles your topic. ### Go to the operator for multi-facility deals If many rows share a domain, the operator's regional or corporate office decides for all of them. Write to them once with the number of their buildings in your territory. ### Mind inspections and staffing crunches Facilities are busiest during state inspections and staffing shortages. Mid-week, mid-morning is the best time to call. Keep the first message short and specific. ### Compliance notes Emailing a facility's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve resident health information. If your product touches resident data, expect HIPAA questions and a business associate agreement. The email itself falls under CAN-SPAM, and calls and texts under the TCPA.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied.

CMS lists 14,686 nursing homes certified for Medicare or Medicaid in its provider data (October 2026). The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 18,126 nursing care facility establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 623110), a wider group that includes facilities outside Medicare and Medicaid. How do I find nursing home leads? Pick a city, county, state or a shape you draw and search nursing home terms (nursing home, skilled nursing facility, nursing and rehabilitation center). Leadraft keeps only facilities inside your area, finds emails on each facility's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Can I combine the list with CMS data? Yes. CMS publishes nursing home provider information on data.cms.gov, with addresses, bed counts, ownership and star ratings, but no emails or websites. Export your Leadraft list as CSV or XLSX and match on name and address to add those columns. Can I separate nursing homes from assisted living? Yes. They're filed under different Google Maps categories (Nursing home vs Assisted living facility). Search each set of terms and filter by category. How much does a nursing home email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per facility, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 1,955 nursing care facilities with employees (Census 2023). A California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails to test one county first. Do you include administrator names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each facility publishes on its own website, sometimes including an administrator's address, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 623110, Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities))](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[CMS Provider Data Catalog: Nursing homes including rehab services, Provider Information](https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/dataset/4pq5-n9py) · 14,686 rows in the dataset updated October 2026. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[HHS: The HIPAA Privacy Rule](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/index.html) ## See the nursing homes in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Optometry is a small-practice business with a retail side. The Census Bureau counted 22,501 offices of optometrists with paid employees in 2023, led by California (2,757), Texas (2,113), Florida (1,541), New York (941), Ohio (877) and Illinois (868). The BLS counts 45,100 optometrist jobs. Many practices are owned by one or two optometrists who run both the exam lanes and an optical dispensary, so they buy clinical equipment, frames and lenses, and practice software. Others are optometrists leasing space next to optical chains and big-box vision centers, and a growing number belong to private-equity-backed groups. Ophthalmologists (medical doctors) and opticians (who fit glasses) are separate trades that show up in the same searches. ## How many optometrists are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 22,501 establishments in **Offices of optometrists (NAICS 621320)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023.

The role and source page help you reach the owner or office manager. | | **hours** | Many practices close one weekday or open Saturdays. That helps you time calls and spot practices built around working patients. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a rough measure of patient volume.

Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to optometrists, and what works - **Frame, lens and contact lens reps.** Independent practices choose their own frame lines and lens labs. Segment to practices with an optical and lead with margin, mix and reorder terms, not just the brand. - **Ophthalmic equipment dealers.** Retinal imaging, OCT, exam lanes and dry eye devices. Owners buy when adding a lane or a specialty service, so lead with the new revenue the device supports. - **Practice management and recall software.** Scheduling, recall, online booking and optical inventory. Pitch the office manager on fewer missed annual exams and less phone time, and mention HIPAA safeguards. - **Eye care marketing agencies.** Optometry is searched locally ("eye doctor near me"). Show the practice its rank and reviews next to the nearest three practices. - **Ophthalmology and surgery centers.** Cataract, LASIK and retina practices rely on optometrist referrals. Map every optometrist within your referral radius and introduce your co-management program. - **Billing and credentialing services.** Medical and vision plan billing is a constant headache. Offer a clear number on denied claims recovered or days to credential with a new vision plan. ## How to segment and qualify a optometrist list ### Independent vs retail-affiliated Group by website domain. Shared corporate domains belong to chains and big-box vision centers, where buying is central. Practices on their own domain are independents and decide locally. ### Practices with an optical Rows filed under both Optometrist and Optician, or that mention eyeglasses and frames, sell eyewear. Those are the accounts for frame, lens and optical inventory vendors. ### Specialty services Search dry eye, myopia control, vision therapy, specialty contact lenses and low vision separately. These practices buy specialized equipment and take referrals. ### Optometrists vs ophthalmologists Ophthalmologists are surgeons with different buyers and budgets. Use the category column to split them out, or keep them as their own list. ### New practices A cold-start practice needs equipment, frames, software and a website at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new optometry listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach optometrists ### Write to the owner-doctor or office manager In an independent practice, the office manager handles routine vendors and the owner signs off on equipment and frame lines. Keep the first email short, name the practice and one specific observation, and ask who decides. ### Respect the exam schedule Optometrists see patients back to back. Late afternoon calls and emails that arrive before the first appointment get more attention. Avoid back-to-school weeks, when pediatric exams peak. ### HIPAA is about patient data Emailing a practice's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve patient information. If your product will handle patient data, the practice will expect safeguards and usually a business associate agreement. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Optometrists lead lists: questions How many optometrists are there in the US? The BLS counts 45,100 optometrist jobs (2025). They work in about 22,500 offices of optometrists with paid employees, according to the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns for 2023 (NAICS 621320). Some optometrists work inside optical retailers or medical practices, which Census counts under other codes. How do I find optometrist leads? Pick a city, county, ZIP or a shape you draw and search eye care terms (optometrist, eye doctor, eye care center, vision center). Leadraft keeps only practices inside your area, finds emails on each practice's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Can I get only independent optometrists? Yes, mostly. Group the list by website domain and drop the shared corporate domains that chains and big-box vision centers use. What's left are practices on their own websites, which are almost always independents or small groups. Does the list include ophthalmologists and opticians? Only if you want them. They're filed under their own Google Maps categories (Ophthalmologist, Optician), so you can filter them out or keep them as separate segments. How much does an optometrist email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per practice, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 2,757 optometry offices with employees (Census 2023). A California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails to test a city first. Do you include the optometrist's personal email? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails the practice publishes on its own website, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 621320, Offices of Optometrists)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Optometrists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/optometrists.htm) · 45,100 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the optometrists in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Orthodontics is a specialty inside dentistry, and the public data reflects that. The Census Bureau doesn't count orthodontic offices on their own: they sit inside the 135,665 offices of dentists counted in 2023 (NAICS 621210). The ADA reports that 21.2% of professionally active dentists have a recognized specialty, and orthodontics is one of them. The BLS counts 6,400 salaried orthodontists, which leaves out the many who own their practice. Most orthodontic practices are owned by one or two orthodontists, often with several satellite offices on different days of the week. Orthodontic groups and dental service organizations are buying practices, and general dentists offering clear aligners compete for the same patients. Practices are referral-driven, treat many children and teens, and sell long treatment plans with monthly payments. ## What's in a orthodontist lead list Every row is one orthodontist business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for orthodontists: | Field | Why it matters for orthodontists | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates true orthodontic practices (Orthodontist) from general and cosmetic dentists that also offer Invisalign. A bracket supplier wants the first group; an aligner marketing agency may want both. | | **website** | Orthodontists often run one site for several offices. Grouping by domain shows each practice and its satellite locations, and separates independents from orthodontic groups and DSOs. | | **hours** | Satellite offices often open only one or two days a week. The hours column shows which location is the main office and which days the team is in. | | **email + grade** | Practices usually publish one office or new-patient address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger practices list addresses for the treatment coordinator, billing and the office manager. The role and source page help you reach the person who handles vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Orthodontic practices often have many reviews from families. A practice with few reviews next to busy competitors is a lead for marketing and review tools. | | **instagram / facebook / tiktok** | Practices that treat teens market heavily on social. An inactive account is an opening for social media agencies. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every orthodontist No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** orthodontist, orthodontics, orthodontic practice, orthodontic office, braces, braces for kids, adult braces, clear aligners, invisalign, invisalign provider, clear braces, lingual braces, ceramic braces, pediatric orthodontist, early orthodontic treatment, teen orthodontics, retainers, jaw alignment, dentofacial orthopedics, orthodontic group. **Google Maps categories:** Orthodontist, Dentist, Pediatric dentist, Cosmetic dentist, Dental clinic. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to orthodontists, and what works - **Orthodontic supply companies and labs.** Brackets, wires, aligners, retainers and appliances. Segment to Orthodontist rows, group by domain to count offices, and lead with pricing and lab turnaround. - **Orthodontic marketing agencies.** Patients and parents search "braces near me" and "invisalign". Show the practice how it ranks in its ZIP against general dentists offering aligners. - **Practice software and patient financing.** Treatment tracking, virtual consults, payment plans and patient communication. Pitch more case starts per consult and fewer missed payments, and mention HIPAA safeguards. - **Imaging and equipment dealers.** Intraoral scanners, 3D printers and CBCT. Lead with the in-house aligner and retainer work the equipment enables. - **Orthodontic groups, DSOs and practice brokers.** Groups looking for acquisitions want every independent orthodontist in a metro. Draw the metro, filter out group domains, and reach owners with a respectful, low-pressure note. ## How to segment and qualify a orthodontist list ### Orthodontists vs dentists offering aligners Keep Orthodontist rows for a specialist list. General and cosmetic [dentists](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists) that mention Invisalign are a separate, much larger segment that some vendors also want. ### Main office vs satellites Group by website domain, then use the hours and reviews columns to find each practice's main office. Write once per practice, not once per location. ### Independent vs group A domain across many offices in several cities is an orthodontic group or DSO that buys centrally. One to three offices on a domain is usually an owner-run practice. ### Pediatric focus Search pediatric orthodontist, braces for kids and early treatment terms. These practices work closely with pediatric dentists and market to parents. ### New practices A new orthodontic practice needs equipment, supplies, software and marketing before its first patient. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach orthodontists ### Write to the office manager or treatment coordinator The orthodontist-owner signs off on equipment and labs, and the office manager handles most other vendors. Keep the first email short, name the practice and one specific detail. ### Time around the school day Orthodontic offices are busiest after school and on school holidays, when teens come in. Late morning on weekdays is the best window for calls. Check the hours column, because satellite offices are closed most days. ### HIPAA is about patient data Emailing a practice's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve patient information. If your product will handle patient data, the practice will expect safeguards and usually a business associate agreement. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Each business is charged once, ever. ## Orthodontists lead lists: questions How many orthodontists are there in the US? There isn't a single official count of orthodontic practices. The Census Bureau counts them inside offices of dentists, 135,665 establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 621210). The BLS counts 6,400 salaried orthodontists (May 2023), which leaves out owners. The ADA reports that 21.2% of active dentists have a recognized specialty, orthodontics among them. A Google Maps search for the Orthodontist category in your area gives you the practical count. How do I find orthodontist leads? Pick a city, county, state or a shape you draw and search orthodontic terms (orthodontist, braces, clear aligners, pediatric orthodontist). Keep rows in the Orthodontist category and group by domain to collapse satellite offices. Leadraft finds emails on each practice's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Can I exclude general dentists who offer Invisalign? Yes. Filter the category column to Orthodontist. General and cosmetic dentists are filed under Dentist or Cosmetic dentist, so you can drop them or keep them as their own segment. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the practice's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the practice's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does an orthodontist email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per practice, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 22,757 offices of dentists with employees (Census 2023), and orthodontic practices are a fraction of those. Even a search that returned every California dental office would fit the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, 1,000 checked emails), and you're only charged for businesses inside your area and on topic. If you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. Do you include orthodontists' names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each practice publishes on its own website, often an office address and sometimes a named doctor, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 621210, Offices of Dentists)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025.

Painting is a trade of very small firms. The Census Bureau counted about 38,300 painting contractor establishments with employees in 2023; 89% had fewer than 10 staff and 75% had fewer than 5. The BLS counts many more painters (326,900 jobs in 2025) than the contractors employ, because a large share are self-employed or work in-house for builders and property owners. California has the most establishments (about 4,900), followed by Florida (4,400), New York (2,600), Washington (1,800), Illinois (1,500) and Texas (1,500). Residential repaint companies sell to homeowners and live on estimates and reviews; commercial painters bid through general contractors and property managers. In both cases the owner usually estimates, buys and runs the crew. ## How many painters are there in each state? California, Florida and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 38,280 establishments in **Painting and wall covering contractors (NAICS 238320)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for painters: | Field | Why it matters for painters | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Painters often list several categories (Painter, Drywall contractor, Pressure washing service). Use them to spot full-service firms and to drop paint and wallpaper stores, which sell supplies rather than do the work. | | **email + grade** | Most painters publish one address, often a free mailbox. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **website + website\_platform** | Many small painters have no website or a one-page builder site. That's the lead for web design, SEO and estimate-booking tools. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count separates a solo painter from a crewed company. A painter with 100+ reviews is busy and probably hiring; one with 5 reviews needs marketing. | | **phone** | Estimates get booked by phone and text. Numbers are often the owner's mobile, so call by hand and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **instagram / facebook** | Before-and-after photos win painting jobs. A painter who posts work regularly is marketing-minded; one with no profile is an opening for content and social agencies. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Most painters are service-area businesses run from home. Use the area and distance columns to keep only painters who work your territory. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every painter No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** painter, painting contractor, house painter, residential painter, interior painter, exterior painter, commercial painter, commercial painting contractor, industrial painting contractor, cabinet painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, fence staining, drywall contractor, drywall repair service, wallpaper installer, wallpaper removal, popcorn ceiling removal, epoxy flooring contractor, pressure washing service, lead paint abatement, faux finishing, mural artist. **Google Maps categories:** Painter, Painting, Drywall contractor, Pressure washing service. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to painters, and what works - **Paint manufacturers and stores (pro desks).** Contractor pricing, job-site delivery and pro accounts. Pitch the store's pro program to painters within delivery distance, using the distance column. - **Estimating and field service software.** Painters spend evenings writing estimates. Lead with estimates sent the same day and online deposits. - **Web, SEO and lead-gen agencies.** Point to the gap: no website, no photos, few reviews, or a competitor ranking first for "house painter near me" in their ZIP. - **General contractors and property managers.** GCs and property managers need reliable painting subs. List every commercial painter in your area and invite bids instead of calling the same three. - **Equipment and sprayer dealers.** Airless sprayers, lifts, scaffolding and PPE. Commercial and exterior painters are the buyers; reach them before the exterior season. - **Insurance and bonding.** General liability and workers' comp are required for commercial work and most HOA jobs. A fast certificate of insurance is the hook. ## How to segment and qualify a painter list ### Residential vs commercial Search commercial and industrial painting terms separately and tag those rows. Commercial painters bid through GCs, run bigger crews and buy equipment; residential painters buy marketing and estimate tools. ### Cabinet and specialty finishers Cabinet refinishing, epoxy flooring and deck staining are higher-ticket niches with their own suppliers. Search each term separately. ### Full-service vs paint-only Rows that also list Drywall contractor or Pressure washing service do more of the job. They are good targets for broader software and supply offers. ### No website or weak reviews Filter for no website, under 20 reviews or a rating under 4.0. Name the gap in your first line. ### Exterior season by climate Northern painters do exterior work from late spring to early fall and go interior in winter. Sun-belt painters work outside most of the year. Draw separate areas and time your outreach to each. ### Newly opened companies Painting has a low barrier to entry and new companies appear every season. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they show up on Google Maps. ## How to reach painters ### On the job by 7 a.m. Painters are on site early and write estimates at night. Send so your email lands in the evening; call around 3 to 5 p.m., when crews wrap up. ### Winter is buying season up north When exterior work stops, owners have time for marketing, software and planning. That's the best window for anything that needs a demo. ### Show, don't describe Painters respond to pictures: their listing next to a competitor's, a mock-up of a site with their photos, a sample estimate. Keep the text to three lines. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Painters lead lists: questions How many painting contractors are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 38,280 painting and wall covering contractor establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 238320). Self-employed painters with no payroll aren't in that count, and the BLS counts 326,900 painter jobs (2025), so Google Maps usually shows more painters than the Census figure. Can I get a painter email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only painters inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose). Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the painter's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a painting contractor email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has about 4,400 painting contractor establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Florida-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); for 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Can I exclude paint stores from the list? Yes. Paint and wallpaper stores come up for painting searches, but their Google Maps category is a store, not Painter or Painting. Filter by category to keep only contractors. Leadraft also drops off-topic businesses and doesn't charge for them. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each painter publishes on its own website, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 238320, Painting and Wall Covering Contractors)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Painters, Construction and Maintenance](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/painters-construction-and-maintenance.htm) · 326,900 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the painters in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Pest control is a small market by establishment count, with about 16,500 employer locations in 2023, but it's dense with recurring revenue: quarterly service plans, termite bonds and commercial contracts. It's also consolidating. National brands own many branch locations, and private-equity-backed groups keep buying independents, yet 74% of establishments still have fewer than 10 staff. The trade follows the climate: Florida has the most establishments (about 2,300), ahead of California (2,000), Texas (1,500), New York (800), Georgia (700) and North Carolina (600). Every company needs a state-licensed applicator, so independents tend to be owner-technicians who buy chemicals, trucks, software and marketing themselves. ## How many pest control companies are there in each state? Florida, California and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 16,535 establishments in **Exterminating and pest control services (NAICS 561710)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Florida | 2,301 | 13.9% | | 2 | California | 1,984 | 12.0% | | 3 | Texas | 1,498 | 9.1% | | 4 | New York | 788 | 4.8% | | 5 | Georgia | 723 | 4.4% | | 6 | North Carolina | 573 | 3.5% | | 7 | Arizona | 565 | 3.4% | | 8 | New Jersey | 429 | 2.6% | | 9 | Virginia | 426 | 2.6% | | 10 | Tennessee | 424 | 2.6% | | 11 | Pennsylvania | 423 | 2.6% | | 12 | South Carolina | 407 | 2.5% | | 13 | Illinois | 395 | 2.4% | | 14 | Ohio | 378 | 2.3% | | 15 | Alabama | 338 | 2.0% | | 16 | Louisiana | 304 | 1.8% | | 17 | Missouri | 290 | 1.8% | | 18 | Oklahoma | 268 | 1.6% | | 19 | Indiana | 261 | 1.6% | | 20 | Michigan | 259 | 1.6% | | 21 | Massachusetts | 252 | 1.5% | | 22 | Maryland | 223 | 1.3% | | 23 | Washington | 220 | 1.3% | | 24 | Utah | 212 | 1.3% | | 25 | Nevada | 204 | 1.2% | | 26 | Mississippi | 191 | 1.2% | | 27 | Kansas | 190 | 1.1% | | 28 | Wisconsin | 184 | 1.1% | | 29 | Colorado | 183 | 1.1% | | 30 | Kentucky | 173 | 1.0% | | 31 | Arkansas | 170 | 1.0% | | 32 | Oregon | 158 | 1.0% | | 33 | Iowa | 146 | 0.9% | | 34 | Idaho | 110 | 0.7% | | 35 | New Mexico | 109 | 0.7% | | 36 | Connecticut | 104 | 0.6% | | 37 | Minnesota | 104 | 0.6% | | 38 | Nebraska | 93 | 0.6% | | 39 | Hawaii | 59 | 0.4% | | 40 | West Virginia | 58 | 0.4% | | 41 | New Hampshire | 56 | 0.3% | | 42 | Maine | 50 | 0.3% | | 43 | Rhode Island | 50 | 0.3% | | 44 | Delaware | 49 | 0.3% | | 45 | Montana | 45 | 0.3% | | 46 | South Dakota | 32 | 0.2% | | 47 | Wyoming | 22 | 0.1% | | 48 | Vermont | 19 | 0.1% | | 49 | Alaska | 16 | 0.1% | | 50 | North Dakota | 15 | 0.1% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 4 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a pest control company lead list Every row is one pest control company business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for pest control companies: | Field | Why it matters for pest control companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates general pest control from wildlife removal, termite specialists and bird control. Wildlife operators buy traps and exclusion materials; termite firms buy bait systems and inspection software. | | **email + grade** | Independents usually publish one office address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **website + website\_platform** | Pest control lives on "exterminator near me" searches and emergency calls. A slow or missing site is the lead for web and local SEO agencies. | | **rating + reviews** | Review volume is a good proxy for route size. Branch locations of national brands also show here, with similar names across many rows. | | **phone** | Pest control is phone-first: customers call with a problem today. Call tracking and answering services sell on missed calls, and the number lets you test how fast they pick up. | | **hours** | Companies listing 24-hour or weekend hours compete on emergency response. It's a clean segment for answering services and after-hours dispatch tools. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Many operators run from a home office and serve several counties. Keep only companies inside your area, or include nearby ones if you sell regionally. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every pest control company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** pest control service, exterminator, pest control company, termite control, termite inspection, termite treatment, bed bug exterminator, rodent control, rat exterminator, mosquito control service, wildlife removal service, animal control service, raccoon removal, bat removal, bee removal, wasp nest removal, ant exterminator, cockroach exterminator, commercial pest control, fumigation service, organic pest control, lawn pest control, bird control service. **Google Maps categories:** Pest control service, Bird control service, Wildlife and animal removal service, Fumigation service. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to pest control companies, and what works - **Pest control software.** Routing, recurring service plans, termite bond tracking, chemical usage logs for state reporting. Lead with the paperwork they hate most: state application records. - **Chemical and equipment distributors.** Baits, sprayers, termite systems, exclusion materials, PPE. Reach owners before peak season (late winter in the South, early spring up north) when they stock up. - **Marketing and SEO agencies.** Show where they rank for "exterminator" and "termite inspection" in their ZIP compared with the national brand's local branch. Independents fear being outspent by the big names. - **Answering services and call tracking.** A missed call is a lost job in pest control. Offer to measure how many calls they miss after hours, then show the fix. - **Acquirers and business brokers.** PE-backed groups buy independents with dense routes. Filter to independents with strong review counts in a metro, and write a short, respectful note to the owner. - **Real estate and property managers.** Property managers and real estate offices need termite inspections and recurring service. They can list every licensed provider nearby and ask several for quotes. ## How to segment and qualify a pest control company list ### Independent vs branch of a national brand National brands show up as many rows with the same name and website domain. Group by domain to separate branches (which buy centrally) from independents (which buy locally). ### Wildlife and specialty Wildlife removal, bed bug, termite and mosquito specialists are distinct buyers. Search each term separately and keep them as their own segments. ### Residential vs commercial Companies that come up for "commercial pest control" serve restaurants, warehouses and food processors, where audits drive demand. They're better targets for compliance and documentation software. ### Emergency and weekend service Filter on hours for 24-hour and weekend operators. They're the natural buyers for answering services and dispatch tools. ### Sun belt vs northern markets In Florida, Texas and the Gulf states pest control runs all year. In northern states demand drops in winter, which is when owners have time to talk. ### Newly opened companies Technicians who leave a big brand to start their own company need everything at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach pest control companies ### Technicians start early Routes start around 7 a.m. Owners who also run a route check email at lunch or in the evening. Send so you land late afternoon, and call mid-afternoon. ### Time it before the season Spring swarms and summer mosquitoes are the busy months. Sell software, supplies and marketing in late fall and winter, when owners plan the year. ### Talk in routes and stops Owners think in route density, stops per day and recurring accounts. Frame savings and growth in those terms. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 16,535 exterminating and pest control establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 561710), employing about 139,000 people. Branches of national brands count as separate establishments, and owner-only operators with no payroll aren't included, so Google Maps counts differ. Can I get a pest control email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only companies inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose). Are the emails verified?

Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has about 2,300 pest control establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Florida-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want more than 1,000 verified emails, take the rest next month (unused credits roll over while your plan is active) or use Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails). The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Can I separate independents from national brands? Yes. Branches of national brands share a name and usually a website domain, so you can group or exclude them by the website column. What's left is mostly independent, owner-run companies. Does the list include wildlife removal companies? Only if you search for them. Wildlife removal is filed under its own Google Maps category, so add terms such as wildlife removal service or animal control service to your search. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 561710, Exterminating and Pest Control Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Pest Control Workers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/building-and-grounds-cleaning/pest-control-workers.htm) · 108,700 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the pest control companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Lead with blade sharpening, fast shipping and the products they reorder every month. - **Booking and grooming software.** Online booking, reminders, deposits, pet profiles and vaccination records. Pitch fewer no-shows and less time on the phone between dogs. - **Mobile grooming van builders.** Van and trailer builds, generators and water systems. Target salon owners with high review counts who might add a van, and mobile groomers due for a second rig. - **Pet product brands and distributors.** Groomers resell shampoos, treats, bandanas and accessories. Offer wholesale pricing, small minimums and a margin on retail. - **Insurance providers.** Groomers need general liability and animal bailee cover for pets in their care. Mobile groomers also need commercial auto. A clear, fast quote is the hook. - **Marketing and web agencies.** Show the groomer how it ranks for "dog groomer near me" and how its reviews compare with the nearest three salons. See [how to get local SEO clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-local-seo-clients). ## How to segment and qualify a pet groomer list ### Salons vs mobile groomers Run mobile terms (mobile dog grooming, mobile pet grooming) separately and check the service area column. Mobile groomers buy vans, generators and route software; salons buy tables, tubs and dryers. ### Groomers vs boarding and daycare Use the category column to split dedicated groomers from daycares and kennels that groom. Daycares and kennels buy kennels, flooring and software for stays; groomers buy grooming tools. ### Self-serve dog washes Self-serve washes buy tubs, dryers and payment kiosks. Search "self serve dog wash" on its own for a small, focused list. ### Solo groomers Rows with a home address or service area, few reviews and a Gmail address are usually solo groomers. They buy small and decide fast. ### Newly opened groomers A new salon needs equipment, products, software, insurance and a website at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. Our [pet store list](https://leadraft.co/leads/pet-stores) covers the retail side. ## How to reach pet groomers ### Groomers have their hands full Groomers work on dogs from morning to late afternoon. Email so it lands early evening or first thing in the morning, and keep it short. Call at the end of the day, not mid-groom. ### Avoid the holiday rush The weeks before Thanksgiving and Christmas, and early summer, are grooming peaks. Pitch in January and February or early fall. ### Lead with the dogs and the hands Groomers care about animal safety and their own wrists and backs. Offers framed around safer equipment, less physical strain or fewer bites and scratches land better than generic small-business pitches. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find pet groomer leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Pet groomers lead lists: questions How do I find pet groomer leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search terms such as dog groomer, pet grooming, mobile dog grooming, cat groomer and self serve dog wash, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each groomer's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many pet groomers are there in the US? There's no official count of groomers alone. The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 25,551 pet care establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 812910), which covers grooming, boarding, daycare, pet sitting and training. Many groomers are solo owners without payroll and aren't in that number. The BLS counts 365,300 animal caretaker jobs, a group that includes groomers. How much does a pet groomer email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 2,001 pet care establishments with employees (Census 2023), and a Maps search that adds solo and mobile groomers will find more. Even at 5,000 businesses, a Texas list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). For 2,500 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city. Can I get only mobile groomers? Mostly, yes. Search mobile grooming terms and check the service area and address columns: mobile groomers often list a service area instead of a storefront. Many salons also run a van, so expect some overlap. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the groomer's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include groomers' names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each business publishes on its own website, often the owner's address in a small salon, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 812910, Pet Care (except Veterinary) Services)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states.

Pet retail splits between national chains and independent shops that compete on expertise, natural and specialty food, and services like grooming and self-wash. The Census Bureau counted 9,921 pet and pet supplies stores with employees in 2023 (NAICS 453910). California (1,166), Florida (875) and Texas (774) lead, then New York (551), Pennsylvania (385), Illinois (367) and Ohio (353). Owner-only shops aren't counted, and many stores that sell pet food (feed stores, farm stores, grocers) are classified elsewhere, so Google Maps shows more places to buy pet supplies than the Census count. Independents pick their own brands, often buy through regional pet distributors, and add services to keep customers coming back. ## How many pet stores are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 9,921 establishments in **Pet and pet supplies stores (NAICS 453910)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for pet stores: | Field | Why it matters for pet stores | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates general pet supply stores from aquarium, reptile and bird shops and feed stores. A raw food brand and an aquarium equipment maker want different stores. | | **email + grade** | Independent stores often publish the owner's address or an info@. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts anything, so it's a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Stores with grooming or training list separate booking addresses. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the owner or buyer instead of the grooming desk. | | **website + website\_platform** | Independents without online ordering or autoship lose repeat food orders. Ecommerce and delivery vendors can sort on it directly. | | **rating + reviews** | Pet owners review stores on staff knowledge. A store with many strong reviews is a good partner for a premium brand; a low rating is an opening for training and reputation offers. | | **instagram / facebook** | Pet stores post new products, adoption events and customer pets. Active accounts mark stores that promote new brands well. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Pet distributors and sales reps cover territories. Fence the list to the area you can deliver to or visit. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every pet store No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** pet store, pet supply store, pet shop, independent pet store, natural pet food store, raw pet food store, pet food store, dog supply store, cat supply store, aquarium store, fish store, tropical fish store, saltwater aquarium store, reptile store, exotic pet store, bird store, feed store, farm and pet supply, pet bakery, dog boutique, self serve dog wash, pet store with grooming. **Google Maps categories:** Pet store, Pet supply store, Aquarium shop, Tropical fish store, Reptile store, Bird shop, Animal feed store, Pet groomer. ## Who sells to pet stores, and what works - **Pet food, treat and supply brands.** Independents carry brands that chains don't. Lead with margin, what sells in nearby stores, and in-store support like samples and demos. See [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product). - **Pet distributors.** Owners compare distributors on minimums, delivery days and brand selection. Lead with brands they ask for that their current distributor doesn't carry. - **POS, loyalty and payment providers.** Pet stores run frequent-buyer programs on food. POS with built-in loyalty and autoship, plus a clear processing rate, is the pitch. Our [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads) guide covers the approach. - **Grooming and self-wash equipment.** Stores that add grooming or a self-serve dog wash need tubs, dryers and booking software. Filter on rows that also carry the Pet groomer category. - **Marketing agencies and local delivery.** Independents compete with online retailers on convenience. Offer local delivery, autoship and local search help, and show how they rank for "pet store near me". ## How to segment and qualify a pet store list ### General pet supply Dog and cat food and supplies are the core of most stores. This is the list for food, treat and toy brands. ### Aquatics Aquarium and fish stores buy livestock, tanks, filtration and salt. Search aquarium store, fish store and saltwater aquarium store separately. ### Reptile, bird and exotic Reptile, bird and exotic pet shops buy feeders, enclosures and heating. They're a small, specialized segment that's worth its own list. ### Natural and raw food Stores focused on natural and raw food carry premium brands and freezers. They're the first target for new premium food brands. ### Feed and farm stores Feed stores sell pet food alongside livestock feed and farm supplies, mostly in rural areas. Draw your rural territory and search feed store and farm and pet supply. ### New stores A new pet store picks its brands and distributor at opening. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new pet store listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach pet stores ### Offer samples Owners want to know their customers' pets will eat it. Offer free samples or a trial case in your first email. ### Weekday mornings work best Weekends are busy with shoppers and adoption events. Tuesday to Thursday mornings, after deliveries, are best for calls and visits. ### Be specific about the product Owners and staff know ingredients and sourcing. Say where it's made, what's in it, and what makes it different from what they carry now. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Pharmacy splits into chains and independents, and they buy in completely different ways. The Census Bureau counted 41,792 pharmacy and drug store establishments with paid employees in 2023, led by New York (4,253), California (4,247), Texas (3,146), Florida (2,828) and Pennsylvania (1,972). The National Community Pharmacists Association estimates 18,988 independent community pharmacies in 2026, nearly 37% of retail pharmacies. Chain and supermarket pharmacies buy through corporate headquarters, so a store-level email rarely reaches anyone who decides. Independents are usually owned by a pharmacist who still works the counter, buys through a primary wholesaler, and decides on software, front-end products, services and marketing personally. Compounding, specialty, long-term care and infusion pharmacies are smaller niches with their own suppliers. ## How many pharmacies are there in each state? New York, California and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 41,792 establishments in **Pharmacies and drug stores (NAICS 446110)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for pharmacies: | Field | Why it matters for pharmacies | | --- | --- | | **website** | The single best signal for independent vs chain. Chain and supermarket pharmacies share a corporate domain across thousands of stores; an independent has its own domain or none at all. Group by domain and the split is done. | | **email + grade** | Independents usually publish one store address, often read by the owner. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Multi-store independents and compounding pharmacies often list addresses for refills, compounding, billing or a named pharmacist. The role and source page help you skip the refill inbox. | | **category / categories** | Separates retail pharmacies from compounding, medical supply and supplement stores. A compounding supplier and a front-end gift vendor want different rows. | | **hours** | Pharmacy hours often differ from the store's. Long hours and Sunday openings mark busy stores; the hours also tell you when the pharmacist is less likely to be swamped. | | **website\_platform + contact\_form** | Independents on a basic template site, or with no refill form, are leads for pharmacy websites and refill apps. | | **phone** | The pharmacy line rings at the counter. Call by hand at a quiet hour, ask for the owner or pharmacist-in-charge, and keep it brief. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every pharmacy No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** pharmacy, independent pharmacy, community pharmacy, drug store, drugstore, family pharmacy, apothecary, compounding pharmacy, specialty pharmacy, long term care pharmacy, infusion pharmacy, veterinary compounding pharmacy, 24 hour pharmacy, pharmacy with delivery, medical supply pharmacy, durable medical equipment, vaccine pharmacy, travel vaccines, chemist, discount pharmacy, hospital outpatient pharmacy. **Google Maps categories:** Pharmacy, Drug store, Compounding pharmacy, Medical supply store, Vitamin & supplements store, Chemist. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to pharmacies, and what works - **Pharmacy software and technology vendors.** Pharmacy management systems, refill apps, IVR, automation and adherence packaging. Independents switch when contracts end or a feature saves staff time; lead with a specific workflow, not a platform tour. - **Front-end and OTC product brands.** Independents choose more of their own front-end products than chains do. Lead with margin, minimum order and whether your product ships through their wholesaler. Our guide on [getting stores to carry your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product) covers the pitch. - **Compounding and specialty suppliers.** Chemicals, equipment, hoods and accreditation help. Filter to compounding and specialty pharmacies and lead with compliance and turnaround. - **Clinical service and testing partners.** Point-of-care testing, vaccines, medication therapy management and clinical programs. Pitch new revenue per week and the staff time it takes. - **Pharmacy marketing agencies.** Independents compete with chains on service and local search. Show the owner how they appear for "pharmacy near me" and how their reviews compare with the chain stores nearby. - **Pharmacy brokers and buyers.** Groups acquiring independents, or buying their prescription files, need every independent in a region. Filter out chain domains and reach owners with a respectful, low-pressure note. ## How to segment and qualify a pharmacy list ### Independent vs chain Group by website domain. Shared corporate domains are chains and supermarket pharmacies: drop them, or keep one row per chain for a headquarters pitch. Rows with their own domain, or no website, are independents. ### Multi-store independents A domain shared by two to ten stores is a small independent group. The owner buys for all of them, which makes these the most valuable independent accounts. ### Compounding and specialty Search compounding, specialty, infusion and long-term care terms separately. These pharmacies have different suppliers, accreditation needs and customers. ### Rural independents Draw your area around rural counties. Rural independents are often the only pharmacy in town, are well known locally and rely on services beyond dispensing. ### Weak online presence Independents with no website, no refill form or few reviews are the clearest leads for websites, refill apps and local marketing. ## How to reach pharmacies ### Write to the owner, not the store At an independent, the owner often reads the store inbox. Name the pharmacy and one thing you noticed, and keep it short. At a chain, store staff can't buy, so don't email store addresses about products or software. ### Avoid the rush Pharmacies are busiest late afternoon, early evening and Mondays. Mid-morning Tuesday to Thursday is the best window for calls. Avoid the start of flu and vaccine season. ### Mention the wholesaler Independents buy most products through a primary wholesaler. If your product is available there, or your service works with their pharmacy system, say so in the first email. It removes the first objection. ### Compliance notes Emailing a pharmacy's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve patient information. If your product touches patient data, expect HIPAA questions and a business associate agreement. The email itself falls under CAN-SPAM, and calls and texts under the TCPA.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Pharmacies lead lists: questions How many pharmacies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 41,792 pharmacy and drug store establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 446110). The National Community Pharmacists Association estimates there are 18,988 independent community pharmacies (2026), nearly 37% of retail pharmacies. Pharmacies inside supermarkets and big-box stores are often counted under the store's code instead. How do I find pharmacy leads? Pick a city, county, state or a shape you draw and search pharmacy terms (pharmacy, independent pharmacy, compounding pharmacy, drug store). Group the results by website domain to separate independents from chains. Leadraft finds emails on each pharmacy's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Can I get a list of only independent pharmacies? Yes. Chain and supermarket pharmacies share a corporate website domain across many stores. Group by domain, drop the shared ones, and what's left is independents and small independent groups. Pharmacies with no website at all are almost always independents too. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the pharmacy's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the pharmacy's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a pharmacy email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per pharmacy, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. New York has 4,253 pharmacies and drug stores with employees (Census 2023). A New York-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,000 verified emails from the independents, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails to test a city first. Do you include pharmacist names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each pharmacy publishes on its own website, often a store address and sometimes a named pharmacist, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 446110, Pharmacies and Drug Stores)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[Pharmacy Times: NCPA releases 2026 Digest report (October 4, 2026)](https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/ncpa-releases-2026-digest-report) · 18,988 independent community pharmacies in 2026, nearly 37% of US retail pharmacies. 3. 3.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Pharmacists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/pharmacists.htm) · 325,200 jobs in 2025, across all settings. 4. 4.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 5. 5.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the pharmacies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Photography is a trade of one-person businesses. BLS counts 145,000 photographer jobs and says two-thirds of photographers are self-employed. The Census Bureau counts more than 236,000 photographic services businesses with no paid employees, against about 16,500 with staff. Many photographers work from home and list a service area rather than a storefront, but they keep a Google Business Profile because clients search "photographer near me". Wedding, newborn and family photographers sell to consumers; headshot, product, real estate and commercial photographers sell to businesses. Either way, the owner is the shooter, the editor and the buyer, and they buy tools that save editing time or bring in bookings. ## How many photographers are there in each state? California, Florida and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 16,504 establishments in **Photographic services (NAICS 54192)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for photographers: | Field | Why it matters for photographers | | --- | --- | | **instagram, facebook, tiktok** | Instagram is where most photographers show their work and get booked. The link lets you see their style, niche and how often they post before you write, which matters more in this trade than anywhere else. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Solo photographers usually publish one address, often their own name or hello@, on a contact page. Up to 5 emails per business, each with role and source, also catch a studio's bookings inbox. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **category / categories** | Categories such as "Wedding photographer", "Portrait studio" and "Photography service", together with the search line that found each row, split consumer photographers from commercial ones, who buy very different things. | | **website and website\_platform** | Photographers often run portfolio sites on site builders built for photography. A photographer with an Instagram but no website, or a slow site, is a web design prospect. | | **contact\_form** | Many photographers take inquiries only through a form that asks for date and session type. When there's no email, the form URL is the way in. | | **rating and reviews** | Review count is the best proxy for how many clients a photographer books. A photographer with 300 five-star reviews is a busy business; one with 5 is starting out and has different needs. | | **address, in\_area and distance** | Many photographers list a home or a service area, not a studio. The area fence and distance keep the list to the photographers who actually work in your market. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every photographer No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** photographer, wedding photographer, portrait photographer, family photographer, newborn photographer, maternity photographer, senior portrait photographer, headshot photographer, professional headshots, boudoir photographer, pet photographer, event photographer, commercial photographer, product photographer, real estate photographer, food photographer, corporate photographer, photography studio, portrait studio, school photographer, elopement photographer, videographer, drone photography service. **Google Maps categories:** Photographer, Wedding photographer, Portrait studio, Photography studio, Photography service, Videographer. Leadraft includes these in its [Events keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#events) (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to photographers, and what works - **Print labs, album makers and framing suppliers.** Portrait, newborn and wedding photographers sell prints and albums. Lead with sample kits, turnaround times and pro pricing. - **Editing, retouching and culling services.** Editing eats the week after every wedding season weekend. Offer a free test edit of one gallery and quote per image or per gallery. - **Client management, booking and gallery software.** Solo photographers juggle contracts, invoices and galleries by hand. Show the hours saved per client, and the monthly price, in the first two lines. - **Wedding venues, planners and other wedding vendors.** Venues and planners build preferred vendor lists, and photographers are always on them. A short note with a gallery from a wedding at a similar venue starts the relationship. - **Businesses that hire photographers (real estate, restaurants, agencies).** Brokerages, restaurants and marketing agencies need product, food, headshot and property photos. Filter for commercial categories and send a specific brief with dates and a budget. - **Marketing agencies, SEO and insurance.** Photographers compete on "\[type\] photographer \[city\]" searches and need equipment and liability cover. A specific local ranking gap or a quote for gear insurance works. ## How to segment and qualify a photographer list ### Consumer vs commercial Split on category and search line. Wedding, family, newborn and senior photographers sell to consumers and have a seasonal year; headshot, product, real estate and commercial photographers sell to businesses and book year-round. ### By niche Run one search line per niche ("newborn photographer", "real estate photographer", "headshot photographer") and keep the category column. Each niche buys different props, software and services. ### Studio vs home-based Commercial addresses and "Portrait studio" or "Photography studio" categories mark photographers with a space to rent, light and insure. Service-area listings are usually home-based. ### Instagram-only photographers Filter for an Instagram link and no website. These photographers are the clearest web design and SEO prospects. ### By review count Under 20 reviews often means a new or part-time photographer; hundreds means a full-time business that books many clients a year. Pitch tools to the first and outsourcing to the second. ## How to reach photographers ### Time it around the season Wedding and outdoor portrait work peaks from late spring to fall, and holiday mini-sessions fill October and November. January and February are slow, and that's when photographers buy software, plan marketing and update their workflow. Commercial photographers are less seasonal. ### Look at their work first Photographers can tell a mass email from a real one in a sentence. Open their Instagram, mention a specific recent shoot or their niche, and keep the rest to three lines. Never use their photos in your own marketing without permission. ### Write to a person, not a company With two-thirds self-employed, the inbox belongs to the photographer. Use their business name, not "Dear team". Expect replies in the evening or on weekdays between shoots. ### Home addresses and CAN-SPAM Many photographers list a home-based business. Email only about their business, keep it short, and honor opt-outs right away. Your message is commercial, so CAN-SPAM requires a truthful subject line, a real postal address and a working opt-out.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Photographers lead lists: questions How many photographers are there in the US? BLS counts 145,000 photographer jobs in the US in 2025 and says 67% of photographers are self-employed. The Census Bureau counts more than 236,000 photographic services businesses with no paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 54192), plus about 16,500 establishments with paid employees, 11,483 of them portrait studios. Many self-employed photographers keep a Google Business Profile, so they show up in a Maps-based list. Can I get a photographer email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include photographers just outside it. Because many photographers list a service area, including nearby businesses usually gives a fuller list. Are the emails verified? Each email comes from the photographer's own website and is checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. Photographers with no website may come with an Instagram link and phone but no email. How much does a photographer email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per photographer, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: a print lab that searches California for wedding, newborn and portrait photographers and finds 8,000 businesses, then exports 3,500 verified emails, uses 8,000 business credits and 3,500 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49. Can I get only wedding photographers? Yes. Search "wedding photographer" and "elopement photographer" and filter on the category column. Photographers who shoot both weddings and portraits often list several categories, which are kept in the categories column. Does the list include Instagram accounts?

Outpatient physical therapy is a mix of independents and consolidated groups. The Census Bureau counts about 52,000 therapy offices with paid staff, a figure that combines physical, occupational and speech therapy and audiology. The BLS counts 283,700 physical therapist jobs, but only about a third are in private offices; the rest are in hospitals, home health and nursing facilities, which aren't the clinic list you're after. Private equity has rolled up many clinics into regional groups that often keep local brand names, so one company can own a dozen listings with different names. Independents are usually owned by a therapist who still treats patients. Insurance, Medicare and documentation load shape what they buy, and a growing set of cash-based and sports practices sells directly to patients. ## How many physical therapists are there in each state? California, Florida and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 52,058 establishments in **Offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists, and audiologists (NAICS 621340)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 5,369 | 10.3% | | 2 | Florida | 4,399 | 8.5% | | 3 | New York | 4,013 | 7.7% | | 4 | Texas | 3,286 | 6.3% | | 5 | Illinois | 2,545 | 4.9% | | 6 | New Jersey | 2,127 | 4.1% | | 7 | Pennsylvania | 2,085 | 4.0% | | 8 | Michigan | 1,584 | 3.0% | | 9 | Georgia | 1,521 | 2.9% | | 10 | North Carolina | 1,400 | 2.7% | | 11 | Washington | 1,307 | 2.5% | | 12 | Virginia | 1,226 | 2.4% | | 13 | Arizona | 1,219 | 2.3% | | 14 | Ohio | 1,151 | 2.2% | | 15 | Colorado | 1,112 | 2.1% | | 16 | Maryland | 1,030 | 2.0% | | 17 | Missouri | 996 | 1.9% | | 18 | Indiana | 962 | 1.8% | | 19 | Massachusetts | 931 | 1.8% | | 20 | Louisiana | 776 | 1.5% | | 21 | Arkansas | 775 | 1.5% | | 22 | Tennessee | 773 | 1.5% | | 23 | Wisconsin | 747 | 1.4% | | 24 | Alabama | 740 | 1.4% | | 25 | South Carolina | 732 | 1.4% | | 26 | Oregon | 699 | 1.3% | | 27 | Kentucky | 683 | 1.3% | | 28 | Minnesota | 668 | 1.3% | | 29 | Oklahoma | 595 | 1.1% | | 30 | Idaho | 522 | 1.0% | | 31 | Connecticut | 520 | 1.0% | | 32 | Nevada | 509 | 1.0% | | 33 | Iowa | 501 | 1.0% | | 34 | Kansas | 475 | 0.9% | | 35 | Utah | 469 | 0.9% | | 36 | Mississippi | 401 | 0.8% | | 37 | Nebraska | 394 | 0.8% | | 38 | New Mexico | 325 | 0.6% | | 39 | Maine | 304 | 0.6% | | 40 | Montana | 265 | 0.5% | | 41 | West Virginia | 256 | 0.5% | | 42 | New Hampshire | 223 | 0.4% | | 43 | Delaware | 212 | 0.4% | | 44 | Hawaii | 188 | 0.4% | | 45 | Rhode Island | 184 | 0.4% | | 46 | Alaska | 180 | 0.3% | | 47 | Wyoming | 177 | 0.3% | | 48 | North Dakota | 133 | 0.3% | | 49 | Vermont | 133 | 0.3% | | 50 | South Dakota | 128 | 0.2% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 108 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a physical therapist lead list Every row is one physical therapist business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for physical therapists: | Field | Why it matters for physical therapists | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Clinics file under "Physical therapy clinic" or "Physical therapist"; secondary categories like "Occupational therapist" or "Sports medicine clinic" mark multi-discipline clinics. Use them to keep hospital rehab departments and speech-only practices in or out. | | **business name** | Group names repeat across many listings. Sorting by name is the quickest way to see which clinics belong to one regional group and which are independent. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Clinic sites usually publish a front-desk or scheduling inbox, and groups often have a central contact. Up to 5 emails with role and source help you find the clinic director or owner address when it's published. Only Verified and Accept-all are exported. | | **website and contact\_form** | Clinics that take new patients only by phone or a request form are a fit for online scheduling and intake software. A clinic page on a group's site tells you buying happens at group level. | | **rating and reviews** | Review count tracks patient volume. A high-volume independent is a different buyer from a quiet satellite clinic of a large group. | | **hours and phone** | Early and evening hours mark clinics that compete on convenience. Hours also tell you when the front desk can take a call. | | **address, city, state, lat/lng, in\_area** | Physician referrals are local, and direct-access rules vary by state. Coordinates let you map clinics against hospitals, orthopedic practices or your own sales territory. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every physical therapist No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** physical therapy, physical therapist, physical therapy clinic, physiotherapy, sports physical therapy, orthopedic physical therapy, outpatient physical therapy, pelvic floor physical therapy, vestibular therapy, dry needling, post surgery rehab, acl rehab, back pain physical therapy, neck pain physical therapy, hand therapy, pediatric physical therapy, aquatic therapy, manual therapy, sports rehab, occupational therapy, rehabilitation center, mobile physical therapy. **Google Maps categories:** Physical therapy clinic, Physical therapist, Sports medicine clinic, Occupational therapist, Rehabilitation center, Speech pathologist, Physiatrist. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to physical therapists, and what works - **Rehab therapy software (EMR, scheduling, billing, home exercise programs).** Documentation and billing time is the pain. Segment independents from groups: independents decide in one meeting, groups run a procurement process. - **Revenue cycle and credentialing services.** Independents doing their own billing are the fit. Lead with denial rates and time to payment, and only use numbers you can document. - **Healthcare marketing and SEO agencies.** Cash-based, sports and pelvic health practices market directly to patients and need search visibility. Lead with who ranks for "\[specialty\] physical therapy \[city\]". - **Equipment and supply companies.** Treatment tables, rehab equipment, modalities and consumables. New clinics and growing independents are the best targets; groups buy centrally. - **PT staffing agencies and acquirers.** Groups and private equity buyers looking for clinics to acquire use the same list. Independents with strong reviews and one or two locations are the pool. ## How to segment and qualify a physical therapist list ### Independent vs group-owned Group rows by business name and website domain. Ten listings on one domain is a group; one listing on its own domain is usually an independent owner who still treats patients. ### By specialty Run separate search lines for sports, pelvic floor, vestibular, pediatric and hand therapy. Specialty clinics have narrower, better-defined needs and reply to specific messages. ### Outpatient clinics vs hospital rehab Hospital rehab departments appear on Maps too, but they buy through the hospital. Filter by category and name ("hospital", "medical center") to keep or drop them. ### Cash-based practices Sites that talk about out-of-network or direct-pay care are a different buyer: more marketing, less billing. Search "cash based physical therapy" and "mobile physical therapy" as their own lines. ### Newly opened clinics Therapists leaving larger groups to open their own clinic need everything at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your territory sends only newly listed clinics. ## How to reach physical therapists ### Write to the clinic director or owner In independents the owner-therapist decides; in groups it's a regional director or the central office. If the only address is the front desk, keep the email short and ask who handles vendors. ### Stay B2B and away from patient information Never ask for or send patient information. If your product handles patient records, expect a HIPAA business associate agreement (BAA) before go-live. Your emails are commercial messages, so CAN-SPAM applies: honest subject, postal address, working opt-out. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your program. ### Respect the schedule Therapists treat patients back to back, often from 7 am to 7 pm. Midday and late afternoon are when email gets read. Avoid the end of the year, when clinics are slammed with patients using up their insurance deductibles. ### Talk about Medicare and documentation carefully Outpatient PT is heavily shaped by Medicare and payer rules. If you mention reimbursement, be precise and current; therapists will spot a wrong number immediately. ## How to find physical therapist leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Physical therapists lead lists: questions How many physical therapy clinics are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 52,000 offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists and audiologists with paid employees (NAICS 621340). Census doesn't separate physical therapy from the other therapies at that level. The BLS counts 283,700 physical therapist jobs in 2025, 36% of them in therapy offices. Can I get a physical therapist email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include clinics just outside it. You can also search one specialty, such as pelvic floor physical therapy in King County, Washington. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the clinic's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts every address, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. How much does a physical therapist email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per clinic, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a search of Ohio finds 1,800 PT clinics and you export 700 verified emails, that's 1,800 business credits and 700 checked-email credits, which fits in Starter at $19. Clinics you already have are never charged again. Can I tell which clinics belong to a larger group? There's no ownership field, but group clinics usually share a name or website domain. Sort by name or website to see them together. Many groups keep the local clinic's original name, so some will look independent. Does the list include hospital physical therapy departments? It can. Hospital rehab departments that have their own Google Maps listing will appear. Filter them out by category and name if you only want private outpatient clinics. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 621340)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists and audiologists, with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Physical Therapists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/physical-therapists.htm) 3. 3.[HHS, Business Associates under HIPAA](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/business-associates/index.html) ## See the physical therapists in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Plumbing is a trade of small, owner-run shops. The Census Bureau doesn't count plumbers separately: they share NAICS 238220 with heating and air-conditioning contractors, about 111,200 employer businesses in 2023, and 77% of them had fewer than 10 employees. Thousands more are one-person operations with no payroll, which CBP leaves out but which still show up on Google Maps. The biggest concentrations are California (about 11,700 establishments in the code), Florida (9,400), Texas (9,000) and New York (7,100). A typical metro has a few multi-truck companies with an office and a marketing manager, and many owner-operators who decide everything themselves, usually from the truck. ## How many plumbers are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 111,207 establishments in **Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (NAICS 238220)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023.

These are the columns that matter most for plumbers: | Field | Why it matters for plumbers | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Plumbing companies usually publish one address (info@, service@, office@) read by whoever runs the office, often the owner's spouse or a dispatcher. The grade tells you whether it's a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts everything (**Accept-all**, a maybe). Owner-operators often use a free Gmail or Yahoo address, which is fine to email and usually reaches the owner directly. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Bigger shops list separate addresses for service requests, careers, billing and estimates. The role and the page each email was found on let you skip the careers inbox and write to the office or owner. | | **phone** | A plumber's phone is the business: it's answered by a dispatcher, an answering service or the owner on a job site. Many listed numbers are the owner's cell, which matters for calls and texts under the TCPA (see outreach below). | | **website + website\_platform** | Plenty of plumbers still run on a Facebook page or a one-page site. No website, or a site on a basic builder, is the clearest lead for web design, SEO and Local Services Ads agencies. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is the best public signal of call volume. A 20-review shop next to a 900-review competitor is the pitch for review software and local SEO, and a high-volume shop is the target for dispatch and financing tools. | | **hours** | Shows who advertises 24/7 emergency service and who works business hours only. Emergency shops buy answering services, after-hours dispatch and call tracking; 8-to-5 shops are better targets for scheduling and estimate software. | | **category / categories** | Splits general plumbers from drain and sewer specialists, septic services, water treatment and companies that also do HVAC. Each buys different equipment and software. | | **facebook / yelp** | Many small plumbers get more leads from Facebook groups, Nextdoor-style word of mouth and Yelp than from a website. A Yelp profile with no website is a specific gap you can name. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every plumber No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** plumber, plumbing company, plumbing contractor, emergency plumber, 24 hour plumber, residential plumber, commercial plumber, drain cleaning service, sewer line repair, sewer camera inspection, hydro jetting service, water heater repair, water heater installation, tankless water heater installer, leak detection service, slab leak repair, repiping service, gas line plumber, septic system service, backflow testing, water softener installation, toilet repair, garbage disposal repair, bathroom plumbing, well pump repair. **Google Maps categories:** Plumber, Drainage service, Septic system service, Gas installation service, Water softening equipment supplier, Water damage restoration service, Bathroom remodeler, HVAC contractor. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to plumbers, and what works - **Home-services marketing, SEO and web design agencies.** Show the owner where they rank for "plumber near me" and "emergency plumber" in their own ZIP, against the two competitors with the most reviews. Lead with one fact from the row: no website, few reviews, or no hours listed. - **Field service software (scheduling, dispatch, invoicing).** Owners hate paperwork done at night. Pitch fewer missed calls, faster invoices and online booking, and target shops with 100+ reviews, which tend to run several trucks. - **Answering services, call centers and AI receptionists.** Every missed call is a lost emergency job. Target companies that list 24-hour hours or "emergency" in their name, and quote a cost per answered call rather than a monthly fee. - **Plumbing supply distributors and equipment makers.** Tankless water heaters, sewer cameras, jetters, PEX tools. Segment by category (drain and sewer, water treatment) and by service area, and offer a branch-level account or a demo day. - **Consumer financing, insurance and bonding providers.** Repiping and water heater replacements are big-ticket jobs. Offer financing that helps the tech close the sale on the spot; offer general liability and bonding renewals to newly listed shops. - **Business brokers and home-services roll-ups.** Buyers want established independents with strong reviews in a target metro. Draw the metro as a polygon, filter by review count, exclude franchise brand names, and send a short, respectful note to the owner. ## How to segment and qualify a plumber list ### Emergency vs scheduled work Filter on the hours column and on "emergency" or "24 hour" in the business name. Emergency shops answer the phone at night and buy different things than 8-to-5 remodel plumbers. ### Plumbing-only vs plumbing and HVAC Many companies list both Plumber and HVAC contractor in their categories. Combined shops are larger on average and often have an office manager; pure plumbers are usually owner-run. ### Drain, sewer and septic specialists Use the category columns and search terms like "drain cleaning service", "sewer line repair" and "septic system service". These businesses buy cameras, jetters and trucks, and are a tight list for equipment sellers. ### Weak online presence No website, a rating under 4.0, or fewer than 30 reviews. These are the best leads for marketing offers, and you can name the gap in the first line. ### Franchise vs independent National plumbing franchises appear many times under the same brand and domain. Group by website domain, then decide whether to approach the franchisor once or each franchisee separately. ### New plumbing businesses A newly listed plumber needs a website, insurance, software and a supplier account in the same month. Set up a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area to get new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach plumbers ### Plumbers are under a sink in the morning Owners are on jobs from early morning and do office work at the end of the day. Emails that land around 6 to 8 pm, or early on a weekday before the first call, get read. Calls go to a dispatcher or answering service during the day, so ask for the owner by name only if you have it from their website. ### Talk in jobs and dollars Plumbers think in booked jobs and average ticket. "Two more water heater installs a month" lands better than "more visibility". Keep the email under 100 words, plain text, no attachments. ### Mind the seasons Winter freezes and burst pipes are the busiest weeks in cold states, and nobody has time for a pitch then. Late spring and early fall are quieter and better for software and marketing decisions. ### Many numbers are cell phones: follow the TCPA The listed number for a small plumbing shop is often the owner's mobile. Under the TCPA, autodialed or prerecorded calls and marketing texts to wireless numbers need prior consent, so dial by hand and don't text cold. Email is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and a working opt-out. See our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ### Use local proof Compare them with competitors they know: "the top three plumbers within 5 miles of you average 400 reviews." You can pull that from the same list with the rating, reviews and distance columns. ## How to find plumber leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Plumbers lead lists: questions How many plumbers are there in the US? The BLS counted 510,600 plumber, pipefitter and steamfitter jobs in 2025. For businesses, the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted about 111,200 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 238220); the Census doesn't split plumbing from HVAC, and one-person shops without payroll aren't in that count. Google Maps counts differ again because they include sole operators and companies listed under several categories. Can I get a plumber email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius around your branch, or upload a KML file of your service territory. Leadraft only keeps plumbers inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), and it doesn't charge for the ones outside. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a plumber email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida had about 9,400 plumbing and HVAC contractors with employees in 2023 (Census); a statewide plumber list of that order fits the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month). If you want 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Will I get HVAC companies mixed in with plumbers? Some, because many companies do both and list both categories on Google Maps. Leadraft keeps the category and all categories for every row, so you can filter to plumbing-only companies or keep the combined shops, which are often the larger ones. Is this a list of plumbing leads (homeowners who need a plumber)? No. This is a list of plumbing businesses, for people who sell to plumbers: agencies, software, suppliers and financing companies. If you're a plumber looking for customers, this isn't the right product. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 238220, Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/plumbers-pipefitters-and-steamfitters.htm) · 510,600 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the plumbers in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Podiatry is a small, specialist market that is easy to cover completely. The Census Bureau counted 7,523 offices of podiatrists with paid employees in 2023, and the BLS counts about 10,000 podiatrist jobs. Unusually, New York (871) leads, ahead of California (760), Florida (661), Pennsylvania (470), New Jersey (450), Texas (445) and Illinois (436). Most practices are owned by one to a few podiatrists who also do surgery at local hospitals or surgery centers, and multi-office podiatry groups are consolidating. Practices treat a lot of older and diabetic patients, so Medicare billing, wound care supplies, custom orthotics and diabetic shoes shape what they buy. ## How many podiatrists are there in each state? New York, California and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 7,523 establishments in **Offices of podiatrists (NAICS 621391)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | New York | 871 | 11.6% | | 2 | California | 760 | 10.1% | | 3 | Florida | 661 | 8.8% | | 4 | Pennsylvania | 470 | 6.2% | | 5 | New Jersey | 450 | 6.0% | | 6 | Texas | 445 | 5.9% | | 7 | Illinois | 436 | 5.8% | | 8 | Michigan | 300 | 4.0% | | 9 | Ohio | 293 | 3.9% | | 10 | Georgia | 227 | 3.0% | | 11 | Virginia | 191 | 2.5% | | 12 | Maryland | 179 | 2.4% | | 13 | Arizona | 160 | 2.1% | | 14 | North Carolina | 154 | 2.0% | | 15 | Massachusetts | 149 | 2.0% | | 16 | Connecticut | 119 | 1.6% | | 17 | Washington | 114 | 1.5% | | 18 | Indiana | 109 | 1.4% | | 19 | Tennessee | 102 | 1.4% | | 20 | Missouri | 94 | 1.2% | | 21 | Utah | 91 | 1.2% | | 22 | Colorado | 80 | 1.1% | | 23 | South Carolina | 75 | 1.0% | | 24 | Oregon | 72 | 1.0% | | 25 | Alabama | 71 | 0.9% | | 26 | Iowa | 66 | 0.9% | | 27 | Louisiana | 64 | 0.9% | | 28 | Kentucky | 61 | 0.8% | | 29 | Nevada | 58 | 0.8% | | 30 | Oklahoma | 57 | 0.8% | | 31 | Wisconsin | 56 | 0.7% | | 32 | Rhode Island | 51 | 0.7% | | 33 | New Mexico | 42 | 0.6% | | 34 | Idaho | 39 | 0.5% | | 35 | Kansas | 39 | 0.5% | | 36 | Arkansas | 38 | 0.5% | | 37 | West Virginia | 36 | 0.5% | | 38 | Delaware | 35 | 0.5% | | 39 | Minnesota | 32 | 0.4% | | 40 | Maine | 27 | 0.4% | | 41 | Nebraska | 26 | 0.3% | | 42 | Mississippi | 23 | 0.3% | | 43 | Montana | 22 | 0.3% | | 44 | New Hampshire | 18 | 0.2% | | 45 | Hawaii | 14 | 0.2% | | 46 | Alaska | 11 | 0.1% | | 47 | District of Columbia | 9 | 0.1% | | 48 | South Dakota | 9 | 0.1% | | 49 | Wyoming | 8 | 0.1% | | 50 | Vermont | 6 | 0.1% | | 51 | North Dakota | 3 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a podiatrist lead list Every row is one podiatrist business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for podiatrists: | Field | Why it matters for podiatrists | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates podiatrists from orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons, orthotics shops and foot spas that show up in the same searches. Keep Podiatrist rows for a clean list. | | **website** | Podiatry groups share one domain across offices. Grouping by domain shows you which practices are independent and which belong to a group that buys centrally. | | **email + grade** | Practices usually publish one office or appointments address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger practices list addresses for billing, records or a named doctor. The role and source page help you reach the office manager or owner. | | **hours** | Many podiatrists keep surgery days when the office is closed or short-staffed. The hours column shows which weekdays they see patients, so you know when to call. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a rough guide to patient volume. Practices with few reviews are leads for marketing and review tools. | | **phone** | The front desk screens calls. Ask for the office manager, call by hand and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every podiatrist No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** podiatrist, foot doctor, foot and ankle specialist, foot and ankle surgeon, podiatry clinic, foot clinic, ankle doctor, sports podiatrist, pediatric podiatrist, diabetic foot care, wound care clinic, ingrown toenail treatment, bunion surgeon, heel pain treatment, plantar fasciitis treatment, custom orthotics, diabetic shoes, toenail fungus laser treatment, foot surgery, orthopedic foot and ankle. **Google Maps categories:** Podiatrist, Foot care, Orthopedic surgeon, Orthotics & prosthetics service, Medical clinic. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to podiatrists, and what works - **Orthotics labs and diabetic footwear suppliers.** Custom orthotics and diabetic shoes are regular, billable products for most practices. Lead with turnaround time, fit guarantees and help with Medicare paperwork. - **Wound care and medical supply companies.** Podiatrists treat diabetic wounds and ulcers. Pitch dressings, skin substitutes or in-office devices with clinical evidence and reimbursement guidance. - **Medical billing and practice software.** Medicare-heavy practices deal with documentation and denials. Offer a concrete number on claims recovered, and mention HIPAA safeguards and a business associate agreement. - **Healthcare marketing agencies.** Patients search for problems, not specialties: "heel pain", "ingrown toenail", "bunion surgeon". Show the practice how it appears for those searches in its city. - **Laser and in-office equipment dealers.** Nail fungus lasers, shockwave therapy and imaging bring cash-pay revenue. Lead with the procedure volume needed to pay back the device. ## How to segment and qualify a podiatrist list ### Independent vs group practice Group by website domain. One domain across several offices is a group that buys centrally; a single-office domain is an owner who decides directly. ### Surgical vs office-based Practices that call themselves foot and ankle surgeons, or list surgery services, buy surgical supplies and are tied to local surgery centers. Search surgeon terms separately. ### Wound care and diabetic focus Search diabetic foot care and wound care terms. These practices are the best accounts for wound care supplies and diabetic footwear. ### Podiatrists vs orthopedists Orthopedic surgeons who treat feet are filed under Orthopedic surgeon. Use the category column to keep them out of a podiatry list or as their own segment. ### Whole-state lists Podiatry is small enough to cover a whole state in one search. Draw the state or a multi-state territory and keep every practice, then segment by group and focus. ## How to reach podiatrists ### Write to the office manager The office manager handles most vendors and the podiatrist-owner signs off on equipment and anything clinical. Keep the first email short, name the practice and one specific detail. ### Avoid surgery days Podiatrists often operate one or two days a week. Check the hours column and call on clinic days, mid-morning or mid-afternoon. ### HIPAA is about patient data Emailing a practice's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve patient information. If your product will handle patient data, the practice will expect safeguards and usually a business associate agreement. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

They work in about 7,500 offices of podiatrists with paid employees, according to the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns for 2023 (NAICS 621391). Some podiatrists work in hospitals, wound care centers or multi-specialty groups, which Census counts under other codes. How do I find podiatrist leads? Pick a city, county, state or a shape you draw and search podiatry terms (podiatrist, foot doctor, foot and ankle specialist, plus conditions like heel pain). Leadraft keeps only practices inside your area, finds emails on each practice's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Can I get a podiatrist email list for a specific state? Yes. Pick the state, a set of counties, a radius, or draw your territory on the map. Leadraft keeps only practices inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose). Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the practice's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the practice's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a podiatrist email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per practice, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. New York has 871 podiatry offices with employees (Census 2023). A New York-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). The whole US, about 7,500 offices, also fits Starter on business credits; for 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. Do you include podiatrists' names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each practice publishes on its own website, often an office address and sometimes a named doctor, with the role and the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 621391, Offices of Podiatrists)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Podiatrists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/podiatrists.htm) · About 10,000 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the podiatrists in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Pool service is a route business: a tech or a small crew services the same residential pools every week, with repairs, equipment swaps and openings and closings on top. There is no Census count for pool service alone. It sits in NAICS 561790, other services to buildings and dwellings, alongside chimney sweeps, gutter, duct and pressure-washing firms: 18,069 establishments with employees in 2023, most of them small. The state ranking of that code follows pool country: Florida (3,260), California (2,198), Texas (1,621) and Arizona (879) lead. Most pool service companies are owner-operators with one or a few trucks, and many have no payroll at all, so Google Maps shows far more of them than any official table. Pool builders are a separate, larger-ticket business filed under contractor codes. In the Sun Belt the work runs year-round; in the North it is seasonal, with openings in spring and closings in fall. ## What's in a pool service lead list Every row is one pool service business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for pool services: | Field | Why it matters for pool services | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits route cleaners (Pool cleaning service) from repair techs (Swimming pool repair service), builders (Swimming pool contractor) and retail (Swimming pool supply store). Each buys something different. | | **email + grade** | Small pool companies often publish a Gmail or a single office address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **website** | Many one-truck pool services have no website and get work from referrals and Google Maps. That is the opening for web and local SEO offers, and a sign of a smaller operator. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a fair proxy for route size. A company with hundreds of reviews runs several trucks; one with a handful is a solo route. | | **address + service\_area** | Most pool services are service-area businesses. Use the area columns to keep companies that run routes in your territory. | | **phone** | The number usually rings the owner's mobile on the route. Call by hand and follow the TCPA. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every pool service No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** pool service, pool cleaning service, pool maintenance, weekly pool service, pool repair service, pool equipment repair, pool pump repair, pool heater repair, pool filter cleaning, pool leak detection, green pool cleanup, pool opening and closing, pool resurfacing, pool remodeling, pool tile cleaning, pool builder, pool contractor, inground pool installer, fiberglass pool installer, above ground pool installer, pool supply store, hot tub repair, spa service, commercial pool service. **Google Maps categories:** Pool cleaning service, Swimming pool repair service, Swimming pool contractor, Swimming pool supply store, Hot tub repair service, Hot tub store. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to pool services, and what works - **Pool chemical and equipment distributors.** Chlorine, acid, salt cells, pumps, filters and heaters. Route services buy chemicals weekly and equipment on every repair call; lead with route-friendly pickup or delivery and pricing on their volume items. - **Route and field-service software.** Route scheduling, chemical logs, photo reports to homeowners and recurring billing. Pitch time saved per route and fewer "did you come today" calls. - **Route brokers and acquirers.** Pool routes are bought and sold by the account. Buyers building scale in one metro can list every pool service there and reach owners about selling. - **Local marketing and web agencies.** Show the owner where they rank for "pool service near me" and how many reviews the top three nearby services have. Rows with no website are the easiest start. - **Insurance and fleet providers.** Pool techs carry chemicals and work on customers' property. General liability, commercial auto and workers' comp for a first employee are concrete offers. ## How to segment and qualify a pool service list ### Route cleaners vs repair vs builders Use the category columns and search terms to split weekly cleaning routes, repair and equipment techs, and pool builders. Builders are a contractor sale with a much larger ticket. ### Sun Belt vs seasonal markets Florida, Arizona, Texas and Southern California run year-round. In the North, search in late winter to reach companies before openings, and expect slow replies in peak summer. ### Solo routes vs multi-truck companies A free-provider email, no website and few reviews usually means one person. A website, several emails and many reviews mean a company with employees, which buys software and insurance. ### Commercial pool service Companies that service HOA, hotel and apartment pools often work with certified pool operators and health inspections. Search "commercial pool service" and check the website. ### New pool companies A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new pool service listings as they appear on Google Maps, when the owner is buying chemicals, equipment and a website. ## How to reach pool services ### Catch them before and after the route Techs are on the road from early morning to mid-afternoon. Emails that land in the evening get read; calls go better late afternoon. ### Time it to the season In seasonal markets, late winter and early spring are when owners plan, hire and buy. In mid-summer they're too busy to talk. ### Speak in accounts and stops Owners think in pools per day and dollars per account per month. Frame your offer as more stops per day, fewer callbacks or higher revenue per account. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Most numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA.

Remove duplicates, sort by category, and find and check an email for each business. Leadraft does those steps in one search and charges each business once. How many pool service companies are there in the US? There's no official count for pool service alone. The Census Bureau puts pool cleaning in NAICS 561790, other services to buildings and dwellings, which had 18,069 establishments with paid employees in 2023 and also includes chimney, gutter, duct and pressure-washing firms. Many pool routes are run by owners with no payroll, so Google Maps shows more pool businesses than any Census table. Can I separate pool cleaners from pool builders? Yes. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can filter Pool cleaning service and Swimming pool repair service rows apart from Swimming pool contractor rows, and keep the search term that found each one. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the business's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a pool service email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has 3,260 establishments in NAICS 561790 (Census 2023), the code that includes pool cleaning. Even if every one of them were a pool business, they'd fit in the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, with 1,000 checked emails). Growth ($49 a month) gives 5,000 checked emails. The Free plan's 500 businesses and 50 checked emails are enough to test one city. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. Small pool services often publish an address that reaches the owner directly, and each email comes with its role and source. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 561790, Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states.

Printing is a long tail of independent shops. The Census Bureau counted 15,140 commercial printing establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 323111, which covers offset, digital and quick printing but not screen printing or books). California (about 1,880) leads, then Texas (1,100), Florida (1,020), New York (990), Illinois (800), Pennsylvania (600) and Ohio (600). Screen printers, embroidery shops and sign shops are filed under other codes, and on Google Maps they sit right beside the commercial printers. Most shops are owner-run: the owner buys equipment, paper and software, and a counter or estimating person handles day-to-day orders. Franchise print and sign brands are common in suburbs. ## How many print shops are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 15,140 establishments in **Commercial printing (except screen and books) (NAICS 323111)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for print shops: | Field | Why it matters for print shops | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates commercial and digital printers from screen printers, embroidery and sign shops. Paper and press dealers sell to the first group; blank apparel and ink suppliers sell to the second. | | **email + grade** | Print shops usually publish an orders@ or info@ address that the counter reads. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Bigger printers list separate addresses for quotes, art files and the owner. The role and the page it came from help you reach the owner, not the file upload inbox. | | **website + website\_platform** | A shop without online ordering or a file upload page is a lead for web-to-print software. The platform column shows which shops run on a hosted print storefront and which built their own. | | **rating + reviews** | Retail-facing copy shops and t-shirt printers collect many reviews; trade and commercial printers collect few. Use review counts within a segment, not across segments. | | **hours** | Shops open Saturdays or late are retail-facing. Weekday-only hours often mean a trade or commercial printer that works for businesses and agencies. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Printers compete on pickup and same-day delivery. Area and distance columns let you build a route for a sales rep or a territory for a dealer. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every print shop No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** print shop, printing service, commercial printer, commercial printing, digital printing, offset printing, quick print shop, copy shop, copy center, business card printing, flyer printing, brochure printing, large format printing, banner printing, sign shop, sign company, vehicle wrap shop, screen printing, screen printer, t-shirt printing, custom apparel printing, embroidery shop, label printing, packaging printing, promotional products, direct mail printing, print and mail service. **Google Maps categories:** Print shop, Commercial printer, Digital printer, Screen printer, Sign shop, Copy shop, Embroidery service, Promotional products supplier. Leadraft includes these in its [Professional & B2B keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#professional-b2b) (66 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to print shops, and what works - **Print equipment and supply dealers.** Production presses, wide-format printers, finishing equipment, paper, toner and ink. Owners buy when a lease ends or a machine fails. Lead with service response time and cost per click, not specs. - **Web-to-print and print MIS software.** Online ordering, estimating, job tracking. Pitch the owner on fewer back-and-forth emails per job and faster quotes, and target shops without online ordering on their site. - **Trade printers and wholesale suppliers.** Shops resell work they can't run in-house: large runs, specialty finishes, apparel, promotional items. Offer blind shipping, trade pricing and clear turnaround times. - **Marketing agencies and designers.** Agencies need a reliable local printer for client work, and printers want steady agency volume. Either side can use a list of the other; see the [marketing agency list](https://leadraft.co/leads/marketing-agencies). - **Business brokers and acquirers.** Buyers looking for printers to acquire in a region. Filter to established independents with steady review counts and reach the owner with a short, respectful note. ## How to segment and qualify a print shop list ### Commercial vs retail copy shops Commercial printers sell to businesses and agencies on quotes; copy shops sell walk-in jobs. Use the category column and hours to tag each row. ### Screen printing and embroidery Apparel decorators buy blanks, inks, presses and embroidery machines, not paper. Search screen printing, t-shirt printing and embroidery terms separately and keep them as their own segment. ### Sign and wide-format shops Sign shops, banner printers and vehicle wrap shops buy wide-format printers, vinyl and installation services. They often overlap with print shops; tag by category. ### Franchise vs independent Franchise units share a brand and often a domain. Group by domain: the franchisor sets equipment and software vendors, so pitch head office for those and the local owner for local services. ### No online ordering Filter for shops whose website has no order or upload page, or no website at all. They're the best leads for web-to-print and site offers, and you can name the gap in your first line (see [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites)). ## How to reach print shops ### Write to the owner, not the counter The published address is read by whoever is at the counter. Keep the email short and ask for the owner or production manager by role if no named address is listed. ### Avoid rush seasons Printers are slammed before elections, graduation, tax season mailings and the holidays, and screen printers before school and sports seasons. Write in quieter weeks and mention you know the calendar. ### Talk in cost per job Owners price work per job and per click. Frame savings as cents per click, minutes per job or jobs per day, not features. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call shop lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find print shop leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Print shops lead lists: questions How do I find print shop leads? Pick the city, county or ZIP code you sell into, search terms like print shop, commercial printer, screen printing and sign shop, and let Leadraft collect every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each shop's own website and checks every mailbox, so you export only Verified and Accept-all emails. How many print shops are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 15,140 commercial printing establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 323111). Screen printers, sign shops and owner-only shops with no employees aren't in that number, so a Google Maps search with all the printing terms usually returns more. Can I get a list of only screen printers or sign shops? Yes. Search only those terms (screen printing, t-shirt printing, embroidery shop, or sign shop, vehicle wrap shop) and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can keep Screen printer and Sign shop rows apart from Commercial printer rows. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the shop's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the shop's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a print shop email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per shop, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has about 1,880 commercial printing establishments with employees (Census 2023). Add screen printers and sign shops and a California list might reach several thousand businesses, which still fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,500 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Do you include the print shop owner's name? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each shop publishes on its own website, often orders@ or info@ and sometimes the owner's own, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 323111, Commercial Printing except Screen and Books)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the print shops in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The National Center for Education Statistics counted about 29,730 K-12 private schools in 2021-22, teaching 4.7 million students with about 482,600 full-time-equivalent teachers. About 6,120 were Catholic; most of the rest are other religious schools (Conservative Christian, Lutheran, Jewish, Islamic and others) or nonsectarian schools such as independent, Montessori and special education schools. The Census Bureau's 2023 count of private school establishments with employees (NAICS 611110) is 23,201, led by California (about 2,750), Florida (1,790), New York (1,770), Texas (1,620), Pennsylvania (1,140) and Illinois (890). Most private schools are small and run on tuition. The head of school and a business manager decide on most purchases, Catholic schools may buy through their diocese, and budgets are set in spring for the next school year. ## How many private schools are there in each state?

These are the columns that matter most for private schools: | Field | Why it matters for private schools | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates Catholic, Christian, Montessori, boarding and special education schools. Many private schools are filed only as Elementary school or High school, so search private-school terms and check the name and category together to keep public schools out. | | **email + grade** | Schools publish an office or admissions address on their site. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. School and diocese domains are sometimes set to accept every address, so expect some **Accept-all** grades and send to those more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | School sites often list the head of school, admissions, business office, athletics and the front office.

Open with what you can see: a dated website, few parent reviews, or no visibility for "private school near me" in their ZIP. Offer a short review before the next admissions season. - **School software (SIS, admissions, tuition management).** Student information, admissions, tuition billing, parent communication. Pitch the head of school and business manager on hours saved in admissions and billing, and time demos for the spring planning window. - **Uniform, food service and transportation providers.** Many private schools buy uniforms, lunches and buses from outside vendors. Territory matters, so draw your service area and lead with a per-student price. - **Facilities, security and maintenance contractors.** Campus security, access control, HVAC, roofing, cleaning and grounds. Summer is when work gets done, so reach the business office in winter and spring with a summer schedule. - **Education supplies, curriculum and edtech.** Curriculum publishers, STEM kits, classroom technology and library vendors. Segment by religious affiliation and grade levels; a classical or Christian curriculum sells to a different subset than a coding program. - **Insurance, benefits and financial services.** Schools need property and liability coverage, employee benefits and sometimes financing for buildings. A clear comparison of costs at renewal time is the hook. ## How to segment and qualify a private school list ### Religious vs nonsectarian Use category and name to split Catholic, other religious and nonsectarian schools. Catholic schools may buy through a diocese office, so group them by diocese and contact that office for central purchases. ### Grade levels Elementary-only, K-8, high school and K-12 schools buy differently: high schools buy athletics, college counseling and lab equipment. The category and name usually tell you which. ### Montessori and alternative schools Montessori, Waldorf and classical schools have their own materials and training needs. Search them separately and keep them as their own segment. ### Boarding and international schools Boarding schools buy housing, food service and international recruiting. They are few, so a hand-written first email to the head of school works. ### Weak online presence Filter for schools with no website, few reviews or a low rating. These are the best leads for enrollment marketing and websites, and you can name the gap in your first line. ### By metro or county Vendors with routes or service areas should search one county or a drawn area at a time. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on the same area shows new schools as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach private schools ### Follow the school calendar Budgets for the next year are set in late winter and spring, and summer is when projects get done. Avoid the first weeks of school, exam weeks and the holiday break. Many offices keep reduced hours in July. ### Write to the business office or head of school The front office and admissions inboxes screen everything for parents. Use the role column to pick the business manager or head of school for purchases, and keep the first email to a few lines. ### Contacting a school is not contacting students Emailing a school's published business address about a product is ordinary B2B marketing. Student privacy rules such as FERPA cover student records (and FERPA applies only to schools that get Department of Education funding); they aren't about writing to a school's office. If your product touches student data, say up front how you handle it, because that question decides the deal. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to schools is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Private schools lead lists: questions How do I find private school leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search private school terms (private school, Catholic school, Christian academy, Montessori school and so on), and Leadraft finds every matching school on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each school's own website, checks each mailbox, and lets you export CSV or XLSX or push the list to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many private schools are there in the US? The National Center for Education Statistics counted about 29,730 K-12 private schools in 2021-22, with 4.7 million students. About 6,120 were Catholic. The Census Bureau counted 23,201 private school establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 611110). Google Maps counts differ again, because some schools have separate listings for each campus or division. Can I keep public schools out of the list? Mostly, yes. Search private-school terms and filter by category (Private school, Catholic school, Christian school, Montessori school). Some private schools are filed only as Elementary school or High school, so check the name of those rows; public district schools are easy to spot by name and website domain. How much does a private school email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per school, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has about 1,790 private school establishments with employees (Census 2023), which fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). A US-wide list of about 23,000 to 30,000 schools fits Growth ($49 a month, 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails); if you want 12,000 verified emails at once, Pro ($99 a month, 15,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test first. Does FERPA stop me from emailing private schools? Emailing a school's published business address about a product is business-to-business marketing and doesn't involve student records, so FERPA isn't the rule that governs it (and FERPA only applies to schools that receive Department of Education funds). CAN-SPAM applies to the email itself. If your product will handle student data, schools will expect clear privacy terms. This isn't legal advice. Do you include teacher or principal names? No. Leadraft lists the school, not people. You get the emails the school publishes on its own website (often the office, admissions or business office, sometimes a named head of school), each with its role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 611110, Elementary and Secondary Schools, private)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025.

The Census Bureau counts about 79,000 property management establishments with paid employees, roughly 61,000 residential and 18,000 nonresidential, employing about 708,000 people. Most are local firms managing single-family rentals, small apartment buildings or HOAs for owners who don't want to do it themselves. A smaller number of regional and national operators run large apartment portfolios. Property managers are a strong B2B market because they buy the same services over and over for every door they manage: maintenance, turnover cleaning, landscaping, pest control, insurance and software. The owner or a director of operations usually picks vendors, and once a vendor is on the approved list, the work repeats every month. ## How many property management companies are there in each state? California, New York and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 78,886 establishments in **Real estate property managers (NAICS 53131)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for property management companies: | Field | Why it matters for property management companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Many property managers are also brokerages, so they appear under "Real estate agency" as well as "Property management company". The categories column lets you keep pure brokerages out and keep the managers in. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Property managers publish several inboxes: leasing@, maintenance@, owners@, info@. Up to 5 emails per company, each with its role and the page it came from, let you send a vendor pitch to the office rather than to the tenant-facing leasing inbox. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **website and contact\_form** | Most property managers have a site with an owner inquiry form and a tenant portal. A site with no owner-facing page is a pitch for marketing agencies selling owner lead generation. | | **rating and reviews** | Property managers' reviews are written mostly by tenants, and low ratings are common. A company under 3 stars with many reviews is the reputation-management list; for maintenance vendors, it's a company that may need faster repairs. | | **phone and hours** | Maintenance emergencies happen at night. Companies listing 24-hour lines already have an on-call process; those that don't may want an after-hours answering or maintenance dispatch service. | | **address, city, postal\_code, distance** | Vendors like plumbers, cleaners and landscapers need managers whose portfolios sit within their service radius. Distance from your base helps you start with the closest ones. | | **linkedin** | Regional and commercial managers use LinkedIn; small residential firms rarely do. It's a quick way to spot the larger operators in your list. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every property management company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** property management company, property manager, residential property management, rental property management, apartment management company, single family home property management, hoa management company, community association management, condo management company, commercial property management, vacation rental management, short term rental management, airbnb management company, property management services, real estate management company, leasing company, rental agency, tenant placement service, multifamily property management, student housing management. **Google Maps categories:** Property management company, Real estate rental agency, Apartment rental agency, Homeowners' association, Vacation home rental agency, Real estate agency, Commercial real estate agency. Leadraft includes these in its [Real estate keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#real-estate) (46 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to property management companies, and what works - **Maintenance trades: plumbers, HVAC, electricians, handymen, roofers.** Property managers want vendors who answer the phone, send photos and invoice cleanly. Offer a trial work order and a guaranteed response time. One approved-vendor slot can mean dozens of jobs a year. - **Turnover cleaning, carpet, painting and junk removal.** Turnovers are predictable and urgent. Lead with your turnaround time for a vacant unit and a flat per-unit price list. - **Landscaping, snow removal and pest control.** Recurring contracts across many properties. Pitch HOA and multifamily managers on a single contract that covers all their sites in your area. - **Property management software, tenant screening and payments.** Segment by size and type: HOA software doesn't fit a single-family rental manager. Lead with the switch cost and how long migration takes. - **Insurance agencies and marketing agencies.** Landlord and HOA policies, and owner lead generation ("get more doors"), are both strong angles for firms trying to grow their portfolios. ## How to segment and qualify a property management company list ### Residential, HOA, vacation rental or commercial Run separate search lines ("hoa management company", "vacation rental management", "commercial property management") and keep the category column. Each type buys different services and needs a different email. ### Pure managers vs brokerages that also manage Filter on categories. A company listed only as "Property management company" is all-in on management; one listed as a real estate agency too often does sales as well. Vendors usually prefer the pure managers. ### By review count as a portfolio proxy We don't have door counts. Tenant reviews pile up with the number of units managed, so a company with hundreds of reviews almost always runs a bigger portfolio than one with ten. ### Within your service radius For trade vendors, draw your real service area or use a radius from your shop. Sort by distance and start with the closest managers. ### Low-rated managers Sort by rating. A low rating with complaints about repairs is an opening for maintenance vendors; complaints about communication are an opening for software and answering services. ## How to reach property management companies ### Write to the office, not the leasing inbox leasing@ addresses are flooded with tenant inquiries. Prefer info@, owners@ or a named manager. Put the service and the area in the subject line so it's routed to whoever manages vendors. ### Expect paperwork Before a manager sends you work, they'll usually ask for a certificate of insurance, a W-9 and sometimes a license number. Mention that you have them ready. It signals you've worked with managers before. ### Time it to the leasing calendar Summer is peak turnover for residential and student housing, so managers are busiest from May to August. Late winter is when many review vendors and budgets for the year. HOA managers plan around annual board meetings and budgets set in the fall. ### Keep it B2B and CAN-SPAM clean Property managers are businesses, and B2B email in the US is allowed under CAN-SPAM with a truthful subject, a postal address and a working opt-out. HOA boards are volunteers, so pitch the management company, not individual board members.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Property management companies lead lists: questions How many property management companies are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 78,900 property management establishments with paid employees (NAICS 53131): about 60,800 residential and 18,100 nonresidential, employing about 708,000 people. Many more small landlords and one-person managers have no staff. Google Maps lists most firms that take outside clients, so a Maps list for an area usually includes small managers the Census count doesn't. Can I get a property management email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw your service area on a map, and choose whether to include companies just outside it. Trade vendors often use a radius from their shop. Can I separate HOA managers from rental property managers? Yes, mostly. Search with type-specific terms ("hoa management company", "rental property management") and use the category and categories columns from each company's Google Maps listing. Some firms do both and list both. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the company's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. How much does a property management email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a metro search finds 1,200 property managers and you export 500 verified emails, that's 1,200 business credits and 500 checked-email credits, which fits in Starter at $19 with room for a second city. Do I get the number of units each company manages? No. Leadraft doesn't have door counts or revenue. Review count, multiple locations and the presence of LinkedIn are the practical signals for size. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 53131, 531311, 531312)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Establishments with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Property, Real Estate, and Community Association Managers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/management/property-real-estate-and-community-association-managers.htm) 3. 3.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## See the property management companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Real estate is the most fragmented trade on this site. The Census Bureau counts about 164,000 brokerage offices with paid employees and about 824,000 agent and broker businesses with no employees at all, because most agents work as independent contractors under a broker. BLS says most brokers and sales agents are self-employed. NAR alone had about 1.44 million members in June 2026. That structure matters for any list: the brokerage decides on office-wide tools (transaction software, the CRM it pays for, signage, compliance), while each agent spends their own money on marketing, photos, leads and coaching. Google Maps reflects both: brokerage offices list under the brand, and many agents keep their own Business Profile with a personal name, a cell number and their own reviews. ## How many real estate agents are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 163,894 establishments in **Offices of real estate agents and brokers (NAICS 531210)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 22,558 | 13.8% | | 2 | Florida | 21,144 | 12.9% | | 3 | Texas | 11,405 | 7.0% | | 4 | Colorado | 7,456 | 4.5% | | 5 | North Carolina | 6,880 | 4.2% | | 6 | New York | 6,584 | 4.0% | | 7 | Arizona | 6,269 | 3.8% | | 8 | Georgia | 6,227 | 3.8% | | 9 | Washington | 5,670 | 3.5% | | 10 | Illinois | 4,933 | 3.0% | | 11 | Virginia | 4,254 | 2.6% | | 12 | South Carolina | 3,337 | 2.0% | | 13 | Ohio | 3,312 | 2.0% | | 14 | Minnesota | 3,247 | 2.0% | | 15 | Utah | 3,171 | 1.9% | | 16 | Pennsylvania | 3,092 | 1.9% | | 17 | Oregon | 2,900 | 1.8% | | 18 | Indiana | 2,682 | 1.6% | | 19 | Missouri | 2,550 | 1.6% | | 20 | Michigan | 2,548 | 1.6% | | 21 | Massachusetts | 2,359 | 1.4% | | 22 | New Jersey | 2,315 | 1.4% | | 23 | Nevada | 2,295 | 1.4% | | 24 | Maryland | 2,264 | 1.4% | | 25 | Wisconsin | 2,071 | 1.3% | | 26 | Idaho | 1,841 | 1.1% | | 27 | Tennessee | 1,637 | 1.0% | | 28 | Oklahoma | 1,614 | 1.0% | | 29 | Alabama | 1,582 | 1.0% | | 30 | Kentucky | 1,450 | 0.9% | | 31 | Kansas | 1,318 | 0.8% | | 32 | Iowa | 1,195 | 0.7% | | 33 | Louisiana | 1,156 | 0.7% | | 34 | Arkansas | 1,145 | 0.7% | | 35 | Nebraska | 1,131 | 0.7% | | 36 | Montana | 1,100 | 0.7% | | 37 | Maine | 814 | 0.5% | | 38 | Connecticut | 755 | 0.5% | | 39 | New Mexico | 746 | 0.5% | | 40 | Hawaii | 594 | 0.4% | | 41 | Mississippi | 577 | 0.4% | | 42 | South Dakota | 456 | 0.3% | | 43 | Wyoming | 447 | 0.3% | | 44 | Rhode Island | 418 | 0.3% | | 45 | Delaware | 417 | 0.3% | | 46 | North Dakota | 373 | 0.2% | | 47 | Alaska | 371 | 0.2% | | 48 | New Hampshire | 363 | 0.2% | | 49 | District of Columbia | 352 | 0.2% | | 50 | West Virginia | 276 | 0.2% | | 51 | Vermont | 243 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a real estate agent lead list Every row is one real estate agent business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for real estate agents: | Field | Why it matters for real estate agents | | --- | --- | | **business and category** | The business name tells you at a glance whether the row is a brokerage office ("Coldwell Banker Realty, Plano") or an agent profile ("Jane Smith, REALTOR"). Use the two differently: offices for brokerage-level tools, agent profiles for individual marketing services. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Agent profiles usually link to a personal site or a page on the brokerage site with the agent's own address. Brokerage offices publish an office inbox. Up to 5 emails per business, each with its role and source page, let you pick the right one. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **website** | Agents whose Maps link points to a generic brokerage page, or to nothing, are the clearest prospects for agent websites, IDX sites and personal branding. | | **rating and reviews** | Review count is one of the few public signals of how active an agent is. An agent with 150 five-star reviews runs a real business; one with three reviews may be part-time or new. | | **phone** | Agent profiles often list a cell number, and agents answer calls and texts fast. For many offers a call or text after the email works better than a second email. | | **instagram, facebook, youtube, tiktok** | Agents market themselves on social media more than almost any other local trade. The social links show who already makes video and who needs help with it. | | **address, city, postal\_code, in\_area** | Agents farm specific neighborhoods and ZIP codes. Drawing the exact area you serve keeps out agents who list a downtown office but sell somewhere else. | | **first\_seen** | New agent profiles appear constantly as people get licensed or switch brokerages. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) sends only the new ones, which are the agents most likely to be buying their first set of tools. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every real estate agent No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** real estate agent, realtor, real estate agency, real estate broker, real estate brokerage, real estate office, listing agent, buyers agent, luxury real estate agent, commercial real estate agency, commercial real estate broker, real estate team, homes for sale, relocation real estate agent, new construction real estate agent, land broker, farm and ranch real estate, condo real estate agent, real estate consultant, property listing agent, keller williams, coldwell banker, re/max, century 21, exp realty. **Google Maps categories:** Real estate agency, Real estate agent, Real estate consultant, Commercial real estate agency, Real estate rental agency, Real estate developer. Leadraft includes these in its [Real estate keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#real-estate) (46 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to real estate agents, and what works - **Real estate photographers, videographers and drone operators.** Target listing agents and high-review agents in your service area. Show one before-and-after listing and your turnaround time. Agents decide fast and buy per listing. - **Agent website, IDX and real estate marketing agencies.** Pitch agents whose Maps profile links to a generic brokerage page or has no site. A personal domain and a page per neighborhood is a concrete, easy-to-picture offer. - **Brokerages recruiting agents.** Recruiting is the biggest outbound use in this trade. Filter agent profiles by area and reviews, then lead with split, fees and support. Keep it short: agents get recruiting emails every week. - **Mortgage lenders, title companies and home inspectors.** Referral partnerships are local and personal. Lead with speed and communication on closings, and offer something useful for their clients, such as a co-branded buyer guide. - **Real estate software (CRM, transaction management, showing tools).** Sell office-wide tools to brokerage offices and team leaders; sell per-seat tools to individual agents. Mixing the two in one campaign confuses both. - **Home stagers, cleaners, movers and sign installers.** These are listing-driven services. A short note with your price list and area served, sent to agents with a steady review history, beats a long pitch. ## How to segment and qualify a real estate agent list ### Brokerage offices vs individual agents Brokerage offices usually carry the brand in the business name and use the "Real estate agency" category; agent profiles carry a person's name and often use "Real estate agent". Filter the leads table on category, then scan the names, to split the list in two before you write. ### By brand vs independent Add brand names ("keller williams", "re/max", "exp realty") as search terms to cover franchise offices, then filter by business name. Independent boutique brokerages are often easier to sell to: the owner decides alone. ### Residential vs commercial Run "commercial real estate agency" and "commercial real estate broker" as separate lines. Commercial brokers buy differently (longer deals, fewer clients, more research tools) and should get a different message. ### Active agents by review count Sort by reviews. Agents with dozens of recent reviews close deals regularly and spend on marketing; profiles with no reviews are often new licensees or part-time agents. ### Agents without their own website Filter for rows with no website, or a website on the brokerage's domain. That's the agent-website and personal-branding list. ### By ZIP code or neighborhood Agents think in farm areas. Search ZIP by ZIP or draw the neighborhood, so your list matches the way agents describe their own market. ## How to reach real estate agents ### Know who you're writing to: broker or agent Agents are mostly independent contractors. They can buy marketing for themselves, but they can't sign up the whole office. For office-wide tools write to the managing broker or broker-owner; for personal services write to the agent. ### The 2024 NAR settlement changed what agents worry about Since August 17, 2024, under the NAR settlement practice changes, offers of buyer-agent compensation are no longer shown on MLS listings, and buyers working with an agent sign a written agreement first. Buyer agents now have to explain their value up front, so offers that help them do that (presentations, content, buyer-consultation tools) land better than they did before. ### Time it around the market's week Weekends are for showings and open houses. Monday and Tuesday mornings are when agents catch up. Spring is busy; late fall and winter are when agents plan and buy tools for the next year. ### Follow CAN-SPAM, and don't mention their listings carelessly Agent emails are B2B messages, so CAN-SPAM applies in the US: a truthful subject line, a postal address and a working opt-out. Many agent profiles are sole proprietors using personal names, so treat the data with care and honor opt-outs fast.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Real estate agents lead lists: questions How many real estate agents are there in the US? NAR reported 1,439,163 members as of June 18, 2026, and not every licensed agent is a member. BLS counts about 530,600 broker and sales agent jobs in 2025. The Census Bureau counts about 164,000 brokerage offices with paid employees and about 824,000 agent and broker businesses with no employees (2023). Google Maps lists brokerage offices plus many individual agent profiles, so a Maps list mixes both. Can I get a real estate agent email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include agents just outside it. You can also run one ZIP at a time to match agents' farm areas. Does the list include individual agents or only brokerages? Both, as far as Google Maps lists them. Brokerage offices appear under the brand, and many agents have their own Business Profile with their name, phone and reviews. Agents without their own profile won't appear separately, though their emails sometimes show up on the brokerage's website. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the agent's or brokerage's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. How much does a real estate agent email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a county search finds 3,500 offices and agent profiles and you export 900 verified emails, that's 3,500 business credits and 900 checked-email credits, which fits in Starter at $19. Run it again next quarter and you only pay for the new ones. Can I find newly licensed agents? Not from license records: Leadraft works from Google Maps, not state licensing databases. What you can do is set a monitor on your area, which sends only businesses that newly appear on Maps, including new agent profiles. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 531210)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Establishments with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2023 Nonemployer Statistics (US file, NAICS 53121)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/nonemployer-statistics/datasets/2023/historical-datasets/nonemp23us.zip) · Businesses with no paid employees, mostly self-employed agents. 3. 3.[National Association of REALTORS, "Even in a tougher market, Realtors are holding their ground" (2026)](https://nar.realtor/news/real-estate-news/even-in-a-tougher-market-realtors-are-holding-their-ground) 4. 4.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Real Estate Brokers and Sales Agents](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/sales/real-estate-brokers-and-sales-agents.htm) 5. 5.[National Association of REALTORS, settlement facts](https://www.nar.realtor/the-facts) 6. 6.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## See the real estate agents in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Remodeling is one of the largest and most fragmented contractor trades. The Census Bureau counted 135,337 residential remodeler establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 236118), and 93% had fewer than 10 staff. California (16,792), New York (13,427) and Florida (10,287) lead by a long way, then Texas (6,224), Illinois (6,209), Pennsylvania (5,935) and Washington (5,175). Most firms are an owner who sells and runs jobs, a lead carpenter and subcontractors. Design-build firms add a designer and a showroom. The owner decides on nearly everything, and buys on trust: referrals, reviews and reps who show up. Renovators working in homes built before 1978 generally need EPA lead-safe (RRP) certification. ## How many remodeling contractors are there in each state? California, New York and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 135,337 establishments in **Residential remodelers (NAICS 236118)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for remodeling contractors: | Field | Why it matters for remodeling contractors | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Kitchen remodeler and Bathroom remodeler are tight segments; Remodeler and General contractor are broad. Handyman rows are small jobs and a different budget. | | **website** | The portfolio and service pages say what they remodel and whether they design in-house. A showroom page or design team marks a design-build firm with a bigger budget. | | **email + grade** | Most remodelers publish an office or estimates address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, so it's a maybe. | | **rating + reviews** | Homeowners pick remodelers on reviews. Firms with many recent reviews are busy and buying; firms with few need marketing and lead generation. | | **instagram / facebook / youtube** | Before-and-after content sells remodels. Active profiles mark marketing-minded firms; missing ones are a pitch for content and social help. | | **address + hours** | A street address with weekday and Saturday hours often means a showroom. Service-area listings with no hours are usually owner-run crews. | | **phone** | Owners take calls on job sites. Call early, by hand, and follow the TCPA. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every remodeling contractor No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** remodeling contractor, home remodeler, kitchen remodeler, kitchen remodeling contractor, bathroom remodeler, bathroom remodeling contractor, basement finishing contractor, basement remodeling, home renovation contractor, whole house remodeling, design build remodeler, home addition contractor, adu builder, garage conversion contractor, shower remodel, walk in tub installer, aging in place remodeler, cabinet refacing, countertop installer, home improvement contractor, handyman service, interior remodeling, historic home renovation, condo renovation contractor. **Google Maps categories:** Remodeler, Kitchen remodeler, Bathroom remodeler, General contractor, Construction company, Handyman/Handywoman/Handyperson, Cabinet maker, Countertop store. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to remodeling contractors, and what works - **Cabinet, countertop, tile and fixture suppliers.** Remodelers specify products for their clients. Recruit them as trade accounts with pricing, samples and lead times, starting with kitchen and bath specialists. - **Remodeling software.** CRM, estimating, selections, scheduling and client portals. Owners want faster estimates and fewer change-order fights; lead with hours saved per estimate. - **Home-improvement marketing and lead-gen agencies.** Remodelers live on a steady flow of qualified leads. Show the owner their rank for "kitchen remodeler near me" and how their reviews compare with the top three nearby. - **Consumer financing providers.** Financing closes larger remodels. Pitch higher close rates and bigger tickets, with a simple application the owner can use in the kitchen. - **Subcontractors and trades.** Plumbers, electricians, drywall, tile setters and painters can list every remodeler in their area and ask to be on the sub list. - **Insurance and certification training.** General liability, builder's risk, and EPA RRP lead-safe training and renewals. Remodelers need all three to work in older homes. ## How to segment and qualify a remodeling contractor list ### Kitchen and bath specialists Search kitchen and bathroom terms separately and filter by category. These firms buy cabinets, counters, tile and fixtures, and are the core accounts for suppliers. ### Design-build vs crew remodelers Design-build firms have designers, showrooms and bigger budgets. Crew remodelers are owner-led and price-driven. Use the website and address columns to split them. ### Remodelers vs builders vs handymen Many firms overlap. Send new construction firms to a [home builder](https://leadraft.co/leads/home-builders) list and keep handyman rows apart: their tickets are smaller and they buy differently. For both, see [general contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/general-contractors). ### Older housing markets Remodeling demand follows housing age. Draw polygons around older suburbs and city neighborhoods rather than new-build exurbs. ### Weak online presence No website, under 20 reviews or no portfolio photos: the best targets for marketing and web offers, and a gap you can name in your first line. ### New remodelers A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new remodeling listings on Google Maps, when the owner is opening trade accounts and buying software. ## How to reach remodeling contractors ### Reach the owner early or late Owners sell estimates in the evening and run jobs in the day. Send emails to land early morning or evening, and call before 8 a.m. ### Plan around the season Homeowners plan remodels in late winter and spring. Marketing and lead-gen offers land best in January and February; supplier pitches work year-round. ### Lead with tickets and close rates Remodelers think in average job size and close rate. Frame your offer as one more closed job a month or a higher average ticket. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Many remodelers list a cell phone, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Remodeling contractors lead lists: questions How do I find remodeling contractor leads? Choose the area, then search Google Maps for every variant: remodeling contractor, kitchen remodeler, bathroom remodeler, basement finishing contractor, home addition contractor, design build remodeler and home renovation contractor. Remove duplicates, keep the on-trade rows, and find and check an email for each business. Leadraft does those steps in one search and charges each business once. How many remodeling contractors are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 135,337 residential remodeler establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 236118). Owner-operators with no payroll aren't counted, and handymen are often classified elsewhere, so Google Maps shows even more. Can I get only kitchen and bath remodelers? Yes. Search the kitchen and bathroom terms and filter by category. Leadraft keeps each business's Google Maps categories, so Kitchen remodeler and Bathroom remodeler rows can be separated from general remodelers and handymen. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the business's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the business's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a remodeling contractor email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 16,792 residential remodelers with employees (Census 2023), which fits in the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, with 1,000 checked emails); Growth ($49) gives 5,000 checked emails. The whole US count of 135,337 needs Pro ($99 a month for 300,000 businesses and 15,000 checked emails). Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each business publishes on its own website, often reaching the owner at small firms, with the role and source of each. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 236118, Residential Remodelers)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, summed across states.

Restaurants are the densest local vertical there is. The Census Bureau counted about 618,500 eating places with employees in 2023: roughly 258,600 full-service restaurants (NAICS 722511), 270,100 limited-service ones such as counter-service and fast food (722513), and the rest cafeterias, buffets, coffee shops and snack bars. The largest states are California (about 79,700), Texas (53,200), New York (44,900) and Florida (39,200). It is a mix of franchise units, multi-unit groups and single-location independents. Independents are run by an owner or a general manager who decides on most vendors the same week; chains and franchisees buy through a corporate or franchise office, and some categories (POS, uniforms, food supply) are often fixed by the brand. Turnover is high, so last year's list is already out of date. ## How many restaurants are there in each state? California, Texas and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 618,476 establishments in **Restaurants and other eating places (NAICS 7225)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 79,696 | 12.9% | | 2 | Texas | 53,191 | 8.6% | | 3 | New York | 44,870 | 7.3% | | 4 | Florida | 39,216 | 6.3% | | 5 | Illinois | 23,334 | 3.8% | | 6 | Pennsylvania | 22,254 | 3.6% | | 7 | Ohio | 20,682 | 3.3% | | 8 | Georgia | 20,048 | 3.2% | | 9 | North Carolina | 19,414 | 3.1% | | 10 | New Jersey | 18,701 | 3.0% | | 11 | Michigan | 16,941 | 2.7% | | 12 | Virginia | 15,936 | 2.6% | | 13 | Washington | 15,030 | 2.4% | | 14 | Massachusetts | 14,609 | 2.4% | | 15 | Tennessee | 12,351 | 2.0% | | 16 | Arizona | 11,974 | 1.9% | | 17 | Colorado | 11,631 | 1.9% | | 18 | Indiana | 11,578 | 1.9% | | 19 | Missouri | 10,657 | 1.7% | | 20 | Maryland | 10,438 | 1.7% | | 21 | Wisconsin | 10,230 | 1.7% | | 22 | South Carolina | 9,731 | 1.6% | | 23 | Oregon | 9,348 | 1.5% | | 24 | Minnesota | 8,869 | 1.4% | | 25 | Alabama | 8,126 | 1.3% | | 26 | Louisiana | 8,018 | 1.3% | | 27 | Connecticut | 7,560 | 1.2% | | 28 | Kentucky | 6,987 | 1.1% | | 29 | Oklahoma | 6,882 | 1.1% | | 30 | Nevada | 6,211 | 1.0% | | 31 | Utah | 5,499 | 0.9% | | 32 | Iowa | 5,367 | 0.9% | | 33 | Kansas | 5,128 | 0.8% | | 34 | Arkansas | 5,075 | 0.8% | | 35 | Mississippi | 4,982 | 0.8% | | 36 | New Mexico | 3,500 | 0.6% | | 37 | Nebraska | 3,488 | 0.6% | | 38 | Idaho | 3,328 | 0.5% | | 39 | Hawaii | 3,205 | 0.5% | | 40 | Maine | 3,025 | 0.5% | | 41 | New Hampshire | 2,989 | 0.5% | | 42 | West Virginia | 2,809 | 0.5% | | 43 | Rhode Island | 2,561 | 0.4% | | 44 | Montana | 2,297 | 0.4% | | 45 | District of Columbia | 2,110 | 0.3% | | 46 | Delaware | 1,980 | 0.3% | | 47 | South Dakota | 1,577 | 0.3% | | 48 | Alaska | 1,383 | 0.2% | | 49 | North Dakota | 1,343 | 0.2% | | 50 | Vermont | 1,206 | 0.2% | | 51 | Wyoming | 1,111 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a restaurant lead list Every row is one restaurant business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for restaurants: | Field | Why it matters for restaurants | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Independents usually publish one address (info@, hello@, events@) that the owner or GM reads. The grade tells you whether it's a confirmed mailbox (**Verified**) or a domain that accepts any address (**Accept-all**, a maybe, never a yes). Many small restaurants use a free Gmail or Yahoo address, which is fine to send to as long as it's Verified. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Restaurants with private dining or catering often list separate addresses for events, catering, careers and press. The role and the page each was found on let you pick the right one: an events coordinator for a booking tool, the general inbox for a POS pitch. | | **category / categories** | Cuisine and format in one column. A pizza oven dealer, a sushi-grade fish supplier and a breakfast-only POS add-on each want a different slice, and fast food rows are usually franchise units you may want to exclude. | | **price\_level** | Google's $ to $$$$ band is the quickest proxy for ticket size. Upscale rooms buy reservations software, wine programs and linen service; $ places care about speed, delivery and labor cost. | | **hours** | Tells you who serves breakfast, who closes Mondays and who is open late. Use it to segment (brunch spots, late-night kitchens) and to time calls for when the kitchen isn't slammed. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tracks covers and age. A place with 2,000 reviews is busy and established; one under 4.0 with recent complaints is a lead for reputation, training or consulting offers. | | **website + website\_platform** | No website, or only a social page, is the classic opening for restaurant web design and online ordering. The platform column, where detected, shows who is on a site builder. | | **instagram / tiktok / facebook / yelp** | Restaurants live on social. A missing or quiet Instagram is a lead for social and content agencies; a Yelp link shows where reviews are being left beyond Google. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every restaurant No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** restaurant, family restaurant, fine dining restaurant, casual dining restaurant, fast food restaurant, fast casual restaurant, american restaurant, mexican restaurant, italian restaurant, pizza restaurant, chinese restaurant, thai restaurant, sushi restaurant, indian restaurant, steak house, seafood restaurant, barbecue restaurant, breakfast restaurant, brunch restaurant, diner, hamburger restaurant, taco restaurant, vegan restaurant, food truck, bar and grill, takeout restaurant. **Google Maps categories:** Restaurant, American restaurant, Mexican restaurant, Italian restaurant, Pizza restaurant, Chinese restaurant, Japanese restaurant, Sushi restaurant, Thai restaurant, Indian restaurant, Fast food restaurant, Family restaurant, Fine dining restaurant, Steak house, Seafood restaurant, Barbecue restaurant, Breakfast restaurant, Brunch restaurant, Hamburger restaurant, Diner, Bar & grill. Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to restaurants, and what works - **Restaurant marketing, social media and web design agencies.** Name a visible gap: no website, no menu on the site, a quiet Instagram, or fewer reviews than the three nearest competitors. Offer one concrete fix, such as a menu page that loads on a phone. - **POS, online ordering and reservation software.** Pitch the owner or GM on money they can count: commission saved against third-party delivery apps, fewer no-shows, faster table turns. Segment by price level and format, because quick service and fine dining buy different features. - **Food, beverage and equipment suppliers.** Specialty distributors, coffee roasters, breweries working through their distributor, kitchen equipment dealers. Filter by cuisine and area so a rep's route stays tight, and lead with a sample drop or tasting. - **Staffing, payroll and HR platforms.** Hiring never stops in restaurants. Lead with a specific pain: last-minute shift cover, tip pooling, scheduling across two locations. Multi-unit groups are worth more, so group rows by website domain. - **Service contractors: hood cleaning, pest control, grease trap, linen.** These are recurring, often inspection-driven services. Say which ones you handle, how fast you can come, and that you can work around service hours (overnight or before open). ## How to segment and qualify a restaurant list ### Independents vs chains and franchise units Group rows by website domain. One domain across dozens of rows is a chain or franchise system that buys centrally; contact the head office or franchisee group, not each unit. Single-domain rows are the independents who decide locally. ### By format and price level Combine category and price\_level: $$$-$$$$ full service, $-$$ quick service, breakfast and brunch, bars with food. Each has different volume, margins and tools. ### By cuisine Specialty suppliers (tortillas, sushi rice, pizza flour, halal meat) should search by cuisine term and keep only the matching categories. The on-topic filter removes rows that don't fit the trade you searched. ### Weak online presence Filter for no website, rating under 4.0 or few reviews. These are the leads for marketing, website, ordering and review offers, and you can name the gap in the first line. ### Late-night and weekend-heavy Use hours to find kitchens open after 10pm or closed early in the week. Security, cleaning, delivery and staffing vendors care about these schedules. ### Newly opened restaurants A new restaurant is buying POS, payroll, linen, pest control and marketing in its first months. Set up a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area and get new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach restaurants ### Stay out of the rush Never call between 11am and 2pm or after 5pm. The window that works is about 2pm to 4pm, Tuesday to Thursday, when the GM is doing paperwork between services. Monday is often a day off or a closed day, so check the hours column. ### Reach the owner or GM, not the host stand The general inbox is read by whoever has time. Keep emails short, name the restaurant and one specific observation, and ask for the person who handles your topic. For chains, the decision sits with the franchisee or corporate. ### Show up with something tangible Restaurants respond to samples, tastings, a mock-up of their own menu page, or a number in dollars. Long feature lists don't get read. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, and many small restaurants list a cell phone, so call by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ### Refresh the list often Restaurants open and close constantly, so a list bought last year carries closures and new owners. Re-run your area before each campaign: Leadraft charges each business once, so restaurants you already have cost nothing again. Keep a [suppression list](https://leadraft.co/glossary/suppression-list) so opt-outs stay out. ## How to find restaurant leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Restaurants lead lists: questions How many restaurants are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 618,476 restaurants and other eating places with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 7225), including 258,626 full-service and 270,088 limited-service restaurants. The National Restaurant Association counts more than 1 million restaurant and foodservice outlets, a wider definition that includes foodservice outside restaurants. Google Maps counts differ again, because they include owner-only places and food trucks. Can I get a restaurant email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area on the map, set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only restaurants inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), so you don't pay for places outside your territory. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the restaurant's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the restaurant's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a restaurant email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per restaurant, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Illinois had about 23,300 eating places with employees in 2023 (Census). A statewide list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month); for 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49) covers it in a month. Texas, at about 53,200, fits Growth's 100,000 businesses. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one neighborhood first. Can I filter out fast food chains? Yes. Search for the formats you want, exclude categories such as Fast food restaurant, and group by website domain: a domain that appears on dozens of rows is a chain. What's left is mostly independents and small local groups. Do you include the owner's name or personal email? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails the restaurant publishes on its own website, each with its role and source, plus the phone, hours and social profiles from its Google Maps listing. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 7225, 722511, 722513)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[National Restaurant Association: 2026 State of the Restaurant Industry press release (Feb 12, 2026)](https://www.restaurant.org/research-and-media/media/press-releases/persistent-cost-increases-and-enduring-demand-will-shape-the-restaurant-industry-in-2026) · More than 1 million outlets, 15.7 million employees, $1.55 trillion projected 2026 sales. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the restaurants in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Restoration is an emergency trade. Most work starts with a burst pipe, a kitchen fire, a storm or a mold problem, and most of it is paid by a property insurance claim. There is no single federal count for the whole trade. The Census Bureau counted 5,826 remediation establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 562910), a code that covers mold remediation, asbestos and lead abatement and contaminated-site cleanup. Many water and fire restoration firms are classified under construction or building-services codes instead, so the real number of restoration businesses on Google Maps is larger. In the remediation count, California (511), Florida (446), Texas (420) and New York (376) lead. The market mixes national franchise brands, whose local units are independently owned, with independent firms that often grew out of carpet cleaning or general contracting. Owners buy for speed: anything that gets them to the job first, documents it for the adjuster or gets them paid faster. ## How many restoration companies are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 5,826 establishments in **Remediation services (NAICS 562910)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for restoration companies: | Field | Why it matters for restoration companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits water and fire firms from mold, biohazard and asbestos specialists, and catches carpet cleaners and contractors that also do restoration. A drying-equipment dealer and a biohazard supply house want different rows. | | **email + grade** | Restoration firms usually publish an office or dispatch address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger firms list separate addresses for estimating, billing, careers and commercial accounts. The role and the page each was found on let you skip the emergency inbox and write to the person who runs the business side. | | **website** | Franchise units share one brand domain. Grouping by domain tells you which rows are franchise locations that may buy through head office and which are independents that decide locally. | | **hours** | Most restoration firms list 24 hours because they take emergency calls. A firm that lists only business hours is often smaller or a side line of a cleaning or contracting company. | | **rating + reviews** | Homeowners pick a restoration firm in a panic, often from the map. Firms with few reviews next to competitors with hundreds are the natural targets for review and local SEO offers. | | **phone** | The listed number is usually a 24-hour dispatch line or an answering service. Calling it to sell something ties up the line they use for jobs, so email first and call the office number if one is listed on the site. | | **address + service\_area + in\_area** | Many firms are service-area businesses that cover several counties. Use the area and distance columns to keep only firms that work in your territory. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** water damage restoration, water damage restoration service, flood damage restoration, water extraction service, basement flooding cleanup, burst pipe cleanup, sewage cleanup service, fire damage restoration, smoke damage restoration, fire and water restoration, soot cleanup service, mold remediation, mold removal service, mold inspection service, storm damage restoration, emergency restoration service, disaster restoration company, biohazard cleanup, crime scene cleanup, trauma cleanup service, hoarding cleanup service, asbestos abatement, lead abatement contractor, odor removal service, contents restoration, structural drying service, commercial restoration contractor. **Google Maps categories:** Water damage restoration service, Fire damage restoration service, Carpet cleaning service, Air duct cleaning service, Asbestos testing service, Environmental consultant, General contractor. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to restoration companies, and what works - **Drying and restoration equipment dealers.** Dehumidifiers, air movers, air scrubbers, moisture meters and thermal cameras. Lead with availability before storm season and rental or financing for firms that need to add capacity fast. - **Restoration marketing and lead-gen agencies.** Emergency searches like "water damage restoration near me" are expensive on ads. Show the owner where they rank on the map in their main ZIP codes and how many reviews the top three firms have. - **Estimating, job management and moisture-mapping software.** Firms live and die on documentation for the adjuster. Pitch faster estimates, photo and moisture logs, and fewer disputes on the final invoice. - **Plumbers, roofers and property managers building referral networks.** Plumbers and roofers see water damage first. A short note proposing a two-way referral, with your service area, is an easy yes for many owners. - **Insurance, bonding and fleet providers.** Restoration firms carry general liability, pollution liability for mold work, workers' comp and vans. A quick quote and certificates of insurance turned around the same day is the hook. - **Staffing and training providers.** Big storms create sudden demand for technicians. Offer surge labor or certification courses (water, fire, mold) with dates before the season starts. ## How to segment and qualify a restoration company list ### Water and fire vs mold and biohazard Run separate searches for water and fire terms, mold terms, and biohazard or crime scene terms. Use the category column to tag each row. Mold and biohazard firms buy different gear and insurance, and they often work for different clients. ### Franchise vs independent Group rows by website domain. One domain across many locations is a franchise system: pitch the franchisor for software and national deals, and the local owner for local marketing and labor. ### Restoration as a side line Carpet cleaners, plumbers and general contractors often add restoration. Their primary category shows what they really are. They are good targets for training and equipment, less so for restoration-only software. ### Storm and flood markets Draw the area around coastal counties, river valleys or hail belts and build the list before the season. After an event, firms are too busy to read email. ### Weak online presence Filter for firms with no website, fewer than 30 reviews, or a rating under 4.0. Our guide on [finding businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews) shows how to turn that into a first line. ### Newly opened firms New restoration franchises and independents open every year and need equipment, insurance and marketing at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach restoration companies ### Write between events, not during them After a hurricane, flood or freeze, owners work around the clock and ignore sales email. Send in the quiet weeks, and pause campaigns in a region when a major event hits it. ### Don't sell on the emergency line The phone on the listing is how homeowners reach them in a crisis. Use email first. If you call, ask for the office or the owner and keep it short. ### Speak to the claim Most jobs are paid by insurance, so owners care about getting approved and paid. Offers framed as faster approvals, fewer supplements or shorter days to payment land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Restoration companies lead lists: questions How do I find restoration company leads? Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, mold remediation and biohazard cleanup. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only firms inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each firm's website and checks every one before you export. How many restoration companies are there in the US? There is no single official count for the whole trade. The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 5,826 remediation establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 562910), which covers mold, asbestos and lead abatement. Many water and fire restoration firms are classified under construction or building-services codes, and owner-only firms have no payroll, so Google Maps shows more restoration businesses than that count. Can I get a list of only mold remediation companies? Yes. Search mold terms (mold remediation, mold removal service, mold inspection service) and use the category column to drop rows that are only carpet cleaners or general contractors. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can build a mold-only list or a water and fire list from the same area. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the firm's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the firm's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a restoration company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 420 remediation establishments with employees (Census 2023), and water and fire firms add more. Even a Texas list several times that size fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one metro first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each firm publishes on its own website, often an office or estimating address and sometimes a named owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 562910, Remediation Services)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[NAICS 562910 Remediation Services: definition and example activities](https://www.ibisworld.com/classifications/naics/562910/remediation-services) · Covers cleanup of contaminated buildings and sites, asbestos and lead abatement, mold remediation, biohazard and crime scene cleanup. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the restoration companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counted about 25,500 roofing contractors with employees in 2023, and 80% had fewer than 10 people on payroll. Many more crews work as subcontractors or one-person outfits without payroll, so the number of roofers on Google Maps is higher than the Census count. California (about 2,900), Texas (2,400) and Florida (2,200) lead by a wide margin, followed by Illinois, Washington and Colorado. The trade splits into residential retail roofers (sell to homeowners, often through insurance claims), storm-restoration companies that follow hail and hurricanes, and commercial roofers that bid flat-roof work to property managers and general contractors. Owners make the buying decisions; larger companies add a sales manager and an office manager. ## How many roofers are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 25,519 establishments in **Roofing contractors (NAICS 238160)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 2,926 | 11.5% | | 2 | Texas | 2,442 | 9.6% | | 3 | Florida | 2,215 | 8.7% | | 4 | Illinois | 1,026 | 4.0% | | 5 | Washington | 990 | 3.9% | | 6 | Colorado | 920 | 3.6% | | 7 | Ohio | 908 | 3.6% | | 8 | Pennsylvania | 876 | 3.4% | | 9 | New York | 838 | 3.3% | | 10 | North Carolina | 816 | 3.2% | | 11 | Georgia | 806 | 3.2% | | 12 | Indiana | 557 | 2.2% | | 13 | Virginia | 556 | 2.2% | | 14 | Arizona | 542 | 2.1% | | 15 | Minnesota | 530 | 2.1% | | 16 | Oregon | 515 | 2.0% | | 17 | Michigan | 509 | 2.0% | | 18 | Missouri | 503 | 2.0% | | 19 | Wisconsin | 499 | 2.0% | | 20 | Massachusetts | 433 | 1.7% | | 21 | Tennessee | 423 | 1.7% | | 22 | Oklahoma | 409 | 1.6% | | 23 | New Jersey | 374 | 1.5% | | 24 | Utah | 354 | 1.4% | | 25 | Maryland | 341 | 1.3% | | 26 | Alabama | 305 | 1.2% | | 27 | South Carolina | 300 | 1.2% | | 28 | Idaho | 291 | 1.1% | | 29 | Kansas | 290 | 1.1% | | 30 | Iowa | 289 | 1.1% | | 31 | Louisiana | 267 | 1.0% | | 32 | Nebraska | 267 | 1.0% | | 33 | Kentucky | 255 | 1.0% | | 34 | Arkansas | 236 | 0.9% | | 35 | New Mexico | 204 | 0.8% | | 36 | Connecticut | 176 | 0.7% | | 37 | Montana | 152 | 0.6% | | 38 | Nevada | 121 | 0.5% | | 39 | Mississippi | 115 | 0.5% | | 40 | Maine | 110 | 0.4% | | 41 | South Dakota | 105 | 0.4% | | 42 | West Virginia | 98 | 0.4% | | 43 | Hawaii | 95 | 0.4% | | 44 | Wyoming | 86 | 0.3% | | 45 | Vermont | 84 | 0.3% | | 46 | Rhode Island | 79 | 0.3% | | 47 | New Hampshire | 75 | 0.3% | | 48 | Alaska | 69 | 0.3% | | 49 | North Dakota | 69 | 0.3% | | 50 | Delaware | 67 | 0.3% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 6 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a roofer lead list Every row is one roofer business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for roofers: | Field | Why it matters for roofers | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Roofers usually publish one address (info@, office@, estimates@). The grade separates confirmed mailboxes (**Verified**) from domains that accept anything (**Accept-all**, a maybe). Small crews often use Gmail, which reaches the owner directly. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Storm-restoration companies and larger retail roofers list addresses for estimates, insurance claims, careers and sales. The role and source page help you write to the right one. | | **category / categories** | Exclude Roofing supply store unless you sell to distributors. Siding and gutter categories show who sells full exteriors, which is a bigger account than roof-only. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count shows how many jobs a roofer closes; a sudden pile of new reviews often marks a storm-chasing outfit. Low counts next to strong competitors are the pitch for review and reputation services. | | **website + website\_platform** | Roof replacements are expensive jobs that homeowners research online, and many roofers still have no site or a template one. That's the opening for web design, SEO and ad agencies. | | **address + lat/lng + in\_area** | Storm work is about geography. Draw the hail swath or hurricane landfall area as a polygon and every row tells you whether the roofer is inside it. Local roofers in a storm area are busy for months and buying. | | **phone** | Answered by the owner or an office person. For small crews it's usually a cell phone, which matters under the TCPA. | | **facebook / instagram / youtube** | Roofers post before-and-after drone shots. An active Facebook page with no website is a common pattern and a clear gap to point out. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every roofer No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** roofer, roofing contractor, roofing company, roof repair, roof replacement, residential roofing contractor, commercial roofing contractor, metal roofing contractor, tile roofing contractor, shingle roofing, flat roof repair, tpo roofing contractor, storm damage roof repair, hail damage roofing, emergency roof repair, roof inspection, roof leak repair, slate roofing, cedar shake roofing, gutter installation, gutter cleaning service, skylight installation, siding contractor, exterior remodeling contractor. **Google Maps categories:** Roofing contractor, Gutter cleaning service, Siding contractor, Skylight contractor, Construction company, General contractor, Roofing supply store. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to roofers, and what works - **Roofing marketing agencies (SEO, PPC, door-knocking tools).** Show them the cost of "roof replacement" clicks in their metro and where they rank. Lead with one fact from the row: no website, few reviews, or competitors with three times their reviews. - **Roofing software (measurement reports, CRM, estimating, canvassing).** Aerial measurement, instant estimates and claim tracking. Target companies with 50+ reviews and a sales team, and offer a free measurement report on one of their own jobs. - **Shingle and metal manufacturers, distributors.** Contractor certification programs, branch accounts and delivery. Segment by distance from your yard and by category (metal, tile, commercial flat roof). - **Insurance, bonding and financing providers.** Roofing has high workers' comp and liability costs. Offer quotes to newly listed roofers, and homeowner financing to retail roofers who sell replacements without an insurance claim. - **Staffing and labor providers.** After a big storm, local roofers need crews fast. Use the storm polygon to find every roofer inside it and send a short, specific offer within the first week. ## How to segment and qualify a roofer list ### Residential vs commercial Search "commercial roofing contractor", "flat roof repair" and "tpo roofing contractor" separately. Commercial roofers bid to property managers and GCs, and buy different software and materials. ### Storm-restoration roofers Names and sites mentioning storm, hail or insurance claims mark restoration companies. They buy canvassing, claim software and temporary labor, and their phones are busiest right after events. ### By material Metal, tile, slate and cedar specialists are smaller lists with higher-value jobs. Use material-specific search terms and the category columns. ### Full exterior companies Roofers that also list Siding contractor or gutter categories sell larger tickets and have an office. Good targets for financing and CRM. ### Weak online presence No website, under 4.0 stars or fewer than 20 reviews. The clearest leads for marketing agencies. ### New roofing companies New roofers often appear in a market after a storm. Set up a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area to get them as they are added to Google Maps. ## How to reach roofers ### Roofers are on roofs in daylight Crews start at dawn, especially in summer heat. Owners answer email in the evening and on rainy days. Send in the late afternoon and expect replies after 6 pm or the morning after a rain-out. ### Know the storm calendar Hail season in the Plains and Texas runs roughly spring to early summer, and hurricane season in the Gulf and Southeast runs June to November. Roofers in a fresh storm area are swamped; sell them labor and software that helps now, and sell marketing in the slow winter months. ### Be direct and specific Roofers get a lot of agency spam. Skip compliments. Name the city, one fact about their business and one result in numbers: "8 more inspections a month in Plano." Under 100 words, no attachments. ### Follow the TCPA and CAN-SPAM Most small roofers list a cell phone. Autodialed or prerecorded calls and marketing texts to wireless numbers need prior consent under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't text cold. Email needs honest subject lines, your physical address and a working opt-out. See our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find roofer leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Roofers lead lists: questions How many roofing companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted about 25,500 roofing contractors with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 238160), employing about 215,000 people. That count leaves out one-person companies without payroll, so Google Maps shows more roofers than that. The BLS counted 166,900 roofer jobs in 2025. Can I get a roofer email list for a specific city, state or storm area? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw any shape on the map (a hail swath, for example), set a radius, or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps only roofers inside your area, or inside plus nearby if you choose, and doesn't charge for the rest. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the roofer's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a roofing contractor email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas had about 2,400 roofing contractors with employees in 2023 (Census); Google Maps will show more because it includes one-person outfits. Even at 5,000 Texas roofers, the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month) covers the businesses; for 2,500 verified emails, use Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) or take them over three months on Starter, since unused credits roll over. The Free plan gives 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month. Will the list include roofing supply stores? Only if you want them. Each row carries its Google Maps category, and Leadraft's on-topic filter keeps the list to the trade you searched. You can exclude Roofing supply store or keep it if you sell to distributors. Is this a list of roofing leads (homeowners who need a roof)? No. It's a list of roofing businesses, for companies that sell to roofers: agencies, software, suppliers, insurers and staffing firms. Roofers looking for homeowners need a different product. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 238160, Roofing Contractors)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Roofers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/roofers.htm) · 166,900 jobs in 2025. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the roofers in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Private RV parks and campgrounds are mostly family-owned, seasonal businesses, with a growing number of branded networks and investor-owned RV resorts. The Census Bureau counted 5,016 RV park and campground establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 721211), led by Texas (484), California (357), Florida (276), New York (224), Michigan (221), Pennsylvania (210) and Wisconsin (187). Parks run by the owner's family with no payroll aren't in that count, and government-run campgrounds in state and national parks aren't in County Business Patterns, so Google Maps shows many more listings. Parks earn from nightly, monthly and seasonal sites, cabins, a camp store and events. Owners buy reservation software, Wi-Fi, utilities and pedestals, cabins and glamping units, marketing and insurance, and brokers court them when parks change hands. ## How many rV parks and campgrounds are there in each state? Texas, California and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 5,016 establishments in **RV (recreational vehicle) parks and campgrounds (NAICS 721211)** across 49 states (one withheld) in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Texas | 484 | 9.6% | | 2 | California | 357 | 7.1% | | 3 | Florida | 276 | 5.5% | | 4 | New York | 224 | 4.5% | | 5 | Michigan | 221 | 4.4% | | 6 | Pennsylvania | 210 | 4.2% | | 7 | Wisconsin | 187 | 3.7% | | 8 | Washington | 186 | 3.7% | | 9 | Arizona | 163 | 3.2% | | 10 | Ohio | 157 | 3.1% | | 11 | North Carolina | 146 | 2.9% | | 12 | Minnesota | 142 | 2.8% | | 13 | Maine | 141 | 2.8% | | 14 | Oregon | 141 | 2.8% | | 15 | Tennessee | 118 | 2.4% | | 16 | Colorado | 115 | 2.3% | | 17 | Virginia | 97 | 1.9% | | 18 | Missouri | 96 | 1.9% | | 19 | Utah | 93 | 1.9% | | 20 | Indiana | 89 | 1.8% | | 21 | South Dakota | 85 | 1.7% | | 22 | Montana | 84 | 1.7% | | 23 | Idaho | 77 | 1.5% | | 24 | New Hampshire | 77 | 1.5% | | 25 | New Jersey | 77 | 1.5% | | 26 | Illinois | 71 | 1.4% | | 27 | Georgia | 70 | 1.4% | | 28 | Alabama | 67 | 1.3% | | 29 | New Mexico | 66 | 1.3% | | 30 | South Carolina | 54 | 1.1% | | 31 | Oklahoma | 51 | 1.0% | | 32 | Kentucky | 49 | 1.0% | | 33 | Massachusetts | 48 | 1.0% | | 34 | Wyoming | 48 | 1.0% | | 35 | Nevada | 44 | 0.9% | | 36 | Vermont | 40 | 0.8% | | 37 | Arkansas | 39 | 0.8% | | 38 | Louisiana | 38 | 0.8% | | 39 | Mississippi | 37 | 0.7% | | 40 | Iowa | 36 | 0.7% | | 41 | Connecticut | 34 | 0.7% | | 42 | Alaska | 33 | 0.7% | | 43 | West Virginia | 33 | 0.7% | | 44 | Maryland | 28 | 0.6% | | 45 | Nebraska | 22 | 0.4% | | 46 | Kansas | 20 | 0.4% | | 47 | North Dakota | 18 | 0.4% | | 48 | Rhode Island | 15 | 0.3% | | 49 | Delaware | 12 | 0.2% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a RV park lead list Every row is one RV park business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for rV parks and campgrounds: | Field | Why it matters for rV parks and campgrounds | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits RV parks from tent campgrounds, glamping sites and mobile home parks. A pedestal and utility supplier wants RV parks; a glamping tent maker wants campgrounds and glamping sites. | | **email + grade** | Parks usually publish a reservations or office address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger parks list separate addresses for reservations, groups and events, and management. The role and the page each was found on help you skip the reservations inbox and reach the owner or manager. | | **website (domain)** | Branded networks and resort groups share one domain across many parks. Group by domain to separate groups that buy centrally from family-owned parks. | | **website + contact\_form** | Many small parks still take bookings by phone or email. A park with no website, or a site with no online booking, is the lead for reservation software and web vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Campers pick parks on reviews. Review count is a fair proxy for occupancy, and a low rating with many reviews points to problems that Wi-Fi, utilities or management vendors can fix. | | **hours** | Seasonal parks list closed months or short office hours. Use them to time outreach for the off-season, when owners plan purchases. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every RV park No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** rv park, rv resort, campground, rv campground, private campground, family campground, tent camping, cabin campground, camping cabins, glamping, glamping site, rv park monthly rates, long term rv park, rv sites, full hookup rv park, lakeside campground, beach campground, mountain campground, kids campground, pet friendly rv park, 55+ rv resort, snowbird rv park, mobile home and rv park, rv dump station. **Google Maps categories:** RV park, Campground, Glamping campground, Mobile home park, Cabin rental agency, Resort hotel. Leadraft includes these in its [Food & hospitality keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#food-hospitality) (79 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to rV parks and campgrounds, and what works - **Campground reservation and management software.** Online booking, site maps, seasonal billing and channel listings. Pitch the owner on fewer phone bookings and higher occupancy on weekdays. - **Campground Wi-Fi and utility suppliers.** Campers who work on the road expect Wi-Fi that works. Pedestals, electrical upgrades for larger rigs, water and sewer work are capital projects owners plan in the off-season. - **Cabin, park model and glamping unit makers.** Rentable cabins and glamping tents earn more per site than an RV pad. Lead with payback per unit and delivery before next season. - **Brokers, investors and lenders.** Buyers want family-owned parks in target regions. Filter out group domains and write to the owner with a short, respectful note. - **Travel and outdoor marketing agencies.** Campers search "rv park near me" and "campground near \[town\]" on the road. Show the owner where they rank on the map and how their reviews compare with nearby parks. - **Camp store and propane suppliers.** Camp stores sell firewood, ice, propane, RV supplies and snacks. A wholesale account with simple ordering and delivery is easy to say yes to. ## How to segment and qualify a RV park list ### RV parks vs tent and cabin campgrounds Use the category column to split RV park rows from Campground and Glamping campground rows. Each buys different infrastructure and markets to different campers. ### Snowbird and long-stay parks Search snowbird and long term RV park terms in Florida, Texas, Arizona and the Gulf Coast. Long-stay parks run like small residential communities and buy accordingly. ### Destination and seasonal parks Draw the area around lakes, beaches and national park gateways. Seasonal parks in the north close for winter, which is the best time to reach owners. ### Family-owned vs branded Group rows by website domain. Branded and resort networks buy centrally; family-owned parks decide locally and are the main targets for brokers and small vendors. ### Newly opened parks New RV parks and glamping sites need software, marketing and supplies at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach rV parks and campgrounds ### Sell in the off-season From Memorial Day to Labor Day most owners are running check-ins, maintenance and events. Late fall and winter are when they plan upgrades and read vendor email. ### Get past reservations The published address and phone are usually for bookings. Keep the first email short and ask who handles your topic, or write to a management address when the site lists one. ### Lead with occupancy and rate Owners count occupied site nights, average nightly rate and seasonal renewals. Offers framed in those numbers land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many family-run parks list an owner's cell phone, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## RV parks and campgrounds lead lists: questions How do I find RV park leads? Pick the area you sell into (a county, a state, a ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as rv park, rv resort, campground, glamping and long term rv park. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only parks inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each park's website and checks every one before you export. How many RV parks and campgrounds are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 5,016 RV park and campground establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 721211). Texas has the most (484), then California (357) and Florida (276). Family-run parks with no payroll aren't counted, and public campgrounds in state and national parks aren't in County Business Patterns, so Google Maps shows many more listings. Can I leave out state and national park campgrounds? Mostly, yes. Public campgrounds often have no website of their own, or a government website, and their names usually include "State Park" or the agency. Check the website and name columns and drop those rows before you export, or keep them as a separate list. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the park's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the park's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does an RV park email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per park, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. The whole US has about 5,000 RV parks and campgrounds with employees (Census 2023), and Google Maps shows more. A national list of 10,000 parks still fits the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, 1,000 checked emails). If you want 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one state first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each park publishes on its own website, often a reservations or office address and sometimes a named owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 721211, RV (Recreational Vehicle) Parks and Campgrounds)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the rV parks and campgrounds in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The security systems trade has a few national alarm and monitoring brands with large workforces and thousands of small local dealers and integrators. The Census Bureau counted 7,151 security systems services establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 561621, which covers installing, monitoring and servicing alarm, camera and access systems), employing about 128,000 people, and at least two thirds had fewer than 10 staff. California (781), Florida (681), Texas (681) and New York (531) lead, then New Jersey (283), Pennsylvania (251) and Georgia (234). Local companies split into residential alarm and smart home dealers, often selling monitoring contracts, and commercial integrators who install cameras, access control and fire alarms for businesses. Many states license alarm companies and technicians, California, Texas and Florida among them. The owner or a sales manager decides at small firms; larger integrators have purchasing and operations managers. ## How many security system companies are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 7,151 establishments in **Security systems services (except locksmiths) (NAICS 561621)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023.

These are the columns that matter most for security system companies: | Field | Why it matters for security system companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates alarm and camera installers from fire protection, home automation and guard companies. Security guard service rows are a different business, so leave them out unless you sell to both. | | **website** | Service pages show residential vs commercial work, the brands and platforms they install, and often a state license number. That's how you segment dealers and integrators. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Integrators often list sales@, service@, billing@ and careers@ addresses.

Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to security system companies, and what works - **Security equipment distributors and manufacturers.** Cameras, NVRs, panels, sensors, access readers and cable. Recruit independent dealers in metros where you have no coverage, and lead with dealer pricing, stock and tech support hours. - **Monitoring centers and platforms.** Wholesale central-station monitoring and interactive platforms are sold to dealers who own the customer. Pitch recurring revenue per account and response times. - **Field-service and alarm business software.** Quoting, service tickets, recurring billing and inspection reports. Integrators want faster quotes and cleaner service scheduling. - **Funding and account acquisition firms.** Alarm monitoring contracts are bought and financed. Firms buying accounts can reach every local dealer in a region with a short note about valuation. - **Businesses and property managers.** Managers putting cameras or access control out to bid can list every integrator near their buildings and invite quotes. ## How to segment and qualify a security system company list ### Residential dealers vs commercial integrators Residential dealers sell alarms, cameras and smart home with monitoring; commercial integrators install access control, video and fire systems for businesses. Split by search term and the website's service pages. ### Fire alarm and fire protection Fire alarm companies work on inspections and code compliance and buy different panels. Search fire alarm terms separately and keep the category columns. ### Low-voltage and AV crossover Low-voltage, structured cabling and home automation firms often install cameras and access control too. They overlap with [electricians](https://leadraft.co/leads/electricians) and IT providers, and buy cable and networking gear. ### Independents vs national brands Group by website domain. One domain across many listings is a national or regional brand that buys centrally; independents buy locally and decide fast. ### Locksmith overlap Many commercial locksmiths install access control. Pair this list with [locksmiths](https://leadraft.co/leads/locksmiths) if you sell electronic locks or readers. ### New dealers A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new security listings on Google Maps, when the owner is choosing a distributor and a monitoring center. ## How to reach security system companies ### Write for the owner or sales manager At small dealers the owner buys equipment and picks the monitoring partner. Keep it short, name one product line they install, and ask a direct question. ### Mornings before installs Technicians leave for jobs early and owners sell during the day. Mid-morning emails and calls before 9 a.m. tend to reach the decision maker. ### Speak in RMR Alarm companies value recurring monthly revenue (RMR). Frame offers as added RMR per account, lower attrition or faster installs. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor.

Self-storage is a real estate business run like a retail one. A facility is a piece of land, rows of units, a gate and an office, often with one manager or none at all. The Census Bureau counted 18,564 self-storage and miniwarehouse lessor establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 531130), led by Texas (2,304), California (2,247), Florida (1,581), Georgia (705), New York (702) and North Carolina (645). Unstaffed sites without their own payroll aren't all in that count, so Google Maps shows more storage locations. Ownership splits between large public operators and management companies running hundreds of sites under one brand, and a long tail of local owners with one to a few facilities. Owners and managers buy for occupancy and rent: marketing, management software, gates and access control, security cameras, insurance for tenants, and eventually brokers when they sell. ## How many self-storage facilities are there in each state? Texas, California and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 18,564 establishments in **Lessors of miniwarehouses and self-storage units (NAICS 531130)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Texas | 2,304 | 12.4% | | 2 | California | 2,247 | 12.1% | | 3 | Florida | 1,581 | 8.5% | | 4 | Georgia | 705 | 3.8% | | 5 | New York | 702 | 3.8% | | 6 | North Carolina | 645 | 3.5% | | 7 | Illinois | 572 | 3.1% | | 8 | Washington | 535 | 2.9% | | 9 | Arizona | 530 | 2.9% | | 10 | Virginia | 511 | 2.8% | | 11 | Colorado | 489 | 2.6% | | 12 | Ohio | 468 | 2.5% | | 13 | New Jersey | 454 | 2.4% | | 14 | Tennessee | 444 | 2.4% | | 15 | Pennsylvania | 415 | 2.2% | | 16 | Indiana | 350 | 1.9% | | 17 | Oregon | 332 | 1.8% | | 18 | Massachusetts | 330 | 1.8% | | 19 | Alabama | 328 | 1.8% | | 20 | Louisiana | 322 | 1.7% | | 21 | South Carolina | 320 | 1.7% | | 22 | Maryland | 314 | 1.7% | | 23 | Michigan | 312 | 1.7% | | 24 | Nevada | 286 | 1.5% | | 25 | Missouri | 285 | 1.5% | | 26 | Oklahoma | 276 | 1.5% | | 27 | Utah | 205 | 1.1% | | 28 | New Mexico | 189 | 1.0% | | 29 | Kentucky | 188 | 1.0% | | 30 | Minnesota | 176 | 0.9% | | 31 | Arkansas | 168 | 0.9% | | 32 | Idaho | 166 | 0.9% | | 33 | Connecticut | 164 | 0.9% | | 34 | Wisconsin | 143 | 0.8% | | 35 | Mississippi | 142 | 0.8% | | 36 | Kansas | 124 | 0.7% | | 37 | New Hampshire | 104 | 0.6% | | 38 | Montana | 89 | 0.5% | | 39 | Iowa | 82 | 0.4% | | 40 | Maine | 72 | 0.4% | | 41 | Nebraska | 72 | 0.4% | | 42 | Hawaii | 64 | 0.3% | | 43 | Delaware | 56 | 0.3% | | 44 | Wyoming | 54 | 0.3% | | 45 | Rhode Island | 50 | 0.3% | | 46 | South Dakota | 48 | 0.3% | | 47 | Alaska | 45 | 0.2% | | 48 | West Virginia | 42 | 0.2% | | 49 | Vermont | 25 | 0.1% | | 50 | North Dakota | 20 | 0.1% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 19 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a self-storage facility lead list Every row is one self-storage facility business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for self-storage facilities: | Field | Why it matters for self-storage facilities | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits self-storage from RV and boat storage, warehouses and moving-and-storage companies. A gate and access vendor sells to all of them; a unit-rental software vendor wants the Self-storage facility rows. | | **website (domain)** | The most important field for this trade. Hundreds of sites can share one operator's domain. Group by domain to separate large operators that buy centrally from independent owners who decide locally. | | **email + grade** | Facilities often publish a site address or a general rentals address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Independent owners sometimes list a manager address and an owner or office address. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the person who decides. | | **rating + reviews** | Renters compare facilities on reviews. Independents with few reviews or a low rating next to branded competitors are the natural targets for marketing and reputation offers. | | **hours** | Office hours and gate hours differ. Short office hours or none suggest an unstaffed site that may use remote management or kiosks, useful for software and call-center vendors. | | **address + lat/lng** | Location is the asset. Coordinates let brokers, developers and lenders map supply around a site or across a metro before an acquisition or a new build. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every self-storage facility No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** self storage, self storage facility, storage units, storage facility, mini storage, climate controlled storage, indoor storage, drive up storage units, 24 hour storage, rv storage, boat storage, vehicle storage, car storage, covered parking storage, portable storage containers, storage container rental, mobile storage, business storage, document storage, wine storage, warehouse storage, moving and storage. **Google Maps categories:** Self-storage facility, Storage facility, RV storage facility, Boat storage facility, Moving and storage service, Warehouse. Leadraft includes these in its [Real estate keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#real-estate) (46 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to self-storage facilities, and what works - **Self-storage brokers and acquirers.** Buyers want independent facilities in target markets. Draw the metro as a polygon, filter out large operator domains and write to the owner with a short, respectful note about what similar sites have traded for. - **Self-storage marketing and SEO agencies.** "Storage units near me" is the core search. Show the owner where they rank on the map, how their reviews compare with the nearest branded facility, and whether renters can reserve online. - **Management software and remote management services.** Online rentals, automated move-ins, billing, call centers and kiosks. Pitch the owner on running more sites with fewer staff hours. - **Gate, access control and security vendors.** Keypads, smart locks, cameras and gate systems. Lead with theft prevention and app-based access that renters now expect. - **Tenant insurance and protection plan providers.** Tenant protection and insurance plans are something facilities sell at move-in. Offer a clear revenue share and simple setup in their existing software. - **Builders, steel building suppliers and lenders.** Owners expanding or converting land need steel buildings, construction and financing. Target independents with high review counts, a sign of strong demand. ## How to segment and qualify a self-storage facility list ### Independent vs large operator Group rows by website domain. One domain across dozens of sites is a large operator or third-party manager; one domain with one to five sites is an independent owner. Most brokers, agencies and software sellers want the second group. ### RV, boat and vehicle storage Search RV, boat and vehicle storage terms separately. These sites cluster near lakes, coasts and HOA-heavy suburbs and buy different things (paving, covered parking, security). ### Portable storage Portable container companies are logistics businesses with trucks and yards. Keep them as their own list and pair them with our [moving company email list](https://leadraft.co/leads/moving-companies). ### Weak online presence Filter for facilities with no website, a rating under 4.0 or fewer than 30 reviews. Many independents still take rentals only by phone, which is the opening for online rental offers. ### Newly opened facilities New facilities need to fill units fast and buy marketing, software and insurance programs at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach self-storage facilities ### Managers aren't owners The person in the office is usually a site manager who can't sign for software or a sale. Ask them who handles your topic, or write to the owner or office address when the site lists one. ### Busy season is summer Move-ins peak in late spring and summer, when people move house and students leave campus. Fall and winter are better for selling to owners and managers. ### Lead with occupancy and rent Owners track occupancy, rent per square foot and delinquency. Offers framed as more rentals, higher street rates or fewer late payments land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Self-storage facilities lead lists: questions How do I find self-storage facility leads? Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as self storage, storage units, climate controlled storage, RV storage and boat storage. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only facilities inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each facility's website and checks every one before you export. How many self-storage facilities are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 18,564 self-storage and miniwarehouse lessor establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 531130). Texas has the most (2,304), then California (2,247) and Florida (1,581). Unstaffed sites without their own payroll aren't all counted, so Google Maps shows more storage locations than the Census figure. Can I get a list of only independent storage facilities? Yes. Export the list and group rows by website domain. Large operators use one domain across many sites, so removing domains that appear on more than a handful of rows leaves mostly independent owners. Leadraft's leads table lets you filter and save that view. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the facility's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the facility's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a self-storage email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per facility, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 2,304 self-storage establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one metro first. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each facility publishes on its own website, often a site or rentals address and sometimes an owner or office address, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 531130, Lessors of Miniwarehouses and Self-Storage Units)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the self-storage facilities in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Most smoke shops are small, owner-run stores, and many owners run two or three locations. The Census Bureau counted 21,082 tobacco stores with employees in 2023 (NAICS 453991). California (2,347), Florida (1,762) and Texas (1,644) lead, then North Carolina (948), New York (926), Pennsylvania (862) and Illinois (800). Shops that call themselves vape, CBD or head shops may be classified elsewhere, so Google Maps usually shows more of them than the Census count. The trade is regulated heavily and changes often: the federal minimum age of sale is 21, and states and cities add their own licensing, flavor and product rules. Owners buy from distributors and directly from brands, and switch suppliers quickly when products or rules change. ## How many smoke shops are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 21,082 establishments in **Tobacco stores (NAICS 453991)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023.

Lead with what's selling in nearby stores, your margin, and the compliance status of each product. See [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product). - **Distributors and wholesalers.** Owners compare suppliers on price, stock and delivery speed. A reliable next-day delivery and clear compliance paperwork win accounts. - **POS and payment processors.** Many processors treat tobacco and vape as high-risk, so owners look for stable processing and POS with ID scanning. Be clear about what you support. Our [merchant services leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/merchant-services-leads) guide covers the approach. - **Security, cameras and signage.** Shops carry high-value stock and cash and stay open late. Cameras, alarms and signage are steady needs; lead with loss prevention. - **ATM placement.** Cash-heavy shops are natural ATM hosts. Lead with the revenue share and the extra traffic. ## How to segment and qualify a smoke shop list ### Vape shops Search vape shop, vape store and e-cigarette store separately and filter on the Vaporizer store category. Vape products face the most rule changes, so keep this list separate. ### Cigar shops and lounges Cigar shops and lounges sell premium products, often with a walk-in humidor and seating. They buy from premium brands and suit humidor, ventilation and lounge furniture vendors. ### Hookah Hookah stores and hookah lounges buy hookahs, shisha, coals and accessories. Lounges are also hospitality businesses with food, drink and ventilation needs. ### Head shops and glass Head shops sell glass and accessories and often CBD. Rules on what they may sell vary by state, so build these lists state by state. ### Multi-store owners Group by name and website domain. Owners with several shops buy more and decide for all their stores at once. ### New shops Shops open and close often. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area flags new smoke shop listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach smoke shops ### Tobacco and vape marketing has its own rules Selling and marketing tobacco and vape products comes with federal, state and local rules, including the federal minimum age of 21 and rules on product authorization, flavors, labeling and how products are promoted. These apply on top of the general email rules. Know them for each place you sell and get legal advice. This page isn't legal advice. ### Write to the business, about business Your email goes to the shop as a business customer. Keep it about wholesale terms, margins and compliance, not consumer-style promotion. ### Expect phone and visits Many shops have no email. Use the list's emails where they exist and the phone column for the rest; call in the afternoon and ask when the owner is in. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 21,082 tobacco stores with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 453991). Shops that call themselves vape, CBD or head shops may be classified elsewhere, and owner-only shops aren't counted, so Google Maps usually shows more. California (2,347), Florida (1,762) and Texas (1,644) have the most. Can I get a list of only vape shops? Yes. Search vape shop, vape store and e-cigarette store, and filter on the category column. Leadraft records each shop's Google Maps categories, so you can keep Vaporizer store rows and drop cigar and hookah shops. Is it legal to email smoke shops? Emailing a shop about your products is B2B marketing under CAN-SPAM. Selling and promoting tobacco and vape products has its own federal, state and local rules, including age-of-sale laws. Check the rules for each place you sell and get legal advice. This isn't legal advice. How much does a smoke shop email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per shop, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has 1,762 tobacco stores with employees (Census 2023). A Florida list of that size, with up to 1,000 verified emails, fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). A nationwide list of about 21,000 shops also fits Starter's business credits; for 5,000 verified emails, Growth ($49) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the shop's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the shop's own website, with the page each was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 453991, Tobacco Stores)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · State file, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Food and Drug Administration: Tobacco 21](https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/retail-sales-tobacco-products/tobacco-21) · Federal minimum age of sale for all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, is 21, effective Dec. 20, 2019. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the smoke shops in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Solar installers have no NAICS code of their own: the Census Bureau files them under electrical, plumbing and HVAC, or roofing contractors, so there's no clean government count of installer businesses. The best workforce measure is IREC's National Solar Jobs Census, which counted 280,119 solar workers in 2024, nearly two-thirds of them in installation and project development. California, Florida, Texas, New York and Massachusetts employ the most. The census was surveyed before the 2025 federal tax-credit changes, so it doesn't show their effect. The market runs from national installers and sales-dealer networks to local electricians and roofers who added solar, plus commercial EPCs. Small installers are owner-run and buy panels, inverters, batteries, financing, permitting help and leads; many also sell batteries, EV chargers and roofing. ## What's in a solar installer lead list Every row is one solar installer business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for solar installers: | Field | Why it matters for solar installers | | --- | --- | | **email + grade** | Solar companies publish sales and info addresses on their sites. The grade shows whether the mailbox is confirmed (**Verified**) or the domain accepts everything (**Accept-all**, a maybe). | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Installers often list separate addresses for sales, service and partnerships or dealer programs. A partnerships@ address is exactly where a distributor or financing pitch belongs. | | **category / categories** | Separates dedicated solar companies from electricians and roofers who also install solar, and from equipment suppliers. Decide whether those overlaps belong in your list. | | **website + website\_platform** | Solar sells online, so the website says a lot: whether they offer batteries, financing, commercial work. Out-of-state sales outfits often share a domain across many listings. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a good proxy for install volume. A long list of recent complaints can signal service backlogs, which is a pitch for O&M and repair partners. | | **address + in\_area** | Many solar listings are sales offices or service-area businesses. Use your area and scope settings to keep only companies based in the market you want. | | **linkedin / facebook / youtube** | Commercial installers are active on LinkedIn; residential installers on Facebook and YouTube. Useful for multichannel follow-up and for checking whether a company is still active. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every solar installer No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** solar installer, solar panel installer, solar energy company, solar company, solar contractor, residential solar installer, commercial solar contractor, solar panel installation, solar energy contractor, solar battery installer, home battery installation, solar panel repair, solar panel cleaning service, solar roofing contractor, off grid solar installer, solar epc contractor, community solar, solar water heater installer, ev charger installation, solar electrician, solar panel maintenance. **Google Maps categories:** Solar energy company, Solar energy system service, Solar energy equipment supplier, Solar hot water system supplier, Electrician, Roofing contractor. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to solar installers, and what works - **Equipment distributors and manufacturers.** Panels, inverters, batteries and racking. Installers compare on availability, price and warranty support. Segment by region and by whether they advertise batteries. - **Solar financing and lease providers.** Residential installers need loans, leases or PPAs to close deals, and options changed after the 2025 tax-credit changes. Pitch approval rates and dealer fees, with specifics. - **Design, permitting and software vendors.** Proposal software, plan sets and permitting services. Pitch the owner on faster time from signed contract to install. - **Marketing and lead-gen agencies.** Solar companies spend heavily on customer acquisition. Show a local gap: few reviews, no battery content, a slow or missing quote form. - **O&M, cleaning and repair partners.** Installers that have done thousands of systems need service help, and orphaned systems from closed installers need new owners. Offer subcontracted service. ## How to segment and qualify a solar installer list ### Residential vs commercial Search "residential solar installer" and "commercial solar contractor" separately. Commercial EPCs work on bids and longer cycles; residential installers sell to homeowners every day. ### Solar-only vs electrician or roofer Electricians and roofers that added solar are a different buyer: solar is part of the business, not all of it. Use categories to split them. ### Battery and EV Installers that list battery storage and EV chargers are where the market is heading. Good targets for storage hardware and electrical suppliers. ### Local vs national National installers and sales dealers show up in many cities under one domain. Group by website to separate them from local companies that decide locally. ### New entrants A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area catches newly listed solar companies, who need suppliers, financing and software first. ## How to reach solar installers ### Owners are on roofs in the morning Crews start early. Owners and sales managers read email early morning or after 3 p.m. Mid-week works best. ### Lead with policy and margin, not hype Installers are dealing with tax-credit changes, tariffs and interest rates. A short note that shows you understand their margin pressure lands better than a generic pitch. ### Expect skepticism of lead sellers Most installers have been burned by shared-lead vendors. Say plainly what you sell, what it costs and what you don't do. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out you honor. For calls and texts the TCPA applies, and installers know it well from their own homeowner sales, so dial by hand and never text without consent. See our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice. ## How to find solar installer leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Solar installers lead lists: questions How many solar installers are there in the US? There's no official count of solar installer businesses, because solar has no NAICS code of its own: installers are filed as electrical, plumbing or roofing contractors. IREC's National Solar Jobs Census counted 280,119 solar workers in 2024, with 178,713 in installation and project development. A Google Maps search for your area is the practical way to count companies. Can I get a solar installer email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county or ZIP code, draw an area, set a radius or upload a KML file. Leadraft keeps companies inside your area (or inside plus nearby, if you choose), and you aren't charged for businesses outside it. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page they were found on. How much does a solar installer email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. As an example, if a statewide search returns 2,000 solar companies and you take out 1,200 verified emails, Starter ($19: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month) covers the businesses and most of the emails, and the rest come next month; Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) does it at once. The Free plan (500 businesses, 50 checked emails) is enough to test a metro. Does the list include electricians and roofers who install solar? It can. Many installers are filed on Google Maps as electricians or roofing contractors. Search solar terms and keep or drop those categories with the category filter in the leads table. Is a solar installer list the same as solar leads? No. "Solar leads" usually means homeowners who want panels, sold to installers. A solar installer email list is a list of the installers themselves, for businesses that sell to them: equipment, financing, software and services. ## Sources 1. 1.[IREC, National Solar Jobs Census 2025 (2024 data)](https://irecusa.org/programs/solar-jobs-census/) · 280,119 solar workers in 2024; 178,713 in installation and project development.

The International Spa Association counts 22,060 spa locations in the US, with $23.5 billion in revenue and 376,900 people employed as of January 2026. The market runs from one-room massage studios to independent day spas to large resort and hotel spas. The Census Bureau files day spas and massage parlors under NAICS 812199, together with tattoo parlors and tanning salons, and that code is largest in California (3,882 establishments), Florida (2,869), New York (2,656) and Texas (2,637). A typical day spa has an owner, a spa manager or director, and a front desk that books appointments. Massage therapists are often self-employed: the BLS says 36% work for themselves, so many small massage studios are one or two people. Med spas, which offer medical treatments under a physician, are a different business with different buyers; see our [med spa list](https://leadraft.co/leads/med-spas). ## What's in a spa lead list Every row is one spa business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for spas: | Field | Why it matters for spas | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits Day spa from Massage spa, Facial spa, Sauna and Wellness center. A massage-table supplier, a skincare brand and a float-tank maker each want a different slice. | | **email + grade** | Spas usually publish a booking or info address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe. Hotel and resort spas often use the hotel's domain, which may accept every address. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger spas list separate addresses for bookings, gift cards, events and careers. The role and source columns help you reach the spa director rather than the reservations inbox. | | **website + website\_platform** | Spas sell online: bookings, gift cards and memberships. A spa without online booking or gift card sales is a clear lead for software and web vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tracks visit volume. Spas with hundreds of reviews buy product in volume; spas with a rating under 4.0 need reputation work. | | **price\_level** | Where Google shows it, price level separates luxury day spas from budget massage studios. Premium skincare and linen brands want the first group. | | **hours** | Spas are busiest evenings and weekends. Hours also flag late-night massage studios, which are a different business from a day spa. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every spa No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** day spa, spa, massage spa, massage therapy, massage therapist, deep tissue massage, couples massage, thai massage, chinese massage, foot massage, reflexology, hot stone massage, prenatal massage, sports massage, facial spa, skin care clinic, esthetician, body wrap, korean spa, bathhouse, sauna, float spa, salt cave, wellness spa, resort spa, hotel spa. **Google Maps categories:** Day spa, Spa, Massage spa, Massage therapist, Thai massage therapist, Facial spa, Skin care clinic, Sauna, Public bath, Wellness center, Spa and health club. Leadraft includes these in its [Beauty & wellness keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#beauty-wellness) (50 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to spas, and what works - **Professional skincare and body care brands.** Back-bar products for facials and treatments, plus retail lines the spa resells. Lead with margin on retail and training for estheticians. - **Spa equipment and linen suppliers.** Massage tables, facial steamers, towel warmers, robes and linen service. Target day spas with high review counts, who replace equipment and linen most often. - **Booking, membership and gift card software.** Online booking, memberships, packages and gift cards sold through the website. Gift cards around the holidays are a strong, concrete hook. - **Marketing and web agencies.** Show the spa where it ranks for "day spa near me" and "couples massage" in its city, and how its reviews compare with the three nearest competitors. - **Staffing and continuing-education providers.** Spas struggle to hire licensed massage therapists and estheticians. Offer a hiring pipeline or continuing-education courses therapists need for license renewal. - **Insurance and merchant services.** Professional and general liability for therapists, and card processing for gift cards and memberships. A quote built around their actual service mix gets read. See [commercial insurance leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/commercial-insurance-leads). ## How to segment and qualify a spa list ### Day spas vs massage studios Run day spa terms and massage terms as separate searches and tag by category. Full-service day spas buy skincare, linen and software; small massage studios buy tables, oils and booking tools. ### Hotel and resort spas Search "resort spa" and "hotel spa" and group by website domain. The spa director decides on treatments, but purchasing may run through the hotel. See our [hotel lead list](https://leadraft.co/leads/hotels). ### Specialty wellness Float spas, salt caves, saunas, bathhouses and Korean spas buy specialized equipment. Search those terms on their own and keep them as a separate list. ### Price tier Use price level and rating together to find the premium end of the market. Luxury brands should start there; budget offers fit the rest. ### Newly opened spas A new spa needs equipment, products, software, insurance and a website at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new spa listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach spas ### Reach the spa director, not the front desk The published address is often the booking inbox. Keep the first email short, name the spa and one detail you noticed, and ask who handles your topic. In owner-run spas, the owner reads everything. ### Write Tuesday to Thursday mornings Spas are busiest evenings, weekends and before holidays. Midweek mornings, before the first appointments, are the best time to be read. Don't pitch in the weeks before Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, their peak gift card season. ### Plan around gift card season Spas plan holiday promotions in September and October. Offers that help them sell gift cards, packages or memberships land best in early fall. ### Avoid health claims If you sell products, don't promise medical outcomes in your emails. The FTC expects health claims to be backed by evidence. Keep pitches about the spa's business, not cures. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your setup. ## How to find spa leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above.

Each business is charged once, ever. ## Spas lead lists: questions How do I find spa leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search spa terms such as day spa, massage spa, facial spa, thai massage and sauna, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each spa's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many spas are there in the US? The International Spa Association's US Spa Industry Study counts 22,060 spa locations in 2025, with $23.5 billion in revenue. The Census Bureau doesn't count spas on their own: it files day spas and massage parlors under NAICS 812199, which had 31,863 establishments with paid employees in 2023 along with tattoo parlors and similar services. Google Maps will show more, because many one-person massage studios are listed too. How much does a spa email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per spa, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. ISPA counts 22,060 spa locations nationwide, so even a list of every spa in the country fits in one month of the Starter plan ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). For 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Can I get only day spas, without massage studios or med spas? Yes. Search day spa terms and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can keep Day spa rows and drop Massage therapist, Medical spa or Sauna rows, or the other way round. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the spa's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the spa's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include spa owners' names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each spa publishes on its own website, often a booking or info address and sometimes a named owner or director, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[International Spa Association: ISPA's 2026 "Big Five" statistics (US Spa Industry Study)](https://experienceispa.com/?p=18399) · 22,060 locations, $23.5 billion revenue, 191 million visits in 2025; 376,900 employees as of January 2026. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Massage Therapists](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/massage-therapists.htm) · 155,400 jobs in 2025; 36% self-employed; 33% in personal care services. 3. 3.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 state file (NAICS 812199, Other Personal Care Services)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23st.zip) · Establishments with paid employees, summed across states.

Staffing is a branch business. The Census Bureau counted 38,254 temporary help service establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 561320), and each establishment is usually a local branch. The American Staffing Association puts the industry at about 27,000 staffing and recruiting companies running close to 54,000 offices (2021 figures), so national brands with dozens of branches sit next to thousands of single-office independents. California (about 3,900 temp help establishments) and Texas (3,400) lead, then Michigan (2,800), Florida (2,100), Georgia (1,500), Illinois (1,500) and Pennsylvania (1,500). Branch managers run the local desk and recruit locally; software, insurance and payroll funding are often decided at head office for the chains and by the owner for independents. ## How many staffing agencies are there in each state? California, Texas and Michigan have the most. The Census Bureau counted 38,254 establishments in **Temporary help services (NAICS 561320)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for staffing agencies: | Field | Why it matters for staffing agencies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits temp and employment agencies from recruiters and executive search firms. They buy different software and sell to different clients, so tag rows before you write. | | **email + grade** | Branches often publish a branch inbox or a jobs address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. Chains often share one domain across every branch. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Agency sites list addresses for applicants, clients, payroll and the branch. The role and source page help you skip the applicant inbox, which gets hundreds of resumes a week, and reach the branch manager or owner. | | **website (domain)** | Group rows by domain to see which branches belong to one company. One domain across 40 branches is a chain that buys centrally; a domain with one branch is an independent whose owner decides. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | Industrial staffing branches sit near the warehouses and plants they serve. Distance and area columns let you build a list around an industrial corridor or a single county. | | **hours** | Branches that open at 5 or 6 a.m. are usually industrial and day-labor desks running early shifts. That's a quick way to find them, and to know when to call. | | **rating + reviews** | Staffing reviews mostly come from workers, not clients. Many reviews means high applicant volume; a low rating can mean a branch that needs better candidate communication, a pitch for texting and onboarding tools. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every staffing agency No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** staffing agency, staffing company, temp agency, temporary staffing agency, employment agency, temp to hire agency, recruiting agency, recruitment agency, recruiter, executive search firm, headhunter, light industrial staffing, warehouse staffing agency, manufacturing staffing, industrial staffing agency, construction staffing agency, healthcare staffing agency, nurse staffing agency, medical staffing agency, office staffing agency, administrative staffing, it staffing agency, accounting staffing agency, hospitality staffing agency, event staffing agency, day labor agency, security guard staffing. **Google Maps categories:** Employment agency, Temp agency, Recruiter, Executive search firm, Employment consultant. Leadraft includes these in its [Professional & B2B keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#professional-b2b) (66 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to staffing agencies, and what works - **Staffing software vendors.** Applicant tracking, onboarding, timekeeping, texting and VMS integrations. Branch managers want faster fills and fewer no-shows. Lead with time-to-fill or shifts filled per recruiter. - **Payroll funding and factoring companies.** Agencies pay workers weekly and often get paid by clients weeks later. Independents with one or two branches are the natural target; offer a clear advance rate and a fast start. - **Insurance brokers.** Workers' comp is a major cost for industrial staffing. Brokers who specialize in staffing comp and general liability should segment by industrial vs office and lead with a renewal review. - **Background check and drug testing providers.** Every placement needs screening. Offer turnaround times and per-check pricing, and target branches near clinics and industrial parks. - **Recruitment marketing and job board vendors.** Agencies compete for the same workers. Show a branch how its job posts and reviews compare with other agencies in the same ZIP. ## How to segment and qualify a staffing agency list ### Industrial vs office vs healthcare Run separate searches for light industrial, office and healthcare staffing terms and tag each row by the term that found it. Comp insurance, screening and software needs differ a lot between them. ### Chain branches vs independents Group by website domain. Chain branches share a domain and buy through head office, so pitch the corporate team once. Independents decide locally, and the owner is often the best contact. ### Recruiters and executive search Permanent placement firms and headhunters work on fees, not hourly bill rates. They buy sourcing and data tools rather than timekeeping, so keep them as their own segment. ### Early-shift branches Filter the hours column for branches opening before 7 a.m. Those are usually industrial or day-labor desks with high volume and constant hiring needs. ### Newly opened branches New branches and new agencies open often. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps, when they are choosing payroll, insurance and software. ## How to reach staffing agencies ### Branch managers are busiest early Mornings are dispatch and call-offs. Late morning to early afternoon, Tuesday to Thursday, tends to reach a branch manager at their desk. ### Avoid the applicant inbox The most visible address on a staffing site is often jobs@ or apply@. Use the role column to pick the branch, client or owner address, or your email lands in a pile of resumes. ### Lead with fill rate and cost Staffing runs on thin margins. Offers framed as shifts filled, no-shows reduced or cost per hire land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call branch lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Staffing agencies lead lists: questions How do I find staffing agency leads? Pick the city, county or ZIP code you sell into, search terms like staffing agency, temp agency, employment agency and recruiter, and let Leadraft collect every matching branch on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each agency's own website and checks every mailbox, so you export only Verified and Accept-all emails. How many staffing agencies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 38,254 temporary help service establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 561320). The American Staffing Association counts about 27,000 staffing and recruiting companies operating close to 54,000 offices (2021). The two measure different things: the Census code covers temporary help only, while placement agencies and executive search firms have their own NAICS codes (561311 and 561312). Can I get a list of only industrial or healthcare staffing agencies? Yes. Search only the terms for that segment (light industrial staffing, warehouse staffing agency, or nurse staffing agency, healthcare staffing agency) and tag each row by the term that found it. Many agencies cover several segments, so check their site before you rely on the tag. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the agency's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the agency's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a staffing agency email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per branch, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has about 3,900 temp help establishments with employees (Census 2023). A California-wide list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. I run a staffing agency. Can I use Leadraft to find clients? Yes. That's the other direction: search the employers you place workers with, like warehouses, manufacturers, [hospitals](https://leadraft.co/leads/hospitals) or [restaurants](https://leadraft.co/leads/restaurants), in your branch's area.

There's no official count of tattoo shops on their own. The Census Bureau files tattoo parlors under NAICS 812199, other personal care services, alongside day spas, massage parlors, tanning salons and piercing studios; that code had 31,863 establishments with paid employees in 2023, led by California (3,882), Florida (2,869), New York (2,656) and Texas (2,637). Tattoo shops are small and owner-run. Many artists work as independent contractors inside a shop, renting a station or splitting each session with the owner, so the owner buys the space, equipment and software while artists often buy their own ink and needles. Shops market on Instagram first, and most work by appointment with some walk-ins. ## What's in a tattoo shop lead list Every row is one tattoo shop business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for tattoo shops: | Field | Why it matters for tattoo shops | | --- | --- | | **instagram / facebook / tiktok** | Instagram is the tattoo portfolio. Most shops and artists post work there and take booking requests by DM. The social columns show where each shop is active, and a shop with no Instagram link on its site is rare and worth a look. | | **email + grade** | Shops usually publish one booking address, often on a Gmail account. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe. Booking inboxes get a lot of mail, so the subject line has to say what it's about. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger studios list a booking address plus one per artist. The role and source columns help you separate the owner or shop manager from individual artists. | | **website + contact\_form** | Many shops route bookings through a form that asks for placement, size and a reference image. The contact form column tells you where the shop takes inquiries. A shop without a booking form is a lead for web and booking vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Tattoo shops are judged on reviews and portfolios. High review counts mean a busy shop with several artists; low counts point to a new or private studio. | | **hours** | Most shops open around noon and stay open into the evening, and many close one or two days a week. Use the hours to time calls and to spot appointment-only studios. | | **category / categories** | Splits Tattoo shop from Body piercing shop, Tattoo removal service and Permanent make-up clinic. Ink suppliers sell to the first; laser and aftercare brands care about the others. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every tattoo shop No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** tattoo shop, tattoo studio, tattoo parlor, tattoo artist, custom tattoo, walk in tattoo, fine line tattoo, realism tattoo, traditional tattoo, black and grey tattoo, japanese tattoo, cover up tattoo, tattoo removal, laser tattoo removal, body piercing, piercing shop, ear piercing, cosmetic tattoo, microblading, permanent makeup, scalp micropigmentation, henna tattoo, private tattoo studio. **Google Maps categories:** Tattoo shop, Tattoo artist, Body piercing shop, Tattoo removal service, Permanent make-up clinic, Beauty salon. Leadraft includes these in its [Beauty & wellness keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#beauty-wellness) (50 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to tattoo shops, and what works - **Tattoo supply companies and ink brands.** Ink, needles, cartridges, machines, power supplies, gloves and barrier film. Reach the shop owner for bulk consumables and the artists for machines and ink. Fast shipping and consistent stock are the hook. - **Booking, deposit and consent-form software.** Deposits, digital consent and release forms, artist calendars and reminders. Pitch fewer no-shows and less time answering DMs. - **Aftercare and skincare brands.** Shops recommend and resell aftercare balms and films. Offer wholesale pricing, retail displays and a margin on every client who walks out with a product. - **Insurance providers.** Tattoo shops need general and professional liability, and many landlords ask for proof of cover. A fast quote that handles independent artists working in the shop is a real need. - **Marketing and web agencies.** Show how the shop ranks for "tattoo shop near me" and for its style (fine line, realism, cover up) in its city. Offer portfolio pages per artist that rank in search, not just on Instagram. ## How to segment and qualify a tattoo shop list ### Tattoo vs piercing vs cosmetic Run separate searches for tattoo terms, piercing terms and cosmetic tattoo terms (microblading, permanent makeup, scalp micropigmentation), then tag rows by category. They buy from different suppliers. ### Shop size Review count and the number of emails on a site are rough proxies for the number of artists. Multi-artist shops buy consumables in bulk and need booking software; private single-artist studios buy less. ### Laser tattoo removal Removal clinics and med spas offering removal buy lasers, numbing products and marketing. Keep them as their own list; see also our [med spa lead list](https://leadraft.co/leads/med-spas). ### Newly opened shops A new studio needs equipment, insurance, software and a website at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new tattoo listings as they appear on Google Maps. ### Weak online presence Filter for shops with no website or under 30 reviews. They rely on walk-ins and word of mouth, and respond to concrete marketing offers. See [finding businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews). ## How to reach tattoo shops ### Write after noon, call late afternoon Many shops don't open until noon and artists are tattooing from then on. Email so it lands around opening time, and call in the gap between sessions in late afternoon. Avoid Friday and Saturday evenings. ### Owner vs artists Decide who your offer is for. The owner buys the lease, furniture, software and shared supplies. Artists who work as contractors often buy their own machines and ink. One email rarely fits both. ### Show you know the craft Tattoo owners ignore generic beauty-industry pitches. Mention their style or a piece you saw, and use the trade's words: cartridges, stations, deposits, flash days. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. State and county health rules for tattoo shops vary, so don't make claims about them in your pitch.

Each business is charged once, ever. ## Tattoo shops lead lists: questions How do I find tattoo shop leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search terms such as tattoo shop, tattoo studio, tattoo artist, body piercing and tattoo removal, and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each shop's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many tattoo shops are there in the US? There's no official count of tattoo shops alone. The Census Bureau puts tattoo parlors in NAICS 812199, other personal care services, together with day spas, massage parlors and similar businesses; that code had 31,863 establishments with paid employees in 2023. Tattoo shops are a share of that, and many single-artist studios have no payroll at all, so the best count for your market is a Google Maps search of the area itself. How much does a tattoo shop email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per shop, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California, the largest state, has 3,882 establishments in the whole 812199 category, and tattoo shops are only part of it. So even a statewide California tattoo list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want more than 1,000 verified emails in a month, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city. Can I get only piercing shops or only cosmetic tattoo studios? Yes. Search those terms on their own (body piercing, piercing shop, microblading, permanent makeup) and filter by the category column. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can keep or drop Tattoo shop rows as you need. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the shop's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the shop's own website, with the page each was found on. Do you include artists' names or personal emails? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each shop publishes on its own website, sometimes including an address per artist, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 state file (NAICS 812199, Other Personal Care Services)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23st.zip) · Establishments with paid employees, summed across states. 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, 2017 NAICS Index File](https://www.census.gov/naics/2017NAICS/2017_NAICS_Index_File.xlsx) · Lists tattoo parlors, day spas and massage parlors under 812199. 3. 3.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 4. 4.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the tattoo shops in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Tax preparation is a seasonal, fragmented trade. The Census Bureau counted 28,762 tax preparation establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541213), led by California (about 3,960), Texas (2,570), Florida (2,520), New York (1,860), Georgia (1,040) and Illinois (990). The IRS counts far more people: 886,338 individuals held a current PTIN for 2026, including CPAs, attorneys and 71,966 enrolled agents, plus many uncredentialed preparers. The trade runs from national franchise offices and pop-up storefronts that open for filing season to year-round enrolled agents and tax resolution firms. Independent owners buy software, marketing and staffing themselves, and they buy most of it between May and November. ## How many tax preparers are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 28,762 establishments in **Tax preparation services (NAICS 541213)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 3,958 | 13.8% | | 2 | Texas | 2,566 | 8.9% | | 3 | Florida | 2,518 | 8.8% | | 4 | New York | 1,863 | 6.5% | | 5 | Georgia | 1,042 | 3.6% | | 6 | Illinois | 990 | 3.4% | | 7 | Ohio | 930 | 3.2% | | 8 | Pennsylvania | 910 | 3.2% | | 9 | Michigan | 802 | 2.8% | | 10 | North Carolina | 785 | 2.7% | | 11 | Arizona | 695 | 2.4% | | 12 | New Jersey | 679 | 2.4% | | 13 | Washington | 647 | 2.2% | | 14 | Missouri | 642 | 2.2% | | 15 | Virginia | 625 | 2.2% | | 16 | Massachusetts | 609 | 2.1% | | 17 | Indiana | 573 | 2.0% | | 18 | Colorado | 553 | 1.9% | | 19 | Minnesota | 546 | 1.9% | | 20 | South Carolina | 484 | 1.7% | | 21 | Wisconsin | 460 | 1.6% | | 22 | Maryland | 423 | 1.5% | | 23 | Tennessee | 406 | 1.4% | | 24 | Oregon | 374 | 1.3% | | 25 | Nevada | 361 | 1.3% | | 26 | Alabama | 360 | 1.3% | | 27 | Oklahoma | 359 | 1.2% | | 28 | Louisiana | 355 | 1.2% | | 29 | Kentucky | 319 | 1.1% | | 30 | Arkansas | 287 | 1.0% | | 31 | Connecticut | 284 | 1.0% | | 32 | Iowa | 257 | 0.9% | | 33 | Utah | 257 | 0.9% | | 34 | Kansas | 235 | 0.8% | | 35 | Mississippi | 192 | 0.7% | | 36 | Idaho | 168 | 0.6% | | 37 | New Mexico | 147 | 0.5% | | 38 | Hawaii | 127 | 0.4% | | 39 | Nebraska | 122 | 0.4% | | 40 | Maine | 114 | 0.4% | | 41 | New Hampshire | 105 | 0.4% | | 42 | West Virginia | 99 | 0.3% | | 43 | Rhode Island | 92 | 0.3% | | 44 | Alaska | 72 | 0.3% | | 45 | Montana | 69 | 0.2% | | 46 | Delaware | 68 | 0.2% | | 47 | South Dakota | 66 | 0.2% | | 48 | Wyoming | 57 | 0.2% | | 49 | North Dakota | 40 | 0.1% | | 50 | District of Columbia | 37 | 0.1% | | 51 | Vermont | 33 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a tax preparer lead list Every row is one tax preparer business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for tax preparers: | Field | Why it matters for tax preparers | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates tax preparation offices from CPA firms, bookkeepers and tax attorneys. Many small offices also list Notary public or Bookkeeping service, which tells you they sell several services from one storefront. | | **email + grade** | Small offices usually publish one address on their site. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger firms list separate addresses for the owner, document uploads and appointments. The role and the page each was found on help you skip the client document inbox and reach the person who buys. | | **hours** | The clearest seasonal signal. Offices that list year-round weekday hours do bookkeeping and resolution work; offices with long hours in spring, or no hours at all, are often seasonal storefronts. | | **website + contact\_form** | Many tax offices have no website, or a single page with a phone number. That's the lead for web design, online booking and client portal vendors. | | **rating + reviews** | Reviews show volume and reputation. A busy office with a 3.x rating is a natural lead for reputation software, and one with few reviews needs marketing before next season. | | **phone** | Owners answer the phone, but not from February to mid-April. Off-season calls to the office line get far more time, and you should dial by hand under the TCPA rules. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every tax preparer No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** tax preparation service, tax preparer, tax services, income tax service, tax office, tax preparation near me, tax return preparation, enrolled agent, tax consultant, tax advisor, tax resolution service, IRS tax relief, back taxes help, tax problem resolution, small business tax preparation, self employed tax preparation, payroll tax service, bookkeeping and tax service, ITIN services, notary and tax services, multi service tax office, tax attorney, estate tax planning, CPA tax services. **Google Maps categories:** Tax preparation service, Tax consultant, Accountant, Certified public accountant, Bookkeeping service, Tax attorney, Notary public. Leadraft includes these in its [Legal & financial keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#legal-financial) (68 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to tax preparers, and what works - **Tax software and bank product providers.** Professional tax software, refund transfer and bank product partners recruit independent offices before each season. Reach owners from May to October with pricing per return and how fast they can switch. - **Marketing and lead-gen agencies.** Tax prep is local and booked in a short window. Show the owner where they rank for "tax preparation near me" in their ZIP and how many reviews the top three offices have, and offer to have it fixed before January. - **Client portal, e-signature and payments vendors.** Offices still collect documents by email and in person. Pitch secure uploads and e-signatures as time saved per return, and mention the IRS expectation that preparers keep a written information security plan. - **Staffing and seasonal hiring services.** Offices hire seasonal preparers and front desk staff every fall. Reach owners in August and September with a concrete offer on time-to-hire. - **Continuing education and IRS credential trainers.** Uncredentialed preparers can take the IRS Annual Filing Season Program, and enrolled agents need continuing education. Courses, exam prep and CE bundles sell from late spring to fall. - **Practice brokers and firm buyers.** Firms looking to buy tax books want independent offices in a target metro. Draw the metro, exclude franchise brand names, and send a short, discreet note to the owner after the season. ## How to segment and qualify a tax preparer list ### Seasonal vs year-round Use the hours column and the search terms. Enrolled agents, tax resolution firms and offices that also offer bookkeeping work all year. Seasonal storefronts open from January to April and buy differently. ### Franchise vs independent Franchise locations share a brand name and a website domain. Group by domain: franchise offices buy software and marketing through head office, so pitch independents for those and franchisees for local services. ### Tax resolution specialists Search "tax resolution service", "IRS tax relief" and "back taxes help" separately. These firms spend heavily on lead generation and buy different services than a preparer doing W-2 returns. ### Multi-service storefronts Offices with several categories (tax, notary, insurance, immigration forms, money transfer) are common in some neighborhoods. They respond to offers that save time across all their services. ### Weak online presence Filter for no website, few reviews or a low rating. These offices are the best leads for websites, booking and reviews. See [finding businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews). ### Newly opened offices New tax offices open in the fall ahead of the season and need software, signage and marketing fast. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach tax preparers ### Sell between May and November From late January to April 15 owners are preparing returns and won't read vendor email. The best window is May to November, with software and staffing decisions made by early fall. Many offices also file extensions through October 15, so early October is busy again. ### Talk in cost per return Preparers think in returns and fees per return. Offers framed as dollars saved per return, returns finished per hour or new clients per season land better than feature lists. ### Respect data security Preparers handle taxpayer data and are wary of phishing, especially during filing season. Don't send attachments or login links in a first email. Say who you are, what you sell and how they can check you. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call office lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

How many tax preparers are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 28,762 tax preparation establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541213). The IRS reported 886,338 individuals with a current PTIN for 2026, but that counts people, including CPAs and attorneys, not offices. Google Maps lists offices, including one-person and seasonal ones that have no payroll. Can I get a list of tax preparers without CPA firms? Yes. Search tax preparation terms and filter by the category column to drop rows filed as Certified public accountant. If you want CPA firms instead, see the [accountant email list](https://leadraft.co/leads/accountants). How much does a tax preparer email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has about 2,570 tax preparation establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49 a month, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. A US-wide list of about 29,000 offices fits Growth's 100,000 businesses. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. When is the best time to email tax preparers? May to November. Owners are buried from late January to April 15 and again around the October 15 extension deadline. Software and staffing decisions for the next season are usually made by early fall. Do you include PTINs or preparer names? No. Leadraft lists the business as it appears on Google Maps, plus the emails it publishes on its own website, each with its role and the page it was found on. Some are named preparers.

Therapy is one of the most fragmented trades in healthcare. The Census Bureau counted 46,513 offices of mental health practitioners (psychologists, counselors, therapists and social workers, not psychiatrists) with paid employees in 2023, led by California (6,953), Florida (3,752), Texas (2,877), New York (2,864), Illinois (2,532) and Colorado (1,923). That count leaves out the very large number of solo practitioners with no employees, so Google Maps shows many more practices than Census. Group practices with several clinicians are growing, and some have been rolled up into regional groups. Solo therapists decide everything themselves, are short on time between sessions, and are careful about privacy. Many now see clients mostly by telehealth, and some keep a Maps listing for an office they rarely use. ## How many therapists are there in each state? California, Florida and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 46,513 establishments in **Offices of mental health practitioners (except physicians) (NAICS 621330)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for therapists: | Field | Why it matters for therapists | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits psychologists, counselors, family therapists and mental health clinics from psychiatrists (physicians) and addiction treatment centers. Testing tools sell to psychologists; billing and EHR tools to everyone who takes insurance. | | **email + grade** | Solo therapists often publish one practice address, sometimes on a free email provider (the free\_provider column flags it). **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Group practices often list an intake address plus one per clinician. The intake or office address is usually the one a practice owner reads for business. | | **website + website\_platform** | Many solo practices run on a simple template site. The platform column shows who is on a basic builder, which matters for website and SEO offers. | | **business (name)** | Solo practices are often named after the therapist, while group practices use a brand name with "counseling" or "wellness". The name is a quick way to tell solos from groups. | | **address** | Several practitioners often share one suite or building. Grouping by address helps you spot shared offices and group practices. | | **phone** | Many therapists don't answer during sessions and return calls between them. Leave a short message, and follow the TCPA: a solo practice number is often a cell phone. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every therapist No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** therapist, counselor, counseling services, mental health counselor, licensed professional counselor, psychotherapist, psychologist, clinical psychologist, marriage and family therapist, couples therapist, marriage counselor, family counseling, child therapist, teen counseling, anxiety therapist, depression therapist, trauma therapist, EMDR therapy, grief counseling, addiction counselor, substance abuse counseling, eating disorder therapist, play therapy, group practice, mental health clinic, behavioral health. **Google Maps categories:** Psychotherapist, Psychologist, Counselor, Mental health clinic, Mental health service, Family counselor, Marriage counselor, Addiction treatment center, Psychiatrist. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to therapists, and what works - **Therapy practice software (EHR, scheduling, billing).** Notes, scheduling, telehealth and insurance billing. Pitch time back between sessions and fewer claim problems, and lead with HIPAA safeguards and a business associate agreement, because therapists ask first. - **Insurance billing and credentialing services.** Credentialing with insurance panels is slow and frustrating. Offer a clear number: days to get on a panel, or claims recovered per month. - **Marketing and website agencies for therapists.** Clients search "therapist near me" and specialties like "couples counseling". Show the practice how it appears for its specialty in its city. - **Continuing education and training providers.** Licensed clinicians need continuing education hours. Segment by category and specialty terms (EMDR, play therapy, trauma) and lead with the hours and credential your course offers. - **Office space and group practice builders.** Therapy office landlords and group practices recruiting clinicians look for solo practices nearby. Use the address column to find clusters, and keep the message respectful. ## How to segment and qualify a therapist list ### Solo vs group practice Practice names that are a person's name usually mean a solo practice. Brand names with several clinicians and an intake address are group practices, which buy more seats and decide through an owner or practice manager. ### By license type Use categories and search terms to separate psychologists, counselors and family therapists. Testing tools, CE courses and insurance panels differ by license. ### By specialty Search couples, child and teen, trauma, EMDR, eating disorders and addiction terms separately. Specialty lists make for sharper outreach and fit specialty vendors. ### Therapists vs psychiatrists and treatment centers Psychiatrists are physicians and addiction treatment centers are licensed facilities. Use the category column to keep them out of a therapist list, or keep them as separate segments. ### Weak online presence Practices with no website, a free email address or very few reviews are the clearest leads for websites, SEO and directory listings. ## How to reach therapists ### Be brief and respectful Therapists work in 50-minute blocks and read email between sessions. Keep the first message to a few lines, name the practice and one specific detail, and make it easy to say no. ### Lead with privacy Emailing a practice's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve client information, so HIPAA isn't the rule that governs it. But privacy is the first question any therapist asks about a product. If yours touches client data, say how it's protected and whether you sign a business associate agreement. ### Time it around sessions Many therapists see clients late afternoon and evening, and take Friday off. Mid-morning Tuesday to Thursday is a good window for emails and calls. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Solo practice numbers are often cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Therapists lead lists: questions How many therapists are there in the US? The BLS counts 533,400 substance abuse, behavioral disorder and mental health counselor jobs (2025), and that leaves out psychologists and marriage and family therapists. The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 46,513 offices of mental health practitioners with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 621330). Solo practices with no employees aren't in that count, so Google Maps shows many more. How do I find therapist leads? Pick a city, county, ZIP or a shape you draw and search therapy terms (therapist, counselor, psychologist, marriage and family therapist, plus specialties). Leadraft keeps only practices inside your area, finds emails on each practice's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Does the list include telehealth-only therapists? Only if they have a Google Maps listing. Leadraft builds the list from Google Maps, so therapists with no listing and no office address won't appear. Does HIPAA apply to emailing therapists? Emailing a practice about your product is business-to-business marketing and doesn't involve client health information, so HIPAA isn't the rule that governs it. CAN-SPAM applies to the email itself. If your product handles client data, the practice will expect HIPAA safeguards and usually a business associate agreement. This isn't legal advice. How much does a therapist email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per practice, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 6,953 mental health practitioner offices with employees (Census 2023), and Google Maps will show more solo practices than that. A California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails to test a city first. Do you include therapists' personal emails? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each practice publishes on its own website, with the role and the page each was found on. For solo practices, that published address is often the therapist's own practice email. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 621330, Offices of Mental Health Practitioners (except Physicians))](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025.

Towing is a small-fleet, around-the-clock trade. The Census Bureau counted 10,566 motor vehicle towing establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 488410), led by California (1,292), Texas (886), Florida (648), New York (492), Illinois (426) and Pennsylvania (382). Owner-operators with one truck and no payroll aren't in that count, so Google Maps shows more. Work comes from several directions: motor clubs and insurance roadside programs, police and highway rotation lists, private property impounds, body shops and dealers, and drivers who search the map after a breakdown. Many towing companies also run a repair shop, a storage lot or a junkyard. Owners buy trucks, wreckers and equipment, insurance, dispatch software and fuel, and the business is local and relationship-driven. ## How many towing companies are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 10,566 establishments in **Motor vehicle towing (NAICS 488410)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 1,292 | 12.2% | | 2 | Texas | 886 | 8.4% | | 3 | Florida | 648 | 6.1% | | 4 | New York | 492 | 4.7% | | 5 | Illinois | 426 | 4.0% | | 6 | Pennsylvania | 382 | 3.6% | | 7 | North Carolina | 366 | 3.5% | | 8 | Virginia | 366 | 3.5% | | 9 | Georgia | 335 | 3.2% | | 10 | Ohio | 334 | 3.2% | | 11 | Michigan | 313 | 3.0% | | 12 | New Jersey | 311 | 2.9% | | 13 | Washington | 294 | 2.8% | | 14 | Massachusetts | 271 | 2.6% | | 15 | Tennessee | 245 | 2.3% | | 16 | Indiana | 220 | 2.1% | | 17 | Missouri | 212 | 2.0% | | 18 | Maryland | 205 | 1.9% | | 19 | Colorado | 202 | 1.9% | | 20 | Arizona | 200 | 1.9% | | 21 | South Carolina | 162 | 1.5% | | 22 | Alabama | 158 | 1.5% | | 23 | Minnesota | 149 | 1.4% | | 24 | Louisiana | 148 | 1.4% | | 25 | Wisconsin | 142 | 1.3% | | 26 | Oregon | 134 | 1.3% | | 27 | Oklahoma | 121 | 1.1% | | 28 | Kentucky | 115 | 1.1% | | 29 | Utah | 113 | 1.1% | | 30 | Arkansas | 107 | 1.0% | | 31 | Mississippi | 101 | 1.0% | | 32 | New Mexico | 98 | 0.9% | | 33 | Iowa | 96 | 0.9% | | 34 | Nevada | 95 | 0.9% | | 35 | Kansas | 87 | 0.8% | | 36 | West Virginia | 79 | 0.7% | | 37 | Idaho | 71 | 0.7% | | 38 | Montana | 71 | 0.7% | | 39 | Nebraska | 61 | 0.6% | | 40 | Connecticut | 60 | 0.6% | | 41 | Maine | 60 | 0.6% | | 42 | New Hampshire | 51 | 0.5% | | 43 | Hawaii | 47 | 0.4% | | 44 | Wyoming | 46 | 0.4% | | 45 | Delaware | 43 | 0.4% | | 46 | South Dakota | 33 | 0.3% | | 47 | Alaska | 28 | 0.3% | | 48 | Rhode Island | 28 | 0.3% | | 49 | Vermont | 25 | 0.2% | | 50 | North Dakota | 23 | 0.2% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 14 | 0.1% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a towing company lead list Every row is one towing company business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for towing companies: | Field | Why it matters for towing companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Splits dedicated towing companies from repair shops, junkyards and roadside-only services that also tow. Wrecker dealers want towing rows; junk car buyers and parts recyclers want the rest. | | **email + grade** | Towing companies often publish one office or dispatch address, and small ones use Gmail. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **free\_provider** | Flags Gmail, Yahoo and similar addresses. A one-truck operator with a free address is a different prospect from a fleet with a branded domain. | | **hours** | Most towing companies list 24 hours. Those that don't are often part-time operators or attached to a repair shop. | | **phone** | The listed number is a dispatch line that answers emergencies. Don't sell on it. Email first; if you call, ask for the owner or office and be brief. Follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **rating + reviews** | Drivers choose a tow company from the map in a hurry. Review count shows who gets the most cash calls; a low rating often points to impound or private property work. | | **address + service\_area + in\_area** | Many towing companies are service-area businesses with a yard. Use the area and distance columns to keep companies that cover your territory, or draw a polygon along a highway corridor. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every towing company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** towing service, tow truck service, towing company, 24 hour towing, emergency towing, roadside assistance, flatbed towing, car towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing, semi truck towing, wrecker service, accident recovery service, winch out service, jump start service, car lockout service, tire change service, fuel delivery service, private property towing, impound lot, vehicle recovery, rv towing, equipment hauling, junk car removal, cash for junk cars. **Google Maps categories:** Towing service, Roadside assistance service, Truck repair shop, Auto repair shop, Junkyard, Car dealer. Leadraft includes these in its [Auto keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#auto) (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to towing companies, and what works - **Tow truck, wrecker and equipment dealers.** Flatbeds, wreckers, rotators, wheel-lifts, winches and lighting. Lead with stock, financing and how fast a truck can be on the road, because an idle truck is lost calls. - **Commercial auto and garagekeepers insurance.** Towing carries high premiums and strict requirements from motor clubs and police rotations. A quick quote and same-day certificates of insurance are the hook. - **Dispatch, GPS and impound management software.** Motor club job intake, driver dispatch, photos, impound billing and payments. Pitch more calls per truck and fewer missed jobs at night. - **Body shops, dealers and repair shops.** Shops want tow operators to bring them repair work. A short note about your shop, the makes you fix and how you treat tow operators starts a referral relationship. - **Junk car buyers, auctions and parts recyclers.** Towing companies end up with abandoned and junk vehicles. A clear price per vehicle and quick pickup turns that problem into revenue for them. - **Property managers and HOAs.** Managers who need private property towing can list every towing company in the area and ask for terms, instead of picking from the first search results. ## How to segment and qualify a towing company list ### Light duty vs heavy duty Run light-duty terms (tow truck service, flatbed towing) and heavy-duty terms (semi truck towing, heavy duty towing) as separate searches. Heavy-duty operators buy rotators and big wreckers and work with fleets and trucking companies. ### Roadside-only services Lockout, jump-start, tire change and fuel delivery services often run vans, not tow trucks. Keep them as their own segment for roadside software and parts vendors. ### Towing plus repair or junkyard Use the categories column to find towing companies that also list Auto repair shop or Junkyard. They buy parts and shop equipment as well as trucks. ### Highway corridors Draw a polygon along interstates and truck routes to find the companies that handle highway and commercial recovery. ### Newly opened companies New towing businesses need insurance, trucks, dispatch software and a listing that ranks. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach towing companies ### Respect the dispatch line The number on the listing is how stranded drivers reach them. Sell by email. If you call, call the office line from their website during business hours and keep it short. ### Owners work odd hours Many owners drive calls themselves, nights and weekends included. Email lands best early morning, and a short, phone-readable message gets read. ### Lead with calls, trucks and claims Towing owners count calls per truck, motor club payouts and insurance cost. Offers framed in those numbers land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Towing companies lead lists: questions How do I find towing company leads? Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as towing service, tow truck service, roadside assistance, heavy duty towing and wrecker service. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only companies inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each company's website and checks every one before you export. How many towing companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 10,566 motor vehicle towing establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 488410). California has the most (1,292), then Texas (886) and Florida (648). One-truck operators with no payroll aren't in that count, and many repair shops and junkyards also tow, so Google Maps shows more. Can I get a list of only heavy-duty towing companies? Yes. Search heavy-duty terms (heavy duty towing, semi truck towing, wrecker service) and check each row's name, categories and website before you export. Light-duty companies also show up in those searches, so expect to drop some rows. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a towing company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. The whole US has about 10,600 towing establishments with employees (Census 2023), so even a national list of that size fits the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, 1,000 checked emails). If you want 4,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. A California-only list (1,292 companies in the Census count) is a smaller first step, and the Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one metro. Do you include owner names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each company publishes on its own website, often an office or dispatch address and sometimes a named owner, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 488410, Motor Vehicle Towing)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the towing companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Tree work is a small-crew, equipment-heavy trade. A typical company is an owner, a few climbers and ground workers, a chipper, a stump grinder and a bucket or crane truck, and the work is dangerous enough that insurance is a big cost. The Census Bureau doesn't count tree companies on their own: they sit inside landscaping services (NAICS 561730), which had about 118,000 establishments with employees in 2023, led by Florida (10,670), California (9,393), New York (7,725) and Texas (5,568). The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 70,600 tree trimmer and pruner jobs in 2025, a count that also includes crews at utilities and landscaping firms. Demand is steady for pruning and removals and spikes after storms. Many companies also sell firewood, mulch and land clearing, and some are owner-only operators with no payroll, so Google Maps shows more of them than any official count. ## What's in a tree service lead list Every row is one tree service business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for tree services: | Field | Why it matters for tree services | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates dedicated tree companies from landscapers and lawn services that also trim trees. Equipment dealers and climbing gear suppliers want the Tree service rows; turf and fertilizer vendors want the rest. | | **email + grade** | Tree companies often publish one office address, and many small ones use Gmail. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe. | | **free\_provider** | Flags emails on Gmail, Yahoo and similar. Small crews with a free address and no website are the clearest targets for web, branding and booking offers. | | **website + contact\_form** | Homeowners ask for estimates online. A company with no website or no estimate form is losing jobs, and the contact form column shows another way to reach them. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count is a fair proxy for job volume. Busy companies with strong reviews are buying equipment and hiring; companies with few reviews need marketing. | | **phone** | The owner usually answers from a job site. Calls in the early morning or after 5 p.m. get through more often. Follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **address + service\_area + in\_area** | Most tree companies are service-area businesses run from a yard. Use the area and distance columns to keep only companies that work in your territory. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every tree service No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** tree service, tree removal service, tree trimming service, tree pruning, tree cutting service, arborist, certified arborist, tree care company, stump grinding, stump removal service, emergency tree removal, storm damage tree removal, tree surgeon, crane tree removal, land clearing service, lot clearing, brush clearing service, tree health care, tree spraying service, tree planting service, palm tree trimming, hedge trimming service, firewood supplier, mulch supplier. **Google Maps categories:** Tree service, Landscaper, Lawn care service, Gardener, Firewood supplier, Excavating contractor. Leadraft includes these in its [Home services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#home-services) (75 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to tree services, and what works - **Equipment dealers and rental yards.** Chippers, stump grinders, compact loaders, bucket trucks and cranes. Lead with demo days, financing and service turnaround, because a truck in the shop is lost revenue. - **Climbing gear and safety suppliers.** Saddles, ropes, saws, PPE and rigging. Target Tree service rows and offer contractor pricing and fast shipping on wear items. - **Insurance and workers' comp providers.** Tree work carries some of the highest premiums in the trades. A clear quote, safety-program discounts and fast certificates of insurance for commercial clients get attention. - **Home-service marketing and local SEO agencies.** "Tree removal near me" is a high-ticket local search. Show the owner where they rank on the map and how many reviews the top three companies in their area have. - **Estimating and field service software.** Estimates with photos, crew scheduling, deposits and invoices from the truck. Pitch more signed estimates per week and less paperwork at night. - **Wood waste buyers and mulch yards.** Tree crews pay to dump chips and logs. A free or paid drop-off nearby saves them drive time, which is an easy first conversation. ## How to segment and qualify a tree service list ### Tree specialists vs landscapers Use the category column to split Tree service rows from Landscaper and Lawn care service rows. Landscapers that trim trees are a separate segment with different equipment needs. ### Crane and large removal companies Search crane tree removal and emergency tree removal. These are the larger operators with heavy equipment, bigger insurance bills and commercial clients. ### Land clearing Land clearing and lot clearing companies serve builders and developers. Search those terms in growing suburbs and keep them as their own list. ### Storm regions Draw the area around hurricane coasts, ice-storm belts or wildfire-risk counties and build the list before the season. After a storm, crews are booked for weeks and don't read email. ### Small crews with weak online presence Filter for rows with a free email provider, no website or fewer than 20 reviews. See our guide on [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites) for how to pitch them. ### Newly opened companies New tree companies need insurance, equipment financing and a website at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach tree services ### Seasons matter Winter is a good time to reach many tree companies: deciduous trees are bare, some work slows in the north, and owners plan equipment purchases. Spring and post-storm weeks are their busiest. ### Short emails, read on a phone Owners read email in the truck. Keep it to a few lines, name the company and one specific observation, and ask one question. ### Talk about safety and uptime Tree owners care about crew safety, insurance cost and keeping equipment running. Offers framed as fewer days down, lower premiums or more jobs per crew land better than feature lists. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as tree service, tree removal service, arborist, stump grinding and land clearing service. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only companies inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each company's website and checks every one before you export. How many tree services are there in the US? There is no separate official count of tree companies. The Census Bureau includes tree trimming, removal and arborist services in landscaping services (NAICS 561730), which had 117,969 establishments with paid employees in 2023. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 70,600 tree trimmer and pruner jobs in 2025. To count the tree companies in your own market, search it on Google Maps with several tree terms and dedupe the results, which Leadraft does for you. Can I separate tree companies from landscapers? Yes. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories. Keep rows whose category is Tree service for a tree-only list, or keep landscapers that also list tree work as a second segment. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a tree service email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Florida has 10,670 landscaping establishments with employees (Census 2023, the code that includes tree services), and tree companies are a share of that. Even a list of every one of those would fit the Starter plan's 25,000 businesses ($19 a month, 1,000 checked emails).

Trucking is mostly small fleets. The Census Bureau counted 60,137 long-distance truckload carrier establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 484121), and that's only one slice: local freight, less-than-truckload and specialized haulers have their own codes, and owner-operators with no payroll aren't counted at all. California (about 7,800 truckload establishments), Illinois (7,000) and Texas (6,300) lead by a wide margin, then Florida (3,900), Pennsylvania (2,200), Michigan (2,100) and Georgia (2,000). The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts about 2.2 million heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver jobs. On Google Maps you'll find the carriers that keep a yard, terminal or office with a listing; that's the part of the market that buys local services like truck repair, tires, fuel cards, insurance and parking. Small fleet owners decide fast and are on the phone all day. ## How many trucking companies are there in each state? California, Illinois and Texas have the most. The Census Bureau counted 60,137 establishments in **General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (NAICS 484121)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 7,792 | 13.0% | | 2 | Illinois | 6,973 | 11.6% | | 3 | Texas | 6,318 | 10.5% | | 4 | Florida | 3,866 | 6.4% | | 5 | Pennsylvania | 2,160 | 3.6% | | 6 | Michigan | 2,058 | 3.4% | | 7 | Georgia | 1,967 | 3.3% | | 8 | North Carolina | 1,952 | 3.2% | | 9 | Ohio | 1,902 | 3.2% | | 10 | Indiana | 1,776 | 3.0% | | 11 | Washington | 1,719 | 2.9% | | 12 | New York | 1,486 | 2.5% | | 13 | Missouri | 1,347 | 2.2% | | 14 | Tennessee | 1,162 | 1.9% | | 15 | Wisconsin | 1,141 | 1.9% | | 16 | Minnesota | 1,051 | 1.7% | | 17 | New Jersey | 934 | 1.6% | | 18 | Oregon | 924 | 1.5% | | 19 | Iowa | 921 | 1.5% | | 20 | Virginia | 913 | 1.5% | | 21 | South Carolina | 787 | 1.3% | | 22 | Alabama | 766 | 1.3% | | 23 | Oklahoma | 762 | 1.3% | | 24 | Arizona | 754 | 1.3% | | 25 | Kansas | 733 | 1.2% | | 26 | Arkansas | 636 | 1.1% | | 27 | Kentucky | 618 | 1.0% | | 28 | Colorado | 603 | 1.0% | | 29 | Utah | 602 | 1.0% | | 30 | Nebraska | 553 | 0.9% | | 31 | Idaho | 541 | 0.9% | | 32 | Mississippi | 483 | 0.8% | | 33 | Nevada | 483 | 0.8% | | 34 | Massachusetts | 441 | 0.7% | | 35 | Louisiana | 427 | 0.7% | | 36 | Maryland | 419 | 0.7% | | 37 | South Dakota | 318 | 0.5% | | 38 | Montana | 279 | 0.5% | | 39 | North Dakota | 273 | 0.5% | | 40 | Connecticut | 244 | 0.4% | | 41 | New Mexico | 208 | 0.3% | | 42 | Maine | 189 | 0.3% | | 43 | Wyoming | 177 | 0.3% | | 44 | West Virginia | 125 | 0.2% | | 45 | Delaware | 88 | 0.1% | | 46 | Rhode Island | 76 | 0.1% | | 47 | Alaska | 63 | 0.1% | | 48 | New Hampshire | 57 | 0.1% | | 49 | Vermont | 52 | 0.1% | | 50 | Hawaii | 12 | 0.0% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 6 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a trucking company lead list Every row is one trucking company business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for trucking companies: | Field | Why it matters for trucking companies | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates asset carriers (Trucking company) from brokers and logistics companies (Logistics service, Freight forwarding service). Fuel cards and truck repair sell to carriers; load boards and factoring sell to both, with different pitches. | | **address + distance + in\_area** | A trucking listing is usually a yard or terminal. For truck repair, tire, towing and parking businesses, distance from your shop is the whole qualification. | | **email + grade** | Small carriers often publish a dispatch@ or a free webmail address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, a maybe. The free\_provider column flags Gmail and Yahoo addresses, common with owner-operators. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Larger carriers list dispatch, safety, recruiting and billing addresses. The role column lets you send a safety pitch to safety and a factoring pitch to billing or the owner. | | **phone** | Trucking runs on the phone. The listed number is often the owner's or dispatcher's cell, so dial by hand and follow the TCPA for calls and texts. | | **hours** | Carriers listing 24 hours run nights and weekends and need around-the-clock repair, towing and dispatch support. Weekday-only listings are usually offices or smaller fleets. | | **website** | Many small carriers have no website or a one-page site. That's a lead for web, recruiting and branding offers, and a sign the owner handles everything. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every trucking company No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** trucking company, freight trucking, trucking services, truckload carrier, ltl carrier, freight company, freight carrier, flatbed trucking, refrigerated trucking, reefer trucking, tanker trucking, dry van trucking, hot shot trucking, dump truck service, dump truck hauling, heavy haul trucking, intermodal trucking, drayage company, car hauler, auto transport company, livestock hauling, grain hauling, freight broker, logistics company, truck terminal, expedited freight, box truck delivery. **Google Maps categories:** Trucking company, Freight forwarding service, Logistics service, Shipping company, Delivery service, Courier service, Transportation service. Leadraft includes these in its [Commercial services keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#commercial-services) (57 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to trucking companies, and what works - **Truck repair, tire and roadside service shops.** Fleets near your shop are the best leads. Use a radius around your location and lead with response time, bay availability and a fleet account. - **Freight factoring companies.** Small carriers often wait weeks for broker payments. Offer a clear advance rate, same-day funding and no long contract, and target fleets with no website or a free email address, which usually means a small operation. - **Commercial truck insurance agencies.** Insurance is a big cost for a small fleet and renews every year. Lead with a renewal review and segment by cargo type, since reefer, flatbed and dump each price differently. See [commercial insurance leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/commercial-insurance-leads). - **Fuel card, ELD and fleet software vendors.** Fuel discounts, ELD compliance, dispatch and maintenance tracking. Owners want savings per gallon or per truck per month, stated plainly. - **Driver recruiting and CDL schools.** Carriers hire constantly. Offer qualified driver applicants or training partnerships, and target fleets whose sites have a careers or apply page. - **Shippers and brokers looking for capacity.** Manufacturers and brokers who want local carriers for a lane can list every trucking company within a radius of a plant or port and reach out directly. ## How to segment and qualify a trucking company list ### Carriers vs brokers Brokers and logistics companies don't own trucks. Tag rows by category and keep them apart; repair, tires and fuel cards are for carriers only. ### By equipment Search flatbed, reefer, tanker, dump truck, hot shot and car hauler terms separately and tag each row by the term that found it. Insurance, equipment and parts differ by trailer type. ### Around a hub Draw a polygon around an industrial corridor, port or interstate interchange, or set a radius around your shop. Trucking clusters near freight, not near city centers. ### Small fleets No website, a free email address and few reviews usually mean a small fleet where the owner drives or dispatches. They decide fast and want simple pricing. ### Newly opened carriers New carriers need insurance, factoring, ELDs and a repair shop all at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new trucking listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach trucking companies ### Call early, email short Dispatch starts before dawn. Owners and dispatchers are easiest to reach early morning or late afternoon. Keep emails to a few lines that read well on a phone. ### FMCSA data is a separate source The FMCSA publishes registration data on interstate carriers (USDOT numbers, fleet size, safety records). It's a different public source from Google Maps. A Leadraft list gives you the local carriers with a yard or office listing, their website emails checked, and their phone and hours; you can match the two by name and address if you need both. ### Lead with dollars per truck Trucking margins are thin. A specific saving per gallon, per truck or per invoice, stated in the first two lines, lands better than a feature list. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed trucking numbers are cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Trucking companies lead lists: questions How do I find trucking company leads? Pick the city, county or ZIP code you sell into, or draw a radius around your shop, search terms like trucking company, flatbed trucking, dump truck service and freight carrier, and let Leadraft collect every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each company's own website and checks every mailbox, so you export only Verified and Accept-all emails. How many trucking companies are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 60,137 long-distance truckload freight establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 484121). Local trucking, less-than-truckload and specialized freight have separate codes, and owner-operators without payroll aren't counted, so the full number of trucking businesses is much larger. The FMCSA's carrier registration counts interstate carriers by USDOT number, which is a different measure again. Should I use FMCSA data or Google Maps for trucking leads? They answer different questions. FMCSA data lists registered interstate carriers, including many small operators with no office listing. A Leadraft list is built from Google Maps, so it's the carriers with a yard, terminal or office in your area, with website emails checked and phone and hours included. For local services like repair, tires, towing and insurance, the local list is usually the one you can act on. Are the emails verified? Each email is checked against the company's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the company's own website, with the page each was found on. How much does a trucking company email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per company, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Illinois has about 7,000 long-distance truckload establishments with employees (Census 2023). A list of that size fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. Many small carriers publish only a phone number, so expect fewer emails per business than in office-based trades. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one area first. Do you include owner or driver names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each company publishes on its own website, often dispatch@ or info@ and sometimes the owner's own, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 484121, General Freight Trucking, Long-Distance, Truckload)](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2023/econ/cbp/2023-cbp.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Heavy and Tractor-trailer Truck Drivers](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/transportation-and-material-moving/heavy-and-tractor-trailer-truck-drivers.htm) · 2,221,200 jobs in 2025, across all industries. 3. 3.[FMCSA: Registration and USDOT numbers](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration) 4. 4.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 5. 5.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the trucking companies in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

The Census Bureau counted 9,820 exam preparation and tutoring establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 611691). That's the storefront part of the market. A large number of tutors work alone or through small in-home companies with no payroll, and many of them still keep a Google Maps listing. The trade is concentrated in the largest states: California has about 2,020 establishments, then Texas (880), New York (880), Florida (710), New Jersey (490), Georgia (380) and Illinois (350). Franchise brands make up a big share of storefront centers, and each franchise unit is usually owned locally. Owners buy marketing, software and staff themselves, and demand follows the school year, with a rush before test dates and at report-card time. ## How many tutoring centers are there in each state? California, Texas and New York have the most. The Census Bureau counted 9,820 establishments in **Exam preparation and tutoring (NAICS 611691)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for tutoring centers: | Field | Why it matters for tutoring centers | | --- | --- | | **business + category** | Separates storefront learning centers from in-home tutors, test prep firms and admissions consultants. Franchise units share a brand in the business name, which is the quickest way to split franchise from independent. | | **email + grade** | Centers usually publish one address for parent inquiries. **Verified** means the mailbox exists. Franchise unit addresses often sit on the brand's shared domain; if that domain accepts every address the grade is **Accept-all**, a maybe, so send to those more carefully. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Independent centers sometimes list the owner or director separately from the front desk. The role and the page each email was found on help you reach the owner. | | **hours** | Most centers open after school and on Saturdays and are closed in the morning.

The service area flag separates them from centers with a classroom. | | **rating + reviews** | Parents choose tutors on reviews. A center with few reviews is a lead for review software and local marketing, and one with many recent reviews is busy and may be hiring. | | **website + contact\_form** | Centers that rely on a contact form and phone calls, with no online booking or free-assessment page, are the lead for web, booking and CRM vendors. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks.

Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** tutoring center, tutoring service, tutor, learning center, math tutor, math learning center, reading tutor, reading center, writing tutor, science tutor, homework help, after school tutoring, SAT prep, ACT prep, test prep center, GRE prep, LSAT prep, MCAT prep, college admissions consultant, dyslexia tutor, special needs tutoring, ESL tutoring, coding school for kids, STEM learning center, in home tutoring, Kumon, Mathnasium. **Google Maps categories:** Tutoring service, Learning center, Educational consultant, Educational institution, Language school, Computer training school, After school program. ## Who sells to tutoring centers, and what works - **Marketing and local SEO agencies.** Tutoring is a local, review-driven purchase made by parents. Show the owner where the center ranks for "math tutor near me" in its ZIP and how many reviews the nearest three competitors have, ahead of back-to-school. - **Scheduling, billing and student management software.** Session booking, packages and memberships, parent portals and progress reports. Pitch the owner on fewer missed sessions and less time chasing payments. - **Curriculum, assessment and test prep publishers.** Independent centers buy curriculum, practice tests and diagnostic tools. Segment by subject and test focus and send a sample lesson or a free diagnostic. - **Franchise development teams.** Education franchisors look for independent center owners who might convert, and for markets with few centers. The list shows both: independents to approach and ZIP codes with gaps. - **Tutor staffing and background check services.** Centers hire part-time tutors each semester and need background checks. Reach owners in July and December with a concrete offer on time-to-hire. - **Schools and districts looking for partners.** Private schools and programs that contract out tutoring can list every provider nearby and invite proposals, instead of relying on the first page of search results. ## How to segment and qualify a tutoring center list ### Franchise vs independent Franchise units share a brand name and often a website domain. Group by domain: franchise locations buy curriculum and software through the franchisor, so pitch independents for those and franchisees for local marketing and staffing. ### Test prep vs academic tutoring Run separate searches for SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT and MCAT prep. Test prep follows exam dates and sells to older students; academic tutoring follows the school year and report cards. ### Storefront vs in-home Use the service area flag and address. Centers with a classroom buy furniture, signage and leases; in-home companies buy scheduling, travel and tutor recruiting. ### Special needs and learning differences Dyslexia, ADHD and special needs tutoring is its own market, with specialized training and assessment tools. Search those terms on their own. ### Coding and STEM Kids' coding, robotics and STEM centers buy equipment and run camps. Search "coding school for kids" and "STEM learning center" separately and keep them as their own segment. ### Newly opened centers New centers open before the school year and need everything at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area sends new tutoring listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach tutoring centers ### Write in the morning, call before 2 p.m. Centers are busy from school dismissal to evening and on Saturdays. Owners do admin work in the morning, so emails that land between 9 and noon and calls before 2 p.m. get answered. ### Time it to the school year Back-to-school (August and September), report cards and the weeks before SAT and ACT dates are the busy seasons. Sell marketing a month or two before them, and software in early summer when owners plan. ### Talk in enrollments Owners think in enrolled students and monthly packages. Offers framed as new families per month or hours saved per week land better than feature lists. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many in-home tutoring numbers are cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Tutoring centers lead lists: questions How do I find tutoring center leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search the tutoring terms that matter to you (tutoring center, math tutor, SAT prep, learning center and so on), and Leadraft finds every matching business on Google Maps inside that area. It finds up to 5 emails on each business's own website, checks each mailbox, and lets you export CSV or XLSX or push the list to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many tutoring centers are there in the US? The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 9,820 exam preparation and tutoring establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 611691). Solo tutors and small in-home companies with no payroll aren't in that count, so Google Maps usually shows more tutoring businesses. Can I get a list of only test prep companies? Yes. Search test prep terms (SAT prep, ACT prep, test prep center, GRE prep, LSAT prep) and filter by business name and category. Leadraft removes duplicates across terms, so a center that shows up for several searches is one row and one credit. How much does a tutoring center email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per business, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has about 2,020 tutoring and test prep establishments with employees (Census 2023), and a California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). If you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49 a month, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first. Does the list include in-home and online tutors? It includes any tutoring business with a Google Maps listing in your area, including service-area businesses with no storefront. The service area column flags those. Tutors with no listing at all won't appear. Do you include tutor names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each business publishes on its own website, often a front desk or inquiries address and sometimes the owner or director, with the role and the page it was found on. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 611691, Exam Preparation and Tutoring)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html) · US and state files, establishments with paid employees, released 2025. 2. 2.[FTC: CAN-SPAM Act, a compliance guide for business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 3. 3.[FCC: Stop unwanted robocalls and texts (TCPA consent rules)](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts) ## See the tutoring centers in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Urgent care has grown fast and consolidated. The Urgent Care Association counts more than 15,000 open centers in the US. The Census Bureau doesn't have a code for urgent care alone: it counts urgent cares with freestanding emergency rooms and ambulatory surgery centers under NAICS 621493, which had 10,042 establishments in 2023, led by California (1,223), Texas (1,149), Florida (871) and Georgia (490). Many centers belong to regional chains, private-equity-backed operators or hospital systems, and those buy centrally. Independent owner-operated centers, often run by an emergency or family physician, still make up a real part of the market and decide quickly. Every center depends on long opening hours, fast patient throughput and staffing. ## How many urgent care centers are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 10,042 establishments in **Freestanding ambulatory surgical and emergency centers (NAICS 621493)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list. | Rank | State | Establishments (2023) | Share of US | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | California | 1,223 | 12.2% | | 2 | Texas | 1,149 | 11.4% | | 3 | Florida | 871 | 8.7% | | 4 | Georgia | 490 | 4.9% | | 5 | New York | 421 | 4.2% | | 6 | Ohio | 351 | 3.5% | | 7 | Arizona | 334 | 3.3% | | 8 | New Jersey | 296 | 2.9% | | 9 | Michigan | 283 | 2.8% | | 10 | North Carolina | 275 | 2.7% | | 11 | Tennessee | 257 | 2.6% | | 12 | Pennsylvania | 252 | 2.5% | | 13 | Illinois | 250 | 2.5% | | 14 | Louisiana | 245 | 2.4% | | 15 | Maryland | 225 | 2.2% | | 16 | Oklahoma | 205 | 2.0% | | 17 | Indiana | 203 | 2.0% | | 18 | South Carolina | 185 | 1.8% | | 19 | Virginia | 180 | 1.8% | | 20 | Washington | 168 | 1.7% | | 21 | Missouri | 158 | 1.6% | | 22 | Kentucky | 152 | 1.5% | | 23 | Colorado | 151 | 1.5% | | 24 | Oregon | 151 | 1.5% | | 25 | Massachusetts | 147 | 1.5% | | 26 | Utah | 108 | 1.1% | | 27 | Mississippi | 105 | 1.0% | | 28 | Alabama | 104 | 1.0% | | 29 | Nevada | 103 | 1.0% | | 30 | Kansas | 97 | 1.0% | | 31 | Wisconsin | 93 | 0.9% | | 32 | Idaho | 85 | 0.8% | | 33 | Arkansas | 82 | 0.8% | | 34 | Connecticut | 79 | 0.8% | | 35 | Minnesota | 67 | 0.7% | | 36 | Nebraska | 62 | 0.6% | | 37 | New Mexico | 58 | 0.6% | | 38 | West Virginia | 48 | 0.5% | | 39 | Montana | 44 | 0.4% | | 40 | New Hampshire | 44 | 0.4% | | 41 | Iowa | 35 | 0.3% | | 42 | Delaware | 33 | 0.3% | | 43 | Hawaii | 32 | 0.3% | | 44 | Alaska | 31 | 0.3% | | 45 | Wyoming | 25 | 0.2% | | 46 | Rhode Island | 22 | 0.2% | | 47 | South Dakota | 18 | 0.2% | | 48 | Vermont | 15 | 0.1% | | 49 | Maine | 13 | 0.1% | | 50 | North Dakota | 13 | 0.1% | | 51 | District of Columbia | 4 | 0.0% | Source: [US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (state file)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/data/datasets.html), all legal forms. ## What's in a urgent care center lead list Every row is one urgent care center business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for urgent care centers: | Field | Why it matters for urgent care centers | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates true urgent cares from freestanding ERs (Emergency room), occupational health clinics and ordinary primary care practices that also list Walk-in clinic. Each buys different equipment and staff. | | **website** | Chain and hospital-affiliated centers share one domain across many sites. Group by domain to find the operator, which is where software, supply and staffing decisions are made. | | **hours** | Urgent care lives on hours. Centers open evenings, weekends or 24 hours are full-scope sites; short hours often mean a small or part-time clinic. Hours also tell you when the site is quiet enough to call. | | **rating + reviews** | Reviews in urgent care are mostly about wait times and front-desk experience. A low rating with high volume is the opening for patient-flow, check-in and reputation offers. | | **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Operators often publish separate addresses for billing, employer services, records and careers. The employer services address is the one occupational medicine buyers and partners want. | | **email + grade** | **Verified** means the mailbox exists. **Accept-all** means the domain accepts any address, which is common on chain domains, so treat it as a maybe. | | **phone** | The front desk is busy with patients. Call the line by hand, keep it short and ask for the practice or site manager. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every urgent care center No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** urgent care, urgent care center, walk-in clinic, walk in medical clinic, immediate care, express care, after hours clinic, pediatric urgent care, kids urgent care, occupational medicine clinic, occupational health clinic, workers comp clinic, DOT physical, minor emergency clinic, urgent care x-ray, COVID testing, flu shot clinic, sports physical, freestanding emergency room, 24 hour clinic, retail clinic, telehealth urgent care. **Google Maps categories:** Urgent care center, Walk-in clinic, Medical clinic, Emergency care physician, Emergency room, Occupational health service, Pediatrician, Doctor. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to urgent care centers, and what works - **Healthcare staffing agencies.** Urgent cares run on physicians, PAs, nurse practitioners, radiology techs and medical assistants across long shifts. Lead with the roles you fill and your fill time. Our [staffing agency guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-clients-for-staffing-agency) covers outreach to operators. - **Patient check-in, queuing and billing software.** Online check-in, wait-time display, self-service kiosks and urgent care billing. Pitch shorter waits and better reviews, and mention HIPAA safeguards and a business associate agreement up front. - **Medical supply, imaging and lab vendors.** Point-of-care tests, digital x-ray, splints and suture kits, and reference lab services. Target independent centers directly and operators through their head office. - **Employers and occupational health partners.** Companies that need drug screens, DOT physicals and workers' comp care want every occupational medicine clinic near their sites. Draw your area around the job sites and filter for occupational terms. - **Healthcare marketing agencies.** Urgent care competes on Google Maps visibility and reviews. Show the center where it ranks for "urgent care near me" in its ZIP and how its reviews compare with the nearest three. ## How to segment and qualify a urgent care center list ### Independent vs chain or hospital-affiliated Group by website domain. A domain across many sites is a chain or a health system, which buys centrally. A domain with one to three sites is usually an owner-operated center that decides quickly. ### Urgent care vs freestanding ER Freestanding emergency rooms look similar on the map but are licensed, staffed and billed differently. Use the category column to split them from urgent care before you write to either. ### Pediatric urgent care Pediatric centers often open evenings and weekends and buy child-specific equipment and staffing. Search "pediatric urgent care" and "kids urgent care" as their own segment. ### Occupational medicine Clinics offering DOT physicals, drug testing and workers' comp care sell to employers. Search those terms separately and keep them as a list of their own. ### Long-hours sites Filter the hours column for centers open late, on weekends or 24 hours. They have the largest staffing and supply needs. ### New openings Operators open new sites steadily. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new urgent care listings as they appear on Google Maps, before the site has its vendors settled. ## How to reach urgent care centers ### Reach the operator, not the site For chains and hospital-affiliated centers, the site manager rarely buys. Group the list by domain, write once to the operator's head office, and use site counts from your list to size the opportunity. ### Time around patient peaks Urgent cares are busiest early mornings, evenings and weekends, and in flu season. Mid-morning to early afternoon on weekdays is the quieter window for calls and emails. ### Keep patient data out of it Emailing a center's business address about a product is B2B marketing and doesn't involve patient information. If your product handles patient data, say up front how, usually under a business associate agreement. Never ask for patient details in outreach. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

The Urgent Care Association counts more than 15,000 open urgent care centers in the US. The Census Bureau doesn't count urgent care on its own: its closest group, freestanding ambulatory surgical and emergency centers (NAICS 621493), had 10,042 establishments with paid employees in 2023, and that also includes surgery centers and freestanding ERs. How do I find urgent care leads? Pick a city, county, state or a shape you draw and search urgent care terms (urgent care, walk-in clinic, immediate care, pediatric urgent care, occupational medicine). Leadraft keeps only centers inside your area, finds emails on each center's own website, checks them, and lets you export or push them to your sending tool. Can I separate independent urgent cares from chains? Yes. Group the list by website domain. Chain and hospital-affiliated sites share one domain; independents have their own. The site count per domain tells you how big each operator is in your area. Does the list include freestanding emergency rooms? Only if you want them. Freestanding ERs are usually filed under the Emergency room category, so you can filter them out of an urgent care list or keep them as their own segment. How much does an urgent care email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per center, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 1,149 establishments in the Census group that includes urgent care (NAICS 621493, 2023). A Texas-wide urgent care list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one metro first. Do you include owner or medical director names? No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people.

Veterinary practice in the US is a busy, staff-heavy business: the Census Bureau counts about 34,000 veterinary establishments with paid employees, employing about 475,000 people, an average of about 14 people per location. The BLS counts 91,100 veterinarian jobs. The market has consolidated fast. Corporate groups and private equity-backed platforms now own many general and emergency practices, and many of them keep the clinic's original local name, so a list that looks independent often isn't. Independents are usually owned by one or two veterinarians who still see patients, with a practice manager running operations and most purchasing. Clinics buy software, diagnostics, pharmacy services, staffing and marketing, and they are short on staff more often than on clients. ## How many veterinarians are there in each state? California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 34,296 establishments in **Veterinary services (NAICS 541940)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher.

These are the columns that matter most for veterinarians: | Field | Why it matters for veterinarians | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Most practices file under "Veterinarian" or "Animal hospital"; emergency practices use "Emergency veterinarian service". Secondary categories like boarding or grooming mark clinics with extra revenue lines. Keep groomers and boarding-only businesses out unless you want them. | | **business name and website** | Corporate-owned clinics often keep local names but link to a shared website or a templated clinic page. The website domain is the quickest way to spot clinics that belong to the same group. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Practices publish a front-desk inbox and sometimes a practice manager or hospital administrator address. Up to 5 emails with role and source help you reach the manager rather than the reception queue. Only Verified and Accept-all are exported. | | **hours** | 24-hour and late hours mark emergency and urgent care practices, which have different staffing, equipment and software needs from general practices. | | **rating and reviews** | Review count is a rough proxy for client volume. A low rating usually points to wait times or communication, which is where client communication and reputation vendors come in. | | **contact\_form and website\_platform** | Practices that only offer a request form instead of online booking are a fit for scheduling and client-communication software. The platform shows what the site is built on where it can be detected. | | **address, lat/lng, distance, in\_area** | Reps for diagnostics, pharmacy and distribution cover territories. Coordinates and distance let you plan routes and split the list among reps. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every veterinarian No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** veterinarian, vet clinic, animal hospital, veterinary clinic, emergency vet, 24 hour emergency vet, pet hospital, small animal veterinarian, exotic animal vet, avian veterinarian, equine veterinarian, large animal veterinarian, mobile vet, cat clinic, veterinary dentist, veterinary specialist, veterinary surgeon, low cost vet clinic, spay and neuter clinic, pet vaccination clinic, holistic veterinarian, urgent care vet. **Google Maps categories:** Veterinarian, Animal hospital, Emergency veterinarian service, Pet groomer, Pet boarding service. Leadraft includes these in its [Health & medical keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#health-medical) (74 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to veterinarians, and what works - **Practice management and client communication software.** Independents decide in the practice; corporate clinics usually can't. Filter out group-owned domains first, then lead with staff time saved on phones, reminders and records. - **Diagnostics, equipment and pharmacy distributors.** Territory sales. Use distance and coordinates to plan visits, and email the practice manager first with a reason to meet. - **Veterinary staffing and relief vet services.** Staffing is the chronic pain. Emergency and 24-hour practices feel it most. Lead with availability and coverage area. - **Veterinary marketing and web agencies.** Many independents run dated sites. Lead with a specific gap: no online booking, no page for a service they clearly offer, or a weak review count compared with the clinic nearby. - **Practice brokers and acquirers.** Groups and brokers look for independents to buy. Independents with strong reviews and their own domain are the pool; approach the owner with discretion. ## How to segment and qualify a veterinarian list ### Independent vs corporate-owned Group rows by website domain. Several clinics on one domain, or clinic pages on a group site, mean central purchasing. Single clinics on their own domain are usually independent, though some acquired clinics keep their old sites. ### General practice vs emergency and specialty Run "emergency vet" and "veterinary specialist" as their own search lines, and use hours to confirm. Emergency hospitals have bigger teams, bigger budgets and different software. ### Small animal, exotic, equine and large animal Equine and large animal vets are often mobile, with a farm or home address. Exotic and avian vets are few and specific. Each needs its own message and often its own product. ### Low reviews or slow sites Filter for practices under 4.3 stars or with few reviews in a busy suburb. That's the reputation and client-communication list. ### Newly opened practices New clinics need equipment, software and staff at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your territory sends only newly listed practices. ## How to reach veterinarians ### Write to the practice manager In most practices the practice manager or hospital administrator runs vendors and purchasing; the owner veterinarian signs off on big decisions. If the only address is the front desk, ask for the manager by role. ### Know who can actually buy A clinic owned by a large group may not be able to change software, labs or suppliers locally. Don't spend a sequence on a manager who can't say yes. Find the group and pitch centrally, or skip it. ### Avoid the busiest hours Mornings are drop-offs and surgeries; late afternoons are appointments. Midday and after close are when managers catch up. Emergency hospitals run around the clock, so email is better than calling. ### Keep it business to business Veterinary records aren't covered by HIPAA, but some states protect them, and clients' personal details deserve care. Don't ask practices for client information. CAN-SPAM applies to your emails: honest subject, postal address, working opt-out.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Veterinarians lead lists: questions How many veterinary clinics are there in the US? The US Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts about 34,000 veterinary services establishments with paid employees (NAICS 541940), employing about 475,000 people. The BLS counts 91,100 veterinarian jobs in 2025. Google Maps also lists mobile and solo vets that may not show in Census employer counts. Can I get a veterinarian email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include practices just outside it. You can also limit the search to one type, such as emergency vets in Cook County, Illinois. Are the emails verified? Each email is taken from the practice's own website and checked against its live mail server. It's graded Verified (the mailbox answered), Accept-all (the server accepts every address, so it's a maybe, never a yes) or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported. How much does a veterinarian email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per practice, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Free gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Starter is $19 for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Growth is $49 for 100,000 and 5,000; Pro is $99 for 300,000 and 15,000; Scale is $149 for 600,000 and 30,000. Example: if a search of Texas finds 2,600 vet practices and you export 1,100 verified emails, that's 2,600 business credits and 1,100 checked-email credits, which fits in Growth at $49. Practices you already have are never charged again. Can I tell which clinics are corporate-owned? There's no ownership field. Clinics owned by the same group often share a website domain or link to a group site, so sorting by website catches many of them. Some acquired clinics keep their own name and site, so treat the result as a strong hint, not a certainty. Does the list include groomers and boarding kennels? Only if you search for them. Results that are off-trade for your search, like a groomer that showed up in a vet search, are shown but never charged or exported. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, 2023 County Business Patterns (US file, NAICS 541940)](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp/datasets/2023/cbp23us.zip) · Veterinary services establishments with paid employees. 2. 2.[US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook: Veterinarians](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/veterinarians.htm) ## See the veterinarians in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

There's no government count of wedding venues: no NAICS code covers them, and venues are spread across codes for event spaces, restaurants, hotels, golf and country clubs, wineries and farms. What is counted is demand. The CDC recorded about 2.04 million US marriages in 2023, and nearly every wedding needs a venue. On Google Maps, the market includes purpose-built venues (barns, estates, garden venues, ballrooms), banquet halls, and businesses for which weddings are a sideline (wineries, breweries, hotels, golf clubs, historic houses). Most dedicated venues are owner-run, often by a family, with a venue coordinator or sales manager handling tours. They earn most of their revenue in a few peak months, which shapes when and how they buy. ## What's in a wedding venue lead list Every row is one wedding venue business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for wedding venues: | Field | Why it matters for wedding venues | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | "Wedding venue" is the dedicated category, but many venues file as "Event venue", "Banquet hall" or "Winery". The categories column shows which businesses host weddings as their main line and which as a sideline. | | **email, grade, role and source** | Venue sites usually list an events or bookings inbox, and sometimes the coordinator's own address. Up to 5 emails per venue, each with role and source, let you reach the coordinator rather than a restaurant's general inbox. Invalid emails are never exported. | | **instagram, facebook, tiktok** | Venues sell on photos. Instagram is usually their main marketing channel, and the link lets you look at their feed before you write, which is the fastest way to personalize a pitch. | | **rating and reviews** | Couples leave detailed reviews. Review count shows how many weddings a venue hosts; reviews also show complaints (parking, sound limits, heat) that a vendor can solve. | | **website and contact\_form** | Most venues route inquiries through a form with date and guest count. A venue with no website, or an old one with no pricing or photo gallery, is a web design and marketing prospect. | | **address, lat/lng and distance** | Many venues are rural, outside city limits. Drawing an area or adding a radius around a metro catches the barns and estates a city search would miss, and distance tells a vendor how far they'd drive. | | **first\_seen** | New venues open every year, often on family land. A venue appearing for the first time needs everything at once and has no preferred vendor list yet. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every wedding venue No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** wedding venue, barn wedding venue, rustic wedding venue, outdoor wedding venue, garden wedding venue, estate wedding venue, farm wedding venue, vineyard wedding venue, winery, banquet hall, reception hall, event venue, event space, ballroom, wedding chapel, historic venue, country club, golf club, beach wedding venue, mountain wedding venue, lodge wedding venue, brewery event space, rooftop event venue. **Google Maps categories:** Wedding venue, Banquet hall, Event venue, Wedding chapel, Winery, Country club, Golf club, Function room facility. Leadraft includes these in its [Events keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#events) (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to wedding venues, and what works - **Wedding photographers, videographers, florists, DJs and caterers.** Ask to join the venue's preferred or recommended vendor list. Mention weddings you've already worked at similar venues, send a short portfolio link, and offer to photograph the venue itself for their marketing. - **Wedding marketing agencies and directory advertising.** Venues live on inquiries. Lead with one specific gap: no pricing on the site, slow inquiry follow-up, or weak Google reviews compared with the venue down the road. - **Venue booking and CRM software.** Coordinators juggle tours, contracts, payment plans and timelines across a whole season. Software that cuts the back-and-forth sells in the off-season, when they have time to set it up. - **Rentals, tents, furniture, lighting and restroom trailers.** Outdoor and barn venues often need tents, heaters, fans, restroom trailers and lighting. A seasonal package priced for the venue, not per couple, is the pitch. - **Insurance, cleaning and facility contractors.** Event liability, liquor liability and weekly turnovers are real costs for venues. Offer a specific scope and price for the peak season. ## How to segment and qualify a wedding venue list ### Dedicated venues vs sideline venues Split on category. Dedicated venues ("Wedding venue") live or die on weddings; wineries, hotels and golf clubs treat weddings as one revenue line among several and have an events manager rather than an owner on the inbox. ### By style Run separate search lines for barns, estates, vineyards, ballrooms and beach venues. A florist or a rentals company pitches a rustic barn differently from a downtown ballroom. ### Rural venues around a metro Draw a polygon or add a radius around the city you serve and include "inside + nearby" scope. Many of the most-booked venues sit outside city limits and are missed by a city-name search. ### By review count Review count is the best proxy for weddings per year. Busy venues have the most to offer a vendor on a preferred list; small venues are more open to new partners. ### New venues Set a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area to get only the venues that appear after your first search. A new venue is building its vendor list from scratch. ## How to reach wedding venues ### Pitch in the off-season In most of the US, peak wedding season runs from late spring through fall, with weekends fully booked. Coordinators have time in January and February, when they plan the year and update vendor lists. Avoid Fridays to Mondays in season, when they're running events. ### Venues book far ahead, so vendors should too Couples often book their venue a year or more before the date, then pick other vendors from the venue's recommendations. Getting on a venue's list now affects bookings next year, so treat it as a long relationship, not a one-off sale. ### Show, don't describe Venue owners care about how their space looks in photos. A link to a gallery of a wedding at a similar venue, or a photo of their own venue, gets more replies than a paragraph about your service. ### Follow CAN-SPAM and keep it B2B Your email is a commercial message to a business: truthful subject line, a real postal address and a working opt-out. Don't use the venue's list to contact couples who reviewed it. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your own program. ## How to find wedding venue leads: build the list in four steps 1. **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file). 2. **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above.

Each business is charged once, ever. ## Wedding venues lead lists: questions How many wedding venues are there in the US? There's no official count. Wedding venues don't have their own NAICS code, so the Census Bureau counts them inside codes for event spaces, restaurants, hotels, golf clubs, wineries and farms. What's measured is demand: the CDC recorded about 2.04 million US marriages in 2023 (provisional). Google Maps is one of the few places where dedicated venues and sideline venues sit in one list. Can I get a wedding venue email list for a specific city or state? Yes. Pick a city, county, ZIP code or state, or draw the area on a map, and choose whether to include venues just outside it. Because many venues are rural, drawing an area around a metro usually finds more than searching the city name. Are the emails verified? Each email comes from the venue's own website and is checked against its live mail server.

Example: a photographer who searches a 60-mile radius around Nashville and finds 450 venues, then exports 200 verified emails, uses 450 business credits and 200 checked-email credits. That's inside the Free plan's 500 businesses but over its 50 checked emails, so Starter at $19 covers it. Does the list include wineries, hotels and country clubs that host weddings? Only if you search for them. Add "winery", "country club", "banquet hall" or "event venue" as search lines and use the category column to separate them from dedicated wedding venues. Can I see a venue's Instagram before I email them? Yes. When a venue links its social accounts on its website or listing, the Instagram, Facebook and TikTok links are included as columns. ## Sources 1. 1.[CDC National Center for Health Statistics, FastStats: Marriage and Divorce](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/marriage-divorce.htm) · 2023 provisional data. 2. 2.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## See the wedding venues in your area, free Pick a city, county or ZIP code, or draw your territory.

Yoga studios don't have a clean government count. The Census Bureau's 2017 NAICS index puts yoga instruction, camps and schools under NAICS 611699 (all other miscellaneous schools and instruction), which had 7,912 establishments with paid employees in 2023, but that code also covers unrelated schools, and studios that run as fitness businesses are often counted with gyms under 713940. Studios are small and owner-led. Many teachers are part-time or independent contractors, and revenue comes from class packs, monthly memberships and teacher trainings. Boutique chains and franchises for yoga, hot yoga, Pilates and barre sit alongside thousands of single-location studios. California leads the 611699 count (1,232), then Florida (667), New York (609) and Texas (523). ## What's in a yoga studio lead list Every row is one yoga studio business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for yoga studios: | Field | Why it matters for yoga studios | | --- | --- | | **category / categories** | Separates Yoga studio from Pilates studio, Meditation center and Fitness center. Reformer and barre equipment makers want Pilates rows; mat and apparel brands want yoga rows. | | **email + grade** | Studios usually publish a hello@ or info@ address that the owner reads. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** is a maybe and deserves a more careful send. | | **website + website\_platform** | Studios sell class packs and memberships through a booking widget on their site. The platform column shows template-built sites; a studio with no site, or no online booking, is a lead for web and software vendors. | | **instagram / facebook / youtube** | Yoga studios market through social posts, reels and class videos. Active accounts point to studios that invest in marketing; empty ones are openings for social media agencies. | | **rating + reviews** | Review count tracks how many students a studio sees. Studios with strong reviews and several class times a day are the ones adding rooms and teacher trainings. | | **hours** | Studios with classes from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. are full-schedule businesses. Studios with only evening hours are often part-time or teacher-run. Hours also tell you when the owner might be teaching. | | **address + in\_area** | Some teachers list a home or a rented room as their studio. The area and address columns help you keep real storefront studios in your territory and spot private instructors. | About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). ## Search terms that find every yoga studio No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates. **Search terms:** yoga studio, yoga classes, hot yoga, bikram yoga, vinyasa yoga, power yoga, hatha yoga, yin yoga, ashtanga yoga, kundalini yoga, prenatal yoga, aerial yoga, yoga teacher training, yoga retreat, meditation center, pilates studio, reformer pilates, barre studio, barre classes, stretching studio, sound bath, breathwork class, mommy and me yoga, chair yoga. **Google Maps categories:** Yoga studio, Yoga instructor, Yoga retreat center, Pilates studio, Meditation center, Fitness center, Wellness center. Leadraft includes these in its [Fitness keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#fitness) (60 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade. ## Who sells to yoga studios, and what works - **Studio booking and membership software.** Class scheduling, class packs, memberships, waitlists and automated billing. Lead with fewer empty spots and less admin for the owner who also teaches. - **Yoga props, apparel and equipment brands.** Mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, heaters for hot rooms, reformers and barres. Studios buy in bulk and resell retail. Lead with wholesale pricing and the studio's own logo on mats. - **Marketing and web agencies.** Show the studio how it ranks for "yoga studio near me" and "hot yoga" in its neighborhood, and how its intro offer compares with the three nearest studios. - **Teacher training and continuing-education providers.** Studios host trainings for revenue and need specialty modules (prenatal, trauma-informed, yin). Offer workshops the studio can sell to its own students. - **Insurance providers.** Studios and teachers need general and professional liability, and landlords often ask for proof. A simple policy covering contract teachers is a concrete need. ## How to segment and qualify a yoga studio list ### Yoga vs Pilates vs barre Run separate searches and tag by category. Pilates studios buy expensive reformers; yoga studios buy mats and props; barre studios sit between. One pitch rarely fits all three. ### Hot yoga studios Hot rooms need heaters, humidity control, flooring and towel service. Search "hot yoga" and "bikram yoga" on their own for a focused equipment list. ### Independents vs chains Group by website domain. Many rows on one domain is a franchise or boutique chain that buys centrally. Independent studios decide at the location. ### Teacher training schools Studios that run teacher trainings are larger and more established. Search "yoga teacher training" and use them as a premium segment. ### Newly opened studios A new studio needs flooring, props, booking software, insurance and a website at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new studio listings as they appear on Google Maps. ## How to reach yoga studios ### The owner is often teaching Most studio owners teach several classes a day. Email so it lands mid-morning or early afternoon, between the morning and evening class rushes. Keep it short and specific. ### Match their tone Studio owners respond to calm, plain messages that show you've looked at their schedule or classes. Avoid hard sales language and urgency tricks. ### Time it around January and September January and the back-to-school weeks of September bring most new students. Offers that help a studio fill intro classes land best a few weeks before those peaks. ### CAN-SPAM and TCPA Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Many listed numbers are owners' cell phones, so calls and texts fall under the TCPA: dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade. 3. **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked. 4. **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever. ## Yoga studios lead lists: questions How do I find yoga studio leads? Pick your area in Leadraft (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), search terms such as yoga studio, hot yoga, vinyasa yoga, pilates studio and yoga teacher training, and Leadraft finds every matching studio on Google Maps inside that area. It finds emails on each studio's own website, checks them, and lets you export to CSV or XLSX or push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. How many yoga studios are there in the US? There's no official count of yoga studios alone. The Census Bureau files yoga instruction under NAICS 611699, which had 7,912 establishments with paid employees in 2023 along with other miscellaneous schools, and many studios are counted with gyms under 713940 (41,556 establishments). Teacher-run studios without payroll aren't in either number. A Google Maps search of your own area is the most useful count. How much does a yoga studio email list cost? Leadraft charges one business credit per studio, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 1,232 establishments in NAICS 611699 and 5,371 fitness centers (NAICS 713940), about 6,600 together, and yoga studios are a share of that. So a statewide California list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails). For 3,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city. Can I include Pilates and barre studios? Yes. Add pilates studio, reformer pilates and barre studio to your search terms. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories, so you can keep them together or split them into separate lists. Are the emails verified?

Check if domains accept mail, who hosts it, and their SPF and DMARC records. Up to 200 at once, CSV export. Free tool # Email domain checker: can this domain receive email? Enter a domain or an email address, or paste up to 200 in bulk mode. You'll see whether each can receive mail, who hosts it, and its SPF and DMARC records, with a CSV download. Free, no sign-up. ## What the domain checker looks up - **MX records.** The servers that accept mail for the domain, in priority order. No MX records usually means no email. - **Mail provider.** Recognized from the MX hostnames: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, GoDaddy, security gateways like Mimecast or Proofpoint, and others. - **SPF.** The TXT record listing which servers may send mail for the domain. Its presence says someone maintains the domain's email. - **DMARC.** The policy at `_dmarc.domain` telling receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. ## When to use it Before you add a business to a cold-email list, check that its domain can receive mail at all. Domains expire, businesses move to a new website, and contact pages keep listing addresses at domains nobody renews. A domain without MX records is a guaranteed bounce, and bounces cost you sender reputation. ## What a domain check can't tell you It can't confirm that `maria@brightsmiledental.com` exists. For that, a verifier opens an SMTP conversation with the mail server and asks about that one recipient, then hangs up before sending anything. And some servers are [catch-all](https://leadraft.co/glossary/catch-all-email): they accept every address, so even a mailbox check can't separate real from made-up. We explain the whole process in [how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works), and our own grading in the [verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification). ## Privacy The lookups go directly from your browser to Cloudflare's public DNS-over-HTTPS resolver (Google's as a fallback). Leadraft never sees the domains you check. ## Questions What does an email domain checker do? It looks up the domain's DNS records to see whether it can receive mail (MX records), which provider hosts its mail, and whether it publishes SPF and DMARC policies. It doesn't contact any mailbox. What is an MX record? A DNS record that names the mail servers that accept email for a domain, each with a priority. Senders try the lowest number first. A domain with no MX record and no address record can't receive mail. Does a valid domain mean the email address is valid? No. The domain check only proves the domain accepts mail. Whether a particular mailbox exists takes an SMTP check against the mail server, and catch-all servers accept every address, so even that can't always tell. Can I check many domains at once? Yes. Switch to bulk mode, paste up to 200 domains or email addresses, and download the results as a CSV with whether each accepts mail, its mail provider, MX hosts, SPF and DMARC. What is a null MX record? An MX record pointing to '.', defined in RFC 7505. It means the domain deliberately accepts no email. Every address at that domain will bounce. Why does it matter if a business uses Google Workspace or Microsoft 365? Both run strict spam filtering and both are common among small businesses. Knowing the provider helps you plan warm-up and sending volume, and it tells you the business has a real, maintained mailbox rather than a forgotten hosting account. ## More free tools - [How email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) - [Catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) - [Email permutatorEvery likely email address for a person at a company, most common first.](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-permutator) - [Lead list size calculatorWork back from the meetings you want to the number of businesses and verified emails you need.](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) - [Google Maps keyword generatorEvery search term for a trade, and keyword × city lines for complete Maps searches.](https://leadraft.co/tools/google-maps-keyword-generator) ## Want the whole list, with emails already checked?

Enter a name and a company domain to get every likely email format, most common first. Runs in your browser, nothing stored. Free tool # Email permutator: find the likely email address for anyone at a company Type a name and a company domain. You get every common email format, ordered from most to least likely, ready to verify. First nameMiddle name (optional)Last nameCompany domain Type a first name and a domain to see the likely addresses. ## How the email permutator works Most companies build every address from the same pattern. Once you know a person's name and the company's domain, there are only about twenty realistic formats. The tool writes them all out, plus the role addresses small businesses use most (info@, hello@, office@), so you can test them instead of guessing. ## Why the order matters The list is sorted by how often each format appears in practice. For a two-person plumbing company, `maria@` or `info@` is far more likely than `lopez.m@`. For a 200-person firm, `maria.lopez@` or `mlopez@` usually wins. Start at the top and stop at the first address that verifies. ## Never send to a guess: verify first A permutation is a hypothesis, not an address. Before you email one, check it: look up the domain's mail servers (our [email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker) does that), then ask the server whether the mailbox exists. Three things can happen: - **Verified:** the server confirmed the mailbox. Use it. - **Accept-all (catch-all):** the server says yes to every address, so the check proves nothing. Every permutation will "pass". Read [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) before sending to these. - **Invalid:** no such mailbox. Try the next format. ## A better source than guessing For local businesses, the real address is usually published on the business's own website: the contact page, the footer, the privacy policy. That's where Leadraft looks first. It reads each business's own site, keeps up to five addresses with their role and the page they came from, and checks every one against the live mail server. Permutations are the fallback when a site lists no address at all. ## Questions What is an email permutator? A tool that combines a person's first name, last name and company domain into every common email format (maria@, maria.lopez@, mlopez@ and so on), so you can test which one is real. Which email format is most common? At small, owner-run businesses the first name alone (maria@) and role addresses (info@, office@) are very common. Larger companies tend to use first.last@ or first initial plus last name. The only way to know for one company is to check a known address there or verify the candidates. How do I know which permutation is right? Verify the candidates with a mailbox check, one at a time. A Verified result means the mail server confirmed the mailbox. If the domain is catch-all, every candidate will look valid, so a check can't pick one: look for the address on the company's website instead. Is this tool free? Do you store what I type? It's free and runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored. Should I email every permutation? No. Sending to guessed addresses produces bounces, which hurt your sender reputation. Verify first and send only to addresses that pass. ## More free tools - [How to find a small business owner's email](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-business-owner-email) - [How email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) - [Email domain checkerDoes a domain accept email?

You get every search term and Google Maps category that finds it. Add your cities to get one line per search, ready to run. Trade or business typePlaces (optional, one per line) ## Why one keyword misses part of the market Google Maps shows a limited number of results per search, ranked around where it thinks you are. And each business picks its own primary category and wording. Search "dentist" and you'll get many dentists, but not all of the practices filed as "cosmetic dentist", "dental clinic" or "orthodontist", and not the ones beyond the first pages of results. ## How to use the list 1. **Generate the terms** for your trade and remove the ones that aren't your market (a web designer selling to dentists may skip dental labs). 2. **Add your places:** cities, suburbs or ZIP codes. Smaller places give more complete results than one big metro search. 3. **Run every line**, then combine the results and remove duplicates by the listing (Google's place ID), not by name. 4. **Drop what's outside your area or off-trade** before you look for emails. Leadraft does all four for you: you give it the trade and the place (or draw the area), and it runs every keyword across tiles of the map, keeps only businesses inside your area and in the trade, and charges each one once. See [how discovery works](https://leadraft.co/product/discovery). ## Questions Why do I need more than one keyword per trade on Google Maps? Businesses choose their own categories and describe themselves in their own words. A search for 'plumber' misses many businesses listed as 'drain cleaning service' or 'water heater installation'. Searching every variant and removing duplicates is how you get the whole market. What does keyword × city mean? Every search term combined with every place you sell to, as separate searches: 'plumber in Austin, TX', 'plumber in Round Rock, TX', 'drain cleaning service in Austin, TX' and so on. Smaller, local searches return businesses one big search leaves out. Where do these keywords come from? From Leadraft's keyword packs, built from the categories and words businesses actually use on Google Maps, and from our industry guides. They're written in US vocabulary; Leadraft's in-app suggestions adapt to each country. How many searches does a complete list take? Often hundreds: 20 keywords across 15 suburbs is 300 searches. That's normal, and it's why tools that run the searches for you exist. ## More free tools - [Keyword packs: every name a business goes by](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs) - [Google Maps business categories for lead generation](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-categories-list) - [Why Google Maps stops at about 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) - [Email permutatorEvery likely email address for a person at a company, most common first.](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-permutator) - [Email domain checkerDoes a domain accept email?

Formula: emails = meetings ÷ (reply rate × positive share × booking rate); businesses = emails ÷ email coverage. ## The math behind it A cold email campaign is a funnel, and each stage has a rate. Work backwards from the goal: 1. **Meetings ÷ booking rate** = positive replies you need. 2. **Positive replies ÷ positive share** = total replies you need. 3. **Replies ÷ reply rate** = emails you need to send, to verified addresses. 4. **Emails ÷ email coverage** = businesses your list needs. Worked example with the defaults: 10 meetings ÷ 50% = 20 positive replies; ÷ 35% = 57 replies; ÷ 3% = 1,905 emails; ÷ 35% coverage = 5,443 businesses. These rates are illustrations, not benchmarks. Put your own in. ## Choosing your email coverage Coverage is the share of businesses in your list that end up with a verified, sendable email. It depends on the trade (restaurants and salons often rely on social media; law firms and dentists usually publish an address) and on how hard you look. In our own measurements, about ~54% of business websites gave up an email address (found, before verification.). Coverage across a whole list is lower than that, because some businesses have no website and some addresses fail verification. ## Three things the numbers teach - **List size is rarely the bottleneck; list quality is.** Doubling the reply rate halves the list you need. Better targeting beats a bigger list. - **Only send to verified addresses.** Unverified addresses add bounces, not replies. Catch-all addresses are a maybe: test them in a small batch. - **Local markets run out.** There may be only 600 qualifying businesses in your area. Know the size of your market before you plan volume, and add new businesses as they open with a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors). ## Questions How many leads do I need for cold email? Divide the meetings you want by your reply rate, the share of replies that are positive, and the share of positive replies that book. At a 3% reply rate, 35% positive and 50% booking, 10 meetings need about 1,905 emails to verified addresses. What reply rate should I assume? Use your own past campaigns if you have them. If you don't, start conservative and adjust after your first few hundred sends: reply rates vary widely by offer, list quality and copy. Why is 'businesses with a usable email' so much lower than 100%? Not every business has a website, not every website publishes an email, and not every email passes a mailbox check. You need more businesses than emails. Does the calculator use Leadraft's results? No. Every rate is an editable assumption. The only Leadraft number referenced on this page is our measured email-found rate on business websites, shown with its caveat. ## More free tools - [Google Maps lead generation: the complete playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) - [What's a good cold email bounce rate?](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) - [Email permutatorEvery likely email address for a person at a company, most common first.](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-permutator) - [Email domain checkerDoes a domain accept email?

This page explains how Leadraft decides which businesses belong in your results, why it finds more of them than a plain Google Maps search, and the limits of that. ## What does "in your area" mean?[#](#what-does-in-your-area-mean) You choose a place before you search: a city, county or postcode, a polygon you draw, a radius, or a KML file. Every business we find is measured against that shape: - **Inside** the area: distance 0. - **Nearby**: outside, with its distance from the edge in kilometres. - **Wrong country**: dropped outright, along with businesses whose country we can't tell. You also choose a **scope** before you pay: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Scope | What counts | | --- | --- | | Inside | Only businesses inside the area | | Inside + nearby | Inside, plus those within the distance you set | | Everything | Everything the search returns in the area's country | Businesses outside your scope are still **shown** to you, labeled with their distance, so you can see what's around. They are **never charged** and never exported. ## What does "on topic" mean?[#](#what-does-on-topic-mean) A search for "dentist" also turns up dental labs, pharmacies and the café next door. We check each business's **Google category code**. It's the same code in every language, so "Klempner", "plombier" and "plumber" are one trade. A business whose category doesn't match the trade you searched for is kept for you to see, but **never charged or exported**. ## Why do we find more businesses than a plain search?[#](#why-do-we-find-more-businesses-than-a-plain-search) A single Google Maps search stops after a couple of hundred results, and it ranks by relevance to where the searcher is. Big areas get cut off. Leadraft splits your area into tiles, each small enough that Google returns everything in it. It splits busy tiles again until each one is exhausted, then merges the results and removes duplicates by Google's own place ID. For named places, we also ask the question two ways: the trade on its own over the map view, and "trade in town". Google answers them from different paths through its index, and neither result contains the other. ## Measured runs[#](#measured-runs) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Run | Baseline | Leadraft | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Portland, "coffee shop" | 230 (one plain search) | **457** | One city, one keyword.

One 30-minute run. | These are single measured runs, not guarantees. Results depend on the trade, the place and how well businesses keep their listings up to date. ## Duplicates and repeat charges[#](#duplicates-and-repeat-charges) Every business has one Google place ID, and that's what we use to match records, never name and address text. If two searches in your organization find the same business, it's one record and **one credit, once, ever**. ## Limits[#](#limits) - We can only find businesses that are listed on Google Maps. - A business with a vague or wrong listing may be placed outside your area or under the wrong trade. - Completeness depends on your keywords. Our keyword packs and suggestions help, but a trade nobody searches for can still be missed. ## Sources 1. 1.Portland run: "coffee shop", tiled search vs one plain search · internal measurement, one city 2. 2.Georgia run: 20 keywords, city-by-city vs plain tiles · internal measurement, 30 minutes 3. 3.Billing rule: only businesses inside your scope and on topic use credits · Leadraft billing ## See it on your own market The free plan includes 500 businesses and 50 checked emails, and a free preview before any search runs.

These guesses are only offered when the domain has a working mail server, and they're checked like any other address. ## How is an email checked?[#](#how-is-an-email-checked) Every address goes through the same steps: 1. **Syntax and clean-up**: malformed addresses are rejected and the rest are normalized. 2. **Disposable domains** are flagged against a public list of throwaway email providers that's refreshed weekly. 3. **Mail servers**: we look up the domain's MX records, the servers that accept its mail. 4. **Mailbox check**: we connect to that server and ask whether it will accept mail for the address (`RCPT TO`). Then we **hang up before any message is sent**. No email reaches anyone. 5. **Catch-all check**: we also ask about a random address that can't exist on the same domain. If the server says yes to that too, it accepts everything, and its yes about the real address proves nothing. We pace ourselves: one connection per mail server at a time, with pauses between checks. ## What do the grades mean?[#](#what-do-the-grades-mean) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Grade | Meaning | Exported? | Uses a credit? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Verified** | The mail server confirmed this mailbox exists, and the domain doesn't accept everything | Yes, by default | Yes | | **Accept-all** | The domain accepts any address, so this one can't be confirmed. A maybe, never a yes | Only if you choose | No | | **Invalid** | The server rejected it, or the domain has no mail server | Never | No | ## What happens when we can't tell?[#](#what-happens-when-we-cant-tell) Some servers throttle or delay checks, and sometimes our checker is unavailable. **A check that fails is never graded invalid.** The address waits and is checked again later. We would rather show you fewer verified emails than call a working address dead, or a dead one verified. ## What we never do[#](#what-we-never-do) - Send an email to check an address. - Mark an address verified on a mail server lookup alone. - Call accept-all addresses verified. - Charge you for addresses that aren't verified. ## Limits[#](#limits) A verified grade means the mailbox accepted mail when we checked it. People leave jobs and mailboxes close, so check again before a big send if the list is old. Some large providers don't answer mailbox checks reliably. Those addresses take longer to grade, and some can't be graded at all. ## Sources 1. 1.[RFC 5321: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (the RCPT TO command)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321) 2. 2.[disposable-email-domains: public list of throwaway email providers](https://github.com/disposable-email-domains/disposable-email-domains) 3. 3.Catch-all share of business domains (roughly 15–28%) · internal measurement ## Only pay for emails that check out Every plan includes checked emails.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Find Google Maps leads from Claude with MCP: setup, prompts and limits Find local business leads from Claude, Cursor or other AI assistants with MCP: what MCP is, how to connect, example prompts, credit guardrails and limits. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Product You can find local business leads from an AI assistant by connecting it to a lead tool's MCP server: then you ask "find roofers in Denver with verified emails" in plain English, and the assistant starts the search, checks on it, and reads back businesses with their emails and grades. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets assistants like Claude call outside tools. With Leadraft's server, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code can connect today with an API key. ChatGPT can't connect to it directly yet, for a reason explained below. ## What is MCP, in plain terms?[#](#what-is-mcp-in-plain-terms) MCP is an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems. The official site compares it to a USB-C port for AI applications: one standard plug, many tools. Anthropic introduced it in November 2024, and clients including Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code and Cursor now support it. An **MCP server** offers a set of tools, each with a name, a description and parameters. An **MCP client** (your assistant) reads those descriptions and decides when to call a tool, based on what you asked. You don't write code or call the tools yourself. For lead generation, that means the assistant can do the clicking for you: start a search, wait for it, filter the results, and turn them into a table or a summary. ## Which AI assistants can connect to Leadraft's MCP server?[#](#which-ai-assistants-can-connect-to-leadrafts-mcp-server) Any MCP client that can connect to a remote server over streamable HTTP and send an API key in the `Authorization` header. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Client | Works? | How | | --- | --- | --- | | Claude Code | Yes | `claude mcp add --transport http` with a header | | Cursor | Yes | `~/.cursor/mcp.json` or `.cursor/mcp.json` in a project | | VS Code | Yes | `.vscode/mcp.json` | | Claude Desktop | Yes | Bridged through `mcp-remote` (needs Node.js) | | ChatGPT | Not yet | Its connectors use OAuth and can't send an API key header | On ChatGPT: its connectors use OAuth, and clients that only connect through OAuth can't send an API key header, so ChatGPT can't connect to Leadraft's MCP server yet. If you live in ChatGPT, the [REST API](https://leadraft.co/docs/api) is the alternative for now. ## How do I connect Claude Code or Cursor to Leadraft?[#](#how-do-i-connect-claude-code-or-cursor-to-leadraft) Three steps, about a minute: 1. **Create an API key.** In Leadraft, open Settings and create an API key. Use a read-only key if the assistant should never start searches. 2. **Add the server** to your client. 3. **Ask** for businesses in plain English. The server details: - **URL:** `https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/` - **Transport:** streamable HTTP (stateless, JSON responses) - **Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer `, the same keys as the REST API For Claude Code, one command: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http leadraft https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/ \ --header "Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key" ``` Claude Code stores this for the current project by default. Add `--scope user` to use it in all your projects. For Cursor (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "leadraft": { "url": "https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lg_your_key" } } } } ``` For Claude Desktop (`claude_desktop_config.json`), bridged through `mcp-remote`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "leadraft": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key"] } } } ``` Snippets for VS Code and the rest are in the [MCP server docs](https://leadraft.co/docs/mcp). ## What tools does the assistant get?[#](#what-tools-does-the-assistant-get) Six. The assistant picks which to call; you only ask. Behind `start_search`, the same pipeline runs as in the web app: The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | What it does | Needs write access | | --- | --- | --- | | `start_search` | Starts finding businesses from "keyword in location" lines, like "plumber in Austin, TX". Options: `email_required` (default true) and `region` for ambiguous place names | Yes | | `search_status` | A search's progress: running, finishing, paused or completed, searches done, businesses and emails found so far | No | | `find_leads` | Your businesses, newest first, each with its best sendable email. Filters: search, keyword, text, category, city, state, country, has email, email grade, minimum rating. Up to 200 per call | No | | `get_lead` | One business in full: address, phone, website, hours, every email with its grade and source, and which searches found it | No | | `list_searches` | Your last 100 searches, with status and counts | No | | `credits` | Your plan, this period's allowance and what's left | No | One limit to know: `start_search` uses the default scope, which is everything the search returns. To count only businesses inside a place, or inside it plus a ring around it, start the search in the app or through the API. ## What can I ask? Example prompts[#](#what-can-i-ask-example-prompts) Start simple, then chain steps. These all work with the six tools above: - "How many business credits do I have left this month?" - "Find roofers in Denver, CO with verified emails. Tell me when the search is done." - "Is my roofers search done yet? How many have an email?" - "Show me the 20 best-rated dentists from that search, with their emails, as a table." - "Start searches for HVAC companies in Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa, AZ." - "Which of yesterday's plumbers have a rating above 4.5 and a website?" Where an assistant earns its keep is the work around the list: - "From my Austin plumbers search, group the Verified leads by category and draft one first line per group, using their city and review count." - "Compare the dentist searches I ran in Tempe and Mesa: how many businesses, how many with a Verified email, and the average rating in each." - "Get the full record for the top five leads and tell me which have a contact form on their site but no email." Check what the assistant writes before you send anything. It works from the data the tools return, but it can still summarize wrongly. ## Is this "vibe prospecting"?[#](#is-this-vibe-prospecting) Yes, if you mean the same thing most people do by it: describing the leads you want in plain English and letting an AI assistant run the search, rather than building filters by hand. The term is informal. What decides whether it works is not the prompt but the tool behind it: whether it covers the whole area, keeps to your trade, and checks emails before they reach your sequencer. ## What guardrails stop an assistant from overspending?[#](#what-guardrails-stop-an-assistant-from-overspending) The same rules as the app, plus a few habits. - **Same credits.** Searches use business credits as businesses are found, and each business is charged once, ever, however it was found. Reading a Verified email uses a checked-email credit the first time. - **Read-only keys.** A read-only key can call everything except `start_search`. Give one to any assistant that only needs to read and summarize. - **Ask for a budget check.** Start sessions with "Check my credits first, and confirm the number of search lines before starting anything." - **Rate limit.** Tool calls count against the key's limit of 120 requests a minute. - **Your data only.** A key belongs to your organization; the assistant can only see your searches and businesses. Revoke a key any time in Settings. ## MCP lead tool or a web-browsing agent: which should I use?[#](#mcp-lead-tool-or-a-web-browsing-agent-which-should-i-use) Use a web-browsing agent for a handful of businesses or one-off research, and a lead tool over MCP for lists. Browsing agents (assistants that drive a real browser) can open Google Maps, read a page of results and visit websites. That's useful for "tell me about these three bakeries". It's a poor fit for "every bakery in Chicago": Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Web-browsing agent | Lead tool over MCP | | --- | --- | --- | | Coverage | What it scrolls past in one session, and a single Maps search stops after roughly 120 results | Whatever the tool's search covers; in Leadraft's case, the area split into tiles and deduped | | Output | Text it copied from pages, which can be mis-copied | Structured rows: name, category, phone, website, rating, reviews, coordinates | | Emails | Whatever it finds on pages, unchecked | Found on each business's own site and graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid | | Repeat runs | Starts from scratch each time | Searches and leads saved, deduped, never charged twice | | Terms | Google's Maps terms restrict scraping and automated access | Depends on the tool; read its terms and acceptable-use policy | | Cost | Assistant usage only | Tool credits, plus assistant usage | There's a third option worth knowing: Google's own Maps MCP server, Maps Experience agent tools (formerly Grounding Lite). It's built for answering questions about places, weather and routes, not for lists: as of October 2026 its place search returns up to 5 places per call on the Essentials tier (6 to 10 on Pro, for select customers), at $7 per 1,000 requests after a free monthly allowance, and Google requires that its Maps content isn't cached or stored by the model. If you want an assistant to recommend a restaurant, use Google's. If you want a list of every restaurant in a county, use a lead tool. ## Is it legal to use AI agents for lead generation?[#](#is-it-legal-to-use-ai-agents-for-lead-generation) The same rules apply as for any other prospecting. Google's Maps Platform terms say customers won't "export, extract, or otherwise scrape Google Maps Content for use outside the Services", which is a contract matter. Data-protection law applies to personal data, even when it's public. And email law, such as CAN-SPAM in the US, applies to whatever you send. An AI assistant doesn't change any of that. Read [our take on the legal questions](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) and get legal advice for your situation. For the rest of the process, from keywords to sending, see the [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is MCP?[#](#what-is-mcp) The Model Context Protocol is an open standard, introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, for connecting AI applications such as Claude or ChatGPT to external tools and data. An MCP server exposes tools; the assistant decides when to call them. ### Can I use ChatGPT to find leads with MCP?[#](#can-i-use-chatgpt-to-find-leads-with-mcp) Not yet. Leadraft's MCP server needs an API key in the Authorization header, and ChatGPT's connectors use OAuth, which can't send one. Use Claude Code, Claude Desktop (through mcp-remote), Cursor or VS Code, or the REST API. ### Does finding leads through an AI assistant cost extra?[#](#does-finding-leads-through-an-ai-assistant-cost-extra) Not with Leadraft. Searches the assistant starts use the same business credits as the app, and reading a Verified email uses a checked-email credit the first time, exactly as in the app. Ask the assistant to check credits before a big search. ### Can an AI agent just browse Google Maps for leads instead?[#](#can-an-ai-agent-just-browse-google-maps-for-leads-instead) It can open Maps in a browser and read a page of results, which is fine for a handful of businesses. For a full list it has to scroll and copy one result at a time, it can mis-copy details, and it doesn't verify emails. Google's Maps terms also restrict scraping. A lead tool exposed over MCP returns structured rows with graded emails. ### How do I stop the assistant from starting expensive searches?[#](#how-do-i-stop-the-assistant-from-starting-expensive-searches) Give it a read-only API key, which can read leads and searches but not start new ones. With a write key, ask it to call credits first and to confirm the number of search lines before starting. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Apify Google Maps Scraper alternatives (and what Apify really costs) Apify Google Maps Scraper alternatives compared on price, emails, verification and setup, with Apify's per-event costs by plan as of October 2026. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Comparison The best alternative to Apify's Google Maps Scraper for **local business leads** is Leadraft (we make it). Instead of adding up place events, contact add-ons and a separate verifier, you get the businesses in your area, emails from their own websites, and a mailbox check on every email in one monthly plan. 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan. Below are Apify's real costs by plan and the facts on six other options people compare it with. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Prices and features come from each vendor's own pages, checked in October 2026 and linked in the Sources. Last checked: November 3, 2026, when we re-read Apify's per-event prices from the actor's public listing and its platform pricing page. Both were unchanged._ ## Why do people look for Apify alternatives for Google Maps?[#](#why-do-people-look-for-apify-alternatives-for-google-maps) Mostly to make costs and setup simpler. Apify's Google Maps Scraper is the most-used Maps actor on the platform: 675,908 total users and a 4.71 rating on its page, and 4.8 from 817 reviews on Trustpilot, as of October 2026. Its reviewers praise ease, ready-made tools and reliability. The recurring reasons to look elsewhere are these. - **Cost is a sum of events.** You pay per place, then per add-on: contacts, filters, reviews, images, social profiles, people leads, verification. One reviewer wrote that "credits go fast at scale, so clearer cost estimates before a run would help" (October 2026). - **Plan changes the price.** The same place costs $4 per 1,000 on Free and $1.50 on Business. Some add-ons cost far more on Free. - **Verification doesn't cover website emails.** The Email verification add-on checks emails from the people-lead enrichment, not the business emails found on websites. - **It's a developer-leaning tool.** You set inputs, filters and limits, and handle the output. Store-wide, a reviewer noted that "actor quality varies a bit since many are community-built." - **Unused usage doesn't roll over** to the next billing cycle. ## What does Apify's Google Maps Scraper really cost?[#](#what-does-apifys-google-maps-scraper-really-cost) Here are the actor's per-1,000 prices by Apify plan, from its pricing events as of October 2026. Platform plans: Free ($0, $5 of usage), Starter ($19), Scale ($199), Business ($999), each including that much usage. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Event, per 1,000 | Free | Starter | Scale | Business | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Place scraped | $4.00 | $3.00 | $2.00 | $1.50 | | Company contacts enrichment (website emails, socials) | $2.00 | $2.00 | $1.50 | $1.05 | | Filter applied (per filter) | $1.00 | $1.00 | $0.75 | $0.53 | | Business leads enrichment (people) | $100.00 | $5.00 | $5.00 | $4.00 | | Email verification (people-lead emails, decisive results only) | $100.00 | $4.00 | $3.00 | $2.00 | | Review scraped | $0.50 | $0.50 | $0.37 | $0.26 | The plan names map to Apify's Free, Bronze, Silver and Gold pricing tiers. Verification charges only for decisive results (valid, invalid, disposable), not for catch-all or unknown. **Worked example: 1,000 dentists with website emails.** On Starter: 1,000 places ($3) + contacts enrichment ($2) = **$5**. Add one filter, such as "has a website", and it's $6. Then run the website emails through a separate verifier. On the Free plan the same run is $6, more than the $5 monthly credit. ## What does a usable list cost on Apify, all in?[#](#what-does-a-usable-list-cost-on-apify-all-in) The per-place price is only the first line. A list you can send to adds website emails, often a filter, a separate verifier for those emails, and the time to remove rows you didn't want. Here's 10,000 places with company contacts enrichment and one filter on each plan, from the event prices above. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Plan (monthly fee) | Places | Contacts enrichment | One filter | Actor events total | Within the included usage? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free ($0) | $40.00 | $20.00 | $10.00 | **$70.00** | No: over the $5 of monthly usage | | Starter ($19) | $30.00 | $20.00 | $10.00 | **$60.00** | No: over the $19 of included usage | | Scale ($199) | $20.00 | $15.00 | $7.50 | **$42.50** | Yes, within $199 | | Business ($999) | $15.00 | $10.50 | $5.25 | **$30.75** | Yes, within $999 | Then add the costs that don't appear on the actor page: - **Verification of website emails.** The actor's Email verification add-on covers people-lead emails, so website emails need a separate verifier. At $3 per 1,000 (Outscraper's published verifier rate), 5,000 found emails add about $15. - **Rows you didn't want.** Places outside your area and in neighboring trades are billed like the rest, so cleaning happens after you've paid. A drawn polygon reduces this. - **Usage that expires.** Unused plan usage doesn't roll over, so a plan bought for one big run is partly wasted in a quiet month. - **Your time.** Setting inputs, checking runs and joining the output to your other tools. If you already work in Apify, this is small. If you don't, it's the biggest cost. ### What about cheaper community actors?[#](#what-about-cheaper-community-actors) The Apify Store lists many other Google Maps actors built by independent developers, some advertised at lower prices per 1,000 places than the official one. That's a real alternative that keeps you on the same platform. Quality and upkeep vary from actor to actor, so check each one's rating, number of users, last update and open issues, and run a small test before a big job. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## How do the Apify alternatives compare?[#](#how-do-the-apify-alternatives-compare) Here's the comparison at a glance, as of October 2026.

Plans: Free (500 businesses, 50 checked emails a month), Starter $19 (25,000 and 1,000), Growth $49 (100,000 and 5,000), Pro $99 (300,000 and 15,000), Scale $149 (600,000 and 30,000). Unused credits roll over. Every plan has polygon, radius and KML areas, the REST API and an MCP server. It's narrower than Apify: no reviews, photos or people leads. See [Leadraft vs Apify](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify). ### 2\. Outscraper: fixed per-task prices[#](#2-outscraper-fixed-per-task-prices) Outscraper charges $3 per 1,000 places (first 500 free, $1 per 1,000 over 100,000), the same for emails and contacts, and the same for its separate verifier (first 25 free). Prepaid credits never expire. It has a reviews scraper and a broad field set. See [Leadraft vs Outscraper](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper). ### 3\. G Maps Extractor: low cost per record[#](#3-g-maps-extractor-low-cost-per-record) Cloud plans run from Free (1,000 records a month) to $149 for 500,000 records, about $0.30 per 1,000. A Chrome and Edge extension can extract saved place lists, and there's an API and an MCP server. Business emails aren't described as verified. See [Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor). ### 4\. Lobstr.io: pay per result, no code[#](#4-lobstrio-pay-per-result-no-code) One credit per result; emails from the website cost one more credit, only when found. Starter is $20 for 10,000 credits. It runs one search per ZIP code and dedupes. It has a REST API, Make, Google Sheets export and an MCP server. ### 5\. Octoparse: a visual scraper[#](#5-octoparse-a-visual-scraper) Octoparse's advanced Google Maps template ($2 per 1,000 lines) says it can exceed the 120-result limit by splitting the map. Its Email Finder template is $0.50 per 1,000 lines. Paid plans start at $69 a month billed annually. It's a general scraper for many kinds of sites, built around a point-and-click editor. ### 6\. Bright Data: the data-infrastructure route[#](#6-bright-data-the-data-infrastructure-route) 5,000 records a month free, then $1.50 per 1,000, or $499 a month for 384,000 records. A hosted MCP server and a ready-made Maps dataset. No email finding is described on the page, so emails and verification are separate steps. ### 7\. Open source: gosom/google-maps-scraper[#](#7-open-source-gosomgoogle-maps-scraper) The most-starred open-source option, MIT-licensed, with about 7,100 stars and updates in October 2026. It's free to run, but you supply servers, proxies and fixes when Google changes its pages. More in [free Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/free-google-maps-scraper). ## Where does Leadraft fit?[#](#where-does-leadraft-fit) Leadraft is built for one job: a list of local businesses in a given area, with emails you can send to. It isn't a scraping platform, so it's worth being clear about what it does and doesn't do. - **What it does.** Finds every business for a trade inside a city, county, ZIP, polygon, radius or KML area, past the 120-result cap. Finds emails on each business's own website. Checks each one against the mail server and grades it Verified, Accept-all or Invalid. Pushes the list to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist, HubSpot, Sheets, Zapier, webhooks, the REST API or the MCP server. - **How it charges.** Once per business, ever. Out-of-area and wrong-trade rows are shown free and not charged. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. - **What it doesn't do.** Review text, images, people leads, Q&A, or scrapers for other websites. It searches Google Maps only. ## Which Apify alternative should you use?[#](#which-apify-alternative-should-you-use) For local business leads, use Leadraft. Take the 10,000-place run above: on Apify's Starter rates it's $60 of actor events plus about $15 to verify 5,000 website emails elsewhere, around $75 before you remove out-of-area rows. In Leadraft, 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan, verification is included, rows outside your area are never charged, and next month's re-run only charges for new businesses. You can test the same search on the free plan first: 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, no card. ## How do you switch from Apify?[#](#how-do-you-switch-from-apify) 1. **Export your inputs.** Copy the search terms and locations from your actor runs. 2. **Run one search in both tools.** Same keyword, same area, on free tiers where possible. 3. **Count what matters.** Unique businesses inside the area, then emails that pass a mailbox check. Catch-all addresses are a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). 4. **Compare the full bill.** Apify's usage line for the run, plus any separate verifier. 5. **Replace the plumbing.** Swap actor webhooks for the new tool's webhooks, API or native push. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best alternative to Apify's Google Maps Scraper?[#](#what-is-the-best-alternative-to-apifys-google-maps-scraper) For local business leads, Leadraft. It finds the businesses in your area, finds emails on their websites and checks every one, all inside a flat monthly plan. 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan, against about $75 on Apify's Starter rates once you add contacts enrichment, a filter and a separate verifier. Other options people look at include Outscraper, G Maps Extractor, Lobstr.io and Bright Data; their prices are in the table on this page. ### How much does Apify's Google Maps Scraper cost?[#](#how-much-does-apifys-google-maps-scraper-cost) As of October 2026 it charges per event: $4 per 1,000 places on the Free plan, $3 on Starter, $2 on Scale and $1.50 on Business. Add-ons cost extra, for example company contacts enrichment at $2 per 1,000 places on Free and Starter. Platform plans run from Free ($5 of usage a month) to Business ($999). ### Is Apify's Google Maps Scraper free?[#](#is-apifys-google-maps-scraper-free) The Free plan includes $5 of usage a month. At $4 per 1,000 places, that's about 1,250 places without add-ons, or about 830 with company contacts enrichment. Access stops until the next cycle when the credit runs out. ### Does Apify's Google Maps Scraper verify emails?[#](#does-apifys-google-maps-scraper-verify-emails) Its Email verification add-on checks emails from the business-leads enrichment (people at the company), per the actor's input settings. Website emails from the company contacts enrichment need a separate verifier. ### Is there an open-source alternative to Apify for Google Maps?[#](#is-there-an-open-source-alternative-to-apify-for-google-maps) Yes. gosom/google-maps-scraper on GitHub is MIT-licensed and actively maintained as of October 2026.

As of November 2026. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Apify pricing explained: what 10,000 Google Maps leads really cost Apify pricing explained for Google Maps leads: plans, per-event prices, add-ons, worked examples for 10,000 places and the hidden costs. As of November 2026. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Comparison On Apify, 10,000 Google Maps places cost **$30 on the Starter plan** with Apify's own Google Maps Scraper, as of November 2026. Add emails from each business's website and it's about **$46**. Apify doesn't verify those website emails, so budget about **$15 more** for a verifier if 5,000 emails come back. The price per place drops on bigger plans ($2 per 1,000 on Scale, $1.50 on Business), but those plans cost $199 and $999 a month, so they only pay off at volume. The rest of this page explains how Apify bills, lists every Google Maps add-on by plan, works through four 10,000-lead examples, and covers the costs people miss. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this, and we make a competing tool (covered at the end). Every Apify price below comes from Apify's own pages, checked in November 2026 and linked in the Sources. Apify changes prices, so check the actor's Pricing tab before you run._ ## How does Apify pricing work?[#](#how-does-apify-pricing-work) You pay a monthly plan that includes the same amount of prepaid usage, and every actor run draws on that usage. Above it, you pay the overage on your next invoice, up to a limit you set. Two kinds of actor pricing exist in the Apify Store: - **Pay per event.** The developer sets a fixed price for events such as "place scraped" or "review scraped". Apify's Google Maps Scraper works this way, and its page says you're "not charged for the Apify platform usage", only the events. - **Pay per usage.** You pay for what the run consumes: compute units ($0.20 per CU on Free and Starter), proxies, storage and data transfer. Some pay-per-event actors also charge usage, so read each actor's pricing section. Your plan also sets your **Apify Store discount tier**: none on Free, Bronze on Starter, Silver on Scale, Gold on Business. Each actor that supports discounts has a price per tier, which is why the same place costs $4 per 1,000 on one plan and $1.50 on another. ## What are Apify's plans?[#](#what-are-apifys-plans) There are four self-serve plans plus Enterprise, priced as of November 2026. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly, per month | Included usage | Store discount | Max concurrent runs | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | $0 | $5 | None | 5 | | Starter | $19 | $17 | $19 | Bronze | 32 | | Scale | $199 | $179 | $199 | Silver | 128 | | Business | $999 | $899 | $999 | Gold | 256 | | Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Three rules from Apify's pricing page shape your bill: 1. **Included usage expires.** "Unused usage credits are not rolled over to the next billing cycle." Use it or lose it. 2. **Overage has a ceiling you set.** On Starter, the usage limit you can set is at most $100 a month, per Apify's own example. 3. **Free stops at $5.** Free accounts are blocked until the next monthly cycle once the $5 is gone. ## What does the Google Maps Scraper charge per event?[#](#what-does-the-google-maps-scraper-charge-per-event) The base event is $3 per 1,000 places on Starter. Every add-on is a separate event with its own price. These are the prices on the actor's Pricing tab as of November 2026, converted to per 1,000. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Event | Free | Starter | Scale | Business | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Place scraped | $4.00 | $3.00 | $2.00 | $1.50 | | Filter applied (per place, per filter) | $1.00 | $1.00 | $0.75 | $0.53 | | Additional place details (per place) | $2.00 | $2.00 | $1.50 | $1.05 | | Company contacts enrichment (per place) | $2.00 | $2.00 | $1.50 | $1.05 | | Business leads enrichment (per lead) | $100.00 | $5.00 | $5.00 | $4.00 | | Email verification (per decisive result) | $100.00 | $4.00 | $3.00 | $2.00 | | Social media profile enrichment (per profile) | $100.00 | $8.00 | $7.00 | $6.00 | | Review scraped | $0.50 | $0.50 | $0.37 | $0.26 | | Image scraped | $0.50 | $0.50 | $0.37 | $0.26 | What each add-on does: - **Company contacts enrichment** visits the business website and pulls emails, phones and social links. Apify's help article says places without a website carry no extra fee. - **Business leads enrichment** returns named people at the business: full name, job title, work email, LinkedIn profile. - **Email verification** only checks business-leads emails. It charges for valid, invalid and disposable results, and not for catch-all, unknown or error results. - **Filters** (category, title match, minimum stars, website, skip closed) are charged per place, per filter. - **Actor start** is $0.00005 per GB of memory per run, which rounds to nothing. Apify also publishes a separate **Google Maps Email Extractor** actor, with contacts enrichment switched on by default. Its Starter prices are $4 per 1,000 places plus $2 per 1,000 for contacts, so it's dearer than running the main scraper with the contacts add-on. ## How much do 10,000 Google Maps leads cost on Apify?[#](#how-much-do-10000-google-maps-leads-cost-on-apify) Between $30 and about $107 on Starter, depending on what you switch on. Here are four common setups. Assumptions (ours, for the arithmetic): one month, 10,000 places, 8,000 with a website, 5,000 company emails found. All prices are Starter rates. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Setup | What's charged | Total | | --- | --- | --- | | **A. Places only** | 10,000 × $3/1,000 | **$30** | | **B. Places + website emails** | $30 + 8,000 × $2/1,000 | **$46** | | **C. B + one filter + verify the emails** | $46 + $10 filter + about $15 with an outside verifier at $3/1,000 | **about $71** | | **D. B + named people, verified** | $46 + 4,000 leads × $5/1,000 ($20) + 4,000 checks × $4/1,000 ($16) | **$82**, or about $107 with C's filter and verifier | How the plan fee fits in: Starter's $19 covers the first $19 of events. Setup B is $46 of events, so you pay the $19 fee plus $27 of overage, $46 in total. The plan fee isn't added on top. The 4,000 named people in setup D is an assumption too. How many leads a small local business returns depends on whether its staff have public profiles, and many single-location businesses have none. Run a test on your own trade before you budget for it. The same 10,000 places on the **Free plan** would cost $40 in places alone, eight times the $5 allowance, so Free can't do it. On **Scale**, setup B is $32 of events, but you pay the $199 fee. ## Which Apify plan is cheapest for your volume?[#](#which-apify-plan-is-cheapest-for-your-volume) Starter, until your monthly events pass about $100. After that you need Scale, and Business only pays off at roughly 300,000 places a month. Using setup B (places plus website emails, 80% of places with a site): Scroll horizontally if needed → | Places per month | Starter | Scale | Business | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5,000 | $23 | $199 | $999 | | 10,000 | $46 | $199 | $999 | | 20,000 | $92 | $199 | $999 | | 50,000 | Over the $100 limit | $199 | $999 | | 100,000 | Over the limit | $320 | $999 | | 300,000 | Over the limit | $960 | $999 | | 500,000 | Over the limit | $1,600 | $1,170 | The decision rule: Starter costs $4.60 per 1,000 places in this setup, Scale $3.20 and Business about $2.34. On Apify, the cheapest plan is the one whose fee your usage will fill. Paying yearly takes 10% off each fee. ## What hidden costs should you plan for?[#](#what-hidden-costs-should-you-plan-for) The per-place price is clear. The total is what surprises people. These are the costs that aren't in the headline. 1. **Verifying website emails.** The verification add-on only covers business-leads emails. The `info@` and `office@` addresses from company contacts enrichment need an outside verifier. See [best email verifiers](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-email-verifiers) for prices per 1,000. 2. **Catch-all results.** Many small-business mail servers accept every address, so a verifier can't confirm the mailbox. Apify doesn't charge for catch-all results, but they're still a maybe you'll have to decide on ([catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). 3. **Filters stack.** Two filters on 10,000 places is $20 on Starter. Filtering in your spreadsheet afterwards is free. 4. **Reviews pull in place details.** The actor says the additional details charge applies to every place you scrape reviews for, on top of the per-review price. 5. **Re-runs charge again.** Each run charges for every place it returns. Re-running a city next month, or overlapping two polygons in separate runs, pays for the same business twice. Dedupe is up to you. 6. **Included usage expires.** If you scrape in bursts, a $199 month you don't use is $199 gone. 7. **Free-tier add-on prices.** On Free, business leads, verification and social profiles are $0.10 each, $100 per 1,000. Don't test those add-ons at volume on Free. 8. **Other actors price differently.** There are many third-party Google Maps actors in the Store, and some bill compute and proxy on top of events. Our numbers are for Apify's own Google Maps Scraper only. 9. **Your time.** Inputs, test runs, a usage limit and a merge step are part of the cost if you bill by the hour. A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. ## How do you estimate an Apify run before you pay?[#](#how-do-you-estimate-an-apify-run-before-you-pay) Run a small test, read the bill, then scale it. It takes about 15 minutes. 1. **Set a usage limit** in Billing, so a mistake can't run past it. 2. **Set `maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch`** to 100 and run one real search in one real city, with the add-ons you plan to use. 3. **Open the run's cost** and the dataset. Count places, places with a website, and emails found. 4. **Multiply.** Scale the counts to your full list and price each event at your plan's rate from the table above. 5. **Add verification** for every email you plan to send to. 6. **Pick the plan** with the decision rule above. Our [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) does the same arithmetic for several tools at once. ## Is there a cheaper way to get 10,000 local leads with emails?[#](#is-there-a-cheaper-way-to-get-10000-local-leads-with-emails) Yes, if what you need is a list of local businesses with checked emails. In Leadraft, 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails cost $49 a month on the Growth plan, against about $71 for setup C on Apify Starter, and every email is checked as part of the price. **Outscraper** charges $3 per 1,000 places after 500 free, $3 per 1,000 domains for website emails, and $3 per 1,000 for its verifier, with prepaid credits that never expire. For the setup C example it lands near Apify's total. The full side by side is in [Outscraper vs Apify](https://leadraft.co/blog/outscraper-vs-apify). **Leadraft** (our product) includes email finding and verification in the plan. For 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails, the Growth plan is $49 a month: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails, with a checked-email credit used only for Verified emails you take out. Accept-all and Invalid grades are free. You're charged once per business ever, businesses outside your area or trade are shown free, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. More detail in [Leadraft vs Apify](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify) and on [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). Leadraft is built for local business lists with checked emails. It doesn't pull reviews, images, named employees or a German Impressum parse, and it doesn't run scrapers for other websites; that's a different job. Other options are in [Apify Google Maps scraper alternatives](https://leadraft.co/blog/apify-google-maps-scraper-alternatives).

Add-ons are extra: company contacts from websites are $2 per 1,000 places on Starter, and each filter is $1 per 1,000 places. ### How much do 10,000 Google Maps leads cost on Apify?[#](#how-much-do-10000-google-maps-leads-cost-on-apify-1) On the Starter plan, 10,000 places cost $30. With website emails for the 8,000 that have a site, it's about $46. Verifying the company emails needs a separate verifier, around $15 for 5,000 checks at $3 per 1,000. For comparison, Leadraft's $49 Growth plan covers 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails, verification included. ### Is Apify free?[#](#is-apify-free) Apify has a free plan with $5 of usage a month and no card. On the Google Maps Scraper that's about 1,250 places, or about 830 with website contacts if every place has a site. When the $5 is spent, free accounts are blocked until the next monthly cycle. ### Do Apify credits roll over?[#](#do-apify-credits-roll-over) No. Apify's pricing page says unused usage credits expire at the end of the billing cycle. The only exception is on a downgrade, where unused platform usage moves to the new plan. ### Does Apify charge for compute units on the Google Maps Scraper?[#](#does-apify-charge-for-compute-units-on-the-google-maps-scraper) No. The Google Maps Scraper is pay per event, and its page says you are not charged for Apify platform usage, only the listed events. Pay-per-usage actors and some other pay-per-event actors do bill compute units and proxy separately, so check each actor's page. ## Sources[#](#sources) All pages checked as of November 2026. 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Apollo alternatives when your prospects are local businesses Apollo is built for companies with staff on LinkedIn. For plumbers, salons and dentists, here's how Leadraft and other tools compare, with Nov 2026 prices. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Comparison If your prospects are **local businesses** (HVAC companies, dental offices, salons, restaurants), the Apollo alternative we recommend is **Leadraft**. It **starts from Google Maps**, because that's where local businesses actually list themselves, then finds emails on each business's own website and checks every one against the mail server, from $19 a month (we make Leadraft, so weigh that). The table below lays out how Apollo and six other tools source businesses and emails, with their prices. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Prices and features come from vendor pages checked in November 2026, linked in the Sources. We haven't measured Apollo's coverage of any trade, so no coverage numbers are claimed._ ## Why doesn't Apollo work well for local businesses?[#](#why-doesnt-apollo-work-well-for-local-businesses) Apollo is a database of people and companies, and local businesses leave few of the traces those databases are built from. Apollo describes its data as "240M+ contacts and 30M+ accounts", combined with your CRM data and third-party signals. Records like these grow from professional profiles, company websites with team pages, press coverage and consistent corporate email addresses. Now picture a typical prospect: a family-run plumbing company with four trucks. The owner isn't on LinkedIn, the website has a phone number and a contact form, and the email the owner reads is a Gmail address printed on the Google Business Profile. A people database has almost nothing to attach to that business. When it does have a record, it may carry a guessed first.last@ address on a domain that doesn't use that pattern. Three other mismatches matter for local selling: - **Filters.** Apollo's filters are built around titles, headcount and industry. Local sales is filtered by trade and territory: "every roofer inside these ZIP codes". - **Categories.** Apollo's industries are broad. Google Maps categories are specific: "emergency veterinarian", "tile contractor", "nail salon". - **Freshness.** Small businesses open, close and change hands often. The Maps listing is what the owner updates first, because that's where their customers look. To be fair, Apollo has noticed. Its builders page says its agent "uses Google Maps to find local businesses and their decision makers" when the database lacks a match, with the example that "saving 20 local businesses from Google Maps costs 20 credits". Apollo's help center says importing local companies from Google Maps is on paid plans. If you already pay for Apollo, try that first on your own market. ## How do the Apollo alternatives compare for local prospects?[#](#how-do-the-apollo-alternatives-compare-for-local-prospects) Here's the comparison, as of November 2026. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Where the businesses come from | Emails | Verification | Area targeting | Entry price | Free tier | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Apollo** | Its people/company database; Google Maps import on paid plans | Yes, people-level | Built in | Location filters | Basic $49/mo; Professional $99/mo | Free plan | | Leadraft | Google Maps, inside the area you choose | Up to 5 per business, from its own website | Every email, catch-all graded | City, county, ZIP, polygon, radius, KML | Starter $19/mo for 25,000 businesses + 1,000 checked emails | 500 businesses + 50 checked emails/mo | | Outscraper | Google Maps | Emails & Contacts, $3 per 1,000 domains | Separate, $3 per 1,000 | Location list | $3 per 1,000 places after 500 free | 500 places, 500 domains, 25 checks per 30 days | | G Maps Extractor | Google Maps | Business emails; limited decision-maker emails on paid plans | Decision-maker emails described as verified | Not described | Lite $19/mo for 20,000 records | 1,000 records/mo | | Salesgenie (Data Axle) | Compiled business database | Use credits | Not described | City, county, state, ZIP | Basic from $99/mo, 12-month subscription | Free trial | | D7 Lead Finder | Business search by category and location | Yes | Not described | Location, any country | Plans not shown on the home page | 5 searches a day, not exportable | | Lusha | People/company database | 1 credit per email | Emails described as verified | Location filters | Starter $49.90/mo for 400 credits | 40 credits/mo | The useful split is the second column. Apollo and Lusha start from people. Every other row except Salesgenie starts from the business listing, which is what local prospecting needs. ## The alternatives, one by one[#](#the-alternatives-one-by-one) ### 1\. Leadraft: Google Maps plus checked emails[#](#1-leadraft-google-maps-plus-checked-emails) Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside a place you choose, including past the roughly 120 results one Maps search shows, by splitting the area into tiles. It fences results to your area and trade: anything outside is shown free and never charged. It then reads each business's website for up to 5 emails, with role and source, and checks each against the mail server. You can push the result to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. Plans run from Free to Scale at $149 for 600,000 businesses and 30,000 checked emails a month. You pay once per business, ever, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. It's built for trades and territories. What it doesn't do: named decision-makers, employee counts or revenue. Leadraft has none of those. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) ### 2\. Outscraper: per-record pricing, many data sources[#](#2-outscraper-per-record-pricing-many-data-sources) Outscraper's Google Maps scraper is $3 per 1,000 places after the first 500, falling to $1 after 100,000. Emails & Contacts and the Email Address Verifier are separate, on the same tiers. It also scrapes reviews and other sites, under one account and API. Each step is a separate product, billed separately. ### 3\. G Maps Extractor: record plans plus an extension[#](#3-g-maps-extractor-record-plans-plus-an-extension) G Maps Extractor's online plans run from Free (1,000 records a month) to Professional at $149 for 500,000 records. Paid plans include a small monthly allowance of decision-maker emails (10 on Lite up to 100 on Professional), which it says are verified before you see them. There's also a Chrome extension with its own plans. Verify the business emails yourself. ### 4\. Salesgenie: a compiled small-business database[#](#4-salesgenie-a-compiled-small-business-database) Salesgenie is Data Axle's lead tool for small businesses. Basic starts at $99 a month, Pro is $149 and Team is $299 with 5 users. Exports and email addresses use credits, which you add separately. The subscription runs 12 months, then renews monthly. It sells targeting by employee size, revenue and SIC/NAICS code, which Google Maps data doesn't include. More in [Leadraft vs Data Axle](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle). ### 5\. D7 Lead Finder: quick category searches[#](#5-d7-lead-finder-quick-category-searches) D7 Lead Finder says it returns up to 1,200 business leads per search, with name, website, email, address and social links, in any category and country. Five free searches a day show results without export. Its plan prices weren't visible on the pages we checked. ### 6\. Lusha: a people database[#](#6-lusha-a-people-database) Lusha, like Apollo, is a people-and-company database. Starter is $49.90 a month ($37.45 billed yearly) for 400 credits; a verified email costs 1 credit and a phone number 5. Unused monthly credits roll over up to twice the plan's limit. It has the same structural gap as Apollo for owner-operated businesses. ## What does Leadraft do for each kind of prospect?[#](#what-does-leadraft-do-for-each-kind-of-prospect) Start from who you sell to, not from features. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Your typical prospect | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | 1 to 10 staff, sells to the public, found on Google Maps | Finds every one in your area, with up to 5 checked emails each | | Multi-location groups and franchises | Finds each location's own Google Maps listing inside your area | | Local business, targeted by employee count or industry code | Not what Leadraft does: it searches by trade and Google Maps category, not headcount | | 50+ staff, buyers with job titles | Not what Leadraft does: it returns business emails, not named employees | | You need the owner's name | Not what Leadraft does. State business records are the place to start: see [how to find the owner of a business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-the-owner-of-a-business) | ## How do you test Apollo against a Maps tool?[#](#how-do-you-test-apollo-against-a-maps-tool) Compare them on one trade in one city you know well. An hour is enough. 1. **Pick a narrow market**, for example "pest control in Tampa, FL". 2. **Search Apollo** with its industry and location filters, and note the companies with at least one email. 3. **Run the same trade and place** in a Maps-first tool on its free tier. Count unique businesses inside the area. 4. **Check the overlap.** Which businesses does each have that the other doesn't? Spot-check ten on Google Maps. 5. **Verify every email with the same verifier.** Grade catch-all as a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). Our [verifier comparison](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-email-verifiers) lists options. 6. **Price the finished list**, not the plan. ## What should you use for local business leads?[#](#what-should-you-use-for-local-business-leads) Leadraft. Local businesses list themselves on Google Maps, not in people databases, so a list that starts there is the one that has them. Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside the area you draw, fences out anything outside it for free, reads each website for up to 5 emails and checks every one. Starter is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Apollo's Basic is $49 a month and its credits don't roll over. Leadraft's unused credits roll over while your plan is active, and you pay once per business, ever. Then push the list to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. If you're coming from Hunter rather than Apollo, see [Hunter.io alternatives](https://leadraft.co/blog/hunter-io-alternatives). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Is Apollo good for finding local businesses?[#](#is-apollo-good-for-finding-local-businesses) It depends on the business. Apollo is strongest where companies and their staff have a professional web footprint. Many owner-operated local businesses don't, so they appear thinly or not at all. Apollo has added a way to import local companies from Google Maps on paid plans, so test your own trade and city before deciding. ### What is the best Apollo alternative for local businesses?[#](#what-is-the-best-apollo-alternative-for-local-businesses) Leadraft (we make it). It starts from Google Maps, because that's where local businesses list themselves, finds up to 5 emails on each business's own website and checks every one against the mail server. Starter is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails, and you pay once per business, ever. ### How much does Apollo cost?[#](#how-much-does-apollo-cost) As of November 2026, Apollo has a free plan, Basic at $49 a month and Professional at $99 a month, plus custom plans. All seats on an account are on the same plan. Credits are pooled across the team and don't roll over, including purchased add-on credits. ### Why doesn't Apollo have emails for small businesses?[#](#why-doesnt-apollo-have-emails-for-small-businesses) People databases grow from professional profiles, company websites with staff pages and corporate email patterns. A two-person landscaping company often has none of these: no team page, no LinkedIn presence, and an owner who uses a Gmail address. There's little for the database to match. See [how to find emails of local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses). ### Can I use Apollo and a Google Maps tool together?[#](#can-i-use-apollo-and-a-google-maps-tool-together) Yes. Build the list of local businesses in Leadraft, export it as a CSV, and import the businesses into Apollo as companies; Apollo matches what it can. Leadraft gives you the businesses and their checked emails; it doesn't look up named employees. ## Sources[#](#sources) All pages checked as of November 2026. 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # B2B mailing lists: build or buy, for direct mail and email B2B mailing lists for postal and email: what lists cost per thousand, USPS NCOA, CASS and Marketing Mail basics, compliance, and building one from Google Maps. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Guide A B2B mailing list is a list of businesses with a postal address, an email address, or both, used for direct mail or email campaigns. You can **buy** one from a list compiler or broker, usually priced per thousand names (Data Axle's business data card listed $100 per thousand in 2026, with a $750 minimum), or **build** one yourself from public sources such as Google Maps and each business's website. For postal mail, run the list through address standardization (CASS) and a move update such as NCOA before you mail, or you won't qualify for USPS commercial prices. For email, verify every address and follow CAN-SPAM. This guide covers both channels: what lists cost, the USPS basics, compliance, and how to build a mailing list from Google Maps addresses. ## What is a B2B mailing list?[#](#what-is-a-b2b-mailing-list) It's a list of businesses, not consumers, with the fields you need to reach them. A good one has: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Field | Postal | Email | | --- | --- | --- | | Business name | Required | Required | | Contact name or title | Helps ("Attn: Owner") | Helps personalize | | Street address, city, state, ZIP+4 | Required, standardized | Useful for segmenting | | Email address | No | Required, verified | | Category or SIC/NAICS code | For targeting | For targeting | | Employee count, revenue | Vendor lists only | Vendor lists only | "Mailing list" can mean either channel. List brokers mostly mean postal; cold-email operators mean email. The building blocks differ, so plan for the one you're actually sending. ## How much does a B2B mailing list cost to buy?[#](#how-much-does-a-b2b-mailing-list-cost-to-buy) Compiled lists are priced per thousand names, with minimum orders and extra fees for each added field. On the vendor data cards we checked, base prices were around $100 per thousand. As of November 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | List | Base price | Minimum | Add-ons | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Data Axle Business Data \[1\] | $100 per thousand | 7,500 names or $750 | Email $225/M, contact name $25/M, phone $30/M | | New Business Filings, on NextMark \[2\] | $90 per thousand | 5,000 names | Varies | "Per thousand" is written $/M in the list business. Many lists are rented for a set number of uses rather than bought outright, so read the data card's usage terms before you mail twice. **A worked example.** You want 2,000 HVAC contractors in Texas with emails. From the Data Axle card: 2,000 names at $100/M is $200, below the $750 minimum, so you pay $750. Adding the email segment at $225/M for those 2,000 is $450 more. That's about $1,200 for a one-time list, before postage or verification, and only as fresh as the data's last compile \[1\]. Our article on [whether you should buy a business email list](https://leadraft.co/blog/buy-business-email-list) covers the risks on the email side in more detail. ## Should I build or buy?[#](#should-i-build-or-buy) Build it if you're targeting specific trades in specific areas. Here's what Leadraft does in each situation, and what it doesn't: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Situation | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | You're targeting specific trades in specific areas | Builds the list for the city, county, ZIP code, radius or drawn area you choose | | Freshness matters | Pulls current Google Maps listings each time you run it | | Published business emails (`info@`, `office@`) are fine | Finds them on each business's own site and checks every one against the live mail server | | You need postal fields | Exports address, city, state and postal code already split | | You'll reuse and refresh the list monthly | Monitors re-run the search and bring in only new businesses | | You need contact names and titles | Not what Leadraft does | | You need employee counts, revenue or SIC/NAICS selects | Not what Leadraft does | | You need CASS or NCOA processing | Not what Leadraft does; that's your mailing house's job | ## What do I need to know about USPS for B2B direct mail?[#](#what-do-i-need-to-know-about-usps-for-b2b-direct-mail) Three things: standardize addresses, update them for moves, and pick the right mail class. The USPS rules apply the same to business and consumer addresses. ### Address standardization (CASS)[#](#address-standardization-cass) CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) is the USPS certification for address-matching software. It's "a common measure by which to test the quality of address-matching software", and certified software corrects and codes ZIP+4, delivery point and carrier route \[3\]. Running your list through CASS-certified software fixes formatting, adds ZIP+4 and flags addresses that don't exist. Most mailing services and list vendors do this for you. ### Move updates (NCOA)[#](#move-updates-ncoa) NCOALink is a dataset of about 160 million permanent change-of-address records "filed by individuals, families, and businesses" \[4\]. To claim presorted or automation prices for First-Class Mail or USPS Marketing Mail, you "must demonstrate that they have updated their mailing list within 95 days before the mailing date" \[5\]. NCOA processing through a licensed provider is the usual way. ### Mail class and postage[#](#mail-class-and-postage) Prices effective October 4, 2026, per piece \[6\]: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Mail | Price per letter | | --- | --- | | First-Class Mail, stamped, 1 oz | $0.82 | | First-Class Mail, commercial automation, 5-digit | $0.621 | | USPS Marketing Mail, automation, 5-digit | $0.395 | | USPS Marketing Mail, automation, mixed | $0.467 | | EDDM Retail (flats, no addresses) | $0.26 \[7\] | - **USPS Marketing Mail** needs at least 200 addressed pieces or 50 pounds per mailing \[8\]. - **Automation prices** require an Intelligent Mail barcode on the piece \[9\]. - **Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)** doesn't use a list at all. Pieces are addressed to "Postal Customer" and go to every address on the carrier routes you pick, with at least 200 and up to 5,000 pieces per day per ZIP Code \[7\]. It's for saturation, not targeting specific businesses. **A worked example.** Mailing 2,000 letters at Marketing Mail 5-digit automation prices costs 2,000 × $0.395 = $790 in postage, if all of them qualify for 5-digit presort. The same 2,000 with First-Class stamps would cost 2,000 × $0.82 = $1,640. Printing and list costs are extra. ## What compliance rules apply?[#](#what-compliance-rules-apply) Different ones for each channel. **Postal mail.** CAN-SPAM covers commercial email, not postal mail \[10\]. B2B direct mail in the US is widely sent without prior consent. Follow USPS content and preparation rules, and honor any request to stop. DMAchoice, the ANA's mail preference service, is described as helping "consumers express their marketing preferences" \[11\]; if you also mail consumers, check it. **Email.** CAN-SPAM applies to business email: "The law makes no exception for business-to-business email" \[10\]. Every commercial email needs honest headers and subject lines, your valid postal address, a clear way to opt out, and opt-outs honored within 10 business days. Outside the US, rules are stricter for named people. See our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws). This isn't legal advice. **Either channel.** Keep a suppression list of everyone who asked to stop, and check it before every campaign. Our glossary entry on the [suppression list](https://leadraft.co/glossary/suppression-list) explains how it works. ## How do I build a B2B mailing list from Google Maps addresses?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-b2b-mailing-list-from-google-maps-addresses) Google Maps listings carry a business name, category, street address and phone for most businesses that serve customers in person, which is most of what a postal list needs. Many also link a website, which is where you'll find the email. 1. **Pick the trades and the area.** Be specific: "dentists in Maricopa County" or "auto repair shops in ZIP codes 78701 to 78759". 2. **Collect every business** in the area. One Maps search shows only about 120 results, so search in smaller pieces (see [why Maps stops at about 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). 3. **Split the address** into street, city, state and ZIP columns. 4. **Remove service-area businesses** that don't show a street address. Many plumbers and cleaners hide theirs; you can't mail them at the shop. 5. **Dedupe** on the Google place ID or the normalized address. 6. **Run CASS and NCOA** through your mailing house or a list-hygiene service. Expect some addresses to need suite numbers. 7. **For email, use the website.** Find the published address on each business's own site and verify it before sending. Two cautions specific to Maps addresses: a business's listed address is where it serves customers, which isn't always where it receives mail; and franchise locations may route mail to a head office. Mailing "Attn: Owner" or "Attn: Office Manager" helps the piece reach a decision-maker. ## Which should I send, postal or email?[#](#which-should-i-send-postal-or-email) Both work, and they work well together. Postal costs more per piece (about $0.40 to $0.82 in postage alone, versus close to nothing per email) but lands with no deliverability risk and stays on the desk. Email is cheap and fast but needs verified addresses and a warmed-up sending setup. A common pattern is a postcard first, then an email a week later that references it. Use the [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) to work out how many businesses you need for the number of replies you're after. ## What's the best way to get a B2B mailing list of local businesses?[#](#whats-the-best-way-to-get-a-b2b-mailing-list-of-local-businesses) Build it in Leadraft. Take the worked example above: 2,000 HVAC contractors in Texas with emails came to about $1,200 as a one-time compiled list. In Leadraft the same 2,000 businesses fit inside the Starter plan at $19 a month (25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails), with the postal fields split and every email checked against the live mail server. If more than 1,000 of them come back with an email, Growth at $49 a month covers up to 5,000 checked emails. You pay once per business, ever, and businesses outside your area or trade are shown free. For 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails, Growth is $49 a month. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How much does a B2B mailing list cost?[#](#how-much-does-a-b2b-mailing-list-cost) Compiled business lists are usually priced per thousand names. As of 2026, Data Axle's business data card listed $100 per thousand with a minimum order of 7,500 names or $750, plus $225 per thousand for the email segment, and a New Business Filings list on NextMark listed $90 per thousand with a 5,000-name minimum. Building your own costs your time or a tool subscription. ### What is NCOA and do I need it for business mail?[#](#what-is-ncoa-and-do-i-need-it-for-business-mail) NCOALink is the USPS change-of-address dataset, about 160 million permanent change-of-address records, including business moves. To get presorted or automation prices for First-Class Mail or USPS Marketing Mail, you must show your list was updated for moves within 95 days before mailing. NCOA processing is one way to do that. ### How much does it cost to send B2B direct mail?[#](#how-much-does-it-cost-to-send-b2b-direct-mail) Postage depends on class and preparation. With USPS prices effective October 4, 2026, a 1-ounce stamped First-Class letter is $0.82, a First-Class automation letter at 5-digit presort is $0.621, and a USPS Marketing Mail automation letter at 5-digit presort is $0.395. Marketing Mail requires at least 200 pieces or 50 pounds per mailing. ### Is it legal to send unsolicited B2B direct mail?[#](#is-it-legal-to-send-unsolicited-b2b-direct-mail) In the US, CAN-SPAM covers email, not postal mail, and B2B direct mail is widely used without prior consent. Your mail must follow USPS rules, and you should honor any request to stop. B2B email is covered by CAN-SPAM, which requires a postal address, an opt-out and honest headers and subject lines. ### Should I buy a B2B mailing list or build one?[#](#should-i-buy-a-b2b-mailing-list-or-build-one) Build when you're targeting specific trades in specific areas: a fresh list from Google Maps and each business's website is more current than a compile, and every email can be checked before you send. That is the list Leadraft builds. Compiled lists sell contact names, employee counts and SIC/NAICS selects, which Leadraft doesn't provide, and they are only as fresh as their last compile. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # The best data sources for local business leads, compared Google Maps, Yelp, Yellow Pages, BBB, state filings, city licenses, data vendors, Apple Maps and Bing compared on coverage, freshness, contacts, cost and terms. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Comparison For most local lead lists, the best data source is Google Maps combined with each business's own website. Maps has the widest coverage of businesses that serve customers, nearly always with a phone and category and often a website, and the website is where you find a published email. Add state filings or city license data when you want brand-new businesses. Paid vendors sell employee counts and compiled postal files, a different product from a fresh local list. Yelp, Yellow Pages and BBB are good for checking a business, not for building the list, and their terms say so. Here's how the nine main sources compare, with what each one's terms allow. ## How do the main sources compare?[#](#how-do-the-main-sources-compare) Facts and prices are as of November 2026, from each source's own pages. "Terms" summarizes what each one says about automated collection or commercial use; see the sections below for the exact wording. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Source | Coverage | Freshness | Contact fields | Email | Cost | Terms on list-building | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Google Maps | Widest for businesses serving customers | Owners and Google update continuously | Name, category, address, phone, website, hours, rating | No | Free to browse; Places API per request | Restricts scraping Maps content \[1\] | | Yelp | Strong in restaurants, nightlife, consumer services | Active where reviews are active | Name, categories, address, phone, website link, hours | No | Free to browse; API $229 to $643 a month \[2\] | Prohibits scraping; API bars direct marketing \[3\]\[4\] | | Yellow Pages | Broad, older directory | Varies | Name, address, phone, category, website | Not usually | Free to browse | Prohibits bots and scrapers \[5\] | | BBB | Businesses with BBB profiles | Varies | Name, address, phone, sometimes management names | Not usually | Free to browse | Prohibits sales and marketing use \[6\] | | State business filings | Every registered LLC and corporation | Daily in some states | Legal name, agent, addresses, sometimes managers | Rarely | Free or a few dollars | Public records | | City license data | Licensed businesses in that city | Daily to monthly | Name, address, license type, start date | Rarely | Free | Public records, open data | | Data vendors | National compiled databases | Periodic compiles | Contact name, phone, employees, SIC/NAICS | Some, at extra cost | e.g. $100 per thousand names \[7\] | Licensed use per contract | | Apple Maps | Businesses with Apple place cards | Owners update via Apple Business | Name, category, address, phone, website, hours | No | Free to browse | Developer terms bar extraction \[8\] | | Bing Maps | Bing Places listings | Owners update via Bing Places | Name, address, phone, website, hours | No | Free to browse | Bing Maps APIs moving to Azure Maps \[9\] | Three things to take from the table: 1. **Nobody hands you the email.** The public maps and directories show a phone and a website, not an address. The website is where you find `info@` or a named address, and then you verify it. 2. **Public records are the only sources with no contract terms.** State filings and city licenses are published so people can use them, but they're thin on contact data. 3. **The big platforms all restrict list-building in their terms.** That's a contract matter, separate from privacy law; more below. ## Why is Google Maps usually the best starting point?[#](#why-is-google-maps-usually-the-best-starting-point) Because it has the widest, freshest coverage of businesses that actually serve customers. Businesses keep their Google Business Profile current because that's how customers find them in Google search, so phone numbers, hours and websites tend to be maintained. Listings also carry a category, which is what you filter on. Its limits: - **No email.** See [does Google Maps show emails?](https://leadraft.co/blog/does-google-maps-show-emails) - **A search shows only so many results**, roughly 120, so a city needs many smaller searches. See [the 120-results limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). - **Terms.** The Google Maps Platform Terms say customers will not "export, extract, or otherwise scrape Google Maps Content for use outside the Services", with examples including copying and saving business names and addresses \[1\]. Our article on [whether scraping Google Maps is legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) covers what that means. ## When are Yelp, Yellow Pages and BBB useful?[#](#when-are-yelp-yellow-pages-and-bbb-useful) As research tools for businesses you've already found, read by hand. **Yelp.** Deepest for restaurants, bars and consumer services, and its review text is useful for personalizing outreach. Its Terms of Service prohibit using "any robot, spider... or other automated device, process or means to access, retrieve, copy, scrape, or index any portion of the Service" \[3\], and its paid API terms bar using the data for "direct marketing and/or telemarketing activities" \[4\]. More in [Yelp vs Google Maps for leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/yelp-vs-google-maps-for-leads). **Yellow Pages.** Still broad, and handy for checking an old phone number or address. Its terms of use limit the site to "individual, non-commercial, informational purposes" and say "You may not use bots, scrapers, crawlers, spiders, or any similar methods, processes, or tools to 'data mine' or otherwise gather or extract data" \[5\]. **BBB.** Profiles sometimes name the people who run a business ("Business Management"), which helps when you're [finding the owner](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-the-owner-of-a-business). BBB's terms prohibit using its sites "for sales and marketing purposes" and using them "to create, supplement, or compile data for any service, website, application" \[6\]. ## When should I use state filings and city license data?[#](#when-should-i-use-state-filings-and-city-license-data) When you want businesses at the very start. A new LLC filing or business license shows up weeks or months before a business has reviews or a polished website. These are public records, published for free, often as downloadable data. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Use case | Best public source | | --- | --- | | Brand-new companies, pre-opening | State filings (New York, Colorado, Oregon, Connecticut and Florida publish them as data) | | Newly licensed local businesses | City or county license data (Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Philadelphia...) | | Who owns a company | State filing, DBA records, license lookups | The trade-off is contact data: most records have a name and an address, and little else. You match each one to a website or Maps listing before you can reach it. [New business license lists](https://leadraft.co/blog/new-business-license-lists) lists the sources city by city, and [how to find who owns an LLC](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-llc-owner-by-state) covers what each state's filings show. ## What do paid data vendors add?[#](#what-do-paid-data-vendors-add) Fields the public sources don't have, compiled nationally. Compiled databases from vendors such as Data Axle add employee counts, sales estimates, SIC or NAICS codes, contact names and postal-ready addresses. What they cost, where it's published: Data Axle's business data card lists **$100 per thousand names**, with a minimum of 7,500 names or $750, plus $25 per thousand for contact names, $30 for phone numbers and **$225 per thousand for the email segment** \[7\]. Others don't publish prices and quote on request. Before you buy, test a sample: pick 20 records in an area you know and check how many are still open, at that address, with that phone. Our comparison of [local business databases](https://leadraft.co/blog/local-business-database) has a full test method and more vendors, and [should you buy a business email list?](https://leadraft.co/blog/buy-business-email-list) covers the email side. ## What about Apple Maps and Bing Maps?[#](#what-about-apple-maps-and-bing-maps) They're consumer maps with their own business listings, and neither is a practical lead source. - **Apple Maps.** Businesses manage their place cards through Apple Business, which replaced Apple Business Connect in April 2026 \[10\]. Place cards show a phone, website, address and hours, but no email field \[11\]. Apple's developer terms say you may not use the Apple Maps service in a way that "attempts to extract, scrape or reutilize any portions of the Map Data", or as part of "any secondary or derived database" \[8\]. - **Bing Maps.** Microsoft has deprecated Bing Maps for Enterprise in favor of Azure Maps. Free (Basic) accounts are already retired, and enterprise customers have until June 30, 2028 to move \[9\]. Businesses manage listings through Bing Places for Business. Both are worth a glance when a business is missing from Google Maps, and both are useful as a cross-check that a listing is current. ## So which combination should I use?[#](#so-which-combination-should-i-use) Start from Google Maps and each business's own website, then add public records where you need them. Here's the source for each goal and what Leadraft does for it: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Goal | Primary source | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | --- | | Cold email to local businesses | Google Maps + each business's website | Finds the businesses in your area, finds emails on their sites and checks every one | | Cold calling | Google Maps (phones) | Exports the listing phone for every business; do-not-call checks are yours to run | | Direct mail | Google Maps addresses | Exports the listing address; address standardization is a separate step | | Brand-new businesses | City license data, state filings | Monitors re-run your search and bring in businesses new to Google Maps | | Owner names | State filings, DBA records, website | Not what Leadraft does | | Firmographics (employees, revenue) | Compiled databases | Not what Leadraft does | For the full process from search to sending, see the [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation). ## Which tool should I use to build a local lead list?[#](#which-tool-should-i-use-to-build-a-local-lead-list) Leadraft. It works from the source this page recommends for most local lists, Google Maps plus each business's own website, keeps only the businesses inside the area you choose, and checks every email against the live mail server before you pay for it. You pay once per business, ever. For 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails, the Growth plan is $49 a month (100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails); Starter is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best source of local business leads?[#](#what-is-the-best-source-of-local-business-leads) For most local lists, Google Maps plus each business's own website: Maps has the widest coverage of businesses that serve customers, with phone, category and website, and the website is where the email comes from. Leadraft builds exactly that list, with every email checked. Add state filings or city license data for brand-new businesses. Employee counts and compiled postal lists come from data vendors, which is not what Leadraft does. ### Which business directories include email addresses?[#](#which-business-directories-include-email-addresses) Almost none of the public ones. Google Maps, Yelp, Apple Maps and Bing don't show email addresses. Some Facebook Pages and some state registries (Connecticut's, for example) include one. Paid vendors sell emails for some records. The most reliable source is the business's own website. ### Is Yellow Pages still a good source for leads?[#](#is-yellow-pages-still-a-good-source-for-leads) It's a usable cross-check, but rarely the best primary source. Its terms prohibit bots and scrapers and limit use to individual, non-commercial purposes. For coverage and freshness, most people get more from Google Maps. ### How much does a business lead list cost?[#](#how-much-does-a-business-lead-list-cost) Free if you build it yourself from public sources. Compiled lists cost more: Data Axle's business data card listed $100 per thousand names in 2026, plus $225 per thousand for the email segment, with a minimum order of 7,500 names or $750. Self-serve tools range from free plans to tens or hundreds of dollars a month. ### Can I use BBB data for sales leads?[#](#can-i-use-bbb-data-for-sales-leads) Not in bulk. BBB's terms of use prohibit using its sites for sales and marketing purposes and using them to compile data for another service. Looking up a business's BBB profile by hand to research it is a different thing from extracting the directory. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # The best email verifiers in 2026, compared on price per 1,000 and catch-all handling Email verifiers compared on price per 1,000, free credits, expiry and catch-all handling, and why a local business list built in Leadraft doesn't need one. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Comparison If you're building a local business list, you don't need a separate verifier: **[Leadraft](https://leadraft.co/product/emails)** checks every email against the live mail server as it finds it, keeps catch-alls apart as Accept-all, and never exports Invalid. If you're cleaning a list you already have, standalone verifiers cost about $1.20 to $13 per 1,000 at 10,000 emails as of November 2026. **Reoon** ($1.19 per 1,000 at 10,000) and **MillionVerifier** ($1.49 per 1,000 at 100,000) list the lowest prices we found, **ZeroBounce** the highest, with the most described catch-all handling, and **NeverBounce**, **Bouncer**, **Emailable** and **Kickbox** sit at $4 to $7 per 1,000. **Hunter** is a finder first, with verification inside its plans. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Leadraft isn't a standalone verifier: it checks the emails it finds on business websites, so it isn't in the price tables. We didn't run our own accuracy test. Prices and features come from each vendor's own pages, checked in November 2026 and linked in the Sources. Accuracy figures are the vendors' own claims._ ## How much do email verifiers cost per 1,000?[#](#how-much-do-email-verifiers-cost-per-1000) Between about $1.20 and $13 per 1,000 at 10,000 emails, and between about $1.20 and $6.50 at 100,000, as of November 2026. The table uses each vendor's one-time (pay-as-you-go) price unless noted. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Verifier | 10,000 emails | Per 1,000 | 100,000 emails | Per 1,000 | Free credits | Do credits expire? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Reoon** | $11.90 | $1.19 | $116.40 | $1.16 | 20 a day (up to 600/mo) + 100 at sign-up | Instant credits never expire | | **MillionVerifier** | $39 | $3.90 | $149 | $1.49 | 100 | Never | | **NeverBounce** (pay as you go) | $50 | $5.00 | $400 | $4.00 | Free test credits (number not stated) | 12 months after purchase | | **NeverBounce Growth** (monthly) | $49/mo | $4.90 | $159/mo | $1.59 | Same | Subscription | | **Bouncer** | $60 | $6.00 | $400 | $4.00 | 100 | Never | | **Emailable** | $60 | $6.00 | $420 | $4.20 | 250 | Never | | **Kickbox** | $70 | $7.00 | $500 | $5.00 | 100 | Not stated on the pricing page | | **ZeroBounce** | $129 | $12.90 | $649 | $6.49 | 100 a month (business domain) | Never, while on a ZeroBounce ONE plan | | **Hunter** (Growth plan) | $149/mo for 20,000 checks | $7.45 | Not on a monthly plan | — | 50 credits/mo (100 checks) | Reset monthly, no rollover | How to read it: - **Hunter** is priced in plan credits. A verification costs half a credit, so Growth's 10,000 credits a month cover 20,000 checks. Starter ($49 a month) covers 4,000, which is $12.25 per 1,000. - **ZeroBounce ONE** is a $99 monthly subscription that includes 10,000 validations and 10,000 email finder credits, $9.90 per 1,000 if you only verify. - **NeverBounce's** pay-as-you-go rate is $8 per 1,000 below 10,000 emails. The Growth subscription is priced by monthly volume. - At 1,000,000 emails, MillionVerifier lists $449 and Reoon $972. The per-1,000 price is not the whole cost. The next two questions, what you are charged for and what happens to catch-all addresses, matter more for most B2B lists. ## Which results are you charged for?[#](#which-results-are-you-charged-for) Almost every verifier refunds **unknown** results. The difference is in **catch-all** results, the ones that can't be confirmed either way. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Verifier | Unknown results | Catch-all results | Duplicates | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reoon | Never charged | Charged (counts as a definitive result) | Not stated | | MillionVerifier | Not charged | Not charged if unresolved ("Risky") | Not stated | | NeverBounce | Not stated on the pricing page | Not stated | Free on Growth | | Bouncer | Not charged | Not stated | Not charged | | Emailable | Refunded | Not stated | Refunded | | Kickbox | Refunded | Not stated | Not stated | | ZeroBounce | Not charged | Not exempted on the pricing page | Not stated | | Hunter | Not stated | Not stated | Repeats counted once per calendar month | "Not stated" means we couldn't find it on the vendor's public pricing or docs pages. Ask before you buy if your list is mostly catch-all. ## How does each verifier handle catch-all emails?[#](#how-does-each-verifier-handle-catch-all-emails) A **catch-all** (or accept-all) server says yes to every address at its domain, so the normal mailbox check can't tell a real inbox from a typo. Verifiers differ in what they do next: label it and stop, add a score, or try other methods to resolve it. On a normal server, real and made-up addresses get different answers. A catch-all server says 250 OK to both, which is why those addresses get an Accept-all grade instead of Verified. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Verifier | What you see | Extra catch-all work (vendor's description) | | --- | --- | --- | | ZeroBounce | `catch-all` status; some vetted domains returned as `valid` with an `accept_all` sub-status | Standard validation tries to resolve catch-alls on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and major secure email gateways. Verify+ adds more checks. Email Scoring gives catch-alls a 0 to 10 activity score | | MillionVerifier | `catch_all` count; unresolved ones labeled Risky | Says its engine resolves 30% to 40% of catch-alls into Valid or Invalid at no extra cost | | NeverBounce | `catchall` result, "also known as Accept-all (Unverifiable)" | None described publicly | | Bouncer | `risky` status with an `acceptAll` domain flag | None described in the API docs | | Kickbox | Accept All addresses are classed as Risky | None described; its docs advise caution | | Emailable | `accept_all` flag (an optional check in the API) | None described | | Reoon | Catch-All status, plus a 0 to 100 score | Tests the domain for catch-all behavior; advises sending "as a separate segment" | | Hunter | `accept_all` status | Warns of possible false positives on SMTP checks | Two other verifiers sell catch-all resolution as its own feature. DeBounce charges 10 credits per catch-all validation. Clearout calls its version Deep Verify. We left both out of the price table because their per-1,000 prices load only inside their calculators. No method turns every catch-all into a certain yes. ZeroBounce's own page says some catch-all addresses "may still remain unresolved, so no validation method should be treated as a guarantee." For the background, see [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) and [how to check if an email is catch-all](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-check-if-email-is-catch-all). ## Why do catch-all addresses matter more for local-business lists?[#](#why-do-catch-all-addresses-matter-more-for-local-business-lists) Because they can be a large share of the list, and they're the part a verifier can't settle. Published figures vary: Hunter found 38% of email domains in a sample of 2,572 addresses were accept-all, and MailerCheck reports a median catch-all share of 15.25% per list across its customers' lists. Those measure different things, but both say the share is high enough to change your send volume. Local businesses add their own quirks: - **Small domains, set up once.** A plumber's domain is often set up by a web designer years ago, sometimes with a catch-all so no customer email gets lost. - **Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.** Many small businesses host mail on one of the two. ZeroBounce describes specific handling for both. - **Free webmail.** Many owners publish a Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook address. Reoon notes that many verifiers struggle with Yahoo, AOL and Microsoft consumer mail. - **Role addresses.** `info@` and `office@` are often the only published address. They verify like any other address, but they may go to a shared inbox. The practical effect: two verifiers can return very different Valid counts on the same local list, mostly because of how they treat catch-alls. That's why the test below matters more than the table above. ## How do you test a verifier on your own list?[#](#how-do-you-test-a-verifier-on-your-own-list) Test on your own data. Every verifier here has free credits, which is enough for a fair side-by-side. 1. **Take 300 to 500 real addresses** from the list you plan to send to. Don't use a clean sample: keep the catch-alls and webmail in. 2. **Run the same file through two or three verifiers** using their free credits. 3. **Compare four counts:** Valid, Invalid, Catch-all or Risky, Unknown. A verifier with more Valid results isn't better unless those addresses really deliver. 4. **Send a small test batch** of 50 to 100 from the Valid group of each, from a warmed-up domain. Watch bounces for 48 hours. 5. **Price each one at your real monthly volume**, including what it charges for catch-all results and whether credits expire. ## What is each verifier built around?[#](#what-is-each-verifier-built-around) These are facts from each vendor's own pages, not a ranking. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Verifier | What it's built around | | --- | --- | | **Reoon** | Lowest list price per 1,000 here ($1.19 at 10,000) and a daily free allowance; charges for catch-all results | | **MillionVerifier** | One-time credits that never expire; says it resolves 30% to 40% of catch-alls and doesn't charge for the rest | | **ZeroBounce** | Catch-all handling for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and gateways, activity scoring, and a subscription with other tools | | **NeverBounce** | 80+ integrations, including Zapier and n8n; the Growth plan syncs with your CRM | | **Bouncer** | No charge for unknowns or duplicates; lists an MCP server for AI assistants | | **Emailable** | 250 free credits once; credits roll over on subscriptions | | **Kickbox** | Documented developer API with clear result categories; unknowns refunded | | **Hunter** | An email finder, with verification at half a credit inside its plans | For a closer look at the three most compared tools, see [ZeroBounce vs NeverBounce vs MillionVerifier](https://leadraft.co/blog/zerobounce-vs-neverbounce-vs-millionverifier). ## What about accuracy claims?[#](#what-about-accuracy-claims) Treat them as marketing until you test. MillionVerifier says "99%+ accuracy" and Reoon "99% accuracy". Clearout says 99.73%. None of these is an independent test, and we didn't find a public, same-list comparison of all eight. Accuracy also depends on the list: a verifier can look excellent on consumer Gmail addresses and much weaker on small business domains. The side-by-side test above is the only accuracy number that applies to your list. For what the checks actually do, see [how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works). ## Do you need a separate verifier if you build the list in Leadraft?[#](#do-you-need-a-separate-verifier-if-you-build-the-list-in-leadraft) No. A standalone verifier cleans a list after someone else built it. If the tool that builds the list already checks each address against the mail server and labels catch-alls separately, a second pass mostly re-confirms the same answers, and you pay twice. Leadraft checks as it finds. It finds businesses on Google Maps, reads emails from each business's own website, and checks every address against the live mail server before it counts. Results come back as **Verified**, **Accept-all** ("a maybe, never a yes") or **Invalid**, which is never exported. Details are in [our verification method](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) and on the [emails page](https://leadraft.co/product/emails). Scroll horizontally if needed → | Situation | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | Building a new list of local businesses | Finds the businesses, finds their emails and checks every mailbox in one step | | Lots of small-business domains that accept everything | Grades them Accept-all and keeps them apart; they never use a credit | | Addresses that bounce | Graded Invalid and never exported | | Cleaning a list you bought or exported from another tool | Not what Leadraft does: it doesn't clean lists you upload | | Ongoing verification of CRM or form sign-ups | Not what Leadraft does | ## What should you use for a local business list?[#](#what-should-you-use-for-a-local-business-list) Build it in Leadraft. The check is included, so you never buy verification credits on top of a list. Only Verified emails you take out use a checked-email credit: Starter is $19 a month for 1,000, Growth $49 for 5,000, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. For comparison, verifying 10,000 emails from another source costs $11.90 to $129 on its own at the prices above, before you've paid for the list itself. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the cheapest email verifier?[#](#what-is-the-cheapest-email-verifier) On list prices as of November 2026, Reoon is the cheapest per 1,000 at both 10,000 ($11.90) and 100,000 ($116.40) one-time credits. MillionVerifier is next at 100,000 ($149), and NeverBounce's Growth subscription is $159 a month for 100,000. Check whether catch-all and unknown results are charged before comparing. ### What free credits do email verifiers give?[#](#what-free-credits-do-email-verifiers-give) Reoon gives 20 free verifications a day, up to 600 a month, plus 100 bonus credits at sign-up. Emailable gives 250 credits once. ZeroBounce gives 100 a month with a business domain. MillionVerifier, Bouncer and Kickbox give 100. Hunter's free plan has 50 credits a month, and a verification costs half a credit. ### Can an email verifier check catch-all addresses?[#](#can-an-email-verifier-check-catch-all-addresses) Not with certainty. A catch-all server accepts every address, so the normal mailbox check proves nothing. Some verifiers try extra methods: ZeroBounce says it resolves many addresses on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and some security gateways, and MillionVerifier says it resolves 30% to 40% of catch-alls. Treat what is left as a maybe. More in the [catch-all glossary entry](https://leadraft.co/glossary/catch-all-email). ### Do email verifiers charge for unknown results?[#](#do-email-verifiers-charge-for-unknown-results) Most don't. ZeroBounce, Bouncer, Kickbox, Emailable, Reoon and MillionVerifier all say unknown results are free or refunded. MillionVerifier also doesn't charge for catch-alls it can't resolve. Reoon charges one credit for a catch-all result, and ZeroBounce's pricing page only exempts unknowns. ### Do I need an email verifier for a local business list?[#](#do-i-need-an-email-verifier-for-a-local-business-list) Not if you build the list in Leadraft. It checks every email against the live mail server as it finds it, keeps catch-alls apart as Accept-all, and never exports Invalid, so the list is already graded when you download it. A standalone verifier is for cleaning a list you got somewhere else; for that job, run the same 500 addresses through a few verifiers' free credits and compare the Valid, Catch-all and Unknown counts. ## Sources[#](#sources) All pages checked as of November 2026. 1.

Prices as of October 2026. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # The best Google Maps scrapers in 2026, compared The best Google Maps scrapers in 2026, compared on coverage, emails, verification, area search and the real cost of 5,000 leads. Prices as of October 2026. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 21 min Category Comparison For **local business leads with emails checked against the live mailbox**, ready to send, the best Google Maps scraper in 2026 is Leadraft. We make Leadraft, so weigh that. It covers a whole city, county or drawn area past the 120-result cap, finds emails on each business's own website, checks every one, and charges once per business. Most other tools sell raw Maps records and leave email finding and verification as add-ons or to you. The rest of this page shows the facts behind that: the criteria, a summary table, a worked cost for 5,000 businesses, and a factual section on each tool. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this comparison, and Leadraft is one of the tools in it. Read the method below before you trust the verdicts._ **Last checked: November 3, 2026.** Prices and features were re-checked on that date for Scrap.io, Apify and PhantomBuster, and in October 2026 for the others. The changelog at the end lists what changed. ## How did we evaluate Google Maps scrapers?[#](#how-did-we-evaluate-google-maps-scrapers) We compared each tool on eight criteria, using only what the vendor publishes. We did not run a lab benchmark: there are no speed, coverage or email-yield test results on this page, because we haven't run the same test on every tool yet. If a number below isn't a price or a published limit, it's labeled as an assumption. **What we did, step by step.** 1. **Picked the tools.** Ten widely used tools that appear in the leading "best Google Maps scraper" lists and alternatives pages, plus Leadraft. The section "Other tools we haven't reviewed in depth" names the ones we left out. 2. **Read the vendor's own pages.** Pricing page, product or actor page, help docs and, where prices only appear at checkout (D7 Lead Finder), the checkout page as a US customer. For Apify we read the per-event prices from the actor's public listing in Apify's API, which shows each plan tier. Every page is linked in the Sources. 3. **Recorded only stated facts.** "Not stated" in the tables means we couldn't find it on the pages we read. It doesn't mean the feature is missing. 4. **Priced one fixed job.** 5,000 businesses in one metro taken through to checked emails, with the same assumptions for every tool (spelled out in that section), so the totals compare like with like. 5. **Took review scores from Trustpilot** on the dates shown, as a signal of how customers feel, not as a quality score of ours. 6. **Described each tool's focus** from the vendor's own pages, without scoring them against each other on things we didn't test. **The eight criteria.** They decide whether a scraped list turns into replies. They're listed so you can disagree with the weighting. 1. **Coverage past the result cap.** One Google Maps search stops at about 120 results. Does the tool split the area to get the rest, and does it say so? 2. **Email finding.** Google Maps rarely shows an email. Does the tool visit the business's website to find one, and is that included or extra? 3. **Verification.** Is each email checked against the mail server before you send? Are catch-all (accept-all) servers flagged separately? 4. **Area targeting.** Can you search a city, county or ZIP code, a radius or a drawn polygon? Is that on every plan? 5. **Pricing model and cost per 1,000 checked emails.** Subscription, credits or pay as you go. We price a full chain, from businesses to checked emails, below. 6. **Integrations and API.** CSV only, or push to a sequencer or CRM? Is there an API or an MCP server for AI assistants? 7. **Ease.** No-code app, browser extension, or a developer tool you configure? 8. **Free tier.** What you can do without paying, and without a card. **What we didn't measure.** Speed, how many businesses each tool returns for the same area, the share of rows outside the area or in the wrong trade, email yield, and the share of emails that pass a mailbox check. Those need the same search run in every tool on the same day. The checklist near the end shows how to run that test yourself on free tiers. When we publish our own run, it will go in this post with the raw counts and the date. ## Which Google Maps scraper should you use?[#](#which-google-maps-scraper-should-you-use) For a list of local businesses you can email, use Leadraft.

Scroll horizontally if needed → | If you need… | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | Local leads with checked emails, ready to send | Finds the businesses, finds emails on their websites and checks each one; all included in every plan | | Every business in a city or county, not just 120 | Searches the area in tiles to get past the per-search cap | | A precise area: radius, polygon or KML file | Draw or upload it on any plan; businesses outside it are never charged | | A list you'll refresh every month | Charges once per business; re-running an area only charges for new ones | | Leads pushed straight into a sequencer or CRM | Pushes to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist and HubSpot, plus Sheets, Zapier, webhooks, API and MCP | | Review text or photos | Not what Leadraft does | | Apple Maps or Bing Maps data | Not what Leadraft does; it searches Google Maps only | | A browser extension | Not what Leadraft does; it runs in the cloud | | A general scraper for sites other than Maps | Not what Leadraft does | ## How do the best Google Maps scrapers compare?[#](#how-do-the-best-google-maps-scrapers-compare) This table compares the main facts, as of October 2026.

The cheapest raw records aren't always the cheapest sendable list, because email finding and verification are often extra. **The scenario.** You want 5,000 businesses in one metro, their website emails, and every email checked before you send. For the arithmetic we assume 2,500 of the 5,000 have a findable email. That 50% is an assumption, not a measurement: it varies a lot by trade and city. Where a tool doesn't verify, we add a separate verifier at Outscraper's published rate of $3 per 1,000 (about $7.50 for 2,500 emails), so every row compares the same finished list. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Businesses | Emails | Verification | Total, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leadraft | Growth plan, $49 (100,000 businesses, 5,000 checked emails) | Included | Included | **$49** (Starter at $19 covers it if no more than 1,000 come back Verified) | | Outscraper | 4,500 paid places × $3/1k = $13.50 | Up to 4,500 paid domains × $3/1k = $13.50 | 2,475 paid × $3/1k = $7.43 | **$34** (more if you've used the free allowances) | | Apify | 5,000 × $3/1k = $15 (Starter-plan rate) | 5,000 × $2/1k = $10 | Separate verifier, $7.50 | **$33** | | G Maps Extractor | Lite plan, $19 (20,000 records) | Included in records | Separate verifier, $7.50 | **$27** | | Scrap.io | Basic plan, $49 billed monthly (city search only) | Email field in export | Separate verifier, $7.50 | **$57** ($107 on Professional for county or radius search) | | D7 Lead Finder | Starter, $44.99 (10 searches a day) | Included | Separate verifier, $7.50 | **$52** | | Lobstr.io | Starter, $20 (5,000 base + about 2,500 email credits) | +1 credit per business with an email | Verify Emails price not stated | **$20** plus verification | | Bright Data | Free tier, $0 (5,000 records) | Not stated, so add a finder, e.g. Outscraper, $13.50 | Separate verifier, $7.50 | **$21** using two vendors | PhantomBuster and Octoparse are left out of the totals. PhantomBuster bills by execution time, and we didn't time a run. Octoparse's Maps template costs $2 per 1,000 lines plus $0.50 per 1,000 for its Email Finder (about $12.50 here), but we couldn't confirm from the page which plan the templates need. **What the table shows.** At 5,000 businesses, pay-as-you-go tools and G Maps Extractor are cheaper than a Leadraft plan. The picture changes with volume. At 50,000 businesses and 25,000 emails, Outscraper's chain comes to about $372, and Apify's about $325 at Starter-plan rates with the same separate verifier. Leadraft's Scale plan is $149 and includes 30,000 checked emails. G Maps Extractor stays cheap on records (Basic, $49 for 80,000), and its total depends on the verifier you pair it with. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. **Then divide by what passed.** Whatever you pay, divide it by the number of emails that come back Verified. That cost per verified email, not the price per row, is what reaches an inbox. Our [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) does this arithmetic for your own numbers. ## The tools, one by one[#](#the-tools-one-by-one) Each section covers what the tool is, its pricing as of October 2026 with the source, its strengths and limits, and who it's aimed at. ### 1\. Leadraft[#](#1-leadraft) **What it is.** A lead tool built on Google Maps. You name a trade and a place, or draw the area, and it finds the businesses inside it, finds emails on each business's own website, and checks each address against the mail server. Disclosure again: this is our product. **Pricing (October 2026).** Free $0 (500 businesses, 50 checked emails a month, no card). Starter $19 (25,000 businesses, 1,000 checked emails). Growth $49 (100,000, 5,000). Pro $99 (300,000, 15,000). Scale $149 (600,000, 30,000). Yearly billing charges ten months. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). **Strengths.** - Email finding and verification are in every plan. Catch-all servers get their own Accept-all grade, and Invalid addresses never export. How the check works is on our [verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) page. - Coverage past the cap: it searches the area in tiles. In one measured run, Portland coffee shops, it found 457 businesses against 230 from a single search. That's one city and one keyword, so treat it as an illustration ([coverage methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/coverage)). - City, county or postcode, a polygon, a radius or a KML file, on every plan. Businesses outside the area or in the wrong trade are shown free and never charged. - Charged once per business, ever. Re-running an area only charges for new businesses. - Push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist and HubSpot; Google Sheets feeds, Zapier, signed webhooks, a REST API and an MCP server ([integrations](https://leadraft.co/product/integrations), [MCP](https://leadraft.co/mcp)). **Limitations.** No review text or photos. No Chrome extension. No owner names. It searches Google Maps only, not Apple or Bing. It's newer than most tools here, with no public review profile yet. **Built for.** Agencies, cold-email operators and local sales teams who want a list they can send to without stitching three tools together. ### 2\. Outscraper[#](#2-outscraper) **What it is.** A pay-as-you-go data platform with a Google Maps scraper and many other scrapers, including Google Maps reviews. **Pricing (October 2026).** Maps places: first 500 free, then $3 per 1,000 up to 100,000 and $1 per 1,000 after. Emails & Contacts: first 500 free, then $3 and $1 per 1,000 domains. Email verifier: first 25 free, then $3 and $1 per 1,000. Reviews: first 500 free, then $3 and $1 per 1,000. Tiers reset every 30 days, and prepaid credits never expire. **Strengths.** The richest field set we reviewed, including review counts, photo counts and owner IDs, plus a reviews scraper for review text. Simple per-task prices. Zapier and HubSpot integrations and an API. Trustpilot shows 4.6 from 342 reviews (October 2026), and reviewers often praise support. **Limitations.** Places, emails and verification are separate line items, so a finished list costs the sum of three. Area targeting on the scraper page is "select locations", with no polygon described. Some Trustpilot reviewers mention refunds and gaps in returned data. **Who it's aimed at.** Teams collecting many kinds of Google data, priced per task. Our full [Leadraft vs Outscraper](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper) comparison goes further. ### 3\. Apify Google Maps Scraper[#](#3-apify-google-maps-scraper) **What it is.** The most-used Google Maps actor on Apify's platform, which hosts thousands of scrapers. The actor page shows 675,908 total users and a 4.71 rating (October 2026). **Pricing (October 2026).** Pay per event. A scraped place costs $4 per 1,000 on the Free plan, $3 on Starter, $2 on Scale and $1.50 on Business. Add-ons are extra: company contacts enrichment (website emails and socials) at $2 per 1,000 places on Free and Starter, reviews, images, filters, social-profile enrichment and people leads. Platform plans: Free with $5 of usage a month, Starter $19, Scale $199, Business $999, each including that much usage. Unused usage doesn't roll over. **Strengths.** Claims to bypass the 120-place limit and splits a country or state into subregions for you. Polygon, MultiPolygon and point-radius search. Very flexible: API, scheduling, webhooks and chaining with other actors. Trustpilot 4.8 from 817 reviews (October 2026). **Limitations.** Costs are the sum of events and add-ons, and reviewers say usage "adds up quickly" at scale. The email verification add-on applies to emails from its people-lead enrichment, not to the website emails from company contacts enrichment, according to the actor's input settings. It's a developer-leaning tool: you configure inputs and handle outputs. **Who it's aimed at.** Developers and data teams building their own pipelines. See [Leadraft vs Apify](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify). ### 4\. Scrap.io[#](#4-scrapio) **What it is.** A local-leads database covering Google Maps, Apple Maps and Bing Maps, searched by place and filtered before export. **Pricing (November 2026).** Monthly billing: Basic $49 (10,000 export credits), Professional $99 (20,000), Agency $199 (40,000), Company $499 (100,000). Yearly is $35, $69, $139 and $350 a month. Each place counts once per 30 days. Credits don't carry over. The homepage offers a 7-day trial for up to 100 leads. **Strengths.** Three map platforms. Filters before export: website, phone, mobile, email, rating, Facebook and Instagram. API and MCP access on every plan. Trustpilot 4.5 from 78 reviews (October 2026). **Limitations.** Geography is tied to plan: Basic searches by city only, radius starts on Professional, and polygon search is on Company ($499 monthly, $350 yearly) only. Email verification isn't described on the pricing page. Some reviewers mention thin data in certain countries. **Who it's aimed at.** Users searching a prebuilt map database across Google, Apple and Bing. More in [Leadraft vs Scrap.io](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io). ### 5\. G Maps Extractor[#](#5-g-maps-extractor) **What it is.** A cloud scraper, a Chrome and Edge extension, and an API, built for low cost per record. **Pricing (October 2026).** Online scraper: Free (1,000 records a month, no card), Lite $19 (20,000 records), Basic $49 (80,000), Growth $99 (250,000), Professional $149 (500,000). Paid plans include 10 to 100 verified decision-maker emails a month. Extension: Free, $39 (100,000) and $99 (500,000). API from $15 for 1,000 requests of up to 20 businesses each. 7-day money-back guarantee. **Strengths.** The lowest price per raw record we found: about $0.30 per 1,000 on Professional. The extension extracts saved place lists, which cloud tools can't. Reviews, photos and 31 fields. An MCP server. **Limitations.** Business emails are described as "scraped from the internet", and the pricing page doesn't describe verifying them. The verified decision-maker emails are a small separate allowance. No polygon or radius search is described. Its price points ($19, $49, $99, $149) match Leadraft's, but the units differ: records per month there, businesses charged once plus checked emails here. **Who it's aimed at.** Users who want a browser extension and per-record pricing, and who handle email verification themselves. See [Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor). ### 6\. PhantomBuster[#](#6-phantombuster) **What it is.** A cloud automation platform, mostly used for LinkedIn. Its Google Maps Search Export phantom exports Maps search results to a spreadsheet. **Pricing (October 2026).** Monthly billing: Start $69 (20 hours of execution time, 5 slots, 500 email credits), Grow $159 (80 hours, 15 slots), Scale $439 (300 hours, 50 slots). Annual billing is about 20% less. The free trial includes 2 hours of execution time, with exports limited to 10 rows. **Strengths.** One account for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Instagram and Maps workflows. Runs in the cloud with your browser closed. Integrations with HubSpot, Zapier, Make and n8n, and an MCP server. **Limitations.** The phantom's own page says Google Maps shows about 120 results per search and that "you won't be able to access any more than this". You split searches yourself. Emails need a second phantom that crawls websites. PhantomBuster recommends a proxy, because results vary with server location. Trustpilot is 3.4 from 114 reviews (October 2026). **Who it's aimed at.** Teams automating LinkedIn and other platforms, with Maps as one of many automations. See [Leadraft vs PhantomBuster](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-phantombuster). ### 7\. D7 Lead Finder[#](#7-d7-lead-finder) **What it is.** A keyword-and-location lead finder that returns business contacts plus website and ad signals. **Pricing (October 2026).** Starter $44.99 a month (10 daily searches, about 3,500 daily leads), Agency $54.99 (30 searches, about 10,000 leads), Professional $119.99 (100 searches, about 30,000 leads, 5 sub-accounts), as shown at checkout for a US customer. Five free searches a day, not exportable. **Strengths.** Up to 1,200 leads per search, with results "in 3 minutes or less". Detects email provider (Google, Outlook, Zoho), Facebook Pixel and Google remarketing, paid ads, mobile-friendliness and analytics. Exports to CSV, Excel and PDF. Bulk search and an API. **Limitations.** Billed by daily searches, so very large areas take several days of quota. The site doesn't describe email verification or say where its data comes from. No polygon or radius search is described. **Who it's aimed at.** Agencies that sell ads or websites and look at signals like "no pixel" on each lead. See [Leadraft vs D7 Lead Finder](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-d7-lead-finder). ### 8\. Bright Data[#](#8-bright-data) **What it is.** An enterprise web-data company. Its Google Maps scraper is an API, and it also sells a ready-made Google Maps dataset. **Pricing (October 2026).** Free: 5,000 records a month, no card. Pay as you go: $1.50 per 1,000 records. Scale: $499 a month for 384,000 records, then $1.30 per 1,000. Enterprise by quote. **Strengths.** Scale and infrastructure. A hosted MCP server. The most generous free record allowance we found. **Limitations.** It's a data API, not a lead tool. The page doesn't mention finding or verifying emails, so you'd add both. **Who it's aimed at.** Data and engineering teams buying raw web data through an API. ### 9\. Octoparse[#](#9-octoparse) **What it is.** A visual, no-code web scraper for any site, with ready-made templates, including Google Maps. **Pricing (October 2026).** Free plan (10 tasks, up to 50,000 rows a month exported, no cloud extraction listed). Standard from $69 a month and Professional $249 a month, both billed annually. The advanced Google Maps template is $2 per 1,000 lines, and its Google Maps Email Finder is $0.50 per 1,000 lines. Templates come with a 14-day trial and $2 of credit. **Strengths.** The advanced template says it can exceed the 120-result limit by splitting the map. One tool for Maps and any other website. Cloud or local runs. **Limitations.** Emails come from a separate template. No verification is described. More setup than a dedicated lead tool. **Who it's aimed at.** People who scrape many kinds of websites with a visual builder. ### 10\. Lobstr.io[#](#10-lobstrio) **What it is.** A no-code scraping platform with a Google Maps Leads Scraper among its ready-made scrapers. **Pricing (October 2026).** Free (100 credits a month, exports capped at 30 rows), Starter $20 a month (10,000 credits), Pro $100 (100,000), Team $500 (1,000,000). One credit per result. Extracting emails from the website is +1 credit, charged only when an email is found. Credits refresh monthly and don't roll over. **Strengths.** Runs one search per ZIP code and dedupes, for full-area coverage. A geo-match option drops listings more than 50 km outside the area, unbilled. A Verify Emails option, Google Sheets and S3 export, a REST API, Make and an MCP server. **Limitations.** The page doesn't price Verify Emails, and its status labels are listed inconsistently (`risky` in one place, `invalid` in another). No polygon drawing is described. **Who it's aimed at.** Users who want no-code scrapers priced per result. ## Other tools we haven't reviewed in depth[#](#other-tools-we-havent-reviewed-in-depth) These come up in the same searches. We haven't checked their pricing and features the way we did for the ten above, so they get no verdict here. - **SerpApi, Oxylabs, Zyte and ScrapingBee.** Developer APIs that return Google Maps results as JSON. They're aimed at engineers who want a request-and-response API and handle email finding and verification themselves. - **Instant Data Scraper and Web Scraper.io.** General-purpose Chrome extensions that read whatever is on the page. On Google Maps they're limited to the results the page loads. Our [free Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/free-google-maps-scraper) guide covers free routes like these. - **Map Lead Scraper, Leads Sniper, MapsLeads and Thunderbit.** Smaller Maps-focused tools and extensions. Check each one's pricing page against the eight criteria above. ## What about open-source scrapers and the Google Places API?[#](#what-about-open-source-scrapers-and-the-google-places-api) Both are real options, with costs that don't show on a price page. - **Open source.** The most-starred project, gosom/google-maps-scraper on GitHub, is MIT-licensed, had about 7,100 stars and was updated in October 2026. Projects like it are free to run, but you supply servers, proxies and upkeep when Google changes its pages. Our [free Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/free-google-maps-scraper) guide covers them. - **Google Places API.** This is Google's official route. Text Search returns at most 60 results per query. Asking for phone, website or rating puts a request on the Text Search Enterprise SKU: 1,000 free a month, then $35 per 1,000 (October 2026). Check the Places API terms on storing and reusing results before you build a list on it. ## Is it legal to use a Google Maps scraper?[#](#is-it-legal-to-use-a-google-maps-scraper) It isn't a yes-or-no question. Google's Maps terms (last modified January 27, 2026) bar users from mass-downloading content or creating bulk feeds, and from using Maps content to create mailing or telemarketing lists. Those are contract terms between you and Google. Separately, business facts like a name and phone number are public. Personal data, such as a named owner's email, can fall under laws like GDPR in Europe. Your outreach also has its own rules: CAN-SPAM in the US for commercial email. Every vendor here, us included, leaves the use of the data to you. Read our longer piece on [whether scraping Google Maps is legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) and get legal advice for your situation. ## How do you test a Google Maps scraper? A quick decision rule[#](#how-do-you-test-a-google-maps-scraper-a-quick-decision-rule) Run your real market through Leadraft's free plan and any tool you're weighing it against, and compare what comes out, not what the pages promise. - [ ] Same keyword, same city, in both tools - [ ] Count unique businesses inside the area, not raw rows - [ ] Count emails that pass a mailbox check; treat catch-all as a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)) - [ ] Add every line on the bill: places, emails, verification, plan - [ ] Divide the bill by verified emails - [ ] Check what a re-run costs next month ## Our recommendation[#](#our-recommendation) For local business leads, use Leadraft. Finding the businesses, finding their website emails and checking each email are all in one plan price: 5,000 businesses with checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan, and 50,000 businesses with up to 30,000 checked emails fit in the $149 Scale plan, against about $372 for the same job on Outscraper's three line items. You draw the area, you're charged once per business, and Invalid addresses never export. Start on the free plan: 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, no card. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best Google Maps scraper in 2026?[#](#what-is-the-best-google-maps-scraper-in-2026) For local business lists you can send to, Leadraft (we wrote this post). It finds the businesses in a city, county or drawn area, finds emails on their own websites, checks every email against the mailbox and charges once per business. 5,000 businesses with checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan. The other tools here sell raw records, with email finding and verification as extras or left to you. ### Which Google Maps scraper is cheapest?[#](#which-google-maps-scraper-is-cheapest) Per raw record, G Maps Extractor's Professional plan works out at about $0.30 per 1,000 records and Leadraft's Scale plan at about $0.25 per 1,000 businesses, as of October 2026. Bright Data gives 5,000 records a month free. Per checked email, compare the whole chain: places, email finding and verification. ### Can a Google Maps scraper get more than 120 results?[#](#can-a-google-maps-scraper-get-more-than-120-results) A single Google Maps search stops at around 120 results. Tools get past it by splitting the area into smaller searches: Apify, Octoparse's advanced template, Lobstr (one search per ZIP code) and Leadraft all describe doing this. PhantomBuster's Maps phantom says it is limited to about 120 per search. More in [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). ### Do Google Maps scrapers verify emails?[#](#do-google-maps-scrapers-verify-emails) Most don't by default. Google Maps rarely lists emails, so tools crawl the business website. Outscraper sells verification as a separate product, Apify's verification add-on covers its people-lead emails, Lobstr has a Verify Emails option, and Leadraft includes verification in every plan. Others leave it to you. ### Is it legal to scrape Google Maps?[#](#is-it-legal-to-scrape-google-maps) Google's Maps terms forbid bulk downloading content and using Maps to build mailing or telemarketing lists. Whether that matters for you depends on the data, how you use it and where you are. Business facts, personal data and contract terms are different questions. Get legal advice for your situation. ## Changelog[#](#changelog) - **November 3, 2026.** Re-checked Scrap.io: plans are $49, $99, $199 and $499 a month billed monthly, or $35, $69, $139 and $350 a month billed yearly; tables now show both.

Risks and Alternatives URL: https://leadraft.co/blog/buy-business-email-list Summary: Buying a business email list risks spam traps, bounces and legal trouble. What CAN-SPAM, GDPR and CASL say, how to vet a list, and how to build your own. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Should you buy a business email list? The risks, and the alternative Buying a business email list risks spam traps, bounces and legal trouble. What CAN-SPAM, GDPR and CASL say, how to vet a list, and how to build your own. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Deliverability Usually, no. A bought business email list is a list of addresses someone else collected, at some point in the past, for someone else's purposes. It tends to contain dead addresses, spam traps and people who've never heard of you, and Gmail's own sender guidelines tell senders not to purchase email addresses from other companies \[1\]. Buying one is legal in the US and B2B cold email is allowed under CAN-SPAM, but the deliverability risk is high and the rules are stricter in the UK, EU and Canada. Building your own list from current sources costs less than most people expect and carries far less risk. If you're going to buy anyway, there's a vetting checklist below. Read it before you pay. ## What actually goes wrong with a bought list?[#](#what-actually-goes-wrong-with-a-bought-list) Three things go wrong, and they compound: addresses decay, traps get you blocklisted, and recipients complain. ### Addresses decay faster than lists are refreshed[#](#addresses-decay-faster-than-lists-are-refreshed) Business data goes stale constantly. In the second quarter of 2025, 310,000 US establishments closed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics \[2\], against roughly 12.1 million establishments counted in 2025 \[3\]. That's something like 2–3% of businesses gone every quarter, before you count the ones that changed name, moved, switched domain or replaced their email provider. People move too. The median worker had been with their current employer 4.1 years in January 2026 \[4\], which means a named contact on a list has a real chance of having left within a year or two. And new businesses churn fastest: about one in five new establishments doesn't survive its first year \[5\]. A list that was accurate when it was compiled loses accuracy every month after. ### Spam traps get you blocklisted[#](#spam-traps-get-you-blocklisted) Spam traps are addresses that blocklist operators and mailbox providers use to catch careless senders. Roughly, there are two kinds: - **Pristine traps:** addresses that never belonged to anyone, often planted where scrapers will collect them. Any mail to one shows that your list wasn't built from real opt-ins or real business pages. - **Recycled traps:** real addresses that were abandoned, bounced for a while, then turned back on as traps. Old lists are full of these. You can't see a trap. It looks like any other address, it doesn't bounce, and it never replies. Spamhaus, which runs some of the most widely used blocklists, puts it bluntly: "Inevitably, purchased lists contain spamtraps or generate abuse complaints and bounces, and then the buyers find themselves blocklisted for spamming" \[13\]. Once you're listed, a lot of your mail, including mail to customers, goes to spam or gets rejected. ### Recipients complain[#](#recipients-complain) People who don't recognize you mark your email as spam. Google asks senders to keep their spam rate, as reported in Postmaster Tools, below 0.1% and to never reach 0.3% \[1\]. That's one or three complaints per thousand messages. A poorly targeted bought list can blow through that in one send. ## Is it legal to buy and use a business email list?[#](#is-it-legal-to-buy-and-use-a-business-email-list) It depends on the country, and on whether the addresses belong to named people. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Where | B2B cold email allowed? | What it means for a bought list | | --- | --- | --- | | United States (CAN-SPAM) | Yes, without prior consent | Every message needs honest headers and subject, your postal address, an opt-out honored within 10 business days. Harvested or dictionary-generated addresses are aggravated violations. Penalties up to $53,088 per email \[6\] | | United Kingdom (PECR + UK GDPR) | To limited companies, generally yes, with an opt-out | Sole traders and some partnerships count as individuals. The ICO says bought-in lists can only be used to email individuals who consented to messages from you specifically \[7\]\[8\] | | European Union (GDPR + national ePrivacy laws) | Varies by country | Named work addresses are personal data. You need a lawful basis, and when you didn't collect the data yourself you must tell people where you got it, within a month at the latest \[9\] | | Canada (CASL) | Only with consent | Implied consent can come from a conspicuously published business address, if the message is relevant to the person's role and no "no solicitations" notice is posted. A list vendor's say-so doesn't create consent \[10\] | Two things follow. First, in the US the law cares more about how you send than where you got the address, but "the vendor said it's compliant" doesn't move your responsibility anywhere: the FTC is clear that hiring someone else doesn't remove your liability \[6\]. Second, outside the US, a bought list of named people is hard to use lawfully. This is general information, not legal advice; our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) covers more, and you should get advice for your situation. ## What do list vendors actually sell?[#](#what-do-list-vendors-actually-sell) Vendors sell access to a database, usually under a license, and the terms matter more than the headline number of records. Before paying, find out: - **What you're licensing.** One-time use, unlimited use for a year, or access only while subscribed? Can you load it into your CRM and keep it? - **Who else has it.** Most lists are sold to many buyers. Assume your prospects get the same pitch from everyone who bought the same file. - **How emails are counted.** Some vendors charge per record and treat email as an extra. Salesgenie (Data Axle's SMB product, also listed as Data Axle Genie on some review sites), for example, listed plans starting at $99 a month as of November 2026, with exports and email addresses using separately purchased credits \[11\]. - **What the guarantee covers.** If there's a deliverability guarantee, what counts as a bounce, how you claim, and whether you get money back or just replacement records. Many large data providers, including ZoomInfo, don't publish prices at all; you get a quote from sales \[12\]. For a broader comparison of who sells what, see [local business databases compared](https://leadraft.co/blog/local-business-database). ## If I do buy a list, how do I check it before sending?[#](#if-i-do-buy-a-list-how-do-i-check-it-before-sending) Treat a bought list as unverified until you've proven otherwise. Run this checklist before a single campaign: - [ ] **Ask for the source and date** of every address, or at least of the file. "Compiled from public sources" isn't an answer. - [ ] **Ask when it was last verified,** and how. - [ ] **Verify a random sample of 100 addresses yourself** with an email verifier. Count valid, catch-all and invalid. - [ ] **Stop if more than a few are invalid.** If the sample is bad, the whole list is bad. - [ ] **Count catch-all domains.** A verifier can't confirm those addresses; treat them as a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). - [ ] **Dedupe** by address and by domain, and remove role addresses that you don't want (like `abuse@` or `postmaster@`). - [ ] **Check against your suppression list** of people who've opted out before. - [ ] **Send from a separate domain,** to a small slice first, and watch bounces and complaints before you send more. - [ ] **Keep records** of where the list came from, in case anyone asks. ## What does it cost to build my own list instead?[#](#what-does-it-cost-to-build-my-own-list-instead) Less than you might think, in money and time, because the inputs are free and the work is repeatable. Here's the math for 1,000 emails to local businesses. **Building by hand.** Say it takes three minutes per business to look up the website, check the contact page and verify the address, and about half of the businesses with a website give up an email (in Leadraft's runs, about 54% of business websites did, before verification). To get 1,000 found emails you'd check roughly 1,850 websites: 1,850 × 3 minutes ≈ 92 hours. At $25 an hour, that's about $2,300, or $2.30 per email, plus a verifier. **Building with a tool.** On Leadraft's Starter plan, $19 a month includes 25,000 business credits and 1,000 checked-email credits. If you use the whole email allowance, that's $19 ÷ 1,000 ≈ $0.02 per checked email. You only spend a checked-email credit on a verified email you take out; catch-all and invalid grades are free. To get there, you'd use a few thousand business credits for businesses whose sites didn't have an email, which fit comfortably inside the allowance. **Buying.** Get a quote in the same unit, price per _verified, usable_ email, after your own sample check. Per-record prices look cheap until you subtract the bounces, the duplicates and the catch-alls. ## How do I build a business email list myself?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-business-email-list-myself) The process, in short: 1. **Define the market:** trade, area and the rule that makes a business a fit. 2. **Get the businesses** from current sources: Google Maps for businesses that serve the public, or official registers. See [how to get a list of all businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/list-of-businesses-in-my-area). 3. **Find the email on each business's own website:** contact page, footer, About page, privacy policy. See [how to find the email of any local business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses). 4. **Verify every address** and set catch-alls aside as maybes. 5. **Keep the source** of every address and a suppression list from day one. 6. **Refresh it.** Re-run the same market regularly and add only what's new. Our step-by-step [guide to building a local lead list from Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) walks through each step. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Is it legal to buy a business email list in the US?[#](#is-it-legal-to-buy-a-business-email-list-in-the-us) Buying a list isn't illegal in the US, and CAN-SPAM allows business-to-business cold email without prior consent, as long as each message has honest headers and subject lines, your postal address and a working opt-out. Harvesting addresses or generating them by dictionary attack is an aggravated violation. Other countries are stricter. ### Why do purchased email lists hurt deliverability?[#](#why-do-purchased-email-lists-hurt-deliverability) They tend to contain dead addresses that bounce, spam traps that blocklists use to catch senders, and people who never heard of you and mark you as spam. Gmail's sender guidelines say directly not to purchase email addresses from other companies. ### Can I use a bought email list in the UK or EU?[#](#can-i-use-a-bought-email-list-in-the-uk-or-eu) Rarely for named people. Under UK GDPR and the EU GDPR, a named person's work address is personal data, and the ICO says bought-in lists can only be used for email marketing to individuals if they consented to messages from you specifically. Emailing limited companies is treated differently under PECR, but GDPR still applies to named people. ### How much does a business email list cost?[#](#how-much-does-a-business-email-list-cost) Prices vary widely and many vendors only quote on request. For example, Salesgenie (Data Axle) listed plans from $99 a month as of October 2026, with exports and email addresses using credits bought separately. Ask for the price per usable, verified email, not per record. ### How do I check a purchased email list before using it?[#](#how-do-i-check-a-purchased-email-list-before-using-it) Ask when each address was last verified and where it came from, verify a random sample of 100 yourself, check how many are catch-all, look for duplicates and role addresses, and send to a small slice first. If more than a few percent of the sample is invalid, don't send to the rest. ### What's the alternative to buying an email list?[#](#whats-the-alternative-to-buying-an-email-list) Build your own from current sources: take businesses from Google Maps or official registers, find the email on each business's own website, and verify every address before you send. It's fresher, it's yours, and you know where each address came from. Leadraft does those steps for the area you choose and charges once per business, ever. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The workflow that works is to get the list from a real data source, verify the emails, and use ChatGPT for what it's good at: sorting, segmenting and writing. ## What can ChatGPT actually do for lead generation?[#](#what-can-chatgpt-actually-do-for-lead-generation) ChatGPT is strong at the thinking and writing around a lead list and weak at producing the list. Here's how its modes compare as of November 2026, per OpenAI's help center: Scroll horizontally if needed → | ChatGPT mode | What it does | Good for | Not good for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Plain chat (no search) | Answers from training data | ICPs, keyword ideas, email copy | Any current contact detail | | Search | Searches the web, answers with inline citations and a Sources panel | Researching a few named businesses | Complete market lists | | ChatGPT agent | Uses a visual browser, a code interpreter and connected apps to carry out tasks | Small multi-step research jobs | Hundreds or thousands of rows | | File upload and data analysis | Reads and processes a CSV or spreadsheet you give it | Cleaning, deduping, segmenting, summarizing | Getting data it doesn't have | The pattern: ChatGPT can process a list you bring, and research a short one. It can't conjure a complete, current, checked one. ## Why can't ChatGPT give me every business in a city?[#](#why-cant-chatgpt-give-me-every-business-in-a-city) Because none of its modes is a business database. Search returns what a web search engine ranks for your query, which is a sample of well-optimized pages, not an inventory. OpenAI's help center says ChatGPT search sometimes sends rewritten versions of your question to search partners such as Bing, and that results and citations can be incomplete, outdated or incorrect. The agent can open Google Maps, but Maps itself stops a single search after roughly 120 results, and the agent reads results from screenshots one screen at a time. For a metro area with hundreds of dentists, that's a fraction of the market, collected slowly. Our explainer on [the 120-result limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) shows why full lists need the area searched tile by tile. There's a contract issue too. Google's Maps terms restrict scraping and exporting Maps content, and that applies whether a person, a script or an AI agent does the clicking. Read [is scraping Google Maps legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) for the difference between public business data, personal data and contract terms. ## Does ChatGPT make up email addresses?[#](#does-chatgpt-make-up-email-addresses) It can. Ask a language model for "the email of Smith Family Dental in Tulsa" without search and it may return something that looks right, like `info@smithfamilydental.com`, because that's the pattern such addresses follow. A September 2025 paper by OpenAI researchers argues that standard training and evaluation reward confident guessing over admitting uncertainty, and a small business's email is the kind of rare, specific fact models guess at. With search on, ChatGPT is better: it copies addresses it finds on pages and cites them. But a page can be years old, and copying isn't checking. Neither mode does what an email verifier does. A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. A verifier connects to the domain's mail server and asks whether the mailbox exists, without sending anything. Some servers accept every address (catch-all), which is why those get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. Sending to unchecked addresses raises your bounce rate, and bounces count against a new sending domain. See [how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) and [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained). Scroll horizontally if needed → | | ChatGPT (search) | Email verifier or lead tool with verification | | --- | --- | --- | | Where the address comes from | A page it found, or a guess without search | The business's own website, or your list | | Checked against the mail server | No | Yes | | Catch-all detected | No | Yes, graded separately | | Safe to send without more checks | No | Verified addresses, yes | ## What's a better way to use ChatGPT for lead generation?[#](#whats-a-better-way-to-use-chatgpt-for-lead-generation) Split the job: data from a source, judgment and writing from ChatGPT. A workflow that holds up: 1. **Define the customer with ChatGPT.** "I sell bookkeeping to restaurants in Ohio. List 20 Google Maps category terms that cover them." Our [Google Maps categories list](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-categories-list) helps here. 2. **Build the list in a lead tool.** Search those terms in the places you sell, with emails found and checked. See the [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) for the full process. 3. **Upload the CSV to ChatGPT.** Ask it to drop chains, flag businesses with fewer than 20 reviews, and split the rest by category. 4. **Draft copy per segment.** "Write a three-email sequence for independent restaurants with 4.5+ stars. No first names: we don't have them." Then edit it yourself. 5. **Send from a sending tool,** not ChatGPT, with your suppression list applied. Our [Instantly import guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-leads-to-instantly) has the column mappings. Keep files you upload limited to what the task needs, and check your workspace's data settings before uploading customer lists. ## Can I connect ChatGPT to a lead database?[#](#can-i-connect-chatgpt-to-a-lead-database) Through MCP connectors, yes for some tools, but not for Leadraft yet. ChatGPT can connect to remote MCP servers. OpenAI's developer docs list three authentication options for them: OAuth, no authentication, or a mix of the two. There's no option for an API key header. **Leadraft's MCP server isn't available in ChatGPT connectors yet.** It authenticates with an API key in the `Authorization` header, which ChatGPT's connector setup can't send. It works today in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code; see [lead generation with Claude](https://leadraft.co/blog/claude-lead-generation) for setup. What ChatGPT users can do instead: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Route | How it works | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | | CSV or XLSX export | Export a filtered list, upload it to ChatGPT | One-off analysis and copywriting | | Google Sheets feed | A private CSV link; `=IMPORTDATA("…")` in cell A1 keeps a sheet current | Lists that grow as searches run | | REST API | Your own script calls `POST /searches`, polls `GET /searches/{group}`, then pages `GET /leads` | Repeatable pipelines | For the API route, ask ChatGPT to write the script, then run it on your own machine or server with your API key kept out of the chat. Our [API quickstart](https://leadraft.co/docs/quickstart) has working cURL, JavaScript and Python for all three steps, and the [API reference](https://leadraft.co/docs/api) lists every filter, such as `grade=valid` and `min_rating`. Custom GPTs with Actions used to be a way to wire an API into ChatGPT. OpenAI has scheduled custom GPTs for retirement on December 11, 2026, so we wouldn't build a new workflow on them. ## When is ChatGPT enough on its own?[#](#when-is-chatgpt-enough-on-its-own) When the list is short and you'll check every row by hand. Examples: - Researching ten prospects before a call: what they sell, how many locations, recent news. - Finding the website and phone for five businesses a client named. - Turning a messy spreadsheet into clean columns. Once you need "every" anything, or you're about to send email, you need a data source and a verification step. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Can ChatGPT find leads?[#](#can-chatgpt-find-leads) For a handful of businesses, yes: with search on, it can look up companies, read their websites and cite sources. It can't produce a complete list of every business of a kind in an area, and it doesn't verify that an email address has a live mailbox. For real lists, get the data from a lead source and use ChatGPT to sort, segment and write. ### Can ChatGPT find email addresses?[#](#can-chatgpt-find-email-addresses) It can copy an address it finds on a web page during a search, and it may invent a plausible one if you ask without search. In both cases nothing has checked whether the mailbox exists. Run every address through an email verifier, or get emails from a tool that checks them, before you send. ### Does Leadraft's MCP server work in ChatGPT?[#](#does-leadrafts-mcp-server-work-in-chatgpt) Not yet. As of November 2026, ChatGPT's custom MCP connections offer OAuth or no authentication, and Leadraft's MCP server needs an API key in the Authorization header. ChatGPT users can use Leadraft's REST API, a CSV export or a Google Sheets feed. The MCP server works in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. ### Can ChatGPT agent scrape Google Maps?[#](#can-chatgpt-agent-scrape-google-maps) It can open Google Maps in its browser and read results, slowly, one screen at a time. A single Maps search stops after roughly 120 results, the agent can mis-copy details, it won't verify emails, and Google's Maps terms restrict scraping. It's fine for a few businesses and a poor way to build a list. ### What's the best way to use ChatGPT for lead generation?[#](#whats-the-best-way-to-use-chatgpt-for-lead-generation) Use it for the parts that are writing and thinking: defining your customer, choosing keywords, cleaning and segmenting a CSV you upload, and drafting cold emails. Get the list itself, with checked emails, from a data source, and verify before you send. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

URL: https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained Summary: A catch-all (accept-all) email is on a server that accepts every address, so it can't be verified. How to spot one, why it's common, and when to send. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Catch-all emails: what they are and whether you should send to them A catch-all (accept-all) email is on a server that accepts every address, so it can't be verified. How to spot one, why it's common, and when to send. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 21, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Deliverability A **catch-all email** (also called **accept-all**) is an address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for every address at that domain, real or not. Because the server says yes to `owner@`, `info@` and `qx7z9@` alike, an email verifier can't tell whether the mailbox you want actually exists. So a catch-all result isn't "valid" and it isn't "invalid": it's unconfirmed. Should you send to it? Only as a separate, smaller segment after your verified addresses, only for addresses the business published itself, and only after a test batch shows the bounces stay low. This page explains how verifiers detect catch-all domains, why so many small businesses have one, how common they are, a decision rule with a worked example, and how to test catch-all sends without hurting your sender reputation. ## What is a catch-all email address?[#](#what-is-a-catch-all-email-address) It's any address at a domain configured to accept mail for all recipients. The domain owner sets this up, on purpose or by default, so that mail to a misspelled or unknown address lands in one inbox instead of bouncing. For the owner, that's convenient. For a sender, it removes the one signal a verifier relies on: the server's "no such user" answer. Verifiers label the result in different ways, which causes confusion: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Label you'll see | What it means | How to treat it | | --- | --- | --- | | Catch-all, accept-all, accept all | The server accepted a made-up address, so it accepts everything | A maybe: separate segment, test first | | Risky (some verifiers) | Usually catch-all, sometimes other weak signals | Read the tool's definition; treat as a maybe | | Unknown | The check failed: timeout, greylisting, or the server refused to answer | Not a grade. Re-check later; don't send yet | | Valid, verified, deliverable | The server accepted this address and rejected a made-up one | Send | | Invalid, undeliverable | The server rejected this mailbox | Never send | Catch-all and accept-all are the same thing. "Unknown" is not: it means no answer at all, and a later re-check often turns it into a real grade. ## How does a verifier know a domain is catch-all?[#](#how-does-a-verifier-know-a-domain-is-catch-all) It asks the server about an address that can't exist. A verifier opens an SMTP conversation with the domain's mail server, names your address in a `RCPT TO` command and reads the reply: `250` means "I'll accept it", `550` means "no such user". Then it asks the same question about a long random string at the same domain. A normal server rejects the random one. A catch-all server accepts it too. On a normal server, real and made-up addresses get different answers. A catch-all server says 250 OK to both, which is why those addresses get an Accept-all grade instead of Verified. Once the server has said `250` to an address nobody could own, its `250` for your address carries no information. That's the whole problem, and no amount of re-checking fixes it. Our guide to [how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) walks through the full sequence (syntax, MX lookup, the SMTP check and its limits). If you want to test a single address yourself, see [how to check if an email is catch-all](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-check-if-email-is-catch-all). ## Why are so many small-business emails catch-all?[#](#why-are-so-many-small-business-emails-catch-all) Because catch-all is one of the simplest ways to make sure no customer email is lost, and the tools small businesses use make it easy to switch on. A few common routes: - **Google Workspace** has a routing setting for a catch-all address that receives misaddressed mail sent to the domain \[3\]. - **cPanel hosting**, used by many small-business web hosts, has a "Default Address" feature that sets a catch-all for mail sent to addresses that don't exist. The alternative is to reject that mail at SMTP time with an error \[4\]. - **"Don't miss a quote" setups.** A plumber doesn't want to lose a customer who typed `quotes@` instead of `quote@`, so everything goes to the owner's inbox. - **Filtering servers.** Some mail systems accept every recipient during the SMTP conversation and sort mail out afterwards, which also hides which mailboxes exist from people probing for them. Owner-run businesses often set up email once, through their web host or whoever built the site, and never touch it again. That's why catch-all domains show up so often in lists of local businesses, the kind you'd build from Google Maps. We haven't published a measured share for local-business domains, so we won't give you one; the next section has the published figures from verifiers. ## How common are catch-all emails?[#](#how-common-are-catch-all-emails) Common enough that every list will have some. Published figures vary because they measure different things: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Source | Figure | What it measures | | --- | --- | --- | | Hunter (November 2025) | 38% | Share of email domains configured as accept-all, in an analysis of 2,572 addresses \[1\] | | MailerCheck (July 2025) | 8.6% | Share of all addresses MailerCheck has verified that were catch-all \[2\] | | MailerCheck (July 2025) | 15.25% | Median catch-all share per list, across its customers' lists \[2\] | The spread is the point. A list of large companies on strict mail servers will have few catch-alls. A list of small businesses on shared hosting can have many. Measure your own list: the catch-all share after verification tells you how big your "maybe" segment is before you plan a campaign around it. ## What happens if you send to a catch-all address?[#](#what-happens-if-you-send-to-a-catch-all-address) One of three things, and you can't tell in advance which: 1. **It's delivered and read.** Often true for the address on the business's contact page, which is usually the owner's main inbox. 2. **It bounces later.** Some servers accept during the SMTP conversation, then send a bounce once they find no such user. These count against you like any other bounce. 3. **It disappears.** Mail to a non-existent address lands in an inbox nobody reads. No bounce, no reply. Abandoned domains that still accept everything can also be watched by anti-spam services as traps. How often the bad outcomes happen depends on how the addresses were found. In one published test, Hunter sent the same campaign to 100 accept-all addresses and 100 verified ones: the accept-all group bounced at 27%, the verified group at 1% \[1\]. That's one test of 200 sends, so read it as a warning, not a rate to plan on. For context, the sending tools you're likely to use act on bounces at low levels: Woodpecker's default auto-pause is 2%, and Instantly pauses a campaign above 5% once it has sent 200 emails \[5\]\[6\]. Gmail and Yahoo don't publish a bounce threshold, but they do publish a spam-rate limit of 0.3% and expect you to stop mailing addresses that bounce \[7\]\[8\]. Our [cold email bounce rate guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) has the full table. ## Should I send to catch-all emails? A decision rule[#](#should-i-send-to-catch-all-emails-a-decision-rule) Decide per address, not per domain, using where the address came from. The verifier can't help, but the source can. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Where the catch-all address came from | Decision | | --- | --- | | Published on the business's own website (contact page, footer), and it's the main inbox (`info@`, `office@`, the owner's name) | **Send**, in a separate segment after your verified addresses | | Published on the site, but in an odd place (an old blog post, a PDF, a staff page) | **Send last**, only if the test batch is clean | | Found only on a third-party site or an old list | **Hold.** Re-find it on the business's own site, or skip | | Built from a pattern (`firstname@`, `first.last@`) | **Skip.** It can't be checked at all on a catch-all domain | Then ask one market-level question: **do you need the maybes at all?** If your verified segment is big enough for the campaign, skip the catch-all segment and save the risk. Catch-all addresses are most worth it in small markets, where every business counts and skipping a large share of them hurts. ## A worked example (illustrative)[#](#a-worked-example-illustrative) Say you've found emails for 1,000 local businesses and verified them. These numbers are made up to show the arithmetic; plug in your own. - **650 Verified**, **250 Accept-all**, **100 Invalid** (dropped). - Of the 250 accept-all, **180** were published on the business's own site and **70** were pattern guesses. Apply the rule: drop the 70 guesses. Your maybe segment is 180. Now compare two ways to send, assuming (for illustration) a 1% bounce rate on verified addresses and 8% on the published catch-alls: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Approach | Sends | Expected bounces | Bounce rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Everything in one campaign (650 + 180) | 830 | 6.5 + 14.4 ≈ 21 | **2.5%**: over Woodpecker's default pause, and dragging the good segment with it | | Verified campaign alone | 650 | 6.5 | **1.0%** | | Catch-all test batch of 50, sent after | 50 | 4 | **8%**: stop here, before the other 130 go out | Kept separate, the verified campaign stays healthy and the catch-all problem shows up in a batch of 50, where it costs four bounces instead of fourteen. If the test batch had come back at 0 or 1 bounce, you'd send the remaining 130 in small batches. ## How do I test catch-all sends safely?[#](#how-do-i-test-catch-all-sends-safely) Treat the catch-all segment as an experiment with a stop rule decided in advance. 1. **Send your verified segment first** and make sure it's healthy: bounces under 2%, no spam complaints. 2. **Pick a test batch of 50 to 100** catch-all addresses, published ones only, as its own campaign so its numbers are separate. 3. **Set the stop rule before you send.** For example: at 50 sends, 0 to 1 bounce (2% or less) means continue; 2 to 3 means keep only main-inbox addresses from contact pages; 4 or more means stop the segment. 4. **Wait two to three days** before judging. Late bounces from catch-all servers arrive after the send, not during it. 5. **Read the replies too.** A batch with no bounces and no replies may be landing in unread inboxes. That's cheaper than bounces, but it's not a reason to scale. 6. **Add every bounce to your suppression list** at once, so no future campaign or client sends to it again. 7. **Scale in batches, not all at once,** and keep watching the segment's own bounce rate, not your account average. Our [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers the rest of the setup: authentication, warm-up and suppression. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is a catch-all email?[#](#what-is-a-catch-all-email) A catch-all email is an address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for every address at that domain, whether or not a mailbox by that name exists. Because the server says yes to everything, an email verifier cannot confirm that the specific mailbox is real. ### Is accept-all the same as catch-all?[#](#is-accept-all-the-same-as-catch-all) Yes. Catch-all and accept-all describe the same server behavior: it accepts every recipient during the SMTP check. Some verifiers call the result risky or accept-all. Unknown is different: it means the check itself failed, for example because the server timed out or refused to answer. ### Should I send to catch-all emails?[#](#should-i-send-to-catch-all-emails) Sometimes. Send to catch-all addresses only as a separate, smaller segment after your verified addresses, prefer addresses the business published on its own website, skip pattern guesses, and start with a test batch of 50 to 100. If the batch bounces above about 2%, stop or tighten the rule. ### Do catch-all emails bounce?[#](#do-catch-all-emails-bounce) Some do. A catch-all server can accept a message during the SMTP conversation and send a bounce afterwards, or deliver it to an inbox nobody reads. In one published test by Hunter, 100 accept-all addresses bounced at 27% against 1% for 100 verified ones. Your rate depends on how the addresses were found. ### How common are catch-all emails?[#](#how-common-are-catch-all-emails-1) Common enough to matter. Hunter reports that 38% of email domains in a sample of 2,572 addresses were accept-all. MailerCheck reports that 8.6% of all addresses it has verified were catch-all, and that the median list had 15.25%. The numbers measure different things, so treat them as ranges, not a benchmark. ### Can any tool verify a catch-all email for certain?[#](#can-any-tool-verify-a-catch-all-email-for-certain) No. When a server accepts every address, the SMTP check carries no information about one mailbox. Some verifiers add extra signals and score the address, but none can confirm it the way a normal server's reply does. Treat a catch-all result as a maybe, never a yes. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

On its own, Claude can't list every plumber in a city or tell you whether an email address has a live mailbox. Connected to a tool like Leadraft, it can, from Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor, with one config step.

If you want the general picture of MCP across assistants, read [finding leads from AI assistants with MCP](https://leadraft.co/blog/ai-agent-lead-generation-mcp). This page is the Claude-specific version. ## What can Claude do for lead generation without any tools?[#](#what-can-claude-do-for-lead-generation-without-any-tools) Claude without tools works from what it learned in training, so it can explain, plan and write, but it can't give you current, complete business data. That makes it good at the work around a list and poor at producing the list. Good uses without any connection: - Turning an offer into an ideal customer profile and a keyword list ("plumber", "drain cleaning", "water heater repair"). - Writing and critiquing cold email sequences. - Cleaning, splitting and summarizing a CSV you upload. Don't ask it for contact details from memory. Language models are trained in ways that reward a confident guess over "I don't know", as OpenAI researchers argued in a September 2025 paper, and a small business's email address is exactly the kind of rare, specific fact a model will guess. A guessed address that looks right is worse than none: it bounces. ## What can Claude's web search do, and where does it stop?[#](#what-can-claudes-web-search-do-and-where-does-it-stop) With web search on, Claude searches the live web, reads several sources and answers with citations, and it can fetch a specific URL you give it. Anthropic's help center says every search-backed response includes citations, and that web search and fetch count toward your usage limits. That's useful for research on a short list: "Find five independent bike shops in Portland, OR, open each website, and tell me which list an email address." It stops being useful when you want a whole market: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Task | Web search alone | Connected to a lead tool over MCP | | --- | --- | --- | | Research 5 named businesses | Good: reads their sites, cites sources | Also fine | | Every dentist in a county | Returns a sample of what the search engine surfaces | Runs a full search of the area and returns rows | | Emails | Copies what's on the page, unchecked | Emails from each business's own site, graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid | | Repeat next month | Starts over | Searches saved; each business charged once | | Output | Prose and links | Structured fields: name, category, phone, website, rating, reviews, address | Google Maps itself has a limit too: a single Maps search stops after roughly 120 results, so even a browsing agent scrolling Maps sees a fraction of a big city. Our guide to [the 120-result limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) explains why and how full lists get built. ## Which Claude apps can connect to Leadraft's MCP server?[#](#which-claude-apps-can-connect-to-leadrafts-mcp-server) Any Claude client that can reach a remote MCP server over streamable HTTP and send an API key in the `Authorization` header. As of November 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Claude app | Status | How | | --- | --- | --- | | Claude Code | Works | `claude mcp add --transport http` with a `--header` | | Claude Desktop | Works | Config file entry bridged through `mcp-remote` (needs Node.js) | | claude.ai custom connector | Not verified | API keys need the Request headers section, which Anthropic lists as a beta for a limited set of organizations | | Cursor, VS Code | Work | `mcp.json` with a `headers` block | On claude.ai: Anthropic's docs say that if a server uses an API key, you choose "No sign-in" and add the key under Request headers, entering the full value including `Bearer` . They also say that section is in beta, and if you don't see it, your organization doesn't have access yet. We haven't tested Leadraft through it, so use Claude Code or Claude Desktop for now. ## How do I set up Leadraft in Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor?[#](#how-do-i-set-up-leadraft-in-claude-code-claude-desktop-or-cursor) Create an API key, add one config entry, and ask. The server details, from our [MCP docs](https://leadraft.co/docs/mcp): - **URL:** `https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/` - **Transport:** streamable HTTP (stateless, JSON responses) - **Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key`, the same keys as the [REST API](https://leadraft.co/docs/api), created under Settings, then API keys **Claude Code**, one command: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http leadraft https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/ \ --header "Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key" ``` By default Claude Code stores this for the current project only. Add `--scope user` to use it in all your projects, or `--scope project` to share it with your team through `.mcp.json` (don't commit a real key). Run `/mcp` inside Claude Code and check the server shows as connected. **Claude Desktop**, in `claude_desktop_config.json`, bridged through `mcp-remote`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "leadraft": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key"] } } } ``` **Cursor**, in `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (or `.cursor/mcp.json` in a project): ```json { "mcpServers": { "leadraft": { "url": "https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lg_your_key" } } } } ``` Restart Claude Desktop after editing its config file. The VS Code snippet is in the [MCP server docs](https://leadraft.co/docs/mcp). ## What tools does Claude get, and what does each cost?[#](#what-tools-does-claude-get-and-what-does-each-cost) Six tools. Claude picks which to call from your request. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | What it does | Spends credits? | | --- | --- | --- | | `start_search` | Starts "keyword in location" searches, like "plumber in Austin, TX". Options: `email_required` (default true) and `region` (two-letter country code) | Business credits, as businesses are found. Needs a write key | | `search_status` | Running, finishing, paused or completed; searches done of the total; businesses and emails so far | No | | `find_leads` | Businesses your searches found, newest first, with the best sendable email. Filters: search group, keyword, text, category, city, state, country, has email, grades, minimum rating. Default 50, up to 200 per call, paged with a cursor | A checked-email credit the first time a Verified email is read | | `get_lead` | One business: address, phone, website, hours, every email with grade and source | Same as `find_leads` | | `list_searches` | Your last 100 searches with status and counts | No | | `credits` | Plan, this period's allowance, what's left | No | One limit: `start_search` uses the default scope, which counts everything the search returns. To count only businesses inside a place, or inside it plus a ring, start the search in the app or with `POST /searches` and `"scope": "in"` through the API, then let Claude read the results. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What prompts work best for lead generation in Claude?[#](#what-prompts-work-best-for-lead-generation-in-claude) Specific ones: a trade, a place, a filter and an output. Chain steps in one message and Claude will call several tools in order. Building the list: - "Check my credits. Then find roofers in Denver, CO and Aurora, CO with verified emails. Tell me how many search lines you'll start before you start." - "Is my roofers search done? How many businesses, and how many with an email?" - "From that search, list the Verified leads with a rating of 4.5 or higher as a table: business, city, rating, reviews, email, website." Working the list: - "Group the Verified leads by Maps category and write one opening line per group that mentions the city and review count. No first names: we don't have them." - "Compare my dentist searches in Tempe and Mesa: businesses found, share with a Verified email, average rating." - "Get the full record for the ten highest-rated leads and flag any where the only email is Accept-all." Ask Claude to show its numbers from the tool output rather than restate them from memory, and spot-check a few rows in the app before you send anything. ## How do I use Claude Code for lead generation beyond chat?[#](#how-do-i-use-claude-code-for-lead-generation-beyond-chat) Claude Code can do what a chat can't: write and run scripts, and save files. That makes it a good place to build repeatable lead workflows on top of the API. 1. **Batch searches from a file.** "Read `cities.txt` and start one search per line for 'HVAC contractor in ``'. Stop and ask if it's more than 25 lines." 2. **Export to CSV.** "Page through `find_leads` for search group `g_…` with grades valid, and write `austin-dentists.csv` with business, email, phone, website, city, rating." 3. **Scripted pipelines.** Ask it to write a small Python or Node script against the REST API: `POST /searches`, poll `GET /searches/{group}` every 10 to 30 seconds until `status` is `completed`, then page `GET /leads?search_group=…&grade=valid&limit=500`. Our [API quickstart](https://leadraft.co/docs/quickstart) has the same three steps in cURL, JavaScript and Python. 4. **A skill for your process.** Claude Code skills are `SKILL.md` files in `~/.claude/skills//` (personal) or `.claude/skills//` (project). A skill can hold your house rules: check credits first, Verified only, never more than N search lines without asking, output columns in this order. A minimal skill file: ```markdown --- name: local-leads description: Build local business lead lists with the Leadraft MCP tools. Use when asked for businesses in a place. --- 1. Call credits first and report what's left. 2. Say how many search lines you will start, and wait for a yes. 3. After the search completes, return Verified leads only unless told otherwise. 4. Output a CSV with: business, category, city, state, email, phone, website, rating, reviews. ``` Claude Code can also write you a Google Maps scraper if you ask. Think twice: Google's Maps terms restrict scraping, a scraper inherits the 120-result limit unless it tiles the area, and it won't check mailboxes. Our page on [whether scraping Google Maps is legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) covers the terms in plain words. ## What guardrails should I set before Claude touches lead data?[#](#what-guardrails-should-i-set-before-claude-touches-lead-data) The same discipline as giving a new hire a company card. Set these once. - [ ] **Use a read-only key for read-only work.** A read-only key can call every tool except `start_search`. Summaries, tables and copywriting need nothing more. - [ ] **Credits check first.** Put "call credits and confirm the number of search lines before starting" in your prompt or skill. - [ ] **Keep tool approvals on** for `start_search`. Claude's apps ask before calling tools unless you choose to always allow; for a server that spends money, don't. - [ ] **Know the meter.** Searches use business credits as businesses are found, and each business is charged once, ever. Reading a Verified email uses a checked-email credit the first time. Tool calls share the key's limit of 120 requests a minute. - [ ] **One key per assistant**, so you can revoke one in Settings without breaking the others. - [ ] **Check before sending.** Claude can still misread or misstate a number from tool output. Spot-check rows, and keep your [do-not-contact list](https://leadraft.co/product/integrations) applied on export. Sending rules don't change because an assistant built the list. In the US, CAN-SPAM still requires a working opt-out and a physical address in every commercial email. See our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) for CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL and PECR. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Can Claude find leads on its own?[#](#can-claude-find-leads-on-its-own) Partly. With web search on, Claude can look up businesses, open their websites and cite what it read, which is fine for a handful of prospects. It can't list every business of a kind in an area, and it doesn't check whether an email address has a live mailbox. For lists, connect Claude to a lead data source over MCP. ### How do I connect Leadraft to Claude Code?[#](#how-do-i-connect-leadraft-to-claude-code) Create an API key in Leadraft (Settings, API keys), then run `claude mcp add --transport http leadraft https://app.leadraft.co/api/mcp/ --header "Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key"`. Run `/mcp` inside Claude Code to check the server shows as connected. Add `--scope user` to use it in every project. ### Does Leadraft work as a custom connector on claude.ai?[#](#does-leadraft-work-as-a-custom-connector-on-claudeai) We haven't verified it. Leadraft's MCP server authenticates with an API key in the Authorization header. As of November 2026, Claude's custom connector dialog supports API keys through a Request headers section that Anthropic describes as a beta for a limited set of organizations. Claude Code, Claude Desktop (through mcp-remote), Cursor and VS Code work today. ### How do I stop Claude from spending all my credits?[#](#how-do-i-stop-claude-from-spending-all-my-credits) Give Claude a read-only API key if it only needs to read and summarize leads: it can't start searches with one. With a write key, tell it to call the credits tool first and to confirm the number of search lines before it starts anything, and keep tool approval prompts on. ### Can Claude Code scrape Google Maps for me?[#](#can-claude-code-scrape-google-maps-for-me) It can write a scraper, but Google's Maps terms restrict scraping, a single Maps search stops after roughly 120 results, and the script won't verify emails. Using Claude Code to call a lead tool's API or MCP server gets you structured, deduped rows with graded emails instead. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Guide Clay can pull businesses from Google Maps with its built-in Google Maps source: you pick a business type, a location and a radius, and each business lands in a table as a row with its name, address, phone, website, category, rating and Place ID. Clay's own guide says the source returns up to 1,000 results by default and doesn't include emails or owner names, so you enrich those separately, and rows without a website have nothing to enrich from. Teams that need every business in an area, or checked emails before enrichment spend, often build the list outside Clay and import it as a CSV or through a webhook table. Both routes are below, as of November 2026. ## What does Clay's Google Maps source actually do?[#](#what-does-clays-google-maps-source-actually-do) It runs a Google Maps search from inside a Clay table and writes one row per business. According to Clay's guide on scraping Google Maps for leads, you add a Google Maps source to a table, choose a location (a city, a neighborhood or an exact address, adjustable on the map) and a radius, and pick a business type. Clay recommends choosing the business type from Google's own category list rather than typing free text. Its example: picking "Dentists" from Google's categories returns cleaner results than a typed keyword. What each row contains, per the same guide: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Field | Comes from the source | Notes from Clay's guide | | --- | --- | --- | | Business name | Yes | | | Full address | Yes | | | Phone number | Yes | | | Website | Yes | Often has tracking parameters, or is an Instagram, Facebook or Linktree page | | Primary category | Yes | | | Star rating, review count | Yes | Reviews themselves are fetched separately by Place ID | | Google Place ID | Yes, but hidden | Add it as a column yourself; it's the stable ID for deduplication | | Owner name, email | No | Google Maps doesn't provide them; add enrichment columns | Clay describes the output as structured but not clean. That's a fair summary of any Maps pull: the website column needs cleaning before an email finder can use it. ## What are the limits of Clay's Google Maps source?[#](#what-are-the-limits-of-clays-google-maps-source) There are four limits worth planning around: a default result ceiling, no emails, no enrichment for businesses without a website, and table size. 1. **Result ceiling.** Clay's guide says the integration "returns up to 1,000 results and keeps loading", and Clay University's lesson calls 1,000 the default max limit. The first count you see can be well below the final total, so wait for loading to finish before judging coverage. 2. **No emails or owners.** Maps listings don't carry them. Every email in a Clay Maps table comes from a later enrichment step, which spends credits. 3. **Businesses without a website.** Clay's claybook for turning Google Maps listings into a target account list says it plainly: "Not all Google Maps businesses have a website, in which case the enrichment won't run for these specific rows." Domain-based email finding has nothing to start from. 4. **Rows per table.** Clay's pricing page lists 200 rows per table on the Free plan and 50,000 on Launch, as of November 2026. A 1,000-business pull doesn't fit in a Free table at all. Clay's community forum has several threads from users asking how to get more local businesses than one source run returns. The usual answer is to run more sources with different locations or keywords into the same table. That works, but you then own the deduplication: the same dentist shows up in overlapping radius searches. Dedupe on Place ID, not on name or phone. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) The same problem exists on Google Maps itself, where one search shows only about 120 places. Our [guide to the Google Maps 120-results limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) explains why, and how splitting an area into smaller searches recovers the businesses one search misses. ## Why do people source Google Maps leads outside Clay?[#](#why-do-people-source-google-maps-leads-outside-clay) Mostly because Clay is an orchestration layer, and the list itself is the expensive, fiddly part. Clay is very good at what happens after you have rows: waterfalls across enrichment providers, AI research columns, scoring, routing to a sequencer or CRM. Getting every business in a territory, once, with a usable email, is a separate job. Even Clay's own claybook for local lists doesn't use the native source. Its template pulls listings with Serper.dev, a Google search API (the claybook notes Serper's first 2,500 queries are free), then uses Claygent to find owners from each website and a waterfall to find work emails. Reasons teams bring the list in from elsewhere: - **Completeness.** A whole metro or county, searched in smaller pieces and deduplicated, instead of one capped pull per run. - **Area and trade precision.** Only businesses inside the territory you sell into and in the trade you searched for, so you don't spend enrichment on a row that should never have been there. - **Emails before enrichment spend.** Many local businesses publish an email address on their own site: in our measurements about 54% of business websites give one up (found, before verification). Finding and verifying those first means Clay only enriches the rows that still need work. - **Cost predictability.** Clay charges Actions for platform work and Data Credits for marketplace data. A list that arrives already deduplicated and filtered uses fewer of both. Our [breakdown of what Clay costs for a local list](https://leadraft.co/blog/clay-pricing-local-business-leads) runs the numbers. Leadraft is built for that first job: the complete, deduplicated list of businesses in an area, with emails found on each business's own website and checked before anything reaches Clay. It doesn't do Clay's job of waterfalls, AI research columns and routing, so the two sit side by side. ## How do I import a Google Maps lead list into Clay with a CSV?[#](#how-do-i-import-a-google-maps-lead-list-into-clay-with-a-csv) Upload the file as a new table or into an existing one, map the columns, then decide whether enrichments run on import. Clay's CSV import docs give these steps: 1. **Open the source panel.** For a new table, go to your workspace home, click **\+ Create new** and search for "CSV". For an existing table, open it, click **Tools**, then **Import**. 2. **Upload the file** with Browse files or drag and drop. 3. **Choose a destination:** Add to current table, Create new table, or Replace current table. 4. **Map the columns** to the table's fields. 5. **Choose whether to run enrichments:** "Save and run rows in this CSV" runs them now; "Save and don't run" imports without spending anything on enrichment. Pick "Save and don't run" the first time. Filter and dedupe in the table, then run enrichment on the rows that need it. Before you upload: - [ ] **Comma-separated, UTF-8.** A file saved with semicolons as separators imports into the wrong columns; re-export it as a standard CSV. - [ ] **Keep the Place ID column.** It's the dedupe key if you import more files later. - [ ] **Keep the email grade.** It lets you skip email enrichment on rows that already have a verified address. - [ ] **Check the row cap.** 200 rows per table on Free, 50,000 on Launch, per Clay's pricing page as of November 2026. Split big lists by city or category. A useful mapping from a Leadraft CSV (Full layout) to Clay columns: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Leadraft CSV column | Clay column | Use in Clay | | --- | --- | --- | | `business` | Company name | Input to company lookups and AI columns | | `website` | Website / domain | Input to email and people enrichment | | `email`, `email_grade` | Email, Email grade | Filter: only enrich rows where the grade isn't `valid` | | `email_2` … `email_5` | Extra emails | Fallback addresses at the same business | | `phone` | Phone | | | `category`, `rating`, `reviews` | Category, Rating, Reviews | Scoring and personalization | | `city`, `state`, `postal_code` | Location columns | Routing by territory | | `google_place_id` | Place ID | Dedupe key | | `maps_url` | Maps URL | Context for Claygent prompts | | `facebook`, `instagram`, `linkedin` | Social URLs | Inputs where a business has no website | ## Can I send leads to Clay automatically instead of uploading files?[#](#can-i-send-leads-to-clay-automatically-instead-of-uploading-files) Yes, with a Clay webhook table, as long as each lead arrives as its own request. Clay's webhook docs: in a workbook, click **\+ Add**, search for "Webhooks" and choose **Monitor webhook**, then copy the URL into the app that will send data. Clay receives HTTP POST requests in JSON. You can add an authentication token that goes in the request header; Clay shows it once. Two Clay rules to plan around, from the same page: - A webhook source accepts **50,000 submissions**, and deleting rows doesn't reset the count. After that you create a new webhook, unless you're on Enterprise with auto-delete (passthrough) tables. - Rows that arrive by webhook still count toward the table's row limit for your plan. Leadraft has no native Clay connector, so the automatic route goes through a tool in the middle: Scroll horizontally if needed → | From Leadraft | Through | To Clay | | --- | --- | --- | | Webhook export or monitor (batches of 200 leads in a `leads` array, signed with HMAC-SHA256) | Zapier, Make or n8n: catch the hook, split the array, one HTTP POST per lead | Clay webhook URL | | JSON feed (`.json`, up to 5,000 rows, polled) | Zapier, Make or n8n on a schedule, split `leads`, one POST per new lead | Clay webhook URL | | REST API (`GET /api/v1/leads`, keyset-paged) | Your own script or an automation tool | Clay webhook URL | | CSV export | You | Clay CSV import | Clay's webhook docs don't say how a JSON array in one request is handled, so split batches before they reach Clay. In n8n that's a Split Out node, in Make an Iterator, in Zapier the Looping step. Leadraft's [webhook docs](https://leadraft.co/docs/webhooks) note that a batch can arrive twice on retry, so check Place ID in Clay before running paid enrichment on a new row. A monitor makes this a standing pipeline: it repeats a search on a schedule and sends only businesses that weren't there before. New businesses in your territory reach Clay without anyone exporting a file. ## How does Leadraft fit into a Clay workflow?[#](#how-does-leadraft-fit-into-a-clay-workflow) Leadraft builds the list; Clay works on it after import. The table below shows what Leadraft does at each step, and where the work belongs to Clay. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Situation | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | A whole metro, county or state, deduplicated | Searches the area in smaller pieces and returns one row per business, keyed by Place ID | | Only businesses inside your sales territory | Draw the area or name it; businesses outside it are labeled and never charged | | You want emails checked before enrichment spend | Finds emails on each business's own website and grades every one Verified, Accept-all or Invalid | | New businesses in a territory every week | A monitor repeats the search and sends only new businesses to a Clay webhook table | | AI research, scoring and waterfalls on each row | Not what Leadraft does; that's the work you import the list into Clay for | | No Clay account, just a sendable list | Exports straight to your sequencer or a CSV | If the end goal is a cold email campaign and you don't need Claygent research, Clay may be a step you don't need. Leads can go [straight into Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-leads-to-instantly) with the email grade attached. On the legal side: Google's Maps terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, whichever tool runs the search. Business listings are public business data, but a named person's email is personal data in many places, and cold email has its own rules. Our [guide to whether scraping Google Maps is legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) covers the distinctions; for anything beyond that, get legal advice for your market. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Can Clay scrape Google Maps?[#](#can-clay-scrape-google-maps) Clay has a Google Maps source you add to a table: you pick a business type from Google's category list, set a location and radius, and each business comes back as a row with name, address, phone, website, category, rating, review count and Place ID. Clay's own guide says it returns up to 1,000 results by default. ### Does Clay's Google Maps source give you emails?[#](#does-clays-google-maps-source-give-you-emails) No. Clay's guide says Google Maps doesn't provide owner names or email addresses, so you add enrichment columns to find them, usually from the business's website domain. Rows without a website have nothing to enrich from. ### How many results does Clay's Google Maps source return?[#](#how-many-results-does-clays-google-maps-source-return) Up to 1,000 results by default, according to Clay's guide and Clay University, and the count keeps growing while it loads. For a big metro and a broad category, run several searches with smaller locations and dedupe on Place ID. ### How do I import a Google Maps lead list into Clay?[#](#how-do-i-import-a-google-maps-lead-list-into-clay) Upload a CSV: from your workspace click + Create new and search for CSV, or open a table, click Tools, then Import. Map the columns, then choose whether to run enrichments now or save without running. For a continuous flow, send rows to a Clay webhook table instead. ### Is there a native Leadraft integration for Clay?[#](#is-there-a-native-leadraft-integration-for-clay) No. Leadraft has no Clay connector. You bring Leadraft leads into Clay with a CSV export, or by sending a Leadraft webhook or JSON feed through Zapier, Make or n8n to a Clay webhook, one lead per request. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Clay pricing for local business leads: what a 1,000-business list really costs Clay's plans, Actions and Data Credits as of November 2026, a worked cost for a 1,000-business local list, what Clay doesn't publish, and cheaper routes. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Comparison As of November 2026, Clay costs $0 on Free, from $185 a month on Launch and from $495 a month on Growth when billed monthly ($167 and $446 a month billed annually), and each paid price is an Actions tier plus a Data Credits tier. For a 1,000-business local list with emails, Launch's included 2,500 Data Credits cover it if email finding averages up to 2.5 credits per business; above that you top up at a 30% premium. Clay doesn't publish per-enrichment credit costs, so the worked example below shows the range rather than one number, plus three cheaper routes. ## What are Clay's plans and prices in November 2026?[#](#what-are-clays-plans-and-prices-in-november-2026) Clay sells two meters: **Actions** for platform work and **Data Credits** for marketplace data. Every paid plan is a choice of Actions tier plus a choice of Data Credits tier. These are the entry points on Clay's pricing page: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually | Actions included | Data Credits included | Rows per table | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | $0 | 500 / month | 100 / month | 200 | | Launch | $185 / month ($60 + $125) | $167 / month ($54 + $113) | 15,000 / month | 2,500 / month | 50,000 | | Growth | $495 / month ($205 + $290) | $446 / month ($185 + $261) | 40,000 / month | 6,000 / month | Not stated | | Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Not stated | The headline numbers on the page are the annual ones ($167 and $446); the FAQ quotes the monthly ones ($185 and $495). Adding the cheapest Actions tier and the cheapest Data Credits tier gives exactly those totals, which is how the table above reads them. What changes by plan, for local list building: - **Free:** multi-provider waterfalls, Claygent, bring-your-own API keys, 200 rows per table. No phone number enrichment. - **Launch:** adds phone enrichment, scheduled runs, email sending and 50,000 rows per table. - **Growth:** adds CRM auto-sync, HTTP API integrations and webhook signals. ## How do Clay's Actions and Data Credits work?[#](#how-do-clays-actions-and-data-credits-work) Actions measure what you do in Clay; Data Credits buy data from providers in Clay's marketplace. The rules that matter for cost, from Clay's pricing page and FAQ: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Rule | What Clay says | | --- | --- | | What an Action pays for | Enriching data, running a table, calling an AI model, exporting data out of Clay | | What a Data Credit pays for | Data from marketplace vendors: emails, phone numbers, company data, AI | | Price per Data Credit | Starts at $0.05 (2,500 for $125 on Launch); $0.0425 at the 50,000 tier ($2,125) | | Price per Action | Under a cent; $60 for 15,000 is $0.004 each | | Empty results | Not charged Data Credits or Actions | | Your own API key | One Action per run, no Data Credit | | Top-ups | Launch and Growth can buy more at a 30% premium | | Rollover | Actions reset each cycle. Data Credits on Launch and Growth bank up to 2× the monthly amount per the FAQ (the plan table says "up to 1 month's credits"). None on Free | | AI models | About 80% cost a flat number of Data Credits per task; token-heavy models bill by tokens | What Clay doesn't publish on that page: how many Data Credits each enrichment costs, how many Actions a given column uses, and whether the Google Maps source itself costs credits. Costs vary by provider, and Clay shows them on the column before you run it. Check there, run ten rows, and multiply. ## What does a 1,000-business local list cost in Clay?[#](#what-does-a-1000-business-local-list-cost-in-clay) Somewhere between the Launch base price and roughly double it, depending on how many Data Credits your email step uses per business. Here's the arithmetic for a common job: 1,000 HVAC companies in one metro, each with a sendable email, on Launch billed monthly. **Fixed part:** Launch at $185 a month includes 15,000 Actions and 2,500 Data Credits, and a 50,000-row table holds the list. Free doesn't work here: its tables stop at 200 rows. **Actions:** Clay doesn't publish Actions per row. Even at 10 Actions per business across source, cleanup, enrichment and export, 1,000 businesses use 10,000 of the 15,000 included. **Data Credits:** this is the variable. The table assumes every business is enriched; in practice rows without a website don't run, and empty results aren't charged, so real use is lower. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Data Credits per business (your provider mix) | Credits needed | Over the 2,500 included | Top-up at $0.065 (base $0.05 + 30%) | Month total | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 1,000 | 0 | $0 | $185.00 | | 2.5 | 2,500 | 0 | $0 | $185.00 | | 3 | 3,000 | 500 | $32.50 | $217.50 | | 5 | 5,000 | 2,500 | $162.50 | $347.50 | | 8 | 8,000 | 5,500 | $357.50 | $542.50 | At 5 credits per business, moving to the 6,000-credit tier ($290 instead of $125, so $350 a month) costs about the same as topping up. At 8, the 10,000-credit tier ($460, so $520 a month) is cheaper than top-ups. Both assume the 30% premium applies to the $0.05 base rate, which Clay's page doesn't spell out. **Per business:** $185 to $542.50 for 1,000 businesses is $0.19 to $0.54 each, before verification. If your Clay workflow doesn't include a verifier step, you'll also pay a verifier before sending; our [guide to how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) explains what that step checks. Two things push the real number down: Data Credits bank on paid plans, so a lighter month carries forward, and rows that return nothing are free. Two push it up: Claygent research per row, and re-running a table after editing a column. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What drives Clay's cost up on local lists?[#](#what-drives-clays-cost-up-on-local-lists) Enriching rows that should never have been in the table. Local lists have three kinds of waste, and each one spends Actions or Data Credits: 1. **Duplicates.** Overlapping radius searches return the same business several times. Dedupe on Google Place ID before any enrichment column runs. 2. **Out-of-area and wrong-trade rows.** A Maps search for "plumber" in a city also returns businesses just outside it and adjacent trades. Filter on city or ZIP and category first. 3. **Rows with no website, or a social page as the website.** Clay's own guide warns that many "website" values are Instagram, Facebook or Linktree pages, and its claybook notes enrichment won't run where there's no website. Filter those out before domain-based email finding. A cheap habit: import with "Save and don't run", filter, then run enrichment on the remaining rows only. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## What are cheaper ways to build a local business list?[#](#what-are-cheaper-ways-to-build-a-local-business-list) There are three, and the right one depends on whether you need Clay for anything after the list exists. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Route | What you pay for | Suits a team that | | --- | --- | --- | | Clay with your own API keys | One Action per run, no Data Credits; plus the providers you bring | Is already on a Clay plan and has provider accounts | | Build the list in Leadraft, import only rows that need enrichment | Leadraft, then Clay Data Credits only on the gaps | Uses Clay for research, scoring or CRM sync | | Build the list in Leadraft and send it straight to your sequencer | Leadraft, with emails and verification included | Wants a cold email campaign, nothing more | **Bring your own keys.** Clay's FAQ says a run on your own API key counts as one Action and uses no Data Credits. Clay's local-lead claybook uses Serper.dev for listings and notes Serper's first 2,500 queries are free. You trade Clay's billing for each provider's, and you manage the keys. **Import a finished list.** If the list arrives deduplicated, inside your territory and with verified emails attached, Clay only enriches what's missing: owners, extra research, scoring. Our [Clay and Google Maps guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/clay-google-maps-leads) covers the CSV and webhook imports step by step. **Skip Clay.** Clay is an orchestration tool, and it earns its price when you use the orchestration. If you only need a sendable list, a Google Maps lead tool that finds and verifies emails can [push straight to Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-leads-to-instantly). For the same 1,000 HVAC companies in Leadraft: 1,000 business credits, plus one checked-email credit for each Verified email you take out. Accept-all and Invalid grades don't use checked-email credits. Starter is $19 a month with 25,000 business credits and 1,000 checked-email credits, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. The caveat is in the yield: in our measurements about 54% of business websites give up an email (found, before verification), so expect fewer than 1,000 Verified addresses from 1,000 businesses, whichever tool you use. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing) for every plan. ## Where does Leadraft fit for local leads?[#](#where-does-leadraft-fit-for-local-leads) Leadraft is built for the list itself: every business of a trade inside the area you choose, one row per business, with emails from each business's own website checked against the live mail server. It doesn't do AI research columns, multi-provider waterfalls or CRM routing; that's orchestration work, and if your team does it, you import the finished list into Clay and enrich only the gaps. For the job this page prices, the difference is concrete: Scroll horizontally if needed → | 1,000 HVAC companies in one metro, with checked emails | Clay (Launch, billed monthly) | Leadraft (Starter) | | --- | --- | --- | | Monthly price | $185 to $542.50, depending on Data Credits per business | $19 | | List size | Up to 50,000 rows per table; Actions and Data Credits as used | 25,000 business credits a month | | Email checking | A separate verifier step if your workflow doesn't include one | Included: 1,000 checked-email credits, Accept-all and Invalid grades free | | Duplicates and out-of-area rows | Filter them yourself before enrichment | One charge per unique business, once; rows outside your area aren't charged | If the goal is one city's businesses with checked emails in a sending tool this week, build the list in Leadraft and push it to your sequencer. If Clay is part of your stack for other work, Leadraft is still where the list comes from, and Clay starts from clean rows. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How much does Clay cost?[#](#how-much-does-clay-cost) As of November 2026, Clay's pricing page lists Free at $0, Launch from $185 a month billed monthly ($167 a month billed annually) and Growth from $495 a month billed monthly ($446 a month billed annually), with Enterprise on custom pricing. Each paid price is an Actions tier plus a Data Credits tier, and both can be scaled up. ### What is the difference between Clay Actions and Data Credits?[#](#what-is-the-difference-between-clay-actions-and-data-credits) Actions pay for platform work: running tables, calling AI models, enriching and exporting. Data Credits pay for data bought from Clay's marketplace, such as emails, phone numbers and company data. If you bring your own API key, a run counts as one Action and uses no Data Credits. ### How many credits does an email lookup cost in Clay?[#](#how-many-credits-does-an-email-lookup-cost-in-clay) Clay's pricing page doesn't publish a per-enrichment table, and costs vary by provider, so check the cost Clay shows on the enrichment column before you run it. Clay does say lookups that return no result aren't charged Data Credits or Actions. ### Can I build a local lead list on Clay's free plan?[#](#can-i-build-a-local-lead-list-on-clays-free-plan) Only a small one. The Free plan includes 500 Actions and 100 Data Credits a month and up to 200 rows per table, as of November 2026. That's enough to test a workflow on one neighborhood, not to build a city-wide list. ### Do Clay credits roll over?[#](#do-clay-credits-roll-over) Actions reset every billing cycle. On Launch and Growth, Clay's FAQ says unused Data Credits can bank up to twice the monthly amount, though the plan table on the same page words the cap differently. Free has no rollover. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

Thresholds and Fixes URL: https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate Summary: Aim for a cold email bounce rate under 2%. What Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook and sending tools actually publish, what causes bounces, and how to fix a high rate. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # What's a good cold email bounce rate? (And how to get yours under it) Aim for a cold email bounce rate under 2%. What Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook and sending tools actually publish, what causes bounces, and how to fix a high rate. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Deliverability A good cold email bounce rate is **under 2%**, and under 1% is better. Mailbox providers like Gmail and Yahoo don't publish a bounce-rate limit, but sending tools and email services do, and most act somewhere between 2% and 5%: Woodpecker's default auto-pause is 2%, Instantly pauses a campaign above 5%, and Amazon SES puts an account under review at a 5% hard-bounce rate. If you're above 2%, the cause is almost always the list, and the fix is verification and hygiene before you send. This post covers what each provider and tool actually publishes, what bounce rate means in practice, the usual causes, and a step-by-step fix. ## What is a bounce rate?[#](#what-is-a-bounce-rate) Bounce rate is the share of the emails you sent that were rejected and returned as undeliverable. Bounces ÷ emails sent × 100. Tools differ in what they count, which is why two dashboards can disagree: - **Hard bounces** are permanent: the address doesn't exist, or the domain takes no mail. SMTP replies starting with 5 (for example `550 5.1.1`). - **Soft bounces** are temporary: a full mailbox, a server that's down or rate-limiting you. SMTP replies starting with 4. - **Blocks** are rejections of _you_, not the address: failed authentication, a blocklisted domain, a policy refusal. They often look like hard bounces in a dashboard. Amazon SES, for example, calculates its bounce rate from hard bounces only. Smartlead's auto-protection counts both hard and soft bounces. Check which one your tool uses before comparing your number with anyone's benchmark. ## What bounce rate do Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook allow?[#](#what-bounce-rate-do-gmail-yahoo-and-outlook-allow) None of the big mailbox providers publishes a bounce-rate threshold. What they publish are authentication rules and a **spam complaint** threshold, plus a clear expectation that you stop sending to addresses that bounce. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Provider | What they publish | Bounce guidance | | --- | --- | --- | | **Gmail** | Applies to everyone sending to Gmail; stricter rules once you send close to 5,000 messages a day to personal Gmail accounts. Spam rate in Postmaster Tools below 0.1%, never 0.3% or higher. SPF and DKIM, DMARC, one-click unsubscribe for bulk senders. | "Automatically unsubscribe recipients who have multiple bounced messages." If mail starts bouncing or being deferred, reduce volume. | | **Yahoo** | Bulk senders: SPF and DKIM, a DMARC policy of at least `p=none`, spam rate below 0.3%, one-click unsubscribe, honor unsubscribes within 2 days. | Monitor hard and soft bounces and "remove invalid recipients from your list promptly." | | **Outlook.com** | Domains sending more than 5,000 emails a day must pass SPF, DKIM and DMARC (effective May 5, 2025). Non-compliant mail goes to junk, then may be rejected with `550 5.7.515`. | After a permanent (5xx) failure, the sender "must not attempt to retransmit that message to that recipient." | Two points follow: 1. **Complaints matter more than bounces to Gmail and Yahoo.** A 0.3% spam rate is three complaints per 1,000 emails. Cold email to the wrong people gets there fast. 2. **Bounces are a signal of list quality.** A high bounce rate tells providers your list is careless, which is the same thing complaints tell them. Google started ramping up enforcement on non-compliant traffic in November 2025, including temporary and permanent rejections. ## What bounce rate do sending tools allow?[#](#what-bounce-rate-do-sending-tools-allow) Bounce thresholds are mostly set by the tools you send through. These are published figures as of October 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool or service | Published threshold | What happens | | --- | --- | --- | | **Woodpecker** | 2% (default "Bounce shield") | Campaign auto-pauses until you restart it | | **Instantly** | Above 5%, once a campaign has sent at least 200 emails (adjustable) | Campaign auto-pauses; on by default | | **Smartlead** | You set the threshold (its examples use 3% and 5%) | Campaign pauses when it's reached | | **Amazon SES** | Keep hard bounces below 5%; review at 5%, possible pause at 10% | Account review, then sending pause | | **Amazon SES (complaints)** | Below 0.1%; review at 0.1%, possible pause at 0.5% | Account review, then sending pause | So 2% is the strictest common default and 5% is the point where tools start stopping you. The space between them isn't safe. It's where your sender reputation is getting worse before anything tells you so. ## A worked example: what 2% means in practice[#](#a-worked-example-what-2-means-in-practice) Say you're emailing **2,000** local businesses over two weeks. - At **2%**, that's 40 bounces. Woodpecker's default would pause you at this point. - At **5%**, that's 100 bounces. Instantly would pause the campaign; Amazon SES would review the account. - At **0.3% complaints**, it takes only **6** people clicking "report spam" to cross Gmail's line. Now split the list the way verification does. Suppose 1,400 addresses are verified and 600 are on catch-all domains. If the verified segment bounces at 1% (14 bounces) and the catch-all segment at 8% (48 bounces), the blended rate is 62 ÷ 2,000 = **3.1%**, over the 2% line, even though the verified segment alone is fine. Send them as separate campaigns and the verified one stays at 1% while you learn what the catch-all segment does. (These segment rates are illustrative, not measured.) ## What causes a high cold email bounce rate?[#](#what-causes-a-high-cold-email-bounce-rate) The causes, roughly in order of how often they're the problem: 1. **Addresses that were never real.** Pattern guesses (`firstname@company.com`) for people who don't work there, typos, and junk scraped from web pages. 2. **Unverified or stale lists.** Bought lists, old exports, or lists verified months ago. People change jobs and businesses close; see [how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works#how-often-should-you-re-verify-an-email-list) for the figures. 3. **Catch-all domains.** The server says yes to every address during verification, then some of those addresses bounce later. Guessed addresses on catch-all domains are the riskiest of all. 4. **Closed businesses.** Local businesses close and their domains lapse. A Google Maps listing can outlive the business behind it. 5. **Authentication failures.** Missing or broken SPF, DKIM or DMARC. Outlook rejects high-volume mail that fails them with `550 5.7.515`. These are blocks, but they show up as bounces. 6. **Reputation blocks.** A blocklisted sending domain or IP, or content that trips filters. 7. **Soft bounces you never retired.** Full mailboxes and dead servers that fail every time. ## How do I lower my cold email bounce rate?[#](#how-do-i-lower-my-cold-email-bounce-rate) Work through this in order. The first four steps fix most lists. A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. 1. **Find out what's bouncing.** Export the bounces with their SMTP codes. `5.1.1` (bad mailbox) means the list is the problem. `5.7.x` codes (policy, authentication) mean your setup or reputation is. 2. **Pause the campaign** while you fix it. Continuing to send while you investigate makes the reputation damage worse. 3. **Verify the rest of the list now.** Remove invalid addresses. Re-check anything last verified more than 30 days ago. 4. **Split verified from catch-all.** Send verified first. Send catch-all addresses later, in small separate batches, and stop if they bounce well above the verified segment. Our post on [catch-all emails](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) has a full rule set. 5. **Drop guessed addresses on catch-all domains.** They can't be checked at all. Prefer addresses the business published on its own website. 6. **Check authentication.** SPF and DKIM passing, a DMARC record published, the From domain aligned. Use a separate sending domain so problems don't hit your main one. 7. **Remove every hard bounce at once** and add it to a suppression list that every campaign, client and export checks. Retire soft bounces that keep failing. 8. **Slow down.** Google's advice when mail starts bouncing or being deferred is to reduce volume until the error rate drops. ## How do I stop bounces before they happen?[#](#how-do-i-stop-bounces-before-they-happen) Prevention is mostly about where the address came from and how recently it was checked: - [ ] Build the list from the business's own website, with the source page kept for every address. See [how to build a local lead list from Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation). - [ ] Verify at collection and again before sending if the check is over 30 days old. - [ ] Keep catch-all as its own segment and grade, never mixed into "valid." - [ ] Never send to invalid or unknown addresses. Re-check unknowns later. - [ ] Authenticate your sending domain and warm it up before volume. - [ ] Watch bounces per segment and per campaign, not just the account average. - [ ] Keep one shared suppression list. Our [cold-email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers the rest of the setup.

Several sending tools act at 2% to 5%: Woodpecker's default auto-pause is 2%, Instantly pauses campaigns above 5% after 200 sends, and Amazon SES reviews accounts at a 5% hard-bounce rate. ### Do Gmail and Yahoo have a bounce rate limit?[#](#do-gmail-and-yahoo-have-a-bounce-rate-limit) Neither publishes a bounce rate threshold. They publish a spam complaint threshold: Google asks senders to stay below 0.1% and never reach 0.3%, and Yahoo asks bulk senders to stay below 0.3%. Both also expect you to remove addresses that bounce. ### What's the difference between a hard bounce and a soft bounce?[#](#whats-the-difference-between-a-hard-bounce-and-a-soft-bounce) A hard bounce is a permanent failure, such as an address that doesn't exist (SMTP 5xx). A soft bounce is temporary, such as a full mailbox or a server that's busy (SMTP 4xx). Remove hard bounces immediately; retry soft bounces and remove an address if it keeps failing. ### Why do verified emails still bounce?[#](#why-do-verified-emails-still-bounce) Verification is a check at one moment. Mailboxes close after the check, some servers accept during the conversation and bounce afterwards, catch-all domains can't be verified at all, and some bounces are blocks for authentication or reputation rather than bad addresses. ### How do I lower my cold email bounce rate?[#](#how-do-i-lower-my-cold-email-bounce-rate-1) Verify every address shortly before sending, send verified and catch-all addresses as separate segments, drop guessed addresses on catch-all domains, authenticate your domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, remove every hard bounce at once, and keep a suppression list that every campaign checks. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Cold email checklist for agencies: 34 checks before you email local businesses A cold email checklist for agencies selling to local businesses: setup, list, verification, message and sending, with Gmail, Yahoo and tool thresholds. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 7, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook A cold email checklist for an agency selling to local businesses has five stages: **set up the sending domain** (separate domain, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, warm-up), **build the list** properly (a defined market, deduped, emails from each business's own website), **verify** it (verified addresses only, catch-all as its own segment, suppression applied), **write a compliant message** (honest subject, postal address, opt-out), and **send small and watch the numbers** (spam rate under 0.3%, bounces under 2%). The 34 checks below cover each stage, with the thresholds Google, Yahoo and the main sending tools publish. It isn't legal advice. Where a rule matters, we link to the regulator's own guidance. ## What thresholds should a cold email campaign stay under?[#](#what-thresholds-should-a-cold-email-campaign-stay-under) Stay under a 0.1% spam complaint rate (never 0.3%) and under a 2% bounce rate. Those two numbers decide whether Gmail, Yahoo and your sending tool keep delivering your mail. The published figures, as of October 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Metric | Threshold | Who sets it | What happens past it | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Spam complaint rate | Below 0.3% (all senders); recommended below 0.1% | Google \[1\]\[2\] | Delivery problems; Google started ramping up enforcement on non-compliant traffic in November 2025 | | Spam complaint rate | Below 0.3% | Yahoo \[3\] | Delivery problems for bulk senders | | Authentication | SPF or DKIM (all senders); SPF, DKIM and DMARC (`p=none` is enough) above 5,000 a day to Gmail | Google \[1\] | Mail rejected or sent to spam | | Authentication | SPF, DKIM and DMARC for domains sending over 5,000 a day | Microsoft Outlook.com \[4\] | Junk folder, then rejection with `550 5.7.515` | | Unsubscribe | One-click unsubscribe for marketing mail; honored within 2 days (Yahoo) | Google, Yahoo \[1\]\[3\] | Counts against bulk-sender compliance | | Bounce rate | 2% default auto-pause | Woodpecker \[5\] | Campaign pauses | | Bounce rate | Above 5% after 200 sends (adjustable, on by default) | Instantly \[6\] | Campaign pauses | | Bounce rate | Your own setting (examples use 3% and 5%) | Smartlead \[7\] | Campaign pauses | | Daily sends per user | 2,000 messages a day (500 on trial accounts) | Google Workspace \[8\] | Sending blocked for up to 24 hours | | Opt-out processing | Within 10 business days | FTC, CAN-SPAM \[9\] | Legal exposure, up to $53,088 per email | Two numbers from that table are worth turning into counts. At 0.3%, it takes **3 spam reports per 1,000 emails** to cross Google's line. At 2%, a 500-email campaign can absorb only **10 bounces**. Our [cold email bounce rate guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) explains where each figure comes from. ## Stage 1: Is your sending setup ready?[#](#stage-1-is-your-sending-setup-ready) Set up a separate, authenticated, warmed-up domain before you send anything, so a reputation problem never reaches your agency's main email. - [ ] **1\. Use a separate sending domain** that's clearly yours (`getacmeagency.com`), not your main domain or a client's. - [ ] **2\. Publish SPF** for the services that send for that domain. - [ ] **3\. Turn on DKIM signing** in your mail provider. - [ ] **4\. Publish a DMARC record.** `p=none` meets Google's and Yahoo's bulk-sender rule; tighten it once reports look clean. - [ ] **5\. Align the From domain** with the SPF or DKIM domain so DMARC passes. - [ ] **6\. Check the domain's MX and DNS** with the [email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker). - [ ] **7\. Warm up new mailboxes.** Start with a low daily volume and raise it gradually over a few weeks. The Google Workspace cap of 2,000 a day is a ceiling, not a target. - [ ] **8\. Spread volume across mailboxes** instead of pushing one mailbox hard. - [ ] **9\. Make replies reach a person.** No "no-reply" addresses: a reply is the only thing you want from cold email. ## Stage 2: Is the list built properly?[#](#stage-2-is-the-list-built-properly) Build the list from a defined market, cover the whole area, and clean it before you look for a single email. - [ ] **10\. Write the market down:** trade, place and a qualification rule ("independent HVAC companies in Maricopa County with a website and fewer than 50 reviews"). - [ ] **11\. Use every name for the trade.** "Plumber", "plumbing contractor", "drain cleaning service". The [keyword generator](https://leadraft.co/tools/google-maps-keyword-generator) builds the list. - [ ] **12\. Cover the whole area,** not one search's first page. One Google Maps search stops at about 120 results; see [how to get past the 120-result limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). - [ ] **13\. Dedupe on the listing's place ID,** not the business name. - [ ] **14\. Drop out-of-area and wrong-trade rows.** Hardware stores don't buy plumber SEO. - [ ] **15\. Take emails from the business's own website,** and keep the page each one came from. - [ ] **16\. Throw out junk addresses:** the web designer's footer email, `example@` placeholders, image filenames that look like emails. The [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) covers each of these steps in detail. ## Stage 3: Is every address verified and cleared to send?[#](#stage-3-is-every-address-verified-and-cleared-to-send) Verify every address shortly before the send, keep catch-all addresses apart, and run the suppression list on every export. - [ ] **17\. Verify every address** against the domain's mail server. Never send to invalid. - [ ] **18\. Re-verify anything checked more than 30 days ago.** - [ ] **19\. Keep catch-all (accept-all) addresses as a separate segment,** never mixed with verified. Our guide to [catch-all emails](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) has the decision rule. - [ ] **20\. Drop pattern-guessed addresses on catch-all domains.** They can't be checked. - [ ] **21\. Re-check "unknown" results later** instead of sending to them. - [ ] **22\. Apply one suppression list** (every opt-out and hard bounce, across every client, campaign and tool) to every export and push. ## Stage 4: Is the message honest and compliant?[#](#stage-4-is-the-message-honest-and-compliant) Write a short, specific email that says who you are, where you are and how to opt out. In the US, CAN-SPAM covers B2B email with no exception \[9\]. - [ ] **23\. One business, one reason.** Say something true about this business: its listing, site or market. - [ ] **24\. Honest subject line.** No fake "Re:" or "Fwd:", nothing that misrepresents the content. - [ ] **25\. Accurate From name and headers.** Your real name and company. - [ ] **26\. A valid physical postal address** in every email. CAN-SPAM requires it. - [ ] **27\. A clear opt-out** in every email: a working link, or a plain line like "Not interested? Reply 'no' and I won't email again." - [ ] **28\. Plain and short.** A few sentences, one question, no attachments, few links. No fake first names: Google Maps data has no owner names. - [ ] **29\. Check the country.** CASL (Canada), PECR (UK) and EU rules are stricter than CAN-SPAM. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) before emailing outside the US. ## Stage 5: Are you sending small and watching the numbers?[#](#stage-5-are-you-sending-small-and-watching-the-numbers) Send a small first batch, read every reply, and let bounces and complaints, not the calendar, decide when to scale. - [ ] **30\. Send a first batch of a few dozen** and read every reply before sending the rest. - [ ] **31\. Turn on your tool's bounce auto-pause** (2% is the strictest common default) and watch bounces per segment, not the account average. - [ ] **32\. Watch the spam rate** in Google Postmaster Tools. Stay below 0.1%. - [ ] **33\. Add opt-outs the day they arrive,** including replies like "remove me", and remove hard bounces at once. - [ ] **34\. Follow up two or three times, then stop.** Each follow-up adds something new; stop the moment someone replies or opts out. After the campaign, re-run the market on a schedule for newly opened businesses. They're often the most receptive, and a list that only contains what's new is the cheapest one you'll build. ## What changes outside the US?[#](#what-changes-outside-the-us) Mostly consent. CAN-SPAM lets you send B2B cold email without prior consent if you follow its rules; several other countries don't. In brief: - **UK:** under PECR, you can email limited companies and LLPs without consent, but sole traders and some partnerships get the same protection as individuals \[10\]. UK GDPR applies when an address identifies a person. - **Canada:** CASL generally requires consent. Implied consent can apply when an address is conspicuously published, without a "no unsolicited email" statement, and the message is relevant to the person's role \[11\]. - **EU:** GDPR applies to personal data in business emails, and national rules vary; Germany generally requires prior consent even for B2B email. - **Australia:** the Spam Act requires consent, which can be inferred in limited cases, plus identification and a working unsubscribe \[12\]. Our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) covers each country in more detail. When in doubt, get local advice. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What should be on a cold email checklist?[#](#what-should-be-on-a-cold-email-checklist) Five stages: sending setup (separate domain, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, warm-up), the list (defined market, deduped, emails from the business's own site), verification (verified only, catch-all as a separate segment, suppression list applied), the message (honest subject, postal address, opt-out) and sending (small first batch, bounce and spam-rate limits, follow-ups that stop). ### What spam complaint rate is too high for cold email?[#](#what-spam-complaint-rate-is-too-high-for-cold-email) Google requires all senders to keep the spam rate reported in Postmaster Tools below 0.3% and recommends staying below 0.1%. Yahoo asks bulk senders to stay below 0.3%. At 0.3%, three complaints per 1,000 emails is enough to cross the line. ### What bounce rate should pause a cold email campaign?[#](#what-bounce-rate-should-pause-a-cold-email-campaign) Aim for under 2%. Woodpecker's default auto-pause is 2%, and Instantly pauses a campaign above 5% once it has sent 200 emails. Gmail and Yahoo do not publish a bounce limit, but they expect you to stop sending to addresses that bounce. ### How many cold emails can I send per mailbox per day?[#](#how-many-cold-emails-can-i-send-per-mailbox-per-day) Google Workspace caps a paid user at 2,000 messages a day, but that is a hard ceiling, not a cold email target. Start new mailboxes far lower, raise the volume gradually as the domain warms up, and spread larger campaigns across several mailboxes rather than pushing one. ### Does CAN-SPAM apply to B2B cold email?[#](#does-can-spam-apply-to-b2b-cold-email) Yes. The FTC says the law makes no exception for business-to-business email. You need accurate headers, a non-deceptive subject line, a valid physical postal address, a clear way to opt out, and opt-outs honored within 10 business days. Each violating email can cost up to $53,088. ### Who is responsible when an agency sends cold email for a client?[#](#who-is-responsible-when-an-agency-sends-cold-email-for-a-client) Both can be. Under CAN-SPAM, the company whose product is promoted and the company that sends the message may both be held legally responsible. Agree in writing who handles opt-outs and share one suppression list between agency and client. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

B2B cold email laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL, PECR) in plain English Is B2B cold email legal? US, EU, UK, Canada and Australia rules in plain English: consent, opt-outs, what to include, and the penalties regulators publish. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 11 min Category Deliverability B2B cold email is legal in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and much of the EU, **but the rules differ a lot**. The US (CAN-SPAM) lets you email first and requires a working opt-out. Canada (CASL) and Australia (the Spam Act) require consent, but allow it to be implied when a business has published its work address and your message is relevant to their role. The UK (PECR) lets you email companies without consent but not sole traders. In the EU, GDPR allows B2B outreach on legitimate interests, but each country's own rules decide whether you need consent first. This is a plain-English summary for people sending B2B cold email to local businesses. **It isn't legal advice.** Laws change, they apply differently to your facts, and penalties are serious. Read the regulator's guidance linked below and talk to a lawyer before a large campaign in a new country. ## Cold email laws by country: the short version[#](#cold-email-laws-by-country-the-short-version) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Country | Main law | Consent before a B2B cold email? | Must include | Opt-out deadline | Maximum penalty (regulator's figure) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **US** | CAN-SPAM Act | No (opt-out regime) | Honest headers and subject, physical postal address, opt-out | 10 business days | Up to $53,088 per violating email | | **EU** | GDPR + each country's ePrivacy law | Depends on the country; legitimate interest possible under GDPR; Germany requires consent | Who you are, where you got the data, right to object | Immediately on objection | Up to €20 million or 4% of worldwide turnover (GDPR) | | **UK** | PECR + UK GDPR | No for companies and LLPs; yes for sole traders and some partnerships | Your identity and a valid contact address for opt-outs | Promptly; stop on objection | Up to £17.5 million or 4% of worldwide turnover (PECR, since February 2026) | | **Canada** | CASL | Yes, but implied consent for conspicuously published, role-relevant addresses | Identity, contact details, unsubscribe | 10 business days | Up to C$10 million per violation for a business (C$1 million for an individual) | | **Australia** | Spam Act 2003 | Yes, express or inferred (conspicuous publication allowed narrowly) | Sender identity, functional unsubscribe | 5 business days | Court penalties set in penalty units; ACMA examples run into the millions | The details for each are below. ## What does CAN-SPAM require for B2B cold email?[#](#what-does-can-spam-require-for-b2b-cold-email) CAN-SPAM doesn't require consent, but it applies to B2B email in full. The FTC is explicit: "The law makes no exception for business-to-business email." Every commercial email must meet the FTC's requirements: 1. **Don't use false or misleading header information.** From, To, Reply-To and routing must identify you accurately. 2. **Don't use deceptive subject lines.** No fake "Re:" or "Your invoice." 3. **Identify the message as an ad** where it is one. 4. **Tell recipients where you're located**: a valid physical postal address, which can be a street address, a registered P.O. box, or a registered private mailbox. 5. **Tell recipients how to opt out**, clearly and conspicuously. 6. **Remember that subscribers and members can opt out too.** 7. **Honor opt-outs promptly**: within 10 business days. The opt-out must keep working for at least 30 days after you send, you can't charge a fee, and you can't ask for more than an email address and opt-out preferences. 8. **Monitor what others do on your behalf.** Hiring an agency or a sending tool doesn't move the responsibility. The FTC says both the company whose product is promoted and the company that sends the message may be held legally responsible. ### How much is the CAN-SPAM penalty per email?[#](#how-much-is-the-can-spam-penalty-per-email) The FTC states that each separate email in violation is subject to penalties of **up to $53,088**. That's the inflation-adjusted figure that took effect on January 17, 2025. There's no 2026 increase: the Office of Management and Budget cancelled the 2026 civil penalty inflation adjustment (memorandum M-26-11, April 17, 2026) because the October 2025 inflation data wasn't produced during the government shutdown, so agencies are keeping their 2025 amounts. Per email means a 1,000-email campaign that breaks the rules is, in theory, 1,000 violations. In practice, the FTC focuses on serious and deceptive senders, but the exposure is real. ## Is B2B cold email legal under GDPR?[#](#is-b2b-cold-email-legal-under-gdpr) GDPR can allow B2B cold email, but GDPR isn't the only EU rule that applies. Two layers matter: **Layer 1: GDPR (data protection).** A business email with a person's name in it, such as `jane.martin@firm.fr`, is personal data. GDPR Recital 47 says processing for direct marketing "may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest," so you can rely on Article 6(1)(f) if you: - **Do and record a balancing test**: your interest in reaching the business against the person's rights and expectations. Relevance to their job helps; volume and intrusiveness hurt. - **Tell them where you got their data.** Article 14 requires this when you didn't collect the data from the person, at the latest when you first contact them. - **Stop immediately when they object.** Article 21 gives an absolute right to object to direct marketing. No balancing, no argument. - **Keep the data minimal and accurate**, and don't keep it forever. **Layer 2: national electronic marketing rules.** The ePrivacy Directive left the rules for emails to businesses (legal persons) largely to each member state, so they vary: - **Germany**: the Unfair Competition Act (UWG §7) treats advertising by email without the recipient's prior express consent as an unreasonable nuisance, and doesn't carve out business recipients. Assume you need consent. - **France**: the CNIL says B2B prospecting by email can be based on legitimate interest without prior consent when the message relates to the recipient's profession, they're told where their data came from, and they can easily object. Other countries fall between these. Check the country's regulator before you send. **Penalties.** Under GDPR Article 83(5), the maximum fine for breaching the basic principles or data subject rights is €20 million or 4% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. National ePrivacy penalties vary by country. ## Is cold emailing illegal in the UK? The PECR rules for B2B[#](#is-cold-emailing-illegal-in-the-uk-the-pecr-rules-for-b2b) In the UK, PECR's email marketing consent rule doesn't apply to **corporate subscribers**: limited companies, LLPs, Scottish partnerships and government bodies. You can email them without prior consent, but you must not hide your identity and you must give a valid address for opt-outs. **Sole traders and some partnerships** are treated as individuals. You need their consent, or the "soft opt-in" (they bought something similar from you and didn't opt out). For local business outreach this matters a lot, because many plumbers, cleaners and salons in the UK are sole traders. The ICO warns you can't tell a sole trader from a company by the email address, and says to treat unclear cases as individuals. **UK GDPR still applies** whenever you hold a named person's data, even at a company. Legitimate interests, telling people where you got their data, and honoring objections all apply as in the EU. **Penalties.** The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 raised the maximum PECR fine from £500,000 to **£17.5 million or 4% of worldwide turnover**, in line with UK GDPR. The ICO confirmed that power was in force as part of the Act's commencement in February 2026. ## Is cold email legal in Canada? The CASL rules[#](#is-cold-email-legal-in-canada-the-casl-rules) CASL is an opt-in law: you need consent before sending a commercial electronic message. For B2B, the useful route is **implied consent by conspicuous publication**. Under section 10(9)(b), consent is implied when: 1. the person has conspicuously published their email address, or caused it to be published (for example on their own business website); 2. the publication doesn't say they don't want unsolicited commercial messages; and 3. your message is relevant to their business, role or duties. The CRTC stresses this is a higher bar than an address simply being findable online, that it's judged case by case, and that **you carry the burden of proving consent**. Keep a record of where and when each address was published. Every message must also identify you, give contact details, and include an unsubscribe mechanism that's valid for at least 60 days. Unsubscribes must be honored without delay and no later than 10 business days. **Penalties.** The CRTC says the maximum administrative monetary penalty per violation is C$1 million for an individual and **C$10 million for a business**. ## Is cold email legal in Australia? The Spam Act rules[#](#is-cold-email-legal-in-australia-the-spam-act-rules) The Spam Act 2003 requires consent, express or inferred, for commercial electronic messages, including to businesses. Consent can't be inferred just because an address is published. The exception is **conspicuous publication**: where a work address is conspicuously published, your message relates to the person's work, and the publication doesn't say they don't want commercial messages. Every message must identify the sender accurately and include a functional unsubscribe. The ACMA says unsubscribes must be actioned within **5 working days**, cost nothing, and keep working for at least 30 days after the message is sent. **Penalties.** Court penalties are set in penalty units and rise for repeat offenders. Enforcement is real: in 2024 the ACMA announced that Commonwealth Bank paid **A$7.5 million** for spam breaches, including marketing emails with no way to unsubscribe. ## What should every B2B cold email include?[#](#what-should-every-b2b-cold-email-include) If you follow the strictest common version of each rule, one template works in most places: - [ ] Your real name, your company's name, and an accurate From and Reply-To. - [ ] An honest subject line. - [ ] A valid physical postal address. - [ ] A clear opt-out ("Reply 'no' and I won't email again" or a link) that works for at least 60 days. - [ ] A line saying where you found their address ("I found your email on smithplumbing.com"). - [ ] A message that's about their business and role. - [ ] Opt-outs honored within 2 days, which meets every legal deadline above and matches what Yahoo and Google ask of bulk senders. And outside the message: - [ ] One suppression list across every campaign and client, checked before every send. - [ ] A record of where each address came from and when. - [ ] Country-specific handling: no unconsented emails to Germany, no sole traders in the UK without consent. ## What about where the list came from?[#](#what-about-where-the-list-came-from) Email laws govern the message. Separate rules govern the data you used to build the list. Business facts like a company's name, phone and address are generally public business information, but a named person's email is personal data under GDPR, UK GDPR and similar laws, wherever you found it. The source's own terms matter too. Google's Maps terms prohibit mass downloading or creating bulk feeds of Maps content, and list business listings databases, mailing lists and telemarketing lists among the datasets you may not create or augment with Google Maps for use in a service similar to it. Contract terms are a different question from privacy law, and how they apply depends on what you do. We cover this honestly in [is scraping Google Maps legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal). If your business depends on it, get legal advice. ## A practical decision rule[#](#a-practical-decision-rule) Before a campaign, answer five questions per country: 1. **Who is the recipient?** A company, or a sole trader or person? 2. **Do I need consent?** US: no. UK companies: no. Canada and Australia: yes, possibly implied by publication. Germany: yes. Elsewhere in the EU: check. 3. **Is the message relevant to their role?** If not, implied consent and legitimate interest both get weak. 4. **Can I prove where the address came from?** Keep the source page and date. 5. **Does my email carry identity, address and opt-out, and will I honor opt-outs within 2 days?** If any answer is unclear, leave that country out of the campaign until it isn't. The [cold-email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers the setup side, and [what's a good cold email bounce rate](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) covers deliverability. For agencies running campaigns for clients, our [agencies page](https://leadraft.co/solutions/agencies) explains how shared suppression works across a team. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Is cold email legal in the US?[#](#is-cold-email-legal-in-the-us) Yes, B2B cold email is generally legal in the US if it follows CAN-SPAM. The law doesn't require consent, but every commercial email needs honest headers and subject lines, a valid physical postal address, a clear way to opt out, and opt-outs honored within 10 business days. The FTC lists penalties of up to $53,088 per violating email. ### Is B2B cold email legal under GDPR?[#](#is-b2b-cold-email-legal-under-gdpr-1) It can be. GDPR allows processing personal data for direct marketing on the basis of legitimate interests if you do a balancing test, tell people where you got their data, and stop immediately when they object. But each EU country also has its own electronic marketing rules, and some, such as Germany, require prior consent even for emails to businesses. ### Can I cold email businesses in the UK?[#](#can-i-cold-email-businesses-in-the-uk) Under PECR, you can email corporate subscribers (limited companies, LLPs, public bodies) without prior consent, as long as you identify yourself and give a valid opt-out address. Sole traders and some partnerships count as individuals and need consent. UK GDPR still applies to any named person's data. ### Is cold email legal in Canada?[#](#is-cold-email-legal-in-canada) CASL requires consent before most commercial emails. Consent can be implied when a person has conspicuously published their business email address without saying they don't want unsolicited messages, and your message is relevant to their role. You must identify yourself and honor unsubscribes within 10 business days. ### Is cold email legal in Australia?[#](#is-cold-email-legal-in-australia) The Spam Act 2003 requires consent, which can be express or inferred. Consent can be inferred from a conspicuously published work address only if your message relates to the recipient's role and they haven't said they don't want commercial messages. Every message must identify the sender and include an unsubscribe that takes effect within 5 business days. ### Does CAN-SPAM apply to B2B emails?[#](#does-can-spam-apply-to-b2b-emails) Yes. The FTC states that the law makes no exception for business-to-business email. A commercial email to a business address must meet the same requirements as one sent to a consumer. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Cold email templates for local businesses (12 that get replies) 12 B2B cold email templates for local businesses that get replies, by offer: web design, SEO, reviews, POS, staffing, cleaning, insurance, with Maps fields. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook A good cold email to a local business is short, specific and about them: one true observation from their listing (category, city, reviews, website), one offer that fits their trade, and one easy question to answer. The 12 B2B cold email templates below are organized by offer, from web design and SEO to POS, staffing, cleaning and insurance. Each has a subject line, the body, why it works, and the fields it needs from a Google Maps export. We don't quote reply rates for them: yours will depend on your list, offer and copy, so test them against each other. ## What fields from a Google Maps export can I personalize with?[#](#what-fields-from-a-google-maps-export-can-i-personalize-with) Use the fields every Maps listing has, and only in sentences that are true for that row. These are the merge variables the templates use. Rename them to match your CSV headers in Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Variable | Comes from | Example | | --- | --- | --- | | `{{business}}` | Business name | Desert Air HVAC | | `{{category}}` | Primary Google Maps category | HVAC contractor | | `{{city}}` | Address | Mesa | | `{{rating}}` | Google star rating | 4.3 | | `{{reviews}}` | Google review count | 38 | | `{{website}}` | Website on the listing | desertairhvac.com | Three rules before you start: 1. **Segment first, then pick the template.** The "no website" email only goes to rows with an empty website column. The "review gap" email only goes to rows where the gap is real. 2. **No fake first names.** Maps listings don't carry owner names. "Hi there" is fine. 3. **Every email carries your name, company, postal address and an opt-out line.** In the US, CAN-SPAM requires a valid postal address and a working opt-out for business email too. ## Web design templates[#](#web-design-templates) ### 1\. No website, strong reviews[#](#1-no-website-strong-reviews) ``` Subject: {{business}} website Hi there, I found {{business}} on Google Maps while looking at {{category}} businesses in {{city}}. {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, but no website on the listing, so anyone who wants to see your work or prices has nowhere to go next. I build simple sites for {{category}} businesses: services, areas you cover, your Google reviews, and a quote form. Fixed price. Want me to send a free mockup of what yours could look like? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` **Why it works:** it names the gap in their own numbers and offers a free, concrete next step instead of a call. **Fields:** business, category, city, reviews, rating. **Send to:** website empty, 20 or more reviews. Businesses without a website rarely have a findable email, so this segment is small on email. Our guide on [finding businesses without a website](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites) covers phone and in-person versions. ### 2\. Outdated or not mobile-friendly site[#](#2-outdated-or-not-mobile-friendly-site) ``` Subject: {{website}} on a phone Hi there, I opened {{website}} on my phone after finding {{business}} on Google Maps. [One true, specific observation: the phone number isn't tappable / the menu covers the page / the footer says 2017.] Most people looking for a {{category}} in {{city}} are on their phone, so that's where the site has to work. I can fix that in about two weeks for a fixed price. Worth a quick look at a before-and-after? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** the bracketed line forces you to look at the site, which is what makes it read as personal. **Fields:** website, business, category, city. **Send to:** sites you've checked by hand. ## Local SEO templates[#](#local-seo-templates) ### 3\. Category mismatch[#](#3-category-mismatch) ``` Subject: your Google category Hi there, {{business}} is listed on Google as "{{category}}". The three {{city}} businesses that show up first for your main search all use "[more specific category]". Your category is one of the main ways Google decides which searches you're relevant for, and it takes two minutes to change. Happy to show you which secondary categories are worth adding too. Want the list? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** it gives away a real fix up front, which earns a reply even from people who'll do it themselves. **Fields:** business, category, city. **Send to:** generic primary categories. ### 4\. Map pack comparison[#](#4-map-pack-comparison) ``` Subject: {{business}} vs the top 3 in {{city}} Hi there, I searched "{{category}} {{city}}" and compared the top three results with {{business}}. They average [N] reviews; you have {{reviews}}. [One more specific difference: hours, photos, website.] I put the comparison on one page. Want me to send it? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** owners care about specific competitors more than about "SEO". **Fields:** business, category, city, reviews. More on scoring and audits in [how to find local SEO clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-local-seo-clients). ## Reviews and reputation templates[#](#reviews-and-reputation-templates) ### 5\. Few reviews for the trade[#](#5-few-reviews-for-the-trade) ``` Subject: reviews for {{business}} Hi there, {{business}} has {{reviews}} Google reviews. In a 2026 BrightLocal survey, 47% of US consumers said they won't use a business with fewer than 20. Most {{category}} businesses fix this with one habit: asking every happy customer right after the job, with a link that opens the review box. I set that up for you, including the texts and emails. Want to see how it works? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** one sourced number, one simple habit, no shame. **Fields:** business, reviews, category. **Send to:** under 20 reviews and still active. ### 6\. Rating below 4.0[#](#6-rating-below-40) ``` Subject: a question about your Google reviews Hi there, I work with {{category}} businesses in {{city}} on their Google reviews. Replying to every review, the good and the bad, is one of the simplest things that changes how new customers read a profile. I can take review replies off your plate, and set up a way for happy customers to leave one too. Is that something you'd want help with? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** it doesn't quote their low rating back to them. People defend themselves when you do. **Fields:** category, city. **Send to:** rating under 4.0. Never offer incentives for reviews; Google's policies prohibit them. ## Software and POS templates[#](#software-and-pos-templates) ### 7\. POS or ordering system for restaurants[#](#7-pos-or-ordering-system-for-restaurants) ``` Subject: {{business}} and online orders Hi there, I'm [Name] at [Company]. We make [one-line product: a POS with online ordering built in] for independent {{category}} spots like {{business}}. The short version: [one concrete benefit, e.g. no per-order commission on pickup orders]. Most owners switch over in [time]. Would it be useful if I sent a 2-minute video of how it works for a restaurant your size? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** a video is an easier yes than a demo call for someone running a kitchen. **Fields:** business, category. **Send to:** independent restaurants, cafes, bars (filter out chains by name). ### 8\. Booking software for salons, spas and clinics[#](#8-booking-software-for-salons-spas-and-clinics) ``` Subject: bookings at {{business}} Hi there, I looked at {{business}}'s listing and [true observation: there's no "Book" link / bookings go through a phone number only]. [Company] lets {{category}} clients book and pay a deposit online, which [one concrete benefit, e.g. cuts no-shows]. It's [price or "free to try"]. Want me to set up a test page for {{business}} so you can see it? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Fields:** business, category, website. **Send to:** salons, med spas, physical therapists, chiropractors. ## B2B service templates[#](#b2b-service-templates) ### 9\. Staffing for restaurants, warehouses or clinics[#](#9-staffing-for-restaurants-warehouses-or-clinics) ``` Subject: staff for {{business}} Hi there, I run [Company], a staffing agency in {{city}} that places [roles] with {{category}} businesses. If you're ever short on a shift or hiring for [role], we can usually send vetted people within [time]. No contract until you've tried someone. Who handles hiring at {{business}}? Happy to send details to them instead. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** asking for the right person is an easy reply when you've reached a general inbox. **Fields:** business, city, category. ### 10\. Commercial cleaning for offices and clinics[#](#10-commercial-cleaning-for-offices-and-clinics) ``` Subject: cleaning for {{business}} Hi there, [Company] cleans offices and clinics in {{city}}, mostly [category, e.g. dental practices], after hours so it never gets in the way. If your current cleaner is fine, no need to reply. If not, we'll do a free walkthrough and a fixed monthly quote, no contract. Worth a walkthrough this month? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** "if your current cleaner is fine, no need to reply" is honest, and it makes the email feel low-pressure. **Fields:** business, city, category. **Send to:** dentists, medical offices, law firms, accountants with a physical office. ### 11\. Business insurance for contractors[#](#11-business-insurance-for-contractors) ``` Subject: insurance for {{category}} businesses Hi there, I'm a licensed agent in [state] and I work with {{category}} businesses around {{city}} on general liability, commercial auto and workers' comp. Most of the contractors I talk to haven't compared quotes since they started. I can do that in one 15-minute call and you'll know whether you're overpaying. Open to a quick comparison? [Name] · [Agency] · [License number if required] · [Postal address] Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` **Why it works:** a concrete task with a clear time cost. Check your state's rules for insurance advertising before you send. **Fields:** category, city. **Send to:** roofers, electricians, plumbers, general contractors. ## Template for new businesses[#](#template-for-new-businesses) ### 12\. Newly opened business (any offer)[#](#12-newly-opened-business-any-offer) ``` Subject: congrats on opening {{business}} Hi there, I saw {{business}} recently appeared on Google Maps in {{city}}. Congratulations on the opening. The first few months are when most new {{category}} businesses set up [your service: their website / reviews / insurance / payroll]. [One sentence on what you do and for whom.] If it would help, I'm happy to [small free thing: send a checklist / do a quick review of your listing]. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` **Why it works:** new businesses are actively buying, and timing is the personalization. **Fields:** business, city, category. **Send to:** businesses that are new since your last run of the same search. ## How should I follow up?[#](#how-should-i-follow-up) Send two or three follow-ups, each adding something new, then stop. A short pattern: ``` Follow-up 1 (3–4 days later) Subject: re: {{business}} Hi there, a quick example of what I meant: [one link, screenshot or one-line result for a similar business]. Worth a look? Follow-up 2 (5–7 days later) Subject: re: {{business}} Hi there, I'll leave it after this one. If [problem] isn't a priority right now, no problem at all. If it is, reply "yes" and I'll send details. ``` Stop the sequence when someone replies or opts out, and add opt-outs to a suppression list that every future campaign is checked against. ## How do I test these templates?[#](#how-do-i-test-these-templates) Test one change at a time and judge on replies, not opens. A simple setup: 1. **Pick two templates for the same segment** (for example, templates 3 and 4 for dentists in one metro). 2. **Split the segment randomly** and send each half the same number of emails over the same days. 3. **Compare positive replies** after a few hundred sends each. Small samples swing a lot. 4. **Keep the winner, rewrite the loser,** and test again. Verify every address before any of this. Bounces distort the test and hurt the sending domain. Our [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers setup and authentication, and [how to import Google Maps leads into Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-leads-to-instantly) covers the variable mapping for these templates. ## What legal rules apply to these templates?[#](#what-legal-rules-apply-to-these-templates) In the US, CAN-SPAM covers commercial email including B2B: accurate headers, a subject line that matches the content, identification as an advertisement, a valid physical postal address, and an opt-out honored within 10 business days. Penalties can reach $53,088 per email. Canada (CASL) and the UK (PECR, UK GDPR) are stricter, especially for sole traders. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws), and get legal advice for your situation. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do you write a cold email to a local business?[#](#how-do-you-write-a-cold-email-to-a-local-business) Keep it under about 120 words, open with something true and specific about their business (their category, city, reviews or website), make one offer that fits their trade, and end with one easy question. Include your name, company, postal address and an opt-out line. ### How do I personalize cold emails to local businesses at scale?[#](#how-do-i-personalize-cold-emails-to-local-businesses-at-scale) Use fields from a Google Maps export as merge variables: business name, category, city, rating, review count and website. Segment the list first so each template only goes to businesses where its observation is true, for example the no-website template only to rows with an empty website column. ### What if I don't have the owner's name?[#](#what-if-i-dont-have-the-owners-name) Google Maps listings don't include owner names, so most local lists won't have one. Open with "Hi there" or "Hi `{{business}}` team". A wrong or obviously merged first name is worse than none. ### What reply rate should I expect from local business cold email?[#](#what-reply-rate-should-i-expect-from-local-business-cold-email) There is no reliable universal number: it depends on your offer, trade, list quality and copy. Measure your own rate per template and segment over a few hundred sends before you judge a template, and compare templates against each other rather than against an industry average. ### Do cold emails to businesses need an unsubscribe link?[#](#do-cold-emails-to-businesses-need-an-unsubscribe-link) In the US, CAN-SPAM applies to business-to-business email and requires a clear way to opt out, honored within 10 business days, plus your valid physical postal address. A plain line such as "Reply no and I won't write again" works if you honor it. ### How many follow-ups should I send to a local business?[#](#how-many-follow-ups-should-i-send-to-a-local-business) Two or three, a few days apart, each adding something new: an example, a different angle or a simple question. Stop as soon as they reply or opt out. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Commercial insurance leads: how agents build their own prospect lists by trade How commercial P&C agents build their own lead lists of contractors, restaurants and truckers by county, time outreach to renewals, and follow licensing rules. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook Commercial insurance agents can build their own lead lists by listing every business in a trade they write well (contractors, restaurants, trucking, auto repair) inside the counties they're licensed in, then contacting each business ahead of its renewal. Google Maps gives you every such business with a phone number and website, and public data adds more for some trades: federal records show which trucking companies have operating authority and insurance on file. A self-built list isn't shared with other agents, but nobody on it asked for a quote, so the outreach has to earn the conversation. ## Shared leads, exclusive leads or your own list?[#](#shared-leads-exclusive-leads-or-your-own-list) Each source trades cost and intent against competition. Most agencies use more than one. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Source | Intent | Shared with other agents? | Cost per business | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Shared internet leads | Asked for a quote | Usually yes | Medium | Fast volume, if you can call first | | Exclusive leads | Asked for a quote | No | High | Agents with a strong closing process | | Referrals and cross-sell | Warm | No | Low | Every agency, but slow to scale | | Associations and trade groups | Warm-ish | No | Medium | Niches (contractors, restaurants) | | Self-built list by trade | Cold | No | Low | Steady pipeline in a chosen niche | The self-built list wins on cost and exclusivity, and it lets you go deep in one trade, which is how most commercial books grow. ## Which trades make the best commercial insurance prospects?[#](#which-trades-make-the-best-commercial-insurance-prospects) Pick trades with several coverages per policyholder, real exposure, and a clear yearly renewal.

Under 49 CFR 387.9, for-hire interstate carriers of non-hazardous property in vehicles of 10,001 pounds or more must carry at least $750,000 of public liability coverage. Certain oil and hazardous materials require $1,000,000, and some bulk hazardous materials $5,000,000. Every one of those carriers must maintain that coverage, and carriers with operating authority file proof of it with FMCSA, which makes them a defined, findable market. ## How do I build a list of businesses by trade and county?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-businesses-by-trade-and-county) Search each trade in each county you're licensed in, export, then clean. 1. **List your trades and the Google Maps categories for each.** Contractors alone span "general contractor", "roofing contractor", "electrician", "plumber", "HVAC contractor", "concrete contractor" and more. Our [keyword packs](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs) group these. 2. **Search county by county, in pieces.** A single Maps search stops at about 120 results, so split large counties by city or ZIP code ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). 3. **Export** business, category, phone, website, address, rating and reviews. 4. **Remove what you can't write**: franchises with corporate programs, businesses outside your licensed states, trades your carriers won't take. 5. **Rank the rest.** Reviews hint at size and activity. A roofer with 300 reviews runs more crews than one with 8. 6. **Add trade data where it exists.** For trucking, match on USDOT number using FMCSA's public data (below). For bars, your state's liquor license list adds license type and date. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. New businesses are worth a separate feed: a company that just opened needs its first policies. See [new business license lists](https://leadraft.co/blog/new-business-license-lists) and [finding new businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area). ## How do I find trucking companies and their insurance dates?[#](#how-do-i-find-trucking-companies-and-their-insurance-dates) Use FMCSA's public data. FMCSA has published insurance filings for carriers with operating authority as open data on data.transportation.gov, including the insurer, the liability limits, and the effective and cancellation dates. The dataset of active and pending policies ("ActPendInsur") was last refreshed in May 2026 and is marked as no longer updated, so check FMCSA for the current source before you rely on it. Effective dates from a filing are a strong hint at the renewal month. Treat them as a hint, not a fact: policies can be rewritten mid-term, and a carrier may change insurers at any time. Confirm on the call. ## When should I contact a business about renewal?[#](#when-should-i-contact-a-business-about-renewal) Contact each business early enough to quote before it renews. Most businesses won't change agents mid-term, so the renewal window is when you win. Our rule of thumb: - **First contact, any time:** introduce yourself and ask one question, "When does your policy renew?" - **About 90 days before renewal:** ask for the current declarations pages and loss runs, so you have time to shop markets. This is a working habit, not a regulation. - **30 days before:** present the quote. - **After renewal:** if you lost, set a reminder for next year. A business that said "not this year" is a warm lead next year. Put the renewal month in your CRM the moment you learn it. A self-built list becomes valuable when it turns into a calendar of renewals. ## What should my outreach say?[#](#what-should-my-outreach-say) Be specific about the trade and ask one easy question. Business owners get many insurance calls, so show you know their work. ### Email to a contractor[#](#email-to-a-contractor) ``` Subject: {{business}}'s renewal Hi there, I write general liability and workers' comp for {{category}} businesses in {{county}} County, so I know the questions carriers ask about subs, payroll and job types. When does {{business}}'s policy renew? If it's in the next few months, I'm happy to run a comparison. All I'd need is your current dec pages. [Name], [Agency] · Licensed in [states] · [Postal address] Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Phone opener for a restaurant[#](#phone-opener-for-a-restaurant) ``` "Hi, is the owner or manager in? ... I'm [Name] with [Agency]. I work with restaurants in [area] on their insurance, including liquor liability. I'm not asking you to switch today. When's your renewal, so I can send you a comparison a couple of months before?" ``` More scripts are in [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses), and cold calling has its own guide: [how to find businesses to cold call](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-businesses-to-cold-call). ## What compliance rules apply to insurance prospecting?[#](#what-compliance-rules-apply-to-insurance-prospecting) Licensing comes first. Insurance producers are licensed by each state: a resident license in your home state, and a nonresident license in each other state where you sell, usually applied for through the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR). Lines of authority (property, casualty and others) must match what you sell. States also regulate insurance advertising and solicitation, and the rules differ, so check each state's department of insurance before you run a campaign there. For the outreach itself: - **Email:** CAN-SPAM covers commercial email to businesses. Honest sender and subject, your postal address, and an opt-out honored within 10 business days. - **Calls:** under the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule, most business-to-business calls are exempt. Calls that sell to employees for their own use are not. The TCPA's rules on autodialed and prerecorded calls apply separately, and many small business owners list a cell phone. - **Google Maps terms** restrict scraping Maps content and building lead lists from it. That's a contract matter, separate from insurance and email law. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws), and get advice from your compliance team or a lawyer. ## A worked example[#](#a-worked-example) An illustration, with invented response rates: an agent licensed in two Texas counties lists roofers, general contractors and HVAC companies and gets 1,150 businesses. After removing franchises and trades their carriers won't write, 820 remain. Calling and emailing 820 businesses over a quarter, at an assumed 15% who share a renewal month, gives about 120 renewal dates spread across the year: roughly 10 quote opportunities a month, each timed. The point is the calendar: the same list keeps producing quotes for years if the renewal dates are recorded. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Where do commercial insurance agents get leads?[#](#where-do-commercial-insurance-agents-get-leads) From four places: referrals and existing clients, bought leads (shared or exclusive), associations and trade groups, and lists they build themselves. A self-built list of every business in a trade within a county costs the least per business and isn't shared with other agents, but it takes outreach work, since nobody on it asked for a quote. ### What are the best industries for commercial insurance leads?[#](#what-are-the-best-industries-for-commercial-insurance-leads) Trades with several required or expected coverages and a clear renewal: contractors (general liability, workers' compensation, commercial auto, tools), restaurants and bars (property, liability, liquor liability where alcohol is served), trucking (auto liability with federal minimums), auto repair shops (garage and garagekeepers coverage), and medical and professional offices (professional liability). ### When should I contact a business about its commercial insurance?[#](#when-should-i-contact-a-business-about-its-commercial-insurance) Before its renewal, early enough to quote. Ask for the renewal month on the first call and set a reminder about 90 days before it. That's a rule of thumb for leaving time to gather information and shop markets, not a regulation. ### Do I need a license in every state where I sell commercial insurance?[#](#do-i-need-a-license-in-every-state-where-i-sell-commercial-insurance) Generally yes. Insurance producers are licensed by each state, with a resident license in the home state and nonresident licenses elsewhere, usually applied for through NIPR. Lines of authority (such as property and casualty) and advertising rules vary by state, so check each state's department of insurance. ### Are shared insurance leads worth buying?[#](#are-shared-insurance-leads-worth-buying) They can be when you need volume quickly, because the business asked for a quote. The trade-off is that several agents usually get the same lead, so speed decides who wins. A self-built list gives you businesses no one else is calling that week, at a lower cost per business, but you have to start the conversation. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1. eCFR, [49 CFR 387.9: Financial responsibility, minimum levels](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-387/subpart-A/section-387.9) (schedule of limits for motor carriers of property). 2.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Commercial real estate prospecting: how brokers find tenants and owners by area How CRE brokers list every business in a corridor or submarket, spot growth signals, track lease timing, and find property owners in public records. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook Commercial real estate prospecting works best when you list every business operating in the corridor or submarket you cover, sort them by the space they use, and contact each one with a reason that fits its situation: it's growing, its lease is coming up, or a better space has opened. Google Maps gives you the tenants: every business in a drawn area, with category, phone and website. Property owners come from county assessor and recorder records, and lease dates mostly come from asking. Track all three in one sheet and the list becomes a calendar of deals. ## Who are you prospecting: tenants or owners?[#](#who-are-you-prospecting-tenants-or-owners) CRE brokers prospect two groups with different data sources. Tenant rep and leasing work starts with the businesses; listing and investment sales start with the property owners. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Goal | Who you contact | Where the list comes from | | --- | --- | --- | | Tenant representation | Businesses that may move, grow or renew | Businesses by area and category (Google Maps) | | Leasing a vacancy | Businesses that fit the space and the area | Same, filtered to the right use and size | | Listing a property | Owners of buildings in your submarket | County assessor and recorder records | | Investment sales | Owners likely to sell | County records, plus business signals for owner-users | | Owner-user sales | Businesses that may buy their own building | Businesses by area, with growth signals | Most brokers need both lists. An owner-occupied building links them: the business is the tenant and, through an LLC, often the owner. ## How do I list every business in a submarket?[#](#how-do-i-list-every-business-in-a-submarket) Draw the area you cover, search each category inside it, and export. A submarket rarely follows city limits, so draw it as a polygon around the corridor, business park or downtown blocks you work. 1. **Draw the submarket** as a polygon or radius, or load a KML file of its boundary. 2. **Pick the categories that use your property type.** Retail: restaurants, cafes, salons, boutiques, gyms. Office: law firms, accountants, insurance agencies, financial advisors, engineering firms. Medical office: dentists, physical therapists, chiropractors, clinics. Industrial: warehouses, distributors, manufacturers, contractors' yards. 3. **Search category by category in pieces.** One Google Maps search stops at about 120 results ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). 4. **Export** business, category, address, phone, website, rating, reviews and hours. 5. **Add your own columns**: building, suite, estimated size, lease expiration, renewal options, decision-maker, last contact. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. For a sense of scale before you start, the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counts establishments by industry and employee size for each county, and ZIP Code Business Patterns gives establishment totals by ZIP code. If CBP says your county has 400 dental offices and your county-wide list has 150, you're missing categories, keywords or areas. Our guide to [getting a list of all businesses in an area](https://leadraft.co/blog/list-of-businesses-in-my-area) covers the sources in more detail. ## What growth signals show a business may need new space?[#](#what-growth-signals-show-a-business-may-need-new-space) Look for signs that a business is outgrowing its space or expanding into new markets. None proves a move; each is a reason to call. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Signal | How to spot it | What to ask | | --- | --- | --- | | Hiring | Open roles on the careers page or job boards | "Where will the new people sit?" | | A second or third location | Same brand at new addresses | "Are you looking at more areas?" | | Fast review growth | Review count rising between two exports months apart | "You've clearly gotten busier. Is the space keeping up?" | | Appointment-only, waitlists, long waits | Listing, website, reviews | "Would more rooms or chairs help?" | | Home-based business with growing reviews | Residential address or service-area listing | "Have you thought about a storefront or office?" | | A new business in the area | New listings in your submarket | "Did you sign long-term, or is this a test?" | Review growth needs two snapshots. Export your submarket, export it again three or six months later, and compare the reviews column per business. It's a rough proxy, but it's free and it covers every business in the area. New businesses deserve their own feed. A company that just opened may be in a short-term space, and new arrivals show where demand is moving. The Census Bureau's Business Formation Statistics publishes business application counts by state and county, which show where formation is rising. To find the businesses themselves, see [how to find new businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area). ## How do I track lease timing?[#](#how-do-i-track-lease-timing) Ask, and write it down. Most private commercial leases aren't public, so the expiration date usually comes from the tenant. A simple working rhythm (our rule of thumb, not an industry standard): - **First contact:** ask when the lease is up and whether it has renewal options. Many leases set a deadline for exercising an option, so ask for that date too. - **18 to 12 months before expiration:** start the conversation about needs. Larger moves take longer to plan and build out. - **Before the option deadline:** make sure the tenant knows its choices, renew, renegotiate or move, before the window closes. - **After a decision:** record the new expiration. Next time it's already on your calendar. Some commercial data subscriptions estimate lease expirations. Treat those as a hint and confirm with the tenant. ## How do I find the owner of a commercial property?[#](#how-do-i-find-the-owner-of-a-commercial-property) Look up the parcel in county records. The county assessor (or property appraiser) lists the owner of record for each parcel, usually with a mailing address for tax bills, and the recorder or clerk holds deeds and mortgages. Most US counties offer an online parcel search. Many commercial buildings are owned by LLCs. To find the people behind one: 1. Search the LLC in the state's business entity database (usually the Secretary of State). 2. Note the registered agent, and the managers or members if the state lists them. 3. Check the mailing address on the tax record. It often points to the owner's office. We cover the state-by-state details in [how to find the owner of an LLC](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-llc-owner-by-state) and [how to find the owner of a business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-the-owner-of-a-business). Google Maps doesn't show property owners; it shows the businesses operating at an address. ## What should my outreach say?[#](#what-should-my-outreach-say) Lead with a fact about their business or building and ask one easy question. ### Email to a growing tenant[#](#email-to-a-growing-tenant) ``` Subject: {{business}}'s space in {{city}} Hi {{first_name}}, I work on office and medical leases in {{submarket}}. I noticed {{business}} has a few roles open and your reviews have nearly doubled since spring, which usually means the space gets tight. When is your current lease up? Even if it's two years out, I can send you what comparable space is going for nearby so you have a benchmark. [Name] · [Brokerage] · [License no.] · [Postal address] Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Phone opener for a retail tenant[#](#phone-opener-for-a-retail-tenant) ``` "Hi, could I speak to the owner? ... I'm [Name] with [Brokerage]. I cover retail on [corridor]. I'm not calling about a specific space today. When does your lease come up, so I can check in a year before with what's available?" ``` For email lists by category, our [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses) has more starting points. ## A worked example[#](#a-worked-example) An illustration, with invented response rates: a tenant rep broker draws a polygon around a suburban medical corridor and searches dentists, physical therapists, chiropractors, clinics and med spas. The export has 260 businesses. A pass over careers pages and review counts flags 45 with growth signals. Contacting all 260 over a quarter, at an assumed 20% who share a lease date, gives about 50 recorded expirations. If six of those fall in the next 18 months, that's six timed conversations a year from one corridor, and the list keeps working as the other dates come due. ## What rules apply to CRE outreach?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cre-outreach) Brokering leases or sales for others requires a state real estate license; most states don't issue a separate commercial license, but rules differ, so check with your state real estate commission. For email, CAN-SPAM applies to commercial email to businesses: honest sender and subject lines, a postal address, and an opt-out honored within 10 business days. Most business-to-business calls are exempt from the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule. Google's Maps terms restrict scraping Maps content and building lead lists from it, which is a contract matter separate from those laws. Read [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do commercial real estate brokers find tenants?[#](#how-do-commercial-real-estate-brokers-find-tenants) They list every business in the submarket or corridor they cover, by the property types they lease (office, retail, industrial, medical), then contact the decision-maker with a reason tied to the business's situation: growth, a lease coming up, or a better location. Tenant rep brokers also watch for businesses that are hiring, opening new locations or outgrowing their space. ### How do I find out when a business's lease expires?[#](#how-do-i-find-out-when-a-businesss-lease-expires) Ask. Lease expiration dates aren't public for most private leases. On the first call, ask when the lease is up and whether they have renewal options, record the date, and plan to talk again 12 to 18 months before it. Some commercial data subscriptions estimate lease dates, but confirm them with the tenant. ### How do I find the owner of a commercial property?[#](#how-do-i-find-the-owner-of-a-commercial-property-1) Look up the parcel in the county assessor or recorder records, which list the owner of record and often a mailing address. If the owner is an LLC, search the state's business entity records for its registered agent and, in some states, its managers or members. ### What are signs a business needs more space?[#](#what-are-signs-a-business-needs-more-space) Open job postings, a second location, a review count growing faster than its neighbors, long waits or "by appointment only" notes, and a move from a home address to a storefront. None proves a move is coming; each is a reason to ask. ### Can I use Google Maps to prospect for commercial real estate?[#](#can-i-use-google-maps-to-prospect-for-commercial-real-estate) For tenants, yes: Google Maps lists the businesses operating in an area with category, phone and website. It doesn't show property owners, lease terms or square footage, so combine it with county records for owners and your own notes for leases. Note that Google's Maps terms restrict scraping and building lead lists from Maps content. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

You type a trade and a place, such as "Plumbers in Miami, FL", and get a list of businesses with emails, websites, phone numbers, addresses and social links, typically 300 to 1,200 per list. Its distinctive extras are signals on each lead: email provider (Google, Outlook, Zoho), Facebook Pixel and Google remarketing, paid ads on Facebook, Instagram or Yelp, mobile-friendliness, Google Analytics and WordPress, plus review scores from Yelp, Facebook and Google. It claims a database of 65,000,000+ leads and exports to CSV, Excel and PDF. ## How much does D7 Lead Finder cost?[#](#how-much-does-d7-lead-finder-cost) D7 sells three monthly plans, priced by searches per day.

A list "usually returns between 300-1200 leads", depending on the niche and the place. Some third-party pages quote different daily limits or extra tiers; the limits above are the ones on D7's own plan page as of November 3, 2026. ## Why do people look for D7 Lead Finder alternatives?[#](#why-do-people-look-for-d7-lead-finder-alternatives) The reasons come from how D7 is built and priced, as described on its own pages. - **Searches are rationed per day.** Starter gives 10 searches a day, about 3,500 leads. A large territory takes several days of quota. - **Each list has a ceiling.** "Up to 1200 Business Leads per search." In a big metro, one search per trade won't cover everything. - **Verification isn't described.** Emails come with each lead, but checking the mailbox isn't mentioned. - **No drawn areas.** Searches are a keyword and a place. Polygon or radius search isn't described. - **The data source isn't stated.** D7's pages don't say where its leads come from, which matters if you need to explain your list's origin. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. Some people searching for D7 alternatives really want a people database (Apollo, ZoomInfo, Hunter) with named contacts and titles. That's a different job: those tools are strongest at companies whose staff are on LinkedIn, and weakest at owner-run local businesses. We compare that route in [local business databases compared](https://leadraft.co/blog/local-business-database). ## How do the D7 Lead Finder alternatives compare?[#](#how-do-the-d7-lead-finder-alternatives-compare) Here's the comparison at a glance, as of October 2026.

Leadraft runs keep going after you close the tab, and you can set a lead goal so a run stops at the number you want. ## What do 10,000 local leads cost in each?[#](#what-do-10000-local-leads-cost-in-each) Here's one job priced in dollars across the tools: 10,000 businesses in one metro, with website emails for about half of them (an assumption for the arithmetic; yields vary by trade) and every email checked before sending. Where a tool doesn't describe verification, we add a separate verifier at Outscraper's published $3 per 1,000 (about $15 for 5,000 emails). Prices as of October 2026, with Scrap.io and Apify re-checked November 3, 2026. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | What you'd buy | Verification | Total, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | D7 Lead Finder | Starter, $44.99 (about three days of its daily quota) | Separate, $15 | **$60** | | Leadraft | Growth, $49 (100,000 businesses, 5,000 checked emails) | Included | **$49** | | Outscraper | 9,500 paid places ($28.50) + 9,500 paid domains ($28.50) | Own verifier, $15 | **$72** | | G Maps Extractor | Lite, $19 (20,000 records) | Separate, $15 | **$34** | | Scrap.io | Basic, $49 monthly or $35 yearly (10,000 credits, city search only) | Separate, $15 | **$64** ($50 on yearly billing) | | Apify | 10,000 places ($30) + contacts enrichment ($20) at Starter-plan rates | Separate, $15 | **$65** | | Lobstr.io | Pro, $100 (10,000 results + 5,000 email credits exceeds Starter's 10,000) | Verify Emails price not stated | **$100** plus verification | Two things change these totals. If your territory is a county or a drawn shape, Scrap.io needs a higher plan (Professional for a county, Company for a polygon). And D7's quota is per day, so a month of Starter covers far more than 10,000 leads if you need them. Run your own numbers in the [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator). ## The alternatives, one by one[#](#the-alternatives-one-by-one) ### 1\. Leadraft: whole areas, checked emails[#](#1-leadraft-whole-areas-checked-emails) Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside a city, county, postcode, polygon, radius or KML file, searching the area in tiles to get past Google's per-search cap. In one measured run it found 457 Portland coffee shops against 230 from a single search; that's one city and one keyword, so treat it as an illustration ([coverage methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/coverage)). Emails come from each business's own website and are checked against the mail server. It doesn't detect pixels or ad activity. See [Leadraft vs D7 Lead Finder](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-d7-lead-finder). ### 2\. Outscraper: pay per task[#](#2-outscraper-pay-per-task) $3 per 1,000 places (first 500 free, $1 per 1,000 over 100,000), the same for emails and contacts, and a separate verifier. Prepaid credits never expire. A broad field set with reviews and photo counts. See [Leadraft vs Outscraper](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper). ### 3\. G Maps Extractor: cheap records, extension included[#](#3-g-maps-extractor-cheap-records-extension-included) Free for 1,000 records a month, then $19 to $149 for 20,000 to 500,000 records. A Chrome and Edge extension, an API and an MCP server. Emails aren't described as verified. See [Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor). ### 4\. Scrap.io: filters before export[#](#4-scrapio-filters-before-export) Filter by website, phone, mobile, email, rating, Facebook and Instagram before you spend credits, across Google, Apple and Bing Maps. $49 to $499 a month billed monthly, or $35 to $350 a month billed yearly, as of November 2026. See [Scrap.io alternatives](https://leadraft.co/blog/scrap-io-alternatives). ### 5\. Apify Google Maps Scraper: build your own[#](#5-apify-google-maps-scraper-build-your-own) Per-event pricing from $4 per 1,000 places on Free to $1.50 on Business, with add-ons for website contacts, reviews and more. Polygon search and country-wide splitting. Built for people who write code. See [Leadraft vs Apify](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify). ### 6\. Lobstr.io: pay per result[#](#6-lobstrio-pay-per-result) One credit per result, one more for emails when found; Starter is $20 for 10,000 credits. One search per ZIP code for full-area coverage, and a Verify Emails option. ## Where does Leadraft fit, and what doesn't it do?[#](#where-does-leadraft-fit-and-what-doesnt-it-do) Leadraft is built for complete local business lists with checked emails. That's where it differs from D7 on the points in this page: - **No daily quota.** Plans are a monthly allowance of businesses (25,000 on Starter, 100,000 on Growth), and runs keep going after you close the tab. - **Whole areas.** City, county, ZIP, polygon, radius or KML on every plan, searched in tiles past one search's cap. - **Checked emails included.** Every email is checked against the mail server and graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid; a checked-email credit is used only for Verified emails you take out. - **Pay once per business.** A business you've already paid for isn't charged again, and businesses outside your area or trade aren't charged. What Leadraft doesn't do: it doesn't detect Facebook Pixel, remarketing tags, paid ads or mobile-friendliness, and it doesn't pull Yelp or Facebook review scores. It records the website platform and links to 8 social networks. If your pitch depends on ad and tracking signals, that's a different data job from building the list. ## How do you switch from D7 Lead Finder?[#](#how-do-you-switch-from-d7-lead-finder) 1. **List your keywords and places.** The trades and cities you search in D7. 2. **Run one market in both.** Count unique businesses inside the area, not rows. 3. **Check the emails.** Count addresses that pass a mailbox check. Catch-all addresses are a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). 4. **Decide which signals you pitch on.** Leadraft gives you rating, review count, website platform and social links for each business. Pixel and ad data aren't part of a Leadraft row. 5. **Connect your sender.** Export CSV, or push to your sequencer. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best D7 Lead Finder alternative?[#](#what-is-the-best-d7-lead-finder-alternative) For local business lists, Leadraft: area search on every plan (city, county, ZIP, polygon, radius or KML), emails from each business's own website checked against the mail server, and one charge per business. 10,000 businesses with checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan. Other options compared on this page are Outscraper (pay as you go), G Maps Extractor (records plus a Chrome extension), Scrap.io (pre-export filters across Google, Apple and Bing Maps), Apify (a developer platform) and Lobstr.io (pay per result). ### How much does D7 Lead Finder cost?[#](#how-much-does-d7-lead-finder-cost-1) As shown at checkout for a US customer in October 2026: Starter $44.99 a month (10 daily searches, about 3,500 daily leads), Agency $54.99 (30 searches, about 10,000 leads) and Professional $119.99 (100 searches, about 30,000 leads, 5 sub-accounts). Prices are monthly and you can cancel any time. ### Is D7 Lead Finder free?[#](#is-d7-lead-finder-free) D7 gives 5 free searches a day with basic data, such as business name, ad activity and mobile-friendliness, but free results aren't exportable. Exports need a paid plan. ### Does D7 Lead Finder verify emails?[#](#does-d7-lead-finder-verify-emails) D7's homepage and plans page list business emails and email-provider detection but don't describe checking addresses against the mail server, as of October 2026. Run exports through a verifier before sending. Our [verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) explains what a check does. ### How many leads does D7 Lead Finder return per search?[#](#how-many-leads-does-d7-lead-finder-return-per-search) Up to 1,200 per search, according to its homepage.

No: Where to Look URL: https://leadraft.co/blog/does-google-maps-show-emails Summary: Google Maps and Google Business Profile have no email field. Here is what a listing does show, and the five places a local business's email actually lives. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Does Google Maps show email addresses? (No. Here's where to find them) Google Maps and Google Business Profile have no email field. Here is what a listing does show, and the five places a local business's email actually lives. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Guide No, Google Maps does not show email addresses, because the [Google Business Profile](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-business-profile) behind each listing has no email field: Google's own list of profile fields offers phone numbers, a website, chat and social links, and nothing for email \[1\]. Google's two data APIs agree: neither the Business Profile API's location record nor the Places API's place record has an email field \[2\]\[3\]. When a local business has a public email address, it's almost always on its own website, usually the contact page, the footer or the privacy policy. The rest of this page shows exactly what a listing contains according to Google, why so many sites say otherwise, where emails actually live, and how much of a list you can realistically reach by email. ## What does a Google Business Profile show?[#](#what-does-a-google-business-profile-show) A Google Business Profile shows the details the owner (or Google) has entered in a fixed set of fields, and email isn't one of them. According to Google's help page on editing a profile, these are the fields \[1\]: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Field | What Google's help page says | | --- | --- | | Business name | | | Categories | One primary category plus up to 9 more | | Address and pin | Hidden for some service-area businesses | | Service area | For businesses that travel to customers | | Hours | Regular, special and "more" hours | | **Phone number** | A primary number "plus up to 2 more phone numbers", mobile or landline, not fax | | **Chat** | Customers can message by text or WhatsApp; only for claimed and verified profiles | | **Website** | One full URL, including `https://`. Some categories can add order, reservation or appointment links | | **Social media links** | One link per platform: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, X and YouTube (select regions) | | Attributes, photos and videos | | | Business description | Up to 750 characters of free text | | Opening date | | | Menu, services, products | Limited availability by business type | The four contact fields are in bold. None of them is an email address. The closest thing to written contact is chat, which goes to the owner's phone or WhatsApp, not an inbox you can export. The developer side says the same. The Business Profile API's `Location` record, which owners and agencies use to manage listings in bulk, has `phoneNumbers` and `websiteUri` but no email field \[2\]. ## Does the Google Places API return emails?[#](#does-the-google-places-api-return-emails) No. The [Places API](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-places-api) is Google's official way to read listing data, and it has no email field either. The `Place` record's contact fields are `nationalPhoneNumber`, `internationalPhoneNumber`, `websiteUri` and `googleMapsUri`, plus the address fields; none is an email \[3\]\[4\]. If a developer tells you the API "gives emails", they mean their code visits the website afterwards. The same is true of every Google Maps scraper or lead tool that advertises emails. The email comes from a second step: reading the business's site, or another source. ## Why do some sites say Google Maps shows emails?[#](#why-do-some-sites-say-google-maps-shows-emails) Because they describe what their tool returns, not what Google Maps contains. Four claims come up again and again, and each has a simpler explanation: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Claim you'll read | What's actually happening | | --- | --- | | "Our Google Maps scraper extracts emails" | The tool reads the listing, follows the website link, and finds the email on the site. Maps supplies the website, not the email. | | "Some listings show an email address" | A few owners type an email into the 750-character description, or into a post. That's free text, not a contact field, and it's rare. | | "Owners can add an email in Business Information" | Google's list of editable fields has no email option \[1\]. Google does use an email for managing and verifying the profile, but that's the owner's account, and it isn't shown on the listing \[5\]. | | "About X% of Maps profiles show an email" | We've found no source for these percentages. With no email field, there's nothing for Google to display except free text. | If a vendor tells you its emails come "from Google Maps", ask which pages it reads and whether it checks the mailbox exists. The honest answer is "the business's website", and that's fine: it's where the email is. ## So where do local business emails actually live?[#](#so-where-do-local-business-emails-actually-live) On the business's own website, most of the time. Check these places in this order: 1. **Contact page.** The most common spot. Look for a `mailto:` link as well as visible text. 2. **Footer.** Many small-business sites put the email next to the phone number on every page. 3. **About or team page.** Owner-run firms often list the owner's own address here. 4. **Privacy policy or terms.** Required contact details often include an email, even when the contact page only has a form. 5. **The business's Facebook Page.** The About section often lists an email, and the website link on Maps sometimes points straight to Facebook. Directories like Yelp generally steer you to call, visit the website or message through the platform, so they're more useful for finding the website than the email. For the full set of methods, including what to do with a contact-form-only site, see [how to find the email address of any local business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses). ## How many businesses on Google Maps have an email you can find?[#](#how-many-businesses-on-google-maps-have-an-email-you-can-find) Fewer than you'd hope, so plan for it. Two things cut the number down: - **Not every business has a website.** Plenty of local businesses run on a Maps listing and a Facebook Page alone. Count the rows with a website before you count on emails. - **Not every website lists an email.** In Leadraft's runs, about 54% of business websites gave up an email address. That's an email _found_, before anyone checked the mailbox exists. So if your Maps list has 1,000 businesses and 800 of them have a website, a planning figure is 800 × 54% ≈ 430 found emails, and fewer once you've verified them. Treat that as an estimate, not a promise. It varies a lot by trade and town, and a market full of Facebook-only businesses will come in lower. ## Should I trust an email I find on a business website?[#](#should-i-trust-an-email-i-find-on-a-business-website) Trust it after you've checked it. Pages contain plenty of addresses that aren't the business: the web designer's email in the footer, `example@domain.com` placeholders, addresses buried in image file names. And a real address can still be a dead mailbox. Before you send, verify each address against the domain's mail server. You'll get one of three answers: the mailbox exists, the server accepts everything (a catch-all, which proves nothing), or the mailbox doesn't exist. Our guide to [how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) explains the check, and the post on [catch-all emails](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) covers how to treat the middle case. ## Is it legal to email businesses I found on Google Maps?[#](#is-it-legal-to-email-businesses-i-found-on-google-maps) Emailing a business address is legal in the US if you follow CAN-SPAM, which applies to business-to-business email too \[6\]. Collecting the data is a separate question: Google's Maps terms prohibit bulk downloading Maps content and using it to build business-listing databases or mailing lists for a substitute service \[7\]. Public business details, personal data and contract terms are three different things, and the rules differ by country. Our posts on [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and [whether scraping Google Maps is legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) cover the basics; for your specific case, get legal advice. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Does Google Maps show email addresses?[#](#does-google-maps-show-email-addresses) No. Google Maps shows what the Google Business Profile behind each listing contains, and Google's own list of profile fields has no email field. The contact options are phone numbers, a website, chat by text or WhatsApp, and social media links. The email almost always lives on the business's own website. ### Can a business add an email to its Google Business Profile?[#](#can-a-business-add-an-email-to-its-google-business-profile) Not as a contact field. Google's list of editable profile fields has no email option. Customers can call, visit the website, or use chat by text or WhatsApp where the business has turned it on. Some owners type an email into the business description, but that is rare. ### Does the Google Places API return email addresses?[#](#does-the-google-places-api-return-email-addresses) No. The Places API returns fields such as the website URL, phone numbers, rating and opening hours, but none of its response fields is an email. To get an email you have to visit the website the listing points to. ### What share of Google Maps businesses have a findable email?[#](#what-share-of-google-maps-businesses-have-a-findable-email) It depends on the trade and the town. In Leadraft's own measurements, about 54% of business websites gave up an email address, before verification. Businesses without a website, or with only a contact form, will have none to find. ### Why do some websites say Google Maps listings include emails?[#](#why-do-some-websites-say-google-maps-listings-include-emails) Usually because they describe what their scraper returns, not what Maps shows. Tools that advertise Google Maps emails visit the website on each listing and pull the address from there. A few owners also type an email into the free-text description, which is not a contact field. Google's field list has no email option. ### Do Google Maps scrapers that say they extract emails get them from Maps?[#](#do-google-maps-scrapers-that-say-they-extract-emails-get-them-from-maps) No. Because Maps has no email field, any tool that returns emails is visiting the business's website (or another source) after reading the listing. Ask which pages it reads and whether it checks the mailbox exists. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

An SMTP (mailbox) check asks about the address. What each proves, why some verifiers skip SMTP, how to tell. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Domain check vs mailbox check: what email verification actually proves An MX (domain) check proves a domain takes mail. An SMTP (mailbox) check asks about the address. What each proves, why some verifiers skip SMTP, how to tell. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 6 min Category Deliverability A domain check (MX lookup) proves only that a domain can receive email; it says nothing about whether the mailbox you want exists. A mailbox check (SMTP check) asks the domain's mail server about that exact address and is the only common test that can catch "no such user", except on catch-all servers, which accept every address. Many tools labeled "email verification" do only the domain check. That's fine for catching typos and dead domains, but not for cold email, where each address that doesn't exist becomes a bounce. ## What does each check prove?[#](#what-does-each-check-prove) The two checks answer different questions. A verifier that does both runs them in order: syntax, then the domain's MX records, then the SMTP conversation with the mail server. A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Domain check (MX) | Mailbox check (SMTP) | | --- | --- | --- | | Question it answers | Can this domain receive email? | Will this server accept mail for this address? | | How it works | DNS lookup of MX records (and A/AAAA as a fallback) | Connects to the mail server, names the address with `RCPT TO`, hangs up before sending | | Catches | Typo domains, expired domains, domains with a null MX | Those, plus mailboxes that don't exist at a working domain | | Misses | Every made-up or departed mailbox at a working domain | Certainty on catch-all servers; bounces after acceptance | | Detects catch-all? | No | Yes, by testing a made-up address | | Speed | Milliseconds | Seconds per address, with retries | | Runs from | Anywhere, including a browser | A server with port 25 open and a clean IP | | Sends an email? | No | No | So `jane@acmeplumbing.com` and `zzqx81@acmeplumbing.com` look identical to a domain check if `acmeplumbing.com` has mail servers. A mailbox check tells them apart, unless the server accepts both. ## What exactly does a domain check look at?[#](#what-exactly-does-a-domain-check-look-at) It queries DNS for the domain's MX records, which name its mail servers. Under RFC 5321, if a domain has no MX records but has an address record, the domain itself is treated as the mail server. A "null MX" record (RFC 7505) says the domain accepts no mail at all, so any address there is invalid. DNS checks can show more than MX. Our free [email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker) also reads SPF and DMARC records and shows who hosts the mail (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and others). Those tell you the domain is maintained and how it's set up. None of them reaches a mailbox. ## Why do some verifiers only check the domain?[#](#why-do-some-verifiers-only-check-the-domain) Because a domain check is easy and a mailbox check is hard to do well. - **Port 25 is blocked on common platforms.** Amazon EC2 blocks outbound port 25 to public addresses by default, and Google Compute Engine blocks connections to destination port 25 outside your network. A tool built on serverless or standard cloud hosting often can't talk to mail servers at all. - **IP reputation decides the answer.** Mail servers refuse or mislead connections from IPs they distrust, such as end-user ranges on Spamhaus's Policy Blocklist. A careless checker gets blocked and returns garbage. - **It's slow.** Each check is a network conversation with retries for greylisting (RFC 6647), which deliberately delays unknown senders with temporary `4xx` replies. - **Some providers discourage it.** Microsoft's Outlook.com sender policy prohibits "namespace mining," checking addresses without sending to them. Large providers often give answers that make every address look the same. None of that makes a domain check dishonest. It becomes a problem when it's sold as verification and the result is shown as "valid." ## How do I tell which check a tool runs?[#](#how-do-i-tell-which-check-a-tool-runs) Run three quick tests on any verifier, including ours: 1. **The fake-mailbox test.** Verify an address you know doesn't exist at a domain you control, such as `no-such-person-8137@yourcompany.com`. A mailbox check marks it invalid. A domain check marks it valid. (Make sure your own domain isn't catch-all first, or both will say yes.) 2. **The catch-all test.** Does the tool ever return "catch-all", "accept-all" or "risky"? A domain-only check can't detect catch-all, so it never shows that result. 3. **The unknown test.** Does the tool sometimes return "unknown" or "retry later"? Real SMTP checks hit timeouts and greylisting. A tool that always answers instantly with valid or invalid is probably not talking to mail servers. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Result you see | Likely check | | --- | --- | | Fake mailbox at a real domain marked valid | Domain only | | Never returns catch-all | Domain only | | Returns catch-all, invalid mailbox, and some unknowns | Mailbox (SMTP) | Then read how the tool grades catch-all. Folding catch-all into "valid" is the commonest way a verifier inflates its numbers. See [how to check if an email is catch-all](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-check-if-email-is-catch-all). ## When is a domain check enough?[#](#when-is-a-domain-check-enough) A domain check is enough when you only need to catch typos and dead domains: a sign-up form, a CRM cleanup before a mailing to people who opted in, or a first pass before a paid verifier so you don't pay to check addresses at domains that can't receive mail. For cold email, use a mailbox check, because a bounce rate built from nonexistent mailboxes hurts the reputation of every mailbox you send from. [What's a good cold email bounce rate](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) covers the thresholds. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the difference between an MX check and an SMTP check?[#](#what-is-the-difference-between-an-mx-check-and-an-smtp-check) An MX check looks up DNS to see whether a domain publishes mail servers, so it proves the domain can receive email. An SMTP check connects to that mail server and asks whether it would accept mail for the specific address, so it can catch mailboxes that don't exist. Only the SMTP check says anything about the person's address. ### Is an MX check enough to verify an email list?[#](#is-an-mx-check-enough-to-verify-an-email-list) No. It removes addresses at domains that can't receive mail, such as expired domains and typos, but every made-up or departed mailbox at a working domain passes. For cold email, where bounces hurt sender reputation, you need a mailbox-level check. ### Why do some email verifiers only check the domain?[#](#why-do-some-email-verifiers-only-check-the-domain) Because SMTP checks are hard to run well. They need outbound port 25, which major cloud platforms block by default, a sending IP with a clean reputation, careful pacing and retries. A DNS lookup is instant and works from anywhere, so some tools stop there and still call it verification. ### How can I tell if a verifier does a real mailbox check?[#](#how-can-i-tell-if-a-verifier-does-a-real-mailbox-check) Test it with an address you know doesn't exist at a domain you control (and that isn't catch-all). A mailbox check marks it invalid; a domain-only check marks it valid. Also look for a catch-all or accept-all result: a tool that never returns one isn't asking the mail server. ### Does a mailbox check guarantee an email won't bounce?[#](#does-a-mailbox-check-guarantee-an-email-wont-bounce) No. It shows the server accepted the address at the moment of the check. Catch-all servers accept every address, some servers bounce after accepting, and mailboxes close later. A mailbox check lowers bounce risk; it doesn't remove it. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The manual options (saved lists, Google Takeout), the tools, the columns to keep, and Sheets formulas to clean and dedupe. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to export Google Maps results to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets Google Maps has no export button. The manual options (saved lists, Google Takeout), the tools, the columns to keep, and Sheets formulas to clean and dedupe. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 7 min Category Guide Google Maps has no button that exports search results to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets. You have three routes: save places to a list and download it with Google Takeout (you only get the name, your note and a Maps link), copy results into a sheet by hand, or use a tool that reads the results and exports a full CSV or Excel file. Whichever route you take, clean the file the same way: dedupe on the place ID, split the address, drop closed and out-of-area businesses, and keep a short set of useful columns. ## Can I export Google Maps results without a tool?[#](#can-i-export-google-maps-results-without-a-tool) Yes, but only in a limited form. The two manual options are saved lists exported through Google Takeout, and copying by hand. ### Option 1: Saved lists and Google Takeout[#](#option-1-saved-lists-and-google-takeout) You can save places to a list in Google Maps and download your lists through Google Takeout. Google's help page gives the steps ([Google Maps Help](https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7280933?hl=en)): 1. In Google Maps, open each business and tap **Save**, then pick or create a list (for example, "Tulsa plumbers"). 2. Go to [takeout.google.com](https://takeout.google.com). 3. Click **Deselect all**, then check **Saved**. 4. Click **Next step**, choose the delivery method and file type, and click **Create export**. 5. Unzip the download. Each list is a separate CSV file in a folder called Saved. **What you actually get:** users report that each CSV has four columns, `Title`, `Note`, `URL` and `Comment` ([ruk.ca](https://ruk.ca/content/google-maps-warning-want-go-and-starred-places-are-not-same)). There's no address, phone, website, category or coordinates. The same source reports that starred places come out separately, as a GeoJSON file in the Maps (your places) export. Google doesn't document the exact columns, and the report is from 2019, so check your own export. That's fine for a short personal list. For leads, you'd still have to open every Maps link to copy the phone and website, and saving places one by one doesn't scale past a few dozen. ### Option 2: Copy by hand[#](#option-2-copy-by-hand) For under 50 businesses, copying is honestly the fastest: 1. Make a sheet with the columns in the table below. 2. Search Google Maps, open each result, and copy name, phone, website and address. 3. Paste the listing's URL too. It contains the place's coordinates and identifies the listing, which helps with duplicates later. ## What tools export Google Maps results to CSV or Excel?[#](#what-tools-export-google-maps-results-to-csv-or-excel) Most Google Maps tools export CSV and Excel. They differ in how much of the area they cover and whether they add emails. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool type | Export formats | Covers past ~120 per search? | Emails | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Generic table extension (e.g. Instant Data Scraper) | CSV, XLSX | No, only what you scroll | No | | Maps-specific extension (e.g. G Maps Extractor) | CSV, XLSX | Per search, by hand | Limited | | Cloud scraper or API (e.g. Apify, Outscraper) | CSV, XLSX, JSON | If configured to split the area | Add-on | | Places API to Sheets (Apps Script or code) | Sheets, CSV | Only if you tile; 60 per query | No | | Lead tool (e.g. Leadraft) | CSV, XLSX, Google Sheets feed, CRM push | Yes, if it tiles | Usually included | Two warnings. A single search, exported by any tool, still stops at about 120 results, which is why lists from one search look complete and aren't ([why the 120 cap happens](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). And Google's terms restrict exporting Maps content; read [our legal guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) before you build lists at scale. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) ## Which columns should I keep?[#](#which-columns-should-i-keep) Keep the columns you'll filter, personalize or dedupe on, and drop the rest. This is a good default for a lead list: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Why keep it | | --- | --- | | `place_id` (or Maps URL) | The only reliable key for deduping and for updating rows later | | `name` | | | `category` | Filter out the wrong trade; segment the message | | `address`, `city`, `state`, `zip` | Split, so you can filter by place | | `lat`, `lng` | Check a business is inside your area | | `phone` | Normalized to digits for matching | | `website` | Where emails come from | | `domain` | Derived from the website; dedupes chains and matches emails | | `rating`, `reviews` | Segment by reputation or size | | `status` | Drop permanently closed businesses | | `email`, `email_status`, `email_source` | If you add emails: the address, its grade (Verified, Accept-all, Invalid) and the page it came from | If you're importing into a sequencer like Instantly or Smartlead, map `name` to company, `email` to email, and `city` and `category` to custom variables for your first line. Our guide to [building a local lead list](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) covers how to use those fields well. ## How do I clean a Google Maps export?[#](#how-do-i-clean-a-google-maps-export) Clean it in this order. Each step removes rows that would waste credits or damage your sending reputation. 1. **Remove duplicates by place ID** (or Maps URL), not by name. 2. **Remove permanently closed** businesses. 3. **Drop businesses outside your area**, by ZIP code or coordinates. 4. **Drop the wrong trade** by checking the category column, not the keyword that found the row. 5. **Normalize phones and websites** so the same business matches across files. 6. **Flag emails on free providers** (Gmail, Yahoo) and emails whose domain doesn't match the website. Some are fine; many are the web designer's address. 7. **Verify every email** before you send, and treat catch-all results as a maybe. See [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained). ## What Google Sheets formulas help clean the data?[#](#what-google-sheets-formulas-help-clean-the-data) These formulas assume your data starts in row 2 with `place_id` in column A, `name` in B, `website` in C, `phone` in D, `email` in E and `zip` in F. Adjust the letters to match your sheet. **Flag duplicates** so you can review them before deleting (in a helper column, filled down): ``` =IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2, A2) > 1, "duplicate", "") ``` **Keep one row per place ID** in a new tab. `SORTN` with tie mode `2` returns the first row for each distinct value in the sort column: ``` =SORTN(Sheet1!A2:H, 9^9, 2, 1, TRUE) ``` **Count unique businesses:** ``` =COUNTUNIQUE(A2:A) ``` **Extract the domain from the website** (lowercase, without `www.`): ``` =IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(LOWER(C2), "^(?:https?://)?(?:www\.)?([^/?#:]+)"), "") ``` **Normalize a phone number to digits only:** ``` =REGEXREPLACE(D2, "[^0-9]", "") ``` **Flag free-mail addresses:** ``` =REGEXMATCH(LOWER(E2), "@(gmail|yahoo|hotmail|outlook|aol|icloud)\.com$") ``` **Check the email is on the business's own domain** (assuming the domain formula is in column G): ``` =IF(E2 = "", "", IF(REGEXEXTRACT(LOWER(E2), "@(.+)$") = G2, "own domain", "check")) ``` **Keep only rows in your ZIP codes**, with your list of ZIPs in a tab called `Zips`, column A: ``` =FILTER(A2:H, COUNTIF(Zips!A:A, F2:F) > 0) ``` ### And in Excel?[#](#and-in-excel) Excel has equivalents. Use **Data > Remove Duplicates** and tick only the place ID column, or `=UNIQUE()` in Microsoft 365. For the domain, `=TEXTBEFORE(TEXTAFTER(C2, "//", 1, , , C2) & "/", "/")` returns the host part of a URL, and you can strip `www.` with `SUBSTITUTE`. Excel's `COUNTIF` duplicate flag works exactly as above. ## How do I keep the sheet up to date?[#](#how-do-i-keep-the-sheet-up-to-date) Exports go stale. Businesses close, change phone numbers and open every month. Three habits help: - **Keep the place ID** in every row, so a fresh export can be matched against the old one. - **Re-run the same searches** monthly or quarterly, and only add businesses whose place ID is new. - **Keep a suppression tab** of businesses that asked not to be contacted, and check every new export against it with `COUNTIF`. Leadraft's [monitors](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) do the second step automatically and deliver only the new businesses. Its exports can also push to [Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist and HubSpot](https://leadraft.co/product/integrations) if you'd rather skip the spreadsheet. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Can you export Google Maps search results to Excel?[#](#can-you-export-google-maps-search-results-to-excel) Not directly. Google Maps has no button to export a list of search results. You can save places to a list and download it with Google Takeout, copy results by hand, or use a tool that reads the results and exports a CSV or Excel file. ### What does Google Takeout export for saved places?[#](#what-does-google-takeout-export-for-saved-places) Takeout's Saved option exports each of your lists as a CSV file. Users report the columns are Title, Note, URL and Comment: no address, phone, website or coordinates. Starred places are a separate export. ### How do I remove duplicate businesses in Google Sheets?[#](#how-do-i-remove-duplicate-businesses-in-google-sheets) Dedupe on the Google place ID or Maps URL, not the business name. In Google Sheets, SORTN with tie mode 2 keeps one row per value in the column you choose, and COUNTIF can flag repeats so you can review them first. ### Which columns should I keep when exporting Google Maps data?[#](#which-columns-should-i-keep-when-exporting-google-maps-data) Keep the place ID, name, primary category, address split into city, state and ZIP, latitude and longitude, phone, website, rating, review count and business status. Add email, email status and email source if you find emails on the business websites. ### Can I export more than 120 results from a Google Maps search?[#](#can-i-export-more-than-120-results-from-a-google-maps-search) Not from one search. Google Maps stops at about 120 results per search, so you have to search smaller areas and keyword variants, export each, and merge and dedupe the files. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find emails on Facebook business pages (and when not to) Where a Facebook Page shows its email, why many don't, what Meta's terms say about scraping, and a manual workflow for Facebook-only businesses. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 7 min Category Guide To find the email on a Facebook business page, open the Page and check its intro or About section under Contact info: Facebook lets a Page list an email address there, next to its phone number and social links. Many Pages leave it blank, so also check the Page's website link and recent posts. Do it by hand. Meta's terms prohibit collecting data from Facebook by automated means without its permission, and the address you find still needs verifying before you send. This guide covers where Pages show contact details, why many don't, what Meta's terms say, and a manual workflow for the businesses whose only online presence is a Facebook Page. ## Where does a Facebook Page show its email?[#](#where-does-a-facebook-page-show-its-email) In the Page's contact information. Facebook's help center describes the Contact info section as "Ways that people can get in touch with you, including social media links, phone number and email address" \[1\]. A website goes under Links, and the street address under Details. What you'll typically find on a small business Page: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Field | What to expect | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Phone | Common | Often the owner's mobile for small trades | | Website link | Common when the business has one | Go there for the email first | | Email | Sometimes | Optional; often a free mailbox | | Address | Common for storefronts | Service businesses may hide it | | Messenger button | Usual | The business's preferred contact route on Facebook | | Hours, category | Common | Useful for qualifying | On desktop, the contact details usually appear in the Intro panel on the left of the Page, or under the About tab. On mobile, they're under About or in the intro below the cover photo. ## Why don't more Pages show an email?[#](#why-dont-more-pages-show-an-email) Because it's optional, and many businesses would rather take messages through Messenger. Three patterns: 1. **Messenger-first.** The business answers Facebook messages and doesn't want another inbox. 2. **Email on the website only.** The Page links to a website that has the contact address. 3. **Abandoned Page.** It was set up years ago, the last post was in 2021, and nobody checks it. A Page with no email doesn't mean the business has no email. Check the website, then the Google Business Profile, then call. ## Can I scrape emails from Facebook Pages?[#](#can-i-scrape-emails-from-facebook-pages) Not without Meta's permission. The Facebook Terms of Service say: "You may not access or collect data from our Products using automated means (without our prior permission)" \[2\]. Meta's separate Automated Data Collection Terms say: "You will not engage in Automated Data Collection without first obtaining Meta's express written permission" \[3\]. The developer route doesn't help for lead lists either. Meta's Page Public Content Access feature, which lets an app read public Page content, "requires successful completion of the App Review process" and "is only available with business verification", and its stated allowed use is to "analyze and/or display posts and engagement on Pages" \[4\]. Two more reasons to stay manual: - **US email law.** CAN-SPAM treats harvesting as an aggravating factor. If a commercial email otherwise breaks the law, it's a further violation when the address was obtained by automated means from a site that posted a notice that it doesn't give out addresses \[5\]. - **Personal data.** Many small-business Pages list the owner's personal mailbox. In the UK, EU and Canada, that's personal data with stricter rules. See our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws). Tools sold as "Facebook page email scrapers" are working against Meta's terms. Using one is your risk, not the tool's. ## How do I find emails for Facebook-only businesses by hand?[#](#how-do-i-find-emails-for-facebook-only-businesses-by-hand) Start from a list of businesses, find the ones that only have a Facebook Page, then check each Page yourself. This works at the scale of tens to a few hundred businesses, which is often all you need, because Facebook-only businesses are a niche. 1. **Build the business list** from Google Maps for your trade and area. See [how to build a local lead list from Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation). 2. **Find the Facebook-only ones.** Look for listings with no website, or whose website field is a `facebook.com` link. Our guide to [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites) covers this filter in detail. 3. **Open each Page.** Check Contact info for an email. Copy it exactly. 4. **Check it's alive.** Is there a post in the last few months? Recent reviews? If not, the inbox may not be read either. 5. **Verify the address** before you send. Use an email verifier or the [email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker) to at least confirm the domain accepts mail. 6. **Log the source.** Note "Facebook Page" in your list's source column and the date you found it. If there's no email on the Page, the honest options are to call the number listed or to message the Page through Messenger with a short, relevant note. Don't guess a Gmail address from a name; there are too many possibilities. ## How do I use the facebook column in a Leadraft export?[#](#how-do-i-use-the-facebook-column-in-a-leadraft-export) Filter for rows that have a Facebook link but no email, then open those Pages by hand. That gives you a short list of businesses where the Page is worth checking. A Leadraft export includes a `facebook` column with the business's Facebook Page when its website links to one, alongside `instagram`, `linkedin`, `x`, `tiktok`, `youtube`, `yelp` and `whatsapp`. Here's the routine in a spreadsheet: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Filter or action | | --- | --- | | 1 | `facebook` is not empty | | 2 | `email` is empty | | 3 | Open each `facebook` link, check Contact info | | 4 | Paste any email into a new column, `email_manual` | | 5 | Verify it, and note "Facebook Page" as the source | If you also want the businesses whose Facebook Page _is_ their website, filter `website` for values containing `facebook.com`. The [lead list template](https://leadraft.co/blog/lead-list-template) has a layout with source and notes columns for this. When an email from a Page turns out to be on a free provider, treat it with care. Verification on large free mailbox providers is less reliable than on a business's own domain, so send in small numbers and watch bounces. ## Is it worth emailing a Facebook-only business?[#](#is-it-worth-emailing-a-facebook-only-business) Often, if you sell something they're clearly missing. A plumber whose only web presence is a Facebook Page is a natural prospect for a website, a Google Business Profile tune-up or online booking. A few rules keep it clean: - **Make it about their business**, not a generic pitch. Mention something from their Page. - **One address per business.** Don't email every address you find. - **Identify yourself, include your postal address and an opt-out**, and honor opt-outs within 10 business days. Those are CAN-SPAM's requirements for commercial email in the US \[6\]. - **Keep a do-not-contact list** and check it before every send. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I find the email address on a Facebook business page?[#](#how-do-i-find-the-email-address-on-a-facebook-business-page) Open the Page and look at its intro or About section, under Contact info. Facebook lets Pages list an email address there alongside a phone number and social links. If there's no email, check the Page's website link, recent posts and the Page's Messenger button, which is the business's preferred way to be contacted on Facebook. ### Why doesn't a Facebook Page show an email?[#](#why-doesnt-a-facebook-page-show-an-email) Because adding one is optional, and many businesses prefer Messenger or a phone call. Some list an email only on their website. Some Pages are old and unmaintained. No email on Facebook doesn't mean the business has none. ### Can I scrape emails from Facebook Pages?[#](#can-i-scrape-emails-from-facebook-pages-1) Meta's terms prohibit it without permission. The Facebook Terms say you may not access or collect data from Meta's Products using automated means without prior permission, and Meta's Automated Data Collection Terms require express written permission. The Page Public Content Access feature for developers requires App Review and business verification and is meant for analyzing and displaying posts, not lead lists. ### Is an email from a Facebook Page safe to send to?[#](#is-an-email-from-a-facebook-page-safe-to-send-to) Verify it first. Pages are often set up once and forgotten, so the address may be dead. Many small businesses list a free mailbox like Gmail, which verifiers can't always confirm. Send to one address per business, keep it relevant to the business, and honor opt-outs. ### How do I find businesses that only have a Facebook page?[#](#how-do-i-find-businesses-that-only-have-a-facebook-page) Start from a Google Maps list: businesses with no website listed, or whose website field is a facebook.com link, are often Facebook-only. In a Leadraft export, filter rows that have a facebook link but no email, then open those Pages by hand. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find businesses with low Google reviews (and what to offer them) Find local businesses with low ratings or few Google reviews: the manual Maps method, two spreadsheet filters, offer angles and the review rules to follow. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To find businesses with low Google reviews, search a trade in a city on Google Maps, export the listings with their rating and review count, and filter for two groups: businesses rated below their category's norm, and businesses with far fewer reviews than their competitors. Both are visible on the public listing, so you can see the problem before you pitch. Then offer something honest: a way to ask every customer for a review and reply to the ones they get. Google and the FTC both prohibit fake, paid or incentivized reviews, so never sell those. ## Why are businesses with low reviews good prospects?[#](#why-are-businesses-with-low-reviews-good-prospects) Because the gap is public, measurable and close to revenue. Google says reviews and ratings help a business stand out on Maps and Search, and a customer comparing three plumbers sees the stars before anything else. A business owner who sees 3.6 stars next to a competitor's 4.8 doesn't need convincing that it matters. There are two different problems, and they need different offers: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Segment | What it looks like | Underlying problem | Who buys a fix | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Low rating | 3.9 stars or below with 20+ reviews | Service problems, or unhappy customers are the only ones writing | Reputation management, customer experience consultants | | Few reviews | Well below the category median | Nobody is asking customers to review | Local SEO agencies, review-request software resellers | | Both | Low rating, few reviews | One bad review dominates | Either, with the review-request offer first | | No reply to reviews | Owner never responds | Nobody is managing the profile | Agencies offering profile management | The "few reviews" group is usually the easier sale. Asking more real customers fixes it, and the result shows up on the listing within weeks. ## How do I find businesses with low ratings on Google Maps manually?[#](#how-do-i-find-businesses-with-low-ratings-on-google-maps-manually) Search "\[trade\] in \[city\]" on Google Maps and scan the results list: each one shows the star rating and review count in brackets. Note the ones below your threshold. This works for a few dozen businesses in one category. 1. **Pick one category and one city.** Ratings only mean something against competitors, so don't mix dentists with car washes. 2. **Scroll the full results list** and write down each business, its rating and its review count. 3. **Work out the local norm.** Sort your notes by review count and take the middle value. That's the median for this category here. 4. **Open each candidate** and read the three most recent reviews. A 3.8 caused by one complaint about parking is a different prospect from a 3.8 caused by repeated no-shows. 5. **Check it's active:** hours listed, reviews in the last few months, a phone number that works. Two limits. Google Maps shows a capped number of results per search (around 120), so a big city needs several searches by neighborhood or ZIP code; see [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). And manual work gets slow past about 100 businesses. ## How do I filter a lead export by rating and number of reviews?[#](#how-do-i-filter-a-lead-export-by-rating-and-number-of-reviews) Export the businesses to a spreadsheet with `rating` and `reviews` columns, then add two formula columns. In these examples rating is in column G, reviews in column H and the data runs from row 2 to row 601. **Low rating with enough reviews to mean something:** ``` =AND(G2<>"", G2<4, H2>=20) ``` The `H2>=20` part matters. A 3.0 from two reviews is noise; a 3.7 from 140 reviews is a pattern. **Few reviews compared with competitors:** ``` =H2 < 0.25 * MEDIAN($H$2:$H$601) ``` This flags any business with less than a quarter of the median review count for the category. Change 0.25 to suit your market. **Rating gap to the local leader:** ``` =ROUND(MAX($G$2:$G$601) - G2, 1) ``` A gap of 1.0 or more is a strong line for an email: "You're at 3.8; the top-rated \[trade\] in \[city\] is at 4.9." Then filter both flag columns to TRUE and sort by review count, highest first. Established businesses with a low rating are the most valuable reputation prospects. For no-website and other listing gaps, combine this with the checks in [find businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites). ## Worked example: dentists in one metro[#](#worked-example-dentists-in-one-metro) Assumptions, for illustration only. These are not measured numbers: an export of 600 dental practices across one metro, median review count 85, median rating 4.7. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Filter | Rule | Businesses (assumed) | | --- | --- | --- | | All dental practices | none | 600 | | Low rating, 20+ reviews | rating below 4.0, reviews 20 or more | 42 | | Few reviews | under 25% of median, so under 21.25 | 96 | | Overlap (both) | low rating and few reviews | 11 | | Shortlist | low rating or few reviews, minus overlap counted once | 42 + 96 − 11 = 127 | Then qualify the 127 by hand: drop practices with no reviews in the last six months (possibly closed or moved), and chains whose marketing is run from head office. If that removes 30%, you have about 89 independent practices with a visible review problem, each with a specific number you can quote in your first message. ## What should I offer a business with low reviews?[#](#what-should-i-offer-a-business-with-low-reviews) Offer a process for collecting honest reviews from every customer and replying to them, not a number of stars. That is what Google's own guidance recommends, and it's the only offer that holds up. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Offer | What you do | Fits | | --- | --- | --- | | Review requests | Send every customer the business's review link or QR code after each job, by text or email | Few reviews | | Reply management | Write responses to new reviews, especially negative ones, within a set time | Low rating, no replies | | Policy cleanup | Help the owner report reviews that clearly break Google's rules, through Google's form | Spam or conflict-of-interest reviews | | Profile and local SEO | Categories, services, photos, hours, posts, alongside the review work | Both, as a bigger retainer | | Service feedback loop | Summarize the themes in recent complaints for the owner | Low rating with a real service problem | Google's Business Profile help tells businesses to ask for reviews with a link or QR code and to reply to reviews. It also says a business can report reviews that violate policy, and that Google, not the business, decides. Write your offer in that language. For a broader view of the local SEO sale, see [how to get local SEO clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-local-seo-clients). ## What are Google's rules on reviews? What you must never offer[#](#what-are-googles-rules-on-reviews-what-you-must-never-offer) Google prohibits fake engagement, paid reviews and incentives for reviews, and it prohibits businesses from discouraging negative reviews or selectively soliciting positive ones. In the US the FTC's rule adds legal penalties for some of the same conduct. Never offer any of the following: - **Buying or writing reviews.** Google's policy removes reviews "paid for, directly or in kind". The FTC's Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule (16 CFR Part 465), in effect since October 21, 2024, prohibits writing, buying or selling fake reviews, and courts can impose civil penalties for knowing violations. - **Incentives.** Google prohibits offering payment, discounts or free goods or services in exchange for reviews. Its Business Profile help calls this "strictly prohibited". The FTC rule specifically bans incentives conditioned on a positive or negative sentiment. - **Review gating.** Google prohibits selectively soliciting positive reviews. A flow that asks "were you happy?" and sends only the happy customers to Google is gating. Ask everyone. - **Staff and family reviews.** Google treats conflict-of-interest reviews as not allowed. The FTC rule also requires insiders' reviews to disclose the relationship in some cases. - **Suppressing honest reviews.** Threats or false accusations against reviewers are banned under the FTC rule. Use Google's reporting form only for reviews that really break the policy. If a prospect asks for any of these, say no plainly. It protects you too: an agency that sells fake reviews can be named in an enforcement action along with the client. ## What should my outreach say? Two scripts[#](#what-should-my-outreach-say-two-scripts) Both use fields from a Maps export. Google Maps doesn't list owner names, so don't guess one. ### Email: few reviews[#](#email-few-reviews) ``` Subject: {{business}} reviews Hi there, I was looking at {{category}} businesses in {{city}} on Google Maps. {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews; most of the practices near you have 80 or more. Your rating is fine. It's just that fewer people are being asked. I set up a simple review request: every customer gets your Google review link by text after their visit. No incentives, no filtering, just asking everyone. Most owners never get round to it. Want me to show you what it would look like for you? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email: low rating, no replies[#](#email-low-rating-no-replies) ``` Subject: replies on {{business}}'s Google reviews Hi there, {{business}} is at {{rating}} stars from {{reviews}} reviews, and I couldn't see replies on the recent ones. People read the replies as much as the stars, especially on the critical reviews. I write and post review replies for {{category}} businesses, and I send the owner a short monthly note on what customers keep raising. Worth a 10-minute call this week? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` Before you send either, open the listing and check the numbers you quote are still current. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to these businesses?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-these-businesses) In the US, commercial email to businesses falls under CAN-SPAM: honest headers and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Canada and the UK are stricter. Separately, Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content; that's a contract issue, distinct from email law and from whether the data is public. Get legal advice for your situation, and see [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and [is scraping Google Maps legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal). If you'd rather not build the list by hand, Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside the area you draw, with rating and review columns, and checks the emails it finds on each business's own website against the live mail server. You can try it on your own market on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing) or read how it works for [agencies](https://leadraft.co/solutions/agencies). Industry pages such as [dentist leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists), [med spa leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/med-spas) and [restaurant leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/restaurants) show what a typical export contains. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I find businesses with bad Google reviews?[#](#how-do-i-find-businesses-with-bad-google-reviews) Search a trade in a city on Google Maps and read the star rating and review count under each listing. To do it at scale, export the results to a spreadsheet with rating and reviews columns, then filter for a rating under about 4.0 with at least 20 reviews, or for a review count well below the category median. ### What counts as a low Google rating?[#](#what-counts-as-a-low-google-rating) There is no official threshold. Compare a business with its competitors in the same category and city. A 4.1 can be the weakest dentist in a suburb where everyone else is 4.7 or higher. Use the category median as your benchmark, not a fixed number. ### Can I offer to get a business more Google reviews?[#](#can-i-offer-to-get-a-business-more-google-reviews) Yes, if you mean helping them ask real customers. Google prohibits paid, incentivized or fake reviews and selectively asking only happy customers. The FTC's Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule, in effect since October 21, 2024, bans fake reviews and incentives tied to positive sentiment. Never offer to buy, write or filter reviews. ### Can I get bad reviews removed for a client?[#](#can-i-get-bad-reviews-removed-for-a-client) Only through Google's own process. A business can report reviews that break Google's policies, such as spam, off-topic or conflict-of-interest content, and Google decides. You can't remove an honest negative review, and promising to do so is a red flag for clients and regulators. ### Are businesses with few reviews good leads?[#](#are-businesses-with-few-reviews-good-leads) Often. A business with five reviews in a category where the median is 60 is hard to choose on Maps. Check it still operates (recent reviews, hours listed, phone answers) before you pitch, because some low-review listings are new and some are closing. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find businesses without a website (and sell them one) How to find businesses without websites on Google Maps, by hand or from an export, check they still operate, and reach them by phone, Facebook or in person. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To find businesses without a website, search a trade and a place on Google Maps and note every listing that has no Website button. For more than a few dozen, export the businesses to a spreadsheet and filter the website column for blanks, then flag links that point to facebook.com, which are "Facebook-only" businesses. Before you pitch, check each one still operates: recent reviews, listed hours and a phone that answers. Expect to reach most of them by phone, social message or in person, because a business without a website rarely has an email you can find. **The short version, in three steps:** 1. **Get every business in the trade and area** from Google Maps, not just the first page of results. 2. **Filter the website column** for blanks, Facebook or Instagram links, and old `http://` sites. 3. **Keep the ones that still operate** (recent reviews, listed hours, a phone that answers), then call, message or visit. ## How many businesses don't have a website?[#](#how-many-businesses-dont-have-a-website) Fewer than most pitches assume, and the share depends on the trade. In Clutch's 2025 small business survey, 83% of small businesses had a website, up from 64% in 2018, which leaves about 17% without one. Over a third of those without a site said they don't think one is relevant and rely on social media or marketplaces instead, and 28% of them have no online presence at all \[5\]. Three things to keep in mind when you see other figures: - **Surveys and listings measure different things.** A survey asks owners. A Google Maps export shows whether the _listing_ links to a website, and some businesses with a site never add it to their profile. - **Vendor figures vary widely.** Tools that sell "no website" lists, and databases that report how many of their records lack a website, publish numbers that range from a few percent to well over half. They count different populations, so don't compare them directly. - **Your own export is the real answer.** Count the blank website cells in your trade and city. Solo trades, mobile services and home-based businesses tend to have more blanks than clinics or offices, but check rather than assume. We haven't published a measured Leadraft figure for this yet. ## Why sell websites to businesses without one?[#](#why-sell-websites-to-businesses-without-one) Because the gap is visible and easy to explain. A customer who finds the business on Google Maps and taps through for prices, photos or services has nowhere to go. For a trade where one job is worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, a simple site pays for itself quickly, and that's the argument you'll make. Not every business without a site is a good prospect. Some are fully booked from referrals. Some are side businesses. Some have closed but still have a listing. Most of the work below is sorting the good ones from the rest. ## How do I find businesses without websites on Google Maps by hand?[#](#how-do-i-find-businesses-without-websites-on-google-maps-by-hand) Do it free, one listing at a time: 1. **Search** "\[trade\] in \[city\]" on Google Maps, for example "roofer in Columbus, OH". 2. **Open each result.** A listing with a website shows a Website button; a listing without one doesn't. 3. **Note the ones without**, with name, phone, address, rating and review count. 4. **Check the link on the ones with a Website button too.** If it opens a Facebook page, that business is Facebook-only. 5. **Zoom or move the map and search again.** One search stops after roughly 120 results, so a big city needs several searches by neighborhood or ZIP code. That's a few dozen businesses an hour. It's the right method for testing a niche before you spend anything. ## How do I find businesses without websites at scale?[#](#how-do-i-find-businesses-without-websites-at-scale) Work from an export. Whatever tool you use, you want one row per business with at least business, category, phone, website, rating, reviews and address. Then in Google Sheets or Excel, with the website in column F: Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you want | Formula or filter | | --- | --- | | No website | Filter column F for blanks, or `=F2=""` | | Facebook-only | `=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("facebook.com", F2))` | | Instagram or other social as the "website" | `=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("instagram.com", F2))` | | Link starts with http (hint only, confirm by opening) | `=LEFT(F2, 7)="http://"` | | Established businesses (20 or more reviews) | `=H2>=20` with reviews in column H | Combine them: "no website AND 20 or more reviews AND rating 4.0 or higher" is a short list of established, well-liked businesses with an obvious gap. Those are the best prospects in the set. Cover the whole area first, though. Filtering a list that only has Google's first page of results leaves out most of the market. Our post on [why Google Maps stops at about 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) explains how to split the area so nothing is missed. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) ## Where else can I find businesses without websites?[#](#where-else-can-i-find-businesses-without-websites) Google Maps is the fastest source, but not the only one. These public lists include many businesses that never built a site: - **State licensing boards.** Contractor, electrician, plumbing, cosmetology and barber boards publish license lookups, and some offer downloadable licensee lists. A licensed tradesperson with no website is a common pattern. - **New business filings.** A company formed last month rarely has a site yet. Our guide to [finding new businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area) lists where each state publishes them. - **City business licenses.** Many cities publish new and active licenses as open data, with name, address and business type. See [how to get a list of businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/list-of-businesses-in-my-area). - **Facebook and Instagram.** Searching a trade and city on Facebook turns up businesses that use a Page as their only web presence. Cross-check each one on Google Maps before you call, to confirm the business is still operating and really has no site. ## How do I check a business without a website still operates?[#](#how-do-i-check-a-business-without-a-website-still-operates) Check three things before you add it to your outreach list. A listing can outlive the business by years. - **Recent reviews.** At least one review in the last six to twelve months is a good sign. Reviews that stop dead in 2022 are not. - **Hours and status.** Hours listed, and no "Permanently closed" or "Temporarily closed" label. - **The phone.** Call it. A disconnected number answers the question for you. Optional, for high-value prospects: check the state's business registry for an active filing, and look at their Facebook page for recent posts. ## How do I reach a business that has no website or email?[#](#how-do-i-reach-a-business-that-has-no-website-or-email) Plan for no email. If a business has no website, there's usually nowhere public for an email address to be. You have four channels: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Channel | Best for | Watch out for | | --- | --- | --- | | Phone | Trades and offices that answer during the day | Call at quiet times (mid-morning, mid-afternoon), never during a lunch rush | | Facebook or Instagram message | Facebook-only businesses | Many pages are rarely checked; keep it short and personal | | In person | Shops, salons, restaurants near you | Go at a quiet hour, bring a printed one-page mockup, leave if they're busy | | Mail | Offices and clinics | Slow, but a printed mockup with their name on it stands out | A good phone opener is honest and short: ``` "Hi, is this {{business}}? My name is [Name], I build websites for {{category}} businesses around {{city}}. I noticed you don't have a website on your Google listing. Is that on purpose, or something you've been meaning to sort out?" ``` That question does the qualifying for you. "We're booked six weeks out" means move on. "I've been meaning to" means ask if you can send a mockup. For the Facebook-only segment, a message works well when it shows you've looked: ``` Hi, I came across {{business}} on Google Maps. Your listing links to this page instead of a website. I build simple sites for {{category}} businesses that pull in your reviews and make it easy to call or book. Would a free mockup be useful? No worries if not. ``` If a business does have a published email address, our [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses) include a no-website version. ## What should I offer and how should I price it?[#](#what-should-i-offer-and-how-should-i-price-it) Offer a small, fixed-price site with a clear result: a page per main service, the area they cover, their Google reviews, click-to-call and a quote form. Add a monthly plan for hosting and edits. Owners of small businesses want a total before they'll agree to anything, and a mockup with their own name and reviews on it is the most persuasive thing you can show. Our [guide to getting web design clients from Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-web-design-clients) covers offer angles, pricing structure and email scripts in more detail. ## What are the ethics and rules of this kind of outreach?[#](#what-are-the-ethics-and-rules-of-this-kind-of-outreach) Treat people the way you'd want a stranger selling to your business to treat you: - **Say who you are and why you're calling** in the first sentence. - **Accept the first no.** Add them to a do-not-contact list and don't contact them again on any channel. - **Don't fake familiarity.** No "following up on our conversation" when there wasn't one. - **Don't build a site they didn't ask for and then bill them,** or register their business name as a domain to pressure them. On the legal side, in the US the FTC says most calls to a business to solicit sales from that business are exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry provisions. That doesn't cover everything: autodialed calls, prerecorded messages and texts to mobile numbers have their own rules, and many small businesses use the owner's personal cell. Dial by hand, and don't mass-text. If you email, CAN-SPAM applies to business email: honest headers and subject, a postal address and an opt-out honored within 10 business days. Separately, Google's Maps Platform terms forbid exporting or scraping Maps content, which is a contract question. Public business data, personal data and contract terms are different things; see [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. If you'd rather not build the list one listing at a time, Leadraft finds every business in a trade for the area you choose, with the `website` and `website_platform` columns ready to filter. Try it on your own city on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing), or see how [agencies](https://leadraft.co/solutions/agencies) use it. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I find businesses without websites on Google Maps?[#](#how-do-i-find-businesses-without-websites-on-google-maps) Search a trade and a place on Google Maps, open each listing, and note the ones with no Website button. To do it at scale, export the businesses to a spreadsheet and filter the website column for empty cells, then also flag website links that point to facebook.com. ### Can I find businesses without websites for free?[#](#can-i-find-businesses-without-websites-for-free) Yes, by hand on Google Maps: it costs only time. A few dozen listings an hour is realistic. Tools save time when you need hundreds or thousands across a whole city or county. ### How do I contact a business with no website?[#](#how-do-i-contact-a-business-with-no-website) Usually not by email, because a business without a website rarely has a findable address. Use the phone number on the listing, a message to their Facebook or Instagram page, or a visit in person during a quiet hour. ### Why do some businesses not have a website?[#](#why-do-some-businesses-not-have-a-website) Common reasons: they get enough work from referrals, they rely on a Facebook page, they think a site is expensive, or they are very new or very small. The first reason means they may not want more work, so ask before you pitch. ### Is it ethical to cold-call businesses without websites?[#](#is-it-ethical-to-cold-call-businesses-without-websites) It can be, if you call at reasonable times, say who you are straight away, accept a no the first time, and keep a do-not-contact list. Don't use autodialers, prerecorded messages or mass texts, which carry their own legal rules. ### What percentage of small businesses don't have a website?[#](#what-percentage-of-small-businesses-dont-have-a-website) About 17%, according to Clutch's 2025 small business survey, which found 83% had one, up from 64% in 2018. The share varies by trade and survey. For your own market, count the listings with no website in a Google Maps export for one trade and city. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find who owns an LLC, state by state (15 states compared) Where to search LLCs in CA, TX, FL, NY, DE, NV, WY and 8 more states, whether members or managers are public, what annual reports show, and what it costs. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Guide To find who owns an LLC, search it in the business entity database of the state where it was formed, then read its filings. Some states list the managers or members on the formation document or the annual report: California, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona and Washington do, and Texas does through its franchise tax report. Others, including New York, Delaware, Georgia, Ohio and Colorado, show only a registered agent and an address. When the state record is silent, the business's own website, DBA filings and license lookups usually fill the gap. Below is a state-by-state table for the 15 states people search most, what each one makes public, and what to do when the trail goes cold. Facts are from each state's official pages, checked in November 2026. ## How do I look up who owns an LLC?[#](#how-do-i-look-up-who-owns-an-llc) Work from the state record outward. Six steps cover almost every case: 1. **Find the legal name.** The trading name on the sign ("Ramirez Heating") may differ from the LLC's name ("RHA Services LLC"). Check the website's terms, privacy policy or invoices. 2. **Search the formation state.** Use the official search in the table below. Note the entity number, status, formation date and registered agent. 3. **Open the filings.** The formation document, the annual or biennial report, or a statement of information may list managers or members. Many states show document images for free. 4. **Check foreign registrations.** An LLC formed in Delaware or Wyoming that operates in your state usually registers there as a "foreign" LLC. That second filing may list people the first one doesn't. 5. **Check the tax record (Texas).** In Texas, the Comptroller's taxable entity search shows the officers, directors or managers from the latest Public Information Report \[3\]. 6. **Confirm outside the filings.** Match the name against the business's website, a professional license or a news story. Filings can be years old. Don't stop at the registered agent. It's often a commercial agent service, a lawyer or an accountant. ## Which states show LLC owners? (15-state table)[#](#which-states-show-llc-owners-15-state-table) "Members/managers public" means a person's name appears in a filing anyone can search or view online. Fees are for the LLC's own periodic report, as listed on the state's pages in November 2026.

Ohio and Arizona have no LLC annual report at all, but Arizona collects names at formation. - **Texas hides it in the tax record.** The Secretary of State's record may show only the organizer and agent, while the Comptroller's record lists managers \[3\]. - **California's record is the most useful.** The Statement of Information names managers and a principal address, and the images are free \[1\]. ## What if the LLC is registered in Delaware or Wyoming?[#](#what-if-the-llc-is-registered-in-delaware-or-wyoming) Look for its foreign registration in the state where it actually does business. An LLC that operates in another state generally has to register there, and that state's rules decide what's public. A Delaware LLC running a restaurant in Phoenix registers with the Arizona Corporation Commission, which records members or managers \[11\]. If the LLC is a holding company with no operations (common for property), follow the property instead: - **County assessor or recorder:** the deed and tax records name the owner LLC and a mailing address. Sometimes the mailing address is the owner's office. - **Recorded documents:** deeds, mortgages and liens are signed by a person on the LLC's behalf. Many recorders let you view them online. ## Does the Corporate Transparency Act make LLC owners public?[#](#does-the-corporate-transparency-act-make-llc-owners-public) No. FinCEN collected beneficial ownership information (BOI) under the Corporate Transparency Act from January 2024, but it kept it in "a secure, non-public database" exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests \[14\]. In March 2025 an interim final rule exempted US companies from reporting. FinCEN's final rule, effective August 14, 2026, made that permanent, and FinCEN said it would delete BOI already reported about US persons \[15\]\[16\]. As of November 2026, then, there's no federal list of LLC owners, public or otherwise, for domestic companies. New York's separate LLC Transparency Act, in force since January 1, 2026, applies only to LLCs formed outside the United States that register in New York, and its data is not public \[17\]. ## What can I find besides the state record?[#](#what-can-i-find-besides-the-state-record) Plenty. Filings tell you who set the LLC up; the business itself tells you who runs it today. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Source | Tells you | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | The business's website | Owner's name, often in About or Team | The most current, when it's updated | | County DBA / assumed name filings | The owner behind a trade name | Strong for sole proprietors | | Professional license lookup | The license holder or qualifier | Contractors, trades, health, real estate | | BBB profile | "Business Management" names and titles | BBB doesn't verify third-party information | | Local news, chamber pages | Founder names with context | Can be old | | A phone call | Who decides, and how to reach them | Often fastest | Our guide on [how to find the owner of a business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-the-owner-of-a-business) covers each of these in detail. ## Is it legal to look up who owns an LLC?[#](#is-it-legal-to-look-up-who-owns-an-llc) Yes. State business filings are public records, published so people can see who they're dealing with. What you do with the name is where rules apply. If you're contacting owners for sales: - Contact them through the business, not at a home address from a filing. - In the US, CAN-SPAM covers business email: identify yourself, include your postal address and honor opt-outs within 10 business days \[18\]. - Calls and texts have their own rules, which are stricter for mobile numbers. Our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) covers the main ones, and the [owner email guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-business-owner-email) covers getting from a name to an address you can verify. This isn't legal advice. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I find out who owns an LLC?[#](#how-do-i-find-out-who-owns-an-llc) Search the LLC in the business entity database of the state where it was formed, then open its filings. Depending on the state, the formation document or annual report lists managers or members. If the state shows only a registered agent, check the business's website, DBA records, license lookups, BBB and local news, or the states where the LLC is registered to do business. ### Which states list LLC members or managers publicly?[#](#which-states-list-llc-members-or-managers-publicly) Among the 15 states compared here, California, Texas (through the Comptroller's Public Information Report), Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona and Washington list managers or members in public filings, and Illinois lists managers. New York, Delaware, Georgia, Ohio, Colorado and generally Wyoming do not. Pennsylvania's annual report names at least one governor. ### Can I find the owner of an anonymous LLC?[#](#can-i-find-the-owner-of-an-anonymous-llc) Sometimes. A Delaware or Wyoming LLC that operates in another state usually has to register there as a foreign LLC, and that state's filings may list managers. Otherwise, look at the business itself: its website, licenses, DBA filings, property records and the person who answers the phone. ### Does the Corporate Transparency Act make LLC owners public?[#](#does-the-corporate-transparency-act-make-llc-owners-public-1) No. Beneficial ownership information reported to FinCEN was always kept in a non-public database, and FinCEN's final rule, effective August 14, 2026, exempts US companies from reporting at all. FinCEN said it would delete information already reported about US persons. ### Is an LLC's registered agent the owner?[#](#is-an-llcs-registered-agent-the-owner) Sometimes, in a small LLC where the owner serves as their own agent. Often it's a commercial registered agent service, a lawyer or an accountant. If many LLCs share the agent's name and address, it isn't the owner. ### How much does an LLC search cost?[#](#how-much-does-an-llc-search-cost) Usually nothing. Most states let you search and view basic records for free. Texas charges $1 per search on SOSDirect, and Delaware's name search is free but charges $10 for status and $20 for more detailed information on an entity. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find new businesses in your area before your competitors do Where new businesses show up first: state LLC filings, county DBA notices, city license data and new Google Maps listings, with real counts and a routine. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 16 min Category Guide New businesses show up in public records before they show up anywhere else. To find them, watch three sources: your state's new business filings (the earliest signal, but noisy), your city or county's new licenses and DBA filings, and new listings on Google Maps for the trades you sell to (later, but these are businesses actually open to customers). Check them on a schedule, compare against what you saw last time, and contact the new ones while they're still choosing suppliers. This guide shows where each signal appears, with real counts from public data, and a routine you can run every week. ## Why are new businesses such good prospects?[#](#why-are-new-businesses-such-good-prospects) Because they're buying almost everything at once, and they haven't picked anyone yet. A business in its first months needs insurance, payroll, a payment system, signage, a website, a phone line, an accountant, supplies and customers. Every one of those is a decision someone is making for the first time. There are a lot of them. The Census Bureau's Business Formation Statistics counted **534,947 business applications in September 2026** (seasonally adjusted), up 0.5% from August \[1\]. Applications are measured from requests for an Employer Identification Number, so they're a leading indicator: many never hire or open a location. A firmer number is the Bureau of Labor Statistics count of **323,000 new establishments in the first quarter of 2026** \[2\]. Two cautions before you get excited: - **Not all of them last.** In the BLS's tracking of establishments born in 2013, 79.6% were still operating a year later and 50.6% after five years \[3\]. About one in five new establishments doesn't make it through year one. - **Not all of them need you yet.** A business that filed an LLC last week may be a year from opening. Match your timing to what you sell. ## When does a new business appear in each source?[#](#when-does-a-new-business-appear-in-each-source) Each source catches a business at a different point in its life. This is roughly the order, though it varies by state, city and trade: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Stage | Where it shows up | What you get | Noise | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1\. Entity formed | State business filings (LLC, corporation) | Legal name, filing date, registered agent or principal address | High: holding companies, side projects, agent addresses | | 2\. Trade name registered | County DBA / fictitious business name filings | The trading name and owner name | Medium | | 3\. Licensed to operate | City business license or tax registration | Name, location, business activity, start date | Medium: renewals, home businesses | | 4\. Visible to customers | Google Maps listing (possibly 90 days before opening) | Category, address, phone, website, hours | Low: these serve the public | | 5\. Running | Website, social pages, reviews | Email, owner name, signs of activity | Low | If you sell something needed _before_ opening (fit-out, signage, POS, insurance, payroll setup), stages 1 to 3 matter most. If you sell marketing, reviews, or anything that needs a running business, stage 4 is the sweet spot. ## How do I find new business filings with the Secretary of State?[#](#how-do-i-find-new-business-filings-with-the-secretary-of-state) Every state's Secretary of State keeps a register of corporations and LLCs. Some publish new filings as data you can download and filter: - **New York** publishes [Daily Corporation and Other Entity Filing Data](https://data.ny.gov/d/k4vb-judh), covering filings processed in the previous 30 days, with entity type, county and filer details \[4\]. In the 30 days to October 30, 2026 it held 17,525 Articles of Organization (new LLCs) and 6,384 Certificates of Incorporation. It also held 47,066 dissolutions by proclamation, a reminder that the register churns both ways. - **Colorado** publishes [Business Entities in Colorado](https://data.colorado.gov/d/4ykn-tg5h), every entity since 1864, with a formation date and principal address \[5\]. Filtering on September 2026 returns 11,465 new domestic LLCs. - **Florida's** Division of Corporations offers free [daily data files](https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/other-services/data-downloads/daily-data/) of each workday's filings, plus quarterly downloads. - **Other states** vary: some sell weekly or monthly new-filing lists, others offer a name search only. Texas SOSDirect charges $1 per search \[6\], and its bulk orders include a weekly file of new formations for $20. The state-by-state table below has the details. To turn a filings feed into leads: 1. **Filter by county or ZIP** of the principal address. 2. **Drop registered-agent addresses.** If dozens of new entities share one address, it's a filing service. 3. **Drop names that are obviously holding entities** ("123 Main St LLC", "XYZ Holdings"). 4. **Look for a trade in the name** ("Ramirez Plumbing LLC", "Bright Smile Dental PLLC") and keep those. 5. **Watch for them later** on Google Maps, where they'll show up with a phone and website once they open. ## Where can I search new business filings in each state?[#](#where-can-i-search-new-business-filings-in-each-state) Every state has a free name search, but only some publish new filings as a list you can download. In our check of all 50 states and DC on November 3, 2026, **13 states publish a list or file limited to new filings** (marked **New filings** below), **15 more publish their whole registry** with a formation date you can filter on, and for the other 23 we found only the name search. Free options with new entities ready to filter: Florida, New York, Oregon and Rhode Island (new-filings files), and Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Pennsylvania and DC (full registries). How to read the table: - **"Not found"** means we couldn't find an official list or bulk product on the state's own site. It doesn't prove one doesn't exist; call the filing office if your state matters to you. - **Costs** are as shown on the state's page or in its published fee rules. "Price not shown" means the product exists but the price isn't public. - **†** The site answered but blocked our automated check, so we couldn't confirm the page loads. The link is the search address the state uses. - Third-party resellers (OpenCorporates, scraping marketplaces and list vendors) are left out.

For county DBA filings and city licenses, which are often fresher than state filings, see the next section and our guide to [lists of businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/list-of-businesses-in-my-area). ## How do I find new DBA and city business license filings?[#](#how-do-i-find-new-dba-and-city-business-license-filings) **County DBA filings.** When a business trades under a name other than its legal one, it usually files a "doing business as" (DBA), assumed name or fictitious business name statement. In many states that's done at the county. Los Angeles County, for example, has an online search covering statements filed from February 2024 onward \[7\]. In California, new fictitious business name statements also have to be published in a local newspaper, so the legal notices section is a long-running source of new-business names. **City licenses and tax registrations.** Cities that publish business licenses as open data make this easy, because each record has a start or issue date: - **Chicago's** [Business Licenses](https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/r5kz-chrr) dataset marks new licenses with the application type "ISSUE". It recorded 621 new licenses issued in September 2026 \[8\]. - **Los Angeles's** [Listing of Active Businesses](https://data.lacity.org/d/6rrh-rzua) has a location start date. 1,681 business locations had a September 2026 start date in the October 2026 update \[9\]. Check dates before trusting them: we also saw start dates in 2027. Smaller cities often post a monthly "new business licenses" PDF or list on their website. Search "\[city\] new business license list". ## How do I find newly opened businesses on Google Maps?[#](#how-do-i-find-newly-opened-businesses-on-google-maps) Google Maps is where a new business becomes visible to customers, so it's the best source for anyone who sells to businesses that are open. Two details from Google's own help pages are useful \[10\]: - A business can set a future **opening date** up to a year ahead, and its profile then shows up on Google **90 days before** that date. - After it opens, the profile shows a **"Recently opened"** tag for 90 days. There's no public filter for "listed this week". The reliable method is to repeat the same searches on a schedule and compare: 1. **Save a baseline.** Search your trades across your area and keep the list, with each listing's place ID or at least its phone and address. 2. **Re-run the same searches** every week or month, with the same keywords and the same area. 3. **Diff against the baseline.** Anything you haven't seen before is either newly listed or newly found by your search. Look for "Recently opened" and few or no reviews to tell them apart. 4. **Add the new ones to your baseline,** so next time only the newer ones come up. A business that's new to your list isn't always new to the world: it may have been there all along and only appeared because Google ranked it differently. A first review in the last month, an opening date on the profile or a matching state filing tells you it's genuinely new. ## What other signals show a business is about to open?[#](#what-other-signals-show-a-business-is-about-to-open) Filings and listings aren't the only clues. These show up in the weeks before an opening, often before the business is on Google Maps: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Signal | Where to look | What it tells you | | --- | --- | --- | | Job posts | Indeed, LinkedIn, the business's own site, "now hiring" posts on Facebook | A new location is staffing up; the business has a budget and a date | | Building and sign permits | Your city or county permit portal or open data (search "\[city\] building permits") | A fit-out or new sign at a commercial address, with the applicant's name | | Liquor license applications | Your state's alcohol control board; many post pending applications | A restaurant or bar opening, usually months ahead | | Health permits | County health department inspections or new-permit lists | Restaurants, cafes, food trucks and salons getting ready to open | | "Coming soon" signs and leases | Driving the area; commercial real estate listings marked leased | A storefront with a tenant, before the name is public | | Local business news | Business journals, local news "now open" columns | Openings with owner names and dates | | Chamber of commerce | "New members" lists and ribbon cuttings | Businesses actively looking for local connections | Permits and licenses are the strongest of these, because they name a business at an address. Job posts and "coming soon" signs need a second check before you reach out. ## Should I buy a new business list?[#](#should-i-buy-a-new-business-list) Sometimes, if you need national volume and can't spend the time. List sellers compile new businesses from public filings and their own data: - **Experian** says it adds "more than 200,000 new businesses" to its new business list each month, combining its business credit database with public sources \[12\]. - **Salesgenie** (Data Axle) sells new business lists delivered "daily, weekly, or even monthly", priced by quote \[13\]. Neither publishes prices on those pages, so ask for a count and a quote for your area and trades, and ask how "new" is defined (a new filing, a new listing, or new to their database). Then test a sample of 20 against Google Maps and your state's filings before you buy more. For one city or county, the free sources above usually cover the same ground. ## A weekly routine you can copy[#](#a-weekly-routine-you-can-copy) For one trade in one county, this takes about an hour a week by hand: - [ ] **Monday:** download new state filings for your county; keep entities with a trade in the name. - [ ] **Monday:** check the city license data or monthly list for new licenses in your trades. - [ ] **Tuesday:** re-run your Google Maps searches and diff against last week's list. - [ ] **Tuesday:** match the new Maps listings against the filings you've been watching. - [ ] **Wednesday:** find a website and email for each (see [how to find the email of any local business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses)). - [ ] **Wednesday:** send a short, specific note or make a call. Add everyone to your baseline. ## How should I approach a brand-new business?[#](#how-should-i-approach-a-brand-new-business) Briefly, and with something useful. New owners are busy and they're being pitched by everyone who reads the same filings you do. - **Lead with the timing.** "Saw you opened on Fifth Street last month" beats a generic opener. - **Offer something for the stage they're at.** A checklist, a launch discount or a quick audit lands better than a long pitch. - **Be patient.** Many won't buy in month one. Stay in touch politely and they'll remember who was helpful early. - **Follow the law.** In the US, CAN-SPAM applies to business email: honest headers and subject lines, a postal address and a working opt-out \[11\]. Sole traders' addresses are personal data in the UK, EU and Canada, where stricter rules apply. Our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) covers the basics; get advice for your situation. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How can I find a list of new businesses in my area?[#](#how-can-i-find-a-list-of-new-businesses-in-my-area) Check three places: your state's new business filings (many Secretaries of State publish them as data), your city or county's new business licenses and DBA filings, and new listings on Google Maps for the trades you sell to. State filings come first but are noisy; Maps listings come later but are businesses that actually serve customers. ### Where can I find new LLC filings?[#](#where-can-i-find-new-llc-filings) On your Secretary of State's website. Some states publish them as open data: New York's Department of State posts the last 30 days of filings, Colorado publishes every entity with its formation date, and Florida offers free daily data downloads. Others only offer a search. ### How many new businesses start each month in the US?[#](#how-many-new-businesses-start-each-month-in-the-us) The Census Bureau counted 534,947 business applications in September 2026, seasonally adjusted. Applications are a leading indicator, not openings: many never hire anyone or open a location. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 323,000 new establishments in the first quarter of 2026. ### Does Google Maps show newly opened businesses?[#](#does-google-maps-show-newly-opened-businesses) Yes. A business can set a future opening date on its Google Business Profile, and Google says the profile then appears 90 days before that date. After opening, the profile shows a Recently opened tag for 90 days. There's no public 'new this week' filter, so you find them by repeating searches and comparing. ### Why are new businesses good prospects?[#](#why-are-new-businesses-good-prospects) They're making many buying decisions at once (insurance, payroll, payments, signage, a website, marketing) and haven't settled on suppliers yet. The catch is that about one in five new establishments doesn't survive its first year, so qualify before you invest a lot of time. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Free Google Maps scrapers: what you actually get for free (2026) Every free Google Maps scraper tier compared with limits as of October 2026, plus free manual methods, open-source GitHub options and the hidden costs. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 7 min Category Comparison You can scrape Google Maps for free, but only in small amounts. For a free list of local businesses you can actually email, we recommend **Leadraft's free plan**: 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, no card (we make Leadraft). As of October 2026, the biggest raw allowance is **Bright Data's 5,000 records a month**, without emails, and **Outscraper** gives 500 places, 500 contact lookups and 25 email checks every 30 days. **Open-source scrapers** on GitHub cost nothing to download but need your own servers, proxies and upkeep. Doing it by hand is free and slow. The real question is what "free" leaves out: usually emails, verification, coverage past one search, or the right to export. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Free-tier limits come from each vendor's own pages, checked in October 2026 and linked in the Sources._ ## Which Google Maps scrapers have a free tier?[#](#which-google-maps-scrapers-have-a-free-tier) Most do, but the limits differ in kind, not only in size. Some cap records, some cap exports, and some cap time. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Free allowance (October 2026) | Emails included? | Can you export? | Card needed? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leadraft | 500 businesses + 50 checked emails a month | Yes, checked against the mail server | Yes | No | | Bright Data | 5,000 records a month | Not described | Yes | No | | G Maps Extractor | 1,000 records a month (cloud), 1,000 (extension), 20 API requests | Emails "scraped from the internet", not described as verified | Yes | No | | Apify Google Maps Scraper | $5 of usage a month: about 1,250 places, or about 830 with website contacts | Website contacts at $2 per 1,000 places | Yes | Not stated | | Outscraper | 500 places, 500 contacts, 25 email verifications, every 30 days | Yes, up to 500 lookups and 25 checks | Yes | Not stated | | Octoparse | Free plan: 10 tasks, up to 50,000 rows a month exported; Maps templates get a 14-day trial with $2 of credit | Separate Email Finder template | Yes, up to 10,000 rows per export | Not stated | | Lobstr.io | 100 credits a month (100 Maps results) | Email add-on, +1 credit | Capped at 30 rows | Not stated | | Scrap.io | 7-day trial, up to 100 leads | Email field | Within the trial | Not stated | | PhantomBuster | Trial: 2 hours of execution time, 50 email credits | Separate crawler phantom | Capped at 10 rows | Not stated | | D7 Lead Finder | 5 searches a day | Basic data only | No, not exportable | Not stated | "Not stated" means we didn't find it on the pages we reviewed. ## What does a free tier get you in practice?[#](#what-does-a-free-tier-get-you-in-practice) For a realistic test, say 500 dentists in one city, with emails you can send to. Here's how far each free tier gets you, as of October 2026. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | 500 businesses | Their emails | Emails checked | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leadraft | Yes | Found on each site | Up to 50 Verified | | Outscraper | Yes | Up to 500 domains | 25 | | Apify | Yes, about $2 of the $5 | About $1 more for website contacts | Not on website emails | | G Maps Extractor | Yes | As found on the web | Not described | | Bright Data | Yes, with 4,500 records to spare | Not described | No | | Octoparse | Within the $2 template credit, about 1,000 lines | Separate template | No | | Lobstr.io | 100 of them | +1 credit each | Not described for the free plan | | PhantomBuster | 10 rows exportable | Second phantom | No | | D7 Lead Finder | Viewable, not exportable | n/a | No | So for a one-off test, the free tiers are genuinely useful. For an ongoing campaign, every one of them runs out within days. ## How can you get Google Maps data for free without a scraper?[#](#how-can-you-get-google-maps-data-for-free-without-a-scraper) You have three free routes, each with a catch. ### 1\. Copy it by hand[#](#1-copy-it-by-hand) Search Google Maps, open each listing, and copy the name, phone, website and address into a spreadsheet. Then visit each website for an email. It's slow, but it's accurate and teaches you the market. For a list of 50, it's often the right call. Our guide to [building a local lead list from Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) walks through the steps. ### 2\. Use the Google Places API's free usage[#](#2-use-the-google-places-apis-free-usage) Google's official API gives each SKU a monthly free cap. The catch is which SKU you hit. Asking for phone number, website or rating puts a Text Search request on the Enterprise SKU: 1,000 free a month, then $35 per 1,000. And Text Search "returns a maximum of 60 results across all pages", so you need many queries per city. You also need a billing account, and the API has its own terms on storing results. See [Places API vs scraping](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-places-api-vs-scraping). ### 3\. Look for official business lists[#](#3-look-for-official-business-lists) Some cities and states publish business license or registration lists, and many public libraries give members free access to business databases. These don't come from Google Maps, often lack emails and websites, and vary by place, but they're free and official. Ask a reference librarian. ## What about open-source Google Maps scrapers on GitHub?[#](#what-about-open-source-google-maps-scrapers-on-github) They're real, popular and free to run. As of October 2026: - **gosom/google-maps-scraper**: MIT license, about 7,100 stars, updated in October 2026. Extracts name, address, phone, website, rating, review count, coordinates, reviews and emails. - **omkarcloud/google-maps-scraper**: MIT license, about 3,850 stars, updated in October 2026. The repository also promotes a hosted version with its own free plan. What you take on with any open-source scraper: - **Maintenance.** Google changes its pages. When a scraper breaks, you wait for a fix or write one. - **Blocking.** Heavy use from one IP gets slowed or blocked, so serious use means paying for proxies. - **The result cap.** You still have to split the area into many searches to get past about 120 results each. - **Emails and verification.** Some projects crawl websites for emails; checking them against the mail server is usually up to you. - **Servers and time.** Free software, paid hours. Stars and recent updates are a fair sign a project is alive, not a guarantee it works today. Test on a small search first. ## What are the hidden costs of a free Google Maps scraper?[#](#what-are-the-hidden-costs-of-a-free-google-maps-scraper) The cost moves from the invoice to somewhere else. These are the ones that bite. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) 1. **Missing businesses.** One search stops at about 120 results. In a big city that's a fraction of the market, so you're paying in coverage ([why it stops](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). 2. **No emails.** Google Maps rarely lists one. Without website crawling you have names and phone numbers, not an email list. 3. **Unchecked emails.** Addresses scraped from websites include dead mailboxes, placeholders and the web designer's footer address. Bounces hurt your sender reputation, and Google's sender guidelines ask bulk senders to keep spam rates low. See [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained). 4. **Export caps.** A free tier that shows 500 rows but exports 10 or 30 is a demo, not a list. 5. **Your time.** Building searches, merging files, deduping by listing and checking areas by hand. 6. **Infrastructure.** Proxies and servers for open-source scrapers. 7. **Terms.** Google's Maps terms bar mass downloading and using Maps content to build mailing or telemarketing lists. Free tools don't change that. Business facts, personal data and contract terms are separate questions; get legal advice for your use.

It's the free tier where the emails are already checked against the mail server, so a test campaign measures your message, not your bounce rate. Here's what Leadraft does in the situations people usually bring to a free tool. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Situation | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | A test of a cold-email campaign | 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, no card | | A whole city, not one search's worth | Searches the area in tiles past the 120-result cap, on Free too | | A specific area | Polygon, radius and KML search are included on Free | | A list of under 50 you'd rather copy by hand | Not needed; that's a fine job to do yourself | | Raw records for analysis, with no outreach | Not what Leadraft does; it's built for lead lists with emails | | A browser extension | Not what Leadraft does; it runs in the cloud | When you outgrow free, compare paid tools on the cost per verified email, not per row. Leadraft's Starter plan is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails, charged once per business. Our [best Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-google-maps-scrapers) comparison works out the full cost for 5,000 businesses. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Is there a completely free Google Maps scraper?[#](#is-there-a-completely-free-google-maps-scraper) Open-source scrapers on GitHub, such as gosom/google-maps-scraper (MIT license), cost nothing to download, but you pay in servers, proxies and maintenance. Hosted tools offer free tiers: Bright Data 5,000 records a month, G Maps Extractor 1,000, Outscraper 500 places, Leadraft 500 businesses plus 50 checked emails, as of October 2026. ### Which free Google Maps scraper gives the most data?[#](#which-free-google-maps-scraper-gives-the-most-data) By raw records, Bright Data's free tier: 5,000 records a month, without email finding. By finished leads, the tiers that include emails: Outscraper (500 places, 500 contact lookups and 25 verifications every 30 days) and Leadraft (500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month). ### Can I scrape Google Maps for free with Python?[#](#can-i-scrape-google-maps-for-free-with-python) Yes, with an open-source project or your own script, but a single Google Maps search stops at around 120 results, pages change, and heavy use gets blocked. Expect to add proxies, area splitting and email finding yourself. See [how to scrape Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-scrape-google-maps). ### Is the Google Places API free?[#](#is-the-google-places-api-free) Each Places API SKU has a monthly free usage cap. Text Search with phone, website or rating fields falls under the Enterprise SKU: 1,000 free requests a month, then $35 per 1,000, as of October 2026. Each Text Search query returns at most 60 results. ### Do free Google Maps scrapers include emails?[#](#do-free-google-maps-scrapers-include-emails) Rarely in full. Google Maps listings seldom show an email, so tools crawl the business website. Outscraper's free tier includes 500 contact lookups, Leadraft's includes 50 checked emails, and G Maps Extractor's records include emails found on the web. Most other free tiers don't include verified emails. ## Sources[#](#sources) All pages checked in October 2026. 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # GoHighLevel prospecting with Google Maps data: the built-in tool, its limits, and how to import bigger lists What GoHighLevel's Bulk Prospecting pulls from Google Maps, its 60-lead cap, and three ways to import bigger lists: CSV, Inbound Webhook or Zapier. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook GoHighLevel can find Google Maps businesses itself: its Prospecting Tool has a Bulk Prospecting flow that searches Maps by keyword and location, returns up to 60 leads per search within about 30 miles, and lets you save 15 at a time as prospects with audit reports. That's good for finding a handful of agency prospects to audit and pitch. For a full list of every business of a trade in a city, with emails checked before you send, build the list outside GoHighLevel and import it: by CSV, through an Inbound Webhook workflow trigger, or with Zapier's LeadConnector app. All the facts below come from HighLevel's own help center as of November 2026. ## What does GoHighLevel's Bulk Prospecting do?[#](#what-does-gohighlevels-bulk-prospecting-do) Bulk Prospecting is a search-and-save flow inside HighLevel's Prospecting Tool that finds local businesses on Google Maps and saves them as prospects. In a sub-account you open it at Marketing → Prospecting → Add Prospect. HighLevel's changelog says it launched in Labs, enabled from Labs in Agency settings. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Feature | What HighLevel documents | | --- | --- | | Search | Keyword or business name, plus an address, city, ZIP, a point on the map, or "near me" (IP location) | | Radius | Up to about 30 miles (49 km) | | Results per search | Up to 60 leads; the help article says this cap is imposed by Google | | Saving | Up to 15 prospects per batch; selections persist across pages | | Columns | Prospect Score, Online Presence/GBP, Website (Yes/No), Google rating and reviews, Status | | Duplicates | Businesses already saved show as "Added" | | Where they go | Prospect Accounts at agency level; Contacts in a sub-account linked to Prospecting Premium | | After saving | Workflows can send a welcome email or SMS, assign a pipeline, schedule follow-ups | The sort options tell you what it's built for: you sort by prospect score, whether the Google Business Profile is claimed, whether there's a website, and ratings. Each saved prospect gets an audit report you can use in a pitch. That's an agency selling SEO or reputation services to a few dozen businesses at a time, and for that job it's convenient because the prospect lands in the same CRM you'll sell from. The help articles we read don't list email addresses among the fields a search returns, so check your own account before you plan an email campaign around it. ## How much does GoHighLevel prospecting cost?[#](#how-much-does-gohighlevel-prospecting-cost) HighLevel's help center lists Premium Prospecting at $29 a month as of November 2026, on top of your HighLevel plan. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Free | Premium ($29/mo) | | --- | --- | --- | | Reports | 5 premium a month, 50 basic a day | Unlimited, refreshed weekly | | Audits | Listings, basic Google Business Profile analysis, reviews snapshot | Adds website performance, SEO heatmaps and rankings | | CRM, pipeline and workflows | No | Yes, in sub-accounts | | Email and SMS outreach from the CRM | No | Yes | | Where | Agency level | Can be linked to one sub-account at no extra cost | HighLevel's own pages disagree on whether free prospecting works in sub-accounts (one article says agency level only; a newer one describes a free tier for eligible agency-owned sub-accounts), so check yours. ## Where does GoHighLevel's Maps prospecting fall short for list building?[#](#where-does-gohighlevels-maps-prospecting-fall-short-for-list-building) Mostly on volume. Sixty results per search is the cap Google puts on one query, and a city has far more businesses than that in most trades. A metro search for "plumber" returns Google's top 60 and stops; the rest of the city's plumbers never appear. You can run more searches with different keywords and ZIP codes, as the changelog suggests, but you save them 15 at a time and dedupe by eye. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Job | Built-in Bulk Prospecting | List built outside, then imported | | --- | --- | --- | | Find 20 businesses to audit and pitch this week | Good fit | Overkill | | Every HVAC company in a metro | 60 per search, many searches | Whole area, deduped | | Emails checked before a cold sequence | Not documented | Depends on the tool | | Audit reports and heatmaps | Built in (Premium) | Not included | | Stays inside the CRM | Yes | Needs an import step | Why the cap matters and how tiling gets past it is in [Google Maps' 120 results limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). If your offer is a website, see [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites); the "Website (Yes/No)" column in Bulk Prospecting does a small version of the same filter. ## How do I import a Google Maps lead list into GoHighLevel by CSV?[#](#how-do-i-import-a-google-maps-lead-list-into-gohighlevel-by-csv) A CSV import is the fastest route and needs no automation. Per HighLevel's help center: 1. Create the custom fields first, for example **Category**, **Rating**, **Reviews**, **Maps URL**, **Email Grade**. Columns can only map to fields that already exist. 2. Clean the file: a real `.csv` (not Excel or a Google Sheet), one tab, under 30 MB, a header row, and at least a name, email or phone on every row. Strip spaces, dashes and letters from phone numbers. Remove duplicate rows; HighLevel won't merge duplicates inside the same file. 3. Go to **Contacts → Import Contacts**, choose **Contacts** (or Contacts and Opportunities), upload, and choose whether to create new contacts or update existing ones. Only Admin users can import. 4. Map each column to a field. Tick the option to skip unmapped columns. 5. In the last step, **add a tag** (for example `maps-hvac-phoenix-2026-11`), **create a Smart List**, and optionally **add the contacts to a workflow**. 6. Check the result under **Bulk Actions → Show Stats**; the Error tab lists rows that failed and why. When updating, HighLevel matches existing contacts by Contact ID, then email, then phone. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Google Maps lead column | GoHighLevel field | | --- | --- | | Business name | Company Name | | Email | Email | | Phone | Phone | | Website | Website | | Address, city, state, postal code, country | Address, City, State, Postal Code, Country | | Category | Custom field: Category | | Rating, review count | Custom fields: Rating, Reviews | | Google Maps link | Custom field: Maps URL | | Email grade | Custom field: Email Grade | Leave first and last name empty: Google Maps listings don't include owner names. Write your messages so they don't need one. ## How do I send leads to GoHighLevel automatically?[#](#how-do-i-send-leads-to-gohighlevel-automatically) Use HighLevel's Inbound Webhook trigger or Zapier's LeadConnector app, usually with a small step in between that splits a batch into single contacts. ### Option A: Inbound Webhook trigger[#](#option-a-inbound-webhook-trigger) HighLevel's **Inbound Webhook** is a workflow trigger with its own URL that accepts POST, GET or PUT requests with a JSON body. After a test request, you save the sample data and map it in a **Create/Update Contact** action; an email or phone is required to create or match a contact. It's a premium trigger: HighLevel bills premium triggers and actions per execution, and each enabled sub-account gets 100 free executions. The catch: the trigger maps one contact per request, and its docs don't describe handling an array of contacts. Lead tools that push in batches (Leadraft sends 200 leads per webhook request, in a `leads` array) need a step in the middle: ``` Lead tool webhook (batch of 200) → Zapier, Make or n8n: split the "leads" array into single items → POST each lead to the HighLevel Inbound Webhook URL → HighLevel workflow: Create/Update Contact → tag → Smart List ``` Keep the JSON keys simple (`email`, `business`, `phone`, `city`): HighLevel asks for keys without spaces. If the webhook URL leaks, delete the trigger and add a new one. ### Option B: Zapier's LeadConnector app[#](#option-b-zapiers-leadconnector-app) On Zapier, HighLevel's app is called **LeadConnector**. Its contact action is **Add/Update Contact**, which adds a new contact or updates an existing one, and it also has **Add Lead to Workflow**. A zap for Google Maps leads: 1. Trigger: **Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook**. Paste the hook URL as the lead tool's webhook destination. 2. **Looping by Zapier** over the `leads` array. 3. **LeadConnector → Add/Update Contact**: map email, company, phone, website, city, state and your custom fields. 4. Optionally **Add Lead to Workflow**. Zapier bills per task, and a loop of 200 leads is many tasks, so check the cost against a weekly CSV import before you automate. ### What about a "native" integration?[#](#what-about-a-native-integration) If a vendor lists a native GoHighLevel connector, it's usually one of the two routes above packaged for you. Leadraft doesn't have one: you use a CSV export, or its [signed webhook](https://leadraft.co/docs/webhooks) through Zapier, Make or n8n. Our [n8n Google Maps leads workflow](https://leadraft.co/blog/n8n-google-maps-leads-workflow) shows the webhook side node by node. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I check before running outreach from GoHighLevel?[#](#what-should-i-check-before-running-outreach-from-gohighlevel) Treat Maps leads as cold contacts, because they are. - [ ] **Email only, at first.** In the US, cold texting falls under the TCPA and carrier registration rules, and a phone number on a Maps listing is not consent. Don't drop imported leads into a workflow that sends SMS. Get legal advice if you plan to text. - [ ] **Checked emails.** Send only to addresses that were verified against the mail server, and keep accept-all ones in a separate, smaller workflow. See [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained). - [ ] **A separate sending domain** for cold email, not the domain your clients' transactional email uses. - [ ] **CAN-SPAM basics.** A real postal address, a working opt-out, and opt-outs honored within 10 business days. [Cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) covers GDPR, CASL and PECR for UK and Canadian lists. - [ ] **One do-not-contact list** that every import is checked against, so an unsubscribe in one tool isn't undone by an import into another. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Does GoHighLevel have a Google Maps scraper?[#](#does-gohighlevel-have-a-google-maps-scraper) It has a Prospecting Tool with a Bulk Prospecting flow that searches Google Maps by keyword and location. Per HighLevel's help center, it returns up to 60 leads per search within about a 30-mile radius, and you save up to 15 prospects per batch. It's built for finding and auditing prospects, not for exporting a whole city. ### How much does GoHighLevel Premium Prospecting cost?[#](#how-much-does-gohighlevel-premium-prospecting-cost) HighLevel's help center lists Premium Prospecting at $29 a month as of November 2026. The free tier allows 5 premium reports a month and 50 basic reports a day; Premium adds unlimited reports, full audits and CRM, pipeline and workflow integration in sub-accounts. ### How do I import Google Maps leads into GoHighLevel?[#](#how-do-i-import-google-maps-leads-into-gohighlevel) The simplest way is a CSV import: Contacts, Import Contacts, upload the .csv, map each column to a standard or custom field, then tag the contacts, create a Smart List or add them to a workflow. Create custom fields such as Category and Rating before you import. For ongoing imports, use an Inbound Webhook trigger or Zapier's LeadConnector app. ### Does Leadraft integrate with GoHighLevel?[#](#does-leadraft-integrate-with-gohighlevel) Not natively. You can bring Leadraft leads into GoHighLevel with a CSV export, with a Leadraft webhook passed through Zapier, Make or n8n to GoHighLevel, or with a Zapier zap using LeadConnector's Add/Update Contact action. ### Can I text Google Maps leads from GoHighLevel?[#](#can-i-text-google-maps-leads-from-gohighlevel) Be careful. Cold texting is regulated far more tightly than cold email in the US: the TCPA and carrier registration rules apply, and the phone number on a Maps listing doesn't give you consent. Keep cold Maps leads in email workflows unless a lawyer has signed off on your texting program. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

Why the cap misses businesses, and how tiling and keyword variants get the rest. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Why Google Maps stops at 120 results, and how to get every business One Google Maps search stops at about 120 results and the Places API at 60. Why the cap misses businesses, and how tiling and keyword variants get the rest. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Guide A single Google Maps search stops at about 120 results in the Maps interface, and the official Places API Text Search returns at most 60. Google ranks the results by relevance, distance and prominence, so the cap keeps the businesses it ranks highest for your current map view and leaves out everyone else. To get every business, split the area into small tiles, search each one, split any tile that still hits the cap, repeat with several names for the trade, and remove duplicates by place ID. ## Is the limit really 120?[#](#is-the-limit-really-120) In the Google Maps interface, yes, roughly. Scroll the results panel for a common search in a large city and it stops loading at around 120 places. Google doesn't publish the number for the Maps interface, so treat "about 120" as an observed limit. Apify's write-up on the cap describes the interface as showing "only about 120 listings per search" ([Apify](https://blog.apify.com/google-places-api-limits/)). In an April 2026 test of "dentists in Chicago", one tool returned exactly 120 listings, while one that split the area into a grid returned 187 of the 200 requested ([Chat4Data](https://chat4data.ai/blog/google-maps-scraper)). For the official API the number is documented. Google's Text Search (New) reference says it "returns a maximum of 60 results across all pages, although this limit is subject to change", with 1 to 20 results per page ([Google](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/text-search)). Nearby Search (New) returns 1 to 20 results per request ([Google](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/nearby-search)). Scroll horizontally if needed → | Where you search | Results per search | Source | | --- | --- | --- | | Google Maps (web or app) | About 120 | Observed; not published by Google | | Places API Text Search (New) | Up to 60 (20 per page, 3 pages) | Google documentation | | Places API Nearby Search (New) | Up to 20 | Google documentation | ## Why does the cap miss so many businesses?[#](#why-does-the-cap-miss-so-many-businesses) Because a city often has far more businesses in a trade than any single search returns, and the ones you see are chosen by ranking, not at random. Google says local results are "mainly based on relevance, distance, and popularity" ([Google Business Profile Help](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091?hl=en)). So a search over a whole metro keeps the best-ranked businesses near the center of your map view and quietly drops the rest. The businesses that drop out are not random either: - **Businesses with few reviews** tend to score lower on prominence (Google counts reviews toward it), so newer listings fall off first. - **Businesses on the edge** of the map view lose on distance. - **Businesses filed under a neighboring category** (an "Air conditioning contractor" when you searched "HVAC contractor") may rank lower for your exact words. - **Service-area businesses** that hide their address can have a pin far from where they work. For lead generation, those are often the businesses you most want: newer, smaller, less marketed. A list built from one search per city is a list of the businesses everyone else is already emailing. ## How do I get every business, not just the first 120?[#](#how-do-i-get-every-business-not-just-the-first-120) You search the area in pieces small enough that each piece returns fewer results than the cap, and you search each piece with every name people use for the trade. This is called tiling (or grid search). One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) ### Step 1: Split the area into tiles[#](#step-1-split-the-area-into-tiles) Cover the area with a grid of small rectangles. In the Maps interface, that means zooming in on one part of the map at a time and searching "this area". In the Places API, it means passing each rectangle as a `locationRestriction`. Pick the tile size by density. Downtown blocks may need tiles a few hundred yards across; rural counties can use tiles several miles wide. If you'd rather not draw a grid, ZIP codes or neighborhoods work as ready-made tiles. ### Step 2: Split tiles that hit the cap[#](#step-2-split-tiles-that-hit-the-cap) If a tile returns the full cap (about 120 in the interface, 60 in Text Search), assume it was cut off. Split it into four smaller tiles and search each again. Repeat until every tile returns fewer than the cap. This adaptive split (a quadtree: big tiles over quiet suburbs, small ones over a dense downtown) keeps the number of searches down in sparse areas and goes deep where businesses cluster. ### Step 3: Search every name for the trade[#](#step-3-search-every-name-for-the-trade) One keyword never matches every business. People list themselves as "plumber", "plumbing contractor", "drain cleaning service" or "water heater installation". Searching each variant in each tile catches businesses that rank poorly for the word you'd naturally type. Our [Google Maps categories guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-categories-list) lists the variants by vertical, and the [keyword generator](https://leadraft.co/tools/google-maps-keyword-generator) builds the list for you. It also helps to ask the question two ways: the trade over a map tile, and "trade in place" for every named neighborhood, suburb or town inside your area ("coffee roaster in Sellwood", "café in Pearl District"). Google matches a search that names a place differently from a search over a map view, so each finds businesses the other misses. The Georgia run below shows how much it matters: asking city by city found five times as many businesses as plain tiles, for the same number of searches. ### Step 4: Merge and dedupe by place ID[#](#step-4-merge-and-dedupe-by-place-id) Neighboring tiles and keyword variants return the same businesses many times. Every Google Maps listing has a place ID, a stable identifier that the Maps Platform terms explicitly allow you to store. Dedupe on it. Don't dedupe on name and address text: "Joe's Plumbing" and "Joe's Plumbing LLC" at one address are one listing, and two "Smith Dental" offices in different suburbs are two. ### Step 5: Keep what's really inside your area[#](#step-5-keep-whats-really-inside-your-area) Tiles at the edge pull in businesses from next door. Check each business's coordinates (or ZIP code) against your actual boundary, whether that's a city, a county or a shape you drew. Some service-area businesses show only an approximate pin, so judge carefully near the edges. Then check the listing's own category, since a plumber search returns some hardware stores and a coffee search returns bookstores and gas stations. ## Why does my tool stop at 60, 120 or 200 results?[#](#why-does-my-tool-stop-at-60-120-or-200-results) Because each route into Google Maps has its own limit, and tools add their own on top. The number you hit tells you which route you're on, not how many businesses exist. - **60:** you're on the Places API Text Search (or a tool built on it). That cap is documented. - **About 120:** you're scrolling the Maps interface, or a tool that reads it the same way. - **Another round number, like 100 or 200:** usually a per-search limit the tool itself sets, often per credit or per run. Check its documentation. Whatever the number, the fix is the same: smaller areas, more keyword variants, then merge by place ID. Getting a bigger per-search limit doesn't help much on its own, because the extra results are still ranked toward the middle of the view. ## How many searches does it take?[#](#how-many-searches-does-it-take) More than most people expect. Here's the arithmetic for one illustrative case, so you can plug in your own numbers: - A metro roughly **20 by 20 miles** (400 square miles). - A starting grid of **2-mile tiles**: 10 × 10 = **100 tiles**. - About **20% of tiles** hit the cap and get split into 4: 20 × 4 = **80 more**. A few of those split again; call it **200 tiles** in total. - **10 keyword variants** for the trade. - **200 × 10 = 2,000 searches**, before any retries. At 60 seconds per manual search, that's over 33 hours of clicking. With the Places API, requesting phone and website, Text Search is billed at the Enterprise rate of $35 per 1,000 requests after 1,000 free each month, and paging to 60 results costs up to 3 requests per search ([Google pricing](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/pricing), as of October 2026). We work through the API costs in detail in [Places API vs scrapers vs lead tools](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-places-api-vs-scraping). ## How much does tiling actually find?[#](#how-much-does-tiling-actually-find) In our own measured runs, the difference was large. These are single runs, so read them as illustrations, not guarantees. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Run | One plain search (or plain tiles) | Leadraft | Caveat | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Portland, "coffee shop" | 230 | **457** (about 2×) | One city, one keyword. Missed results included whole chains. | | Georgia, 20 keywords, ~2,068 searches each way | 2,033 (plain tiles) | **10,082** | Asking city by city found five times as many businesses for the same number of searches. One 30-minute run. | The full method and limits are on our [coverage methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/coverage) page. Completeness still depends on your keywords and on businesses being listed on Google Maps at all. Nobody can honestly promise every business. ## How do I know when I've found every business?[#](#how-do-i-know-when-ive-found-every-business) You're done when new searches stop finding new businesses. Track the share of each search's results that you hadn't already seen. Early on, most results are new. As you cover more tiles and keyword variants, the share falls. When it's close to zero across the last batch of tiles and keywords, the market is saturated, and more searching costs more than it finds. That count is also the most honest answer to "how many plumbers are there in this county?". It isn't a guess from one search; it's what was left after the market stopped producing new names. Two limits remain: businesses that aren't on Google Maps at all, and trades listed under words you never searched. For the first, cross-check a sample against other sources such as state business registrations or city license lists (see [how to get a list of all businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/list-of-businesses-in-my-area)). For the second, add keyword variants until they stop adding businesses too. ## Can I do it by hand?[#](#can-i-do-it-by-hand) Yes, for a small area. The manual version: 1. List the ZIP codes or neighborhoods in your area. 2. For each one, search "\[trade\] in \[ZIP\]" and scroll to the end. If you reach about 120, zoom in further and search again. 3. Repeat with 3 to 5 keyword variants. 4. Paste everything into one sheet and remove duplicates by the Google Maps URL or place ID (the formulas are in our [export to Excel guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/export-google-maps-to-excel)). For one small town and one trade, that's an afternoon. For a metro, use a tool. Once the list is complete, the [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) covers what to do next: cleaning, emails, verification and outreach. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Why does Google Maps only show 120 results?[#](#why-does-google-maps-only-show-120-results) Google Maps limits how many results one search returns. In the Maps interface the list stops at about 120 places, and the Places API Text Search returns at most 60 across all pages. Google ranks results by relevance, distance and prominence, so the cap keeps the top of that ranking for your map view and drops the rest. ### How do I get more than 120 results from Google Maps?[#](#how-do-i-get-more-than-120-results-from-google-maps) Search the area in smaller pieces. Split it into tiles or ZIP codes, run the search in each, split any tile that still returns the full cap, and repeat with keyword variants for the trade. Then merge and remove duplicates by place ID. ### How many results does the Google Places API return?[#](#how-many-results-does-the-google-places-api-return) Text Search (New) returns up to 20 results per page and a maximum of 60 across all pages, according to Google's documentation. Nearby Search (New) returns up to 20 per request. ### Does zooming in on Google Maps show more businesses?[#](#does-zooming-in-on-google-maps-show-more-businesses) Zooming in shows different businesses, because results follow the map view. Each smaller view has its own cap, so searching many small views and combining them is how you cover a large area. ### Why does my tool stop at 60 or 200 results instead of 120?[#](#why-does-my-tool-stop-at-60-or-200-results-instead-of-120) Each route has its own limit. The Places API Text Search stops at 60 by design, the Maps interface at about 120, and tools built on either one often add their own per-search limit. Whatever the number, the fix is the same: search smaller areas and more keyword variants, then merge by place ID. ### How do I know I've found every business in a city?[#](#how-do-i-know-ive-found-every-business-in-a-city) Track how many new businesses each extra search adds. When new tiles and new keyword variants keep returning businesses you already have, the market is close to saturated and more searching costs more than it finds. Nobody can promise every business, because some are not on Google Maps at all. ### How many searches does it take to cover a city?[#](#how-many-searches-does-it-take-to-cover-a-city) It depends on the city's size and density and the number of keyword variants. A mid-size metro split into a few hundred tiles, times five to twenty keyword variants, can mean thousands of searches. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Google Maps business categories: the list that matters for lead generation How Google Maps categories work, how many exist, why one keyword misses businesses, and nearly 300 categories by vertical with the searches that find them. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 14 min Category Guide Google Maps files every business under one primary category and up to nine additional ones, chosen by the business from Google Business Profile's list of roughly 4,000 categories. For lead generation, that matters because businesses in the same trade pick different categories: an HVAC company may be an "HVAC contractor", an "Air conditioning contractor" or a "Heating contractor". Google Maps has no category filter, so you find them by searching with words, and one keyword misses everyone filed under the others. The fix is to search every category name and common synonym for your trade, in every part of your area. The tables below list the ones that matter, by vertical. ## What are primary and secondary categories on Google Maps?[#](#what-are-primary-and-secondary-categories-on-google-maps) Every Google Business Profile has one **primary category** and can have up to **9 additional categories** ([Google Business Profile Help](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3370250?hl=en)). The primary category is the one shown under the business name on the listing. Additional categories describe other things the business is. Google tells businesses to pick categories that complete the sentence "This business IS a", rather than "this business HAS a", and to use as few as possible ([Google guidelines](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en)). So a dental practice might be: - **Primary:** Dentist - **Additional:** Cosmetic dentist, Emergency dental service, Pediatric dentist Three things about categories are useful for prospecting: - **Businesses choose them**, so they're inconsistent. Two identical roofing companies can sit under "Roofing contractor" and "Construction company". - **They're the same code in every language.** "Plumber" in the US and "Klempner" in Germany are the same category underneath, which is why category is a better trade filter than the words in a business's name. - **Google also infers categories.** Its guidelines say Google "can also detect category information from your website and from mentions about your business throughout the web". ## How many Google Maps categories are there?[#](#how-many-google-maps-categories-are-there) About 4,000. Google doesn't publish a count, but third-party trackers put it at 4,102 Google Business Profile categories as of February 17, 2026 ([Circleboom](https://circleboom.com/blog/complete-list-of-google-business-profile-categories/)). Google changes the list most months, adding, renaming and removing categories; Sterling Sky keeps a [monthly log of changes](https://www.sterlingsky.ca/google-my-business-category-changes/) to the US list. Don't confuse these with the **Places API place types**. The API has a few hundred types ([Google](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-types)), such as `plumber`, `electrician` and `roofing_contractor`. Many specific trades (Gutter cleaning service, Estate planning attorney, Eyelash salon) exist as profile categories but not as API types, so filtering API results by type is much coarser than filtering by category. ## Why does searching one keyword miss businesses?[#](#why-does-searching-one-keyword-miss-businesses) For two reasons. First, each Google Maps search returns only about 120 results, ranked for the words you typed ([why the cap exists](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). Second, businesses in your trade are spread across several categories and describe themselves in different words. A search for "HVAC contractor" ranks HVAC contractors highly. Businesses filed as "Air conditioning contractor" or "Furnace repair service" rank lower for those words, and fall past the cap in a big city. There's also regional vocabulary. In the US you search "realtor" and "attorney"; in the UK the same businesses are "estate agent" and "solicitor". A US car repair search uses "auto repair shop" and "smog inspection station"; a UK one uses "garage" and "MOT testing centre". The practical rule: **for each trade, search every category name it's filed under plus the two or three phrases customers type, in every part of your area.** Then filter the results on category, not on the keyword that found them, so the hardware store your plumber search picked up doesn't end up in your list. ## Which categories matter for lead generation?[#](#which-categories-matter-for-lead-generation) The tables below group the categories by vertical. The middle column is Google Business Profile category names as they appear on US listings; the right column is the search terms that find those businesses (category names plus what customers type). They're the same verticals as our [keyword packs](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs), and each links to its industry lead page where there is one. Category names change, so check new ones against a current list.

How do I turn a category list into a search plan?[#](#how-do-i-turn-a-category-list-into-a-search-plan) Use a short, repeatable process for each trade: 1. **Pick the categories** from the tables above that match your offer. Exclude the ones that don't buy from you (a web designer selling to dentists may skip Dental clinic chains). 2. **Write the search list:** every category name, plus the two or three phrases customers type. For HVAC, that's around eight searches. 3. **Localize the words** if you're outside the US: "solicitor" for UK law firms, "estate agent" for UK real estate. 4. **Run every search in every part of the area**, not once per city, so the result cap doesn't cut you off. 5. **Filter the results on category.** Keep the categories you picked, drop the rest, and dedupe by place ID. The [Google Maps keyword generator](https://leadraft.co/tools/google-maps-keyword-generator) builds step 2 for any trade, and our [guide to building a local lead list](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) covers what to do after step 5. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How many Google Maps business categories are there?[#](#how-many-google-maps-business-categories-are-there) About 4,000. Google doesn't publish an official count, but third-party trackers counted 4,102 Google Business Profile categories as of February 17, 2026. Google adds, renames and removes categories regularly. ### What is the difference between a primary and a secondary category on Google Maps?[#](#what-is-the-difference-between-a-primary-and-a-secondary-category-on-google-maps) Every Business Profile has one primary category that describes what the business is, for example Dentist. It can add up to 9 additional (secondary) categories for other things it is, such as Cosmetic dentist or Emergency dental service. The primary category is the one shown on the listing. ### Can I search Google Maps by category?[#](#can-i-search-google-maps-by-category) Not directly. Google Maps has no category filter for search results. You search with words, and Google matches them against names, categories and other information about each business. Searching with the exact category name tends to return businesses filed under it. ### Why does searching one keyword miss businesses on Google Maps?[#](#why-does-searching-one-keyword-miss-businesses-on-google-maps) Because businesses in the same trade choose different categories and names, and each search returns only about 120 results ranked for your exact words. An HVAC company may be filed as an Air conditioning contractor or a Heating contractor. Searching every category name and common synonym catches them. ### Are Google Places API types the same as Google Maps categories?[#](#are-google-places-api-types-the-same-as-google-maps-categories) No. The Places API uses a few hundred place types such as plumber or roofing\_contractor, while Google Business Profile has about 4,000 categories. Many specific trades exist only as profile categories. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Google Maps lead generation: the complete playbook (2026) Google Maps lead generation end to end: niche, area, keywords, coverage, cleaning, verified emails, outreach and re-runs, with a worked 2,000-business funnel. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 13 min Category Guide Google Maps lead generation means turning Google Maps into a prospect list: every business of one type inside the area you sell to, with a checked email from its own website, contacted with an offer built for that trade. It works best for anyone selling to local businesses, such as agencies, software vendors, suppliers and service firms. The process has twelve steps, from picking a niche to re-running the market for new businesses, and most failed campaigns skip three of them: covering the whole area, cleaning the rows, and verifying emails. This playbook goes through every step, with a worked funnel at the end so you can estimate what a list of 2,000 businesses is likely to turn into before you build it, and a checklist you can copy. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What is Google Maps lead generation, and who is it for?[#](#what-is-google-maps-lead-generation-and-who-is-it-for) It is list-building from the source local businesses keep most current: their Google Business Profile. Each listing gives you a name, a Maps category, an address, a phone number, usually a website, opening hours, a star rating and a review count. That is more context than most bought lists, and it is public. It suits you if your buyer is a business with a physical location or a service area: Scroll horizontally if needed → | You sell | Typical targets on Maps | | --- | --- | | Websites, SEO, ads, reviews | Trades, clinics, salons, restaurants, law firms | | Software (POS, booking, field service) | Restaurants, salons, HVAC, plumbers, gyms | | B2B services (cleaning, staffing, insurance) | Offices, clinics, warehouses, contractors | | Supplies and distribution | Restaurants, cafes, auto repair, construction | It suits you less if you need named decision-makers at large companies. Maps describes locations, not org charts, and Leadraft is built for local business lists, not for finding job titles inside enterprises. ## Step 1: How do I pick a niche?[#](#step-1-how-do-i-pick-a-niche) Pick one trade where your offer has an obvious, provable benefit and where the businesses can afford you. A web designer pitching roofers ("one roofing job pays for the site") has an easier time than one pitching every small business in town. A quick test for a niche: - **Value per customer.** High-ticket trades (roofing, dental implants, HVAC replacements, personal injury law) can justify paying for growth. - **Density.** You want hundreds of businesses in your area, not dozens. Our [industry lead list pages](https://leadraft.co/leads) are a good place to compare trades. - **Reachability.** Trades that run their own websites are easier to email than ones that live on Facebook. - **Your proof.** One past result in a trade is worth more than any copywriting. ## Step 2: How do I define the market?[#](#step-2-how-do-i-define-the-market) Write the market in one sentence before you search: trade, place, and a qualification rule. A search is "plumbers Austin". A market is every plumbing business that serves customers inside the area you can actually work in, and it decides everything after it: which keywords you need, how wide you search, and what counts as a good row. For example: "Independent HVAC companies serving Maricopa County, with a website, rated below 4.5 or with fewer than 50 reviews." The place can be a city, county or ZIP code, a radius around your office, or a shape you draw around your real service area. Decide too whether a business just outside the line counts. Service-area businesses (plumbers, cleaners) often list an address outside the area they serve. The qualification rule is the part people skip, and it's the one you'll filter on in Step 5, so make it specific: "has a website" if you sell SEO, "independent, not a franchise location" if you sell to owners, "fewer than 50 reviews" if you sell reputation work. ## Step 3: How do I build a keyword list for Google Maps?[#](#step-3-how-do-i-build-a-keyword-list-for-google-maps) List every way the trade is named, because Google Maps files businesses under specific categories and a single keyword misses part of the market. For dentists that means "dentist", "dental clinic", "cosmetic dentist", "pediatric dentist", "orthodontist", "emergency dentist" and so on. Sources for keywords: 1. **Google Maps categories** themselves. Searching with category wording tends to return businesses filed under it. 2. **Sub-trades and services.** "Water heater installation" finds plumbers who never call themselves plumbers on their listing. 3. **Regional words.** "Realtor" in the US, "estate agent" in the UK. Fifteen to forty keywords per trade is normal. Our [Google Maps keyword generator](https://leadraft.co/tools/google-maps-keyword-generator) and [keyword packs](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs) give you starting lists. ## Step 4: How do I cover the whole area, not just the first page?[#](#step-4-how-do-i-cover-the-whole-area-not-just-the-first-page) Split the area into smaller pieces and run every keyword in every piece, because one Google Maps search stops returning new results after roughly 120 places. In a large city that is a fraction of the businesses that exist. Two ways to split: - **By place.** Search each suburb, neighborhood or ZIP code separately. - **By map tile.** Zoom in and search the area tile by tile, so each search is local to a small patch. The number of searches grows fast: 20 keywords × 40 ZIP codes is 800 searches. That's why most lists stop at the first page. In one measured run, a tiled search of Portland coffee shops found 457 businesses against 230 from a single search, about 2×. That is one city and one keyword, so treat it as an illustration. Our post on [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) covers tiling, splitting dense tiles and knowing when you've covered the market, and the [coverage methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/coverage) shows the measurement. ## Step 5: How do I clean, dedupe and fence the list?[#](#step-5-how-do-i-clean-dedupe-and-fence-the-list) Clean before you look for emails, because every bad row you keep costs you later in credits, sends and sender reputation. 1. **Dedupe on the Google place ID**, not on the name. Two keyword searches will return the same business many times. 2. **Fence to your area.** Drop or label rows whose coordinates fall outside the area from Step 2. 3. **Drop the wrong trade.** A "plumber" search returns hardware stores and bathroom showrooms. Filter on the listing's category. 4. **Remove closed businesses** and anything that fails your qualification rule. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. Count what's left. That number is your market size, and it tells you how many campaigns you can run before you've contacted everyone. Knowing there are, say, 640 qualifying businesses in your area is useful by itself, for pricing a campaign and for knowing when you've saturated the market. ## Step 6: How do I find emails for local businesses?[#](#step-6-how-do-i-find-emails-for-local-businesses) Look on each business's own website: contact pages, about pages, footers and privacy pages. Google Business Profiles do not show email addresses. Rules that keep the list clean: - Prefer addresses on the business's own domain (`office@acmehvac.com`). - Ignore the web designer's address in the footer, image filenames that look like emails (`logo@2x.png`), tracking-script addresses and placeholder text like `example@domain.com`. - Keep the page each email came from, so you can judge it later. - Accept that many sites have only a contact form. A business with no findable email is a phone or mail lead, not an email lead. In our own measurements, about 54% of business websites gave up an email address, counted before verification. Plan for roughly half, not all. ## Step 7: How do I verify emails before sending?[#](#step-7-how-do-i-verify-emails-before-sending) Check each address against the domain's mail server without sending a message: look up the MX records, then ask the server whether that mailbox would accept mail. You get one of three answers: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Grade | What it means | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | Verified | The server confirmed the mailbox | Send | | Accept-all (catch-all) | The server accepts every address, so the check proves nothing | Send carefully, separately, or not at all | | Invalid | The mailbox doesn't exist | Never send | Accept-all is "a maybe, never a yes". Our [catch-all explainer](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) covers when they're worth sending, and the [verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) explains how the check works. Why it matters: Google asks senders to keep the spam rate reported in Postmaster Tools below 0.10% and never reach 0.30%, and to authenticate mail with SPF or DKIM (all three of SPF, DKIM and DMARC above 5,000 messages a day to Gmail). Bounces are one more sign of a careless list to mailbox providers. ## Step 8: How do I segment a Google Maps list?[#](#step-8-how-do-i-segment-a-google-maps-list) Split by the fields you already have, so each email talks about something true for that group. Useful splits: - **Category:** "family dentist" and "orthodontist" need different first lines. - **Rating and review count:** under 4.0, 4.0 to 4.5, over 4.5; under 20 reviews or over 100. - **Website:** none, on a site builder, or custom. - **City or ZIP:** for local proof ("we work with two other clinics in Tempe"). Keep each segment big enough to learn from. A few hundred contacts per segment is a workable size. Use the fields to say something true and specific, not to generate fake compliments. Personalization that is obviously automated (`Love what you're doing at {{business}}`) reads worse than a plain, honest note. ## Step 9: How do I write the first email?[#](#step-9-how-do-i-write-the-first-email) Keep it short, specific and about them. One observation, one offer, one question. A structure that works for most local offers: ``` Subject: question about {{business}} Hi there, I was looking at {{category}} businesses in {{city}} and noticed {{business}} has {{reviews}} Google reviews at {{rating}} stars. [One sentence on what you'd change and why it matters to them.] Worth a short call next week, or should I send a 2-minute video instead? [Name, company, postal address, opt-out line] ``` Maps data has no owner names, so don't fake a first name. "Hi there" or `Hi {{business}} team` reads better than a wrong name. For a full set by offer, see [12 cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses). ## Step 10: How do I send without hurting deliverability?[#](#step-10-how-do-i-send-without-hurting-deliverability) Send from a separate, authenticated domain, warm it up, and start small. The basics: - SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up on the sending domain. - Low daily volume per mailbox at first, raised slowly. - A first batch of a few dozen businesses, with every reply read before you send the rest. - A working opt-out in every email, honored promptly. In the US, CAN-SPAM applies to B2B email too: accurate headers, an honest subject line, a postal address and an opt-out honored within 10 business days. - A suppression list checked before every new campaign. Replies like "remove me" count as opt-outs, not just link clicks. Our [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers setup and the rules outside the US. ## Step 11: How many follow-ups should I send?[#](#step-11-how-many-follow-ups-should-i-send) Two to three follow-ups, spaced a few days apart, each adding something new: a short example, a question, a different angle. Stop the sequence the moment someone replies or opts out. Never send a follow-up that only says "bumping this". ## Step 12: How do I measure results and re-run the market?[#](#step-12-how-do-i-measure-results-and-re-run-the-market) Track five numbers per segment: emails sent, bounces, replies, interested replies and clients. Compare segments, keep the best, and rewrite the worst. Then re-run. New businesses open every month, and a business that just opened needs a website, reviews, insurance and suppliers more than one that has been around for twenty years. A repeat search that returns only the businesses that are new since last time is the cheapest list you will ever build. ## A worked funnel: what do 2,000 businesses turn into?[#](#a-worked-funnel-what-do-2000-businesses-turn-into) Here is the arithmetic for one market. Only one rate in it is measured by us (the share of websites that give up an email). **Every other rate is an illustrative assumption.** Replace them with your own numbers after the first send. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Stage | Rate | Count | Basis | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Businesses in the area, cleaned | | 2,000 | Your market from Step 5 | | With a website | 80% | 1,600 | **Assumption.** Varies by trade and city | | Website gives up an email | ~54% | 864 | **Measured by Leadraft**, found before verification | | Verified (send-safe) | 65% | 562 | **Assumption.** Rest are accept-all or invalid | | Replies | 3% | 17 | **Assumption.** Depends on offer and copy | | Interested replies | 30% of replies | 5 | **Assumption** | | Clients | 1 in 3 interested | 1 to 2 | **Assumption** | Two things fall out of the arithmetic. First, the list shrinks by more than 70% before you send anything, so a "2,000-lead list" is really a 562-email list. Second, the biggest levers are at the top: covering the area properly (more businesses in) and verifying (fewer bounces), because they multiply everything after them. You can plug your own numbers into our [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator). What it costs depends on how you build it. Doing it by hand costs hours, not dollars. On Leadraft, 2,000 businesses and 562 verified emails fit inside the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 business credits and 1,000 checked-email credits, as listed on our [pricing page](https://leadraft.co/pricing)). ## What are the most common Google Maps lead generation mistakes?[#](#what-are-the-most-common-google-maps-lead-generation-mistakes) Most failed campaigns trace back to one of these, and each maps to a step above: 1. **One search per city** (Step 4). You get the businesses Google ranks highest near the middle of the map, the same ones everyone else is emailing. 2. **Deduping on the name** (Step 5). "Joe's Plumbing" and "Joe's Plumbing LLC" at one address are one business; two "Smith Dental" offices in different suburbs are two. Use the place ID. 3. **Keeping out-of-area and wrong-trade rows** (Step 5). They cost credits, sends and reputation, and never reply. 4. **Taking the wrong email from the page** (Step 6). The web designer's footer address is the classic one. 5. **Sending unverified or catch-all addresses with everything else** (Step 7). One bad segment raises the bounce rate for the whole campaign. 6. **Building once and never re-running** (Step 12). New businesses are often the most receptive, and a stale list decays. ## A checklist you can copy[#](#a-checklist-you-can-copy) - [ ] Market written down: trade, place and a qualification rule - [ ] Keyword list for the trade, including sub-trades and regional words - [ ] Area covered in pieces (tiles, ZIP codes or neighborhoods), not one search - [ ] Deduped by place ID; out-of-area and wrong-trade rows removed - [ ] Emails found on each business's own site, with the source page kept - [ ] Every address verified; accept-all kept as a separate segment - [ ] Segments and first lines built from real fields - [ ] Sending domain authenticated (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and warmed up - [ ] Small first batch sent and every reply read - [ ] Suppression list in place and checked before every export - [ ] Re-run scheduled for new businesses ## Is Google Maps lead generation legal?[#](#is-google-maps-lead-generation-legal) It depends on three separate things, and none of them is a simple yes or no: 1. **Google's terms.** Google's Maps Platform Terms of Service say customers "will not export, extract, or otherwise scrape Google Maps Content for use outside the Services", including copying and saving business names and addresses. That is a contract matter with Google. 2. **Data-protection law.** A business phone number is not the same as a sole trader's personal email. In the EU and UK, personal data about individuals is regulated even when it is published. 3. **Email law.** In the US, CAN-SPAM sets rules for commercial email, including B2B. Canada (CASL) and the UK (PECR) are stricter. See our guide to [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws). Public business data, personal data and contract terms are different questions. Read [our honest take on scraping Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) and get legal advice for your own use. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is Google Maps lead generation?[#](#what-is-google-maps-lead-generation) It is the practice of using Google Maps as the source of a prospect list: you find every business of a given type in a given area, collect its public listing details (name, category, website, phone, rating), find a working email on its own website, and contact it with an offer that fits that kind of business. ### How many leads do I need to get one client?[#](#how-many-leads-do-i-need-to-get-one-client) It depends on your offer, price and message, so measure your own numbers. As an illustration, if 2,000 businesses become roughly 560 verified emails, a 3% reply rate gives about 17 replies, and if one in three interested replies becomes a client you might close one or two. Treat every rate in that chain as an assumption until your own sends replace it. ### Does Google Maps show business email addresses?[#](#does-google-maps-show-business-email-addresses) Rarely. Google Business Profiles carry a website and phone number, not an email. The reliable source is the business's own website: contact, about and footer areas. Expect many businesses to have no findable address at all. ### Is it legal to use Google Maps for lead generation?[#](#is-it-legal-to-use-google-maps-for-lead-generation) There are three separate questions: Google's contract terms (the Maps Platform terms forbid exporting or scraping Maps content), data-protection law for any personal data, and email law such as CAN-SPAM in the US. Business names and phone numbers are public, but that does not make every use permitted. Get legal advice for your situation. ### How often should I rebuild a Google Maps lead list?[#](#how-often-should-i-rebuild-a-google-maps-lead-list) Businesses open, close, move and change websites constantly. Re-run the same searches on a schedule, monthly is a common starting point, and contact only the businesses that are new since the last run. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to import Google Maps leads into Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist Import Google Maps leads into Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist: column mapping tables, custom variables, verification before import, suppression and direct push. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To import Google Maps leads into Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist, export them as a UTF-8 CSV with one row per email address, verify the emails first, then upload the file to a campaign and map the columns: email to the tool's email field, business name to its company field, and Maps fields like category, city, rating and review count to custom variables you can use in the sequence. Leave first name empty: Maps listings don't carry owner names. The mapping tables below show exactly which column goes where in each tool, based on each tool's own import docs as of October 2026. ## How should I prepare a Google Maps CSV before importing?[#](#how-should-i-prepare-a-google-maps-csv-before-importing) Clean the file before any tool sees it. Every sending tool is stricter about format than it looks. - [ ] **One row per email address.** If a business has several emails, choose the best one for the first send, or put each on its own row and dedupe by business later. - [ ] **Every row has an email.** All three tools treat email as required. - [ ] **UTF-8 encoding.** Otherwise "Café" turns into garbage. In Excel, save as "CSV UTF-8 (comma delimited)". - [ ] **Headers in row 1, short and simple.** Instantly asks for column names of 20 characters or fewer, starting with a capital letter, with no duplicates. lemlist asks for no spaces in column names. - [ ] **Only the columns you'll use.** Instantly allows a maximum of 50 variables per upload. Drop empty and unused columns. - [ ] **Verified emails only, in this file.** Put accept-all (catch-all) addresses in a separate file and campaign, and never import invalid ones. - [ ] **Suppression applied.** Remove anyone who unsubscribed, bounced or said no before. **Download the sample:** [instantly-import-sample.csv](https://leadraft.co/templates/instantly-import-sample.csv) has 8 rows in the shape Instantly expects. The businesses are fictional (`.example` domains, 555 phone numbers), so use it to test your mapping and copy, never to send. Its first row looks like this: ``` Email,First Name,Last Name,Company Name,Phone,Website,City,State,Category,Rating,Reviews,MapsURL,EmailGrade office@quailbrushhvac.example,,,Quailbrush HVAC,(480) 555-0101,https://quailbrushhvac.example,Mesa,AZ,HVAC contractor,4.3,38,https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:EXAMPLE0101,verified ``` Every header is 20 characters or fewer, starts with a capital and appears once, which is what Instantly asks for. First Name and Last Name are present but empty, because Google Maps has no owner names. For Smartlead the same file works as is. For lemlist, rename the headers to remove spaces (`companyName` instead of `Company Name`), as its import guide asks. ## How do I import Google Maps leads into Instantly?[#](#how-do-i-import-google-maps-leads-into-instantly) Open the campaign, go to Leads, choose Add Leads, then CSV, and upload the file. Instantly detects columns and suggests mappings. For each column you choose Email, a predefined field (such as First Name, Last Name or Company Name), Custom variable, or Do Not Import. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Sample CSV header | Map to in Instantly | Use in copy as | | --- | --- | --- | | `Email` | Email (required) | | | `First Name`, `Last Name` | First Name, Last Name (empty) or Do Not Import | Don't use | | `Company Name` | Company Name | Pick from the variable menu | | `Phone` | Phone, or a custom variable | | | `Website` | Website, or a custom variable | | | `City`, `State` | Custom variables | `{{City}}`, `{{State}}` | | `Category` | Custom variable | `{{Category}}` | | `Rating`, `Reviews` | Custom variables | `{{Rating}}`, `{{Reviews}}` | | `MapsURL` | Custom variable, or Do Not Import | `{{MapsURL}}` | | `EmailGrade` | Do Not Import (it's for your own filtering) | | If Phone or Website isn't offered as a predefined field in your account, map it as a custom variable. Custom variables take the column's name, in double braces, as shown in Instantly's own example for a "Personalization" column (`{{Personalization}}`). Upload settings to decide: - **Check for duplicates across all campaigns and lists.** On by default. Leave it on so the same business isn't emailed from two campaigns. - **Verify leads.** Instantly charges 0.25 credits per lead for this as of October 2026. If you've already verified the list, leave it off; if you haven't, turn it on. ## How do I import Google Maps leads into Smartlead?[#](#how-do-i-import-google-maps-leads-into-smartlead) Open the campaign, go to Import Leads, choose Import CSV, and map the columns. Smartlead's help center says it auto-maps standard fields like name, email and location, and lets you map other columns to custom variables, up to 40 per lead in the CSV importer. Variables in copy use double braces and must match the names you mapped exactly. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Sample CSV header | Map to in Smartlead | Use in copy as | | --- | --- | --- | | `Email` | Email (required) | | | `First Name`, `Last Name` | Leave unmapped | Don't use | | `Company Name` | Company Name | Pick from the variable menu | | `Phone` | Phone Number | | | `Website` | Website | | | `City`, `State` | Location, or custom variables | The name you mapped, e.g. `{{City}}` | | `Category` | Custom variable | `{{Category}}` | | `Rating`, `Reviews` | Custom variables | `{{Rating}}`, `{{Reviews}}` | | `MapsURL` | Custom variable, or skip | `{{MapsURL}}` | | `EmailGrade` | Skip | | Smartlead's help center only names name, email and location as auto-mapped. If a standard field you expect isn't offered in the dropdown, map the column as a custom variable instead. Smartlead's lead fields in its API reference are `email`, `first_name`, `last_name`, `phone_number`, `company_name`, `website`, `location`, `linkedin_profile`, `company_url` and `custom_fields`, which is a good guide to what the importer's standard fields mean. Import settings shown before mapping include whether to import leads that are on your global block list, on the unsubscribe list, or bounced across Smartlead's user base, and whether to skip leads already in another campaign. For a cold list, keep blocked and unsubscribed leads out and skip leads already in another campaign. ## How do I import Google Maps leads into lemlist?[#](#how-do-i-import-google-maps-leads-into-lemlist) Create or open a campaign, choose to import leads from a CSV, and assign each column to a lemlist field in the "Set up imported custom variables" step. Columns that don't match a default field become custom variables named after their headers. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Header (renamed for lemlist) | Map to in lemlist | Use in copy as | | --- | --- | --- | | `email` | `email` (required, the lead's unique ID) | | | `companyName` | `companyName` | `{{companyName}}` | | `companyDomain` (the website's domain, without `https://`) | `companyDomain` | `{{companyDomain}}` | | `phone` | `phone` | `{{phone}}` | | `Category` | Custom variable | `{{Category}}` | | `City`, `State` | Custom variables | `{{City}}`, `{{State}}` | | `Rating`, `Reviews` | Custom variables | `{{Rating}}`, `{{Reviews}}` | | `MapsURL` | Custom variable, or skip | `{{MapsURL}}` | | `icebreaker` (a first line you wrote) | `icebreaker` | `{{icebreaker}}` | lemlist's import guide says the file must be a real `.csv` in UTF-8, every row needs an email, and column names shouldn't contain spaces. Use "Manage duplicates" to decide what happens to leads already in the campaign or elsewhere in your team. If custom variables don't appear in the editor's dropdown after import, refresh the campaign page and check the spelling. ## Why are my variables blank, and how do I write copy without a first name?[#](#why-are-my-variables-blank-and-how-do-i-write-copy-without-a-first-name) Blank variables are almost always a mismatch between the variable in your email and the name you mapped at import, down to capital letters and spaces. Smartlead's own guidance is that variables must match the mapped names. Before launching, send yourself a test with a real row. Google Maps data doesn't include owner names, so write the sequence not to need one: ``` Subject: {{Category}} in {{City}} Hi there, I found {{companyName}} on Google Maps while looking at {{Category}} businesses in {{City}}. {{Reviews}} reviews at {{Rating}} stars... ``` This uses lemlist's `{{companyName}}`; in Instantly and Smartlead, insert the company field from the variable menu instead, since its token differs by tool. The other variables match the sample file's headers in all three. Our [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses) are written this way. ## Should I verify before importing, or let the sending tool do it?[#](#should-i-verify-before-importing-or-let-the-sending-tool-do-it) Verify before import, so the tool only ever sees addresses worth sending to, and so you can separate accept-all addresses into their own campaign. Verification checks the domain's mail server and asks whether the mailbox exists, without sending anything. It returns Verified, Accept-all (the server accepts everything, so the answer is "maybe") or Invalid. Our [verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) explains how it works, and [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) covers when accept-all addresses are worth sending. A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. Why it matters: Google asks senders to keep the spam rate reported in Postmaster Tools below 0.10% and never reach 0.30%, and to authenticate with SPF or DKIM (SPF, DKIM and DMARC above 5,000 messages a day to Gmail). A list with dead addresses is one more strike against a new sending domain. ## How do I keep a suppression list across tools?[#](#how-do-i-keep-a-suppression-list-across-tools) Keep one master suppression list outside any single tool, because people unsubscribe in one tool and get imported again from another. It should hold: 1. Every unsubscribe and opt-out reply. 2. Every hard bounce. 3. Every "not interested" or "remove me" reply. 4. Whole domains, where a business asks you never to contact anyone there. Check every new CSV against it before import, and leave each tool's own block list and unsubscribe settings on as a second layer. In the US, CAN-SPAM requires you to honor opt-outs within 10 business days, and hiring someone else to send doesn't move that responsibility off you. ## Can I skip the CSV and push leads directly?[#](#can-i-skip-the-csv-and-push-leads-directly) Yes, several lead tools push directly to these platforms through their APIs, which avoids the column-mapping step. Leadraft's push sends each lead with these fields: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Leadraft field | Instantly | Smartlead | lemlist | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Best email | `email` | `email` | `email` | | Business name | `company_name` | `company_name` | `companyName` | | Phone | `phone` | `phone_number` | `phone` | | Website | `website` | `website` | `companyDomain` (domain only) | | City, state, country | custom variables | `location` plus custom fields | `city`, `state`, `country` | | Category, rating, reviews | custom variables | custom fields | `category`, `rating`, `reviews` | | Google Maps link | `maps_url` custom variable | `maps_url` custom field | `mapsUrl` | | Email grade | `email_grade` custom variable | `email_grade` custom field | `emailGrade` | | Other emails at the business | `email_2` … `email_5` | `email_2` … `email_5` | `email2` … `email5` | So in a pushed campaign, `{{category}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{rating}}` and `{{reviews}}` work without any mapping. A few details: - **Verified by default.** Pushes include Verified emails; you can choose to add accept-all. Invalid emails never leave. - **Your do-not-contact list is applied on the way out,** to every push, export and feed. You can add emails or whole domains by hand, or import a CSV of people already contacted (an Instantly or CRM export works). - **Instantly verification stays off** on Leadraft pushes, so Instantly doesn't spend credits re-checking addresses that were just verified. - **Each tool's own rules still apply.** Smartlead's block list and unsubscribes stay in force, and lemlist deduplicates against your team's other campaigns. - **Instantly bounces can flow back** into your Leadraft suppression list. If you'd rather use a file, Leadraft's CSV export has an Instantly-shaped preset (Email, First Name, Last Name, Company Name, Phone, Website, City, State, Country, Category, Rating, Maps URL, plus extra emails) that Instantly's importer recognizes. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I import Google Maps leads into Instantly?[#](#how-do-i-import-google-maps-leads-into-instantly-1) Export your Google Maps leads as a UTF-8 CSV with one row per email, open your Instantly campaign, choose Add Leads, then CSV, and upload. Map the email column to Email, the business name to Company Name, and category, city, rating and reviews to custom variables, which you then use in your sequence as `{{Category}}` or whatever you named the column. ### Should I verify emails before importing into a sending tool?[#](#should-i-verify-emails-before-importing-into-a-sending-tool) Yes. Verify before import so you only pay to send to mailboxes that exist and keep accept-all addresses separate. Instantly can verify on import for 0.25 credits per lead as of October 2026; if your list is already verified, you can leave that option off. ### What do I put in the first name field for Google Maps leads?[#](#what-do-i-put-in-the-first-name-field-for-google-maps-leads) Usually nothing. Google Maps listings don't include owner names, so leave first name empty and write your sequence so it doesn't need one, for example opening with "Hi there" or the business name. ### Why are my custom variables blank in sent emails?[#](#why-are-my-custom-variables-blank-in-sent-emails) Almost always a mapping mismatch: the variable in your email doesn't exactly match the column or field name you mapped at import, including capitalization and spaces. Fix the header, re-import, and send yourself a test with a real row before launching. ### How do I stop emailing businesses that already unsubscribed?[#](#how-do-i-stop-emailing-businesses-that-already-unsubscribed) Keep one suppression list outside your sending tool, made of every unsubscribe, bounce and "not interested" reply, and check every new list against it before import. Also keep the sending tool's own block list and unsubscribe settings on. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Google Maps scraper: what it is, what data you get, and how to choose one (2026) What a Google Maps scraper does, every field you can get, the four types of tool, the 120-result cap, emails and verification, and real cost math per lead. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 15 min Category Guide A Google Maps scraper is a tool that turns Google Maps search results into rows of data: business name, category, address, phone, website, rating, review count, hours, coordinates and Google's place ID. Google Maps doesn't show email addresses, so tools that sell "emails" get them from each business's own website, and the good ones check that the mailbox exists. When you choose one, look past the price per row. The things that decide whether a list is usable are how it gets past the per-search result cap, whether it keeps to your area and trade, and how it finds and verifies emails. This guide covers what data you actually get, the four kinds of tool, the coverage problem most of them gloss over, how email finding works, a checklist for evaluating tools, and a pricing comparison with worked arithmetic. It's written so it's useful whatever you end up using. ## Google Maps scraper vs Places API vs data vendor: the short version[#](#google-maps-scraper-vs-places-api-vs-data-vendor-the-short-version) Four routes lead to a list of local businesses. This is how they differ at a glance. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Route | What you get | Emails | Coverage of an area | Cost model | Typical use | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Google Maps scraper (extension, actor or API) | Listing fields as rows | Only if it also crawls websites | Depends on whether it splits the area | Per row or per event | Developers and one-off pulls | | Google Places API | Official place data | None | 60 results per Text Search query | Per request, by SKU | Apps that need data inside Google's terms | | Business data vendor (Data Axle and others) | Compiled records with firmographics | Some, often extra | Nationwide, refreshed by the vendor | Subscription, credits or quote | Firmographic targeting | | Lead tool with verification | Businesses in your area with checked emails | Found on each website and checked | Tiled, fenced to your area | Per business or per plan | Sending cold email to local businesses | If you want to see what a finished lead row looks like, download our [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv). The rows are fictional (`.example` domains, 555 phone numbers), but it shows every column and how the email grade, source and in-area flags look. ## What does a Google Maps scraper do?[#](#what-does-a-google-maps-scraper-do) A Google Maps scraper runs searches like "dentist in Phoenix, AZ" and records every listing that comes back as structured data. It does what you could do by hand: open each result, copy the name, phone and website into a spreadsheet. It just does it for thousands of businesses instead of twenty. Under the hood, tools take one of two routes: - **Read the Google Maps interface**, as a browser would, and parse the listings. Most scrapers, extensions and cloud actors work this way. - **Call Google's official Places API**, which returns structured place data for a fee and under Google's Maps Platform terms. Either way, the output is a table. Better tools then add a second stage: they visit each business's website to look for email addresses and social links, and verify the emails before handing them over. ## What data can you get from Google Maps?[#](#what-data-can-you-get-from-google-maps) You can get the public facts on a business's listing: identity, location, contact details, category, reputation and hours. You can't get email addresses from the listing itself, and owner names are not part of a listing either. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Field | On the Maps listing? | In the Places API? | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Business name | Yes | Yes (`displayName`) | | | Primary category | Yes | Yes (`primaryType`, `types`) | The API uses a few hundred place types; Google Business Profile has roughly 4,000 categories | | Additional categories | Partly | No direct equivalent | Businesses can add up to 9 extra categories | | Address, city, state, ZIP | Yes | Yes | Service-area businesses often hide their street address | | Latitude and longitude | Yes (in the URL and map) | Yes (`location`) | Useful for checking a business is inside your area | | Phone | Yes | Yes (`nationalPhoneNumber`) | | | Website | Yes | Yes (`websiteUri`) | The starting point for finding emails | | Rating and review count | Yes | Yes (`rating`, `userRatingCount`) | Good for segmenting | | Opening hours | Yes | Yes | | | Price level | Some categories | Yes (`priceLevel`) | Mostly restaurants and bars | | Business status | Yes | Yes (`businessStatus`) | Filter out permanently closed | | Place ID | In the page data | Yes (`id`) | The stable key for deduping | | Google Maps URL | Yes | Yes (`googleMapsUri`) | | | Review text and photos | Yes | Yes (premium fields) | The API returns at most 5 reviews and 10 photos per place | | **Email address** | **No** | **No** | Comes from the business's own website | | Social profiles | Sometimes via website | No | Also found on the website | | Owner name | No | No | Needs other sources | The API field names come from Google's [Place data fields](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/data-fields) reference, which has no email or social field. The review and photo caps are in the [Place resource reference](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/reference/rest/v1/places): "A maximum of 5 reviews can be returned" and a maximum of 10 photos. If a tool advertises "50+ fields", count how many come from the listing, how many from the website, and how many are derived (like "has website: yes/no"). ## What kinds of Google Maps scraper are there?[#](#what-kinds-of-google-maps-scraper-are-there) There are four broad types: browser extensions, desktop apps, cloud actors and scraping APIs, and lead tools that add email finding and verification. They differ mainly in where the work runs, how much they cover past the result cap, and what you get at the end. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Type | Examples | Runs on | Good at | Watch out for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Chrome extension | Instant Data Scraper, G Maps Extractor extension | Your browser and IP | Quick pulls of what's on screen, low cost | Usually stops where your scroll stops (about 120 per search); your browser has to stay open | | Desktop app | Various one-time-license apps | Your computer | No subscription | You maintain it when Google changes the page | | Cloud actor / scraping API | Apify actors, Outscraper, Bright Data, SerpApi | The vendor's servers | Large volumes, raw data, developer control | Pricing per row or per event, with add-ons; you clean the data | | Lead tool with verification | Leadraft, and others that bundle emails | The vendor's servers | A ready-to-send list for an area and trade | Fewer raw fields; check what counts as a billable lead | **Open-source options.** If you code, free projects exist. The most-starred, gosom/google-maps-scraper on GitHub, is MIT-licensed. Free to run, but you supply servers, proxies and upkeep when Google changes its pages, and you still need an email stage and a verifier. Our [free Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/free-google-maps-scraper) guide compares the free routes. If you sell to local businesses and need emails that don't bounce, the lead-tool category saves the most cleanup, and it's the category Leadraft is built in. The other three types hand you listing rows; finding emails, checking them and removing out-of-area rows are left to you. ## Why do most scrapers miss businesses?[#](#why-do-most-scrapers-miss-businesses) Because a single Google Maps search stops after about 120 results, and the official Places API Text Search stops at 60. In a city with 900 dentists, a single search sees a small slice, chosen by Google's relevance ranking for that view of the map. The fix is to split the area into smaller tiles and search each one, plus search several keyword variants per trade, then remove duplicates by place ID. Tools that do this well can find several times what one search shows. In one Leadraft run in Portland, a tiled search for "coffee shop" found 457 businesses against 230 from one plain search. That's one city and one keyword, so treat it as an illustration, not a rule. We explain the cap and the tiling method in [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) Ask any tool you're evaluating one question: "If I search a whole metro, how do you get past the per-search cap?" A vague answer usually means you'll get the first page of results and a bill for it. ## How do Google Maps email extractors find emails?[#](#how-do-google-maps-email-extractors-find-emails) They don't extract emails from Google Maps, because Maps doesn't have them. A "Google Maps email extractor" takes the website from each listing, crawls that site, and pulls addresses from the pages where businesses publish them. A careful extractor: 1. **Visits the pages that hold contact details:** home, contact, about, footer, privacy and legal pages, and the sitemap to find them. 2. **Renders JavaScript** for sites built on Wix, Squarespace or React, where the address only appears after the page runs scripts. 3. **Filters junk:** the web designer's address in the footer, `example@domain.com` placeholders, image file names that look like emails, tracking addresses. 4. **Prefers addresses on the business's own domain** (`office@smithdental.com`) over unrelated ones, and records the role (`info@`, `office@`, a named person) and the page it came from. 5. **Verifies each address** before calling it good. Expect gaps. Not every business has a website, and not every website publishes an email. Some only have a contact form. In Leadraft's measurements, about 54% of business websites gave up an email address, and that's before verification. Any tool claiming an email for nearly every business is either guessing addresses or counting junk. ## How is a found email verified?[#](#how-is-a-found-email-verified) Verification checks that the mailbox exists without sending a message. The verifier looks up the domain's mail servers (its MX records), opens an SMTP conversation as described in [RFC 5321](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321), and asks whether the server would accept mail for that address. Then it hangs up. A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. There are three useful outcomes: - **Verified (valid):** the server confirmed the mailbox. - **Accept-all (catch-all):** the server says yes to every address, so the check proves nothing. Treat it as a maybe, never a yes. - **Invalid:** the mailbox doesn't exist. Never send. Catch-all is common among small businesses. In Hunter's published sample, 38% of domains were accept-all, and accept-all addresses bounced 27% of the time in its test, against 1% for valid ones ([Hunter](https://hunter.io/email-verification-guide/accept-all-catch-all)). If a tool lumps catch-all into "valid", your bounce rate will tell you. Our [catch-all guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) covers when they're worth sending to. ## How do I evaluate a Google Maps scraper? (checklist)[#](#how-do-i-evaluate-a-google-maps-scraper-checklist) Run the same test on every tool you shortlist: one trade, one mid-size city, and your real area. Then check each item below. - [ ] **Coverage:** how many unique businesses did it find for a whole city, compared with one manual Maps search? - [ ] **Area precision:** how many rows are outside the area you asked for? Are you charged for them? - [ ] **Trade precision:** how many rows are the wrong trade (the hardware store in your plumber list)? Charged? - [ ] **Deduplication:** does it dedupe on place ID, across searches and across months? - [ ] **Email source:** does each email come with the page it was found on, and is it on the business's own domain? - [ ] **Verification:** are emails graded Verified / Accept-all / Invalid, or is everything "valid"? - [ ] **Billing unit:** per row returned, per unique business, per email, or per month? Are duplicates and re-runs billed again? - [ ] **Free preview:** can you see a sample before paying? - [ ] **Budget cap:** can you stop a run at a lead count or spend limit? - [ ] **Where it runs:** on your browser and IP, or server-side? - [ ] **Exports:** CSV, XLSX, Google Sheets, a push to your sequencer or CRM, an API? - [ ] **Suppression:** can you keep a do-not-contact list that's applied to every export? - [ ] **Terms:** does the vendor have an acceptable-use policy and an opt-out for businesses? The first three items are the ones most comparisons skip, and they decide how much of what you pay for you can use. ## How much does a Google Maps scraper cost?[#](#how-much-does-a-google-maps-scraper-cost) Prices fall into three models: per row (or per event), per month for a fixed number of records, and per unique business or lead. As of October 2026, list prices look like this. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Model | Price (as of Oct 2026) | Emails and verification | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Outscraper | Per row | First 500 businesses free, then $3 per 1,000 up to 100k, $1 per 1,000 above | Emails & Contacts and Email Verifier are separate products, each about $3 per 1,000 after a free allowance | | Apify (Google Maps Scraper actor) | Pay per event | From $1.50 per 1,000 places, cheaper on higher plans | Contact enrichment and verification are add-ons | | Bright Data | Per record | 5,000 records/month free, then $1.50 per 1,000 pay as you go | Not a lead tool; no email finding | | G Maps Extractor (online) | Monthly records | Lite $19 for 20,000 records, up to Professional $149 for 500,000 | A small number of decision-maker emails per plan | | Scrap.io | Monthly export credits | Basic $49 for 10,000, up to Company $499 for 100,000, billed monthly ($35 to $350 a month billed yearly, as of November 2026); unused credits don't carry over | Not listed on the pricing page | | Leadraft | Per unique business, once | Starter $19: 25,000 business credits and 1,000 checked-email credits; Growth $49: 100,000 and 5,000 | Email finding and verification included; credits roll over | Sources: each vendor's pricing page, collected in the Sources list. Prices change, so check before you buy. ### Worked example: 6,000 dentists across a metro[#](#worked-example-6000-dentists-across-a-metro) Say a metro has about 6,000 dental businesses and you want all of them, with emails. Here are the assumptions, so you can swap in your own: - To find 6,000 unique businesses by tiling, a scraper returns about **15,000 raw rows**: the same business shows up in neighboring tiles and keyword variants, and some rows fall outside the area or are the wrong trade. - About 80% of the 6,000 have a website: **4,800 domains**. - About half of those yield an email: **roughly 2,600 addresses** to verify. **Per-row pricing (Outscraper rates):** - Maps rows: (15,000 − 500 free) × $3 / 1,000 = **$43.50** - Emails & contacts: (4,800 − 500 free) × $3 / 1,000 = **$12.90**, if you dedupe domains yourself first - Verification: (2,600 − 25 free) × $3 / 1,000 = **$7.73** - **Total: about $64**, plus your time to dedupe, filter out-of-area rows and match emails back to businesses. Run it again next month and you pay again for the same rows. **Monthly-records pricing:** 15,000 rows fits inside a 20,000-record plan at $19. But check whether duplicates and out-of-area rows count against the allowance, and what emails and verification cost on top. **Per-business pricing (Leadraft):** 6,000 unique, in-area, on-topic businesses use 6,000 business credits, which fit in Starter. Up to 2,600 checked emails need the Growth plan ($49 a month, 5,000 checked-email credits). Out-of-area and wrong-trade rows aren't charged, and the same business is never charged twice, so next month's re-run only costs the new businesses. For a single one-off pull, the per-row route can be about the same price or cheaper, if you're happy to do the cleanup. The per-business model gets cheaper the more often you go back to the same market. Our [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) runs this arithmetic with your numbers. ## Is using a Google Maps scraper legal?[#](#is-using-a-google-maps-scraper-legal) Google's terms prohibit it. The Google Maps Platform terms say customers will not "export, extract, or otherwise scrape Google Maps Content", and the Google Maps end-user terms bar mass downloading and using Maps to create business listings databases or mailing lists for a substitute service. That makes it a contract issue first. Whether it's unlawful depends on your country, whether you collect personal data, and how you contact people. We wrote a full, sourced answer: [is scraping Google Maps legal?](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal).

Some also visit each business's website to find email addresses and check them. ### Does a Google Maps scraper get email addresses?[#](#does-a-google-maps-scraper-get-email-addresses) Not from Google Maps itself. Listings and the official Places API have no email field. Tools that offer emails visit the business's own website and look for addresses there, then ideally verify them against the mail server. ### How many results can a Google Maps scraper get from one search?[#](#how-many-results-can-a-google-maps-scraper-get-from-one-search) One search in the Google Maps interface stops at about 120 results, and the official Places API Text Search returns at most 60. To get more, a tool has to split the area into smaller tiles and run many searches, then remove duplicates. ### How much does a Google Maps scraper cost?[#](#how-much-does-a-google-maps-scraper-cost-1) As of October 2026, per-row tools charge roughly $1.50 to $3 per 1,000 rows, subscriptions run about $19 to $499 a month for a fixed number of records, and email finding and verification are often extra. What matters is the cost per usable, in-area lead with a checked email, not the price per row. ### Is it legal to use a Google Maps scraper?[#](#is-it-legal-to-use-a-google-maps-scraper) Google's terms prohibit scraping Google Maps and using it to build mailing or telemarketing lists, so it is a contract issue first. Whether it is unlawful depends on your country, the data and how you use it. Read our full guide and get legal advice for your situation. ### What is the best Google Maps scraper?[#](#what-is-the-best-google-maps-scraper) For sendable leads inside a specific area, Leadraft (we make it). It tiles past the result cap, keeps businesses inside your area and trade, finds emails on each business's own website, checks every one against the mail server and charges once per business. Its Starter plan is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. Raw-data tools and extensions return listing rows and leave emails and verification to you. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Google Places API vs scraping vs lead tools: 2026 pricing per 1,000 businesses Places API 2026 prices and free caps, what it won't return (emails, more than 5 reviews), its storage rules, and worked costs at 10K, 100K and 1M businesses. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 12 min Category Comparison As of October 2026, the Google Places API charges $35 per 1,000 Text Search requests when you ask for phone, website or rating (after 1,000 free a month), and $20 per 1,000 Place Details lookups at the same tier (after 1,000 free). For 10,000 businesses that's typically $35 to $180 depending on how you call it, and it gets you no email addresses and a terms-of-service bar on storing names and addresses. Scrapers cost about $15 to $45 for the same 10,000, also without verified emails. A lead tool that includes email finding and verification costs a flat subscription. The real comparison is the cost per usable lead, not per row. ## How much does the Google Places API cost in 2026?[#](#how-much-does-the-google-places-api-cost-in-2026) The Places API (New) bills per request, by SKU. The SKU is set by the most expensive field you ask for in the field mask. Here are the prices that matter for business data, at the lowest volume tier ([Google Maps Platform pricing](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/pricing), last updated October 30, 2026). Scroll horizontally if needed → | SKU | What it gets you | Free per month | Price per 1,000 (first 100,000) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Text Search Essentials (IDs only) | Place IDs only | Unlimited | Free | | Text Search Pro | Name, address, location, types, status | 5,000 | $32.00 | | Text Search Enterprise | Adds phone, website, rating, review count, hours | 1,000 | $35.00 | | Place Details Essentials (IDs only) | Place ID | Unlimited | Free | | Place Details Pro | Name, address, location, types, status | 5,000 | $17.00 | | Place Details Enterprise | Adds phone, website, rating, review count, hours | 1,000 | $20.00 | | Nearby Search Enterprise | Same fields as Text Search Enterprise | 1,000 | $35.00 | Prices fall at higher volumes. Text Search Enterprise drops to $28 per 1,000 between 100,001 and 500,000 requests and $21 up to 1 million, and Place Details Enterprise to $16 and $12. Since March 1, 2025, these per-SKU free allowances have replaced the old $200 monthly credit ([Google](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/overview)). Two details change the math: - **You pay per request, not per business.** Text Search returns at most 20 places per page and 60 per query ([Google](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/text-search)). A tile with three dentists costs the same as a tile with twenty. - **Contact fields are Enterprise.** If you ask for `websiteUri` or `nationalPhoneNumber`, the whole request bills at the Enterprise rate. ## What doesn't the Places API return?[#](#what-doesnt-the-places-api-return) Emails, social links and full reviews. Google's [Place data fields](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/data-fields) list includes phone numbers and the website, but no email address and no social media links. Reviews and photos are capped: the [Place resource reference](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/reference/rest/v1/places) says "A maximum of 5 reviews can be returned", sorted by relevance, and at most 10 photos. Google Business Profile has roughly 4,000 categories, but the API exposes a few hundred place types, so "plumber" and "roofing contractor" exist as types while many narrower trades don't. So for lead generation, the API is only step one. You still have to: 1. Crawl each business's website for an email address. 2. Verify each address against its mail server. 3. Filter to your area and trade. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ### Field by field: API vs scraper vs lead tool[#](#field-by-field-api-vs-scraper-vs-lead-tool) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Field | Places API (New) | Typical Maps scraper | Lead tool with verification | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Name, address, coordinates, category | Yes (Pro tier) | Yes | Yes | | Phone, website, rating, review count, hours | Yes (Enterprise tier) | Yes | Yes | | Place ID | Yes, free, may be cached | Usually | Usually, used for dedupe | | Review text | Up to 5 per place | Often an add-on, more than 5 | Usually not | | Photos | Up to 10 per place | Often an add-on | Usually not | | Email address | No | Add-on that crawls websites, if offered | Found on the business's website | | Email checked against the mail server | No | Rarely, often a separate product | Yes, in some tools | | Social profiles | No | Sometimes, from the website | Sometimes, from the website | | Storing the data in your own list | Restricted by the terms | Against Google's terms | Check the vendor's terms and Google's | ## What do the Places API terms say about storing the data?[#](#what-do-the-places-api-terms-say-about-storing-the-data) They're strict, and they're the bigger problem for lead lists. The [Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms) say, in §3.2.3(a), that customers will not "export, extract, or otherwise scrape Google Maps Content for use outside the Services", including to "copy and save business names, addresses, or user reviews". §3.2.3(b) bars caching except where the service terms allow it. The [Service Specific Terms](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-service-terms) allow two exceptions that matter here: - **Place IDs** may be cached ("Customer may cache... place\_id from Places API"). - **Latitude and longitude** may be cached "for up to 30 consecutive calendar days, after which Customer must delete" them. Two more clauses catch lead-generation uses. §3.2.3(c)(iv) says you won't "use latitude/longitude values from the Places API as an input for point-in-polygon analysis", which is how you'd check whether a business is inside your territory. And §14.2 bars using Places content "in conjunction with a non-Google map". The upshot: the Places API is designed for showing places inside an app, live, not for building a list of businesses you keep, filter and email. If you use it for leads, you're working against its terms as much as a scraper is. Our [legal guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) covers what that means. ## What do 10,000 businesses cost with the Places API?[#](#what-do-10000-businesses-cost-with-the-places-api) Typically between $35 and $180 for the Google side, depending on the method and how efficient your searches are, plus email finding and verification from somewhere else. Here are the two sensible ways to call it. ### Method A: Text Search Enterprise in every tile[#](#method-a-text-search-enterprise-in-every-tile) Search each tile with the contact fields in the field mask. The number of requests depends on how much your tiles overlap and how many keyword variants you run. In theory 10,000 businesses fit in 500 full pages of 20. In practice, sparse tiles, repeat results and keyword variants push it much higher. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Requests needed | Billable after 1,000 free | Cost | | --- | --- | --- | | 500 (theoretical minimum) | 0 | $0 | | 2,000 | 1,000 | $35 | | 5,000 | 4,000 | $140 | | 10,000 | 9,000 | $315 | ### Method B: free ID search, then Place Details for each new business[#](#method-b-free-id-search-then-place-details-for-each-new-business) Run Text Search with only `places.id` in the field mask, which is free and unlimited, as many times as you like. Dedupe the IDs. Then call Place Details Enterprise once per unique business: (10,000 − 1,000 free) × $20 / 1,000 = **$180** Method B costs the same however many searches you run, which makes thorough tiling free. Method A is cheaper if your searches are efficient: it costs less while you need fewer than about 6,100 requests (1,000 free + $180 ÷ $0.035). ### Then add emails[#](#then-add-emails) Neither method gives you emails. Say 80% of the 10,000 have a website (8,000 domains) and about half of those yield an address (roughly 4,300). Using Outscraper's rates as of October 2026 as an example for those two steps: - Emails & Contacts: (8,000 − 500 free) × $3 / 1,000 = **$22.50** - Email verification: (4,300 − 25 free) × $3 / 1,000 = **$12.83** **Places API total for 10,000 businesses with checked emails: about $70 to $215**, plus the engineering time to build tiling, deduping, the crawl and the joins, and a terms problem with keeping the data. ## What do 10,000 businesses cost with a scraper?[#](#what-do-10000-businesses-cost-with-a-scraper) About $15 to $45 for the Maps data, as of October 2026, then the same email and verification costs. Scrapers bill per row returned, so overlapping tiles mean you pay for duplicates. Assume 15,000 raw rows to net 10,000 unique businesses: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Scraper | Rate (as of Oct 2026) | Cost for 15,000 rows | | --- | --- | --- | | Outscraper | First 500 free, then $3 per 1,000 | (15,000 − 500) × $0.003 = **$43.50** | | Apify Google Maps Scraper | From $1.50 per 1,000 places, add-ons extra | 15,000 × $0.0015 = **$22.50** before add-ons | | Bright Data | 5,000 records/month free, then $1.50 per 1,000 | (15,000 − 5,000) × $0.0015 = **$15.00** | Add about $35 for emails and verification as above, and the time to dedupe and filter. Scrapers return more raw fields than the API (Apify's actor offers reviews and other add-ons). They also run against Google's terms, which prohibit scraping Maps. ## What do 10,000 businesses cost with a lead tool?[#](#what-do-10000-businesses-cost-with-a-lead-tool) A flat subscription, with emails and verification included in some tools. With Leadraft, 10,000 unique businesses in your area and trade use 10,000 business credits, and up to about 4,300 checked emails need 4,300 checked-email credits. That fits the Growth plan: $49 a month for 100,000 business credits and 5,000 checked-email credits. If you only need 1,000 checked emails, Starter at $19 covers it (25,000 business credits). Out-of-area and wrong-trade results aren't charged, the same business is never charged twice, and credits roll over. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). ## What does it cost at 100,000 or 1 million businesses?[#](#what-does-it-cost-at-100000-or-1-million-businesses) Google's price per 1,000 drops at higher monthly volumes, so the cost per business falls, but the totals still climb fast. This table scales up the 10,000 example above with the same assumptions: Method A at one Text Search Enterprise request per two businesses, Method B at one Place Details Enterprise call per business, 80% of businesses with a website, about 43% of businesses yielding an email, and Outscraper's published rates (as of October 2026) for emails, verification and the scraper row. Everything is assumed to run in one billing month, with Google's volume tiers counted from the first call that month. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | 10,000 businesses | 100,000 businesses | 1,000,000 businesses | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Places API, Method A (Text Search Enterprise) | $140 | $1,715 | $14,665 | | Places API, Method B (Place Details Enterprise) | $180 | $1,980 | $14,380 | | Scraper, 1.5 raw rows per business (Outscraper rates) | $43.50 | $348.50 | $1,698.50 | | Emails from websites (Outscraper Emails & Contacts) | $22.50 | $238.50 | $998.50 | | Email verification (Outscraper verifier) | $12.83 | $128.93 | $629.93 | | **Places API (Method A or B) + emails + verification** | **$175 to $215** | **$2,082 to $2,347** | **$16,008 to $16,293** | | **Scraper + emails + verification** | **$79** | **$716** | **$3,327** | How a Google row is built, for 1 million businesses on Method B: the first 1,000 calls are free, the next 99,000 cost $20 per 1,000 ($1,980), the next 400,000 cost $16 ($6,400) and the next 500,000 cost $12 ($6,000), for $14,380. Google's published tiers are $35, $28 and $21 per 1,000 for Text Search Enterprise, and $20, $16 and $12 for Place Details Enterprise, across 0 to 100,000, 100,001 to 500,000 and 500,001 to 1,000,000 calls a month. The ratios are assumptions, not measurements. Your request count depends on how dense the area is and how many keyword variants you run, and your email yield depends on the trade. Put your own numbers into the [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator). The API rows also leave out the engineering time and the terms problem with keeping the data. ## Cost per 1,000 businesses, side by side[#](#cost-per-1000-businesses-side-by-side) Using the 10,000-business example above: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Route | Maps data | Emails and verification | Total per 1,000 businesses | Your work | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Places API, Method A (2,000 to 5,000 requests) | $3.50 to $14.00 | about $3.53 | **$7 to $18** | Build tiling, crawl, verify, join | | Places API, Method B | $18.00 | about $3.53 | **$21.50** | Same | | Scraper (Outscraper rates) | $4.35 | about $3.53 | **$7.90** | Dedupe, filter, join | | Scraper (Bright Data rates) | $1.50 | about $3.53 | **$5.00** | Same, plus email sourcing elsewhere | | Lead tool (Leadraft Growth, 10,000 used) | included | included | **$4.90** | Review and export | | Lead tool (Leadraft Growth, all 100,000 used) | included | included | **$0.49** | Same | The scraper and API rows are the cost of a single pull. Repeat it next month and you pay again. The lead-tool rows depend on how much of the plan you use. On a single small pull, the cheapest scraper rows come close to Leadraft's per-1,000 figure; what doesn't show in a per-row price is the work Leadraft does for you: tiling, area and trade filtering, deduping across months so a business is never charged twice, and verified emails without building the pipeline. Our [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) runs these numbers with your own volumes. ## Where does Leadraft fit?[#](#where-does-leadraft-fit) Leadraft is built for lead lists you'll email or call: every business of a trade inside your area, with emails found on each business's own website and checked against the mail server. For the 10,000-business example on this page, that's the Growth plan at $49 a month, about $4.90 per 1,000 businesses with checked emails included, against $175 to $215 for the Places API route and $79 for a scraper chain before your own engineering time. What Leadraft isn't: an API for showing places live inside your own app or website, and it doesn't return review text or photos. If that's your job, it's a different one from building a lead list. For leads, the reasons come down to four things: checked emails included, an area fence so out-of-area and wrong-trade results aren't charged, one charge per business ever, and credits that roll over. If you're still choosing a method, [how to scrape Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-scrape-google-maps) walks through each one, and the [Google Maps scraper guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-scraper) has an evaluation checklist. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How much does the Google Places API cost?[#](#how-much-does-the-google-places-api-cost) As of November 2026, Text Search costs $32 per 1,000 requests at the Pro tier and $35 at the Enterprise tier (needed for phone, website and rating), after 5,000 and 1,000 free requests a month. Place Details Enterprise costs $20 per 1,000 after 1,000 free. Text Search returning IDs only is free and unlimited. Prices fall at higher monthly volumes. ### Is the Google Places API free?[#](#is-the-google-places-api-free) Partly. Since March 1, 2025, each SKU has a monthly free allowance instead of the old $200 credit: 10,000 calls for Essentials SKUs, 5,000 for Pro and 1,000 for Enterprise. ID-only Text Search and Place Details are free without a cap. ### Does the Google Places API return email addresses?[#](#does-the-google-places-api-return-email-addresses) No. The Place data fields include phone and website but no email or social media field. To get emails you have to crawl each business's website and verify what you find. ### Can I store data from the Places API in a lead list?[#](#can-i-store-data-from-the-places-api-in-a-lead-list) Mostly no. The Maps Platform terms bar copying and saving business names and addresses outside the services. You may cache place IDs, and latitude and longitude for up to 30 days. That makes the API a poor fit for building a list you keep. ### How many reviews does the Places API return?[#](#how-many-reviews-does-the-places-api-return) At most 5 per place, sorted by relevance, and at most 10 photos, according to Google's Place resource reference. If you need full review text, the API isn't the source. ### Is scraping cheaper than the Places API?[#](#is-scraping-cheaper-than-the-places-api) Per row, usually yes: scrapers charge roughly $1.50 to $3 per 1,000 rows as of October 2026, against $20 to $35 per 1,000 calls for the API's Enterprise SKUs after the free allowance. But scraping breaks Google's terms, and both routes leave you to find and verify emails. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How email verification works: syntax, MX, SMTP and catch-all, explained How email verifiers check an address without sending mail: syntax, MX records, the SMTP RCPT TO test, catch-all detection, their limits, and when to re-verify. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 12 min Category Deliverability Email verification checks whether an address can receive mail **without sending a message to it**. A verifier checks the address's syntax, looks up the domain's mail servers (MX records), then opens an SMTP conversation with one of them and asks whether it would accept mail for that mailbox. It reads the reply code and hangs up before any message is sent. The answer is usually one of three grades: valid, invalid, or catch-all (the server accepts every address, so the check proves nothing). This post walks through each step, with the RFC 5321 details that decide the result, and then covers what a verifier can't know, how to read the grades, and how often to check again. ## What happens when you verify an email address?[#](#what-happens-when-you-verify-an-email-address) A verifier runs a short pipeline. Each step can end the check early. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | What it checks | What a fail means | | --- | --- | --- | | 1\. Syntax | Is this a well-formed address? | Invalid. Stop. | | 2\. Domain and MX | Does the domain exist and publish mail servers? | Invalid (no way to deliver). | | 3\. Disposable and role checks | Is it a throwaway domain? Is it `info@`, `sales@`? | Flag, not usually a fail. | | 4\. SMTP mailbox test | Does the server accept `RCPT TO` for this address? | Invalid if the server rejects it permanently. | | 5\. Catch-all test | Does the server also accept an address that can't exist? | Catch-all: the step 4 yes proves nothing. | A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. The rest of this post goes through them in order. ## Email validation vs verification: what's the difference?[#](#email-validation-vs-verification-whats-the-difference) Validation checks that an address _could_ work; verification checks that the mailbox _does_ exist. The words get used loosely, and some vendors use them the other way round, so read what a tool actually does. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Email validation | Email verification | | --- | --- | --- | | What it checks | Format, domain, MX records, disposable or role flags | All of that, plus an SMTP conversation with the mail server | | Steps in the table above | 1 to 3 | 1 to 5 | | Talks to the mail server? | No (DNS only) | Yes, stopping before any message is sent | | Catches | Typos, fake domains, domains that take no mail | Also mailboxes that don't exist, and catch-all domains | | Typical use | A signup form checking input as you type | Cleaning a list before a cold email campaign | For a cold list, validation alone isn't enough: a well-formed `jane@smithplumbing.com` on a domain with working MX can still be a mailbox that closed last year. Only the SMTP step finds that. ## Step 1: how is email syntax checked?[#](#step-1-how-is-email-syntax-checked) A syntax check confirms the address has a local part, one `@`, and a domain, with characters and lengths the standards allow. RFC 5321 limits the local part (before the `@`) to 64 octets and a domain name to 255 octets. In practice, verifiers also normalize what they're given before checking anything else: - Trim spaces, stray punctuation and `mailto:` prefixes picked up from web pages. - Lowercase the domain. Domains are case-insensitive. RFC 5321 says the local part _may_ be case-sensitive, but almost no real mail server treats it that way. - Reject obvious junk that scrapers pick up: `name@domain.com` placeholders, image file names like `logo@2x.png`, and tracking addresses. Syntax is cheap and catches a surprising amount when addresses are copied from websites. It tells you nothing about whether the mailbox exists. ## Step 2: what is an MX lookup?[#](#step-2-what-is-an-mx-lookup) An MX lookup asks DNS which servers accept mail for a domain. The verifier queries the domain's MX records, each with a priority, and will talk to the lowest-numbered (most preferred) server first. Three outcomes matter: 1. **MX records exist.** Continue to the mailbox test. 2. **No MX records, but the domain has an address (A or AAAA) record.** RFC 5321 section 5.1 says the domain itself is then treated as the mail server (the "implicit MX" rule). Some verifiers skip this case and wrongly mark the address invalid. 3. **A "null MX" record** (`MX 0 .`, defined in RFC 7505) or no domain at all. The domain explicitly accepts no mail. The address is invalid. The MX records also tell you who hosts the mail. Records ending in `google.com` mean Google Workspace; `mail.protection.outlook.com` means Microsoft 365. That matters later, because large hosted providers answer mailbox checks differently from a small business's own server. If you want to see this for any domain, our [email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker) shows a domain's MX setup. ## Step 3: disposable and role-based addresses[#](#step-3-disposable-and-role-based-addresses) Before the slow part, most verifiers flag two kinds of address that are deliverable but often unwanted: - **Disposable domains**: throwaway inbox services. Checked against a list of known providers, which needs regular updates because new ones appear constantly. - **Role-based addresses**: `info@`, `office@`, `sales@`. These reach a shared inbox, not a named person. For local businesses, a role address is often the _right_ address. A plumbing company with four staff usually reads `office@` every day. Flag role addresses so you can segment them; don't throw them away. ## Step 4: how does the SMTP check work?[#](#step-4-how-does-the-smtp-check-work) The mailbox test is the first half of a real delivery, stopped before the message. RFC 5321 defines the conversation. A verifier's version looks like this: ```text S: 220 mx.smithplumbing.com ESMTP ready C: EHLO verifier.example.net S: 250 mx.smithplumbing.com C: MAIL FROM: S: 250 OK C: RCPT TO: S: 250 OK <- the server will accept mail for this mailbox C: QUIT <- hang up before DATA: no message is sent S: 221 Bye ``` And this is what a mailbox that doesn't exist looks like, with the enhanced status code explained below: ```text C: RCPT TO: S: 550 5.1.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown C: QUIT S: 221 Bye ``` The reply to `RCPT TO` is the result. RFC 5321 groups replies by their first digit: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Reply | Meaning | What a verifier should do | | --- | --- | --- | | `250` | Accepted | Looks valid (go to the catch-all test) | | `550`, `551`, `553` | Permanent failure, typically "no such user" | Invalid | | `450`, `451`, `452` | Temporary failure: try later | Retry later. Never mark invalid | | Timeout or connection refused | No usable answer | Unknown. Retry later | Many servers add an _enhanced status code_ (RFC 3463) after the reply, such as `550 5.1.1`, where `5.1.1` means "bad destination mailbox address." That's the clearest invalid signal you'll get. Two details trip up careless verifiers: - **The `VRFY` command doesn't help.** SMTP has a command that asks "does this user exist?", but RFC 5321 lets servers decline to answer it, and most do. Verifiers use `RCPT TO` instead. - **Temporary failures are common.** Greylisting (RFC 6647) deliberately answers unknown senders with a 4xx code the first time and accepts them on a retry. A verifier that treats a 4xx as invalid will throw away good addresses. A careful verifier also paces itself: few connections per mail server, pauses between checks, and retries spread over time. Hammering a small business's mail server gets the verifier blocked, which produces more unknowns. ## Step 5: what is the catch-all test?[#](#step-5-what-is-the-catch-all-test) The catch-all test asks the same server about an address that can't exist, such as a long random string at the same domain. If the server accepts that too, it accepts every address, so its `250` for the real address carries no information. A catch-all result is **a maybe, never a yes**. On a normal server, real and made-up addresses get different answers. A catch-all server says 250 OK to both, which is why those addresses get an Accept-all grade instead of Verified. Whether to send to those addresses, and how, is covered in [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained). ## What do email verification results mean?[#](#what-do-email-verification-results-mean) Verifiers use different labels, but they map onto the same few outcomes: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Common labels | What happened | Send? | | --- | --- | --- | | Valid, Verified, Deliverable | Server accepted this mailbox and rejected a made-up one | Yes | | Catch-all, Accept-all, Risky | Server accepts every address | Only as a separate, smaller segment | | Invalid, Undeliverable | Server rejected the mailbox, or the domain takes no mail | Never | | Unknown, Timeout | No usable answer | Not yet. Re-check later | | Disposable, Role (flags) | Deliverable, but a special type | Depends on your use | The most common mistake is reporting catch-all as valid. A verifier that does this makes its "valid" rate look high and your bounce rate pay for it. The second most common is reporting a failed check as invalid, which quietly deletes working addresses. ## What can't email verification tell you?[#](#what-cant-email-verification-tell-you) A verifier sees one SMTP reply at one moment. It can't see: - **Whether a person reads the inbox.** A mailbox can exist and be abandoned. - **What happens after the server says yes.** Some servers accept during the conversation and bounce later, after their own checks. Those late bounces count against you like any other. - **Whether you'll reach the inbox.** Spam filtering happens after delivery and depends on your domain's reputation, authentication and content, not on the address. - **Whether the address is who you think.** `jane@` might be Jane the owner, or a former employee whose mail now goes to someone else. - **Anything certain at catch-all domains.** No test, free or paid, can confirm a single mailbox on a server that accepts everything. - **Reliable answers from some large providers.** Big hosted and consumer mail services often answer every check the same way or limit checks from unknown senders. Microsoft's Outlook.com sender policy goes further and prohibits "namespace mining," which it describes as verifying addresses without sending to them. Expect more unknowns and catch-alls on these domains, and don't trust a verifier that claims certainty there. This is why a good verifier is honest about what it doesn't know. The grade is a measurement, not a promise. ## A worked example: what verification does to a list[#](#a-worked-example-what-verification-does-to-a-list) Here's an illustrative run on a list of local business addresses. The numbers are invented to show the arithmetic, not a measurement from any tool. You start with **1,000** addresses collected from business websites: 1. **Syntax and clean-up** removes 20 junk strings (placeholders, image names). 980 left. 2. **MX lookup** removes 30 whose domains no longer take mail (closed businesses, expired domains). 950 left. 3. **SMTP test**: 60 rejected as no such user, 40 unknown after retries. 850 accepted. 4. **Catch-all test**: 200 of the 850 are on accept-all domains. **650 verified.** So you have 650 verified, 200 accept-all, 40 to re-check, and 110 to drop. If you'd sent to all 1,000, the 110 dead addresses alone are an 11% bounce rate before counting any catch-all bounces. That's far above the thresholds most sending tools act on (see [what's a good cold email bounce rate](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate)). Sending the 650 first, then the 200 in small separate batches, keeps one bad segment from damaging the rest. ## How often should you re-verify an email list?[#](#how-often-should-you-re-verify-an-email-list) Re-verify any address you haven't checked in the last 30 days before you send to it, and re-check the whole list before a large campaign. That's our rule of thumb rather than a measured threshold, but the reasons it goes stale are well documented: - **People change jobs.** The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported median tenure with a current employer of 4.1 years in January 2026, and 3.0 years for workers aged 25 to 34. Every departure can close a named mailbox. - **Businesses close.** Of private-sector establishments born in March 2013, BLS found the survival rate fell 20.4 percentage points in the first year, and only 34.7% were still operating ten years later. When a business closes, its domain and mailboxes eventually go with it. - **Listings change too.** Google recommends refreshing stored Place IDs that are more than 12 months old, because places close, move and get new IDs. For local business lists, closures and domain changes matter more than job changes, because the address you want is often the shared `office@` inbox rather than a person's. A list built from Google Maps a year ago will contain businesses that have since closed, and their domains will start bouncing. Practical rhythm: - [ ] Verify at collection. - [ ] Re-verify before each send if the last check is more than 30 days old. - [ ] Remove every hard bounce immediately and add it to your suppression list. - [ ] Rebuild the list from source, not just re-verify, when it's more than a year old, so new businesses get in and closed ones drop out. ## How to choose an email verifier[#](#how-to-choose-an-email-verifier) Ask any verifier, including us, these questions: 1. **Does it separate catch-all from valid?** If it can't tell you which domains accept everything, its valid rate is meaningless. 2. **What does it do with timeouts and 4xx replies?** The right answer is "retry later," not "invalid." 3. **Does it send email to check?** It shouldn't need to. 4. **Does it tell you when an address was checked?** A grade without a date can't tell you whether it's stale. 5. **Does it charge for unknowns?** Some charge for every check, some only for conclusive ones. Read the pricing. If you're building lists of local businesses, verification works best when it's part of finding the email, not a separate step afterwards. That way every address carries its source page, grade and check date together. See [how Leadraft finds and checks emails](https://leadraft.co/product/emails) and [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing) if you want that in one place. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How does email verification work without sending an email?[#](#how-does-email-verification-work-without-sending-an-email) A verifier checks the address format, looks up the domain's MX records, then connects to the mail server and starts an SMTP conversation. It names the recipient with `RCPT TO`, reads the reply code (`250` accepted, `550` rejected), and hangs up before the `DATA` command, so no message is ever delivered. ### Is a verified email guaranteed not to bounce?[#](#is-a-verified-email-guaranteed-not-to-bounce) No. Verified means the mail server accepted that mailbox at the moment of the check. The mailbox can be closed later, the server can bounce mail after accepting it, and filtering can still block a message. Verification lowers bounce risk; it doesn't remove it. ### What does catch-all or accept-all mean in an email verifier?[#](#what-does-catch-all-or-accept-all-mean-in-an-email-verifier) The domain's server accepts mail for any address, including one that can't exist. Because it says yes to everything, its yes about your address proves nothing. Treat catch-all results as unconfirmed, not as valid. Our [catch-all guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) covers when they're worth sending to. ### Why do some verifiers return unknown?[#](#why-do-some-verifiers-return-unknown) The server didn't give a usable answer: it timed out, greylisted the check with a temporary 4xx code, rate-limited the verifier, or blocked it. An unknown is a failed check, not a bad address, and should be retried later rather than marked invalid. ### How often should I re-verify an email list?[#](#how-often-should-i-re-verify-an-email-list) Re-verify any address you haven't checked in the last 30 days before a send, and re-check a whole list before any large campaign. People change jobs and businesses close every month, so a list verified once slowly goes stale. The 30-day figure is a rule of thumb, not a measured threshold. ### Can email verification tell me if someone will read my email?[#](#can-email-verification-tell-me-if-someone-will-read-my-email) No. Verification can only tell you whether a mail server accepts an address. It can't tell you whether a person reads that inbox, whether your message will land in spam, or whether the address belongs to the person you think it does. ### What is the difference between email validation and email verification?[#](#what-is-the-difference-between-email-validation-and-email-verification) Validation checks that an address could work: correct format, a real domain and mail servers in its MX records. Verification adds an SMTP conversation with the mail server to check that the mailbox itself exists, stopping before any message is sent. For a cold list you need verification; validation alone misses closed mailboxes. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

How the test works, why a verifier should run it, and which tools do. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 5 min Category Deliverability To check if an email domain is catch-all, ask its mail server whether it would accept mail for an address that can't possibly exist, such as a long random string at the same domain. If the server says yes to that address too, it accepts everything, and the domain is catch-all. You can run that test by hand over SMTP, but in practice it's better to let an email verifier do it, because the test only gives honest answers when it runs from a mail-friendly server with a clean reputation. ## How does the catch-all test work?[#](#how-does-the-catch-all-test-work) The test compares two answers from the same mail server. A checker opens an SMTP conversation, the same one a real delivery uses, and names two recipients in turn with the `RCPT TO` command: the address you care about, then a made-up one. On a normal server, real and made-up addresses get different answers. A catch-all server says 250 OK to both, which is why those addresses get an Accept-all grade instead of Verified. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Real address | Made-up address | What it means | | --- | --- | --- | | `250` accepted | `550` rejected | Normal server. The real mailbox exists | | `550` rejected | `550` rejected | Normal server. The real address doesn't exist | | `250` accepted | `250` accepted | **Catch-all.** The server accepts everything, so the first yes proves nothing | | `4xx` or timeout | any | No answer yet. Retry later; don't conclude anything | The checker hangs up before the `DATA` step, so no message is sent. The full step-by-step pipeline, with reply codes, is in [how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works). ## How do I check for catch-all manually?[#](#how-do-i-check-for-catch-all-manually) Conceptually, a manual check is five steps: 1. **Look up the domain's MX records** to find its mail server. Our free [email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker) shows them. 2. **Connect to that server on port 25** and introduce yourself (`EHLO`). 3. **Name a sender** with `MAIL FROM`. 4. **Name a made-up recipient** with `RCPT TO`, something like a 20-character random string at the domain. 5. **Read the reply.** A `250` means the server accepts unknown addresses: catch-all. A `550`\-type reply means it rejects them, so its answer for a real address means something. Note that the email domain checker covers step 1 only. It reads DNS (MX, SPF and DMARC records) and never talks to the mail server, so it can't tell you whether a domain is catch-all. ## Why shouldn't I run SMTP checks from my own computer?[#](#why-shouldnt-i-run-smtp-checks-from-my-own-computer) Because where the check comes from changes the answer, and can harm your network's reputation. - **Port 25 is often blocked.** Many internet providers block outbound port 25 from home connections. Cloud platforms do too: Amazon EC2 blocks port 25 to public addresses by default, and Google Compute Engine blocks connections to destination port 25 outside your network. - **Home IPs are on blocklists.** Spamhaus's Policy Blocklist lists end-user IP ranges "from which email should never be sent directly to the final destination." Many mail servers refuse or distrust connections from those ranges, so you get errors, not answers. - **Probing looks like harvesting.** Checking many addresses at one domain from one IP looks like someone mining the domain for valid mailboxes. Microsoft's Outlook.com sender policy names "namespace mining" as a prohibited practice. Servers that notice may block the IP, and the block can hit your real email if it shares that IP. - **Greylisting gives false negatives.** Some servers answer unknown senders with a temporary `4xx` code on purpose. A one-off manual check reads that as a failure. A one-off check of a single domain is unlikely to cause trouble. Running it over a list is what a verifier is for. ## Which tools check whether an email is catch-all?[#](#which-tools-check-whether-an-email-is-catch-all) Most dedicated email verifiers run the catch-all test as part of every check and label the result. The label differs by tool: "catch-all", "accept-all", "accept all" or "risky". Examples include ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, MillionVerifier, Bouncer and Hunter's email verifier. Most offer a small number of free checks; see each vendor's pricing page for current limits. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool type | Detects catch-all? | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | DNS or MX checker | No | Shows whether the domain takes mail at all | | Email verifier (SMTP) | Yes | Runs the made-up-address test | | Lead tool with built-in verification | Depends | Ask whether it checks the mailbox over SMTP or only the domain | The last row matters. Some tools that call their check "verification" only look up the domain. We explain the difference in [domain check vs mailbox check](https://leadraft.co/blog/domain-check-vs-mailbox-check). A quick test: if a tool never returns a catch-all result, it probably isn't asking the mail server. ## What should I do with catch-all addresses?[#](#what-should-i-do-with-catch-all-addresses) Treat them as unconfirmed and send them separately. Hunter tested this: in its sample, 38% of email domains were accept-all, and a test send to 100 accept-all addresses bounced 27% of the time, against 1% for 100 verified addresses. Send verified addresses first, send catch-alls later in small batches, and prefer addresses the business published on its own site over guessed ones. Our guide to [catch-all emails](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) has the full decision rules. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I know if an email domain is catch-all?[#](#how-do-i-know-if-an-email-domain-is-catch-all) Ask the domain's mail server, during an SMTP conversation, whether it would accept mail for a random address that can't exist. If it accepts that address too, the domain is catch-all. Email verifiers run this test for you and report the result as catch-all, accept-all or risky. ### Can I check for catch-all without sending an email?[#](#can-i-check-for-catch-all-without-sending-an-email) Yes. The test stops before any message is sent: the checker names the recipient with `RCPT TO`, reads the server's reply, and disconnects. No email is delivered to anyone. ### Does an MX lookup or domain checker show if a domain is catch-all?[#](#does-an-mx-lookup-or-domain-checker-show-if-a-domain-is-catch-all) No. DNS records such as MX, SPF and DMARC show whether a domain can receive mail and how it's configured, but whether the server accepts every address is only visible by asking the server itself over SMTP. ### Should I run catch-all checks from my own computer?[#](#should-i-run-catch-all-checks-from-my-own-computer) Usually not. Many home and office internet connections block outbound port 25, home IP ranges are often listed on blocklists such as Spamhaus's Policy Blocklist, and repeated probes from one IP can look like address harvesting. Use a verifier that runs the checks from servers set up for it. ### Is a catch-all email address invalid?[#](#is-a-catch-all-email-address-invalid) No. It means the check couldn't tell. The mailbox might exist and be read every day, or mail might go to an unread inbox or bounce later. Treat it as unconfirmed: a maybe, never a yes. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find a small business owner's email address Find the owner's name (website, state filings, licenses, BBB, LinkedIn), build the likely email formats, verify them, and handle catch-all domains honestly. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Guide To find a small business owner's email, first find the owner's name, then work out the address. The name is usually on the business's About page, its state business filing, a professional license lookup, its BBB profile or LinkedIn. With a name and the business's domain, try the common formats (`john@`, `jsmith@`, `john.smith@`) and verify each one against the mail server before you send. If the domain is catch-all, no check can confirm the guess, so treat it as a maybe. This guide goes step by step, with where each source is strong and weak, and when you shouldn't bother with the owner at all. ## Do I actually need the owner's email?[#](#do-i-actually-need-the-owners-email) Often you don't. At a business with a handful of people, the address on the website (`info@`, `office@`) is usually read by the owner or by the person who runs the office for them. It's also the address the business chose to publish, which matters for how your email is received. Look for the owner when: - **The business is bigger** than about ten people, and `info@` goes to a front desk. - **The published address clearly goes to a system**, like `bookings@` or `orders@`. - **Your offer only makes sense to the owner**: financing, selling the business, partnership, insurance for the business itself. If none of those apply, start with the published address. Our guide on [finding the email of any local business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses) covers that. ## Where can I find the owner's name?[#](#where-can-i-find-the-owners-name) Use at least two of these sources and confirm the name in both. Each one has a different failure mode. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Source | What it gives you | Watch out for | | --- | --- | --- | | The website's About or Team page | Owner's name, often a photo and their story | Can be years out of date after a sale | | State business filing (Secretary of State) | Officers, managers, CEO or organizer, depending on the state | Many show only a registered agent or filing service | | Professional license lookup | The licensed individual (contractor, plumber, cosmetologist) | The license holder may be an employee, not the owner | | BBB profile | "Business Management" and principal contact names | BBB doesn't verify third-party information \[1\] | | LinkedIn | Title ("Owner", "Founder") and current employer | Many trades owners have no profile, or a stale one | | Google reviews | Owner replies, sometimes signed with a first name | First name only | | Local news, chamber, awards pages | Name with context ("opened in 2019 by…") | Older articles go stale | ### The website's About page[#](#the-websites-about-page) Owner-run businesses love telling their story: "Family owned since 1987. Mike and Lisa Ramirez." That's your name. Also check the footer copyright line, the team page and the blog author names. ### State business filings (Secretary of State)[#](#state-business-filings-secretary-of-state) Every state lets you search registered businesses, usually for free. What the record shows varies a lot: - **New York's** Department of State publishes its active corporations as open data, including a "CEO Name" field for corporations \[2\]. - **Colorado's** business entity dataset lists the entity's principal address and its registered agent, not its owners \[3\]. - **Texas** charges $1 per search on SOSDirect, its online lookup \[4\]. Two traps. First, the registered agent or organizer is often an accountant, a lawyer or an online filing service, not the owner. Second, don't expect a federal list of owners: since March 2025, US companies no longer have to report beneficial ownership to FinCEN, and that register was never public anyway \[5\]. ### Professional license lookups[#](#professional-license-lookups) For licensed trades (contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, cosmetology, real estate, many health professions), the state licensing board's lookup names the license holder. In a one-truck business, that's the owner. In a larger one, it may be a "qualifier" employee. It's a strong second source for confirming a name you found elsewhere. ### BBB and LinkedIn[#](#bbb-and-linkedin) BBB profiles often list a "Business Management" section with names and titles like President/Owner or Managing Member \[1\]. On LinkedIn, search for the business name plus "owner" or "founder", and check the profile's current employer matches. Read profiles by hand: LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits scraping its services \[6\]. ## How do I work out the owner's email address?[#](#how-do-i-work-out-the-owners-email-address) Once you have a name and the business's domain, generate the likely formats. For owner "John Smith" at `smithplumbing.com`, small businesses most often use: 1. `john@smithplumbing.com` 2. `jsmith@smithplumbing.com` 3. `john.smith@smithplumbing.com` 4. `johnsmith@smithplumbing.com` 5. `smith@smithplumbing.com` 6. `j.smith@smithplumbing.com` Our free [email permutator](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-permutator) builds the full list from a name and domain, most common first. Before you start, check the domain accepts mail at all with the [email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker): no MX records, no email. **Use what you've already seen.** If the website shows `lisa@smithplumbing.com` for the office manager, the owner is very likely `john@`. One real address on the domain tells you the pattern. **Many owners use a free mailbox.** If the website or Facebook Page lists `smithplumbingtx@gmail.com`, that probably is the owner. Don't try to guess free-mailbox addresses from a name; there are too many possibilities and verification is unreliable on large consumer providers. ## How do I verify the owner's email before sending?[#](#how-do-i-verify-the-owners-email-before-sending) Run every candidate through an email verifier. It looks up the domain's mail servers and asks whether the mailbox exists, without sending a message. You'll get one of three results: A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. - **Valid:** the server confirmed this mailbox exists. Use it. - **Catch-all (accept-all):** the server says yes to _every_ address, real or not. Your guess might be right, and the check can't tell you. Treat it as a maybe, never a yes. - **Invalid:** the mailbox doesn't exist. Try the next format. Some small-business domains are catch-all. If the domain is catch-all, prefer the format you've seen used on the site, send to the published address instead, or send to the guess only in small numbers and watch bounces. [Catch-all emails, explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) goes deeper, and our [verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) explains exactly what a check can and can't prove. ## A worked example[#](#a-worked-example) Here's how the steps fit together for a made-up business, Ramirez Heating & Air in Phoenix: 1. **Maps listing** gives the website `ramirezhvac.com` and a phone number. 2. **About page** says "Founded by Mike Ramirez in 2011." 3. **State contractor license lookup** lists Michael Ramirez as the license holder. Two sources agree. 4. **Domain check:** `ramirezhvac.com` has MX records. 5. **Contact page** shows `service@ramirezhvac.com`. No pattern for people yet. 6. **Candidates:** `mike@`, `michael@`, `mramirez@`, `mike.ramirez@`. 7. **Verify:** `mike@` comes back valid, the others invalid. Done. If step 7 had come back catch-all for everything, the honest choice is to email `service@` (a published address) and ask for Mike. ## Is it ethical, and legal, to email an owner directly?[#](#is-it-ethical-and-legal-to-email-an-owner-directly) It can be both, if the message is relevant to their business and you make it easy to say no. - **United States.** CAN-SPAM applies to business email and doesn't require prior consent. It does require accurate headers, a non-deceptive subject line, your postal address, a clear opt-out and honoring opt-outs within 10 business days; penalties run up to $53,088 per violating email \[7\]. - **UK, EU and Canada.** An owner's named address (`mike@`) is personal data, and sole traders are treated like individuals. The UK's PECR rules on marketing email cover sole traders and some partnerships, not limited companies, but UK GDPR still applies to named people \[8\]. Canada's CASL allows implied consent for a conspicuously published business address only when the message is relevant to the person's role \[9\]. - **Common sense.** Use business addresses, not a home address or a personal social account. Keep one email per person, keep a suppression list, and stop the moment someone asks. This isn't legal advice. If you're emailing at volume, or outside the US, talk to a lawyer. Our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) has more. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I find out who owns a small business?[#](#how-do-i-find-out-who-owns-a-small-business) Check the business's About page first, then the state business filing (Secretary of State search), any professional license lookup for the trade, the BBB profile and LinkedIn. Owner replies to Google reviews are sometimes signed with a name too. Confirm the name in two places before you use it. ### Do state business filings show the owner's name?[#](#do-state-business-filings-show-the-owners-name) Sometimes. It depends on the state and the entity type. Some filings list officers, managers or a CEO; many only show a registered agent or the person who filed, which is often a filing service or an accountant rather than the owner. ### What email format do small business owners use?[#](#what-email-format-do-small-business-owners-use) The most common are first name at the domain (john@), first initial plus last name (jsmith@) and first.last (john.smith@). Many owners also use a free mailbox. Generate the candidates and verify each one before sending. ### How do I verify an owner's email without sending a message?[#](#how-do-i-verify-an-owners-email-without-sending-a-message) Use an email verifier, which looks up the domain's mail servers and asks whether the mailbox exists without sending anything. If the server accepts every address (a catch-all domain), the check can't confirm your guess, so treat it as a maybe. ### Is it legal to email a business owner I found this way?[#](#is-it-legal-to-email-a-business-owner-i-found-this-way) In the US, CAN-SPAM allows business cold email if you identify yourself, use an honest subject line, include a postal address and a working opt-out, and honor opt-outs within 10 business days. In the UK, EU and Canada, an owner's named address is personal data and stricter rules apply. Get legal advice for your case. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find businesses to cold call: build the list, time the calls, follow the rules Build a cold-calling list of local businesses with phone and hours, call at the right time, and follow the B2B rules: the FTC's DNC exemption and the TCPA. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To find businesses to cold call, choose one trade in one area, list every business of that type from Google Maps with its phone number and opening hours, remove duplicates, and call during the hours when the owner is there but customers aren't. A good list has more than a phone number: the hours tell you when to call, the website and reviews give you something specific to say, and the category keeps your script relevant. Most US business-to-business calls are outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but autodialers, prerecorded or AI voices and texts to cell phones carry real legal risk. ## What makes a good cold-calling list?[#](#what-makes-a-good-cold-calling-list) A good list is narrow (one trade, one area), current (the phone works and the business is open) and has enough context to open the call with something true. These are the columns that matter: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | What it's for | | --- | --- | | Business name | Ask for it by name: "Is this Lakeside Plumbing?" | | Phone | The main listed number | | Hours | When to call, and whether they're open at all | | Category | Picks the script | | Website | Two minutes of research before the call | | Rating and reviews | A size and activity signal, and an opener | | City and state | Time zone, local references | | Address | Spotting multi-location businesses that share one number | Owner names are useful but rarely on a Maps listing. If you need them, see [how to find the owner of a business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-the-owner-of-a-business). Otherwise ask for the owner by role ("Who handles your marketing?"), which works fine on small-business calls. ## How do I build a list of businesses to call?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-businesses-to-call) Build it from Google Maps, one trade at a time, then clean it before you dial. 1. **Choose one trade and one area.** Plumbers in three counties, or dentists in one metro. One trade means one script you can improve. 2. **Search every term for the trade.** "Plumber", "plumbing contractor" and "drain cleaning" are different Google Maps categories and return different businesses. 3. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows only about 120 results, so search by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Export to a spreadsheet** with the columns above. 5. **Remove duplicate phone numbers.** Multi-location businesses often list one central number. Keep one row per number so you don't call the same office five times. 6. **Remove businesses that are closed** or have no hours listed and no recent reviews. 7. **Sort by fit.** Put the businesses that match your best customers first: similar size (reviews), the services you help with (website), and areas you serve. 8. **Add your do-not-call list.** Anyone who has asked you not to call again comes off before every session. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## When is the best time to cold call a business?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-cold-call-a-business) Call when the decision maker is on site and not serving customers. That depends on the trade, so use the listed hours and test a few windows. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Trade | Often works | Usually avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Plumbers, HVAC, roofers, electricians | Early morning before crews leave; late afternoon | Midday, when owners are on jobs | | Restaurants and bars | Mid-afternoon between lunch and dinner | Lunch and dinner service, Friday and Saturday evenings | | Dentists, clinics, med spas | Mid-morning or mid-afternoon, after the first patients | First 30 minutes of the day, lunch | | Salons | Weekday mornings | Saturdays, evenings | | Offices (law, accounting, insurance) | Mid-morning, mid-afternoon | Monday early, Friday late; tax season for accountants | | Retail | Weekday mornings after opening | Weekends, holidays | These windows are starting points from common practice, not measured results. Log every call with the hour and outcome for two weeks, then shift your schedule toward the hours where you actually reach owners. Mind time zones: a list that spans Eastern and Pacific time needs two calling blocks. For residential numbers, the TCPA rules bar telephone solicitations before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. in the called party's time zone; it's a sensible outer limit for any call. ## Worked example: how many numbers do you need?[#](#worked-example-how-many-numbers-do-you-need) Assumptions, for illustration only, not measured: you call HVAC contractors, dialing by hand. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rate (assumed) | Per 400 numbers | | --- | --- | --- | | Numbers dialed | 100% | 400 | | Someone answers | 50% | 200 | | Reach the owner or decision maker | 35% of answers | 70 | | Real conversation (over a minute) | 60% of those | 42 | | Meeting or next step booked | 15% of conversations | about 6 | At an assumed 40 dials an hour, 400 numbers is 10 hours of calling for about six meetings, and most owners you don't reach need two or three more attempts on different days. Replace every assumed rate with your own after the first week. The number that matters most is meetings per hour of calling, by trade. ## What are the rules for B2B cold calling in the US?[#](#what-are-the-rules-for-b2b-cold-calling-in-the-us) Most business-to-business calls are exempt from the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) and the National Do Not Call Registry, but the exemption has limits and the TCPA applies separately. This is a summary, not legal advice. ### The FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule[#](#the-ftc-telemarketing-sales-rule) - **The B2B exemption.** The FTC says most calls between a telemarketer and a business are exempt from the TSR. - **Exceptions.** Calls to induce the retail sale of nondurable office or cleaning supplies are not exempt. Calls to business lines that pitch employees products for their own personal use are not exempt either. - **Since 2024, no misrepresentations.** The FTC's 2024 amendments, effective May 16, 2024, apply the TSR's ban on misrepresentations to all B2B telemarketing. Don't misstate who you are, what you sell or what it costs. The same amendments confirm the TSR covers calls using AI-generated or cloned voices. ### The National Do Not Call Registry[#](#the-national-do-not-call-registry) The FTC states that the Registry is for personal phone numbers and that business numbers aren't covered. Two cautions: many sole traders list their personal cell as the business number, and anyone can ask you not to call again. Keep an internal do-not-call list and honor every request. ### The TCPA and FCC rules[#](#the-tcpa-and-fcc-rules) The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, enforced by the FCC, has no general business-to-business exemption for these points: - **Autodialers and artificial or prerecorded voices to cell phones** need the called party's prior express consent; for telemarketing, prior express written consent (47 CFR 64.1200(a)). - **AI voices.** In February 2024 the FCC ruled that AI-generated voices are "artificial" voices under the TCPA, so the same consent rules apply. - **Texts.** The FCC's do-not-call rules apply to telemarketing texts to wireless numbers (47 CFR 64.1200(e)). Don't send cold marketing texts to numbers from a business listing. - **Calling hours.** Telephone solicitations to residential subscribers are barred before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m. local time (47 CFR 64.1200(c)(1)). The safe default for a cold list: dial by hand, use a live person, no prerecorded messages, no texts without consent. ### State laws[#](#state-laws) Some states have their own telemarketing laws, registration requirements or rules on automated calls that go further than federal law, and some require every party's consent before you record a call. If you call into several states, check each one or ask a lawyer. Outside the US, rules differ: the UK's Corporate Telephone Preference Service lets businesses opt out of sales calls, and Canada runs its own National Do Not Call List rules. Google's Maps Platform terms also restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content. That's a contract issue, separate from telemarketing law and from whether the data is public. See [is scraping Google Maps legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal). ## What should I say? A cold call script[#](#what-should-i-say-a-cold-call-script) Keep the opener short, say why you're calling them specifically, and ask a question that's easy to answer. ``` "Hi, is this {{business}}? ... My name is [Name] with [Company]. I'll be quick. I work with {{category}} businesses in {{city}} on [one specific outcome, e.g. booking more maintenance calls in the slow months]. I saw you've got {{reviews}} reviews on Google, so you're clearly busy. Who handles that side of the business? ... Is now a bad time, or do you have two minutes?" ``` If they're not interested: ``` "No problem. Should I take you off my list, or is it all right to check back in a few months?" ``` If they say take me off, do it before the next call and don't call again. Write down what each person says; the objections you hear most often are your next script edit.

Remove duplicate phone numbers, sort by fit, and call during each business's quiet hours. A few hundred well-chosen numbers beat thousands of random ones. ### Is it legal to cold call businesses in the US?[#](#is-it-legal-to-cold-call-businesses-in-the-us) Generally yes. Most business-to-business calls are exempt from the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule and the National Do Not Call Registry, which covers personal numbers. Exceptions: calls selling nondurable office or cleaning supplies are covered, and since 2024 the ban on misrepresentations applies to all B2B telemarketing. Autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent under the TCPA. State laws can add more. Get legal advice for your situation. ### Do I need to check business numbers against the Do Not Call list?[#](#do-i-need-to-check-business-numbers-against-the-do-not-call-list) The FTC says the National Do Not Call Registry is for personal phone numbers and business numbers aren't covered. But many small businesses list an owner's personal cell as the business number, and some states have their own rules, so honor every request not to be called again and keep an internal do-not-call list. ### What is the best time to cold call a small business?[#](#what-is-the-best-time-to-cold-call-a-small-business) When the person who decides is there and not busy with customers. For trades that's often early morning before crews leave or late afternoon; for restaurants, mid-afternoon between lunch and dinner; for offices and clinics, mid-morning or mid-afternoon. Use the business's listed hours and test times on your own list. ### Can I use an autodialer or text messages for B2B cold outreach?[#](#can-i-use-an-autodialer-or-text-messages-for-b2b-cold-outreach) Be careful. Under the TCPA, calls made with an autodialer or an artificial or prerecorded voice to cell numbers need prior express consent, and telemarketing ones need prior express written consent, whether or not the person is a business. FCC rules apply the do-not-call protections to texts to wireless numbers, and the FCC has said AI-generated voices count as artificial voices. Dial by hand unless you have consent. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find (and verify) the email address of any local business: 7 methods Seven ways to find a local business's email, from the contact page to WHOIS to pattern guessing, with a decision flow, a realistic hit rate and how to verify. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 12 min Category Guide To find a local business's email, start from its Google Maps listing, open the website it links to, and check the contact page, the footer and the privacy policy. That finds most of the emails that exist. If the site has none, check the business's Facebook Page, then directories, and only then guess a pattern like `info@` and verify it before you send. Expect to find an email for roughly half of the businesses you try, not all of them. The seven methods below are in the order we'd use them, from highest yield to lowest. After them there's a decision flow you can copy, a realistic hit rate, and how to check what you found. ## Which method should I try first?[#](#which-method-should-i-try-first) Start with the business's own website and work down. This table compares the seven methods; "time" is how long a manual check usually takes, a rough guide rather than a measurement. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Method | Where you look | What it usually gives you | Time per business | Cost | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1\.

See [which tools find local business emails at scale](#which-tools-find-local-business-emails-at-scale) below. ## Why are local business emails hard to find?[#](#why-are-local-business-emails-hard-to-find) Local business emails are hard to find because they aren't where most tools look. The common email finders (Hunter, Apollo and the like) are strongest on companies whose staff have LinkedIn profiles and predictable `first.last@company.com` addresses. A family-run HVAC company has neither. Users in the Clay community and elsewhere report finder tools returning results for only about half of local businesses \[1\]. Google Maps doesn't help directly either: a Google Business Profile has no email field at all \[2\]. What Maps does give you is the website. That's where you start. ## Method 1: The website's contact page, footer and About page[#](#method-1-the-websites-contact-page-footer-and-about-page) The business's own website is the single best source, and three pages on it carry most emails: 1. **Contact page.** Look at visible text and at `mailto:` links (hover over "Email us" to see the address). 2. **Footer.** Small-business sites often repeat the email next to the phone number on every page. 3. **About or Team page.** Owner-run firms often list the owner's direct address here, which is usually the one you want. If the site has no obvious contact page, try the URLs directly: `/contact`, `/contact-us`, `/about`. Some sites only render their content after JavaScript runs, so if a page looks empty, give it a few seconds in a real browser. **Watch for addresses that aren't the business.** A footer email on the web designer's domain, `example@domain.com` placeholders, and strings like `logo@2x.png` that look like emails all show up on real sites. Keep only addresses on the business's own domain, or a free mailbox (`smithplumbing@gmail.com`) when the business clearly runs on one. ## Method 2: The privacy policy, terms and a site search[#](#method-2-the-privacy-policy-terms-and-a-site-search) When the contact page only has a form, the legal pages often still list an email, because privacy policies usually name a contact for data requests. Check: - **Privacy policy** and **terms** (often linked from the footer). - **Careers, booking or "request a quote"** pages, which sometimes list a separate office address. - **A search engine.** These Google search operators are the most useful, using a made-up domain: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Search | What it finds | | --- | --- | | `"@smithplumbing.com"` | The address quoted anywhere on the web: directories, PDFs, old posts | | `site:smithplumbing.com email` | Pages on the site that mention "email" | | `site:smithplumbing.com "@"` | Pages on the site with an @ sign, including addresses in plain text | | `site:smithplumbing.com contact OR about OR privacy` | The pages most likely to list an address, if the menu hides them | | `"Smith Plumbing" Tulsa email` | Listings and mentions of the business by name and city | | `"Smith Plumbing" site:facebook.com` | The business's Facebook Page, for Method 4 | | `filetype:pdf "smithplumbing.com"` | Brochures, menus and price lists, which often carry an email | ## Method 3: The Google Business Profile itself[#](#method-3-the-google-business-profile-itself) The profile won't give you an email field, but it's worth a look for two reasons. First, it gives you the **website** and **phone number**, which you need for everything else. Second, some owners type an email into the 750-character business description \[2\]. It's rare, but it costs ten seconds to check. If the "website" on the listing is a Facebook Page, a booking platform or a link-in-bio page, that tells you the business probably has no site of its own, and you can skip straight to Method 4. We cover the profile fields in detail in [does Google Maps show email addresses](https://leadraft.co/blog/does-google-maps-show-emails). ## Method 4: The business's Facebook Page[#](#method-4-the-businesss-facebook-page) Many local businesses keep their Facebook Page more current than their website, and plenty have no website at all. Open the Page and check the **About** section and its contact info, where businesses often list an email. Facebook is especially useful for restaurants, salons, gyms and trades businesses that started on social media. If you can't see the About details, you may need to be signed in. Copy the address by hand; don't run scrapers against Facebook, which its terms prohibit. ## Method 5: Directories (Yelp, BBB, chambers, trade associations)[#](#method-5-directories-yelp-bbb-chambers-trade-associations) Directories are better at confirming a business's website and owner name than at giving you an email: - **Yelp** steers people to call, visit the website, or message and request quotes inside Yelp. Use it to find the website if Maps didn't have one. - **BBB profiles** often list the owner or principal contact by name under "Business Management", which helps with [finding the owner's email](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-business-owner-email). BBB says it doesn't verify third-party information on profiles, so treat names as a lead, not a fact \[3\]. - **Chamber of commerce and trade association directories** (state plumbing or dental associations, for example) sometimes list a member email. They're worth checking for licensed trades. ## Method 6: WHOIS and RDAP (mostly redacted now)[#](#method-6-whois-and-rdap-mostly-redacted-now) A domain's registration record used to show the owner's name and email. Today it rarely does. Since the GDPR took effect in 2018, most registrars redact personal contact details, and ICANN's Registration Data Policy, in force from August 21, 2025, formalized how registration data is handled \[4\]. Cloudflare, for example, shows "Data Redacted" for the registrant's name, email and postal address, and forwards messages through a contact form instead \[5\]. You can still look up a domain with an RDAP or WHOIS tool. It's worth it for one reason: if a business registered its domain as a company, rather than an individual, the record is sometimes unredacted. Expect that on a small minority of domains. ## Method 7: Guess the pattern, then verify it[#](#method-7-guess-the-pattern-then-verify-it) When nothing above turns up an address, you can construct one. Small businesses use a handful of patterns: - **Role addresses:** `info@`, `office@`, `contact@`, `hello@`, `service@`, `appointments@` (for clinics and salons). - **Owner addresses:** `john@`, `jsmith@`, `john.smith@`, if you know the owner's name (see [how to find a business owner's email](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-business-owner-email)). Our free [email permutator](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-permutator) generates the likely formats from a name and a domain. Before guessing at all, check that the domain accepts mail: our [email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker) looks up its MX records. No MX records means no email on that domain, so stop. A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. **A guess is not an email until it's verified.** Verification asks the domain's mail server whether it would accept mail for that mailbox, without sending anything. Two caveats: - **Catch-all domains** accept every address, so a guess on a catch-all domain can't be confirmed. Treat it as a maybe. [Catch-all emails, explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained). - **Unverified guesses bounce.** Bounces tell mailbox providers your list is careless. Don't send to a guess you couldn't check. ## A decision flow you can copy[#](#a-decision-flow-you-can-copy) Use this for each business on your list. It stops as soon as you have a usable address. ```text 1. Does the Maps listing have a website? - No -> go to 5 (Facebook / directories) - Yes -> 2 2. Does the domain have MX records? - No -> no email on this domain; go to 5 - Yes -> 3 3. Check contact page, footer, About page, privacy page. - Found an address on the business's domain -> 7 (verify) - Found only a contact form -> 4 4. Search the web for "@domain.com". - Found -> 7 (verify) - Nothing -> 6 (guess) 5. Check the Facebook Page About section, then BBB / chamber / association listings. - Found -> 7 (verify) - Nothing -> call or use the contact form; mark "no email" 6. Guess info@ / office@ / owner patterns. -> 7 (verify) 7. Verify against the mail server. - Valid -> use it - Catch-all -> keep as a maybe; send last, in small numbers - Invalid -> discard; next guess or mark "no email" ``` Write down the **source** of every address (which page, or "guess"). It tells you later which ones to trust, and it's what you'll need if anyone asks where you got their email. ## How many businesses will I actually find an email for?[#](#how-many-businesses-will-i-actually-find-an-email-for) Roughly half of the businesses that have a website, before verification. In Leadraft's own runs, about 54% of business websites gave up an email address. That's a found address, not a verified one, and it varies by trade and city. Here's what that means for a list of 500 businesses from Google Maps, assuming 400 have a website (count your own; the share varies a lot by trade): Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Businesses | How we got it | | --- | --- | --- | | On your Maps list | 500 | | | With a website | 400 | assumed for this example | | Website gives an email | about 216 | 400 × 54% | | After verification | fewer | some will be catch-all or invalid | The other half aren't lost. Call them, use their contact form, send a letter, or walk in. For local sales, that's often how the best accounts start. ## Can ChatGPT or Claude find a local business's email?[#](#can-chatgpt-or-claude-find-a-local-businesss-email) Sometimes, for one business at a time. An assistant with web browsing can open the business's website and read the contact page for you, which is Method 1 done by a model. Two cautions. It can make up a plausible address (`info@` on the right domain) that it never saw, so ask for the page it found the address on and check it. And it doesn't verify the mailbox, so the address still needs a check before you send. For a whole list, an assistant connected to a lead tool through MCP is the more reliable route: Leadraft's [MCP server](https://leadraft.co/mcp) works with Claude and Cursor (ChatGPT connectors aren't supported yet). ## Where do different kinds of local business publish their email?[#](#where-do-different-kinds-of-local-business-publish-their-email) The order of the methods stays the same, but the place you find the address shifts by trade: - **Trades (plumbers, HVAC, roofers, electricians):** the contact page or footer of a simple site, or the Facebook Page for one-person outfits. Many use a free mailbox. See the [plumber](https://leadraft.co/leads/plumbers) and [HVAC](https://leadraft.co/leads/hvac-contractors) lead pages. - **Restaurants, bars and cafes:** often a Facebook or Instagram profile, an events or catering page, or a booking platform rather than a contact page. See [restaurant leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/restaurants). - **Clinics (dentists, chiropractors, med spas):** a role address like `appointments@` or `office@` on the contact page, and a separate address on the privacy policy. See [dentist leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists). - **Professional offices (law, accounting, insurance):** named staff addresses on the team or attorney pages, which makes the owner easier to reach directly. ## Should I email info@ or find the owner?[#](#should-i-email-info-or-find-the-owner) Email the address you found first. At a business with fewer than ten people, `info@` is usually read by the owner or the person who runs the office, and it's the address the business chose to publish. Go looking for the owner's personal address when the business is bigger, when `info@` clearly goes to a booking system, or when your offer only makes sense to the owner. [How to find a small business owner's email](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-business-owner-email) covers that in detail. ## Which tools find local business emails at scale?[#](#which-tools-find-local-business-emails-at-scale) Doing the flow above by hand takes a few minutes per business. For a few dozen that's fine. For a few thousand, use an [email finder](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-finder) that does the same steps, and judge it on three things: 1. **Where the emails come from.** The business's own website beats a contact database for local firms. Ask the vendor. 2. **Whether it verifies,** and whether catch-all is reported separately or quietly counted as valid. 3. **Whether it keeps the source page,** so you can check a sample yourself. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the fastest way to find a local business's email?[#](#what-is-the-fastest-way-to-find-a-local-businesss-email) Open the business's own website and check the contact page, the footer and the privacy policy, in that order. Most small businesses that publish an email put it in one of those three places. Get the website from the business's Google Maps listing. ### Why do email finder tools miss so many local businesses?[#](#why-do-email-finder-tools-miss-so-many-local-businesses) Most email finders are built on databases of employees at companies with a LinkedIn presence. A five-person plumbing firm often has no employee profiles to match, so the tool returns nothing. For local businesses, the business's own website is the better source. ### Can I find a business email through WHOIS?[#](#can-i-find-a-business-email-through-whois) Rarely. Since GDPR in 2018 and ICANN's later registration data policy, most registrars redact the registrant's name and email and offer a contact form or forwarding address instead. WHOIS still shows the registrar and dates, which can tell you who hosts the site. ### Is it OK to guess an email address like info@ or the owner's first name?[#](#is-it-ok-to-guess-an-email-address-like-info-or-the-owners-first-name) Guessing is fine as a last step only if you verify the result before sending. Unverified guesses bounce, and bounces hurt your sender reputation. If the domain is catch-all, a guess can't be confirmed, so treat it as a maybe. ### What percentage of local businesses have a findable email?[#](#what-percentage-of-local-businesses-have-a-findable-email) In Leadraft's runs, about 54% of business websites gave up an email address, found but not yet verified. Businesses without a website are lower again. Plan for roughly half of a list being reachable by email, and use phone or mail for the rest. ### What should I do if a business only has a contact form?[#](#what-should-i-do-if-a-business-only-has-a-contact-form) Use the form, by hand, with a short personal message. It reaches the same inbox as an email would. Don't automate form submissions, and check the site's privacy page and Facebook Page first, since many form-only sites still list an address there. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Guide To find the owner of a business, check the business's own website first (About page, team page, footer), then the public records: your state's business entity search, the county's DBA or assumed-name filings, and the licensing board for the trade. BBB profiles, LinkedIn, local news and Google review replies often name the owner too. If none of those work, call and ask. Confirm any name in two independent sources before you use it, because records go stale and filing agents often appear in place of owners. This guide covers every legitimate method, what each one actually reveals, and where it misleads. If you already have a name and want the address, read [how to find a business owner's email](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-business-owner-email). ## Which method should I try first?[#](#which-method-should-i-try-first) Start with whatever the business published itself, then move to public records, then to people. The table below is in rough order of effort. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Method | Cost | What it reveals | Main trap | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Website About / Team / footer | Free | Owner's name, often photo and story | Can be out of date after a sale | Owner-run local businesses | | Google Business Profile reviews | Free | Owner replies, sometimes signed | Often first name only | Restaurants, salons, trades | | State business entity search | Free to a few dollars | Legal name, status, registered agent; managers or officers in some states | Agent or filing service shown instead of owner | LLCs and corporations | | County DBA / assumed name records | Free search in many counties | The owner behind a trade name | Coverage and search tools vary by county | Sole proprietors, trade names | | Professional license lookup | Free | The licensed individual or qualifier | License holder may be an employee | Contractors, trades, health, real estate | | County assessor / recorder | Free | Owner of the property and a mailing address | Shows the landlord, not the tenant | Businesses that own their building | | BBB profile | Free | "Business Management" names and titles | BBB doesn't verify third-party information | Established local businesses | | LinkedIn | Free (manual) | Title, tenure, employer | Many trades owners aren't on it | Professional services, B2B | | Local news, chamber, awards | Free | Name with context ("opened in 2019 by…") | Older articles go stale | Newer and community-facing businesses | | Phone call | Your time | The right name and how to reach them | Gatekeepers | Everything else | ## How do I find the owner on the business's website?[#](#how-do-i-find-the-owner-on-the-businesss-website) Read the About page, the team page, the footer and the blog author names. Owner-run businesses like to tell their story ("Family owned since 1987. Mike and Lisa Ramirez."), and that sentence is often the most reliable name you'll get, because the business chose to publish it. Also check: - **Press or "In the news" pages,** which link to articles that name the founder. - **The privacy policy or terms,** which name the legal entity (useful for the state search below). - **The site's contact page,** where a named address like `mike@` hints at who's in charge. On Google Maps, open the business's reviews and look at the replies. Owners often sign them ("Thanks, Dave"). It's a first name, but it pairs well with a full name from another source. ## How do I look up a business in state records?[#](#how-do-i-look-up-a-business-in-state-records) Search the state's business entity database, usually run by the Secretary of State. It gives you the legal entity name, its status, the formation date and the registered agent. Whether it names the owners depends on the state and the entity type. A few examples of the range: - **New York** publishes its active corporations as open data, including a "CEO Name" field for corporations \[1\]. - **Colorado's** business entity dataset lists the principal address and the registered agent, not the owners \[2\]. - **Texas** charges $1 per search on SOSDirect, its online lookup \[3\]. Two things trip people up. First, the registered agent is often a commercial agent service, an accountant or a lawyer. If dozens of companies share the agent's address, it isn't the owner. Second, a business's trading name ("Ramirez Heating & Air") may differ from its legal name ("RHA Services LLC"), so search both. The legal name is often in the website's terms or privacy policy. For LLCs specifically, what's public varies a lot from state to state. Our guide on [how to find who owns an LLC, by state](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-llc-owner-by-state) lists the official search and what each state shows for 15 states. ### Is there a federal list of business owners?[#](#is-there-a-federal-list-of-business-owners) No public one. FinCEN collected beneficial ownership information under the Corporate Transparency Act, but that register was never public. FinCEN's final rule, effective August 14, 2026, exempts US companies from reporting, and FinCEN said it would delete beneficial ownership information already reported about US persons \[4\]\[5\]. ## How do I find the owner behind a DBA or trade name?[#](#how-do-i-find-the-owner-behind-a-dba-or-trade-name) Search the "doing business as" records. When someone trades under a name that isn't their own legal name, most states require a DBA filing, also called an assumed name or fictitious business name, and it names the owner. - **California:** fictitious business name statements are filed with the county. In Los Angeles County, the statement must list every owner, and publication in a local newspaper must begin within 30 days of filing \[6\]. The county has an online search \[7\]. - **Texas:** a sole proprietor "must file an assumed name certificate with the county clerk in each county in which business premises are maintained." Corporations and LLCs file theirs with the Secretary of State \[8\]. DBA records are the best source for sole proprietors, who don't appear in the state's entity database at all. ## Can a professional license lookup tell me who owns a business?[#](#can-a-professional-license-lookup-tell-me-who-owns-a-business) Often, for licensed trades. Contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, cosmetologists, real estate agents and many health professions are licensed by the state, and the board's lookup names the license holder. - **California's** Contractors State License Board lets you search by license number, business name or personnel name \[9\]. - **Texas's** Department of Licensing and Regulation lets you search by person or business name \[10\]. In a one-truck business, the license holder is the owner. In a bigger company, the name may be a "qualifier" or "responsible managing employee" who holds the license for the business. Use it to confirm a name, not as the only source. ## Do property records show the owner of a business?[#](#do-property-records-show-the-owner-of-a-business) They show the owner of the property, which is a different question. County assessor and recorder records are public, and they name the owner of each parcel with a mailing address. Maricopa County's assessor, for example, lets you search by owner name or address and shows the owner and mailing address on the parcel \[11\]. This helps in two cases: 1. **The business owns its building.** Many auto shops, contractors' yards and family restaurants do. The parcel owner is often an LLC, which you then look up with the state. 2. **You sell to landlords.** For commercial real estate, cleaning or property services, the landlord is the customer. For a business that rents, property records name the landlord. Don't confuse the two. ## What about BBB, LinkedIn and local news?[#](#what-about-bbb-linkedin-and-local-news) These name people with titles, and they're good second sources. - **BBB.** Many profiles show a "Business Management" section and "Principal Contacts" with names and titles like Owner or Member. BBB's own disclaimer says it "does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties" \[12\]. - **LinkedIn.** Search the business name plus "owner" or "founder" and check the profile's current employer. Read profiles by hand: LinkedIn's terms prohibit scraping its services \[13\]. - **Local news and chambers.** Openings, ribbon cuttings, awards and "40 under 40" lists name owners with context. Search `"business name" owner` or `"business name" opened`. - **Facebook Pages.** The About section sometimes names the owner. For some Pages, Meta's Page Transparency section shows the organization that manages it \[14\]. ## Should I just call and ask?[#](#should-i-just-call-and-ask) Yes, when the records don't settle it. A short, honest call works: "Hi, I'm trying to reach whoever handles your marketing. Who would that be?" The person who answers usually tells you, and often gives you the best way to reach them. Calling also confirms the name you found is current. If the About page says Mike and the person on the phone says "Mike sold the shop last year", you've saved yourself a wasted email. ## A worked example[#](#a-worked-example) Here's the process on a made-up business, Bright Smile Dental in Tempe, Arizona: 1. **Website.** The About page says "Dr. Priya Shah opened Bright Smile in 2018." That's a candidate. 2. **License lookup.** The state dental board lists Priya Shah, DDS, as a licensed dentist. The name is real, but that doesn't prove ownership. 3. **State filing.** The privacy policy names "Bright Smile Dental PLLC". The state record shows a registered agent service and lists Priya Shah as a member. 4. **Two sources agree** (website and state filing). Use the name. If step 3 had shown only an agent, a BBB profile or a local news story about the opening would be the next place to look. ## Is it ethical to look up who owns a business?[#](#is-it-ethical-to-look-up-who-owns-a-business) Yes, when you use it for a relevant business reason and stay on the business side of the line. These records are public so that people can know who they're dealing with. Keep to a few rules: - **Use business contact details.** A registered agent's office, a home address from a filing or a personal Facebook profile is not an invitation to market to someone. Contact them through the business. - **Don't misrepresent yourself** on the phone or in email to get a name. - **Stop when asked.** Keep a do-not-contact list and honor it. - **Know the rules for the channel.** In the US, CAN-SPAM covers commercial email, including business-to-business email, and requires an opt-out and your postal address \[15\]. Calls and texts have separate rules. Outside the US, a named owner is personal data under laws like UK GDPR. Our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) covers the main ones. This isn't legal advice. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How can I find out who owns a business for free?[#](#how-can-i-find-out-who-owns-a-business-for-free) Start with the business's own website (About, Team, footer), then search your state's business entity database, the county DBA or assumed-name records, and any professional license lookup for the trade. BBB profiles, LinkedIn and local news often name the owner too. All of these are free or nearly free. Confirm the name in two independent sources. ### Does the Secretary of State show who owns an LLC?[#](#does-the-secretary-of-state-show-who-owns-an-llc) It depends on the state. Some states list managers or members in annual reports or statements of information; many show only a registered agent and an organizer, who may be a filing service or a lawyer. Our [state-by-state guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-llc-owner-by-state) lists what each state shows. ### Is there a federal database of business owners?[#](#is-there-a-federal-database-of-business-owners) No public one. The beneficial ownership register FinCEN set up under the Corporate Transparency Act was never public, and FinCEN's final rule, effective August 14, 2026, exempts US companies from reporting. FinCEN said it would delete beneficial ownership information already reported about US persons. ### Do property records show who owns a business?[#](#do-property-records-show-who-owns-a-business) They show who owns the building, which is not always the business. County assessor records name the property owner and a mailing address. A restaurant that rents its space won't appear; its landlord will. When the owner-occupier is the business, the record is often an LLC, which you then look up with the state. ### How do I find the owner of a sole proprietorship?[#](#how-do-i-find-the-owner-of-a-sole-proprietorship) Look for a DBA (assumed name or fictitious business name) filing. In many states sole proprietors file these with the county, and the filing names the owner. In Texas, a sole proprietor files an assumed name certificate with the county clerk in each county where it has business premises. ### Is it legal to look up who owns a business?[#](#is-it-legal-to-look-up-who-owns-a-business) Yes. Business filings, DBA records, license lookups and property records are public records. What you do next is what's regulated: emailing, calling and texting each have their own rules. Use business contact details, not home addresses or personal accounts, and get legal advice if you're unsure. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To find vending machine locations, pick an area you can service on one route, list every business of the types where people wait or work long shifts (auto shops, laundromats, gyms, hotels, apartment complexes, warehouses, clinics), rank them by hours, review count and distance from the nearest store, then visit the managers with a sample agreement. Google Maps has all of those businesses with their phone numbers and hours, so the list is the easy part. Winning the spot comes down to a short, specific pitch to the person who controls the space. ## What types of businesses are good vending machine locations?[#](#what-types-of-businesses-are-good-vending-machine-locations) The best locations combine three things: lots of people, time to spend, and no easy alternative nearby. A busy office next door to a convenience store is a worse spot than a quieter warehouse with a night shift and nothing open for two miles. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Business type | Why it works | Maps search terms | What to ask the manager | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Auto repair shops, dealership service lounges | Customers wait an hour or more | "auto repair", "car dealer", "tire shop", "oil change" | How many cars a day? Do people wait on site? | | Laundromats | Customers wait through wash and dry cycles | "laundromat", "coin laundry" | Busiest days? Any snacks sold now? | | Gyms and fitness studios | Drinks and protein snacks; long opening hours | "gym", "fitness center", "24 hour gym" | Members per day? Existing drink contract? | | Hotels and motels | Guests after hours, no restaurant on site | "hotel", "motel", "extended stay hotel" | Rooms? Is there a market or front desk shop? | | Apartment complexes | Residents nearby around the clock | "apartment complex", "property management" | Units? Clubhouse or laundry room space? | | Warehouses, manufacturing, distribution | Shift workers, short breaks, often remote | "warehouse", "distribution center", "manufacturer" | Headcount per shift? Breakroom? | | Medical waiting rooms | People wait, often with family | "urgent care", "hospital", "dialysis center" | Daily patients? Rules on food in the waiting area? | | Barber shops, car washes, small offices | Lower volume; good for a single small machine | "barber shop", "car wash", "office park" | Space and power near the waiting area? | The 365 Retail Markets guide makes the same split: high-traffic sites like hospitals, gyms and malls; waiting-room businesses like doctor's offices and auto repair shops; breakrooms in factories and warehouses; and smaller sites like laundromats and barber shops. Schools and government buildings can work but come with their own access, security and nutrition rules. ## How do I judge foot traffic from Google Maps data?[#](#how-do-i-judge-foot-traffic-from-google-maps-data) You can't see foot traffic directly in a lead list, but three columns are good proxies: review count, opening hours and category. Use them to decide who to visit first, then confirm with the manager. 1. **Review count.** More reviews usually means more customers through the door. Compare within a category: a laundromat with 300 reviews sees more people than one with 12. 2. **Hours.** Long hours, early opening and weekend hours mean more selling time. "Open 24 hours" is the strongest signal, especially for gyms, hotels and some warehouses. 3. **Category.** Waiting-room categories (auto repair, laundromat, urgent care) beat walk-in, walk-out categories (dry cleaner, bank) at the same review count. 4. **Competition nearby.** Open the map around each candidate. A convenience store or vending bank 100 feet away halves your argument. Your own route is part of this: being 20 minutes from your next stop costs you on every restock. 5. **The Popular times chart.** Google Maps shows it on many listings in the app. It isn't part of a typical export, so check it on your shortlist by hand. Then ask on the visit. A manager can tell you headcount per shift or cars per day in one sentence, and that number is what you price the deal on. ## How do I build a list of vending locations in my area?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-vending-locations-in-my-area) Build one list for the whole route, not one search at a time. A radius you can drive in a morning is the right unit. 1. **Draw your route area.** Pick a center point (your storage unit or home) and a radius you can restock from in one trip, often 5 to 15 miles. 2. **Search each business type** from the table above inside that area. Use several terms per type: "auto repair", "auto body shop", "tire shop" and "oil change" are different categories on Maps. 3. **Split big searches.** One Google Maps search shows only around 120 results, so a dense area needs several searches by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Merge into one spreadsheet** with business, category, address, phone, hours, rating and reviews. Remove duplicates by address. 5. **Score each row.** A simple score: 2 points for waiting-room categories, 2 for 24-hour or 14+ hours a day, 1 for reviews above the category median, minus 2 if a store is within a short walk. 6. **Plan visits by cluster.** Sort the top-scored rows by ZIP code and visit five or six on one trip. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## Worked example: one route, one morning[#](#worked-example-one-route-one-morning) Assumptions, for illustration only, not measured: a 10-mile radius in a mid-sized US metro. You search eight business types and get these counts after removing duplicates. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Business type | Found (assumed) | Pass the score (assumed) | | --- | --- | --- | | Auto repair and tire shops | 140 | 35 | | Laundromats | 30 | 12 | | Gyms | 45 | 10 | | Hotels and motels | 25 | 8 | | Apartment complexes | 90 | 15 | | Warehouses and manufacturers | 60 | 20 | | Total | 390 | 100 | If you can visit 6 locations in a morning and do two mornings a week, 100 shortlisted sites take about 8 weeks to cover (100 ÷ 12 ≈ 8.3). If one visit in ten ends in a placement, that's about 10 machines placed from one list. The one-in-ten rate is an assumption. Track your own: visits, managers reached, agreements signed, and which business types convert. ## Who do I pitch, and what do I say?[#](#who-do-i-pitch-and-what-do-i-say) Pitch the person who controls the space: the owner at a small shop, the general manager at a hotel or gym, the property manager at an apartment complex, and the plant or office manager at a warehouse. A front-desk employee can't say yes, but they can tell you who can and when they're in. The 365 Retail Markets guide recommends going in person, bringing a business card, product and machine brochures, pricing and a sample agreement, and asking whether they're happy with their current provider. Measure the space and check for power before you promise a machine. ### Call script: find the decision maker[#](#call-script-find-the-decision-maker) ``` "Hi, is this {{business}}? My name is [Name], I run a local vending company in {{city}}. Quick question: who decides on things like a snack or drink machine for your waiting area? ... Great, when is she usually in? I'd like to drop by for five minutes with a sample agreement." ``` ### In-person pitch[#](#in-person-pitch) ``` "I put snack and drink machines in places where people wait. I stock it, clean it and fix it; you don't handle anything. Your customers get something while they wait, and you get [a share of sales / a monthly fee / a free service]. If it isn't working for you, either of us can end it with 30 days' notice. Can I show you where I'd put it?" ``` Fill in the brackets with the structure you actually offer, and keep the notice period in the script the same as the one in your agreement. ## How are vending placement deals usually structured?[#](#how-are-vending-placement-deals-usually-structured) Deals are negotiated location by location, and the three common structures are a commission on sales, a flat monthly fee, or free placement. Smaller sites often take free placement for the convenience; busy sites and institutions often ask for a share. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Structure | How it works | Watch out for | | --- | --- | --- | | Commission | Location gets a percentage of sales | Define whether it's on gross or net sales, and how often you pay | | Flat fee | Location gets a fixed amount each month | You carry the risk if sales are slow | | Free placement | No payment; the location gets the service | Easiest yes, but easy for a competitor to outbid later | We haven't found a reliable, authoritative source for typical commission rates, so we don't quote one. The best local benchmark is public: colleges, school districts and cities often put vending out to bid, and their solicitations state what they require. Search your state or city procurement portal for "vending services" and read two or three. Put the deal in writing. A short agreement covers placement, power, the fee or commission and how it's calculated, the term, termination notice, access for restocking and removal of the machine at the end. If you grow past 20 machines, the FDA's vending machine labeling rule applies: operators of 20 or more machines must disclose calories for the food they sell, with some exemptions. ## What rules apply when you contact these businesses?[#](#what-rules-apply-when-you-contact-these-businesses) Calls to business lines for a business service are mostly exempt from the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule and the National Do Not Call Registry, but not from its ban on misrepresentations, and autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent under the TCPA. We cover this in [how to find businesses to cold call](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-businesses-to-cold-call). If you email, follow CAN-SPAM. Google's Maps Platform terms also restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, which is a contract issue separate from these laws; get legal advice for your situation. If you'd rather not search one category at a time, Leadraft finds every business of the types you choose inside the radius you draw, with phone, hours and review columns, and you can see a free masked preview before you pay. Try it on your route on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing), or look at sample exports for [gyms](https://leadraft.co/leads/gyms), [auto repair shops](https://leadraft.co/leads/auto-repair-shops), [hotels](https://leadraft.co/leads/hotels) and [property management companies](https://leadraft.co/leads/property-management-companies). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What are the best places to put a vending machine?[#](#what-are-the-best-places-to-put-a-vending-machine) Places where people wait, work long shifts or stay a while, and where buying something nearby is inconvenient: auto repair shops and dealership service lounges, laundromats, gyms, hotels, apartment complexes, warehouses, manufacturing sites and medical waiting rooms. Ask the manager how many people are on site each day before you commit a machine. ### How do I find vending machine locations near me?[#](#how-do-i-find-vending-machine-locations-near-me) Draw a radius you can service on one route, search Google Maps for each good business type inside it, and put the results in one spreadsheet with phone, hours and review counts. Then visit or call the managers, starting with long-hours, high-review sites that have no store close by. ### How much commission do vending locations get?[#](#how-much-commission-do-vending-locations-get) It's negotiated. Common structures are a percentage of sales, a flat monthly fee, or free placement where the location gets the convenience and no payment. Busy sites and institutions that put vending out to bid tend to ask for more. Read a few public vending bids from local colleges or cities to see what they require. ### Do I need a contract for a vending machine location?[#](#do-i-need-a-contract-for-a-vending-machine-location) You should have one. A short placement agreement covers where the machine goes, who pays for power, the commission or fee and how it's calculated, the term, how either side can end it, and what happens to the machine at the end. Have a lawyer review your template once. ### Should I cold call or visit vending locations?[#](#should-i-cold-call-or-visit-vending-locations) Visit when you can. Vending is a small, physical decision, and managers respond to someone who has measured the space and brought a sample agreement. Call first to learn who decides and when they're in, then go in person. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1. 365 Retail Markets, [How to find vending locations](https://365retailmarkets.com/blog/how-find-vending-locations) (location types, in-person pitch, what to bring). 2.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get bookkeeping clients: who to target, when to reach out, what to say Get bookkeeping clients: target local businesses by category and size signals, time outreach to the 2027 tax deadlines, build referral partners, use scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To get bookkeeping clients, pick one or two types of local business you understand (contractors, restaurants, salons, dental practices), list every one in your area, rank them by size signals such as review count and years in business, and contact owners shortly before a tax deadline with one fixed-price offer. Add a referral channel with local CPAs and tax preparers, who see bookkeeping problems every spring. A niche makes every message more specific, and deadlines give owners a reason to answer now instead of "after tax season". ## Which businesses should a bookkeeper target?[#](#which-businesses-should-a-bookkeeper-target) Target established small businesses with steady transactions and no finance staff. They have enough activity to need monthly books but not enough to hire an accountant, and many are still doing it themselves at night. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Business type | Why they need a bookkeeper | Pitch angle | Industry page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Contractors and trades | Job costing, subcontractors, 1099s, materials | "Know which jobs actually make money" | [General contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/general-contractors), [plumbers](https://leadraft.co/leads/plumbers), [HVAC](https://leadraft.co/leads/hvac-contractors) | | Restaurants and bars | Daily sales, food cost, tips, payroll, sales tax | "Food and labor cost every month, not every April" | [Restaurants](https://leadraft.co/leads/restaurants), [bars](https://leadraft.co/leads/bars) | | Salons and spas | Booth rent vs employees, product sales, tips | "Clean books with chair rental done right" | [Hair salons](https://leadraft.co/leads/hair-salons), [med spas](https://leadraft.co/leads/med-spas) | | Dental and medical practices | Insurance receipts, payroll, equipment | "Monthly close your CPA will thank you for" | [Dentists](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists), [chiropractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/chiropractors) | | Property managers | Owner statements, trust accounts, many properties | "Owner statements on time, every month" | [Property managers](https://leadraft.co/leads/property-management-companies) | | Retail and cafes | Inventory, sales tax, card processing | "Know your margin by product line" | [Coffee shops](https://leadraft.co/leads/coffee-shops) | Choose one niche to start. "I do bookkeeping for HVAC companies" gets a reply that "I do bookkeeping for small businesses" doesn't, and you'll learn the industry's chart of accounts and software faster. ## How do I find small businesses that need bookkeeping?[#](#how-do-i-find-small-businesses-that-need-bookkeeping) List every business in your niche and area from Google Maps, then use public signals as a proxy for size, because Maps doesn't show revenue or headcount. 1. **Pick the niche and the area.** Your city and the next two or three over. Local clients are easier to meet and more likely to refer. 2. **Search every term for the niche.** "General contractor", "remodeler", "home builder" and "kitchen remodeler" are different Google Maps categories. 3. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search shows about 120 results, so split a metro by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Export** business, category, phone, website, email, hours, rating, reviews and address. 5. **Use size proxies.** Rank by review count (more customers), hours (open six days a week), several locations, and a working website. A contractor with 150 reviews has crews and subcontractors; one with 4 reviews may be a one-person side business. 6. **Check the website** for the shortlist: "now hiring", several service areas or a team page all suggest a business that has outgrown DIY books. 7. **Write one specific line** for each, such as their trade, area or number of locations. ## When should I reach out? The 2027 tax calendar[#](#when-should-i-reach-out-the-2027-tax-calendar) Reach out four to eight weeks before a deadline, when the owner is starting to worry, and again right after a deadline, when the pain is fresh. These are the federal dates for calendar-year filers in the 2027 filing season (tax year 2026). We applied the IRS rule that a deadline on a weekend or legal holiday moves to the next business day; confirm against the IRS's Publication 509 for 2027 when it's published. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Date (2027) | Deadline | Who it hits | Your angle | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Friday, January 15 | Fourth-quarter 2026 estimated tax | Owners of pass-through businesses, sole proprietors | "Do you know what you owe?" | | Monday, February 1 | Forms W-2 (to employees and the Social Security Administration) and 1099-NEC (to contractors and the IRS); January 31 is a Sunday | Anyone with employees or contractors | "Do you have a W-9 from every subcontractor?" | | Monday, March 15 | Partnership (Form 1065) and S corporation (Form 1120-S) returns | Multi-owner LLCs, S corps | "Is your CPA waiting on your books?" | | Thursday, April 15 | Individual (Form 1040) and C corporation (Form 1120) returns; Q1 2027 estimate | Everyone | Post-deadline: "Never again like this year" | | Tuesday, June 15 | Q2 estimated tax | Owners paying estimates | Mid-year check-in offer | | Wednesday, September 15 | Q3 estimated tax; extended 1065 and 1120-S | Extended filers | "Get ahead before the extension runs out" | | Friday, October 15 | Extended Form 1040 | Extended individuals | Cleanup offer for next year | A change worth mentioning to contractors: for payments made in 2026, the Form 1099-NEC reporting threshold for nonemployee compensation rose to $2,000, according to the IRS's December 2026 instructions. It's a timely, useful thing to tell a contractor in November or December, and it shows you know the rules. State deadlines and sales tax dates vary; add the ones for your state. ## Who are the best referral partners for bookkeepers?[#](#who-are-the-best-referral-partners-for-bookkeepers) CPAs and tax preparers are the best referral partners, because they see disorganized books every spring and many don't want monthly bookkeeping work. Treat them as a separate campaign. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Partner | Why they refer | How to approach | | --- | --- | --- | | CPAs and tax preparers | Clean books make returns faster | "I do monthly books for \[niche\]. I'll send you the tax work." | | Business bankers | Loan applications need financial statements | Offer to help their small-business clients prepare them | | Attorneys who form LLCs | New owners ask "what next?" | A one-page "first 90 days of books" guide to hand out | | Commercial insurance agents | Payroll and revenue drive premiums | Swap referrals | | Payroll providers | Their clients need books too | Partner listing or referral agreement | | Small Business Development Centers | Free advising for local owners | Offer a workshop on basic bookkeeping | Find CPA and tax-prep firms the same way you find clients: search "accountant", "CPA" and "tax preparation service" in your area. See [accountant leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/accountants) for what the list looks like. Ask the smaller firms first; large firms usually have their own bookkeeping staff. ## Worked example: one niche, one season[#](#worked-example-one-niche-one-season) Assumptions, for illustration only, not measured: you target HVAC and plumbing contractors in one metro starting in mid-November. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule (assumed) | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Contractors in the area | from the export | 700 | | 25+ reviews (size proxy) | 45% | 315 | | With a checked email | 55% of 315 | about 173 | | Reply with interest | 4% of 173 | about 7 | | Discovery calls held | 70% of replies | about 5 | | New monthly clients | 40% of calls | 2 | At an assumed $450 a month per client, two clients add $900 a month, or $10,800 a year. Add a one-time cleanup fee if their books are behind. The 142 shortlisted contractors without a checked email (315 minus 173) get a call or a postcard. Track every rate by niche; your real numbers replace these after the first season. ## What should my outreach say?[#](#what-should-my-outreach-say) Name the niche, mention the deadline and make one fixed-price offer. Owners worry about cost surprises, so say the price structure early. ### Email: contractors before 1099 season[#](#email-contractors-before-1099-season) ``` Subject: 1099s for {{business}} Hi there, 1099-NEC forms for 2026 are due February 1. For contractors that usually means chasing W-9s from every sub in January, and the reporting threshold changed to $2,000 for 2026 payments. I do monthly bookkeeping for {{category}} businesses in {{city}}: job costing, sub payments tracked, 1099s ready in January. Fixed monthly price, and I work with your CPA. Worth a 15-minute call before the holidays? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email: right after April 15[#](#email-right-after-april-15) ``` Subject: next tax season at {{business}} Hi there, If this tax season was a scramble, it doesn't have to be next year. I keep monthly books for {{category}} businesses around {{city}}, so your CPA gets clean numbers in January and you see your profit every month. I can start with a one-time catch-up and then a fixed monthly fee. Open to a quick call? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ### Email: CPA referral partner[#](#email-cpa-referral-partner) ``` Subject: bookkeeping referrals in {{city}} Hi there, I do monthly bookkeeping for contractors and restaurants in {{city}}, and I send the tax work to CPAs. If you have clients whose books slow you down every spring, I'd be glad to take them on and send you anyone who needs a CPA. Could I buy you a coffee in May, after the rush? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` Time the CPA email for after April 15 or October 15. Nobody at a tax firm answers cold email in March. ## What rules apply to cold outreach for bookkeeping?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-for-bookkeeping) In the US, commercial email to businesses falls under CAN-SPAM: honest headers and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Canada and the UK are stricter. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content; that's a contract issue separate from email law. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. If you'd rather not build the list by hand, Leadraft finds every business in your niche inside the area you choose and checks the emails it finds against the live mail server, so fewer of your messages bounce. Try it on your own city on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get my first bookkeeping client?[#](#how-do-i-get-my-first-bookkeeping-client) Choose one type of business you understand, such as contractors or restaurants, list every one in your area, and contact the owners with one specific offer: a monthly close at a fixed price, or a one-time cleanup before tax season. At the same time, ask two or three local CPAs and tax preparers whether they refer out bookkeeping. Referrals and a narrow niche get first clients faster than general marketing. ### What kinds of businesses need a bookkeeper most?[#](#what-kinds-of-businesses-need-a-bookkeeper-most) Established small businesses with steady transactions and no finance staff: contractors and trades that pay subcontractors, restaurants and bars, salons and spas, dental and medical practices, property managers and retailers. Businesses with a few employees and several years of reviews are usually past the shoebox stage but too small for an in-house accountant. ### When is the best time to find bookkeeping clients?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-find-bookkeeping-clients) Before deadlines. In the 2027 filing season, Forms W-2 and 1099-NEC are due February 1, 2027 (January 31 is a Sunday), partnership and S corporation returns March 15, and individual and C corporation returns April 15. Outreach in November through January catches owners worried about 1099s and year-end; outreach right after April 15 catches owners who just had a painful tax season. ### Who refers bookkeeping clients?[#](#who-refers-bookkeeping-clients) CPAs and tax preparers who don't want monthly bookkeeping, business bankers, attorneys who form LLCs, commercial insurance agents, payroll providers and local Small Business Development Centers. Offer to send them clients you can't serve, and make it easy to refer you with a one-page description of who you work with. ### Can I cold email small businesses offering bookkeeping?[#](#can-i-cold-email-small-businesses-offering-bookkeeping) In the US, yes, if you follow CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, your postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Canada and the UK are stricter. Keep messages specific to the business and get legal advice for your situation. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get clients for an AI automation agency: verticals, signals and offers Get AI automation agency clients: pick verticals with repetitive admin (dental, law, home services, real estate), spot signals in Maps data and pitch a pilot. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To get clients for an AI automation agency, pick one vertical where small teams repeat the same admin all day (dental practices, law firms, home service contractors, real estate agents), list every business of that type in a few areas, look for public signs of the problem you solve (no online booking, short hours, slow-reply complaints in reviews), and offer one fixed-price workflow as a pilot. Generic "AI for your business" pitches get ignored. A dentist will listen to "patients who call after 5 p.m. get a text with your booking link" because it's specific and they can picture the result. ## Which verticals are best for an AI automation agency?[#](#which-verticals-are-best-for-an-ai-automation-agency) The best verticals have high volumes of small, repetitive tasks, a front desk that's stretched, and revenue that depends on responding quickly. They're also easy to find, because every one of them is listed on Google Maps. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Vertical | Repetitive admin you can automate | Who decides | Industry page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dental practices | Appointment reminders, recall for cleanings, intake forms, insurance info collection, review requests | Owner dentist, practice manager | [Dentists](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists) | | Law firms | Intake questionnaires, consultation booking, follow-up on unsigned leads, document assembly | Managing partner, office manager | [Law firms](https://leadraft.co/leads/law-firms) | | Home services | Missed-call follow-up, quote follow-up, scheduling, job reminders, review requests | Owner, office manager | [HVAC](https://leadraft.co/leads/hvac-contractors), [plumbers](https://leadraft.co/leads/plumbers), [roofers](https://leadraft.co/leads/roofers) | | Real estate agents | Lead follow-up from portals, showing scheduling, listing descriptions, transaction checklists | Agent, team lead, broker | [Real estate agents](https://leadraft.co/leads/real-estate-agents) | | Property managers | Maintenance requests, tenant FAQs, showing scheduling | Property manager | [Property managers](https://leadraft.co/leads/property-management-companies) | | Med spas, salons | Booking, reminders, rebooking, no-show follow-up | Owner, manager | [Med spas](https://leadraft.co/leads/med-spas) | Pick one to start. Your case study from the first dentist sells the second dentist; it does little for a roofer. ## What signals in Google Maps data show a business needs automation?[#](#what-signals-in-google-maps-data-show-a-business-needs-automation) You can't see a business's back office from outside, but the listing and website give useful hints. Use them to rank who to contact first and to make your first line specific. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Signal | Where to see it | What it suggests | Opener | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Short or weekday-only hours | `hours` on the listing | Calls and forms after hours go unanswered | "Patients who call after 5 get voicemail." | | No online booking | Website has no booking link | Every appointment is a phone call | "Every booking is a phone call right now." | | No contact form | Website has no form | Leads must call or email | "There's no way to request a quote on your site." | | High review count | `reviews` on the listing | Volume: more calls, more admin | "With 300+ reviews you must be fielding a lot of calls." | | Reviews about slow replies | Read recent reviews by hand | Missed calls and follow-ups | "A few reviews mention trouble getting a callback." | | Simple website platform | Wix, Squarespace, WordPress | Easy to embed a widget or form | Technical detail for your proposal | The review text is something you read yourself on the shortlist. It's the strongest signal and gives you an opener the owner can't argue with, but quote it accurately and don't overstate it. ## How do I build the prospect list?[#](#how-do-i-build-the-prospect-list) Build one list per vertical and area, rank it by signals, and contact the top of it first. 1. **Pick the vertical and three to five areas.** Nearby cities let you meet in person and say "I work with practices in \[area\]". 2. **Search every term for the vertical.** "Dentist", "dental clinic", "cosmetic dentist" and "pediatric dentist" return different businesses on Google Maps. 3. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search shows only about 120 results; split big cities by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Export** business, phone, website, email, hours, rating, reviews and website platform. 5. **Score the signals.** One point each for short hours, no booking link, no contact form, and reviews above the area's median. 6. **Read reviews and the website** for the top 50, and write one specific line for each. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I offer? Package one workflow as a pilot[#](#what-should-i-offer-package-one-workflow-as-a-pilot) Offer one workflow, a fixed price, a short timeline and a clear measure of success. Owners of small businesses buy outcomes they can check, not "AI". Scroll horizontally if needed → | Pilot | What it does | How you measure it | | --- | --- | --- | | Missed-call follow-up | Sends a booking link or callback request when a call goes unanswered | Callbacks booked from missed calls | | After-hours intake | A form or chat on the website collects the request and books or routes it | Requests captured outside business hours | | Quote follow-up | Reminds leads who got a quote and didn't reply, on a schedule | Quotes accepted after follow-up | | Appointment reminders and recall | Reminds patients or clients and invites them to rebook | No-show rate, recall bookings | | Review requests | Sends every customer the review link after a job | New reviews per month | Keep the claims honest. The FTC brought several cases in 2024 under "Operation AI Comply" against companies that made deceptive claims about AI, and the same rules apply to you: don't promise savings or results you can't back up. For review requests, follow Google's rules: ask every customer, never offer incentives and never filter for happy ones. See [find businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews). ### Know the vertical's rules before you build[#](#know-the-verticals-rules-before-you-build) - **Dental and medical.** If your workflow handles protected health information for a practice, you are likely a HIPAA business associate and need a business associate agreement, and so does any AI service you send that data to. - **Law firms.** The American Bar Association's Formal Opinion 512 (July 2024) sets out lawyers' duties when they use generative AI, including competence, confidentiality and communication with clients. Expect firms to ask where client data goes. - **Outbound AI calls.** The FCC ruled in 2024 that AI-generated voices are "artificial" voices under the TCPA. Outbound AI calls to cell phones need prior express consent. Inbound answering is a much simpler sell. ## Worked example: pricing a missed-call pilot[#](#worked-example-pricing-a-missed-call-pilot) Assumptions, for illustration only. Agree the real numbers with the owner. An HVAC contractor misses 20 calls a week. Half are new customers. Today 30% of those call back; with an instant text and booking link, you estimate 50% respond. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Line | Value | | --- | --- | | Missed new-customer calls per week | 20 × 50% = 10 | | Recovered today | 10 × 30% = 3 | | Recovered with follow-up (estimate) | 10 × 50% = 5 | | Extra customers per week | 2 | | Owner's average job value (assumed) | $400 | | Extra revenue per month (about 4.3 weeks) | 2 × $400 × 4.3 = $3,440 | If the estimate holds even at a quarter of that, a setup fee plus a modest monthly fee is easy to justify. Measure the actual recovered calls during the pilot and use those numbers, not your estimate, for the renewal conversation. ## What should my outreach say?[#](#what-should-my-outreach-say) Name the vertical, the specific signal and one workflow. Short beats clever. ### Email: dental practice, short hours[#](#email-dental-practice-short-hours) ``` Subject: after-hours calls at {{business}} Hi there, I noticed {{business}} closes at {{closing time}} on weekdays. Patients who call after that usually hit voicemail, and many don't call back. I set up a simple fix for dental practices: anyone who calls when you're closed gets a text with your booking link. Fixed price, live in two weeks, and I'll show you how many bookings it brings in during the first month. Worth a 15-minute call? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` Before you sell anything that texts patients, check the consent and HIPAA questions above with the practice and a lawyer. ### Email: home services, no quote form[#](#email-home-services-no-quote-form) ``` Subject: quote requests for {{business}} Hi there, I was looking at {{category}} companies in {{city}}. {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews, but no way to request a quote on the website, so every lead has to call during business hours. I build a quote-request form that books the visit or sends it to your phone, plus automatic follow-up on quotes that go quiet. One fixed price for setup. Open to a quick look? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## What rules apply to cold outreach for an AI agency?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-for-an-ai-agency) Cold email to US businesses falls under CAN-SPAM: honest headers and subject lines, a physical postal address and an opt-out honored within 10 business days. Canada and the UK are stricter. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, which is a contract issue separate from email law. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and [how to find businesses to cold call](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-businesses-to-cold-call), and get legal advice for your situation. If you'd rather not build vertical lists by hand, Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside the area you choose, with hours, website platform, contact-form and review columns, and checks the emails it finds against the live mail server. Try it on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing), read how it works for [agencies](https://leadraft.co/solutions/agencies), or connect it to your own stack with the API. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get my first client for an AI automation agency?[#](#how-do-i-get-my-first-client-for-an-ai-automation-agency) Pick one vertical with repetitive admin, such as dental practices or home service contractors, build a list of every one in a few nearby areas, and offer a small fixed-price pilot that automates one task they already do by hand, like missed-call follow-up or appointment reminders. Specific, local and cheap to try beats a broad "we automate anything" pitch. ### Which industries need AI automation the most?[#](#which-industries-need-ai-automation-the-most) Businesses with lots of inbound calls, forms, scheduling and follow-up but small teams: dental and medical practices, law firms, home services (HVAC, plumbing, roofing), real estate agents, property managers and med spas. The common thread is a front desk doing the same tasks dozens of times a day. ### What should an AI automation agency charge?[#](#what-should-an-ai-automation-agency-charge) Many agencies sell a fixed-price setup for one workflow plus a monthly fee for hosting, monitoring and changes. Price against the value of the time or revenue the automation saves, which you can estimate with the owner using their own numbers, and keep the first project small enough to say yes to without a long approval. ### Do I need a business associate agreement to automate a dental practice?[#](#do-i-need-a-business-associate-agreement-to-automate-a-dental-practice) If your automation creates, receives, keeps or sends patients' protected health information for the practice, you are likely a business associate under HIPAA and the practice needs a business associate agreement with you. The same applies to any AI vendor you route that data through. Get legal advice before you touch patient data. ### Can I sell AI phone agents that make outbound calls?[#](#can-i-sell-ai-phone-agents-that-make-outbound-calls) Carefully. The FCC ruled in 2024 that AI-generated voices are artificial voices under the TCPA, so outbound AI-voice calls to cell phones need prior express consent, and telemarketing ones need written consent. Inbound AI answering for calls the business receives is a different, lower-risk use. Check the rules before you sell outbound calling. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get clients for a staffing agency: find the local employers that hire most Which local employers hire the most (BLS and ASA data), how to list every warehouse, clinic and restaurant in your area, and how to reach hiring managers. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook To get clients for a staffing agency, pick one sector you can fill well, list every employer in that sector within commuting distance of your candidates, and contact the manager who runs the shift with a specific offer: covering a busy season, a weekend shift, or a hard-to-fill role. Federal data tells you where to look. Accommodation and food services hires at the highest rate of any major US industry, and industrial work is the largest share of staffing jobs. Google Maps then gives you every warehouse, plant, clinic, hotel and restaurant in your area, with a phone number and website for each. ## Which local employers hire the most?[#](#which-local-employers-hire-the-most) Employers that hire constantly are the ones that need agencies. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics measures this in its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). The hires rate is the number of hires in a month as a share of employment. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Industry (BLS JOLTS) | Hires, Aug 2026 | Hires rate | | --- | --- | --- | | Accommodation and food services | 750,000 | 5.2% | | Retail trade | 667,000 | 4.3% | | Professional and business services | 935,000 | 4.2% | | Construction | 308,000 | 3.7% | | Transportation, warehousing and utilities | 247,000 | 3.4% | | Health care and social assistance | 703,000 | 2.9% | | Manufacturing | 332,000 | 2.6% | | **All private industries** | **4,846,000** | **3.6%** | Figures are seasonally adjusted and preliminary. Two notes: professional and business services includes staffing firms themselves, so part of that number is your competitors; and health care hires at a lower rate but in large numbers, with roles that are hard to fill. ## Which sectors use staffing agencies most?[#](#which-sectors-use-staffing-agencies-most) Industrial work is the largest share of staffing jobs. The American Staffing Association (ASA) reports that US staffing firms employed nearly 2.0 million temporary and contract workers in an average week of 2025 and hired 9.5 million over the year. By sector: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Staffing sector (ASA) | Share of staffing employees | Local employers to target | | --- | --- | --- | | Industrial | 36% | Warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturers, food processors | | Office–clerical and administrative | 24% | Property managers, insurance agencies, medical offices, call centers | | Professional–managerial | 21% | Accounting firms, law firms, mid-sized companies | | Engineering, IT and scientific | 11% | Engineering firms, labs, IT service companies | | Health care | 8% | Nursing homes, assisted living, home health, clinics | Put the two tables together and the local targets are clear: industrial sites for volume, hospitality for constant turnover, and healthcare for hard-to-fill roles. ## How do I find every employer in my area?[#](#how-do-i-find-every-employer-in-my-area) Search Google Maps by category, one category and one area at a time, then export. Your area is the commuting radius of your candidate pool, not the city limits. 1. **Choose the categories** for your sector. Industrial: "warehouse", "distribution service", "logistics service", "manufacturer", "metal fabricator", "food processing company". Hospitality: "hotel", "restaurant", "event venue", "caterer". Healthcare: "nursing home", "assisted living facility", "home health care service", "medical clinic". See our [Google Maps categories list](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-categories-list). 2. **Draw the area** around your office or candidate base: a radius or a polygon around the industrial parks and corridors you can staff. 3. **Search in pieces.** One search stops at about 120 results, so split by ZIP code or neighborhood ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). 4. **Export** business, category, phone, website, address, rating and reviews. 5. **Size the market** with the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns, which counts establishments by industry and employee-size class per county. It tells you how many 50+ employee warehouses your county has, so you know when your list is close to complete. It doesn't name them. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. Maps data has one gap for staffing: it doesn't show headcount. Use proxies. A distribution center on a large lot, a hotel with hundreds of reviews, or a restaurant group with several locations is bigger than its category suggests. Industrial sites often have few reviews, so don't filter them out on review count. ## How do I spot employers that are hiring right now?[#](#how-do-i-spot-employers-that-are-hiring-right-now) Check the employer's own careers page and the big job boards for your shortlist. A business with open postings for the same role month after month is a strong prospect: they're trying to fill it and failing. Signals worth a column in your sheet: - [ ] Open postings for entry-level or shift roles on their site or job boards - [ ] The same role reposted over several weeks - [ ] A "now hiring" banner on the website - [ ] A new location or expansion (new businesses in your area are a good feed, see [finding new businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area)) - [ ] Seasonal peaks: warehouses before the holidays, hotels and venues before summer and wedding season ## Who should I contact, and how?[#](#who-should-i-contact-and-how) Contact the person who feels the gap on the floor: the operations, warehouse, plant, kitchen or general manager. At larger sites, HR or procurement owns the approved-vendor list, so you may need both. Google Maps doesn't list people, so names come from the company's website, LinkedIn, or a call to the front desk. Our guide to [finding the owner or manager of a business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-the-owner-of-a-business) covers the methods. For small employers, a role inbox from their own website (`hr@`, `jobs@`, `office@`) is a good first contact. It's read every day, and the person reading it is usually the one hiring. ### Email to an operations manager[#](#email-to-an-operations-manager) ``` Subject: Weekend shift at {{business}} Hi {{first_name}}, I saw {{business}} has had a {{role}} opening posted for a few weeks. We place {{role}}s with {{category}} sites around {{city}}, and most of our people live within 20 minutes of you. If it helps, I can send two pre-screened candidates for a trial shift this week. You only pay for hours worked. Worth a quick call? [Name] · [Agency] · [Postal address] Not the right person? Reply and I'll stop writing. ``` ### Phone opener for a hotel or restaurant[#](#phone-opener-for-a-hotel-or-restaurant) ``` "Hi, could I speak to the general manager? ... My name is [Name] from [Agency]. We cover short-notice shifts for hotels in [area]: servers, housekeeping, banquet staff. When you're short for an event, who do you call today?" ``` The last question tells you whether they already use an agency and how happy they are with it. Many employers use more than one. Ask to be the backup. Cold calling has its own playbook in [how to find businesses to cold call](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-businesses-to-cold-call). ## What offer wins a first order?[#](#what-offer-wins-a-first-order) Offer something small and low-risk that proves you can fill. Employers are wary of agencies that promise and don't deliver. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Offer | Why it works | | --- | --- | | Trial shift with pre-screened candidates | They see quality before signing anything | | Event or peak-season cover | A defined, short need with a clear end | | One hard-to-fill role | Solves the posting that has been open for weeks | | Temp-to-hire | Lets them try a worker before hiring | Then fill it fast. The second order matters more than the first. ## A worked example[#](#a-worked-example) An illustration, with invented response rates: a light-industrial agency draws a 25-minute drive radius around its office. Searching seven industrial categories ZIP by ZIP gives 640 businesses. Removing offices and retail counters leaves 410 sites. A check of careers pages flags 90 with open shift roles. Emailing and calling those 90, at an assumed 10% conversation rate, gives nine conversations; if one in three places a trial order, that's three new clients from one month of work. Measure your own rates per category and keep the categories that convert. ## What rules apply to staffing outreach?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-staffing-outreach) In the US, CAN-SPAM covers commercial email to businesses: honest headers and subject lines, your postal address, and an opt-out honored within 10 business days. Under the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule, most business-to-business calls are exempt, but calls to employees to sell them something for their own use are not. Separately, some states and cities license employment agencies, with different rules for temporary and permanent placement. Check your state, read [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws), and get legal advice for your situation. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do staffing agencies get new clients?[#](#how-do-staffing-agencies-get-new-clients) Most win clients by picking a sector they can fill well (light industrial, hospitality, healthcare, office), listing every employer in that sector within driving distance of their candidates, and contacting the person who feels the hiring pain: an operations, plant, general or HR manager. Referrals and repeat orders follow from doing the first few placements well. ### Which industries use staffing agencies the most?[#](#which-industries-use-staffing-agencies-the-most) Industrial work is the largest. The American Staffing Association reports that 36% of staffing employees work in industrial jobs, 24% in office and administrative, 21% in professional and managerial, 11% in engineering, IT and science, and 8% in health care. ### Which local employers hire the most often?[#](#which-local-employers-hire-the-most-often) Accommodation and food services has the highest hiring rate of any major private industry in BLS JOLTS data: 5.2% of employment was hired in August 2026, against 3.6% for all private industries. Retail trade (4.3%) and construction (3.7%) are also above average. ### Who should a staffing agency contact at a company?[#](#who-should-a-staffing-agency-contact-at-a-company) At small and mid-sized local employers, contact the person who runs the shift: the operations, warehouse, plant, kitchen or general manager. HR often owns the vendor list at larger sites. A role inbox such as hr@ or jobs@ from the company's own website is a fine first contact at small businesses. ### Do I need a license to run a staffing agency?[#](#do-i-need-a-license-to-run-a-staffing-agency) It depends on where you operate and what you place. Some states and cities license employment agencies, and rules differ for temporary staffing, permanent placement and healthcare. Check with your state labor department and get legal advice before you start. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get commercial cleaning contracts: targets, bids and outreach Get commercial cleaning contracts: which businesses to target, how to build the list, where public bids are posted (SAM.gov, local portals) and scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook To get commercial cleaning contracts, list every business of the types you clean best inside the area your crews can reach (offices, medical and dental practices, gyms, daycares, dealerships, churches and the property managers who run many buildings), then contact the person who manages the facility with a specific offer and a free walkthrough. In parallel, register on SAM.gov and on your state and city procurement portals so you see public cleaning bids when they open. Most private contracts come from steady, local outreach; most public ones come from reading bid notices carefully. ## Which businesses hire commercial cleaners?[#](#which-businesses-hire-commercial-cleaners) Any business with a fixed location, regular visitors and nobody whose job is cleaning. The best first targets have three traits: they're open on a set schedule (so you can clean after hours), they care how the space looks to customers, and the decision maker is on site. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Target | Why they buy | Maps search terms | Decision maker | Industry page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Small and mid-size offices | No in-house janitorial staff | "law firm", "accounting firm", "insurance agency", "office" | Office manager, owner | [Law firms](https://leadraft.co/leads/law-firms), [accountants](https://leadraft.co/leads/accountants) | | Medical and dental practices | Patients judge cleanliness; infection control | "dentist", "chiropractor", "physical therapist", "urgent care" | Practice manager | [Dentists](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists), [chiropractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/chiropractors) | | Gyms and studios | Heavy daily use, locker rooms | "gym", "yoga studio", "fitness center" | General manager, owner | [Gyms](https://leadraft.co/leads/gyms) | | Daycares | Frequent cleaning, parent expectations | "daycare", "preschool", "child care center" | Director | [Daycares](https://leadraft.co/leads/daycares) | | Car dealerships | Showrooms, service lounges, large floor area | "car dealer", "auto dealership" | General manager, facilities | [Car dealerships](https://leadraft.co/leads/car-dealerships) | | Churches | Weekly events, often volunteer-cleaned | "church" | Pastor, administrator | [Churches](https://leadraft.co/leads/churches) | | Property management companies | Common areas across many buildings | "property management company" | Property manager | [Property managers](https://leadraft.co/leads/property-management-companies) | Property managers deserve their own campaign. One property manager can oversee several buildings, so a single good relationship can lead to several contracts, and they're also the people tenants ask when they need a cleaner. ## How do I build a list of commercial cleaning prospects?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-commercial-cleaning-prospects) Start from where your crews can work, not from a city name. Driving time between sites eats margin on nightly routes. 1. **Draw your service area.** A polygon or radius around where your crews already work, or a few ZIP codes you want to grow into. 2. **Search every target type** from the table inside that area. Use several terms per type: "dentist", "dental clinic" and "orthodontist" are different Google Maps categories. 3. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows only about 120 results, so a metro needs several searches by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Export to one spreadsheet** with business, category, address, phone, website, email, hours and reviews. 5. **Qualify by size proxy.** Maps doesn't list square footage or headcount, so use proxies: review count (more customers through the door), hours (long hours, more cleaning) and category (dealerships and gyms are large floor areas). 6. **Find a contact.** Office and practice managers often have an email on the practice's website; small businesses without one get a call or a visit. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## Worked example: one service area, one quarter[#](#worked-example-one-service-area-one-quarter) Assumptions, for illustration only: you clean offices and medical practices in a 12-mile radius. After deduplication you have 900 target businesses, half of them with a usable email. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule (assumed) | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Target businesses in the radius | from the export | 900 | | With a checked email | 50% | 450 | | Reply with interest | 3% of 450 | about 14 | | Walkthroughs booked | half of replies | 7 | | Contracts signed | one in three walkthroughs | about 2 | | The other 450, no email | call or walk in | tracked separately | If an average contract is worth $1,200 a month (an assumption; price from your own costs and local rates), two new contracts add $2,400 a month, or $28,800 a year if they stay 12 months. Every rate in the table is an assumption. Track your own numbers by business type and drop the types that don't convert. ## Where do I find commercial cleaning bids and RFPs?[#](#where-do-i-find-commercial-cleaning-bids-and-rfps) Public cleaning work is posted on procurement portals: SAM.gov for federal agencies, and separate portals or purchasing pages for states, counties, cities, school districts and public universities. Each one has its own vendor registration. ### Federal: SAM.gov[#](#federal-samgov) 1. **Register your entity on SAM.gov.** Registration gives you a Unique Entity ID and lets you bid on federal contracts as a prime contractor. GSA's checklist says there's no charge to get a Unique Entity ID, register, or keep the registration current. Ignore companies that offer to do it for a fee. 2. **Search Contract Opportunities** for "janitorial" or "custodial", or by NAICS code 561720 (Janitorial Services). Filter by your state and set saved searches so new notices arrive by email. 3. **Read the whole solicitation.** Look at the place of performance, the cleaning frequency, the evaluation criteria, the site-visit date and the question deadline before you price anything. 4. **Get free help.** APEX Accelerators (formerly Procurement Technical Assistance Centers) help small businesses register and prepare bids at no cost. ### State and local[#](#state-and-local) Most states run an e-procurement site, and many counties, cities and school districts post bids on their own purchasing page or a hosted bid portal. Search "\[your state\] procurement portal" and "\[your city\] bids and solicitations", register as a vendor under janitorial or custodial services, and check the notifications weekly. Public bids often require a pre-bid site visit, proof of insurance and references, so prepare those once. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Source | Typical buyers | What to watch | | --- | --- | --- | | SAM.gov | Federal offices, military sites, VA clinics | Set-asides, wage requirements, site visits | | State e-procurement | State agencies, some universities | Vendor registration, statewide contracts | | City and county purchasing | Municipal buildings, libraries, parks | Local vendor preferences, insurance minimums | | School districts | Schools, district offices | Summer deep cleans, board approval dates | Public contracts are slower and more price-competitive than private ones. Many cleaning companies use them to add steady base volume while private outreach builds higher-margin work. ## What should my outreach say?[#](#what-should-my-outreach-say) Lead with a free walkthrough and a written quote, and mention something specific about their type of business. Cleaning is a trust purchase: managers worry about keys, after-hours access and staff turnover more than price. ### Email: office or practice manager[#](#email-office-or-practice-manager) ``` Subject: cleaning for {{business}} Hi there, We clean {{category}} offices around {{city}} after hours, so your team walks into a clean office every morning without anyone having to manage it. I'd like to do a free 15-minute walkthrough and send you a written quote with a fixed monthly price. Same crew every visit, insured, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. Is there a week that works for a quick look? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email: property manager[#](#email-property-manager) ``` Subject: common-area cleaning for your buildings Hi there, We handle common-area and tenant cleaning for commercial buildings around {{city}}. If you manage more than one property, we can quote them together and give you one point of contact for all of them. Can I send a short capabilities sheet and a sample checklist? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ### Call or walk-in opener[#](#call-or-walk-in-opener) ``` "Hi, who handles your cleaning contract? ... I run a commercial cleaning company nearby. I'm not asking you to switch today. I'd like to leave a card and, if it ever helps, do a free walkthrough and quote." ``` Make your promises match your agreement. If the email says "cancel with 30 days' notice", the contract has to say that too. For medical sites, know which of your crew's tasks could involve blood or other potentially infectious materials: OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) applies to employers whose workers have that exposure. ## What rules apply to cold outreach for cleaning services?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-for-cleaning-services) Commercial email in the US falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate headers and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to business lines are mostly exempt from the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule and the National Do Not Call Registry, but the ban on misrepresentations now covers business-to-business calls, and autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent; see [how to find businesses to cold call](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-businesses-to-cold-call). Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, which is a contract issue separate from these laws. Get legal advice for your situation, and see [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws). If you'd rather not build the list by hand, Leadraft finds every business of the types you clean inside the area you draw and checks the emails it finds against the live mail server. Businesses outside your area or in the wrong trade are never charged. Try it on your service area on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing), or read how it works for [local sales teams](https://leadraft.co/solutions/local-sales). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I find commercial cleaning clients?[#](#how-do-i-find-commercial-cleaning-clients) Pick the building types you clean best (offices, medical and dental practices, gyms, daycares, dealerships, churches), list every one of them inside the area your crews can reach, and contact the person who manages the facility. Add property management companies, because one relationship can cover many buildings. Run public bids on SAM.gov and your state and city portals in parallel. ### Where can I find commercial cleaning bids and RFPs?[#](#where-can-i-find-commercial-cleaning-bids-and-rfps) Federal opportunities are posted on SAM.gov; search for janitorial services or NAICS 561720. States, counties, cities, school districts and public universities post their own bids on procurement portals or purchasing pages. Register as a vendor on the ones near you so you're notified when a cleaning bid opens. ### Does it cost money to register on SAM.gov?[#](#does-it-cost-money-to-register-on-samgov) No. Getting a Unique Entity ID and registering and renewing an entity on SAM.gov is free. Be wary of companies that charge to register you. APEX Accelerators offer free help with registration and bidding. ### Who decides on cleaning services at a business?[#](#who-decides-on-cleaning-services-at-a-business) At a small office or practice, usually the owner or office manager. At larger sites, the facilities manager or operations manager. In multi-tenant buildings, the property manager often hires cleaning for common areas and sometimes for tenants. Ask the front desk who handles the cleaning contract. ### Is cold email or cold calling better for cleaning contracts?[#](#is-cold-email-or-cold-calling-better-for-cleaning-contracts) Use both, plus walk-ins. Email reaches office and practice managers at scale; calls and short visits work well with small businesses that have no findable email. Calls to businesses for business services are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but other rules still apply. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get commercial landscaping contracts: property managers, HOAs and office parks Get commercial landscaping contracts: list property managers, HOAs and business sites in your route area, pitch before budget season, and win the walkthrough. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To get commercial landscaping contracts, target the people who hire grounds crews for many sites at once: property management companies, HOA and condo managers, and the owners or facility managers of office parks, retail centers and apartment complexes. List every one of them inside the area your crews can reach, contact them before contracts are reviewed (often late summer and fall), and offer a free property walk and a written scope with a fixed monthly or per-visit price. One good property manager can bring several properties, so the first contract is often the start of a portfolio. ## Who hires commercial landscapers?[#](#who-hires-commercial-landscapers) Commercial landscaping is bought by whoever runs the property. For managed properties that's the property or community manager; for owner-occupied sites it's the owner or facilities manager. The Bureau of Labor Statistics lists contracting for landscaping among property managers' duties. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Target | Why they hire | Google Maps terms | Who decides | Industry page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Property management companies | Grounds for many rentals and buildings | "property management company", "apartment rental agency" | Property or portfolio manager | [Property managers](https://leadraft.co/leads/property-management-companies) | | HOAs and condo associations | Common areas, entrances, pools | "homeowners association", "condominium complex" | Community manager, board approves | | | Apartment complexes | Curb appeal drives leasing | "apartment complex" | Property manager on site, or the management company | | | Office parks and corporate sites | Tenant and visitor impressions | "office park", "corporate office", "business park" | Facilities or property manager | | | Retail centers | Parking islands, entrances | "shopping center", "shopping mall" | Center or property manager | | | Owner-occupied businesses | Medical offices, dealerships, banks, churches | "medical clinic", "car dealer", "church" | Owner, office manager, facilities | [Car dealerships](https://leadraft.co/leads/car-dealerships), [churches](https://leadraft.co/leads/churches) | **Community associations are a big market.** The Foundation for Community Association Research counted about 373,000 community associations in the US in 2025, governed by elected boards of volunteer homeowners. Many of them hire a management company, so the community manager at that company is often the person who brings your proposal to the board. **Public work** is a separate channel. Federal opportunities are posted on SAM.gov (search NAICS 561730, Landscaping Services), and cities, counties and school districts post bids on their own procurement portals. It runs in parallel with private outreach; see [how to get commercial cleaning contracts](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-commercial-cleaning-contracts) for how registration and bid notices work, since the steps are the same. ## How do I build a list of commercial landscaping prospects?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-commercial-landscaping-prospects) Start from your routes, not a city name. Drive time between sites decides your margin, so keep the list tight around where crews already work. 1. **Draw your route area.** A polygon or radius around your yard and current routes, or the ZIP codes you want to grow into. 2. **Search the managers first.** "Property management company", "real estate rental agency", "homeowners association", "HOA management". These are the people who hire for many sites. 3. **Then search the properties.** "Apartment complex", "condominium complex", "office park", "shopping center", "medical clinic", "car dealer", "church", "hotel". A property's listing or website often names the management company. 4. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search returns about 120 results. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 5. **Remove duplicates** and drop anything outside the route area. 6. **Segment:** - **category**: managers vs HOAs vs individual properties. Each gets its own email. - **reviews**: for management companies and apartment complexes, tenant reviews track size. Many reviews means many units. - **rating**: low ratings that mention grounds or upkeep are an opening. - **website**: management company sites often list the communities they manage, which is a ready list of properties. - **emails with role and source**: maintenance@, vendors@ or a named manager beat leasing@. The [property management company list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/property-management-companies) shows the fields and search terms. If you sell to other landscapers instead (equipment, software, subcontracting), see the [landscaper list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/landscapers). Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## What should I pitch to a property manager or HOA?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-a-property-manager-or-hoa) Pitch reliability, a clear scope, and fewer complaints. Managers hear from residents and owners when the grass is long or the entrance looks tired; they want a landscaper they never have to chase. - **Offer a free property walk** and a written scope: mowing frequency, edging, pruning, mulch, seasonal color, leaf cleanup, irrigation checks, and snow removal if you offer it. - **Price clearly.** A fixed monthly price or a per-visit price with a list of what's included and what's extra. Managers compare bids line by line. - **Show you're easy to work with.** Certificate of insurance, W-9, a named account manager, a visit schedule, and a short report or photos after each visit. - **For HOAs,** write the proposal so the community manager can drop it into the board packet. Boards compare scope, price and references. - **Start with one property.** Ask the manager for the site that gives them the most complaints. Do it well and ask for the next. - **Add enhancements later.** Irrigation repair, seasonal color, tree work and drainage are upsells once you hold the maintenance contract. ## When is the best time to pitch commercial landscaping?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-pitch-commercial-landscaping) Late summer through fall, before budgets are set and contracts renew, and winter for walkthroughs and proposals. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that much grounds work is seasonal, mainly in spring, summer and fall, so the offseason is when managers have time to compare vendors and you have time to bid. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Time | What's happening | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | Late summer to fall | Budget season for many calendar-year budgets | First outreach, ask when contracts renew | | Late fall to winter | Proposals and board meetings | Property walks, written bids | | Early spring | Contracts start, some managers replace a vendor who didn't show | Follow up, offer to start fast | | Peak season | Crews busy, managers react to complaints | Short emails; be the backup when a vendor fails | | Tuesday to Thursday, mid-morning | Managers in the office | Best for calls | These are common patterns, not measured results. Fiscal years and board calendars differ, so record each manager's renewal month. **Gatekeepers.** At a management company, the receptionist or leasing agent handles tenants. Ask, "Who handles landscaping contracts for your properties?" and "Do you have a vendor packet?" For HOAs, ask the management company which manager runs that community. ## What should my email say?[#](#what-should-my-email-say) Short, specific, about their properties. Double-brace fields are columns from the export. ``` Subject: landscaping for {{business}} properties Hi there, We maintain commercial and HOA grounds around {{city}}: weekly mowing, beds, pruning, seasonal color and irrigation checks, with a report and photos after every visit. If any of your properties is reviewing its landscaping contract this year, I'd like to walk it and send a written scope with a fixed monthly price. Which property gives you the most complaints? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For a single property, such as a medical office or dealership: ``` Subject: grounds at {{business}} Hi there, We take care of grounds for [type of business] around {{city}}. Clean entrances and parking islands are the first thing patients and customers see. I'd like to do a free 15-minute walk of your property and send a fixed monthly quote. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How often should I follow up?[#](#how-often-should-i-follow-up) Three follow-ups over three weeks, then check in before the next renewal. Many contracts change hands because the current landscaper misses visits; you want to be the name the manager remembers when that happens. 1. **Day 1:** first email. 2. **Day 4:** "When does your landscaping contract usually renew?" 3. **Day 10:** something useful: a sample scope, a sample visit report, your COI. 4. **Day 21:** a polite close. Put the renewal month in your CRM and write again a month before. ## What rules apply to cold outreach for landscaping services?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-for-landscaping-services) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: property managers in Georgia[#](#worked-example-property-managers-in-georgia) Georgia has 2,310 real estate property manager establishments with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 53131). That's the whole state; a landscaper serves a route area, but it shows the size of the manager market. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Assumption | Count | | --- | --- | --- | | Property managers, Georgia | Census 2023 | 2,310 | | Inside your route area | assume 30%, for illustration | about 700 | | Add HOAs, apartment complexes and office parks from Maps | assume 1,300 more | about 2,000 | | With a checked (Verified) email | assume 40% | about 800 | | Leadraft cost | Starter: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month | $19 for the month | If you want the whole state's managers plus properties, with more than 1,000 checked emails, the Growth plan at $49 a month (100,000 businesses, 5,000 checked emails) covers it.

List every one inside the area your crews can reach, contact them before contracts are reviewed, offer a free property walk and a written scope, and price per visit or per month with clear inclusions. ### Who decides on landscaping at a commercial property?[#](#who-decides-on-landscaping-at-a-commercial-property) At managed properties, the property manager or community manager usually hires the landscaper, and for HOAs and condos the volunteer board approves the contract. At owner-occupied sites like a medical office or a dealership, it's the owner, office manager or facilities manager. Large corporate campuses often use a facilities manager or an outsourced facilities company. ### When do commercial landscaping contracts get decided?[#](#when-do-commercial-landscaping-contracts-get-decided) Many contracts are reviewed during budget season, which for calendar-year budgets is often late summer through fall, with new contracts starting before spring. HOA boards decide at scheduled meetings. Contact managers in late summer and fall, and be ready to walk properties in winter. These are common patterns; ask each manager when their contract renews. ### How do I find commercial landscaping leads?[#](#how-do-i-find-commercial-landscaping-leads) Search Google Maps for property management company, homeowners association, apartment complex, condominium complex, office park and shopping center inside the area your crews can reach. One search returns about 120 results, so split the area into ZIP codes or a grid. Export with phone, website, reviews and emails, and prioritize managers who run many properties. ### How do I price a commercial landscaping bid?[#](#how-do-i-price-a-commercial-landscaping-bid) Walk the site, measure turf, beds and hardscape, and write a scope that lists mowing frequency, edging, pruning, mulch, seasonal color, leaf cleanup, irrigation checks and any snow removal. Price from your own crew hours, equipment, materials, travel time and margin. Show what's included and what's extra so managers can compare bids line by line. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 11 min Category Playbook To get dental practices as clients, list every dental practice in the area you serve, separate general dentists from orthodontists and other specialists, and remove the group locations whose buying is done at head office. Then reach the office manager, not the dentist, with one specific observation about their practice and a small next step. Dentists are easy to find, since nearly every practice has a Google Maps listing with a website, hours and reviews, and the practices that fit your offer are visible in those columns before you ever call. ## What do dental practices buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-dental-practices-buy-and-who-decides) A dental practice buys marketing, software, supplies, lab work and services, and the person who decides depends on what it is. At an independent practice the owner dentist signs off on anything clinical or costly; the office manager runs most other vendors. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Who decides (independent practice) | At a DSO or group | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Marketing, SEO, websites, ads | Owner dentist, often after the office manager screens | Often central marketing | New patients per month, in their own town | | Practice management, patient messaging, online booking | Office manager, with the owner | Central IT or operations | Fewer no-shows, less phone time at the front desk | | Dental supplies, equipment | Office manager or lead assistant for consumables; owner for equipment | Central purchasing contracts | Price per case, delivery speed, service | | Lab work (crowns, aligners, dentures) | Owner dentist | Often an approved lab | Turnaround and fit | | IT, phones, cybersecurity | Office manager, owner | Central IT | Downtime, backups, HIPAA questions | | Billing, insurance verification, staffing | Office manager | Central revenue cycle | Days to payment, front-desk hours saved | | Cleaning, waste, repairs | Office manager | Facilities | Reliability, after-hours work | Most of the market is still small. The Census Bureau counted 135,665 offices of dentists with paid employees in 2023, and the American Dental Association's Health Policy Institute counts about 205,000 professionally active dentists. Dental service organizations, which run many locations under one company, are growing and usually buy centrally. That's why the first job in any dental list is separating independents from groups. Specialists are their own market. An orthodontist buys differently from a general dentist (aligner labs, treatment-coordinator software, referral marketing), so give them their own list. See [the orthodontist lead list](https://leadraft.co/leads/orthodontists). ## How do I build a list of dental practices?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-dental-practices) Search Google Maps for every dental search term in the area you serve, combine the results into one list, and remove duplicates. One term is never enough: "dentist", "dental clinic" and "cosmetic dentist" return overlapping but different practices. 1. **Pick the area.** A city, a county, a set of ZIP codes, or a shape you draw around the region you can serve. If you visit offices in person, draw the area around your drive time. 2. **Search several terms.** Start with "dentist", "dental office", "dental clinic", "family dentist", "cosmetic dentist", "pediatric dentist" and "emergency dentist". For specialists add "orthodontist", "endodontist", "periodontist", "oral surgeon" and "prosthodontist". 3. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results, and a metro has far more practices than that. Split by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Check the category.** The Google Maps categories that matter are Dentist, Dental clinic, Cosmetic dentist, Pediatric dentist, Orthodontist, Endodontist, Periodontist, Oral surgeon, Prosthodontist and Emergency dental service. Dental labs and supply stores show up in dental searches too; drop them unless you sell to them. 5. **Mark the groups.** Sort by business name and by website domain. A name or domain that repeats across many locations is usually a DSO or a multi-location group. 6. **Find a contact.** Practices often publish one office email (info@, office@, frontdesk@). Larger ones list a separate address for the office manager or billing. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. The [dentist lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists) shows the full set of search terms and the columns you get for each practice. ## How do I segment dentists by the columns in the list?[#](#how-do-i-segment-dentists-by-the-columns-in-the-list) Use the columns as filters that match your offer. The point is to send each practice a message that only makes sense for practices like it. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Filter | Who it's for | | --- | --- | --- | | `website` | Empty | Web design, dental marketing agencies | | `website_platform` | A template builder | Site migrations, redesigns | | `reviews` | Fewer than about 50 | Review generation, local SEO | | `rating` | Below 4.3 | Reputation and patient-experience offers | | `hours` | Evening or Saturday hours | Online booking, answering services, staffing | | `category` | Orthodontist, Oral surgeon, Pediatric dentist | Specialist products and referral marketing | | `email` role and source | An office manager or billing address | Software, billing and supply pitches | | `in_area` | True | Keeps the list inside your territory | Reviews and rating are a size and reputation signal, not a revenue number. A practice with 900 reviews sees more patients than one with 30, which matters if you sell by volume. Low-review practices are the obvious audience for a review tool. For more on that angle, see [finding businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews). ## What should I pitch a dental practice?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-a-dental-practice) Pitch one outcome the office manager or owner already measures: new patients, no-shows, phone time, days to get paid. Dental offices get a lot of vendor email, so a vague "grow your practice" message is easy to delete. - **Agencies:** show something specific about their own practice. Where they rank for "dentist near me" in their town, whether their site loads on a phone, how their review count compares with the three nearest practices. One observation is enough for the first email. - **Software:** lead with front-desk time. Office managers think in calls answered, confirmations sent and chairs left empty. Be ready to say how you handle patient data and whether you sign a business associate agreement, because that question often decides the deal. - **Supplies and labs:** lead with price per case or turnaround, and offer a sample order or a price sheet against what they buy now. - **Services (IT, billing, cleaning):** lead with reliability and after-hours work, so patient hours aren't disrupted. For agencies, the full outbound playbook is in [how to get leads for a marketing agency](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-leads-for-marketing-agency) and [how to get local SEO clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-local-seo-clients). ## When is the best time to reach a dental office?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-a-dental-office) Email any time; for calls, try early morning before the first patient, or mid-afternoon Tuesday through Thursday. The front desk is busiest when patients check in and out, around lunch, and on Monday mornings when the weekend's messages pile up. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Contact | Better | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Call the front desk | 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., 2 to 4 p.m. | Lunch hour, Monday morning, the last hour of the day | | Walk in with a card | Mid-afternoon on a weekday | Early morning rush | | Email | Any weekday | Nothing in particular | These windows are common practice, not measured results. Check each practice's `hours` column: some close one weekday or run evening and Saturday hours, and that changes the window. **The gatekeeper is the front desk.** Their job is protecting the schedule. Be brief, ask who handles your area ("Who looks after your marketing?" or "Who orders your supplies?"), and ask for the best time or email for that person. Don't pretend to be a patient. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Keep the first email under 100 words, mention their town or a real detail, and ask for a small yes. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{rating}}` and `{{reviews}}`. ### Email 1: marketing agency[#](#email-1-marketing-agency) ``` Subject: new patients for {{business}} Hi there, I looked up "dentist near me" from a few spots in {{city}}. {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, but it isn't in the top three on the map for most of them. I made a one-page note on what's holding it back. Want me to send it to you or your office manager? [Name] · [Agency] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email 1: patient messaging software[#](#email-1-patient-messaging-software) ``` Subject: front-desk phone time at {{business}} Hi there, I work with dental offices around {{city}} on appointment confirmations and recall. Most of the calls your front desk makes to confirm tomorrow's patients can go out as two-way texts. Is a 15-minute look worth it? We sign a business associate agreement before anything touches patient data. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` Only claim what you can show. If you say "the top three on the map", check it before you send. ## How many times should I follow up?[#](#how-many-times-should-i-follow-up) Three or four follow-ups over about three weeks, each shorter than the last and each adding one new thing. Stop when someone replies, asks you to stop, or bounces. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Day | Message | | --- | --- | | 1 | First email | | 4 | Short follow-up: one new detail (a competitor's review count, a screenshot) | | 9 | Call the front desk; ask for the office manager's best time | | 14 | Follow-up: offer the note, sample or price sheet again | | 21 | Last note: "I'll leave it here. If it's ever useful, reply and I'll send it." | Treat these as a starting point and adjust from your own replies. The [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers sending setup, warm-up and volume. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to dentists?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-dentists) In the US, commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. HIPAA protects patient information a practice holds; it doesn't stop you emailing the practice about your product. Calls to a practice's business line are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules still cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones, and many dentists list a cell. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: every dental practice in Texas[#](#worked-example-every-dental-practice-in-texas) The Census Bureau counted 11,902 offices of dentists with paid employees in Texas in 2023. A Google Maps list of Texas will not match that number exactly: it includes specialists, satellite offices and practices with no employees, and excludes any practice without a listing. Use the Census count as a rough size. Assumptions, for illustration only: about 12,000 Texas practices in the list, and about half with a checked email. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Practices in Texas | Census 2023 count, as a rough size | about 12,000 | | Business credits | one per practice, charged once ever | about 12,000 | | Checked emails | half the practices (assumed) | about 6,000 | | Plan | Growth: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 for the first month | | Remaining emails | about 1,000 more in month two | inside the next month's allowance | On Growth, the whole state's list costs $49 in month one and $98 over two months, with the second month's allowance taking the last checked emails. If you only need a metro, the Starter plan at $19 a month covers 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. Catch-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and practices outside your area are never charged. Prices are on the [pricing page](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build dental lists by hand, Leadraft finds every dental practice of the types you choose inside the area you pick, with hours, reviews and checked emails. Try it on your city on the free plan (500 businesses and 50 checked emails, no card), or see the sample columns on [the dentist lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/dentists). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get dental practices as clients?[#](#how-do-i-get-dental-practices-as-clients) List every dental practice in the area you serve, split general dentists from specialists like orthodontists and oral surgeons, and drop the group locations that buy centrally. Then email or call the office manager with one specific observation about their practice and a small next step, such as a short audit or a sample. Follow up three or four times over a few weeks. ### Who makes buying decisions at a dental practice?[#](#who-makes-buying-decisions-at-a-dental-practice) At an independent practice, the owner dentist decides on anything clinical or expensive, and the office manager runs day-to-day vendors such as supplies, software, marketing and IT. At a dental service organization (DSO), many purchases are made centrally, so the local office may not be able to buy. ### What is the best time to contact a dental office?[#](#what-is-the-best-time-to-contact-a-dental-office) Email any time. For calls, try early morning before the first patients, or mid-afternoon on Tuesday to Thursday, and avoid the lunch hour and Monday mornings. Check each practice's listed hours first, because some practices close one weekday or keep evening and Saturday hours. ### How many dental practices are there in the US?[#](#how-many-dental-practices-are-there-in-the-us) The Census Bureau counted 135,665 offices of dentists with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 621210). The largest states are California (22,757), Texas (11,902), Florida (9,039) and New York (8,001). Google Maps listings will not match these counts exactly, because Maps also lists specialists, satellite offices and practices without employees. ### Does HIPAA stop me from cold emailing dentists?[#](#does-hipaa-stop-me-from-cold-emailing-dentists) No. Emailing a practice's business address about your product is business-to-business marketing and doesn't involve patient information. CAN-SPAM governs the email itself. If your product will handle patient data, the practice will expect HIPAA safeguards and usually a business associate agreement. This isn't legal advice. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get HVAC companies as clients: who decides, when to call, what to pitch Get HVAC companies as clients: build a list of every heating and air contractor in your area, reach the owner or GM in the off-season, and pitch with scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To get HVAC companies as clients, build a list of every heating and air contractor in the area you serve, sort them by size (review count is a fair proxy for trucks) and by type (residential, commercial, duct cleaning), and reach the owner or general manager in spring or fall, when they aren't running emergency calls. Lead with one result their kind of shop cares about: more maintenance agreements, fewer missed calls, or faster installs. HVAC companies are easy to find on Google Maps and hard to reach in July, so timing does more of the work than volume. ## What do HVAC companies buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-hvac-companies-buy-and-who-decides) HVAC contractors buy marketing, software, equipment, financing and services, and the decision maker depends on the size of the shop. Most are small: the owner is also the lead tech or the estimator, and decides alone. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Decision maker (small shop) | Decision maker (multi-truck) | The angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Marketing, SEO, ads, websites | Owner | Owner, sometimes a marketing manager | Booked calls before the season, not clicks | | Field service, dispatch, membership software | Owner | General manager, operations manager | Maintenance agreements sold and renewed, techs dispatched faster | | Equipment and parts (distributors) | Owner | Owner, service manager, purchasing | Stock on hand, delivery to the job, rebate paperwork help | | Consumer financing, warranties | Owner | Owner, sales manager | Closing replacement jobs at the kitchen table | | Answering service, call handling | Owner, office manager | Office or customer service manager | No missed calls on the first hot week | | Recruiting, training, uniforms, fleet | Owner | GM, HR | Keeping techs and trucks on the road | | Insurance, accounting, legal | Owner | Owner, controller | Fewer surprises at renewal and tax time | Three kinds of HVAC company sit in any metro. **Owner-operators** run one or two trucks, answer their own phone and decide fast. **Established independents** have a dispatcher, a few techs and an office manager; they're the core market for software and marketing. **Franchise locations and multi-location groups** are fewer and often have brand-approved vendors for some things. The franchisee may still choose local marketing or services, so ask before you rule them out. Certification is a useful filter for some sellers. The EPA requires technicians who maintain, service, repair or dispose of equipment that could release ozone-depleting refrigerants to be certified under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act. Training providers and refrigerant suppliers can reach every company that employs those techs. ## How do I build a list of HVAC companies?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-hvac-companies) Search Google Maps with several HVAC terms across your whole area, piece by piece, then segment the export by category, reviews and website. 1. **Use several search terms.** HVAC companies list themselves under different categories. Search "HVAC contractor", "air conditioning contractor", "air conditioning repair service", "heating contractor", "furnace repair service", "air duct cleaning service", "heat pump installer" and "boiler service". Add "commercial hvac contractor" and "refrigeration contractor" if you sell to commercial shops. 2. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search returns only about 120 results, and a metro has many more HVAC companies than that. Split by ZIP code, suburb or a grid. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates.** The same company shows up under "HVAC contractor" and "Plumber". Dedupe on the Maps place ID or the phone number. 4. **Drop the ones outside your territory.** Search results drift past city lines. A distributor branch or a territory-based franchise seller only wants the ones inside the line. 5. **Segment.** Sort by the columns that predict fit: - **category**: residential HVAC vs duct cleaning vs commercial refrigeration vs combined plumbing and HVAC shops. - **reviews**: a rough size signal. A company with 900 reviews runs more trucks than one with 30. - **rating**: a 4.9 company wants to protect it; a 3.8 company may want help with it. - **website**: no website is a web-design lead; an old builder template is a rebuild lead. - **hours**: 24-hour companies buy answering services and after-hours dispatch. 6. **Write to the right inbox.** Mid-size HVAC companies list service@, sales@, office@ and careers@ addresses. Use the email's role and the page it came from to write to the office or sales inbox, not recruiting. For a ready-made view of the fields and search terms, see the [HVAC contractor lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/hvac-contractors). Many HVAC companies also do plumbing; if you sell to both, run the [plumber list](https://leadraft.co/leads/plumbers) in the same area and dedupe. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## What should I pitch to an HVAC company?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-an-hvac-company) Pitch one result in the owner's language: booked jobs, signed maintenance agreements, calls answered, techs kept. HVAC owners hear from a lot of vendors, and the generic "grow your business" email gets deleted. Angles that fit each seller: - **Marketing agencies:** show where they appear for "ac repair" in their own ZIP next to the competitor with the most reviews, and offer a pre-season tune-up campaign. The rating and review columns give you the comparison without opening Maps. - **Software:** maintenance agreements are the steady revenue in HVAC. Pitch selling and renewing plans, faster dispatch and fewer callbacks. Target companies with 100 or more reviews, which tend to run several trucks. - **Distributors and manufacturers:** segment by distance from each branch. Lead with stock, delivery and help with rebate and tax-credit paperwork. - **Financing:** a system replacement is a large ticket. Offer financing that helps the comfort advisor close, and only quote approval numbers you can document. - **Answering services:** target the 24-hour companies from the hours column and quote a price per answered call. ## When is the best time to reach HVAC contractors?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-hvac-contractors) Reach them in spring and fall, between the cooling and heating peaks, and mid-morning on weekdays after the trucks have left. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that HVAC technicians work overtime or irregular schedules during peak heating and cooling seasons, and the office phones are just as full. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Season | What they're doing | What to pitch | | --- | --- | --- | | Late winter to early spring | Planning the cooling season | Marketing, tune-up campaigns, hiring | | Summer peak | Emergency calls, long days | Only answering services and staffing; keep it short | | Fall | Heating tune-ups, quieter office | Software, financing, next year's budget | | Winter peak (cold climates) | Furnace and boiler calls | Short follow-ups, not new pitches | These are common patterns, not measured results, and they shift by climate. In the Sun Belt the cooling season runs long and the quiet window is shorter. **Gatekeepers.** At a mid-size shop the phone is answered by a customer service rep or dispatcher whose job is to book service calls. Be clear and quick: "I'm not a customer. Who handles your software and vendors, and when is a good time to reach them?" Then email that person. At a small shop the number is often the owner's cell, which matters for texting rules (below). ## What should my email to an HVAC company say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-an-hvac-company-say) Keep it short, name something true about their company, and ask for a small next step. The fields in double braces are columns from the export. ``` Subject: {{business}} before the summer rush Hi there, I saw {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, which is strong for {{city}}. I help HVAC companies turn those customers into maintenance agreements before the cooling season, so the slow months still have booked work. Can I send a one-page plan for {{business}}? No call needed unless it looks useful. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For a distributor: ``` Subject: parts delivery for {{business}} Hi there, We run the [brand] branch on [road], about [distance] from you, and deliver to job sites around {{city}} the same day. We also handle the rebate paperwork on high-efficiency units. Would a price sheet and our delivery schedule be useful? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` More templates for local businesses are in [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses). ## How many times should I follow up?[#](#how-many-times-should-i-follow-up) Send the first email and three short follow-ups over about three weeks, then stop until next season. HVAC owners often read email at night or on rainy days, so a well-timed follow-up gets read when the first one didn't. 1. **Day 1:** the first email. 2. **Day 4:** one line: "Did this reach the right person, or is someone else in charge of \[topic\]?" 3. **Day 10:** something useful: a short teardown of their Google listing, a price sheet, a rebate summary. 4. **Day 21:** a polite close: "I'll leave it here. If \[topic\] comes up before the season, reply and I'll send the plan." Honor every opt-out right away, and keep a do-not-contact list so they don't get the next campaign. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to HVAC companies?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-hvac-companies) In the US, commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject lines, a physical postal address, and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule and the National Do Not Call Registry, but the ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls. Many small HVAC shops list the owner's cell phone, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: every HVAC company in Texas[#](#worked-example-every-hvac-company-in-texas) Texas has 8,966 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractor establishments with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 238220). HVAC and plumbing share that code, and owner-operators with no employees aren't counted, so your Google Maps list will be a different size. Use it to plan. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Assumption | Count | | --- | --- | --- | | Companies in the code, Texas | Census 2023 | 8,966 | | Assume a list of about the same size | Maps adds owner-operators, HVAC terms leave out plumbing-only shops | about 9,000 | | With a checked (Verified) email | assume half, for illustration | about 4,500 | | Leadraft cost | Growth: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 for the month | The Starter plan at $19 a month covers 25,000 businesses but only 1,000 checked emails, so for a whole-state list Growth is the plan that covers both in one month. For one metro of about 1,500 companies with about 750 checked emails, Starter covers it. Businesses outside your area or in the wrong trade are shown free, each business is charged once ever, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build the list by hand, Leadraft finds every HVAC company inside the area you choose, finds emails on each company's own site and [checks them against the live mailbox](https://leadraft.co/product/emails). Try it on your territory on the free plan, or see the fields on the [HVAC contractor list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/hvac-contractors). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get HVAC companies as clients?[#](#how-do-i-get-hvac-companies-as-clients) List every HVAC contractor in the area you serve, split them by size using review count and by type using their Google Maps category, and contact the owner or general manager in spring or fall, when they aren't buried in emergency calls. Lead with one concrete result for their kind of shop: more maintenance agreements, fewer missed calls, faster installs. ### Who makes buying decisions at an HVAC company?[#](#who-makes-buying-decisions-at-an-hvac-company) At a small shop, the owner decides on everything that costs real money. At a company with several trucks, the general manager or operations manager usually owns software, dispatch and vendors, the service manager has a say on parts and tools, and the owner still signs off on marketing and anything long term. Franchise locations follow some brand rules, so ask what the franchise lets them choose. ### When is the best time to sell to HVAC contractors?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-sell-to-hvac-contractors) Spring and fall, between the heating and cooling peaks. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that HVAC technicians work overtime or irregular schedules during peak heating and cooling seasons, and the office is just as busy. Pitch summer marketing in late winter and early spring, and software in the fall. ### How do I find a list of HVAC companies in my area?[#](#how-do-i-find-a-list-of-hvac-companies-in-my-area) Search Google Maps for terms such as HVAC contractor, air conditioning repair service, heating contractor, furnace repair service and air duct cleaning service in each part of your area, because one search shows only about 120 results. Export to a spreadsheet with phone, website, rating, reviews, hours and emails from each company's own website. ### How many HVAC companies are there in the US?[#](#how-many-hvac-companies-are-there-in-the-us) The Census Bureau counts HVAC companies together with plumbers under NAICS 238220. County Business Patterns 2023 lists 111,207 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractor establishments with paid employees, led by California, Florida and Texas. Owner-operators with no employees are not in that count. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get law firms as clients: practice areas, decision makers and the pitch Get law firms as clients: pick practice areas, list every firm in your market, reach the managing partner or administrator, and use outreach scripts that fit. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To get law firms as clients, pick the practice areas your offer fits, list every firm in those areas in your market, and contact the person who buys: the attorney at a solo practice, the managing partner at a small firm, the firm administrator or marketing director at a larger one. Lead with what lawyers measure, which is signed cases, intake and billable hours. Nearly every firm has a Google Maps listing with its practice area, website and reviews, so you can tell which firms fit before you write. ## What do law firms buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-law-firms-buy-and-who-decides) Law firms buy marketing, intake, software, IT, staffing and litigation support. Who decides depends mostly on firm size. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Solo or small firm | Mid-size or large firm | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Marketing, SEO, ads, websites | Attorney or managing partner | Marketing director, with partners | Signed cases in their practice area and city | | Intake, answering, chat | Managing partner, office manager | Intake manager, administrator | Missed calls turned into consultations | | Case management, billing, document software | Managing partner, office manager | Firm administrator, IT | Billable hours captured, time saved | | IT, cybersecurity, phones | Office manager | IT director | Uptime, client confidentiality | | Bookkeeping, trust accounting | Managing partner | Finance director | Accurate trust records, less partner time | | Legal staffing (paralegals, contract attorneys) | Managing partner | HR, administrator | Speed, qualified people | | Litigation support (court reporting, process serving, records retrieval, translation) | Attorney, paralegal | Litigation support manager, paralegals | Turnaround, reliability | Most of the market is small. The Census Bureau counted 165,491 offices of lawyers with paid employees in 2023, and the ABA counts about 1.37 million active lawyers. A large share practice alone or in small firms, where the person you email is the person who decides. ## Which law firms should I target?[#](#which-law-firms-should-i-target) Target the practice areas whose clients search for a lawyer, because those firms buy marketing, intake and software most often. Personal injury, criminal defense, family law, immigration, estate planning and bankruptcy firms win clients one consumer at a time. Business law and insurance defense firms rely more on referrals. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Practice area | Google Maps search terms | What they often buy | | --- | --- | --- | | Personal injury | "personal injury attorney", "car accident lawyer", "truck accident lawyer" | Ads, SEO, intake, case funding services | | Family | "family law attorney", "divorce lawyer", "child custody lawyer" | SEO, reviews, intake | | Criminal defense | "criminal defense attorney", "dui lawyer" | Ads, 24-hour answering | | Estate planning | "estate planning attorney", "probate attorney", "elder law attorney" | Seminars, content, document software | | Immigration | "immigration attorney" | Multilingual intake, translation | | Bankruptcy | "bankruptcy attorney" | Ads, intake | | Business, employment, real estate | "business attorney", "employment attorney", "real estate attorney" | Websites, IT, billing | Google Maps categories for law firms include Law firm, Attorney, Lawyer, Legal services, Personal injury attorney, Family law attorney, Divorce lawyer, Criminal justice attorney, Estate planning attorney, Immigration attorney, Bankruptcy attorney and Employment attorney. Many firms pick a general category like Law firm, so search by practice-area term as well as category. ## How do I build a list of law firms?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-law-firms) Search Google Maps for every practice-area term across your market, merge the results, and remove individual attorney listings if you sell to the firm. 1. **Pick the market.** A city, a county, a set of ZIP codes, or a shape around the region you serve. Agencies often take one practice area in several cities. 2. **Search each practice area.** Use the terms in the table. "Lawyer" alone returns a mix. 3. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results, and a large city has thousands of firms. Split by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Collapse attorneys into firms.** Many lawyers have their own Maps profile at the firm's address. Group by website domain and keep one row per firm, or keep each attorney if you sell per seat. 5. **Remove non-firms.** Legal aid, court offices, bail bonds and notaries appear in legal searches. Keep them only if they fit. 6. **Find a contact.** Small firms often publish the attorney's own email; larger ones list intake and office addresses. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. The [law firm lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/law-firms) has the full set of search terms and columns. ## How do I segment law firms with the list's columns?[#](#how-do-i-segment-law-firms-with-the-lists-columns) Use the columns as filters that match your offer. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Filter | Who it's for | | --- | --- | --- | | `category` | One practice area | Practice-specific marketing and software | | `website` | Empty or dated | Web design for law firms | | `reviews` | Fewer than about 30 | Review generation, local SEO | | `rating` | Below 4.3 | Reputation offers | | `hours` | Open 24 hours or weekends | Intake and answering services (they already value it) | | `email` role and source | An attorney's name address vs intake@ | Pick the decision maker over the intake inbox | | `in_area` | True | Keeps the list to your market | ## What should I pitch a law firm?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-a-law-firm) Pitch in the firm's own terms: signed cases, consultations booked, billable hours captured. Lawyers are skeptical readers, so one specific, checkable observation beats any claim. - **Marketing agencies:** show where the firm ranks for its main practice term in its own city, compared with the two or three firms above it. Make no promise about results you can't control. - **Intake and answering:** missed calls after hours. A firm that lists 24-hour availability but sends calls to voicemail is losing consultations. - **Software:** hours captured per attorney per week, and how long migration takes. Address confidentiality and data security directly. - **Staffing and litigation support:** turnaround and quality, with references from nearby firms. For agency-specific playbooks, see [how to get leads for a marketing agency](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-leads-for-marketing-agency) and [how to get local SEO clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-local-seo-clients). ## When is the best time to reach a lawyer?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-a-lawyer) Email early in the morning or late afternoon on weekdays; lawyers often check email before court and after. For calls, mid-morning and mid-afternoon, Tuesday through Thursday, work better than Monday morning or Friday afternoon. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Contact | Better | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Email | 7 to 9 a.m., 4 to 6 p.m. weekdays | Weekends, unless the firm keeps weekend hours | | Call | 10 to 11:30 a.m., 2 to 4 p.m. | Monday morning, Friday afternoon | | Visit | Rarely; ask for a meeting first | Unannounced | These are common practice, not measured results. Attorneys who are in court in the morning answer later in the day. **The receptionist or paralegal is the gatekeeper.** Say clearly that you're a vendor, not a potential client, ask who handles your area, and ask for the best email. Pretending to be a prospective client wastes their time and destroys trust. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Under 100 words, specific to their practice area and city. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{category}}`, `{{rating}}`, `{{reviews}}`. ### Email 1: marketing agency[#](#email-1-marketing-agency) ``` Subject: "{{category}} {{city}}" search for {{business}} Hi there, I searched for a {{category}} in {{city}} from three spots in town. {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, but it shows below [two firms] on the map for that search. I wrote a short note on why. Want me to send it? [Name] · [Agency] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email 1: intake or answering service[#](#email-1-intake-or-answering-service) ``` Subject: after-hours calls at {{business}} Hi there, We answer after-hours and overflow calls for {{category}} firms around {{city}}, screen them against your criteria and book consultations into your calendar. Worth a 15-minute look? If your intake is already covered, tell me and I'll stop here. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` Check every claim before you send. If you say a firm ranks below two others, it should be true when they look. ## How many times should I follow up?[#](#how-many-times-should-i-follow-up) Three or four follow-ups over three to four weeks, each short and each adding one new piece of evidence. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Day | Step | | --- | --- | | 1 | First email | | 4 | Follow-up: one screenshot or number | | 9 | Call the office; ask who handles marketing or operations | | 15 | Follow-up: the note or demo again, smaller | | 25 | Last note, then stop | The [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers domains, warm-up and sending volume. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to law firms?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-law-firms) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. ABA Model Rule 7.3 and its state versions limit how lawyers solicit clients; they don't govern a vendor emailing a firm. If you market for law firms, their advertising must follow their state's version of the lawyer advertising rules, so learn them before you run campaigns. Calls to business lines are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones, and many solo lawyers list a cell. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: personal injury firms in Florida[#](#worked-example-personal-injury-firms-in-florida) The Census Bureau counted 17,261 offices of lawyers with paid employees in Florida in 2023 (NAICS 541110), all practice areas together. Personal injury is one slice of that. Assumptions, for illustration only: a search for personal injury terms across Florida returns about 5,000 firm and attorney listings after deduplication, about 3,000 firms once attorneys are collapsed into firms, and you take out one checked email for most firms. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Personal injury listings in Florida | from the search (assumed) | about 5,000 | | Business credits | one per listing, charged once ever | about 5,000 | | Firms after collapsing attorneys | by website domain (assumed) | about 3,000 | | Checked emails taken out | one per firm (assumed) | about 3,000 | | Plan | Growth: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 | If you start with one metro, the Starter plan at $19 a month covers 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. If you go after every practice area statewide, Growth's 100,000 business credits cover it, and you take emails out across a few months. Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build law firm lists by hand, Leadraft finds every firm of the practice areas you choose inside the area you pick, with checked emails from each firm's own website. Try it on the free plan, or see the columns on [the law firm lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/law-firms). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get law firms as clients?[#](#how-do-i-get-law-firms-as-clients) Pick the practice areas your offer fits (personal injury, family, estate planning, criminal defense, immigration), list every firm in those areas in your market, and contact the managing partner at a small firm or the firm administrator at a larger one. Lead with cases, intake or billable hours, not features, and follow up three or four times over a few weeks. ### Who makes buying decisions at a law firm?[#](#who-makes-buying-decisions-at-a-law-firm) At a solo practice, the attorney decides everything. At a small firm, the managing partner decides, often with an office manager screening vendors. Larger firms have a firm administrator or chief operating officer, a marketing director and an IT lead who each own their area, with partners approving large spends. ### How many law firms are there in the US?[#](#how-many-law-firms-are-there-in-the-us) The Census Bureau counted 165,491 offices of lawyers with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 541110). The largest states are California (22,821), Florida (17,261), Texas (13,833) and New York (11,745). The ABA counts about 1.37 million active lawyers (2025), many of them solo practitioners. ### Do lawyer solicitation rules apply when I email a law firm?[#](#do-lawyer-solicitation-rules-apply-when-i-email-a-law-firm) No. Rules like ABA Model Rule 7.3 limit how lawyers solicit clients; they don't govern a vendor emailing a law firm. Your emails are commercial B2B messages, so CAN-SPAM applies. If you market for law firms, though, their ads must follow their state's lawyer advertising rules, so learn them. This isn't legal advice. ### Which law firms spend the most on marketing?[#](#which-law-firms-spend-the-most-on-marketing) Firms that win clients one consumer at a time, such as personal injury, criminal defense, family law, immigration and estate planning, rely most on local search, ads and intake. Business-focused firms rely more on referrals and relationships. Target the practice areas whose clients search for a lawyer online. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get leads for a marketing agency: 11 channels ranked 11 ways to get leads for a marketing agency, ranked by cost, time to first client and how well they scale, with honest pros and cons for each channel. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook The best way to get leads for a marketing agency depends on how fast you need clients and what you can spend. For a new or small agency, the fastest channels are referrals, partnerships and direct outreach to one niche (cold email, calls and visits built from a list of local businesses). Content, SEO, LinkedIn and paid ads take longer and work better once you have case studies. Most agencies that grow steadily combine one fast channel with one slow, compounding one. Below are 11 channels, ranked for a small agency selling to local or small businesses, with honest costs, time and trade-offs. ## How are these channels ranked?[#](#how-are-these-channels-ranked) We ranked them for a small agency (one to ten people) selling marketing, web or SEO services to small and local businesses, on three things: - **Time to first client:** how long before the channel usually produces a paying client. - **Cash cost:** what you spend before it pays back (time is listed separately). - **Scalability:** whether doubling the effort roughly doubles the results. This is our judgment, not a survey. If you sell to enterprise brands, the order changes: LinkedIn, events and content move up. ## The 11 channels at a glance[#](#the-11-channels-at-a-glance) Scroll horizontally if needed → | # | Channel | Time to first client | Cash cost | Time cost | Scales? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Referrals from clients and contacts | Days to weeks | None | Low | Poorly | | 2 | Partnerships with complementary businesses | Weeks | None | Medium | Moderately | | 3 | Cold email to a niche | Weeks | Low | Medium | Well | | 4 | Cold calls and in-person visits | Days to weeks | None | High | Poorly | | 5 | Local networking and referral groups | Weeks to months | Low to medium | Medium | Poorly | | 6 | LinkedIn (posting plus direct messages) | Weeks to months | Free to medium | Medium | Moderately | | 7 | Freelance marketplaces | Days to weeks | Fees on earnings | Medium | Moderately | | 8 | Free audits and tools as lead magnets | Weeks to months | Low | Medium | Well | | 9 | Agency directories and review sites | Months | Free to high | Low | Moderately | | 10 | Content and SEO for your own agency | Months | Low | High | Very well | | 11 | Paid ads | Days to weeks | High | Medium | Well, if margins allow | ## 1\. Referrals from clients and contacts[#](#1-referrals-from-clients-and-contacts) Referrals close fastest because trust is borrowed. Ask every past and current client for one introduction, at a moment when they're happy: after a launch, a good month, or a thank-you. - **Pros:** highest close rate, no cash cost, best-fit clients. - **Cons:** you can't control the volume, and a new agency has few clients to ask. - **Make it work:** ask for a specific kind of business ("Do you know another dentist who's unhappy with their website?"), and offer a referral fee or a month free if that suits your clients. ## 2\. Partnerships with complementary businesses[#](#2-partnerships-with-complementary-businesses) Partner with businesses that serve your clients before or after you do: web developers if you do SEO, accountants and business coaches, printers, POS resellers, and agencies that don't do your service. - **Pros:** a steady flow from people your clients already trust. - **Cons:** slow to set up, and partners only refer if you refer back or pay. - **Make it work:** start with three partners, agree on what a good referral looks like, and send them work first. ## 3\. Cold email to a niche[#](#3-cold-email-to-a-niche) Cold email is the most scalable outbound channel when the list is targeted and the message is specific. For agencies selling to local businesses, the list is the business: build it from Google Maps by trade and area, find the email on each business's own website, verify it, and write about something true on their listing. - **Pros:** you choose exactly who hears from you, it scales with list size, and the cash cost is low. - **Cons:** setup takes care (separate domain, authentication, warm-up), generic emails get ignored, and bad lists damage your sending reputation. - **Rules:** in the US, CAN-SPAM covers business email: honest headers and subject lines, a postal address, and an opt-out honored within 10 business days. - **Make it work:** one niche, one area, one offer. Our [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) walks through the whole process with a worked funnel, and our [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses) give you starting copy. ## 4\. Cold calls and in-person visits[#](#4-cold-calls-and-in-person-visits) Calling or walking into local businesses still works, especially for trades where the owner answers the phone and for shops near you. - **Pros:** immediate feedback, no cash cost, and the best way to reach businesses with no website or email. - **Cons:** time-heavy and doesn't scale beyond your hours. Many people find it draining. - **Rules:** the FTC says most sales calls to businesses are exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry provisions, but autodialers, prerecorded messages and texts to mobile numbers have their own rules. Dial by hand. - **Make it work:** call mid-morning or mid-afternoon, lead with one observation about their listing, and ask a question rather than pitching. ## 5\. Local networking and referral groups[#](#5-local-networking-and-referral-groups) Chambers of commerce, BNI-style referral groups and local business meetups put you in a room with owners. - **Pros:** trust builds fast in person, and members refer each other. - **Cons:** membership fees and weekly time commitments, and results depend heavily on the specific group. - **Make it work:** visit a meeting before joining, pick a group with businesses that match your niche, and give referrals first. ## 6\. LinkedIn: posting and direct messages[#](#6-linkedin-posting-and-direct-messages) LinkedIn works best when your buyers are on it: professional services, B2B companies, multi-location brands. Many trades and restaurants are not active there. - **Pros:** free to start, and posting builds visible proof over time. - **Cons:** slow to compound, and message limits cap outbound volume. - **Cost:** free for posting. LinkedIn lists Sales Navigator Core from US$119.99 a month per license billed monthly, or US$1,079.88 a year, as of October 2026. - **Make it work:** post one specific result or teardown a week, and message people who engage. ## 7\. Freelance marketplaces[#](#7-freelance-marketplaces) Upwork, Fiverr and similar marketplaces bring buyers who already want the service. - **Pros:** buyers with intent and budget, fast first projects, and a way to build reviews. - **Cons:** price competition, platform fees on what you earn, paid proposals on some platforms, and clients who belong to the platform rather than to you. - **Make it work:** use it to get the first few case studies, then move clients to direct contracts where the platform's terms allow. ## 8\. Free audits and tools as lead magnets[#](#8-free-audits-and-tools-as-lead-magnets) A free website grader, a review-gap report or a one-page listing audit gives prospects a reason to contact you. - **Pros:** inbound leads that already know their problem, and it pairs well with cold email ("I made you one"). - **Cons:** takes effort to build and promote, and many downloaders never buy. - **Make it work:** keep the audit to one page with three fixes, and follow up personally within a day. ## 9\. Agency directories and review sites[#](#9-agency-directories-and-review-sites) Directories such as Clutch, plus your own Google Business Profile, help buyers who are comparing agencies. - **Pros:** buyers in comparison mode, and reviews keep working for years. - **Cons:** paid placements can be expensive, and it takes months of reviews before you show up. - **Make it work:** complete your own Google Business Profile first, since it's free, and ask every happy client for a review. ## 10\. Content and SEO for your own agency[#](#10-content-and-seo-for-your-own-agency) Writing the best answer to the questions your buyers search ("how much does a dental website cost", "why isn't my roofing company on Google Maps") brings inbound leads for years. - **Pros:** compounds over time and scales without extra cost per lead. - **Cons:** months before it produces leads, and competitive for broad terms. - **Make it work:** go narrow. "SEO for HVAC companies in Phoenix" is winnable; "SEO services" is not. ## 11\. Paid ads[#](#11-paid-ads) Google Ads and social ads buy attention immediately. - **Pros:** fast, measurable, and easy to switch off. - **Cons:** the most expensive channel per lead for most small agencies, and buyers searching "marketing agency near me" are comparing several of you. - **Make it work:** only once you know your close rate and client value, so you can work out what a lead is worth. Advertise a specific offer for a niche, not "full-service marketing". ## Which channels should a new agency start with?[#](#which-channels-should-a-new-agency-start-with) Start with one fast channel and one slow one, and give each 90 days. A practical combination: 1. **Fast:** referrals plus direct outreach (cold email or calls) to one niche in one area. 2. **Slow:** a weekly piece of content for that same niche: a teardown, a case study, an answer to a buyer question. Track leads, calls and clients by channel from the first week. After 90 days, double down on what's working and drop what isn't. ## How do I work out how many leads I need?[#](#how-do-i-work-out-how-many-leads-i-need) Work backward from the number of clients you want, using your own rates. As an illustration with assumed numbers: if you want two new clients a month, close one in three sales calls, and one in four interested replies books a call, you need 24 interested replies a month. At an assumed 1% positive reply rate on cold email, that's about 2,400 verified emails a month. Every rate here is an assumption; replace each one with your own after the first month. Our [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) does this arithmetic for you. If cold email is one of your channels, Leadraft builds the list: every business of a trade in the area you choose, with verified emails from their own websites, ready to push to your sending tool. You can try it on one niche on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the fastest way to get leads for a new marketing agency?[#](#what-is-the-fastest-way-to-get-leads-for-a-new-marketing-agency) Referrals and direct outreach. Ask everyone you've worked with for one introduction, then contact businesses in one niche directly by email, phone or in person. Content, SEO and paid ads take longer to pay back and work better once you have case studies. ### How do marketing agencies find clients for free?[#](#how-do-marketing-agencies-find-clients-for-free) Referrals, partnerships with complementary businesses, local networking events, posting useful work on LinkedIn, and building prospect lists by hand from Google Maps all cost time rather than money. Paid tools mainly save time once you know which channel works. ### Is cold email still worth it for agencies?[#](#is-cold-email-still-worth-it-for-agencies) It can be, if the list is targeted and verified and the message is specific to the business. Cold email fails when it is sent in bulk to unverified lists with generic copy. In the US it must follow CAN-SPAM, including for business email. ### Should a marketing agency niche down?[#](#should-a-marketing-agency-niche-down) Usually yes, at least for outbound. A niche lets you reuse one offer, one set of case studies and one prospect list, and makes every channel cheaper because your message is more specific. You can still take clients outside it. ### Should I buy leads for my agency?[#](#should-i-buy-leads-for-my-agency) Be careful. Shared or bought lists are often out of date and contacted by many other agencies. Building your own list of businesses in your niche and area, with verified emails, usually gives you fresher, exclusive data. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to find local SEO clients: a prospecting system Find local SEO clients with Google Maps data: score prospects on reviews, rating, category, hours and website, lead with a short audit, and use the templates. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook The fastest way to find local SEO clients is to pick one trade, pull every business of that trade in your area from Google Maps, and score each one on signals you can see for free: review count, rating, primary category, hours and website. The businesses with a clear, fixable gap against their competitors are your prospects. Then lead with a short audit of their own listing, not a generic pitch. This system is repeatable: same trade, new city, same scoring, same templates. ## Why use Google Maps data to prospect for local SEO?[#](#why-use-google-maps-data-to-prospect-for-local-seo) Because Google Maps shows you the exact thing you'll be fixing. A local SEO client's problem is visible on their listing before you ever speak to them: too few reviews, a weak rating, the wrong primary category, no website. You can diagnose from the outside, which makes the first email specific instead of a guess. It also tells you who is winning. For any trade and city, the top results show what a competitor with strong signals looks like, so you can compare each prospect against them in numbers. ## What signals in Maps data show a business needs local SEO?[#](#what-signals-in-maps-data-show-a-business-needs-local-seo) Google says local results are "mainly based on relevance, distance, and popularity", with prominence covering how well-known a business is, including its reviews. You can't change distance. You can see, and help fix, the rest. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Signal (field in an export) | What a gap looks like | Why it matters | | --- | --- | --- | | Review count (`reviews`) | Far fewer than the top three in the same trade and city | Google says more reviews and positive ratings can help local ranking. BrightLocal's 2026 survey found 47% of US consumers won't use a business with fewer than 20 reviews | | Rating (`rating`) | Below 4.0, or below 4.5 in a competitive trade | In the same survey, 68% said they'd only use a business with four or more stars | | Primary category (`category`) | Generic ("Contractor") where competitors use specific ones ("Roofing contractor") | Category drives relevance for the searches that matter | | All categories (`categories`) | Only one category when the business offers several services | Missed relevance for secondary services | | Hours (`hours`) | Missing, or not matching the website | Incomplete profiles, and customers calling when the business is closed | | Website (`website`) | Missing, Facebook-only, or a thin one-page site | Fewer places for Google and customers to confirm what the business does | | Website platform (`website_platform`) | A site builder template with no service pages | Often a quick win: service and area pages | Two cautions. First, these are signals, not a diagnosis: a business with few reviews may be brand new and growing fast. Second, avoid prospects so far behind that no realistic amount of work will matter in the time they'll give you. ## How do I score and shortlist prospects?[#](#how-do-i-score-and-shortlist-prospects) Give each business a simple score in a spreadsheet and sort by it. A workable rule, with points you can adjust: 1. **+2** if `reviews` is under half the median of the top 10 businesses in that trade and city. 2. **+2** if `rating` is below 4.0, **+1** if 4.0 to 4.4. 3. **+1** if `category` is generic or differs from what the top three use. 4. **+1** if `hours` is empty. 5. **+2** if `website` is empty or contains facebook.com. 6. **−3** if the business looks inactive: no recent reviews, or "permanently closed". Prospects scoring 4 or more get a personal audit. Prospects scoring 2 to 3 get a templated email. Under 2, skip. Spreadsheet helpers, with reviews in column H and website in column F: - Median reviews of a segment: `=MEDIAN(H2:H200)` - Facebook-only check: `=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("facebook.com", F2))` - No website: `=F2=""` ## How do I build the list?[#](#how-do-i-build-the-list) Cover the whole area, not one search. A single Google Maps search stops returning new places after roughly 120 results, so run your trade keywords per neighborhood or ZIP code and dedupe on the place ID. Our [guide to finding every business in a city](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) covers the method, and the [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) covers the full process from keywords to verified emails. Pick trades where one new customer is worth a lot: dentists, roofers, HVAC, personal injury law, med spas. Our [industry lead list pages](https://leadraft.co/leads) compare trades. ## What should a prospecting audit include?[#](#what-should-a-prospecting-audit-include) One page, five sections, ten minutes per prospect. Anything longer won't be read. 1. **Where they show up.** Search two or three money keywords ("emergency plumber \[city\]") from a location in their area, and note where they appear in the map pack. Say clearly that results vary by where the searcher is. 2. **Reviews against competitors.** Their count and rating next to the top three. 3. **Profile basics.** Primary category, secondary categories, hours, website, photos. 4. **Website basics.** Mobile, click-to-call, a page per service, HTTPS. 5. **Three fixes,** in order of impact, each one sentence. Send the audit as a short image, a PDF or a two-minute screen recording. Don't hide it behind a call. ## What should the outreach say? Templates[#](#what-should-the-outreach-say-templates) All templates use fields from a Maps export. Maps doesn't list owner names, so open with "Hi there" or the business name. ### Template 1: review gap[#](#template-1-review-gap) ``` Subject: {{business}} vs the top 3 in {{city}} Hi there, I searched "{{category}} {{city}}" and pulled the top three results. They average [N] Google reviews. {{business}} has {{reviews}}. Reviews are one of the things Google says helps local ranking, and it's one of the easiest gaps to close with a simple ask after each job. I put together a one-page comparison. Want me to send it over? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Reply "no" and I won't follow up. ``` ### Template 2: category mismatch[#](#template-2-category-mismatch) ``` Subject: your Google category Hi there, Quick one: {{business}} is listed on Google as "{{category}}". The three {{city}} competitors that show up first all use "[specific category]". Your category is one of the main ways Google decides which searches you're relevant for. It takes two minutes to change, and I'm happy to show you which secondary categories are worth adding too. Worth a short call? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ### Template 3: audit attached[#](#template-3-audit-attached) ``` Subject: 3 fixes for {{business}} on Google Maps Hi there, I made a one-page audit of {{business}}'s Google listing against the top results for "{{category}} {{city}}". The short version: 1. [Fix one] 2. [Fix two] 3. [Fix three] The full page is here: [link]. If you'd like help with any of it, reply and we'll find 15 minutes. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ### Follow-up (send once, four to six days later)[#](#follow-up-send-once-four-to-six-days-later) ``` Subject: re: {{business}} Hi there, one more note and then I'll leave it. Of the three fixes, [fix one] is the one I'd do first. It's free and takes about [time]. Happy to walk you through it on a call, no strings. [Name] ``` For more by offer, see [12 cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses). ## What should I not promise?[#](#what-should-i-not-promise) Don't promise rankings. Distance from the searcher is part of local ranking and nobody controls it, and Google states plainly: "There's no way to request or pay for a better local ranking on Google." Promise the work, the reporting and the measurement. Don't write fake reviews or offer discounts or gifts in exchange for reviews, either: Google's contribution policy treats incentivized reviews as prohibited fake engagement, which puts the client's listing at risk. Asking happy customers for an honest review is fine. ## How do I send this at volume without hurting deliverability?[#](#how-do-i-send-this-at-volume-without-hurting-deliverability) Verify every email before sending, send from a separate warmed-up domain, and start with a small slice. In the US, CAN-SPAM requires accurate sender details, an honest subject line, a postal address and an opt-out honored within 10 business days, for B2B too. Our [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers setup, and [catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) covers the accept-all grade. If you want to skip the manual list-building, Leadraft pulls every business in a trade for the area you choose, keeps only the ones inside it and on topic, finds emails on their own websites and checks them against the live mail server.

Contact the ones with a clear, fixable gap and lead with a short audit of their own listing instead of a generic pitch. ### What makes a business a good local SEO prospect?[#](#what-makes-a-business-a-good-local-seo-prospect) An active business in a high-value trade that is visibly behind its competitors on Maps: fewer reviews, a lower rating, a vague category, missing hours, or no website. Businesses already in the top three with hundreds of reviews have the least to gain. ### What should a local SEO audit for prospecting include?[#](#what-should-a-local-seo-audit-for-prospecting-include) Keep it to one page: where they appear for two or three money searches, their review count and rating against the top three competitors, their primary category, whether hours and website are set, and two or three specific fixes. Short and specific beats a 40-page report nobody reads. ### What does Google say affects local ranking?[#](#what-does-google-say-affects-local-ranking) Google says local results are mainly based on relevance, distance and prominence. Prominence includes how well-known a business is, and Google says more reviews and positive ratings can help a business's local ranking. ### Should I promise first-page rankings?[#](#should-i-promise-first-page-rankings) No. Distance from the searcher is a ranking factor no one controls, and Google does not accept payment for local ranking. Promise the work and the measurement, not a position. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get plumbing companies as clients: the list, the buyer, the pitch Get plumbing companies as clients: list every plumber in your area, tell service shops from new-construction ones, reach the owner at the right hour, and pitch. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To get plumbing companies as clients, list every plumber in the area you serve, separate service-and-repair shops from drain specialists and new-construction plumbers, and contact the owner early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when they aren't under a sink. Pitch one outcome a plumbing owner tracks: booked service calls, answered emergency calls, paid invoices or techs kept on the road. Plumbers are all on Google Maps, so building the list is the easy part; matching the pitch to the type of shop is what gets replies. ## What do plumbing companies buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-plumbing-companies-buy-and-who-decides) Plumbers buy marketing, software, parts and tools, trucks and fleet services, financing, insurance and staffing. At most shops the owner decides; larger shops split the job between an operations manager, a service manager and an office manager. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Owner-run shop | Larger shop | The angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Marketing, SEO, ads, websites | Owner | Owner, marketing manager | Booked service calls, not clicks | | Field service, dispatch, invoicing software | Owner | Operations manager, office manager | Faster dispatch, invoices paid on site | | Parts, fixtures, water heaters (supply houses) | Owner, lead tech | Service manager, purchasing | Stock, counter hours, delivery | | Drain cameras, jetters, tools | Owner, lead tech | Service manager | Jobs that pay back the tool | | Answering service, call handling | Owner | Office or call center manager | No missed emergency calls at night | | Fleet, fuel cards, upfitting | Owner | Operations manager | Trucks on the road, less paperwork | | Recruiting, training, insurance | Owner | Owner, HR | Keeping licensed plumbers | Know which kind of plumber you're writing to: - **Service and repair plumbers** take calls from homeowners and businesses. They care about the phone ringing and being answered, and they buy marketing, call handling and dispatch software. - **Drain, sewer and septic specialists** run jetters and cameras and often work for property managers. They buy equipment and commercial leads. - **New-construction plumbers** work for builders and general contractors. They buy through estimators, care about bids and supply pricing, and mostly ignore consumer marketing. - **Combined plumbing and HVAC shops** are common, and the Census Bureau puts both trades in one code (NAICS 238220). If you sell to both, run the [HVAC contractor list](https://leadraft.co/leads/hvac-contractors) in the same area. ## How do I build a list of plumbing companies?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-plumbing-companies) Search Google Maps with every plumbing term across your area in small pieces, dedupe, and sort the export by type and size. 1. **Use several terms.** "Plumber" is the main Maps category. Add "emergency plumber", "drain cleaning service", "sewer repair", "water heater installation", "septic system service", "gas installation service", "water softening equipment supplier" and "commercial plumbing contractor". 2. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results; a mid-size metro has more plumbers than that. Split by ZIP code or neighborhood. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates** across terms and pieces. 4. **Keep only your area.** Plumbers list service areas, and search results spill across city lines. Keep the ones inside the area you can serve. 5. **Segment:** - **category**: plumber vs drainage service vs septic vs water treatment vs combined plumbing and HVAC. - **reviews**: the most useful size signal. Hundreds of reviews usually means several trucks and an office. - **hours**: 24-hour shops buy answering services and after-hours dispatch. - **website**: no website or a dated one is a web-design lead. - **emails with role and source**: office@ and service@ beat jobs@ for most pitches. The [plumber lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/plumbers) has the full list of search terms and fields. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I pitch to a plumbing company?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-a-plumbing-company) Pitch the one problem their type of shop has every week. A generic "more leads" email reads like the twenty others they got this month. - **Service plumbers and marketing:** emergency calls are the profitable ones. Show where they appear for "emergency plumber" in their own area, and offer to fix the listing, site and call handling that turn searches into booked jobs. - **Software:** pitch dispatch, quoting on site and getting paid before the tech leaves. Target shops with enough reviews to suggest an office. - **Answering services:** target 24-hour shops from the hours column. Quote a price per answered call and the hours you cover. - **Supply houses and tool sellers:** segment by distance to your branch. Lead with counter hours, stock and delivery. For drain equipment, target drainage and sewer categories. - **Recruiting and training:** licensed plumbers are hard to hire. Lead with a filled role, not a platform. ## When is the best time to reach plumbers?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-plumbers) Early morning before the trucks leave, or late afternoon as techs finish, on Tuesday through Thursday. During the day the owner is on a job or on the phone with customers. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Window | Why | | --- | --- | | 7 to 8 a.m. | Owners are in the shop or truck, planning the day | | 3:30 to 5 p.m. | Calls are winding down, office catches up | | Tuesday to Thursday | Monday tends to carry weekend backlog | | Avoid cold snaps and big storms | Frozen pipes, burst lines and flooding fill the schedule | These are common patterns, not measured results. Email any time; owners often read in the evening. **Gatekeepers.** The office manager or dispatcher answers the main line and books service calls. Say you're not a customer and ask who handles your topic, then email that person directly. ## What should my email to a plumbing company say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-a-plumbing-company-say) Keep it under 100 words, name one true detail, and ask for a small next step. Double-brace fields are columns in the export. ``` Subject: emergency calls for {{business}} Hi there, {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, which says customers like you. I help plumbers in {{city}} book more of the after-hours and emergency calls that already search for them. I can send a one-page review of your listing and site, with three changes I'd make first.

Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For a supply house: ``` Subject: counter account for {{business}} Hi there, We're the [supply house] on [road] in {{city}}, open from 6:30 a.m., with water heaters and drain parts in stock. I'd like to open a trade account for {{business}} and send our price sheet. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` See more examples in [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses). ## How often should I follow up?[#](#how-often-should-i-follow-up) Three follow-ups over about three weeks, then rest the lead for a season. 1. **Day 1:** first email. 2. **Day 3 or 4:** one line asking whether you reached the right person. 3. **Day 10:** something useful: a listing review, a price sheet, a short case for their type of shop. 4. **Day 21:** a polite close with an offer to check back. Remove anyone who opts out at once, and keep a suppression list across campaigns. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to plumbers?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-plumbers) Commercial email in the US falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Many small plumbing shops list the owner's cell. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, which is a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: every plumber in Ohio[#](#worked-example-every-plumber-in-ohio) Ohio has 2,970 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractor establishments with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 238220). That code includes HVAC companies, and it leaves out owner-operators with no employees, so a plumbing-only Maps list will be a different size. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Assumption | Count | | --- | --- | --- | | Plumbing and HVAC contractors, Ohio | Census 2023 | 2,970 | | Plumbing list from Maps | assume about the same size, for illustration | about 3,000 | | With a checked (Verified) email | assume half | about 1,500 | | Leadraft, option A | Starter, $19 a month: 1,000 checked emails, the rest next month | $38 over two months | | Leadraft, option B | Growth, $49 a month: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails | $49 in one month | Each business is charged once ever, so the second month doesn't charge again for the plumbers you already have. Businesses outside your area or in the wrong trade are shown free, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build the list by hand, Leadraft [finds every plumber inside the area you choose](https://leadraft.co/product/discovery), with emails from each company's own website checked against the live mailbox. Try it on your area on the free plan, or see the fields on the [plumber lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/plumbers). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get plumbing companies as clients?[#](#how-do-i-get-plumbing-companies-as-clients) Build a list of every plumbing company in the area you serve, split it into service-and-repair shops, drain and sewer specialists and new-construction plumbers using their Google Maps categories and websites, and contact the owner early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Pitch one outcome they track, such as booked service calls, answered emergency calls or faster invoicing. ### Who decides what a plumbing company buys?[#](#who-decides-what-a-plumbing-company-buys) At most plumbing companies the owner decides, often while still running calls. At larger shops, an operations or general manager handles software and vendors, a service manager has a say on tools and parts, and an office manager handles the phones and billing tools. New-construction plumbers buy through estimators and project managers who work with builders. ### When is the best time to call a plumber?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-call-a-plumber) Early in the morning before the trucks roll out, or late in the afternoon when techs are wrapping up. Avoid Monday mornings, which tend to carry the weekend's backlog, and cold snaps, when frozen and burst pipes fill the schedule. These are common patterns, not measured results. ### How do I find a list of plumbers in my area?[#](#how-do-i-find-a-list-of-plumbers-in-my-area) Search Google Maps for plumber, emergency plumber, drain cleaning, sewer repair, water heater installation and septic system service in each ZIP code or neighborhood, since one search returns about 120 results. Export to a spreadsheet with phone, website, rating, reviews, hours and emails from each company's own site. ### How many plumbing companies are there in the US?[#](#how-many-plumbing-companies-are-there-in-the-us) The Census Bureau counts plumbers together with HVAC contractors under NAICS 238220: 111,207 establishments with paid employees in County Business Patterns 2023. There's no separate plumbing-only count in that table, and owner-operators with no employees aren't included. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get real estate agents as clients: brokerages vs agents, the pitch and timing Get real estate agents as clients: brokerage vs agent buying, how to list every agent and office in your market, what photographers and CRMs pitch, and scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To get real estate agents as clients, decide first whether you sell to the brokerage or to individual agents, because they buy different things. Brokerages buy office-wide tools and services; agents buy their own photography, marketing and lead generation. List every brokerage office and agent profile in your market, focus on the agents who list homes, and reach them before the spring listing season with a sample of your work. Google Maps lists both offices and many individual agents, with reviews that show who's active. ## Brokerage or agent: who buys what?[#](#brokerage-or-agent-who-buys-what) The brokerage decides on what the whole office uses; each agent decides on what they pay for themselves. Most agents work as independent contractors under a broker, so they control their own marketing budget. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Who usually buys | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | | Listing photography, video, drone, floor plans | Listing agent (sometimes the brokerage for a team) | Faster sale, more showings, turnaround time | | Home staging | Listing agent or the seller, on the agent's advice | Better first impression, time on market | | CRM, lead routing, transaction software | Brokerage for office-wide; agents and teams for their own | Follow-up speed, deals closed | | Marketing, websites, social, ads | Agent or team leader | Listings won, seller leads | | Signs, print, mailers | Agent; brokerage for branded templates | Farm area results | | Office IT, phones, cleaning, insurance | Managing broker | Reliability, cost | | Training, coaching, recruiting services | Broker-owner | Agent count and production | Teams sit in between. A team leader often buys photography, a CRM and marketing for everyone on the team, so one team relationship can be worth many agents. The market is fragmented. NAR reported 1,439,163 members as of June 18, 2026. The Census Bureau counted 163,894 real estate agent and broker offices with paid employees in 2023 and about 824,000 agent and broker businesses with no employees. That second number is mostly individual agents running their own business under a broker's license. ## Which agents should I target?[#](#which-agents-should-i-target) Target agents who list homes regularly, because they buy marketing and photography on every listing. A buyer's agent spends less on marketing per deal. On Google Maps, agents with many reviews tend to be the active ones, and the reviews often mention "sold our home". Scroll horizontally if needed → | Seller | Best targets | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Real estate photographer, videographer | Listing agents and teams near you | Every listing needs photos | | Home stager | Listing agents in higher price bands | Staging pays off most on vacant and premium homes | | CRM or transaction software | Brokerages and teams | One decision covers many agents | | Marketing agency | Teams and solo agents with steady listings | They have a budget and a farm area | | Mortgage, title, inspection, insurance | Agents who refer buyers | Referral relationships | | Cleaning, moving, junk removal | Listing agents | Pre-listing and move-out jobs | The 2024 NAR settlement changed what buyer agents worry about. Since August 17, 2024, under the settlement's practice changes, offers of buyer-agent compensation aren't shown on MLS listings and buyers sign a written agreement with their agent first. Agents now explain their value up front, so offers that help them do that, such as presentations, content and buyer-consultation tools, are timely. ## How do I build a list of real estate agents and brokerages?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-real-estate-agents-and-brokerages) Search Google Maps for every agent and brokerage term across your market, merge the results, and split offices from individual agents. 1. **Draw your market.** For photographers and stagers, the area you can drive to. For software, a metro or a state. 2. **Search several terms.** "Real estate agent", "realtor", "real estate agency", "real estate broker", "real estate brokerage", "real estate office", "real estate team", "luxury real estate agent", "commercial real estate broker". 3. **Check categories.** Google Maps categories include Real estate agency, Real estate agent, Real estate consultant and Commercial real estate agency. Agencies are usually offices; Real estate agent is often one person. 4. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results, and a metro has thousands of agents. Split by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 5. **Split offices and agents.** Group by website domain. A franchise brokerage office and its agents often share a domain; independents and solo agents usually have their own. 6. **Add property managers** if you sell services for rentals, such as photography for rental listings, cleaning or maintenance. See [property management company leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/property-management-companies). The [real estate agent lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/real-estate-agents) has the full set of terms and columns. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## How do I segment agents with the list's columns?[#](#how-do-i-segment-agents-with-the-lists-columns) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Filter | Who it's for | | --- | --- | --- | | `category` | Real estate agency vs Real estate agent | Brokerage pitch vs agent pitch | | `reviews` | High count | Active agents who list regularly | | `rating` | 4.8 and up with many reviews | Premium photography and staging | | `website` | Empty, or a brokerage template page | Personal websites and marketing | | `instagram`, `facebook` | Present | Agents who already market themselves; video and social offers | | `email` role and source | A personal address vs the office inbox | Agent pitch vs brokerage pitch | | `in_area` | True | Keeps the list to the area you serve | ## What should I pitch a real estate agent?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-a-real-estate-agent) Show your work and tie it to winning or selling listings. Agents decide quickly from what they see. - **Photographers and videographers:** a short gallery of homes in their price band, your turnaround time, and a clear per-shoot price. Offer a fair first shoot. - **Stagers:** before-and-after photos of a home like the ones they list, and how you work with sellers. - **CRMs and software:** follow-up speed and deals closed. For brokerages, recruiting and retention matter too. - **Marketing agencies:** listing presentations and seller leads in their farm area. Show one observation about their own profile or site. - **Services (cleaning, moving, junk removal):** reliability before a listing goes live, and a referral arrangement if it's allowed in your state. ## When is the best time to reach agents?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-agents) Mid-morning on weekdays, early in the week. Many agents show homes in the evenings and on weekends, and close deals at the end of the month. Seasonally, the best window for most sellers is late winter, before spring listings arrive. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Contact | Better | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Email | Monday to Wednesday, morning | Weekends | | Call | 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. | Evenings and weekends, when they're showing | | Visit the brokerage | Office or sales meetings, if the broker invites you | Unannounced | | Season | January to March | Peak closing weeks | These are common practice, not measured results, and markets differ. **Brokerages have a gatekeeper; solo agents usually don't.** At an office, ask the managing broker whether you can present at a sales meeting; that's the fastest way to meet many agents at once. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Under 100 words, a link to your work, one small ask. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{rating}}`, `{{reviews}}`. ### Email 1: real estate photographer[#](#email-1-real-estate-photographer) ``` Subject: listing photos in {{city}} Hi there, I shoot listing photos and video around {{city}}, delivered within 24 hours.

I help agents in {{city}} turn that into listing appointments with [specific tactic]. Want a two-minute video showing how it would look for you? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How many times should I follow up?[#](#how-many-times-should-i-follow-up) Three or four follow-ups over three weeks. Add a new piece of work each time, and stop when they reply or ask you to. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Day | Step | | --- | --- | | 1 | First email with your portfolio or demo | | 4 | Follow-up: one new example | | 9 | Call or text only if you have consent for texts; otherwise a short call | | 14 | Follow-up: a smaller ask | | 21 | Last note, then add to a seasonal list for January | For templates across trades, see [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses). ## What rules apply to outreach to agents?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-outreach-to-agents) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Many agents list a cell phone as their business number. The TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones, so don't text agents from a list without consent. Under RESPA, nobody may give or accept a fee or kickback for referring settlement business on a federally related mortgage loan, so get advice before offering agents anything for referrals. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: agents in Colorado[#](#worked-example-agents-in-colorado) The Census Bureau counted 7,456 real estate agent and broker offices with paid employees in Colorado in 2023 (NAICS 531210). Agents without employees aren't in that count, so a Google Maps list of offices and agent profiles will be larger. Assumptions, for illustration only: a statewide search returns about 15,000 office and agent listings after deduplication, you keep the 4,000 with 25 or more reviews as active listing agents, and you take out one checked email for most of them. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Agent and office listings in Colorado | from the search (assumed) | about 15,000 | | Business credits | one per listing, charged once ever | about 15,000 | | Active agents | 25+ reviews (assumed) | about 4,000 | | Checked emails taken out | about one per active agent | about 4,000 | | Plan | Growth: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 | A photographer covering one metro needs far less: the Starter plan at $19 a month covers 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and listings outside your area are never charged. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build agent lists by hand, Leadraft finds every agent and brokerage inside the area you choose, with reviews, social links and checked emails. Try it on the free plan, or see the columns on [the real estate agent lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/real-estate-agents). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get real estate agents as clients?[#](#how-do-i-get-real-estate-agents-as-clients) Decide whether you sell to the brokerage or to individual agents, list every brokerage office and agent profile in your market, and reach the agents who list homes regularly. Lead with what helps them win and sell listings, show your work (photos, a sample, a demo), and follow up around their busy listing season. ### Who buys at a real estate brokerage?[#](#who-buys-at-a-real-estate-brokerage) The broker-owner or managing broker decides on office-wide tools and services: transaction software, the brokerage CRM, signs, office IT and training. Individual agents usually pay for their own marketing, photography, video, staging consultations and lead generation. Teams have a team leader who buys for the team. ### How many real estate agents are there in the US?[#](#how-many-real-estate-agents-are-there-in-the-us) NAR reported 1,439,163 members as of June 18, 2026, and not every agent is a member. The Census Bureau counted 163,894 real estate agent and broker offices with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 531210), plus about 824,000 agent and broker businesses with no employees, because most agents work as independent contractors under a broker. ### How do real estate photographers get clients?[#](#how-do-real-estate-photographers-get-clients) List the active listing agents and brokerage offices in the area you can drive to, send them a short portfolio of homes like the ones they list, and offer a first shoot at a fair price with a fast turnaround. Follow up in late winter, before spring listings, and ask happy agents for introductions to their office. ### When is the best time to contact real estate agents?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-real-estate-agents) Mid-morning on weekdays, and early in the week. Many agents show homes in the evenings and on weekends. Seasonally, reach them in late winter, before the spring listing season, when they're choosing photographers, marketing and tools for the year. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get roofing companies as clients: lists, timing and what to pitch Get roofing companies as clients: list every roofer in your area, sort by size and type, reach the owner outside storm season, and pitch with tested scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To get roofing companies as clients, list every roofing contractor in the area you serve, sort them by size (review count is a good proxy) and type (residential, commercial, gutters and siding), and contact the owner when they aren't in the middle of a storm surge or peak summer. Most roofers are owner-run, so the owner is the buyer and the salesperson at once. Pitch one result they can count: inspections booked, retail jobs sold, crews kept working, or insurance claims closed faster. ## What do roofing companies buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-roofing-companies-buy-and-who-decides) Roofers buy lead sources, marketing, software, materials, equipment, financing, insurance and labor. At a small company the owner decides on all of it; at a larger one, the decision splits by department. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Small company | Larger company | The angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Marketing, SEO, ads, websites | Owner | Owner, marketing or sales manager | Inspections booked, not traffic | | Roof measurement, CRM, estimating software | Owner | GM, sales manager | Faster estimates, more signed jobs per rep | | Materials (shingles, metal, underlayment) | Owner | Production manager, purchasing | Stock, delivery to the roof, pricing | | Safety equipment and training | Owner | Safety or production manager | Fewer incidents, inspections passed | | Consumer financing | Owner | Sales manager | Closing retail replacements | | Insurance, bonding, accounting | Owner | Owner, office manager | Renewals without surprises | | Subcontract crews, staffing | Owner | Production manager | Capacity in the busy months | Roofers work in two different markets. **Retail roofers** sell repairs and replacements to homeowners who called them, and care about reviews, financing and closing rates. **Storm and insurance roofers** chase hail and wind events and care about canvassing, documentation and claim speed. Many do both. **Commercial roofers** sell to property managers and building owners, bid on specs and buy different materials. Use the Maps category and the company's own website to tell them apart before you pitch. Safety is a real buying trigger. OSHA's construction standard requires fall protection for employees on low-slope and steep roofs with unprotected edges 6 feet or more above a lower level. Safety equipment suppliers and training providers can sell to every roofer that has employees. ## How do I build a list of roofing companies?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-roofing-companies) Search Google Maps with every roofing term across your area in small pieces, remove duplicates, and segment by the columns that predict fit. 1. **Search several terms.** "Roofing contractor" is the main category, but roofers also list as "roofer", "roof repair", "commercial roofing contractor", "metal roofing contractor", "gutter cleaning service", "siding contractor" and "skylight contractor". Many exterior companies use "Construction company" or "General contractor", so add those if you sell to exterior remodelers too. 2. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search shows about 120 results. Split the metro by ZIP code or a grid. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates.** The same company shows under "roofing contractor" and "siding contractor". 4. **Keep only your territory.** Storm roofers set up temporary offices in other states after big events. If you sell locally, keep only the ones inside your area. 5. **Segment:** - **category and categories**: residential roofing vs gutters vs commercial vs general contracting. - **reviews**: a size signal. A roofer with 600 reviews runs several crews. - **rating**: owners with 4.8 and up care about protecting it; lower ratings can be a reputation-management lead. - **website**: no site or a thin template is a web-design lead. See [finding businesses without websites](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites). - **emails with role and source**: write to the office or estimates inbox, not careers. The [roofer lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/roofers) shows the fields and the search terms in one place. If you also sell to remodelers and builders, run the [general contractor list](https://leadraft.co/leads/general-contractors) in the same area and dedupe. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I pitch to a roofing company?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-a-roofing-company) Pitch a number the owner already tracks: inspections, signed contracts, crews working, or days to payment. Roofers get a lot of lead-gen offers, so a concrete, checkable claim about their own business stands out. - **Marketing agencies:** compare their review count and rating with the top three roofers in their city, then offer a plan for retail repair and replacement leads. Avoid promising storm leads you can't predict. - **Software:** pitch faster estimates and follow-up on unsigned quotes. Target companies with enough reviews to suggest several reps. - **Material suppliers:** lead with delivery to the roof, stock in the colors they install most and credit terms. - **Financing:** retail replacements are large tickets for homeowners. Offer a program the rep can present at the table. - **Safety and training:** lead with the OSHA fall protection rules above and a short on-site training option. ## When is the best time to reach roofers?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-roofers) Reach roofers in the slower season and early in the morning before crews leave, and stay away right after a big storm in their area. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that roofers may work overtime in the busy summer months, that they usually don't work in bad weather, and that winter work may be limited in northern states. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Time | What's happening | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | Late fall to winter | Fewer jobs, more planning | Pitch software, marketing, training, next year's suppliers | | Spring | Booking season starts | Pitch lead generation and staffing early | | Summer peak | Crews on roofs, long days | Short emails only; owners read at night | | The weeks after a big storm | All hands on storm work | Wait, unless you sell storm tools or crews | | Rainy days | Crews rained out | Owners and office staff are reachable by phone | These are common patterns, not measured results, and they shift by region. In warm climates roofing runs most of the year. **Gatekeepers.** At a larger company, an office manager or a scheduler answers and books inspections. Say you're a vendor, not a homeowner, and ask who handles your topic. At a small company the listed number is the owner's cell, so watch the texting rules below. ## What should my email to a roofing company say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-a-roofing-company-say) Name something true about them, offer one specific outcome and ask for a small step. Double-brace fields are columns from the export. ``` Subject: {{business}} and roof repair searches in {{city}} Hi there, {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars. I looked at who shows up first for "roof repair" in {{city}}, and [one specific thing you noticed about their listing or site]. I put together a one-page plan for local roofers: what I'd change on the site and listing to book more inspections before spring. Want me to send it? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For a supplier: ``` Subject: roof-top delivery around {{city}} Hi there, We supply [products] from our yard in [town] and deliver to the roof for crews around {{city}}, usually next day. Happy to send a price sheet and open a trade account for {{business}}. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How often should I follow up with roofers?[#](#how-often-should-i-follow-up-with-roofers) Four touches over three weeks is enough: the first email, a one-line check, something useful, and a polite close. Roofers often reply late in the evening or on rain days, so a follow-up often gets the reply the first email didn't. 1. **Day 1:** first email. 2. **Day 4:** "Is \[topic\] something you handle, or is there someone else I should ask?" 3. **Day 10:** a useful asset: a short listing review, a price sheet, a safety checklist. 4. **Day 21:** close the loop and offer to check back before next season. Respect opt-outs immediately and add them to a do-not-contact list. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to roofers?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-roofers) Commercial email in the US falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to business numbers are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Many roofers list a cell phone. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, which is a contract matter separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: every roofer in Colorado[#](#worked-example-every-roofer-in-colorado) Colorado has 920 roofing contractor establishments with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 238160). Owner-operators without employees aren't counted, so your Maps list will be somewhat larger. Plan with it anyway. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Assumption | Count | | --- | --- | --- | | Roofing contractors, Colorado | Census 2023 | 920 | | Add gutter, siding and exterior companies | assume 30% more, for illustration | about 1,200 | | With a checked (Verified) email | assume half | about 600 | | Leadraft cost | Starter: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month | $19 for the month | A whole state of roofers fits inside the Starter plan with room left over. For Texas (2,442 roofing contractors in the same Census table) with exterior companies added, you'd likely need more than 1,000 checked emails, so the Growth plan at $49 a month (100,000 businesses, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. Each business is charged once ever, roofers outside your area are shown free, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build roofer lists by hand, Leadraft [finds every roofer inside the area you choose](https://leadraft.co/product/discovery), finds emails on each company's own site and checks them against the live mailbox. Try it on the free plan, or see the fields on the [roofing contractor list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/roofers). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get roofing companies as clients?[#](#how-do-i-get-roofing-companies-as-clients) Build a list of every roofing contractor in the area you serve, sort it by review count (a size signal) and by Google Maps category (residential roofing, gutters, siding, commercial), and contact the owner in the slower months or between storm surges. Pitch one result in their terms: more inspections booked, more retail jobs, crews kept busy, or claims closed faster. ### Who decides what a roofing company buys?[#](#who-decides-what-a-roofing-company-buys) At most roofing companies the owner decides, often while also running sales. Larger companies have a general manager or operations manager for software and vendors, a production manager for materials and crews, and a sales manager for lead sources and canvassing tools. Some roofers are part of a wider exterior or general contracting company, where the owner of that company decides. ### When is the best time to contact roofers?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-roofers) Outside the busiest weeks. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that roofers may work overtime in the busy summer months and that work may be limited in winter in northern states. Late fall and winter are good for software, marketing and planning; right after a large storm, owners are too busy for anything that isn't storm work. ### How do I find a list of roofing companies?[#](#how-do-i-find-a-list-of-roofing-companies) Search Google Maps for roofing contractor, roofer, commercial roofing contractor, roof repair, gutter installation and siding contractor in each part of your area, because one search returns about 120 results. Export the results with phone, website, rating, reviews, hours and emails from each company's own website, then remove duplicates. ### How many roofing contractors are there in the US?[#](#how-many-roofing-contractors-are-there-in-the-us) County Business Patterns 2023 counts 25,519 roofing contractor establishments with paid employees (NAICS 238160). Texas, California and Florida have the most. Owner-operators with no employees aren't in that count, so a Google Maps search usually shows more. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

Segments, offers, and outreach scripts. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get social media management clients: find local businesses with weak socials on Google Maps Find local businesses that need a social media manager using Google Maps data: social links, reviews and ratings. Segments, offers, and outreach scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To get social media management clients, build a list of local businesses in trades where customers choose by what they see (restaurants, salons, gyms, med spas, boutiques), then keep the ones that are clearly busy but have no linked Instagram, Facebook or TikTok, or an account that has gone quiet. Google Maps gives you the review count, the rating and the website for every business in an area, and the social links show who is missing. Pitch each one a small, fixed-price starter offer with one specific observation about their account. ## Which local businesses need a social media manager most?[#](#which-local-businesses-need-a-social-media-manager-most) The best prospects sell something visual or experiential, get repeat or local customers, and are busy enough to have no time to post. Busy businesses also have the most to post about. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Trade | Why social matters for them | What to post | | --- | --- | --- | | [Restaurants](https://leadraft.co/leads/restaurants), cafes, bars | People pick where to eat from photos | Dishes, specials, events, staff | | [Hair salons](https://leadraft.co/leads/hair-salons), nail salons, barbers | Clients book on proof of skill | Before and after, stylists, openings | | [Med spas](https://leadraft.co/leads/med-spas), dentists (cosmetic) | High ticket, trust-driven | Results (with consent), team, FAQs | | [Gyms](https://leadraft.co/leads/gyms), yoga and fitness studios | Community and class schedules | Classes, members, challenges | | Boutiques and gift shops | New stock moves on Instagram | Arrivals, drops, local events | | Real estate agents, home builders | Listings and finished work | Listings, tours, project reveals | | Contractors with visual work (landscapers, remodelers) | Finished jobs sell the next job | Project photos, short videos | Trades where customers call in an emergency (locksmiths, plumbers) buy social less often. They need to be found, not followed, so a local SEO pitch usually fits them better. ## What signals in Google Maps data show a business needs social help?[#](#what-signals-in-google-maps-data-show-a-business-needs-social-help) The signals are the social link fields, the review count and the rating. Google Business Profile lets owners add one link each for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, X and YouTube, and most business websites link their accounts in the header or footer. If neither the listing nor the site links an account, the business is either not on that platform or not treating it as part of its marketing. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Signal | Where it comes from | What it suggests | | --- | --- | --- | | No Instagram, Facebook or TikTok link | Listing and website | No presence, or an account nobody connected | | Facebook only | Listing and website | Set up years ago, Instagram never started | | Many reviews (say 100+) | Listing | Busy, has customers to show off | | High rating (4.5+) | Listing | Happy customers, easy content | | Low rating or few reviews | Listing | A reputation problem first; pair social with review requests | | No website, Facebook in the website field | Listing | Facebook is doing a website's job | Two checks have to be done by hand, because no export has them: 1. **Last post date.** Open the account. An Instagram that last posted 14 months ago is a stronger pitch than no account at all, because the owner already tried and stalled. 2. **Whether an unlinked account exists.** Search the business name on Instagram and TikTok. A blank column only means no link was found. ## How do I sort prospects into segments?[#](#how-do-i-sort-prospects-into-segments) Sort on two things: how busy the business is (reviews) and how present it is on social. Each box gets a different pitch. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | **No linked social, or dormant** | **Active social** | | --- | --- | --- | | **Many reviews** | Best segment. "You have 240 reviews and nothing on Instagram since 2024." | Harder sell. Pitch quality or video only if their posts are clearly weak | | **Few reviews** | Smaller budget. Offer a starter plan plus review requests | Skip for now | Start with the top-left box. You can make the pitch specific, and the business can afford you. ## How do I build the list?[#](#how-do-i-build-the-list) Build it per trade and per city, then filter in a spreadsheet. 1. **Search one trade in one city**, neighborhood by neighborhood or ZIP by ZIP. A single Google Maps search stops at about 120 results, so a city-wide search misses most businesses. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 2. **Export** business, category, phone, website, rating, reviews, address, and the Facebook, Instagram and TikTok links. 3. **Filter to busy businesses.** If reviews are in column F: `=F2>=100`. 4. **Flag missing socials.** If Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are in columns H, I and J: `=COUNTA(H2:J2)=0` finds businesses with none linked, and `=AND(H2<>"", I2="")` finds Facebook-only. 5. **Check the shortlist by hand**: last post date, an unlinked account, follower count. 6. **Write one observation per business** in a new column. It becomes the first line of your message. ## Which platforms should I offer?[#](#which-platforms-should-i-offer) Offer Facebook and Instagram first, and TikTok where the customers are younger or the work is visual. Pew Research Center's 2025 survey of US adults found 84% use YouTube, 71% Facebook, 50% Instagram and 37% TikTok. Facebook still reaches older local customers, Instagram is where people check out a salon or restaurant, and TikTok rewards short video that many small businesses can't make themselves. For most local clients, one platform done well beats three done badly. Start with the one their customers use, and add a second when the first is running. ## What should I offer a local business?[#](#what-should-i-offer-a-local-business) Offer a small, defined package at a fixed monthly price, with a short first commitment. Small business owners want a predictable bill and a quick sign that it works. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Package | What's included | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | | Starter | One platform, 2–3 posts a week from photos they send, monthly report | No social or dormant accounts | | Content day | One visit a month to shoot photos and short videos, a month of posts | Businesses that can't supply photos | | Reviews to posts | Turn top Google reviews into posts, plus a review-request card or QR code | Busy businesses with strong ratings | | Profile cleanup | Bio, links, highlights, Google Business Profile social links | A one-off foot in the door | Set prices from your market. Check what two or three local competitors charge, and keep the starter low enough that an owner can say yes without a meeting. ## What should my outreach say?[#](#what-should-my-outreach-say) Lead with one true observation about their account, then a small next step. Don't call their account bad; describe what you saw. ### Email: busy business, dormant Instagram[#](#email-busy-business-dormant-instagram) ``` Subject: {{business}} on Instagram Hi there, I was looking at {{category}} spots in {{city}} and found {{business}}: {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, which is better than most. Your Instagram's last post was in {{last_post_month}}, though, so people who look you up there don't see any of that. I run Instagram for local {{category}} businesses. You send photos (or I come by once a month), and I post three times a week. Fixed price, month to month. Want me to mock up your next three posts so you can see what it would look like? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email: no social linked[#](#email-no-social-linked) ``` Subject: Quick one about {{business}}'s Google listing Hi there, Your Google listing for {{business}} doesn't link to any social accounts, so people who find you on Maps can't see your recent work. Google lets you add Instagram, Facebook and TikTok links right on the listing. I can set that up for free, and if you'd like, run one account for you after that. Worth a 10-minute call? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` The free fix in the second email is real work you can do in minutes, and it starts a conversation. Use `{{last_post_month}}` only after you've checked the account yourself. More templates are in [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses). ### DMs and walk-ins[#](#dms-and-walk-ins) For businesses active on a platform but with no email, send a short DM that mentions a specific post. Keep volume low and personal: platforms restrict accounts that send many unsolicited messages. For restaurants and salons in your own city, walking in at a quiet time with a printed mockup of three posts often works better than any message. ## How many businesses should I contact to land a client?[#](#how-many-businesses-should-i-contact-to-land-a-client) Contact enough to learn which segment works, then let your own numbers decide. An illustration, with invented rates: list 400 salons and restaurants in one metro, keep 150 that have 100+ reviews and no active Instagram, and email all 150. If 4% reply with interest, that's six conversations, and if one in three signs, two clients. Track sends, replies, calls and clients per segment, and drop segments that don't convert. If the busy-but-dormant box doesn't convert in your market, try [businesses with low Google reviews](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-with-low-google-reviews) with a reviews-plus-social offer. ## What rules apply to cold outreach?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach) In the US, CAN-SPAM covers commercial email, including email to businesses: accurate sender details, an honest subject line, your postal address, and an opt-out you honor within 10 business days. Canada (CASL) and the UK (PECR and UK GDPR) are stricter, especially for sole traders. Google's Maps terms restrict scraping Maps content and building lead lists from it, which is a contract matter separate from email law. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. If you'd rather not build the list by hand, Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside the area you choose, with the social, review and website columns above, and checks each email it finds against the live mail server. See how it works [for agencies](https://leadraft.co/solutions/agencies), or try it on your city on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I find my first social media management client?[#](#how-do-i-find-my-first-social-media-management-client) Pick one trade in one city where customers choose by looking at photos, such as restaurants, salons, gyms or med spas. List every business in that trade, keep the ones with plenty of reviews but no linked Instagram or a dormant one, and contact 50 to 100 of them with one specific observation about their account and a small fixed-price starter offer. ### How can I tell if a business needs social media help?[#](#how-can-i-tell-if-a-business-needs-social-media-help) Check three things: whether its Google listing or website links to Instagram, Facebook or TikTok at all, when it last posted, and whether its review count is high. A busy business with happy customers and a silent or missing account is the strongest prospect, because there is already something worth posting about. ### Does a blank Instagram column mean the business has no Instagram?[#](#does-a-blank-instagram-column-mean-the-business-has-no-instagram) No. It means no link was found on the listing or website. Many businesses have an account they never linked. Search the business name on Instagram before you pitch, and change the pitch to "connect and use your account" if one exists. ### Is it better to cold email or DM local businesses for social media management?[#](#is-it-better-to-cold-email-or-dm-local-businesses-for-social-media-management) Use both for different segments. Email works when you have an address from the business's own website and want to send a short, specific note at volume. A DM works when the business is active on the platform but has no findable email. Keep DMs personal and low volume, since platforms limit unsolicited messages. ### Which platforms should a local business be on?[#](#which-platforms-should-a-local-business-be-on) Usually Facebook and Instagram first, because most US adults use them: Pew Research Center found 71% use Facebook and 50% use Instagram in 2025, against 37% for TikTok. Add TikTok for businesses with a younger customer base or visual work, such as restaurants, salons and gyms. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get stores to sell your product: find retailers, price wholesale, pitch buyers Get stores to sell your product: list independent retailers by category, find the buyer, set wholesale terms, send samples, use Faire and trade shows. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook To get stores to sell your product, list the independent shops whose customers already buy things like yours (gift shops, boutiques, specialty grocers, pet stores, salons), find the owner or buyer, and send a short pitch with your line sheet, a wholesale price around half of retail and an offer of samples. Then follow up in person. Independent stores decide quickly and locally, so they are where most new brands get their first accounts; chains and big grocers come later, usually through a buyer and a formal process. ## Which stores should I target first?[#](#which-stores-should-i-target-first) Target independent stores in categories where your product is an obvious fit, inside an area you can visit and restock. A shop owner who already sells three candle brands understands candles; one who has never stocked food won't take your hot sauce. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Your product | Store types to search | Why they buy | | --- | --- | --- | | Gifts, candles, home goods | "gift shop", "boutique", "home goods store", "florist" | Constant need for new, local items | | Packaged food, snacks, sauces | "specialty food store", "grocery co-op", "cheese shop", "deli", "coffee shop" | Local-made sells well; quick reorders | | Beauty and skincare | "hair salon", "nail salon", "day spa", "med spa", "boutique" | Retail shelves at the front desk | | Pet products | "pet store", "pet groomer", "veterinarian" | Owners trust the shop's picks | | Apparel and accessories | "clothing boutique", "gift shop", "museum shop" | Small runs, frequent changeover | | Fitness and wellness | "gym", "yoga studio", "health food store" | Members buy at the desk | | Outdoor and bike | "bike shop", "outdoor store", "running store" | Specialty buyers who test products | Avoid starting with big chains. They usually buy through category managers on set review cycles, ask for proof of sales elsewhere, and may expect fees, promotions or minimum volumes you can't support yet. ## How do I find independent stores by category on Google Maps?[#](#how-do-i-find-independent-stores-by-category-on-google-maps) Search each store type from the table in each target area and put every result in one spreadsheet. Google Maps lists independent shops alongside chains, with phone, website and hours. 1. **Pick your first market.** One metro or a few ZIP codes you can drive to. You'll want to drop off samples and restock. 2. **Search each store type** separately: "gift shop", "boutique" and "home goods store" return different businesses. 3. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows only about 120 results. Split a metro by neighborhood or ZIP code, or the list will be missing most shops. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Remove chains.** Filter out names that appear many times, and branded franchise locations. Independent shops are the ones that can say yes this week. 5. **Rank by fit.** Open each store's website or Instagram. Do they stock similar products at a similar price? Are they in a high-traffic shopping street? Reviews that mention "great gifts" or "local makers" are a good sign. 6. **Find the contact.** Independent shops often list an email on their website, sometimes a "wholesale" or "vendors" page that tells you exactly how they want to be pitched. Follow it. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) ## What wholesale price and terms should I offer?[#](#what-wholesale-price-and-terms-should-i-offer) Set a wholesale price that lets the store roughly double it, and keep your terms simple. Shopify describes keystone pricing as the common shortcut: the retail price is double the wholesale price, so wholesale is about 50% of retail. Put these on one page, your line sheet (the product list a retailer orders from): - **Wholesale price and suggested retail price (MSRP)** for each item. - **Minimum order.** A low opening minimum makes it easy to say yes; a slightly higher reorder minimum keeps shipping worthwhile. - **Case pack.** How many units per item they must order (for example, packs of 6). - **Payment terms.** Prepaid, card on order, or net 30 for established accounts. - **Lead time and shipping.** How fast you ship and who pays. - **Returns and damaged goods.** What you'll replace. ### Worked example: does keystone work for your product?[#](#worked-example-does-keystone-work-for-your-product) Assumptions, for illustration only: a candle with a suggested retail price of $24, product cost $5.50, packaging and shipping to the store $1.80 per unit. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Line | Direct to store | Through a marketplace with 15% commission | | --- | --- | --- | | Retail price | $24.00 | $24.00 | | Wholesale price (keystone, 50%) | $12.00 | $12.00 | | Commission | $0 | $1.80 (15% of $12.00) | | Product cost | $5.50 | $5.50 | | Packaging and shipping | $1.80 | $1.80 | | Your margin per unit | $4.70 | $2.90 | | Margin as % of wholesale | 39% | 24% | If an opening order is 24 candles, that's $112.80 margin direct or $69.60 through the marketplace. Run the same table with your own numbers before you quote a wholesale price. If the margin is thin at keystone, the fix is a lower product cost or a higher retail price, not a wholesale price the store can't double. ## Should I use Faire, trade shows or direct outreach?[#](#should-i-use-faire-trade-shows-or-direct-outreach) Use direct outreach for your first local accounts, and add Faire or trade shows once you have product, photos and pricing settled. They reach different buyers. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Channel | How it works | Costs (as of November 2026) | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Direct outreach | You find and pitch the store yourself | Your time, samples, shipping | First 10 to 30 local accounts | | Faire | Wholesale marketplace; retailers browse and order | 15% commission on standard marketplace orders per Faire's brand help; 0% on qualifying Faire Direct orders from retailers you bring | Reaching shops outside your area; offering retailers payment terms | | Trade shows | Buyers walk the floor and place orders | Booth fees, travel, display | Meeting many buyers at once once you're ready to fulfill | Faire lets retailers buy on net 60 terms, meaning they pay 60 days later, while Faire pays the brand. That's a real advantage for a small shop taking a chance on a new brand. Check Faire's current brand terms before you rely on these numbers. Trade shows for independent retail include NY NOW for gift and home and Natural Products Expo West for natural food, beauty and supplements. Walk a show as a visitor first to see which buyers attend before paying for a booth. ## How do I pitch a store owner or buyer?[#](#how-do-i-pitch-a-store-owner-or-buyer) Send a short email with one photo, your wholesale price and an offer of samples, then follow up with a call or visit outside busy hours. Mention why their shop specifically. ### Email: first pitch[#](#email-first-pitch) ``` Subject: local {{product type}} for {{business}} Hi there, I make {{product}} here in {{city}}. I've been in {{business}} and think it would sit well next to what you already carry. Line sheet attached: wholesale ${{wholesale}}, suggested retail ${{msrp}}, opening minimum {{minimum}} units. Happy to drop off samples this week so you can see them in person. Would Tuesday or Thursday afternoon work? [Name] · [Brand] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Follow-up after samples[#](#follow-up-after-samples) ``` Subject: re: {{product}} samples Hi there, Following up on the samples I left on {{date}}. If it helps, I can start you with a smaller opening order and replace anything that doesn't sell in the first 60 days. Want me to put together a starter order? [Name] · [Brand] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` Only offer a sell-through guarantee if you can afford it, and put it in writing. Visit on weekday mornings or mid-afternoon, never on a busy Saturday. Ask for the owner by role ("Who decides on new products?") and leave samples with your price list and a card if they're out. ## What about grocery stores and chains?[#](#what-about-grocery-stores-and-chains) Grocery has its own process. Larger grocers usually buy through category managers, often after you're already selling in independents, and some charge slotting allowances to place new products. The FTC's 2003 staff study of slotting allowances found that whether they're paid and how large they are varies widely by product category, and that they were less common for products delivered directly to stores. Independent grocers, co-ops and specialty food shops are the usual first step. ## What rules apply when you pitch stores?[#](#what-rules-apply-when-you-pitch-stores) In the US, commercial email to businesses falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender details and subject line, a postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Canada and the UK are stricter. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, which is a contract issue separate from email law. Get legal advice for your situation; [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) covers the basics. If you'd rather not search store by store, Leadraft finds every shop of the types you choose in the area you draw, with checked emails, phone numbers and social links. You can see a free masked preview of an area before paying, and start on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing). Sample exports for [coffee shops](https://leadraft.co/leads/coffee-shops), [hair salons](https://leadraft.co/leads/hair-salons) and [veterinarians](https://leadraft.co/leads/veterinarians) show what a store list looks like. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I get my product into local stores?[#](#how-do-i-get-my-product-into-local-stores) Make a list of independent stores whose customers already buy products like yours, find the owner or buyer, and send a short email with your line sheet, wholesale price and an offer of samples. Follow up by phone or with a visit outside busy hours. Start with a small local area so you can deliver, restock and visit. ### What wholesale price should I charge retailers?[#](#what-wholesale-price-should-i-charge-retailers) A common starting point is keystone pricing: the wholesale price is about half the suggested retail price, so the store doubles it. Check that the wholesale price still covers your product cost, packaging, shipping and any marketplace commission with a margin left over. If it doesn't, the product or the retail price needs to change. ### Who do I contact at a store about stocking my product?[#](#who-do-i-contact-at-a-store-about-stocking-my-product) At an independent store, the owner, who is usually also the buyer. At a small chain, the buyer or purchasing manager for your category. At a big chain or grocer, a category manager, often through a vendor or supplier portal. Ask the store staff who handles new products and when they're in. ### Should I sell to stores through Faire or directly?[#](#should-i-sell-to-stores-through-faire-or-directly) Both can work. Faire gives retailers payment terms and lets them find you, and charges brands a commission on marketplace orders (15% on standard marketplace orders as of November 2026, per Faire's brand help). Orders from retailers you bring yourself through a Faire Direct link can carry no commission. Selling directly keeps the full wholesale price but you handle invoicing and collection. ### Do grocery stores charge to stock new products?[#](#do-grocery-stores-charge-to-stock-new-products) Some do. Slotting allowances, fees a supplier pays a retailer to place a new product, exist in grocery. The FTC's study of them found that whether fees are paid, and how large they are, varies widely by product category. Independent grocers and co-ops are often easier first accounts than large chains. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get web design clients from Google Maps Find local businesses with no website or an outdated one on Google Maps, check them in a spreadsheet, choose an offer, price it and reach out with scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To get web design clients from Google Maps, search a trade in a city, list the businesses whose listing has no website, points to a Facebook page, or links to an old or insecure site, then contact them with one specific improvement and a fixed price. The listings are public and current, so you can see the problem before you pitch. The work is in qualifying: many businesses without a website are tiny or closing, so check they're active and that one new customer would pay for the site. ## Which businesses need a website the most?[#](#which-businesses-need-a-website-the-most) The best prospects are established, active businesses in high-value trades whose web presence is missing or clearly behind their competitors. A roofer with 80 reviews and no website loses jobs every week to the roofer with one. A hobby business with three reviews probably won't pay you. Look for these four signals on the Google Maps listing: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Signal | How to spot it | What it tells you | | --- | --- | --- | | No website | The listing has no website link | Easiest pitch, but check the business is active | | Facebook-only | The website link goes to facebook.com | They know they need a web presence and settled for a free one | | http:// only | The site doesn't load over https:// | Chrome is moving to asking users before it opens public sites without HTTPS | | Old copyright year | The footer says © 2017 or similar | The site probably hasn't been touched in years | The HTTPS point matters more in 2026 than before. Google announced that Chrome 154, scheduled for October 2026, turns on "Always Use Secure Connections" for public sites by default, which means Chrome asks the user's permission before the first visit to a public site without HTTPS. A business whose site triggers that warning is losing visitors before they see a page. Other things worth noting when you open the site: it isn't mobile-friendly, there's no click-to-call phone number, there's no booking or quote form, or the hours on the site disagree with the hours on Maps. ## How do I find these businesses on Google Maps?[#](#how-do-i-find-these-businesses-on-google-maps) Export every business in your trade and area from Google Maps, then filter the website column: blanks are the no-website segment, and links to facebook.com are Facebook-only. The full method, with the spreadsheet formulas, the "does it still operate" check and how to reach businesses with no email, is in [how to find businesses without a website](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-businesses-without-websites). Two filters matter more for web design than for anyone else: - **http-only links**, with `=LEFT(F2, 7)="http://"` if the website is in column F. Treat it as a hint, not proof: many sites redirect to https, so open each one. - **Old copyright years**, checked by hand on the shortlist. There's no reliable shortcut. Whatever you filter, start from the whole area. One search stops after roughly 120 results, so search a trade per neighborhood or ZIP code ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) ## What should I offer a business without a website?[#](#what-should-i-offer-a-business-without-a-website) Offer a specific outcome for their trade, not "a website". The angle depends on the segment: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Segment | Offer angle | Example line | | --- | --- | --- | | No website, many reviews | Turn reviews into a site that ranks and converts | "You have 94 reviews and no site. People who find you on Maps have nowhere to go next." | | Facebook-only | A real site that keeps Facebook as a channel | "Your Facebook page is doing the work of a website. A one-page site would let Google show your services too." | | Not secure (http) | Fix the warning, then improve the site | "Chrome can warn people before opening your site. That's a quick fix, and I can do more while I'm in there." | | Old site on a builder | Rebuild for mobile and booking | "Your site is on Wix and from 2018. Most of your customers are on phones now." | | Low rating, few reviews | A site plus a review-request flow | "A site and a simple way to ask happy customers for reviews." | Keep the claim modest and true. You've seen their listing; you don't know their revenue. ## How much should I charge for a small business website?[#](#how-much-should-i-charge-for-a-small-business-website) Charge a fixed price for a defined scope, and add a monthly plan for hosting and changes. Small business owners want to know the total before they agree to a call, and fixed pricing removes the biggest objection. A simple structure: - **Starter site.** A one-to-five page site: services, area served, reviews, contact form, click-to-call. Fixed price, fixed timeline. - **Care plan.** Hosting, SSL, backups, small edits each month. Recurring revenue for you, no surprise bills for them. - **Add-ons.** Online booking, extra service pages, Google Business Profile cleanup. Set the numbers from your market, not from a blog post. Check what three local competitors charge, and price so that one or two new customers a year cover the client's cost. That is the argument you'll make on the call. ## What should my outreach say? Three scripts[#](#what-should-my-outreach-say-three-scripts) All three scripts use fields from a Maps export: `{{business}}`, `{{category}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{reviews}}`, `{{rating}}`. Maps doesn't list owner names, so don't guess one. ### Email: no website, strong reviews[#](#email-no-website-strong-reviews) ``` Subject: {{business}} website Hi there, I found {{business}} on Google Maps while looking at {{category}} businesses in {{city}}. {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars is better than most, but there's no website on the listing, so anyone who wants to see your work or prices has nowhere to go. I build simple sites for {{category}} businesses: services, areas you cover, your reviews, and a quote form. Fixed price, live in two weeks. Want me to send a quick mockup of what yours could look like? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email: site isn't secure[#](#email-site-isnt-secure) ``` Subject: Chrome warning on {{business}}'s site Hi there, When I opened your website from your Google listing, it loaded without https. Newer versions of Chrome ask visitors for permission before opening sites like that, so some people never see your page. It's usually a quick fix. I can sort that out and, if you'd like, show you two or three changes that would help more people call you. Worth a 10-minute call this week? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` Before you send this one, open the site in Chrome yourself and confirm the warning appears. ### Phone: no website, no email[#](#phone-no-website-no-email) ``` "Hi, is this {{business}}? My name is [Name], I build websites for {{category}} businesses in {{city}}. I noticed you don't have a website on your Google listing. Is that something you've thought about, or do you get enough work from referrals?" ``` That last question matters. Some businesses are fully booked and don't want more work. Find out early, thank them, and move on. ## What are other ways to get web design clients?[#](#what-are-other-ways-to-get-web-design-clients) Prospecting from Google Maps is the most direct route to local businesses, but it works best alongside a few slower channels: - **Referrals from past clients.** Ask every happy client for one introduction, at handover, when they're most pleased. A local business owner usually knows a dozen others. - **Subcontracting for agencies.** Marketing and SEO agencies often sell websites they don't build. Offer white-label builds at a set price. - **Partners who meet new businesses first.** Accountants, sign makers, printers and commercial landlords talk to owners at the moment they need a site. - **Freelance marketplaces.** Upwork, Fiverr and Contra bring inbound work, at lower prices and with more competition. Useful for building a portfolio. - **Your own portfolio and local SEO.** A site that ranks for "web designer in \[city\]" and shows local work brings inbound leads over time. - **Local groups.** Chambers of commerce, BNI chapters and trade association meetings, where you can show a mockup in person. For a ranked comparison of these channels for agencies, see [how to get leads for a marketing agency](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-leads-for-marketing-agency). ## How many businesses should I contact to land a client?[#](#how-many-businesses-should-i-contact-to-land-a-client) Contact enough to learn from, then let your own numbers decide. As an illustration only: if you contact 300 businesses in one trade and 2% reply with interest, that's six conversations; if one in three becomes a client, that's two projects. All three rates are assumptions. Track sends, replies, calls and clients per segment, and drop segments that don't convert. Our [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) has a full worked funnel. ## What rules apply to cold outreach for web design?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-for-web-design) In the US, CAN-SPAM covers commercial email, including email to businesses. You need accurate sender details, a subject line that matches the message, your postal address and a working opt-out that you honor within 10 business days. Canada (CASL) and the UK (PECR and UK GDPR) are stricter, especially for sole traders. Also note that Google's Maps Platform terms forbid exporting or scraping Maps content, which is a contract matter separate from email law. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. If you'd rather not build the list by hand, Leadraft finds every business of a trade in the area you choose, with the website and platform columns above, and checks the emails it finds against the live mail server. You can try it on your own market on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing), or read how it works for [agencies](https://leadraft.co/solutions/agencies). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I find businesses that need a website?[#](#how-do-i-find-businesses-that-need-a-website) Search Google Maps for a trade in a city and look at each listing's website field. No website, a Facebook page in the website field, a site that only loads over http://, or a footer copyright several years old are the four quickest signals. Export the results and filter the website column in a spreadsheet to do it at scale. ### Are businesses without websites good web design leads?[#](#are-businesses-without-websites-good-web-design-leads) Some are. Many are very small or about to close. Check they still operate (recent reviews, hours listed, phone answers) and prefer trades where one new customer pays for the site, such as roofers, HVAC, dentists or lawyers. ### How do I contact a business that has no website or email?[#](#how-do-i-contact-a-business-that-has-no-website-or-email) Call during quiet hours, message their Facebook or Instagram page, or visit in person. Businesses with no website usually have no findable email either, so plan phone and in-person outreach for that segment. ### How much should I charge a small local business for a website?[#](#how-much-should-i-charge-a-small-local-business-for-a-website) Price by outcome and scope rather than hours. Many freelancers offer a fixed-price starter site plus a monthly care plan for hosting, updates and small edits, which gives the client a predictable cost and you recurring revenue. Check what competitors in your area charge before you set numbers. ### Is cold email allowed for selling web design?[#](#is-cold-email-allowed-for-selling-web-design) In the US, yes, if you follow CAN-SPAM: honest headers and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Canada and the UK have stricter rules. Get legal advice for your situation. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to scrape Google Maps without code, with Python or with an API (4 methods compared) Four ways to get business data out of Google Maps, step by step: a no-code extension, Python and the Places API, a scraping API, and a lead tool, with costs. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 12 min Category Guide There are four practical ways to scrape Google Maps: a no-code browser extension, your own code (Python), a ready-made scraping API, or a lead tool that also finds and verifies emails. The extension is fastest for a few hundred rows. Code gives you control but you inherit blocking, the per-search result cap and maintenance. A scraping API removes the blocking problem. A lead tool such as Leadraft (which we make) is the shortest path if the goal is a list of local businesses you can email. Whichever method you use, one search stops at about 120 results, so covering a whole city means searching it in tiles. _Last checked: November 3, 2026. Prices and API limits below come from the linked vendor and Google pages on the dates in the Sources._ Before you start, two facts apply to every method. First, Google's terms prohibit scraping Google Maps, so read our [honest legal guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) before you run anything at scale. Second, Google Maps listings have no email field. Any method that ends with emails has to visit each business's website. ## How do the four methods compare?[#](#how-do-the-four-methods-compare) Scroll horizontally if needed → | | 1\. No-code extension | 2\. Python (your code) | 3\. Scraping API | 4\. Lead tool | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Skill needed | None | Developer | Light coding or none | None | | Setup time | Minutes | Days | An hour | Minutes | | Results per search | About 120 (what you scroll) | 60 per query via Places API; about 120 via browser | Vendor handles paging; some tile for you | Tiles for you | | Covers a whole city | Only by hand, area by area | If you build tiling | Some do, check | Yes, if it tiles | | Emails | Rarely | Build it yourself | Usually an add-on | Usually included | | Email verification | No | Build it or buy it | Add-on | Included in some | | Blocking risk | Your browser and IP | High for browser code; none for the API | The vendor's problem | The vendor's problem | | Maintenance | Vendor updates the extension | You fix it when Google changes | Vendor | Vendor | | Typical cost | Free to about $39/month | API fees or proxies, plus your time | About $1.50 to $3 per 1,000 rows (as of Oct 2026) | Subscription | ## Method 1: How do I scrape Google Maps without code?[#](#method-1-how-do-i-scrape-google-maps-without-code) Use a browser extension or a hosted no-code tool: search in Google Maps, let the tool read the results panel, and export a CSV. It works for one-off lists of a few hundred businesses. 1. **Install an extension** that reads Google Maps results. Generic table scrapers such as Instant Data Scraper work on the results list; Maps-specific extensions such as G Maps Extractor are built around listing fields. 2. **Search the way a customer would:** "plumber in Tulsa, OK". Zoom the map to the area you care about first, since results follow the map view. 3. **Scroll the results panel to the end.** Most extensions only capture what the panel loads. The list ends at around 120 results. 4. **Export to CSV**, then open it in Excel or Google Sheets. 5. **Repeat for each neighborhood or ZIP code** and each keyword variant ("plumbing contractor", "drain cleaning service"), then merge the files and remove duplicates. Our guide to [exporting Google Maps to Excel and Sheets](https://leadraft.co/blog/export-google-maps-to-excel) has the cleanup formulas. **Where it breaks:** the work runs in your browser on your IP, so large runs get slow and can trigger Google's rate limits or CAPTCHAs. You get what's on the listing, so no emails unless the tool crawls websites. And covering a city means doing steps 2 to 5 dozens of times. ## Method 2: How do I scrape Google Maps with Python?[#](#method-2-how-do-i-scrape-google-maps-with-python) There are two routes. You can automate a real browser (Playwright or Selenium) to search Maps, scroll and parse each listing. Or you can call Google's official Places API, which returns structured JSON for a fee. The browser route is what most tutorials show. The API route is the one that keeps working. ### The browser-automation route, and its problems[#](#the-browser-automation-route-and-its-problems) The approach is simple to describe: open `google.com/maps`, type a query, scroll the results feed until it stops loading, open each listing, read the fields, save rows. In practice you take on three problems. - **Blocking.** At volume, Google serves CAPTCHAs and blocks. Getting past that means rotating residential proxies, pacing requests and handling consent screens per country. Many scraping tutorials are published by proxy vendors for this reason. - **The result cap.** Scrolling stops at about 120 results per search, so you also have to build tiling: split the area into a grid, search each cell at a tight zoom, subdivide dense cells, and dedupe by place ID. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) - **Maintenance.** Google changes the page without notice. In February 2026, for example, signed-out users were briefly shown a "limited view" of Maps without most reviews and photos, which was reported and then reverted within about two weeks ([9to5Google](https://9to5google.com/2026/02/23/google-maps-limited-view-signed-out/)). A scraper tied to the page breaks every time something like that happens. Browser scraping is also the method Google's terms most directly prohibit. The official API is the more stable route for code, with trade-offs covered below. ### The Places API route (with a short example)[#](#the-places-api-route-with-a-short-example) The Places API (New) Text Search endpoint takes a query like "dentist in Tucson" and returns up to 20 places per page and up to 60 across pages ([Google](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/text-search)). You choose the fields with a field mask, and the fields you choose set the price. 1. Create a Google Cloud project, enable Places API (New), turn on billing and create an API key. 2. Decide on fields. Website, phone and rating are Enterprise-tier fields; name, address, location and types are Pro. 3. Send the request, follow `nextPageToken` up to the 60-result limit, and dedupe on the place `id`. This is an illustrative sketch, not production code: ```python import requests API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY" URL = "https://places.googleapis.com/v1/places:searchText" FIELDS = ",".join([ "places.id", "places.displayName", "places.formattedAddress", "places.location", "places.primaryType", "places.nationalPhoneNumber", "places.websiteUri", # Enterprise-tier fields "places.rating", "places.userRatingCount", "nextPageToken", ]) def text_search(query, rect=None): """Yield up to 60 places for one query (Google's per-query cap).""" body = {"textQuery": query, "pageSize": 20} if rect: # restrict to one tile: {"low": {...}, "high": {...}} body["locationRestriction"] = {"rectangle": rect} headers = {"X-Goog-Api-Key": API_KEY, "X-Goog-FieldMask": FIELDS} while True: data = requests.post(URL, json=body, headers=headers, timeout=30).json() yield from data.get("places", []) token = data.get("nextPageToken") if not token: break body["pageToken"] = token # all other parameters must stay the same seen = {} for place in text_search("dentist in Tucson, AZ"): seen[place["id"]] = place # dedupe on place ID print(len(seen), "unique places") ``` To cover a city, you call `text_search` once per tile (a small rectangle) and per keyword variant, and merge into `seen`. **Where it breaks:** - **Cost per request.** Requesting website or phone bills Text Search at the Enterprise rate: $35 per 1,000 requests after 1,000 free each month, as of October 2026 ([Google pricing](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/pricing)). Each request returns at most 20 places, and sparse tiles return fewer. Our [Places API cost breakdown](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-places-api-vs-scraping) works through 10,000 businesses. - **No emails.** The API has no email field. You'd still need to crawl each website and verify what you find. - **Storage rules.** The Maps Platform terms say you may not "copy and save business names, addresses, or user reviews" outside the services. Place IDs may be cached; latitude and longitude only for 30 days. That rules out using the API to build a lead database you keep. ## Method 3: How do I scrape Google Maps with a scraping API?[#](#method-3-how-do-i-scrape-google-maps-with-a-scraping-api) Use a hosted Google Maps data service: you send a query (or a list of queries and areas) to the vendor's API or web app, and it returns structured rows. The vendor handles proxies, blocking and page changes. Examples include Apify's Google Maps Scraper actor, Outscraper, SerpApi's Google Maps API and Bright Data. 1. **Create an account** and pick the Google Maps product. 2. **Enter queries and locations.** Some accept a polygon or coordinates and split the area for you; check whether yours does, or you'll get about 120 per query. 3. **Pick add-ons:** contact details (emails and socials from websites), reviews, verification. Each is usually priced separately. 4. **Run, then download** JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results over the API. 5. **Clean the output:** dedupe on place ID, drop out-of-area and wrong-trade rows, and match emails to businesses. As of October 2026, Apify's actor lists "from $1.50 / 1,000 scraped places" with add-ons on top, Outscraper charges $3 per 1,000 after the first 500 and $1 per 1,000 above 100,000, and Bright Data lists $1.50 per 1,000 records pay as you go. These services return raw rows at volume; deduping, filtering and email checking are left to you. **Where it breaks:** billing is usually per row returned, so duplicates from overlapping searches and rows outside your area cost the same as good ones. Emails and verification are extras with their own pricing, and you're still responsible for how you use the data under Google's terms. ## Method 4: How do I get Google Maps leads with a lead tool?[#](#method-4-how-do-i-get-google-maps-leads-with-a-lead-tool) Use a tool built for the end result, a list of businesses you can contact: you describe the trade and the area, it covers the area, filters the results, finds emails on each business's website and verifies them. This is the shortest path for agencies, cold-email operators and local sales teams. 1. **Describe the market:** the trade ("dentist", plus variants like "cosmetic dentist" and "orthodontist") and the place (a city, county or ZIP, or a shape you draw). 2. **Choose the scope:** only businesses inside the area, or inside plus a margin. 3. **Preview** what's there before paying, if the tool allows it. 4. **Run.** The tool tiles the area past the result cap, dedupes by place ID, finds emails and grades them. 5. **Export** to CSV or Excel, or push straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. **Where it breaks:** you get fewer raw fields than a developer-oriented scraper (often no review text or photos), and you depend on the vendor's coverage method. Check how they bill: per business, per row or per email. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## Which method should I use?[#](#which-method-should-i-use) For a list of local businesses you'll email or call, use a lead tool, and Leadraft is built for exactly that job: it tiles the area past the result cap, keeps only businesses inside your area and trade, finds emails on each business's own website and checks every one against the mail server. You pay once per business, ever, and out-of-area results aren't charged. The free plan covers 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month; Growth is $49 a month for 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Situation | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | Under 200 businesses, once | Free plan: 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, no card | | A whole city, county or drawn territory | Searches it in tiles and dedupes by place ID, on every plan | | A list you'll email or call | Emails from each business's website, graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid, pushed to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot | | New businesses every month | A monitor re-runs the search and delivers only new businesses | | An app feature that shows places live on a map | Not what Leadraft does | | Full review text and photos for analysis | Not what Leadraft does | Whatever method you use, the quality checks are the same: count unique businesses against one manual search, count rows outside your area, and look at how many emails are verified rather than just "found".

(troubleshooting)[#](#why-does-my-google-maps-scrape-stop-early-or-miss-data-troubleshooting) Most problems come from the same few limits. Find the symptom, then the fix. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Symptom | Likely cause | Fix | | --- | --- | --- | | Stops at about 120 results | One Maps search only loads about 120 listings, whatever tool reads it | Split the area into tiles and search each; add keyword variants; dedupe by place ID ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)) | | Only 20 results | Only the first page loaded. The Places API returns 20 per page; the Maps panel loads more as you scroll | Follow `nextPageToken` (up to 60 per query), or scroll the panel to "You've reached the end of the list" | | Stops at exactly 60 | The Places API Text Search cap: "a maximum of 60 results across all pages" | Smaller areas with `locationRestriction`, one query per tile | | Results from outside your area | `locationBias` (or a loose map view) prefers an area but doesn't enforce it | Use `locationRestriction` in the API, and drop rows whose coordinates fall outside your boundary | | Only 5 reviews per place from the API | Google's Place resource returns "a maximum of 5 reviews" (and 10 photos) | Treat API reviews as a sample; don't plan on full review text from the API | | Phone or website missing | Field not in your field mask, or the business didn't list one | Add `nationalPhoneNumber` and `websiteUri` to the mask (Enterprise tier); otherwise the field is genuinely empty | | No street address | Service-area businesses can hide their address on their profile | Keep them; use the city and coordinates Google provides for the area check | | CAPTCHAs, blocks or empty pages | Browser automation at volume from one IP | Slow down, or move to the official API or a hosted service; residential proxies are what scraping vendors use | | Fewer reviews and photos when signed out | Google has tested a "limited view" for signed-out users (February 2026) | Check results in a signed-in browser before you blame the scraper | | No emails at all | Google Maps listings have no email field | Crawl each business's website, then verify the addresses | | The same business twice | Overlapping tiles or keyword variants | Dedupe on place ID, not on name | ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the easiest way to scrape Google Maps?[#](#what-is-the-easiest-way-to-scrape-google-maps) A no-code browser extension or a hosted tool. You run a search, scroll the results and export a CSV. It works for small pulls, but it stops at about 120 results per search and gives you no emails unless the tool visits each website. ### Can I scrape Google Maps with Python?[#](#can-i-scrape-google-maps-with-python) Yes. You can drive a browser with Playwright or Selenium, or call the official Places API. Browser scraping breaks when Google changes the page and gets blocked at volume. The Places API is stable but costs money per request, caps Text Search at 60 results, has no email field and restricts storing the data. ### How do I scrape more than 120 results from Google Maps?[#](#how-do-i-scrape-more-than-120-results-from-google-maps) Split the area into smaller tiles and run the same search in each, add keyword variants for the trade, then merge and remove duplicates by place ID. Every method above needs this to cover a whole city. ### Is it free to scrape Google Maps?[#](#is-it-free-to-scrape-google-maps) Small amounts can be. Extensions have free tiers, the Places API gives a monthly free allowance per SKU, and many tools have free credits. At city scale you pay in money, proxies or time. ### Why does my Google Maps scraper only return 20 results?[#](#why-does-my-google-maps-scraper-only-return-20-results) Usually because only the first page loaded. The Places API returns 20 places per page and up to 60 across pages if you follow `nextPageToken`. In the Maps interface, the results panel loads more as you scroll, so a scraper that doesn't scroll to the end captures only the first batch. ### Is scraping Google Maps allowed?[#](#is-scraping-google-maps-allowed) Google's terms prohibit it, and the Maps Platform terms restrict how API data is stored. It is a contract issue first; whether it is unlawful depends on your country and the data.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell janitorial supplies: cleaning companies, facilities and the buyers who reorder Sell janitorial supplies: who buys at cleaning companies and facilities, how to list every janitorial firm in your area, what to pitch, timing and scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To sell janitorial supplies, list every janitorial and commercial cleaning company inside your delivery area, add the facilities that clean in-house (schools, churches, offices, medical sites), and contact the owner or operations manager with a trial order and a clear cost per use. Supply is a reorder business, so the first sale matters less than the second: deliver on time, never run them out, and make reordering easy. Cleaning companies are easy to find on Google Maps, and most list a website, phone and hours. ## Who buys janitorial supplies?[#](#who-buys-janitorial-supplies) Two groups buy: cleaning contractors, who clean other people's buildings, and facilities that clean their own. The contractor's owner or operations manager decides; at a facility, the facilities or environmental services manager does. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Buyer | Who decides | What they buy | What they care about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Small janitorial company (owner-run) | Owner | Chemicals, liners, paper, microfiber, small equipment | Price, delivery, credit terms | | Mid-size and large janitorial company | Operations or purchasing manager; site supervisors order | Everything, plus floor machines and dispensers | Cost per use, consistency across sites | | Franchise cleaning business | Franchisee, within the brand's approved list | Approved products | Compliance with the franchise | | Residential cleaning (maid services) | Owner | Chemicals, microfiber, vacuums | Safe-for-home products, price | | Carpet and floor care companies | Owner | Extraction chemicals, equipment, parts | Results, machine uptime | | Schools, churches, offices that clean in-house | Facilities manager, business manager | Paper, liners, chemicals, equipment | Budget, safety | | Hospitals, nursing homes, clinics | Environmental services or supply chain | Disinfectants, liners, PPE | Infection control, contracts | | Property managers | Property or maintenance manager | Common-area supplies | Cost, delivery to many sites | Contractors are the core market. The Census Bureau counted 67,799 janitorial service establishments with paid employees in 2023. The code also covers maid services, so expect both commercial and residential cleaners in any list. BLS counts about 2.4 million janitor and building cleaner jobs across all industries, many of them in-house at schools, hospitals and offices, which is why facilities are the second market. ## What do cleaning companies buy, and what angle works?[#](#what-do-cleaning-companies-buy-and-what-angle-works) They buy consumables every month and equipment a few times a year. Consumables are where the reorders are. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Category | Examples | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | | Chemicals | Concentrates, disinfectants, glass and floor cleaners, degreasers | Cost per use at their dilution, dispensing systems, training | | Paper and liners | Towels, tissue, can liners | Price per case, stock on hand, next-day delivery | | Microfiber and tools | Cloths, mops, buckets, carts | Durability, color-coding for different areas | | Equipment | Vacuums, floor machines, autoscrubbers, extractors | Labor saved per shift, service and parts | | Dispensers | Soap, towel and tissue dispensers | Free or low-cost dispensers tied to refills | | PPE | Gloves, eye protection | Fit, price | | Green products | Products carrying EPA's Safer Choice label | Clients who ask for safer products | Cost per use beats price per gallon. A concentrate that costs more per gallon can cost less per mop bucket, and a cleaning company owner who runs on thin margins will do that math with you. EPA's Safer Choice program labels products, including cleaning products, that perform and contain ingredients safer for human health and the environment. Some building owners ask their cleaners for safer products, so carrying labeled options gives your customers something to offer their clients. ## How do I build a list of janitorial and cleaning companies?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-janitorial-and-cleaning-companies) Search Google Maps for every cleaning term across your delivery area, merge the results and split commercial from residential cleaners. 1. **Draw your delivery area.** A radius around your warehouse, or the counties your trucks reach. Delivery cost is your margin. 2. **Search several terms.** "Janitorial service", "commercial cleaning service", "office cleaning service", "janitorial company", "floor care service", "carpet cleaning service", "window cleaning service", "pressure washing service". For residential: "house cleaning service", "maid service". 3. **Check categories.** The core Google Maps categories are Janitorial service and Commercial cleaning service, plus Carpet cleaning service, Window cleaning service and Pressure washing service. Many maid services also pick Commercial cleaning service, so read the second category and the website. 4. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results; split large areas by ZIP code or neighborhood. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 5. **Mark franchises.** Sort by name and website domain. Repeated names usually mean franchise units that may have an approved-supplier list. 6. **Add facilities.** Schools, churches, property managers and medical sites that clean in-house buy too. See the [janitorial company lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/janitorial-companies), the [cleaning services lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/cleaning-services) and [house cleaning service leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/house-cleaning-services) for the full search terms and columns. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## How do I segment cleaning companies with the list's columns?[#](#how-do-i-segment-cleaning-companies-with-the-lists-columns) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Use | | --- | --- | | `category` | Commercial vs residential vs carpet and floor care | | `reviews` | A rough size signal; more reviews usually means more clients and more supply volume | | `website` | A site with a services page tells you which buildings they clean (medical, schools, offices) | | `hours` | Office hours, so you know when the owner is at a desk | | `email` role and source | An owner, operations or office address beats a booking form | | `distance_km`, `in_area` | Keeps the list inside your delivery area, nearest first | Sort by distance from your warehouse and start with the closest. They're cheapest to deliver to and easiest to visit. ## When is the best time to reach a cleaning company owner?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-a-cleaning-company-owner) Late morning to early afternoon on weekdays. Commercial cleaning happens at night, so owners often supervise crews in the evening and start late. Mornings after a night shift and evenings are the worst times. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Contact | Better | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Call | 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday to Thursday | Early morning, evenings | | Visit | Late morning, with samples | Unannounced in the evening | | Email | Any weekday | Nothing in particular | These are common practice, not measured results. Use the `hours` column where a company lists office hours. **The best moment is a change.** A company that just won a new contract, opened a new location or started up needs supplies now. Watching for new cleaning companies in your area each month catches the startups. See [how to find new businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area). **Gatekeepers are rare** at small companies: the owner answers. At larger ones, ask for the operations or purchasing manager by role. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Under 100 words, one concrete offer, one small ask. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{category}}`, `{{reviews}}`. ### Email 1: to a cleaning company owner[#](#email-1-to-a-cleaning-company-owner) ``` Subject: supplies for {{business}} Hi there, We deliver janitorial supplies to cleaning companies around {{city}}: liners, paper, chemicals and equipment, next-day inside [area]. Send me your five most-used products and I'll send back a price per case and a cost-per-use comparison at your dilution. If we're not cheaper or more reliable, I'll tell you. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested?

[Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How many times should I follow up?[#](#how-many-times-should-i-follow-up) Three or four times over three weeks, then a monthly check-in. Supply buyers switch when their current supplier lets them down, so staying in touch matters more than a hard push. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Day | Step | | --- | --- | | 1 | First email | | 4 | Follow-up: a price on one common item | | 8 | Call late morning; offer to drop off samples | | 15 | Visit with samples, if invited | | 22 | Last note; then a short monthly email with one useful price or product | ## What rules apply to selling cleaning chemicals and to cold outreach?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-selling-cleaning-chemicals-and-to-cold-outreach) For products, OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard requires chemical manufacturers and importers to provide labels and safety data sheets to downstream customers, and employers to keep safety data sheets for the hazardous chemicals their workers use and train workers on them. As a distributor, make the SDS for every product easy to get; your customers need it for their crews. For crews cleaning medical sites, OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard may apply to your customers, which affects the PPE and disinfectants they buy. For outreach, US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to business lines are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones, and many small cleaning company owners list a cell. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: a supply distributor in Georgia[#](#worked-example-a-supply-distributor-in-georgia) The Census Bureau counted 2,013 janitorial service establishments with paid employees in Georgia in 2023 (NAICS 561720). Many one-person cleaning businesses have no employees and aren't in that count, so a Google Maps list will be larger. Assumptions, for illustration only: you deliver within 50 miles of Atlanta, a search across cleaning terms returns about 2,500 cleaning companies after deduplication, plus 1,500 schools, churches and property managers that clean in-house, and you take out one checked email for 1,000 of them in the first month. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Cleaning companies in the delivery area | from the search (assumed) | about 2,500 | | Facilities that clean in-house | from the search (assumed) | about 1,500 | | Business credits | one per business, charged once ever | about 4,000 | | Checked emails taken out, month one | 1,000 | 1,000 | | Plan | Starter: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month | $19 | If you cover the whole state or want two contacts per company, Growth at $49 a month gives 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails. Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and businesses outside your delivery area are never charged. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build the list by hand, Leadraft finds every janitorial and cleaning company inside the delivery area you draw, with distance, hours and checked emails. Try it on the free plan, or see the columns on [the janitorial company lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/janitorial-companies). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell janitorial supplies?[#](#how-do-i-sell-janitorial-supplies) List every janitorial and commercial cleaning company inside your delivery area, plus the facilities that clean in-house (schools, churches, offices, medical sites), and contact the owner or operations manager. Lead with cost per use, delivery reliability and a trial order, then earn the reorder with on-time delivery and a simple way to buy again. ### Who buys janitorial supplies at a cleaning company?[#](#who-buys-janitorial-supplies-at-a-cleaning-company) At a small cleaning company, the owner buys. At larger ones, an operations manager or purchasing manager sets the product list and supplier, and site supervisors place orders against it. Franchise cleaning businesses may have to buy from approved suppliers, so check before you pitch. ### How many janitorial companies are there in the US?[#](#how-many-janitorial-companies-are-there-in-the-us) The Census Bureau counted 67,799 janitorial service establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 561720, which also covers maid services). The largest states are California (6,956), Florida (6,675), Texas (3,858) and New York (3,762). BLS counts about 2.4 million janitor and building cleaner jobs across all industries. ### What is the best way to win a cleaning company as a supply customer?[#](#what-is-the-best-way-to-win-a-cleaning-company-as-a-supply-customer) Offer a small trial order on the products they use most (can liners, paper, a disinfectant, a floor cleaner), show the cost per use at their dilution, and deliver on time. Most switch suppliers over price per use, stockouts or late deliveries, so make those your pitch. ### Do I need to provide safety data sheets with cleaning chemicals?[#](#do-i-need-to-provide-safety-data-sheets-with-cleaning-chemicals) Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, chemical manufacturers and importers must prepare labels and safety data sheets for downstream customers, and employers must keep safety data sheets for the hazardous chemicals their workers use. As a supplier, make the SDS for every product easy for customers to get. This isn't legal advice. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell to auto repair shops: parts, software and marketing that get a yes Sell to auto repair shops: list every independent shop, body shop and tow company in your area, reach the owner when bays are quiet, and pitch with scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To sell to auto repair shops, list every independent shop in the area you serve, split them by type (general repair, specialists, body shops, towing) and size, and reach the owner or service manager in the mid-afternoon lull on a Tuesday to Thursday. Lead with one result a shop owner tracks every week: car count, average repair order, bays kept full, or parts on time. Shops are easy to find on Google Maps and busy most of the day, so a short, specific message at the right hour does better than a long pitch. ## What do auto repair shops buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-auto-repair-shops-buy-and-who-decides) Repair shops buy parts, tools and equipment, shop management software, marketing, financing for customers, warranty programs, insurance, uniforms and shop supplies. At an independent shop, the owner decides the big things and the service manager has a strong say on daily ones. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Independent shop | Franchise or dealer service | The angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Parts (aftermarket, OE) | Owner, service manager, techs | Often brand or group programs | Delivery speed, fill rate, returns | | Tools, lifts, diagnostic equipment | Owner, lead tech | Group purchasing, fixed ops director | Jobs the tool brings in, financing | | Shop management, estimating, inspection software | Owner, service manager | Often set by the brand or dealer group | Higher repair orders, faster estimates | | Marketing, SEO, websites, reviews | Owner | Brand marketing, sometimes local budget | Car count from local searches | | Customer financing, warranties | Owner, service advisor | Brand programs | Approving larger repairs | | Waste oil, parts washers, shop supplies | Owner, shop foreman | Facilities, group contracts | Pickup reliability, compliance | | Insurance, payroll, staffing | Owner | Group | Keeping technicians | **Independents vs chains.** Independent shops decide locally and are the core market for most sellers. Franchise locations (quick lube, tire and brake brands) and dealer service departments often buy through programs set at head office. They're still worth a call for local services like towing partnerships, uniforms or waste pickup. **Specialists buy differently.** A transmission shop needs different parts and tools than an oil change place. A body shop works with insurers and buys paint, frame equipment and estimating tools. Tow companies buy trucks, dispatch software and insurance, and they're a useful partner channel for repair shops. Refrigerant is one compliance trigger. The EPA says anyone who repairs or services a motor vehicle air conditioning system for consideration must be trained and certified under Section 609 of the Clean Air Act. Training providers and refrigerant or A/C equipment suppliers can sell to every shop that does A/C work. For scale, the Bureau of Labor Statistics counts about 825,800 automotive service technician and mechanic jobs in 2025, and says employers may require or prefer certification in specific areas such as brakes and electrical systems, which is a market for training and testing providers. ## How do I build a list of auto repair shops?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-auto-repair-shops) Search Google Maps by shop type across your area, in pieces, and use the export's columns to keep the shops that fit. 1. **Search by type.** "Auto repair shop", "mechanic", "car repair and maintenance service", "brake shop", "transmission shop", "tire shop", "oil change service", "muffler shop", "auto air conditioning service", "auto electrical service", "truck repair shop", "smog inspection station". Add "auto body shop" and "towing service" if they fit your product. 2. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search shows about 120 results. A metro has many more shops, so split by ZIP code or neighborhood. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates.** Shops appear under several categories. 4. **Remove chains** if you sell to independents: sort by business name and drop names that repeat across the area. There's no chain flag on Maps. 5. **Segment:** - **category**: general repair vs specialist vs body vs towing. - **reviews**: more reviews usually means more cars through the bays. - **rating**: reputation tools and marketing pitches start here. - **hours**: Saturday hours, evening hours, and the day they're closed. - **website**: no website or a dated one is a web-design lead. - **emails with role and source**: service@ or the owner's address from the About page, rather than a parts inbox. The [auto repair shop list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/auto-repair-shops) shows the fields and the full list of search terms. Body shops and tow companies have their own pages: [auto body shops](https://leadraft.co/leads/auto-body-shops) and [towing companies](https://leadraft.co/leads/towing-companies). The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I pitch to a repair shop?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-a-repair-shop) Pitch the number the owner already watches. Shop owners think in car count, average repair order (ARO), technician hours billed and comebacks. - **Parts distributors:** delivery times from your store to their bays, fill rate on the parts they use most, and easy returns. Offer a trial on one category. - **Shop software:** digital inspections with photos tend to make it easier for customers to approve work. Pitch higher approval on recommended repairs and faster estimates; only quote results you can document. - **Marketing agencies:** compare their rating and review count with the top shops nearby. Offer to fill slow days with oil changes and inspections that lead to bigger repairs. - **Tool and equipment sellers:** lead with the jobs a new tool brings in-house (ADAS calibration, alignment, diagnostics) and the financing. - **Customer financing and warranties:** the service advisor is the user. Show how it helps approve a large repair at the counter. - **Tow companies selling to shops:** offer a referral partnership and fast response to the shop's customers. ## When is the best time to contact an auto repair shop?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-an-auto-repair-shop) Mid-afternoon, Tuesday to Thursday. Mornings are drop-offs and estimates; the end of the day is pickups and payment. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Time | What's happening | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | 7:30 to 10 a.m. | Drop-offs, estimates, phone calls | Don't call | | 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. | Cars in bays, front counter quieter | Best time to call or walk in | | After 4:30 p.m. | Customers collecting cars | Don't call | | Monday | Heaviest day for most shops | Email only | | Saturday | Many shops open half a day or closed | Check the hours column | These are common patterns, not measured results. Walk-ins work well for parts and supplies; bring a price sheet and leave a card. **Gatekeepers.** The service writer or advisor answers the phone and is busy with customers. Ask, "Who decides on \[parts / software / marketing\] here, and when is a good time?" In a small shop, that's the owner, who may be under a car. ## What should my email to a repair shop say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-a-repair-shop-say) Short, specific, and about their shop. Double-brace fields are columns from the export. ``` Subject: slow days at {{business}} Hi there, {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, so the customers you get stay with you. I help independent shops in {{city}} fill the slow days with oil changes and inspections that turn into larger repairs. Want a one-page plan for your shop? No call needed unless it fits. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For a parts distributor: ``` Subject: parts to {{business}} in under an hour Hi there, We're the [distributor] store on [road], [distance] from you. We deliver around {{city}} several times a day and take returns at the counter. I'd like to set up an account for {{business}} with a trial on [category]. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` More templates are in [cold email templates for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-templates-local-businesses). ## How often should I follow up with shops?[#](#how-often-should-i-follow-up-with-shops) Three follow-ups over three weeks, then a quarterly check-in. Shop owners often reply on slow afternoons or after hours. 1. **Day 1:** first email. 2. **Day 4:** "Is \[topic\] something you handle, or should I talk to your service manager?" 3. **Day 10:** something useful: a price sheet, a short listing review, a sample inspection report. 4. **Day 21:** a polite close. For parts and supplies, a walk-in after the second email often works better than a third email. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to repair shops?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-repair-shops) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: repair, body and towing in Georgia[#](#worked-example-repair-body-and-towing-in-georgia) A parts distributor in Georgia wants every repair shop, body shop and tow company in the state. Census County Business Patterns 2023 counts these establishments with paid employees: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Type (NAICS) | Georgia, Census 2023 | | --- | --- | | General automotive repair (811111) | 2,265 | | Body, paint and interior repair (811121) | 1,040 | | Motor vehicle towing (488410) | 335 | | Total | 3,640 | Shops with no employees aren't counted and Maps categories don't match NAICS exactly, so plan with about 3,600 shops. Assume half have a checked email: about 1,800. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Leadraft plan | What it covers | Cost | | --- | --- | --- | | Starter, $19 a month | 25,000 businesses, 1,000 checked emails a month | $38 over two months | | Growth, $49 a month | 100,000 businesses, 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 in one month | Each shop is charged once ever, shops outside your area or in another trade are shown free, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing).

Lead with one result they track: car count, average repair order, bay hours used, or parts arriving on time. ### Who makes buying decisions at an auto repair shop?[#](#who-makes-buying-decisions-at-an-auto-repair-shop) At an independent shop, the owner decides, and in a small shop the owner is often also the lead technician or service writer. The service manager or service advisor has a big say on parts suppliers, shop software and customer communication tools. At franchise and dealer service departments, many vendors are chosen at the brand or group level. ### When is the best time to call an auto repair shop?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-call-an-auto-repair-shop) Mid-afternoon, roughly 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Tuesday to Thursday. Early mornings are drop-offs and estimates, lunch is pickups for some shops, and the last hour is customers collecting cars. Monday is usually the heaviest day. These are common patterns, not measured results. ### How do I get a list of auto repair shops?[#](#how-do-i-get-a-list-of-auto-repair-shops) Search Google Maps for auto repair shop, mechanic, brake shop, transmission shop, tire shop, oil change service and auto body shop in each ZIP code or part of your area, since one search returns about 120 results. Export with phone, website, rating, reviews, hours and emails from each shop's website, then remove chains if you only sell to independents. ### How many auto repair shops are there in the US?[#](#how-many-auto-repair-shops-are-there-in-the-us) County Business Patterns 2023 counts 84,859 general automotive repair establishments with paid employees (NAICS 811111) and 35,029 body, paint and interior repair shops (NAICS 811121). Owner-operators with no employees aren't in those counts. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell to churches: pastors, administrators, committees and the church calendar Sell to churches: who decides (pastor, administrator, board), how to list every church in your area by denomination, what to pitch, timing and email scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To sell to churches, list every church in your area by denomination and size, find the person who handles your category, and lead with stewardship: what your product saves, protects or makes possible for the ministry. At a small church that person is usually the pastor; at a larger one it's the church administrator or executive pastor, with a board or committee approving bigger spends. Time it around the church calendar, and reach them before the budget is set for next year. ## Who decides at a church?[#](#who-decides-at-a-church) At a small church, the pastor decides with a board or finance committee approving; at a larger church, staff run their own areas and the board approves big spends. Church size matters more than denomination for who you'll talk to. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Role | Common at | What they decide | | --- | --- | --- | | Senior or lead pastor | Every church | Small churches: nearly everything. Larger: direction and big decisions | | Executive pastor | Larger churches | Operations, staff, vendors, budget | | Church administrator or business manager | Mid-size and larger | Software, insurance, office, payroll, contracts | | Facilities manager | Larger churches, or a volunteer trustee at smaller ones | Building, HVAC, roof, cleaning, security | | Worship, production or technical director | Churches with livestream or a band | Audio, video, lighting, streaming | | Children's or youth director | Mid-size and larger | Check-in systems, curriculum, background checks | | Board, elders, deacons, vestry, finance committee | Most churches, by tradition | Approves budgets and large purchases | | Regional denominational office | Some traditions | Some insurance, property or software programs | Most churches are small. The Hartford Institute for Religion Research reports a median of about 70 regular worship participants per congregation. At that size there's often one paid pastor, part-time office help and volunteers, so the pastor reads your email. ## What do churches buy?[#](#what-do-churches-buy) Churches buy software, audio and video, insurance, facility services and outreach materials. The angle that works is stewardship: they're spending donated money and want to know it's well used. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Who usually decides | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | | Church management software, online giving | Administrator or pastor | Volunteer and staff time, giving made easy | | Audio, video, lighting, livestream | Worship or technical director, pastor | Clear sound, reaching members at home | | Insurance (property, liability, abuse prevention coverage) | Administrator, board | Protection, peace of mind for the board | | Facilities (HVAC, roofing, cleaning, security, parking lot) | Facilities manager or trustee | Safe building, lower bills | | Websites, design, social media | Pastor, communications staff | Visitors finding them | | Background checks, child check-in | Children's director, administrator | Child safety | | Furniture, chairs, signage, playgrounds | Facilities, pastor, board | Durability, welcoming space | | Accounting, payroll, clergy tax help | Administrator, treasurer | Accurate records, less volunteer time | If you sell cleaning or facility services, see also [how to get commercial cleaning contracts](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-commercial-cleaning-contracts). ## How do I build a list of churches?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-churches) Search Google Maps for "church" plus every denomination common in your area, merge the results and remove duplicates. A plain "church" search misses many listings that use a denomination category. 1. **Pick the area.** A county, a city, ZIP codes, or a shape you draw around the region you serve. 2. **Search by denomination.** "Baptist church", "Catholic church", "Methodist church", "Lutheran church", "Presbyterian church", "Episcopal church", "Pentecostal church", "Assemblies of God church", "Church of Christ", "nondenominational church", "evangelical church". Add other congregations if your product fits them: "synagogue", "mosque", "Hindu temple". 3. **Check categories.** Google Maps categories include Church, Baptist church, Catholic church, Methodist church, United Methodist church, Lutheran church, Presbyterian church and Episcopal church, among many others. 4. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results, and a county can have hundreds of churches. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 5. **Remove non-congregations.** Church offices, Christian bookstores, church-run schools and thrift stores show up too. Keep them only if they fit. 6. **Sort by size.** Use reviews as a size proxy (below). The [church lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/churches) has the full list of denomination terms and columns. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## How do I tell a large church from a small one?[#](#how-do-i-tell-a-large-church-from-a-small-one) Google Maps doesn't list attendance, so use proxies: review count, website, hours and social profiles. Churches usually don't file a Form 990 either. The IRS says churches that meet section 501(c)(3) requirements are automatically considered tax exempt and aren't required to file an annual return, so there's often no public financial record to check. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | What it suggests | | --- | --- | | `reviews` | A church with hundreds of reviews is usually a large congregation; under 20 is often small | | `website` | A site with staff pages often names the administrator and technical director | | `youtube`, `facebook`, `instagram` | A YouTube channel suggests livestreaming, which matters for AV sellers | | `hours` | Weekday office hours suggest paid office staff | | `category` | Denomination, for tailoring the message | | `email` role and source | An office or administrator address found on a staff or contact page | ## What should I pitch a church?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-a-church) Lead with stewardship and ministry, not features. A pastor wants to know your product helps people, protects the church, or frees volunteers to do something else. - **Software and giving:** hours of volunteer and staff time saved each week, and easier giving for members who don't carry cash. - **Audio and video:** clearer sound in the room and a reliable livestream for members at home. Offer a free sound check or system assessment on a weekday. - **Insurance:** what's covered and what isn't, in plain words. Boards care about liability and child-safety coverage. - **Facilities:** safety, reliability and lower bills. Large old buildings often have expensive HVAC and roof problems. - **Websites and marketing:** visitors finding the church and knowing what to expect on their first Sunday. Be honest about price. Churches compare quotes, and many have a member who works in your trade and will check your numbers. ## When is the best time to reach a church?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-a-church) Tuesday through Thursday, mid-morning. Sunday is the busiest day, the day before is preparation, and many pastors take a weekday off, often Monday. Seasonally, avoid the weeks before Easter and Christmas. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Contact | Better | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Email | Tuesday to Thursday | Weekends, Monday | | Call the office | 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., weekday office hours | Outside listed office hours | | Visit | A scheduled weekday meeting | Sunday, unannounced | | Season | Late summer and early fall, before budgets | Holy Week, December | These windows are common practice, not measured results. Use the `hours` column for office hours. **Budget timing matters.** Many churches set next year's budget in the fall, and a board or finance committee approves it. If your product needs a budget line, reach them in late summer so it can be included. **The church office is the gatekeeper.** Often it's a part-time secretary or a volunteer. Be kind, brief and clear about what you sell, and ask who handles it. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Under 100 words, warm and specific, with a small ask. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{category}}`. ### Email 1: audio, video or livestream[#](#email-1-audio-video-or-livestream) ``` Subject: Sunday sound at {{business}} Hello, I help churches around {{city}} with sound, video and livestreaming. Most of what we do is making the system you already have work better, not selling a new one. Could I come by on a weekday for a free 30-minute sound check and send you a short written summary? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email 1: software, insurance or services[#](#email-1-software-insurance-or-services) ``` Subject: [category] for {{business}} Hello Pastor, We work with {{category}} congregations in {{city}} on [specific job]. For a church like yours it usually means [one concrete, honest benefit]. If it would help before your next budget, I can send a one-page summary and a quote. Would that be useful? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How many times should I follow up?[#](#how-many-times-should-i-follow-up) Three follow-ups over about four weeks, gentle and useful. Churches dislike pressure. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Day | Step | | --- | --- | | 1 | First email | | 6 | Follow-up: one helpful resource (a checklist, a short guide) | | 13 | Call the office during listed hours | | 25 | Last note, then add to a list for late summer budget season | ## What rules apply to outreach to churches?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-outreach-to-churches) Churches are nonprofits, but your email to them is still a commercial message, so CAN-SPAM applies: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to church offices are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones, and small churches often list the pastor's cell. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws.

Many small congregations have no paid staff and aren't in that count, so a Google Maps list will usually be larger. Assumptions, for illustration only: a statewide search across denominations returns about 14,000 church listings after deduplication, about 60% have a website, and you take out one checked email for 4,000 of them in the first month. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Church listings in North Carolina | from the search (assumed) | about 14,000 | | Business credits | one per church, charged once ever | about 14,000 | | With a website | 60% (assumed) | about 8,400 | | Checked emails taken out, month one | first 4,000 | 4,000 | | Plan | Growth: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 | An AV company serving one metro needs far less: the Starter plan at $19 a month covers 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and churches outside your area are never charged. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build church lists by hand, Leadraft finds every church of the denominations you choose inside the area you pick, with reviews, social links and checked emails. Try it on the free plan, or see the columns on [the church lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/churches). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to churches?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-churches) List every church in your area by denomination and size, find the person who handles your category (the pastor at a small church, the church administrator or executive pastor at a larger one), and lead with stewardship: what it saves, what it protects, or how it helps the ministry. Expect a committee or board to approve larger spends, and time your outreach around the church calendar and budget season. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at a church?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-a-church) At a small church, the pastor usually decides, often with a board or finance committee approving. Larger churches have an executive pastor or church administrator who runs operations and vendors, a facilities manager, and a worship or technical director for audio and video. Some denominations handle certain purchases, such as insurance or property, at a regional level. ### How many churches are there in the US?[#](#how-many-churches-are-there-in-the-us) The Hartford Institute for Religion Research estimates roughly 373,000 religious congregations in the US, and the 2020 US Religion Census counted 356,642. The Census Bureau counted 186,801 religious organizations with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 813110). The median congregation has about 70 regular worship participants. ### When is the best time to contact a pastor?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-a-pastor) Tuesday to Thursday, mid-morning. Avoid Sundays, the day before and after major services, and the weeks around Easter and Christmas. Many pastors take a weekday off, often Monday. For anything that needs budget, reach them before the church sets next year's budget, which many churches do in the fall. ### Do churches file tax returns I can use to qualify them?[#](#do-churches-file-tax-returns-i-can-use-to-qualify-them) Usually not. The IRS says churches that meet section 501(c)(3) requirements are automatically considered tax exempt and are not required to file an annual return, so there's often no Form 990 to look up. That's one reason a list built from Google Maps, with size signals like reviews and website, is useful for churches. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell to contractors: general and specialty trades, who buys, when to call Sell to contractors: build a list of general and specialty contractors by trade, find who buys at each size, call before crews leave, and pitch with scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To sell to contractors, choose the trades your product fits, list every one of those contractors in your area, and sort them by size and type before you write a word. Then reach the owner before crews leave in the morning or after they return, and lead with what they measure: jobs won, crews kept busy, cash collected, time off the job site. "Contractors" is many markets at once. A kitchen remodeler, an electrician and a concrete company buy different things from different people, so treat each trade as its own campaign. ## Which contractors should I target?[#](#which-contractors-should-i-target) Target the trades that buy what you sell, then the size band where your price makes sense. This table covers the common ones. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Trade | Google Maps categories and terms | Buys a lot of | Industry page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | General contractors and home builders | "General contractor", "Construction company", "Home builder", "Custom home builder" | Estimating and project software, insurance, subcontractors, materials | [General contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/general-contractors) | | Remodelers | "Remodeler", "Kitchen remodeler", "Bathroom remodeler" | Marketing, design tools, financing, cabinets and fixtures | [Remodeling contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/remodeling-contractors) | | Electricians | "Electrician", "Electrical installation service", "Lighting contractor", "Generator shop" | Wire and gear from supply houses, EV charger and generator programs, software | [Electricians](https://leadraft.co/leads/electricians) | | Concrete and masonry | "Concrete contractor", "Masonry contractor", "Paving contractor" | Equipment, rentals, ready-mix, trucks | [Concrete contractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/concrete-contractors) | | Other specialty trades | "Painter", "Flooring contractor", "Fence contractor", "Drywall contractor" | Supplies, marketing, software | [Painters](https://leadraft.co/leads/painters), [flooring](https://leadraft.co/leads/flooring-contractors) | For roofers, plumbers and HVAC, see the dedicated playbooks: [roofing companies](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-roofing-companies-as-clients), [plumbing companies](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-plumbing-companies-as-clients) and [HVAC companies](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-hvac-companies-as-clients). ## Who decides what a contractor buys?[#](#who-decides-what-a-contractor-buys) At most contractors the owner decides. Construction is dominated by small firms where the owner also estimates, sells and runs jobs. As firms grow, decisions spread out: Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Small contractor | Mid-size contractor | | --- | --- | --- | | Materials and supplies | Owner, lead carpenter or foreman | Project manager, estimator, purchasing | | Equipment and rentals | Owner | Equipment or operations manager | | Software (estimating, scheduling, invoicing) | Owner | Operations manager, controller, owner signs | | Insurance, bonding | Owner | Owner, controller | | Marketing and websites | Owner | Owner, sales or marketing manager | | Subcontract labor, staffing | Owner | Project managers, superintendent | | Safety gear and training | Owner | Safety manager | **Residential vs commercial.** Residential contractors (remodelers, custom builders, most electricians on service work) sell to homeowners, so they care about reviews, leads and financing. Commercial contractors bid work from owners, developers and general contractors, so they care about bids, bonding capacity and estimating speed. The company's website usually makes this obvious: project photos of kitchens versus warehouses. **Supplier relationships.** Many contractors buy from the same supply house for years. A new supplier rarely wins by price alone; delivery to the job, stock on the shelf, credit terms and a rep who answers the phone at 6:30 a.m. matter more. ## How do I build a list of contractors?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-contractors) Search Google Maps one trade at a time across your area, then segment the export. 1. **Search one trade per term.** Use the categories in the table. Add the variants people use: "handyman", "deck builder", "design build firm", "commercial electrician". 2. **Search in pieces.** A single Maps search returns about 120 results. A metro has thousands of contractors, so split by ZIP code or a grid. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates.** A design-build firm shows up as "General contractor", "Remodeler" and "Kitchen remodeler". 4. **Keep your territory.** For a supplier, that's the drive radius from the branch; for an insurance agent, the states you're licensed in. 5. **Segment with the columns:** - **category and categories**: the trade, and whether they do residential, commercial or both. - **reviews**: residential contractors with many reviews do more jobs. Commercial firms often have few reviews regardless of size, so use the website instead. - **rating**: useful for marketing and reputation pitches. - **website**: no site is a web-design lead; a project portfolio tells you their work type. - **hours**: who opens early, who works Saturdays. - **emails with role and source**: estimating@ and bids@ go to estimators; office@ to the office manager. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I pitch to contractors?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-contractors) Pitch one result in contractor terms. "Saves time" is vague; "estimates out the same day" or "materials on site before the crew" is concrete. - **Suppliers:** delivery windows, stock depth, credit terms, and a direct number for the counter. Offer a trade account, not a meeting. - **Software:** pick the pain by trade. Remodelers lose money on change orders; electricians on service calls not invoiced; general contractors on scheduling subs. Name it. - **Insurance and bonding:** contractors need general liability, workers' comp and often bonds to bid. Lead with faster certificates of insurance and help growing bonding capacity, not with price alone. See [commercial insurance leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/commercial-insurance-leads). - **Equipment and rentals:** lead with availability on short notice and delivery to the site. - **Marketing:** for residential trades, lead with booked estimates. Compare their reviews with the top competitors in their city. - **Safety and training:** OSHA requires fall protection for construction workers on surfaces with unprotected edges 6 feet or more above a lower level. Training and gear sellers can offer on-site sessions before the busy season. ## When is the best time to reach contractors?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-contractors) Early morning, late afternoon and rainy days. Contractors spend the working day on job sites, so the office or the owner's phone is free at the edges of the day. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Window | Why it works | | --- | --- | | 6:30 to 8 a.m. | Owners are at the shop or loading trucks | | 3:30 to 5 p.m. | Crews are back, owner is catching up | | Rain days | Outdoor trades can't work and pick up the phone | | Winter (cold climates) | Slower season for planning, software and insurance | | Avoid | Mid-morning to mid-afternoon on dry weekdays; the peak building season for long pitches | These are common patterns, not measured results. Email works any time; owners often read it in the evening. **Gatekeepers.** At mid-size firms, an office manager answers and screens. Ask who handles your topic by role ("Who handles your insurance certificates?", "Who picks your supply house?"), then email that person. ## What should my email to a contractor say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-a-contractor-say) Short, specific, one small next step. The double-brace fields are columns from the export. ``` Subject: same-day delivery to {{business}} job sites Hi there, We run the [supplier] yard in [town] and deliver to job sites around {{city}}, usually the same day if you order by 9 a.m. I'd like to open a trade account for {{business}} and send our price sheet. Is there someone else who handles purchasing, or is that you? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For software or insurance: ``` Subject: {{category}} in {{city}} Hi there, I work with {{category}} companies around {{city}} on [one specific problem: change orders, insurance certificates, invoicing from the truck]. Most see [the one result you can document]. Worth a 10-minute call before your busy season? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How many follow-ups should I send?[#](#how-many-follow-ups-should-i-send) Three follow-ups over about three weeks. Contractors are busy, not uninterested, so the follow-up often gets the reply. 1. **Day 1:** first email. 2. **Day 4:** "Did I reach the right person for \[topic\]?" 3. **Day 10:** something useful: a price sheet, a checklist, a sample estimate. 4. **Day 21:** close politely and offer to check in before next season. Honor opt-outs immediately and keep a do-not-contact list. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to contractors?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-contractors) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls. Many contractors list a cell phone, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: three trades across Texas[#](#worked-example-three-trades-across-texas) A supplier or insurance agent covering Texas wants residential builders and remodelers, electricians and concrete contractors. Census County Business Patterns 2023 counts, for Texas, establishments with paid employees: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Trade (NAICS) | Texas, Census 2023 | | --- | --- | | Residential building construction, including remodelers (2361) | 12,354 | | Electrical contractors (238210) | 6,124 | | Poured concrete contractors (238110) | 1,858 | | Total | 20,336 | Owner-operators with no employees aren't counted, and Maps categories don't line up exactly with NAICS codes, so your list will differ. For planning, assume about 20,000 contractors and that half have a checked email: about 10,000. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Leadraft plan | What it covers | Cost | | --- | --- | --- | | Growth, $49 a month | 100,000 businesses, 5,000 checked emails a month | about $98 over two months for 10,000 checked emails | | Pro, $99 a month | 300,000 businesses, 15,000 checked emails a month | $99 in one month | Each business is charged once ever, contractors outside your area or in the wrong trade are shown free, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build contractor lists by hand, Leadraft finds every contractor of the trades you choose inside your area and [checks the emails it finds](https://leadraft.co/product/emails) against the live mailbox. Start with one trade on the free plan, or see the fields on the [general contractor list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/general-contractors). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to contractors?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-contractors) Start with the trades your product fits (general contractors, remodelers, electricians, concrete and others), list every one of them in your area, and sort them by size and type using their Google Maps category, review count and website. Contact the owner early in the morning or at the end of the day, and lead with something they measure: jobs won, crews kept busy, cash collected, or time off the job site. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at a construction company?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-a-construction-company) At small contractors the owner decides almost everything. At mid-size firms, project managers and estimators pick materials and subcontractors for each job, a purchasing manager or office manager handles suppliers and accounts, and an operations manager or controller handles software, insurance and equipment. The owner usually signs anything long term. ### When is the best time to call contractors?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-call-contractors) Early in the morning before crews leave for job sites, often 6:30 to 8 a.m., or late afternoon after they return. Rainy days are good for reaching owners. Slow seasons, which are winter in cold climates, are good for software, insurance and planning conversations. These are common patterns, not measured results. ### How do I get a list of contractors in my area?[#](#how-do-i-get-a-list-of-contractors-in-my-area) Search Google Maps for each trade separately: general contractor, construction company, remodeler, kitchen remodeler, electrician, concrete contractor, masonry contractor and so on. Split the area into ZIP codes or a grid, since each search returns about 120 results, and export with phone, website, rating, reviews, hours and emails from each company's own site. ### What do contractors buy most?[#](#what-do-contractors-buy-most) Materials and supplies, equipment and rentals, trucks and fuel, insurance and bonding, software for estimating, scheduling and invoicing, marketing for residential trades, and labor through subcontractors and staffing. Who decides depends on the size of the company and the trade. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To sell to gyms, list every gym and studio in your area by type (big-box gyms, boutique studios, yoga and Pilates studios, martial arts schools), set aside franchise locations whose vendors are chosen by the brand, and contact the owner or general manager mid-morning on a weekday, between the early and evening classes. Lead with a member number they track: new sign-ups, retention, class fill or revenue per member. Gyms and studios are all on Google Maps with hours, reviews and Instagram links, which tells you a lot about size and style before you write. ## What do gyms buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-gyms-buy-and-who-decides) Gyms buy equipment, member management and booking software, marketing, payments, insurance, cleaning, towels and laundry, supplements and retail, and staffing. At independents the owner decides; at bigger gyms the general manager handles most vendors; at franchises the brand decides some of it. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Independent gym or studio | Larger gym | Franchise location | The angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Strength and cardio equipment | Owner | Owner, operations or fitness manager | Brand-approved suppliers | Durability, service, financing | | Member management, booking, billing software | Owner | GM, owner signs | Often set by the brand | Retention, failed-payment recovery, class fill | | Marketing, ads, websites, social | Owner | Owner, marketing lead | Franchisee, with brand rules | Trial sign-ups that convert | | Cleaning, towels, laundry | Owner | GM, facilities | Franchisee | Reliability, locker rooms that pass | | Retail, supplements, apparel | Owner | GM, front desk lead | Brand programs | Margin per member | | Insurance, payroll, staffing | Owner | Owner, GM | Franchisee | Covering coaches and front desk | **Independents, boutiques and franchises.** Independent gyms and boutique studios decide locally and fast. Franchise locations are run by local franchisees who often have some freedom on local marketing, cleaning and staffing, but not on equipment or core software. Check before you spend time on them. **Coaches and trainers.** The Bureau of Labor Statistics says fitness and recreational sports centers employ 55% of fitness trainers and instructors, and 15% are self-employed. Independent trainers working out of a gym can be their own small market for software, insurance and education. ## How do I build a list of gyms and studios?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-gyms-and-studios) Search Google Maps by type across your area, in pieces, and segment the export by category, reviews, hours and social links. 1. **Search each type.** "Gym", "fitness center", "health club", "personal trainer", "yoga studio", "Pilates studio", "boxing gym", "martial arts school", "kickboxing school", "rock climbing gym", "dance school". Add "CrossFit gym", "jiu jitsu" and "karate school" as search terms. 2. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search returns about 120 results. A city has more gyms and studios than that, so split by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates** across types. 4. **Separate franchises** by sorting on business name and flagging names that repeat. There's no franchise flag on Maps. 5. **Segment:** - **category**: big-box gym vs boutique vs yoga vs martial arts. They buy differently. - **reviews**: a size signal. Martial arts schools and yoga studios with hundreds of reviews have a large member base. - **rating**: retention and reputation pitches start here. - **hours**: 24-hour gyms buy access control, security and cleaning; studios with only class hours buy booking tools. - **website and Instagram**: studios often market on Instagram; no website is a web-design lead. - **emails with role and source**: the owner's or manager's address over a generic info@ inbox. The [gym lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/gyms) has the full search terms and fields, and studios have their own: [yoga studios](https://leadraft.co/leads/yoga-studios) and [martial arts schools](https://leadraft.co/leads/martial-arts-schools). The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I pitch to a gym?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-a-gym) Pitch in member terms. Owners think about sign-ups, cancellations, class fill and revenue per member, not features. - **Software:** pitch retention and payments: fewer failed card payments, easier booking, reminders that bring members back. Quote only numbers you can document. - **Marketing agencies:** trial offers that turn into memberships, and reviews that rank them in "gym near me" searches. Compare their reviews and rating with the top gyms nearby. - **Equipment:** lead with service response time, financing and a layout plan. New gyms and expansions are the best moments, so watch for new listings. - **Cleaning and laundry:** locker rooms and mats drive cancellations when they're dirty. Offer a walkthrough and a fixed price. See [how to get commercial cleaning contracts](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-commercial-cleaning-contracts). - **Martial arts and yoga:** smaller teams, class-based schedules, families as members. Pitch tools for belt testing, class packs, waivers and kids' programs. ## When is the best time to contact gyms?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-gyms) Mid-morning or early afternoon on weekdays. Early mornings (roughly 5:30 to 9 a.m.) and evenings (5 to 8 p.m.) are peak class times, when owners and managers are on the floor. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Time | What's happening | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | 5:30 to 9 a.m. | Early classes, busy floor | Don't call | | 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. | Quiet, owner doing admin | Best time to call or visit | | 1 to 3:30 p.m. | Quiet for most gyms | Good second window | | 5 to 8 p.m. | Evening peak | Don't call | | Fall | Planning the New Year push | Pitch member-acquisition and software | | January | Busiest sign-up stretch for many gyms | Short follow-ups only | These are common patterns, not measured results. Martial arts schools often have after-school kids' classes, so their quiet time is the morning. The hours column on each listing shows when they open and close. **Gatekeepers.** Front desk staff sell memberships and will try to sign you up. Say you're a vendor and ask for the owner or general manager by role, and when they're usually in. ## What should my email to a gym say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-a-gym-say) Short, specific, member-focused.

If you're local, a visit in the mid-morning lull after the second email works well. 1. **Day 1:** first email. 2. **Day 4:** "Is \[topic\] something you handle, or is there a manager I should talk to?" 3. **Day 10:** something useful: a short teardown of their Google listing, an equipment service checklist, a retention example. 4. **Day 21:** a polite close with an offer to check in before the New Year. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to gyms?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-gyms) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Small studios often list the owner's cell. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: every gym and studio in California[#](#worked-example-every-gym-and-studio-in-california) California has 5,371 fitness and recreational sports center establishments with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 713940), the most of any state. Studios and schools without employees aren't counted, and not every studio or martial arts school falls in that code, so a Maps search across all the types above will find more. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Assumption | Count | | --- | --- | --- | | Fitness and recreational sports centers, California | Census 2023 | 5,371 | | Plan for a larger Maps list with studios and schools | assume 8,000, for illustration | 8,000 | | With a checked (Verified) email | assume 40% | about 3,200 | | Leadraft cost | Growth: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 for the month | For one metro with about 1,500 gyms and studios and about 600 checked emails, the Starter plan at $19 a month (25,000 businesses, 1,000 checked emails) covers it. Each business is charged once ever, gyms outside your area or in another trade are shown free, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build gym lists by hand, Leadraft [finds every gym and studio inside the area you choose](https://leadraft.co/product/discovery) and checks the emails it finds against the live mailbox. Try it on your city on the free plan, or see the fields on the [gym lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/gyms). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to gyms?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-gyms) List every gym and studio in your area by type (big-box gyms, boutique studios, yoga and Pilates studios, martial arts schools, CrossFit-style boxes), separate independents from franchise locations, and contact the owner or general manager mid-morning or early afternoon on a weekday. Lead with member numbers: new sign-ups, retention, class fill rate or revenue per member. ### Who makes buying decisions at a gym?[#](#who-makes-buying-decisions-at-a-gym) At an independent gym or studio, the owner decides, and often teaches or coaches too. Larger gyms have a general manager who handles day-to-day vendors and a fitness or operations manager for equipment and programming. Franchise locations are run by a franchisee, but many brands set approved equipment, software and marketing at head office. ### When is the best time to contact a gym owner?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-a-gym-owner) Mid-morning after the early classes, roughly 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., or early afternoon, on Tuesday to Thursday. Early mornings and evenings are peak class times. Pitch member-acquisition services well before the New Year sign-up season, in the fall. These are common patterns, not measured results. ### How do I find a list of gyms and fitness studios?[#](#how-do-i-find-a-list-of-gyms-and-fitness-studios) Search Google Maps for gym, fitness center, health club, personal trainer, yoga studio, Pilates studio, boxing gym, martial arts school and kickboxing school in each neighborhood or ZIP code, since one search returns about 120 results. Export with phone, website, rating, reviews, hours, Instagram and emails from each gym's own site. ### How many gyms are there in the US?[#](#how-many-gyms-are-there-in-the-us) County Business Patterns 2023 counts 41,556 fitness and recreational sports center establishments with paid employees (NAICS 713940). Not every studio or martial arts school falls in that code, and owner-run studios with no employees aren't counted, so a Google Maps search usually finds more. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell to hospitals: supply chain, GPOs, value analysis and the people who decide Sell to hospitals: how supply chain, GPOs and value analysis committees decide, how to list every hospital in your area, who to contact first, and scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 11 min Category Playbook To sell to hospitals, first find out whether each hospital is independent or part of a health system and whether it buys your category through a group purchasing organization (GPO) contract. Then work two paths at once: supply chain (purchasing or materials management), which runs the process, and the clinical or department lead whose team will use your product. Expect a vendor registration, a value analysis review and a long cycle. A list of every hospital in your territory, with the independents marked, tells you where the cycle is shortest. ## Who buys at a hospital?[#](#who-buys-at-a-hospital) At a hospital, supply chain runs purchasing, clinicians and department heads create the demand, and a value analysis committee often decides whether a new product is allowed in. Large purchases and service contracts go up to executives. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Role | What they decide | What they care about | | --- | --- | --- | | Director of supply chain or materials management | Vendor selection, contracts, purchase orders | Total cost, contract compliance, supply reliability | | Value analysis committee | Whether a new product can be used | Clinical evidence, cost against what's used now, safety | | Department heads (OR, lab, imaging, nursing units) | What their team needs and will use | Workflow, outcomes, staff time | | Physicians and nurse leaders | Clinical preference | Patient outcomes, ease of use | | Facilities and environmental services | Building, cleaning, maintenance contracts | Uptime, compliance, after-hours work | | IT and information security | Software and devices on the network | Security review, integration, data handling | | CFO, COO, CEO | Capital purchases and large contracts | Budget, return, risk | The value analysis committee is where many new products stall. Bring what it asks for: clinical evidence, a cost comparison against the product currently used, and a plan for training and rollout. A clinician who already wants your product is the strongest sponsor you can have in that meeting. ## Independent hospital, health system or GPO contract: what changes?[#](#independent-hospital-health-system-or-gpo-contract-what-changes) The structure of the hospital decides who can say yes. The American Hospital Association counts about 6,100 hospitals in the US, including 5,121 community hospitals, and 3,567 of those community hospitals belong to a system (2024 AHA Annual Survey). In a system, contracts for many categories are signed once at system level and apply to every facility. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Situation | Who you need | What to expect | | --- | --- | --- | | Independent hospital | Hospital's own supply chain and the department lead | Shorter approval chain, smaller budget | | Hospital in a health system | System supply chain, often at headquarters | One contract can cover many hospitals; local staff may not be able to buy | | Category on a GPO contract | The GPO for the contract; the hospital for adoption | Members tend to buy from contracted vendors | | Services (cleaning, repairs, staffing, IT) | Facilities or department lead, then supply chain | Often local; references from nearby hospitals help | GPOs negotiate contracts for medical products and services on behalf of their members. The U.S. Government Accountability Office describes them as purchasing intermediaries funded mainly by administrative fees that vendors pay, a practice allowed under a safe harbor to the Anti-Kickback Statute. If your category is on a GPO contract a hospital uses, getting on that contract, or showing why you're worth buying off-contract, is part of the sale. ## How do I build a list of hospitals in my territory?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-hospitals-in-my-territory) Search Google Maps for every hospital type across your territory, then mark the system-owned ones. One search is not enough, because hospitals sit under several Maps categories. 1. **Draw the territory.** A state, a set of counties, or a shape around the region your reps can cover. 2. **Search several terms.** "Hospital", "general hospital", "medical center", "children's hospital", "psychiatric hospital", "rehabilitation hospital", "emergency room" and "surgical center". 3. **Check categories.** The main Google Maps categories are Hospital, General hospital, Medical Center, Children's hospital, Psychiatric hospital, Rehabilitation center and Emergency room. Medical Center and Emergency room also catch clinics and freestanding ERs, so read the names. 4. **Remove departments.** Large hospitals have separate Maps listings for imaging, labs, cancer centers and entrances. Keep them only if you sell to that department. 5. **Mark systems.** Sort by website domain. Hospitals that share one domain usually share one system and one supply chain. 6. **Add the outpatient layer.** Health systems also own clinics and urgent care sites; list them separately if you sell there too. The [hospital lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/hospitals) has the full set of search terms. For clinics and urgent care, see [medical clinic leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/medical-clinics) and [urgent care center leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/urgent-care-centers). Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## How do I segment a hospital list?[#](#how-do-i-segment-a-hospital-list) Use the columns to separate hospitals you can sell to directly from those where you need a system contract, and to find a door into each one. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Use | | --- | --- | | `category` | Separate general hospitals from children's, psychiatric and rehabilitation hospitals | | `website` domain | Group hospitals into systems; one domain usually means one supply chain | | `reviews` | A rough size signal; a large hospital has far more reviews than a 25-bed rural one | | `email` role and source | A purchasing, supply chain or vendor address found on a "suppliers" or "doing business with us" page | | `phone` | The main switchboard; ask for supply chain or materials management | | `in_area` | Keeps the list to your territory | Hospital websites often have a page for vendors or suppliers, with a registration link and a purchasing contact. The `source` column tells you which page an email was found on, so an address found on a vendor page is worth more than one found on a patient page. ## What should I pitch a hospital?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-a-hospital) Pitch the outcome the buyer is measured on, with evidence. Hospitals are cautious buyers. They want proof the product works, a clear total cost, and confidence you'll still be supplying them next year. - **Medical supplies and devices:** lead with cost per use or per case against the product they use now, and clinical evidence. Offer a trial or evaluation the value analysis committee can review. - **Software:** lead with staff time saved and how it fits the systems they already run. Expect a security review and questions about patient data; know whether you sign a business associate agreement. - **Services (cleaning, linen, biomedical repair, staffing):** lead with reliability, response times and references from similar facilities. Smaller and rural hospitals are often the place to start. - **Equipment and capital:** these follow the hospital's budget cycle. Ask early when capital requests are due. ## When is the best time to reach a hospital buyer?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-a-hospital-buyer) Start early and plan for months, not weeks. For capital items, reach the department lead before the hospital's capital budget is set; fiscal years vary, so ask. For supplies, a contract renewal or a product recall is often the opening. **Gatekeepers are formal.** Many hospitals require vendors to register before visiting, and some use a vendor credentialing process with documents and badges. Don't walk into a clinical area unannounced. Ask supply chain how they want new vendors to start, and follow it: it's the fastest way in. Email any weekday. For calls, the main number connects to supply chain during business hours; mornings are usually better than late afternoon. These are common practice, not measured results. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Write to supply chain or the department lead, keep it under 120 words, and offer something they can take to a committee. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{category}}`. ### Email 1: supplies or devices, to supply chain[#](#email-1-supplies-or-devices-to-supply-chain) ``` Subject: {{product}} evaluation for {{business}} Hello, I'm with [Company]. We supply {{product}} to hospitals in {{state}}, and our customers report [one specific, provable outcome]. Could you tell me how {{business}} reviews new products in this category, and whether there's a vendor registration I should complete first? I can send the evidence summary and pricing your value analysis team would need. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not the right person? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email 1: services, to facilities or a department lead[#](#email-1-services-to-facilities-or-a-department-lead) ``` Subject: [service] for {{business}} Hello, We provide [service] to {{category}} sites around {{city}}, with [response time] and references from [type of facility]. Is it worth a 15-minute call to see whether we'd fit your next contract cycle? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` Only state outcomes you can document. A value analysis committee will ask for the source. ## How should I follow up with a hospital?[#](#how-should-i-follow-up-with-a-hospital) Follow up four to six times over six to eight weeks, mixing email and phone, and move to the process the hospital tells you about as soon as it does. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Week | Step | | --- | --- | | 1 | Email supply chain and the department lead separately | | 2 | Call the switchboard, ask for supply chain, confirm the right contact | | 3 | Send the one-page evidence summary or references | | 4 | Complete vendor registration if required | | 6 | Ask about the next value analysis or contract review date | | 8 | Last note, then add to a quarterly check-in list | Keep a [suppression list](https://leadraft.co/glossary/suppression-list) of anyone who says no. The [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers sending setup and volume. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to hospitals?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-hospitals) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to a hospital's business lines are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones. Healthcare vendors also have rules about what they may offer clinicians and buyers, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, and hospitals have their own vendor and gift policies. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: every hospital in Texas[#](#worked-example-every-hospital-in-texas) The Census Bureau counted 491 general medical and surgical hospital establishments with paid employees in Texas in 2023 (NAICS 622110). A Google Maps search will return more listings than that, because departments, freestanding ERs and specialty hospitals have their own listings. Use the Census count as a rough size. Assumptions, for illustration only: about 1,200 hospital-related listings across Texas after deduplication, about 500 of them actual hospitals once you remove departments, and up to five emails each. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Hospital-related listings | from the search (assumed) | about 1,200 | | Business credits | one per listing, charged once ever | about 1,200 | | Checked emails taken out | two per hospital for about 500 hospitals (assumed) | about 1,000 | | Plan | Starter: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month | $19 | The whole state fits on the Starter plan at $19 a month. If you add clinics and urgent care centers (Texas had 21,500 physician offices and 1,149 freestanding ambulatory surgical and emergency centers with employees in 2023), Growth at $49 a month gives 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails. Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build hospital lists by hand, Leadraft finds every hospital inside the territory you draw, with checked emails from each hospital's own website. Try it on your territory on the free plan, or see the columns on [the hospital lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/hospitals). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to hospitals?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-hospitals) Find out whether the hospital is independent or part of a health system, whether it buys your category through a group purchasing organization (GPO) contract, and who uses your product. Then approach supply chain (purchasing or materials management) and the clinical or department lead together, register as a vendor, and be ready for a value analysis review with evidence, pricing and references. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at a hospital?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-a-hospital) For supplies and equipment, the supply chain or materials management department runs purchasing, often with a value analysis committee that reviews new products with clinicians. Department heads and physicians drive demand. Large capital purchases go to executives and sometimes the board. In a health system, many contracts are signed at system level, not by one hospital. ### What is a GPO in healthcare?[#](#what-is-a-gpo-in-healthcare) A group purchasing organization negotiates contracts for medical products and services on behalf of its member hospitals and other providers. GAO describes GPOs as purchasing intermediaries funded mainly by administrative fees paid by vendors, which are allowed under a safe harbor to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. ### How many hospitals are there in the US?[#](#how-many-hospitals-are-there-in-the-us) The American Hospital Association counts about 6,100 hospitals in the US, including 5,121 community hospitals, of which 3,567 are part of a system (2024 AHA Annual Survey). The Census Bureau counted 5,777 general medical and surgical hospital establishments with paid employees in 2023. ### Is it easier to sell to small hospitals?[#](#is-it-easier-to-sell-to-small-hospitals) Often, yes. Independent and rural hospitals have shorter chains of approval and fewer layers between you and the buyer, though their budgets are smaller. Hospitals in large systems may need a system-level contract before any one facility can buy. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To sell to hotels, list every hotel and motel in your area, separate the independents (who decide locally) from branded and managed properties (who follow brand standards or a management company's vendor list), and contact the general manager or the department head who owns your product. Lead with one result in hotel terms: rooms back in service faster, lower cost per occupied room, more direct bookings or better review scores. Reach them mid-morning on a weekday, after checkouts and before check-ins. ## What do hotels buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-hotels-buy-and-who-decides) Hotels buy linens and guest amenities, furniture and renovation, maintenance and repairs, technology, marketing, food and beverage, cleaning and laundry, staffing and insurance. Each department head usually controls a budget; the general manager approves anything large; owners and management companies set the frame. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Decision maker | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | | Linens, towels, guest amenities | Executive housekeeper, GM | Cost per occupied room, durability, delivery | | Laundry and cleaning services | Executive housekeeper, GM | Turnaround, quality, rooms ready on time | | HVAC, plumbing, electrical, elevators, pools | Chief engineer or director of maintenance | Rooms back in service, response time | | Furniture, renovation, flooring | Owner, GM, asset manager | Scheduling around occupancy, brand compliance | | Booking engine, PMS, revenue tools | GM, owner, revenue manager | Direct bookings, less commission | | Marketing, website, reviews, photography | Director of sales and marketing, GM | Direct bookings, review scores | | Group, wedding and event business | Director of sales | Filling meeting space and room blocks | | Food, beverage, kitchen equipment | F&B director, executive chef | Menu cost, reliability | | Staffing | GM, department heads | Covering housekeeping and front desk | **Independents, brands and management companies.** Independent hotels and motels decide locally, and at a small property the owner may also be the GM. Branded (franchised) hotels must meet brand standards for many purchases, from bedding to software, so check whether your product is approved for the brand. Many hotels are operated by third-party management companies that run purchasing across several properties; if you sell something they buy centrally, the management company is the account. The hotel's website footer often names the brand or the operator. **Hotels sell events too.** Many hotels have meeting rooms and ballrooms and compete with event venues for weddings and conferences. If you sell event services (AV, rentals, florals, photography), list hotels and [event venues](https://leadraft.co/leads/event-venues) together. For a sense of scale, the American Hotel & Lodging Association projects direct hotel operations employment of about 2.2 million in 2026. ## How do I build a list of hotels?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-hotels) Search Google Maps by lodging type across your area, split into pieces, then segment the export. 1. **Search each lodging type.** "Hotel", "motel", "inn", "resort hotel", "extended stay hotel", "bed & breakfast", "lodge", "guest house" and "hostel" are all Maps categories. Add "boutique hotel" as a search term. 2. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search returns about 120 results. Split a metro by neighborhood or ZIP code, and cover highway exits and airport areas where motels cluster. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates.** 4. **Separate brands from independents.** Sort by business name: brand names repeat. There's no brand flag on Maps, so this is a spreadsheet step. 5. **Segment:** - **category**: hotel vs motel vs B&B vs extended stay. Amenity and linen needs differ. - **reviews**: the best size proxy. A hotel with 3,000 reviews has many more rooms or guests than one with 80. - **rating**: a low rating with complaints about cleanliness or maintenance is a pitch for housekeeping, laundry and repair services; a high one is a hotel that protects its standards. - **website**: independents with weak sites lose bookings to online travel agencies, which is a web and booking-engine pitch. - **emails with role and source**: hotels publish sales@, events@, reservations@ and gm@ addresses. Use the role to reach the right department. The [hotel lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/hotels) has the search terms and fields in one place. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I pitch to a hotel?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-a-hotel) Pitch in the numbers hotel managers report on: occupancy, average daily rate, cost per occupied room, review scores and rooms out of order. - **Linens and amenities:** cost per occupied room and how long items last. Offer samples for one floor. - **Maintenance trades:** a room out of order is lost revenue every night. Lead with response time and after-hours coverage. - **Booking and website:** independents pay commission on bookings through online travel agencies. Pitch more direct bookings, with numbers you can document. - **Marketing and reviews:** compare their review score with nearby hotels in the same category. - **Renovation and furniture:** schedule work in the slow season and floor by floor to keep rooms selling. - **Event services:** go to the director of sales with a package for weddings and meetings they already host. ## When is the best time to contact hotels?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-hotels) Mid-morning to early afternoon on weekdays, between checkouts and check-ins, and in the slow season for anything big. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Time | What's happening | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | 7 to 10 a.m. | Breakfast, checkouts | Don't call | | 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Department heads in the office | Best for calls and drop-ins | | 3 to 6 p.m. | Check-ins | Don't call | | Peak season for that market | Full house, short staff | Short emails only | | Slow season | Budgets, renovation planning, vendor reviews | Pitch larger projects and contracts | These are common patterns, not measured results. Beach, ski, business and highway hotels have different seasons, so set timing by market. **Gatekeepers.** The front desk serves guests first. Ask for the department by role: "Could you connect me with your executive housekeeper?" or "What's the best email for your chief engineer?" Hotels are used to vendor calls and usually route them. ## What should my email to a hotel say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-a-hotel-say) Name the department, give one specific result, and offer a small trial. Double-brace fields are columns from the export. ``` Subject: rooms back in service faster at {{business}} Hi there, We handle [HVAC / plumbing / PTAC] repairs for hotels around {{city}} with same-day response, so out-of-order rooms are back on sale quickly. We work around occupancy and invoice per work order. Could I send our rate sheet and certificate of insurance to your chief engineer? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For linens or amenities: ``` Subject: towels and linens for {{business}} Hi there, I supply linens and guest amenities to {{category}} properties around {{city}}. I'd like to send samples for one floor so your housekeeping team can compare quality and cost per room. Who's the best person to send them to? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How often should I follow up with hotels?[#](#how-often-should-i-follow-up-with-hotels) Three follow-ups over three weeks, then quarterly. Hotel department heads change jobs often, so check the contact before each new campaign. 1. **Day 1:** first email. 2. **Day 4:** "Did this reach the right department, or should I write to someone else?" 3. **Day 10:** something useful: samples, a rate sheet, a short comparison. 4. **Day 21:** a polite close, and a note in your CRM for the slow season. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to hotels?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-hotels) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: every hotel and motel in Texas[#](#worked-example-every-hotel-and-motel-in-texas) Texas has 5,643 hotel and motel establishments with paid employees, excluding casino hotels (Census County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 721110), second only to California.

Lead with one result in hotel terms, such as rooms back in service faster, lower cost per occupied room, more direct bookings or better guest reviews. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at a hotel?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-a-hotel) At a small independent hotel or motel, the owner or general manager decides. At larger hotels, department heads choose within their budget: the executive housekeeper for linens and amenities, the chief engineer or director of maintenance for repairs and equipment, the director of sales for group and marketing tools, and the F&B director for kitchen and bar. Branded hotels follow brand standards, and hotels run by a management company may buy through it. ### When is the best time to contact a hotel?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-a-hotel) Mid-morning to early afternoon on weekdays, after the checkout rush and before afternoon check-ins. Avoid the peak season for that market. The slower season is when hotels plan renovations, budgets and vendor changes. These are common patterns, not measured results. ### How do I find a list of hotels in my area?[#](#how-do-i-find-a-list-of-hotels-in-my-area) Search Google Maps for hotel, motel, inn, extended stay hotel, resort hotel and bed and breakfast in each part of your area, since one search returns about 120 results. Export with phone, website, rating, reviews and emails from each hotel's own website, then sort by name to separate brands from independents. ### How many hotels are there in the US?[#](#how-many-hotels-are-there-in-the-us) County Business Patterns 2023 counts 55,895 hotel and motel establishments with paid employees, excluding casino hotels (NAICS 721110).

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell to medical practices: independents, practice managers and what they buy Sell to medical practices and clinics: who decides, how to find the independent ones, what to pitch practice managers, when to call, and email scripts that fit. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To sell to medical practices, list every practice of the specialties you serve inside your territory, separate the independent practices from the ones owned by hospitals or larger groups, and reach the practice manager with one outcome they already measure: staff time, collections, no-shows or new patients. Independent practices can say yes locally; system-owned practices usually can't. Google Maps lists nearly every practice with its specialty, hours, website and reviews, so you can see which ones fit before you call. ## What do medical practices buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-medical-practices-buy-and-who-decides) Medical practices buy software, billing services, supplies, marketing, IT and facility services. The practice manager or administrator runs most vendor decisions at an independent practice; the physician owners approve anything clinical or costly. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Who decides (independent practice) | At a hospital-owned or group practice | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | EHR, practice management, patient messaging | Practice manager with the physician owners | Central IT and operations | Staff time, fewer no-shows | | Billing, coding, revenue cycle | Practice manager, billing manager | Central revenue cycle | Days in accounts receivable, denials | | Medical and office supplies | Practice manager or lead medical assistant | Central purchasing | Price, delivery, fewer stockouts | | Marketing, websites, reviews | Physician owner, practice manager | Central marketing | New patients in their specialty | | IT, phones, cybersecurity | Practice manager | Central IT | Downtime, backups, security | | Staffing, credentialing | Practice manager | Central HR | Open shifts filled, time to credential | | Cleaning, waste, repairs | Practice manager | Facilities | Reliability, after-hours work | The market has been shifting toward employed physicians. The AMA's Physician Practice Benchmark Survey found that 42.2% of physicians were in private practice in 2024, down from 60.1% in 2012, while 34.5% worked in hospital-owned practices. In the same survey, 47.4% of physicians worked in practices with 10 or fewer physicians. Small independent practices are still a large market, but a list that doesn't mark ownership will waste calls on offices that can't buy. ## Which medical practices should I target?[#](#which-medical-practices-should-i-target) Target the specialties your product fits, then the independents among them. Specialties buy differently: an orthopedic group wants imaging and physical therapy referrals, a pediatric practice wants vaccine storage and well-visit recall, a dermatology practice may run cosmetic services too. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Specialty | Google Maps search terms | Industry page | | --- | --- | --- | | Primary care | "family practice physician", "primary care physician", "internal medicine", "medical clinic", "walk-in clinic" | [Medical clinics](https://leadraft.co/leads/medical-clinics) | | Pediatrics | "pediatrician", "pediatric clinic" | [Medical clinics](https://leadraft.co/leads/medical-clinics) | | Specialists | "dermatologist", "cardiologist", "gastroenterologist", "obgyn", "orthopedic surgeon", "ENT doctor" | [Medical clinics](https://leadraft.co/leads/medical-clinics) | | Chiropractic | "chiropractor", "chiropractic clinic" | [Chiropractors](https://leadraft.co/leads/chiropractors) | | Physical therapy | "physical therapy clinic", "physical therapist", "sports medicine clinic" | [Physical therapists](https://leadraft.co/leads/physical-therapists) | | Urgent care | "urgent care", "urgent care center" | [Urgent care centers](https://leadraft.co/leads/urgent-care-centers) | Chiropractors and physical therapists are often owner-run with a small team, so the owner is usually the buyer and the cycle is short. Primary care and specialist practices vary more: many are now part of larger groups. ## How do I build a list of medical practices?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-medical-practices) Search Google Maps for each specialty term across your territory, merge the results, and mark the ones that belong to hospitals or groups. 1. **Draw the territory.** A city, county, ZIP codes, or a shape around the area your team covers. 2. **Search each specialty.** Use the terms in the table. "Doctor" alone is too broad and returns hospitals and departments. 3. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results; split a metro by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Check the category.** Useful Google Maps categories include Medical clinic, Family practice physician, Internist, Pediatrician, Dermatologist, Obstetrician-gynecologist, Orthopedic surgeon, Chiropractor and Physical therapy clinic. 5. **Mark ownership.** Sort by website domain. A practice whose website sits on a hospital or health system domain is usually owned by it. A practice on its own domain is more likely independent, though not always. 6. **Remove individual doctor listings** if you sell to the practice, not the physician. Many doctors have their own Maps profile at the same address as the practice. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## How do I segment practices with the list's columns?[#](#how-do-i-segment-practices-with-the-lists-columns) Filter on the columns that match your offer, so each practice gets a message that fits it. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Filter | Who it's for | | --- | --- | --- | | `category` | One specialty | Specialty-specific software, supplies, marketing | | `website` domain | Own domain vs hospital domain | Separates likely independents | | `website` | Empty or dated | Web design and patient-acquisition agencies | | `reviews`, `rating` | Few reviews or below 4.3 | Reputation and review tools | | `hours` | Evening or weekend hours | Answering services, staffing, online booking | | `email` role and source | A practice manager, billing or office address | Software, billing and supply pitches | | `in_area` | True | Keeps the list to your territory | ## What should I pitch a practice manager?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-a-practice-manager) Pitch one number the practice manager already tracks. They run the schedule, the front desk, billing and vendors, and they hear from many sellers. - **Software:** staff hours saved per week, fewer no-shows, faster check-in. Say how you handle patient data before they ask. - **Billing and revenue cycle:** days in accounts receivable and denial rates. Offer a no-cost review of a sample of their claims, if you can do that within the rules. - **Supplies:** price against what they pay now, and delivery reliability. Offer a quote on their top 20 items. - **Marketing:** new patients in their specialty and town. Show one observation about their own listing or website. - **Services:** reliability and after-hours work so patient hours aren't disrupted.

For calls, try mid-morning after the first appointments are checked in, or mid-afternoon, Tuesday through Thursday. Opening time, lunch and Monday mornings are when the front desk is busiest with patients. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Contact | Better | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Call | 10 to 11:30 a.m., 2 to 4 p.m. | Opening, lunch, Monday morning, last hour | | Walk in | Mid-afternoon, with a card and a one-page sheet | When the waiting room is full | | Email | Any weekday | Nothing in particular | These windows are common practice, not measured results; adjust with the `hours` column. **The front desk is the gatekeeper.** Ask who handles your area ("Who manages your billing vendors?"), ask for the practice manager's email or best time, and keep it short. Never ask for or mention patient information. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Under 100 words, about their practice, with a small next step. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{category}}`, `{{rating}}`, `{{reviews}}`. ### Email 1: software or services[#](#email-1-software-or-services) ``` Subject: front-desk time at {{business}} Hi there, I work with {{category}} practices around {{city}} on [specific job, e.g. appointment reminders and intake forms]. Most offices we talk to spend [X] on this by phone today. Is it worth 15 minutes to see if we'd save your team time? We sign a business associate agreement before touching any patient data.

Add a call to the front desk in the middle. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Day | Step | | --- | --- | | 1 | First email to the practice manager or office address | | 4 | Follow-up with one new detail | | 8 | Call: confirm the practice manager's name and best time | | 14 | Follow-up: the offer again, smaller (a quote, a two-minute video) | | 21 | Last note, then stop | ## What rules apply to cold outreach to medical practices?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-medical-practices) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. HIPAA governs patient information; if your product will handle it, expect a business associate agreement. Calls to a practice's business line are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones. Healthcare vendors also need to know the federal Anti-Kickback Statute if anything you offer relates to referrals or federally funded care. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: physician practices in Florida[#](#worked-example-physician-practices-in-florida) The Census Bureau counted 19,994 offices of physicians (excluding mental health specialists) with paid employees in Florida in 2023 (NAICS 621111), plus 2,937 chiropractic offices and 4,399 physical, occupational and speech therapy offices. A Google Maps list will not match exactly: Maps adds individual doctor profiles and drops practices without a listing. Assumptions, for illustration only: you sell to primary care and pediatric practices in three metros, about 4,000 practices after deduplication, about half of them independent, and about half of those with a checked email. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Practices in the three metros | from the search (assumed) | about 4,000 | | Business credits | one per practice, charged once ever | about 4,000 | | Independent practices | own website domain (assumed half) | about 2,000 | | Checked emails taken out | half of those (assumed) | about 1,000 | | Plan | Starter: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month | $19 | If you go statewide across every specialty, about 27,000 practices with up to 5,000 checked emails a month fits the Growth plan at $49 a month (100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails). Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and practices outside your area are never charged. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build practice lists by hand, Leadraft finds every practice of the specialties you choose inside your territory, with checked emails from each practice's own website. Try it on the free plan, or see the columns on the [medical clinic lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/medical-clinics). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to medical practices?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-medical-practices) List every practice of the specialties you serve inside your territory, separate independent practices from hospital-owned ones, and contact the practice manager with one outcome they already track: staff time, collections, no-shows or new patients. Make the next step small, follow up three or four times, and be ready to explain how you handle patient data. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at a medical practice?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-a-medical-practice) At an independent practice, the practice manager or administrator runs most vendor decisions, and the physician owners approve anything clinical or expensive. At a hospital-owned or private equity-owned practice, many purchases are decided centrally, so the local office may only be able to recommend. ### What share of physicians are in private practice?[#](#what-share-of-physicians-are-in-private-practice) The AMA's Physician Practice Benchmark Survey found that 42.2% of physicians were in private practice in 2024, down from 60.1% in 2012, while 34.5% worked in hospital-owned practices. That's why separating independents from system-owned practices is the first step in any medical practice list. ### When is the best time to call a doctor's office?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-call-a-doctors-office) Mid-morning after the first appointments, or mid-afternoon, on Tuesday to Thursday. Avoid opening time, the lunch hour and Monday mornings, when the front desk handles the most patient calls. Check each practice's listed hours first. ### Do I need a business associate agreement to sell to a practice?[#](#do-i-need-a-business-associate-agreement-to-sell-to-a-practice) Only if your product or service will create, receive, keep or send patient health information on the practice's behalf. Emailing the practice about your product doesn't need one. If you will handle patient data, expect the practice to ask for a business associate agreement under HIPAA. This isn't legal advice. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell to nursing homes and assisted living: administrators, nursing and timing Sell to nursing homes and assisted living: who decides, independent vs multi-facility operators, how to list every facility in your area, timing and scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To sell to nursing homes and assisted living, list every facility in your territory, separate the independents from the ones run by multi-facility operators, and contact the administrator with a pitch tied to what they're measured on: staffing, resident care, inspection results and occupancy. Bring the director of nursing in for anything clinical. Facilities are easy to find on Google Maps, and the administrator is usually on site, so a local, specific approach works better here than in most of healthcare. ## Who decides at a nursing home or assisted living community?[#](#who-decides-at-a-nursing-home-or-assisted-living-community) The administrator runs the building and approves most vendors. The director of nursing owns clinical decisions. Department heads recommend what their teams use. At facilities owned by a larger operator, the regional or corporate office sets many contracts. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Role | What they decide | What they care about | | --- | --- | --- | | Administrator (nursing home) or executive director (assisted living) | Most vendors, budgets, services | Occupancy, staffing, inspections, cost | | Director of nursing | Clinical supplies, nursing software, therapy and pharmacy partners | Resident outcomes, nursing hours, compliance | | Maintenance or facilities director | Repairs, HVAC, life safety, generators | Inspections, uptime | | Dietary or food service manager | Food, kitchen equipment, dietary software | Resident satisfaction, cost per meal | | Housekeeping and laundry supervisor | Cleaning supplies, linen, laundry | Infection control, staff time | | Activities director | Programs, entertainment, activity tools | Resident engagement | | Business office manager | Billing, payroll, software | Collections, accuracy | | Admissions or marketing director | Marketing, referral tools | Occupancy, referrals from hospitals | | Regional or corporate office (multi-facility operators) | Contracts across buildings | Standardization, price | Nursing homes are regulated closely. CMS says skilled nursing facilities and nursing facilities must comply with the requirements in 42 CFR Part 483, Subpart B to receive Medicare or Medicaid payment, and that state surveys of these facilities are not announced in advance. That shapes what they buy: anything that helps them pass a survey, document care or keep staff gets attention. Assisted living is regulated by states, not by that federal rule, and it buys more like a residential community. Dining, activities, move-in marketing and occupancy weigh more than clinical products. ## Independent or multi-facility operator: who can buy?[#](#independent-or-multi-facility-operator-who-can-buy) Find out who owns the building before you pitch. Independent facilities, and small operators with two or three buildings, decide locally. Larger operators set contracts for food, supplies, pharmacy, therapy and software centrally, so the local administrator can recommend you but may not be able to sign. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Situation | Who to approach | What to expect | | --- | --- | --- | | Independent facility | Administrator, director of nursing | Local decision, short cycle | | Small operator (2 to 10 buildings) | Owner or regional director, plus one administrator as a sponsor | One yes can cover several buildings | | Large operator | Corporate purchasing or operations | Longer cycle; local staff recommend | | Assisted living community | Executive director | Local decisions on services and marketing | There's no ownership column on a Google Maps listing. The quickest proxy is the website domain: facilities that share one domain usually share one operator. ## How do I build a list of nursing homes and assisted living facilities?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-nursing-homes-and-assisted-living-facilities) Search Google Maps for every senior care term across your territory, merge the results and mark the operators. 1. **Draw the territory.** A county, a set of ZIP codes, or a shape around the area your team or trucks can reach. 2. **Search several terms.** For nursing homes: "nursing home", "skilled nursing facility", "rehabilitation center", "long term care facility". For assisted living: "assisted living facility", "memory care", "senior living community", "retirement community", "residential care home". 3. **Check categories.** Google Maps categories include Nursing home, Assisted living facility, Retirement home, Senior citizen center and Rehabilitation center. Rehabilitation center also catches outpatient rehab and addiction treatment, so read the names. 4. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results, so split large areas. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 5. **Mark operators.** Sort by website domain and by name patterns. 6. **Add home health** if you also serve care at home. Home health agencies buy similar products and services. See [home health agency leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/home-health-agencies). The [nursing home lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/nursing-homes) and the [assisted living lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/assisted-living-facilities) show the full search terms and columns. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## How do I segment senior care facilities with the list's columns?[#](#how-do-i-segment-senior-care-facilities-with-the-lists-columns) Use the columns to separate facility types, find likely operators and pick the right contact. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Use | | --- | --- | | `category` | Separate nursing homes from assisted living, memory care and senior centers | | `website` domain | Group facilities into operators | | `reviews`, `rating` | Family reviews say a lot about care and service; a low rating can mean a reputation or staffing problem you might help with | | `email` role and source | An administrator, admissions or HR address beats a general inbox | | `phone` | Ask the front desk for the administrator or the department head you need | | `in_area` | Keeps the list to your territory | ## What should I pitch a nursing home?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-a-nursing-home) Tie the pitch to staffing, survey readiness, resident outcomes or occupancy. Administrators are stretched, and a product that saves nursing time or helps at inspection time gets heard. - **Clinical supplies and devices:** lead with staff time and resident outcomes, with evidence. Involve the director of nursing early. - **Software (EHR, scheduling, documentation):** lead with nursing hours saved and documentation that holds up at survey. Expect questions about resident data and a business associate agreement. - **Staffing:** lead with how fast you fill open shifts and the credentials your staff carry. - **Facility services (HVAC, generators, fire and life safety, laundry, cleaning):** lead with uptime, response times and inspection readiness. A state surveyor completes a Life Safety Code survey before certification, so maintenance directors listen to anything that helps with it. - **Food and dining:** lead with resident satisfaction and cost per meal. Bring samples. - **Marketing (mostly assisted living):** lead with move-ins and tours booked. ## When is the best time to reach an administrator?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-an-administrator) Mid-morning or early afternoon, Tuesday through Thursday, after morning care and the daily department meeting. Avoid meal times, shift changes (often early morning, mid-afternoon and late evening) and weeks when the facility is in survey. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Contact | Better | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Call | 10 to 11:30 a.m., 1:30 to 3 p.m. | Meal times, shift changes | | Visit | Pre-arranged, mid-morning | Unannounced visits during care or survey | | Email | Any weekday | Nothing in particular | These windows are common practice, not measured results. **The receptionist is the gatekeeper,** and in a care setting they protect residents' privacy. Ask for the administrator or the right department head by role, ask how they prefer to meet vendors, and never ask about residents. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Under 100 words, about their facility, with one small next step. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{category}}`. ### Email 1: services, to the administrator[#](#email-1-services-to-the-administrator) ``` Subject: [service] for {{business}} Hello, We work with {{category}} communities around {{city}} on [service]. [One specific, provable outcome, e.g. "same-day response on resident-room repairs"]. Would a 15-minute call make sense, or is there a department head I should speak with instead? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not the right person? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email 1: staffing, to the director of nursing[#](#email-1-staffing-to-the-director-of-nursing) ``` Subject: open shifts at {{business}} Hello, We place [CNAs / LPNs / RNs] with nursing homes around {{city}}. If you have shifts you can't fill this month, I can send profiles of available staff with their credentials, so you can see whether we'd help before committing to anything. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How should I follow up?[#](#how-should-i-follow-up) Four or five touches over four to six weeks, mixing email, a call and, once invited, a visit. Senior care runs on relationships, and administrators often buy from people they've met. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Week | Step | | --- | --- | | 1 | Email the administrator and the relevant department head | | 2 | Call: confirm the right contact and how they meet vendors | | 3 | Send references from nearby facilities or a one-page case | | 4 | Offer a short visit or trial | | 6 | Last note, then a quarterly check-in | ## What rules apply to outreach to nursing homes?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-outreach-to-nursing-homes) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to business lines are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones. If your product will handle resident health information, HIPAA applies and the facility will expect a business associate agreement. Vendors to facilities that bill Medicare or Medicaid should also know the federal Anti-Kickback Statute if anything relates to referrals. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: senior care in Ohio[#](#worked-example-senior-care-in-ohio) The Census Bureau counted, in Ohio in 2023: 961 nursing care facility establishments with paid employees (NAICS 623110), 379 assisted living facilities for the elderly (623312) and 1,729 home health care establishments (621610). That's 3,069 together. A Google Maps list will not match exactly, because Maps includes small residential care homes, senior centers and listings for therapy wings, and drops places without a listing. Assumptions, for illustration only: about 3,500 listings across Ohio after deduplication, and two checked emails taken out for each of 1,000 facilities. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Senior care listings in Ohio | from the search (assumed) | about 3,500 | | Business credits | one per facility, charged once ever | about 3,500 | | Checked emails taken out | 2 each for 1,000 facilities (assumed) | about 2,000 | | Plan | Growth: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 | If you only need nursing homes in a few counties, the Starter plan at $19 a month covers 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and listings outside your area are never charged. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build senior care lists by hand, Leadraft finds every nursing home and assisted living community inside the territory you draw, with checked emails from each facility's own website. Try it on the free plan, or see the columns on the [nursing home lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/nursing-homes). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to nursing homes?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-nursing-homes) List every nursing home and assisted living community in your territory, separate independents from facilities run by multi-facility operators, and contact the administrator with a pitch tied to what they're measured on: staffing, resident care, inspection results and occupancy. Bring the director of nursing in for anything clinical, and expect a short trial or references before a contract. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at a nursing home?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-a-nursing-home) The administrator runs the building and approves most vendors. The director of nursing decides on clinical products and anything that affects nursing staff. Department heads (maintenance, dietary, housekeeping, activities, business office) recommend in their own areas. At facilities owned by a larger operator, many contracts are set by the regional or corporate office. ### How many nursing homes are there in the US?[#](#how-many-nursing-homes-are-there-in-the-us) The CDC's National Center for Health Statistics counted about 14,700 nursing homes in 2022, with 1.6 million licensed beds and 1.2 million residents. The Census Bureau counted 18,126 nursing care facility establishments with paid employees and 20,884 assisted living facilities for the elderly with paid employees in 2023. ### What is the difference between selling to nursing homes and assisted living?[#](#what-is-the-difference-between-selling-to-nursing-homes-and-assisted-living) Nursing homes that take Medicare or Medicaid must meet federal requirements in 42 CFR Part 483 and face unannounced state inspections, so compliance and clinical care drive buying. Assisted living is regulated by states, serves residents who need less medical care, and buys more like a residential community: dining, activities, marketing and occupancy matter more. ### When is the best time to contact a nursing home administrator?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-a-nursing-home-administrator) Mid-morning or early afternoon on Tuesday to Thursday, after morning care and the daily stand-up meeting. Avoid meal times, shift changes and any week when the facility is in its state survey. Email works any weekday. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell to pharmacies: independents vs chains, the owner-pharmacist and timing Sell to pharmacies: why independents are the market you can reach, who decides, how to list every pharmacy in your area and drop chains, timing and scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To sell to pharmacies, focus on independent pharmacies, because chain stores buy through corporate and the store can't sign. List every pharmacy in your territory, remove the chain locations, and contact the owner-pharmacist or pharmacy manager with one clear benefit: margin, staff time, a new clinical service or more front-end sales. Independents are owner-run and reachable, and nearly every one has a Google Maps listing with hours, phone and website. ## Independent pharmacies vs chains: who can you sell to?[#](#independent-pharmacies-vs-chains-who-can-you-sell-to) Independent pharmacies decide locally; chain pharmacies don't. NCPA's 2024 Digest estimated 18,984 independent community pharmacies as of June 2024, down from 19,432 a year earlier, and said independents make up about 35% of US retail pharmacies. The rest are chain stores, supermarket pharmacies and mass-merchant pharmacies, whose buying runs through head office. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Pharmacy type | Who decides | Can the store buy from you? | | --- | --- | --- | | Single-store independent | Owner, usually the pharmacist in charge | Yes | | Multi-store independent (2 to 10 stores) | Owner or a central buyer | Yes, often for all stores | | Compounding or specialty independent | Owner, lead pharmacist | Yes, with specific product needs | | Chain drugstore | Corporate category managers | Rarely | | Supermarket or mass-merchant pharmacy | Corporate | Rarely | | Hospital or clinic pharmacy | Hospital supply chain | Through the hospital, not the store | Many independents also belong to buying groups or franchise-style networks for wholesale contracts and services. Ask early whether a network relationship covers what you sell; it can help or block you. ## What do independent pharmacies buy?[#](#what-do-independent-pharmacies-buy) Independent pharmacies buy dispensary software and equipment, front-end merchandise, clinical service programs, marketing and business services. The owner signs, and the front-end manager often chooses retail products. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Decision maker | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | | Pharmacy management software, automation, packaging | Owner, pharmacy manager | Staff time per prescription, errors avoided | | Front-end merchandise (OTC, gifts, wellness) | Owner, front-end manager | Margin per square foot, turns | | Clinical services (vaccines, testing, adherence programs) | Owner-pharmacist | New revenue that payers or patients will pay for | | Delivery, POS, payments | Owner | Fees, delivery speed | | Marketing, websites, reviews | Owner | New patients transferring prescriptions | | Relief pharmacists, technicians | Owner | Shifts covered, credentials | | Compounding supplies and equipment | Lead compounding pharmacist | Quality, compliance | | Fixtures, signage, store design | Owner | Front-end sales | If you sell consumer products to stores, [how to get stores to sell your product](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-stores-to-sell-your-product) covers samples, terms and sell-through. ## How do I build a list of independent pharmacies?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-independent-pharmacies) Search Google Maps for every pharmacy term across your territory, merge the results, then remove the chains by name. 1. **Draw the territory.** A metro, a few counties, or a shape around the area your reps or delivery routes cover. 2. **Search several terms.** "Pharmacy", "drugstore", "independent pharmacy", "compounding pharmacy", "specialty pharmacy", "apothecary". Add "medical supply store" if you sell durable medical equipment. 3. **Check categories.** The main Google Maps categories are Pharmacy, Drug store and Compounding pharmacy. Medical supply store catches equipment sellers; keep it only if they fit. 4. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results; a metro has more pharmacies than that. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 5. **Remove chains.** Group by website domain: chain and supermarket pharmacies share one corporate domain across many stores, while an independent has its own domain or none. Then sort by name to catch the rest. What's left is mostly independent. 6. **Keep small groups.** Two to five stores under one name are often a single independent owner. Treat them as one account. The [pharmacy lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/pharmacies) shows the full set of search terms and the columns you get. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## How do I segment pharmacies with the list's columns?[#](#how-do-i-segment-pharmacies-with-the-lists-columns) Filter on the columns that match your offer. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Filter | Who it's for | | --- | --- | --- | | `website` domain, `business` | Shared domains and repeat names removed | Keeps the list to independents | | `hours` | Open late, open Sundays | Staffing, delivery, after-hours services | | `website` | Empty or a basic page | Web design, refill apps, marketing | | `reviews` | High count | Bigger store, more volume; useful for merchandise and automation | | `rating` | Below 4.3 | Reputation and patient-experience offers | | `email` role and source | An owner, manager or store address | Better than a general refill inbox | | `in_area` | True | Keeps the list to your territory | ## What should I pitch an independent pharmacy?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-an-independent-pharmacy) Pitch margin, staff time or a new revenue line. Independent owners are under pressure on reimbursement, so anything that adds revenue outside the dispensing fee, or saves a technician's hours, gets attention. - **Software and automation:** prescriptions filled per technician hour, fewer errors, faster pickups. Offer a demo on their own workflow. - **Clinical services:** what the program pays and what it takes to run. Owners want the numbers. - **Front-end merchandise:** margin, minimum order, and whether you take back what doesn't sell. - **Marketing:** prescription transfers and new patients, with one observation about their own listing. - **Staffing:** relief pharmacists for vacations and sick days, with credentials and licensure in their state. ## When is the best time to reach a pharmacy owner?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-a-pharmacy-owner) Early to mid-afternoon on Tuesday through Thursday. Mornings bring refill calls and opening tasks; late afternoon and early evening bring the after-work pickup rush; Mondays tend to be busy after the weekend. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Contact | Better | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Call | 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Tuesday to Thursday | Opening, lunch, 4 to 7 p.m., Monday | | Visit | Early afternoon, with a short sheet | When there's a line at pickup | | Email | Any weekday | Nothing in particular | These windows are common practice, not measured results; use each pharmacy's `hours` to adjust. Many independents close earlier than chains and some close on Sundays. **The technician at the counter is the gatekeeper.** Ask for the owner or the pharmacist in charge by role, ask when they're least busy, and offer to leave a card. Never ask about patients or prescriptions. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Under 100 words, one benefit, one small ask.

Calls to a pharmacy's business line are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones. If your product will touch patient information, expect HIPAA questions and a business associate agreement. Vendors to pharmacies that bill Medicare or Medicaid should know the federal Anti-Kickback Statute if anything you offer relates to referrals or prescriptions. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: independent pharmacies in Texas[#](#worked-example-independent-pharmacies-in-texas) The Census Bureau counted 3,146 pharmacy and drug store establishments with paid employees in Texas in 2023 (NAICS 446110), chains included. If Texas matches the national share NCPA reports, about 35% would be independent, roughly 1,100 stores. That's an estimate: the share varies by state. Assumptions, for illustration only: a statewide search returns about 3,500 pharmacy listings after deduplication, you remove the chains to leave about 1,100 independents, and you take out one checked email for most of them. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Pharmacy listings in Texas | from the search (assumed) | about 3,500 | | Business credits | one per pharmacy, charged once ever | about 3,500 | | Independents after removing chains | national 35% share (estimate) | about 1,100 | | Checked emails taken out | about one per independent | up to 1,000 | | Plan | Starter: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month | $19 | The whole state fits on the Starter plan at $19 a month. If you want two or three emails per store, Growth at $49 a month gives 5,000 checked emails. Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and pharmacies outside your territory are never charged. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build pharmacy lists by hand, Leadraft finds every pharmacy inside the territory you draw, with hours and checked emails from each pharmacy's own website.

List every pharmacy in your territory, remove the chain locations, and contact the owner-pharmacist or pharmacy manager with one clear benefit: margin, staff time, new services or front-end sales. Call or visit in the quieter early-afternoon hours, and follow up three or four times. ### How many independent pharmacies are there in the US?[#](#how-many-independent-pharmacies-are-there-in-the-us) NCPA's 2024 Digest estimated 18,984 independent community pharmacies as of June 2024, down from 19,432 in 2023, and said independents make up about 35% of US retail pharmacies. The Census Bureau counted 41,792 pharmacy and drug store establishments with paid employees in 2023, chains included. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at an independent pharmacy?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-an-independent-pharmacy) Usually the owner, who is often the pharmacist in charge. Larger independents may have a pharmacy manager for dispensary products and a front-end manager for retail merchandise. In multi-store independents, the owner or a central buyer decides for all stores. ### Can I sell to CVS or Walgreens stores directly?[#](#can-i-sell-to-cvs-or-walgreens-stores-directly) Not usually at the store level. Chain pharmacies buy merchandise, software and services through corporate category managers and vendor programs, so the store manager can't sign a contract. If chains are your target, work through the company's supplier process instead of a store-by-store list. ### When is the best time to call a pharmacy?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-call-a-pharmacy) Early to mid-afternoon on Tuesday to Thursday, between the morning rush and the after-work pickup peak. Avoid opening, lunch and early evening, and Mondays, which are often busy. Check each pharmacy's listed hours, because many independents close earlier than chains and some close on Sundays. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Playbook To sell to property managers, list every property management company in your service area, sort them by the kind of property they run (apartments, single-family rentals, HOAs and condos, commercial), and contact the manager who hires vendors with everything they need to approve you: a certificate of insurance, a W-9, a price list and your response times. The first goal isn't a big contract. It's getting on the approved vendor list, then doing one job well enough that they call you for the next building. One management company can bring work across many properties, which is why vendors in nearly every trade target them. ## What do property managers buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-property-managers-buy-and-who-decides) Property managers hire vendors for almost everything a building needs, and they do it on behalf of owners. The Bureau of Labor Statistics lists "contract for landscaping, maintenance, trash removal, and other services" among their duties, and notes that they must coordinate multiple contractors at the same time, often for multiple properties. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Who usually decides | What they care about | | --- | --- | --- | | Repairs: plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, locksmith | Property manager, maintenance supervisor | Response time, after-hours coverage, clean invoices | | Turnover: painting, flooring, cleaning, junk removal | Property manager, leasing or maintenance team | Units ready fast between tenants | | Grounds: landscaping, tree care, snow removal, pest control | Property or community manager; board for HOAs | Fixed scope and price, reliability | | Janitorial for common areas and offices | Property manager, commercial facilities manager | Consistency, same crew, checklist | | Software (accounting, maintenance, leasing) | Owner or principal broker, operations director | Fits their portfolio size, integrations | | Insurance, legal, accounting | Principal, owner | Specialization in property management | | Security, access control, cameras | Property manager, board for HOAs | Coverage and cost | **Three kinds of property manager.** _Residential_ managers run apartments and single-family rentals; they buy turnover and repair services in volume. _Community association_ managers run HOAs and condos; they recommend vendors and the volunteer board approves larger contracts. _Commercial_ managers run offices, retail and industrial buildings; they buy janitorial, HVAC maintenance and security under formal contracts. Community associations are a large market on their own. The Foundation for Community Association Research counted about 373,000 community associations in the US in 2025, governed by elected boards of volunteer homeowners. Many hire a management company, so the community manager is your way in. ## How do I build a list of property management companies?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-property-management-companies) Search Google Maps for every term property managers use across your service area, then sort the export by type and size. 1. **Search several terms.** "Property management company" is the main Maps category. Add "apartment rental agency", "real estate rental agency", "homeowners association", "vacation home rental agency", "commercial real estate agency", "HOA management" and "condo management". 2. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search returns about 120 results. A metro has more management companies than that, so split by ZIP code or suburb. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates** and keep only companies inside your service area. 4. **Segment:** - **category**: property management vs HOA vs vacation rentals vs commercial real estate. - **reviews**: management companies get reviews from tenants, so many reviews means many units, even if the rating is low. - **rating**: a low rating can mean slow maintenance. That's an opening for a responsive vendor. - **website**: tells you what they manage (apartments, HOAs, commercial) and often lists a vendor or maintenance contact. - **emails with role and source**: look for maintenance@, vendors@ or ap@ addresses, and use the role to write to maintenance, not leasing. 5. **Add the buildings themselves.** If you sell grounds or janitorial work, also search "apartment complex" and "condominium complex" in your area. The building's listing or website often names the management company. The [property management company list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/property-management-companies) has the search terms and fields in one place. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## What should I pitch to a property manager?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-a-property-manager) Pitch reliability and less work for the manager. Property managers are judged on how fast problems are fixed and how few complaints reach the owner, not on saving a few dollars. - **Make onboarding easy.** Lead with "I can send our certificate of insurance and W-9 today." Many management companies won't assign work to a vendor who isn't fully set up. - **Promise a response time you can keep.** "Same-day response on work orders, 24/7 for emergencies" is a real differentiator for plumbing, water damage, HVAC and locksmith services. - **Offer one trial job.** Ask for their next unit turn, a single repair or one building's monthly service. Earn the portfolio. - **Report the work.** Photos, before-and-after notes and invoices that match the work order save the manager time with owners. - **For HOAs**, bring a written proposal the community manager can put in the board packet, with clear scope and price. - **For software and services sold to the company**, talk to the principal or operations director and lead with portfolio size and the time it saves. ## When is the best time to reach property managers?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-property-managers) Mid-morning on Tuesday to Thursday, and for large service contracts, before the budget is set. Mondays are full of weekend work orders, and the first days of the month are rent collection. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Time | What's happening | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | First few days of the month | Rent collection, delinquencies | Email only | | Monday | Weekend emergencies and work orders | Avoid | | Tuesday to Thursday, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. | Office time | Best for calls and drop-ins | | Late summer and fall (many calendar-year budgets) | Next year's budget and contract reviews | Pitch landscaping, cleaning, snow removal, pest control | | Before HOA board meetings | Packets being prepared | Get proposals to the community manager early | These are common patterns, not measured results. Ask each manager when their contracts renew and put it in your CRM. **Gatekeepers.** The front desk is often a leasing agent or receptionist who handles tenants. Ask, "Who handles vendor onboarding for maintenance?" and "Is there a vendor packet I can fill in?" Many companies have one. ## What should my email to a property manager say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-a-property-manager-say) Say what you do, where, how fast, and offer the paperwork. Double-brace fields are columns from the export. ``` Subject: vendor for {{business}} properties in {{city}} Hi there, We're a [trade] company covering {{city}} and nearby. We respond to work orders the same day, offer 24/7 emergency service, and send photos and an itemized invoice with every job. I can send our certificate of insurance, W-9 and rate sheet today. Is there a vendor packet I should fill in, or someone in maintenance I should send these to? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For HOA and condo managers: ``` Subject: proposal for your community associations Hi there, We handle [landscaping / pest control / pool service] for community associations around {{city}}. If any of your associations is reviewing its contract this year, I'd like to walk the property and send a written proposal you can put in the board packet. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How often should I follow up?[#](#how-often-should-i-follow-up) Follow up three times over three weeks, then keep in light touch quarterly. Property managers often hire a new vendor the day the current one lets them down, and you want to be the name they remember. 1. **Day 1:** first email with the paperwork offer. 2. **Day 4:** one line: "Should I send the COI and W-9 to you or to someone in maintenance?" 3. **Day 10:** something useful: your rate sheet, an emergency contact card, a sample job report. 4. **Day 21:** a polite close. Then a short check-in each quarter. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to property managers?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-property-managers) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: property managers across Florida[#](#worked-example-property-managers-across-florida) Florida has 7,081 real estate property manager establishments with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 53131), behind only California. Small, owner-run firms without employees aren't counted, and HOAs listed on Maps are extra. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Assumption | Count | | --- | --- | --- | | Property managers, Florida | Census 2023 | 7,081 | | Plan for a Maps list of about the same size | for illustration | about 7,000 | | With a checked (Verified) email | assume half | about 3,500 | | Leadraft cost | Growth: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 for the month | Most vendors only serve one metro, not the whole state. A metro with about 1,200 management companies and about 600 checked emails fits the Starter plan at $19 a month (25,000 businesses, 1,000 checked emails). Each business is charged once ever, companies outside your area are shown free, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing).

Make it easy to say yes: a certificate of insurance, a W-9, a clear price list and fast response times. The first goal is to get on the approved vendor list, then win work one building at a time. ### Who hires vendors at a property management company?[#](#who-hires-vendors-at-a-property-management-company) Usually the property manager or portfolio manager for each building, with a maintenance supervisor for repair trades. Larger companies have a vendor or procurement coordinator who handles onboarding and insurance documents. For HOAs and condos, the community manager recommends vendors and the association's volunteer board often approves larger contracts. ### What do property managers look for in a vendor?[#](#what-do-property-managers-look-for-in-a-vendor) Proof of insurance and licensing, quick response to work orders, clear and consistent pricing, clean invoices that match the work order, and photos or reports that show the job was done. Being reachable after hours matters for emergency trades like plumbing, water damage and locksmiths. ### When do property managers choose vendors?[#](#when-do-property-managers-choose-vendors) Throughout the year for repairs, but larger service contracts such as landscaping, cleaning and snow removal are often reviewed during budget season, which for many calendar-year budgets is the late summer and fall. HOA boards usually approve contracts at scheduled board meetings. These are common patterns; ask each manager about their cycle. ### How do I find property management companies near me?[#](#how-do-i-find-property-management-companies-near-me) Search Google Maps for property management company, apartment rental agency, homeowners association and commercial real estate agency in each part of your service area, since one search returns about 120 results. Export the results with phone, website, rating, reviews and emails from each company's site. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

With scripts. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to sell to restaurants: find the right ones, reach the decision maker, time it Sell to restaurants: list them by cuisine, category and price level, find who decides, call between services, and pitch POS, food or software. With scripts. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook To sell to restaurants, list every restaurant in your area that fits your product by cuisine, category and price level, remove the chains whose purchasing is decided at head office, and contact the decision maker (owner, chef or general manager) between lunch and dinner service. Restaurants are easy to find, since every one is on Google Maps with its hours, price band and reviews, and hard to reach during service. Timing and a pitch specific to their kind of restaurant matter more than volume. ## What do restaurants buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-restaurants-buy-and-who-decides) Restaurants buy food, equipment, technology and services, and a different person usually decides each one. Know who you need before you call. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Typical decision maker (independent) | At a franchise or chain | Industry angle | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | POS, payments, online ordering | Owner | Often set by the brand | Fees, speed at the counter, delivery integration | | Produce, meat, seafood, specialty food | Chef or kitchen manager, with the owner | Approved-supplier lists from corporate | Quality, consistency, delivery days | | Beverages, wine, coffee | Owner, bar manager, GM | Brand programs | Margin per drink, menu fit | | Marketing, websites, social | Owner | Local marketing may be up to the franchisee | Covers on slow nights | | Software (scheduling, inventory, reservations) | Owner, GM | Often set by the brand | Hours saved, food cost | | Services (cleaning, pest control, linen, hood cleaning, repairs) | GM, owner | Franchisee or facilities | Reliability, inspections | | Staffing | GM, owner | Franchisee | Fill shifts fast | Independents are faster to close because the owner is on site. Franchise locations can work for local services and marketing, but suppliers and POS are often decided by the brand's corporate office, so check the franchise's rules before you spend time there. ## How do I find restaurants by cuisine, category and price level?[#](#how-do-i-find-restaurants-by-cuisine-category-and-price-level) Search Google Maps by cuisine and by restaurant type, then use the price level, hours and reviews on each listing to keep only the ones that fit. 1. **Search by cuisine.** Google Maps has specific categories: "Mexican restaurant", "Italian restaurant", "sushi restaurant", "Thai restaurant", "steak house", "vegan restaurant". A produce grower or a wine distributor targets by cuisine. 2. **Search by type.** "Cafe", "bar and grill", "pizza restaurant", "fast food restaurant", "breakfast restaurant", "food truck". A POS or staffing pitch targets by type. 3. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search shows only about 120 results, and a mid-size city has far more restaurants than that. Split by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 4. **Filter by price level.** Google lists a price band for many restaurants, from inexpensive to very expensive. Premium suppliers and fine-dining services target the top two bands; fast-casual POS and staffing target the lower ones. 5. **Remove chains.** Sort by name and drop names that appear many times, unless you sell to franchisees. 6. **Use reviews as a size signal.** A restaurant with 1,500 reviews serves far more covers than one with 40, which matters for volume products. 7. **Use hours for timing.** The listed hours tell you which day they're closed, whether they serve breakfast, and when the gap between services falls. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) The full list of useful categories, and how to pick search terms, is in [the Google Maps categories list](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-categories-list). ## Worked example: a specialty produce grower[#](#worked-example-a-specialty-produce-grower) Assumptions, for illustration only, not measured: you grow microgreens and specialty herbs and deliver within one metro. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule (assumed) | Restaurants | | --- | --- | --- | | All restaurants in the delivery area | from the export | 2,400 | | Cuisines that use your product | Italian, Japanese, New American, Mediterranean, steak houses, fine dining | 720 | | Moderate price level or higher | 50% of those | 360 | | Independents only | drop repeat names, 70% left | about 250 | | Open 5+ dinner services a week | from hours, 80% | 200 | | Visit 10 chefs a week with samples | 20 weeks to cover all 200 | | | Become weekly accounts | 1 in 10 visited (assumed) | 20 | If an account averages $60 a week (an assumption), 20 accounts bring in $1,200 a week, about $62,400 a year at 52 weeks. Start with the 50 restaurants with the most reviews and see what your real visit-to-account rate is before you plan the rest. ## When is the best time to contact a restaurant?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-a-restaurant) Contact restaurants between services, usually mid-afternoon on Tuesday through Thursday. During lunch and dinner the owner and chef are working the line or the floor; nobody wants a sales call at 12:30 or 7:00. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Restaurant type | Best window | Avoid | | --- | --- | --- | | Lunch and dinner | 2 to 4 p.m., Tuesday to Thursday | 11:30 to 1:30, 5:30 to 9, Friday and Saturday nights | | Dinner only | Early afternoon, before prep peaks | The hour before opening | | Breakfast and brunch | Early afternoon, after close or the rush | Weekend mornings | | Bars | Mid-afternoon before opening | Evenings, weekends | | Cafes and coffee shops | Mid-morning after the commuter rush, or mid-afternoon | Early morning | These windows are common practice, not measured results; check each restaurant's listed hours and adjust. Email any time, but expect replies late at night or in the afternoon gap. ## What should I say? Scripts by what you sell[#](#what-should-i-say-scripts-by-what-you-sell) Lead with one benefit for their kind of restaurant and make the next step small: a sample, a 10-minute demo or a price sheet. ### Call: find the decision maker[#](#call-find-the-decision-maker) ``` "Hi, is this {{business}}? I'll be quick, I know you're prepping. Who handles [your produce / your card processing / your marketing]? ... When's a good time to catch them for five minutes? I can come by with [samples / a fee comparison]." ``` ### Email: POS or payments[#](#email-pos-or-payments) ``` Subject: card fees at {{business}} Hi there, I help {{category}} owners in {{city}} check whether they're overpaying on card processing. If you send me one recent statement, I'll show you what you're paying per transaction, in plain numbers, and whether switching would save anything. If it wouldn't, I'll tell you. Is that worth 10 minutes on a Tuesday afternoon? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` ### Email: produce or specialty food to a chef[#](#email-produce-or-specialty-food-to-a-chef) ``` Subject: {{product}} for {{business}}'s kitchen Hi Chef, I grow {{product}} in {{area}} and deliver to kitchens around {{city}} on {{delivery days}}. Harvested the day before delivery. I'd like to drop off samples between services this week, with a price sheet and minimums. Would Wednesday around 3 work? [Name] · [Farm] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ### Email: marketing[#](#email-marketing) ``` Subject: slow nights at {{business}} Hi there, {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, so the people who come in like it. I help {{category}} restaurants fill the quiet weeknights with [specific tactic]. Want me to send two ideas for your place, free? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` For food products, check the rules before you sell. The FDA Food Code, the model that state and local regulators use to write their own food safety rules, says restaurants must get food from sources that comply with law, so your local health department may need to approve how you produce and deliver. ## How do I reach new restaurants before they pick vendors?[#](#how-do-i-reach-new-restaurants-before-they-pick-vendors) New restaurants choose POS, suppliers, insurance and services in the weeks before and after opening, so finding them early is valuable. Watch for new listings in your area each month, local liquor license notices, and building and health permit filings where your city publishes them. See [how to find new businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area) for the methods and their trade-offs. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to restaurants?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-restaurants) In the US, commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to restaurants for business products are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but not from the FTC's ban on misrepresentations, and autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent; see [how to find businesses to cold call](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-businesses-to-cold-call). Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. Get legal advice for your situation. If you'd rather not build restaurant lists by hand, Leadraft finds every restaurant of the types you choose inside the area you draw, with price level, hours and reviews, and never charges for ones outside your area or in the wrong category. Try it on your city on the [free plan](https://leadraft.co/pricing), or see sample exports for [restaurants](https://leadraft.co/leads/restaurants), [bars](https://leadraft.co/leads/bars) and [coffee shops](https://leadraft.co/leads/coffee-shops). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to restaurants?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-restaurants) Pick the restaurants that fit your product by cuisine, category and price level, list every one in your area, and contact the person who decides: usually the owner at an independent, the chef or kitchen manager for food, and the general manager for operations. Call or visit in the mid-afternoon gap between lunch and dinner, and lead with one specific benefit for their kind of restaurant. ### What is the best time to call or visit a restaurant?[#](#what-is-the-best-time-to-call-or-visit-a-restaurant) Between services, usually about 2 to 4 p.m. on Tuesday to Thursday. Avoid lunch and dinner rushes, Friday and Saturday evenings, and the hour before opening. Check each restaurant's listed hours: many close one weekday, and breakfast places are quiet in the afternoon. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at a restaurant?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-a-restaurant) At an independent restaurant, the owner decides on anything significant. The executive chef or kitchen manager usually decides on food and kitchen supplies, and the general manager on front-of-house, staffing and day-to-day vendors. At franchise locations, the franchisee decides some things and the brand's corporate office decides others, such as approved suppliers and POS. ### How do I sell produce or specialty food to restaurants?[#](#how-do-i-sell-produce-or-specialty-food-to-restaurants) Target chef-driven independents at a moderate-to-high price level whose menus match what you grow or make, bring samples to the chef between services, and be ready with a price list, a delivery schedule and minimums. Check your state and local health department rules first: restaurants generally must buy food from approved sources. ### How do I find a list of restaurants in my city?[#](#how-do-i-find-a-list-of-restaurants-in-my-city) Search Google Maps for restaurant types in your city, by cuisine ("Mexican restaurant", "sushi restaurant") and by category ("cafe", "bar and grill"), split the city into neighborhoods or ZIP codes because each search shows about 120 results, and export to a spreadsheet with phone, website, hours, price level and reviews. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

Then contact the owner on a quiet weekday morning, usually Tuesday or Wednesday, with one concrete offer: fewer no-shows, more rebooked clients, better retail margin, or a sample to try. Know whether the salon is owner-run with employees or a booth-rental salon, because that decides who buys the products. ## What do salons buy, and who decides?[#](#what-do-salons-buy-and-who-decides) Salons buy professional products, tools and furniture, booking and payment software, marketing, education, insurance and services like laundry and cleaning. The owner decides at most salons; at booth-rental salons, the renters buy many of their own supplies. Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Owner-run salon | Booth-rental salon | Spa or larger salon | The angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Color, care and retail products (distributors) | Owner, sometimes an educator or lead stylist | Each stylist | Owner, retail or spa manager | Margin, education, a brand clients ask for | | Booking, POS, payments software | Owner | Owner (shared) or each renter | Manager, owner | Fewer no-shows, online booking, card fees | | Tools, chairs, stations, pedicure spas | Owner | Owner for the space, renters for tools | Owner, manager | Durability, financing, install | | Marketing, social, websites | Owner | Renters market themselves | Owner, marketing lead | New clients on slow weekdays | | Education and training | Owner | Each stylist | Owner, education lead | New services that raise the ticket | | Laundry, towels, cleaning | Owner | Owner | Manager | Reliability | Self-employment is common in this trade. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says about 80% of barbers and about 48% of hairdressers, hairstylists and cosmetologists are self-employed, and that some lease booth space from a salon owner. In practice that means two buyers in one building: the owner, who chooses the space, shared software and services, and the renters, who choose their own products and tools. Ask on the first call. **Chains and franchises.** Franchise salon and spa brands often set approved products, software and marketing at head office. Independents decide locally and are the main market for most distributors and software sellers. ## How do I build a list of salons?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-salons) Search Google Maps by salon type across your area in small pieces, then segment the export by category, reviews, rating and social links. 1. **Search each type.** "Hair salon", "beauty salon", "hairdresser", "hair extension technician", "barber shop", "nail salon", "eyelash salon", "waxing hair removal service", "day spa", "massage spa" and "skin care clinic". Each is a separate Maps category, and many salons list several. 2. **Search in pieces.** One Maps search returns about 120 results, and a city has many more salons than that. Split by neighborhood or ZIP code. See [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 3. **Remove duplicates.** A salon may be listed as "hair salon" and "beauty salon". 4. **Segment:** - **category**: hair vs nails vs barber vs spa. Product and software pitches differ by type. - **reviews**: a size signal. A salon with 800 reviews has several chairs and steady traffic. - **rating**: high-rated salons protect their brand and often carry premium lines. - **website and Instagram**: salons often run on Instagram and a booking link instead of a full website. A missing website is a web-design lead; a busy Instagram suggests an owner who markets. - **hours**: which day they're closed, late nights, Sunday hours. - **emails with role and source**: an owner's address on the About page beats a booking@ inbox. Each type has its own lead list page with the search terms and fields: [hair salons](https://leadraft.co/leads/hair-salons), [nail salons](https://leadraft.co/leads/nail-salons), [barbershops](https://leadraft.co/leads/barbershops) and [spas](https://leadraft.co/leads/spas). The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should I pitch to a salon?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-to-a-salon) Pitch one result the owner feels every week: empty chairs on Tuesday, no-shows, retail that doesn't sell, or stylists leaving. Salons hear from distributors and software reps constantly, so specific beats general. - **Product distributors:** lead with education (a free class for the team) and margin on retail. Owners stock brands their clients ask for and their stylists like using. - **Booking and payments software:** pitch fewer no-shows (deposits, reminders) and rebooking at checkout. If you quote a result, make sure you can document it. - **Marketing and social media agencies:** many salons rely on Instagram. Offer to fill slow weekday slots and to turn reviews into new clients. See [how to get social media management clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-social-media-management-clients). - **Furniture and equipment:** lead with financing, delivery and install outside opening hours. - **Barbershops:** walk-in traffic and speed matter. Pitch queue and booking tools, and products that sell at the chair. - **Spas:** higher ticket, more staff, more scheduling. Pitch room utilization, packages and memberships. ## When is the best time to contact a salon?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-a-salon) Weekday mornings right after opening, or mid-afternoon Tuesday to Thursday. Fridays and Saturdays are full, and the hour before close is busy with the last clients. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Time | Why | | --- | --- | | Tuesday or Wednesday, first hour after opening | Owner often in before the first client | | Mid-afternoon, Tuesday to Thursday | Gaps between appointments | | Avoid Friday, Saturday, the last hour | Fully booked | | Check the closed day | Many close Sunday or Monday | These are common patterns, not measured results, and they vary by salon. The hours on each listing tell you when they're open and which day they're closed. **Gatekeepers.** The front desk handles bookings and will try to book you as a client. Say you're not booking: "I'm a \[distributor / software provider\]. Who handles your product orders, and when is a good time to reach them?" At small salons the owner answers between clients; keep it to one question. ## What should my email to a salon say?[#](#what-should-my-email-to-a-salon-say) Short, warm and specific to their salon. Double-brace fields are columns from the export. ``` Subject: quiet Tuesdays at {{business}} Hi there, {{business}} has {{reviews}} reviews at {{rating}} stars, so clients clearly love the work. I help {{category}} owners in {{city}} fill the slow weekday slots and cut no-shows with [specific tool or tactic]. Can I send a short example of how it works for a salon your size? [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] Not interested? Reply "no" and I won't write again. ``` For a product distributor: ``` Subject: a free color class for the {{business}} team Hi there, I'm the [brand] rep for {{city}}. We run free in-salon education for teams that try our line, and the retail margin is [margin]. Could I drop off samples one morning next week? I'll keep it to 15 minutes before your first client. [Name] · [Company] · [Postal address] · Reply "no" to opt out. ``` ## How often should I follow up with salons?[#](#how-often-should-i-follow-up-with-salons) Three follow-ups over three weeks, and a visit if you're local. Salon owners respond well to a person who stops by with samples at a quiet time. 1. **Day 1:** first email. 2. **Day 4:** one line: "Is product ordering something you handle, or do your stylists order their own?" 3. **Day 10:** something useful: a class date, a sample, a short no-show calculator for their chair count. 4. **Day 21:** a polite close, or a walk-in on a Tuesday morning. ## What rules apply to cold outreach to salons?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-cold-outreach-to-salons) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to businesses are mostly exempt from the National Do Not Call Registry, but the FTC's ban on misrepresentations covers business-to-business calls. Many salon and barbershop numbers are cell phones, and under the TCPA autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones need consent. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: every salon and barbershop in Florida[#](#worked-example-every-salon-and-barbershop-in-florida) A distributor covering Florida wants hair salons, nail salons and barbershops. Census County Business Patterns 2023 counts these establishments with paid employees: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Type (NAICS) | Florida, Census 2023 | | --- | --- | | Beauty salons (812112) | 7,534 | | Nail salons (812113) | 1,742 | | Barber shops (812111) | 808 | | Total | 10,084 | Solo stylists and booth renters without employees aren't counted, and many of them have their own Maps listing, so your list will likely be bigger. Plan with about 10,000. Salons publish email less often than other trades, so assume a third have a checked email: about 3,300. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Leadraft plan | What it covers | Cost | | --- | --- | --- | | Growth, $49 a month | 100,000 businesses, 5,000 checked emails a month | $49 in one month | | Starter, $19 a month | 25,000 businesses, 1,000 checked emails a month | covers one metro of about 2,000 salons | Each salon is charged once ever, salons outside your area or in another trade are shown free, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build salon lists by hand, Leadraft finds every salon of the types you choose inside your area, with emails from each salon's own website [checked against the live mailbox](https://leadraft.co/product/emails). Try it on your city on the free plan, or see the fields on the [hair salon list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/hair-salons). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to salons?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-salons) Start with the salon types your product fits (hair salons, nail salons, barbershops, spas), list every one in your area, and sort them by size using review count and by positioning using rating, website and Instagram. Contact the owner on a quiet weekday morning, often Tuesday or Wednesday, and lead with something concrete: more rebooked clients, fewer no-shows, better retail margin, or a product sample. ### Who decides what a salon buys?[#](#who-decides-what-a-salon-buys) At most independent salons the owner decides, and the owner usually also works behind the chair. Larger salons and spas may have a salon manager or front desk lead who handles booking software and retail ordering. In booth-rental salons, each stylist often buys their own color, tools and products, so the owner decides on the space and shared software while renters decide on supplies. ### When is the best time to contact a salon?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-contact-a-salon-1) Weekday mornings right after opening, or mid-afternoon on Tuesday to Thursday. Avoid Friday, Saturday and the hour before close, which are usually the busiest times. Many salons close on Sunday or Monday, so check the hours on each listing. These are common patterns, not measured results. ### How do I find a list of salons in my area?[#](#how-do-i-find-a-list-of-salons-in-my-area) Search Google Maps for hair salon, beauty salon, barber shop, nail salon, day spa, eyelash salon and waxing hair removal service in each neighborhood or ZIP code, because one search shows only about 120 results. Export to a spreadsheet with phone, website, rating, reviews, hours, Instagram and emails from each salon's own site. ### How many salons are there in the US?[#](#how-many-salons-are-there-in-the-us) County Business Patterns 2023 counts 84,176 beauty salons (NAICS 812112), 34,417 nail salons (NAICS 812113) and 7,789 barber shops (NAICS 812111) with paid employees. Many stylists and barbers work alone or rent a booth and aren't in those counts. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To sell to schools, start with private schools, because they decide locally, and treat public school districts as a separate procurement process with bids and board approvals. List every private school in your area by type, contact the head of school or business manager (or the director who owns your category), and time your outreach for spring budgeting and summer installs. Most private schools have a Google Maps listing with a website, hours and reviews, so the list is easy to build. ## Private schools or public districts: which can I sell to?[#](#private-schools-or-public-districts-which-can-i-sell-to) Private schools buy like a small organization: a head of school, a business manager and a board. Public school districts buy like a government: published bids, cooperative contracts and board approval. Both are real markets, but they need different playbooks. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Private school | Public school district | | --- | --- | --- | | Who decides | Head of school, business manager, board | District department heads, procurement, school board | | How they buy | Quote, proposal, contract | Bids and RFPs, cooperative purchasing contracts, purchase orders | | Cycle | Weeks to a few months | Months, tied to board meetings and fiscal year | | Can one school buy alone? | Yes | Often not; many purchases are made at district level | | Where the work is listed | Nowhere: you reach out | District and state purchasing sites | NCES counted 29,730 private K-12 schools in 2021-22, serving about 4.7 million students, with 482,570 full-time-equivalent teachers. About 6,120 were Catholic schools. That's a large, reachable market of independent buyers. This guide focuses on them. For public bids, the approach in [how to get commercial cleaning contracts](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-commercial-cleaning-contracts) (registering on procurement portals and reading solicitations) applies to most categories. ## Who decides at a private school?[#](#who-decides-at-a-private-school) The head of school sets priorities and the business manager runs the money. Department leads choose in their own areas, and the board approves the budget. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Role | What they decide | What they care about | | --- | --- | --- | | Head of school or principal | Priorities, big changes | Enrollment, reputation, families | | Business manager or CFO | Budgets, contracts, most vendors | Cost, contract terms, cash flow | | Technology director | Devices, software, networks | Security, ease for teachers | | Facilities director | Building, grounds, cleaning, security | Safety, uptime, summer schedule | | Admissions or marketing director | Marketing, websites, enrollment tools | Inquiries, tours, enrollment | | Athletic director | Equipment, uniforms, field services | Safety, cost, schedule | | Academic dean or department heads | Curriculum, classroom products | Learning results, teacher time | | Board of trustees | Budget, capital projects | Long-term health of the school | | Parish or diocese (some Catholic schools) | Some contracts and policies | Consistency across schools | At a small school, one or two people cover all of these. The head of school may also be the admissions director, and the business manager may handle facilities. ## What do private schools buy?[#](#what-do-private-schools-buy) Scroll horizontally if needed → | What you sell | Who usually decides | Angle that works | | --- | --- | --- | | Student information, enrollment, tuition software | Business manager, admissions | Staff time, fewer billing errors | | Devices, networks, IT support | Technology director | Security, uptime, teacher ease | | Marketing, websites, video | Admissions or marketing director, head of school | Inquiries and tours | | Facilities (cleaning, HVAC, roofing, security) | Facilities director, business manager | Safety and summer timing | | Food service | Business manager | Families' satisfaction, cost per meal | | Tutoring, test prep, enrichment | Academic dean | Student results | | Athletics equipment and fields | Athletic director | Safety, durability | | Insurance, benefits, payroll | Business manager | Cost, coverage | Tutoring centers and daycares buy many of the same things: enrollment software, marketing, cleaning. See [tutoring center leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/tutoring-centers) and [daycare leads](https://leadraft.co/leads/daycares). ## How do I build a list of private schools?[#](#how-do-i-build-a-list-of-private-schools) Search Google Maps for every private school type across your area, merge the results and remove the public schools. 1. **Pick the area.** A metro, county, ZIP codes or a shape you draw. 2. **Search several terms.** "Private school", "Catholic school", "Christian school", "Montessori school", "preparatory school", "independent school", "boarding school", "Jewish day school", "Islamic school", "private elementary school", "private high school". 3. **Check categories.** Google Maps categories include Private school, Catholic school, Christian school, Montessori school, Preparatory school, Elementary school, Middle school, High school and Boarding school. The general school categories include public schools. 4. **Remove public schools.** Public school websites usually sit on the district's domain, so group by website domain and drop the district domains. 5. **Search in pieces.** One Google Maps search shows about 120 results; see [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). 6. **Add the edges.** Preschools, tutoring centers and after-school programs may fit your product too. The [private school lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/private-schools) has the full set of terms and columns. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## How do I segment schools with the list's columns?[#](#how-do-i-segment-schools-with-the-lists-columns) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | Use | | --- | --- | | `category` | Separate Catholic, Christian, Montessori and independent schools | | `website` domain | Remove public schools on district domains | | `reviews` | A rough size and community signal | | `hours` | School day hours; tells you when to call | | `email` role and source | An admissions, business office or technology address found on a staff or contact page | | `facebook`, `instagram`, `youtube` | Schools that market actively; useful for marketing and video offers | | `in_area` | Keeps the list to your territory | ## What should I pitch a private school?[#](#what-should-i-pitch-a-private-school) Pitch enrollment, safety or staff time, the things a head of school reports to the board. Families pay tuition, so anything that affects what families see, from the website to the front entrance, gets attention. - **Marketing and websites:** inquiries, tours and applications. Show one observation about how the school appears when parents search in its town. - **Software:** hours saved in admissions and the business office, and how you handle student data. - **Facilities:** safety, and a schedule that fits summer and breaks. - **Technology:** security and reliability, with support teachers can actually reach. - **Food and services:** families' satisfaction and cost. Student data is sensitive. If your product will hold it, be ready to explain your privacy and security practices in writing; schools will ask. ## When is the best time to reach a school?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-reach-a-school) Plan around the school year. Winter and spring are when next year's budget is planned. Summer is when work gets done. The first weeks of school, exam periods and holidays are the worst times. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Season | What happens | Your move | | --- | --- | --- | | January to April | Next year's budget is planned | Pitch anything that needs a budget line | | May to June | Year-end, graduations | Short notes only; book summer work | | July to August | Facility work, tech rollouts, new staff | Deliver; pitch quick-turn services | | September | School starts | Avoid, except urgent needs | | October to December | Settled routine | Good for meetings and demos | During the week, email early morning before classes or mid-afternoon after dismissal, and call the office outside drop-off and pick-up. These are common practice, not measured results; school calendars vary. **The front office is the gatekeeper.** Ask for the business manager or the director for your area by role, and ask for their email. Never contact students. ## What should the email say? A short script[#](#what-should-the-email-say-a-short-script) Under 100 words, specific to the school, with a small ask. These templates use Leadraft export columns as merge fields: `{{business}}`, `{{city}}`, `{{category}}`. ### Email 1: services or software, to the business manager[#](#email-1-services-or-software-to-the-business-manager) ``` Subject: [category] at {{business}} for next year Hello, I work with {{category}} schools around {{city}} on [specific job].

If you hit a holiday or exam week, pause. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Day | Step | | --- | --- | | 1 | First email | | 5 | Follow-up: one useful detail or resource | | 10 | Call the office after dismissal; confirm the right contact | | 18 | Follow-up: offer the summary or quote again | | 28 | Last note; add to your January budget-season list | ## What rules apply to outreach to schools?[#](#what-rules-apply-to-outreach-to-schools) US commercial email falls under CAN-SPAM: accurate sender information and subject lines, a physical postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls to a school's business line are mostly outside the National Do Not Call Registry, but the TCPA's consent rules cover autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones. Contact staff, never students. If your product handles student records, expect questions about student privacy laws. Google's Maps Platform terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content, a contract issue separate from these laws. See [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Worked example: private schools in Florida[#](#worked-example-private-schools-in-florida) The Census Bureau counted 1,785 private elementary and secondary school establishments with paid employees in Florida in 2023 (NAICS 611110), plus 713 exam preparation and tutoring establishments (611691) and 4,651 child day care establishments (624410). Assumptions, for illustration only: you sell to private schools and tutoring centers statewide, a search returns about 3,500 listings after deduplication and removing public schools, and you take out one checked email for 1,000 of them in the first month. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Rule | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Private school and tutoring listings in Florida | from the search (assumed) | about 3,500 | | Business credits | one per school, charged once ever | about 3,500 | | Checked emails taken out, month one | 1,000 | 1,000 | | Plan | Starter: 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails a month | $19 | If you add daycares, or want two or three contacts per school (business office, admissions, technology), Growth at $49 a month gives 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails. Accept-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). If you'd rather not build school lists by hand, Leadraft finds every private school of the types you choose inside the area you pick, with checked emails from each school's own website. Try it on the free plan, or see the columns on [the private school lead list page](https://leadraft.co/leads/private-schools). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I sell to schools?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-schools) Start with private schools, which decide locally, and treat public districts as a separate procurement process. List every private school in your area by type, contact the head of school or business manager (or the director for your category, such as technology or facilities), and time outreach for spring budgeting and summer installs. ### Who makes purchasing decisions at a private school?[#](#who-makes-purchasing-decisions-at-a-private-school) The head of school (or principal) sets priorities, and the business manager or CFO runs budgets, contracts and most vendors. Department leads such as the technology director, facilities director, athletic director and admissions or marketing director choose in their areas. The board of trustees approves the budget and large projects. Parish schools may also involve the parish or diocese. ### How many private schools are there in the US?[#](#how-many-private-schools-are-there-in-the-us) NCES counted 29,730 private K-12 schools in 2021-22, with about 4.7 million students and 482,570 full-time-equivalent teachers. About 6,120 were Catholic schools. The Census Bureau counted 23,201 private elementary and secondary school establishments with paid employees in 2023. ### How do I sell to public school districts?[#](#how-do-i-sell-to-public-school-districts) Public districts usually buy through formal procurement: bids and RFPs posted on the district or state purchasing site, cooperative purchasing contracts, and board approval for larger purchases. Register as a vendor with the districts you want, watch for bids, and build relationships with department heads who write the requirements. A Google Maps list of schools helps with local outreach, but the contract goes through procurement. ### When is the best time to sell to schools?[#](#when-is-the-best-time-to-sell-to-schools) Reach decision makers in the winter and spring, when next year's budget is planned, so you're in it. Summer is when facility work and technology rollouts happen. Avoid the first weeks of the school year, exam periods and holidays. During the year, email in the morning before classes or mid-afternoon after dismissal. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get Google Maps leads into HubSpot: field mapping, dedupe, segments and the rules Get Google Maps leads into HubSpot: a CSV import with exact property mapping, dedupe by email and domain, segments, a direct push, and HubSpot's email rules. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Playbook To get Google Maps leads into HubSpot, export them as a UTF-8 CSV (one row per business, one header row), import the file as contacts, and map Email to Email, the business name to Company Name, and phone, website and address to HubSpot's standard contact properties. HubSpot updates any contact whose email already exists instead of duplicating it. Put Maps-only fields like category, rating and review count into custom properties you create first. Then build a segment for the import, and keep cold leads out of HubSpot marketing email: HubSpot's policies require opt-in for that. Below are the exact mappings, the dedupe rules and the compliance points, from HubSpot's own documentation as of November 2026. ## What do you need before importing Google Maps leads into HubSpot?[#](#what-do-you-need-before-importing-google-maps-leads-into-hubspot) You need a clean file and a few custom properties. HubSpot's import requirements, as of November 2026: - **File type:** `.csv`, `.xlsx` or `.xls`, one sheet, with a header row. Fewer than 1,000 columns. - **Encoding:** UTF-8 if any business names have accents ("Café Luna"). - **Required for contacts:** Email. First and last name are optional, which suits Maps data: listings don't carry owner names. - **Required for companies:** Name or Company domain name. - **Limits:** 20 MB per file on free tools; 512 MB and up to 1,048,576 rows per file on paid plans. Before the import, create custom contact properties (Settings, then Properties) for the Maps fields HubSpot doesn't have. A sensible set: Google Maps category, Google rating, Google review count, Google Maps URL and Google Place ID. Don't map the Maps category to HubSpot's built-in Industry property: Industry is a fixed list of options, and "Plumber" or "Dental clinic" won't match it. Checklist for the file: - [ ] One row per business, with that business's best email in the Email column. - [ ] Verified emails only. Accept-all (catch-all) addresses in a separate file, invalid ones never. - [ ] Your suppression list applied: past unsubscribes, bounces and "remove me" replies. - [ ] Phone numbers in one format, ideally E.164 (`+15125550142`). - [ ] Empty and unused columns deleted. ## How do I map Google Maps columns to HubSpot properties?[#](#how-do-i-map-google-maps-columns-to-hubspot-properties) Map the contact fields to HubSpot's standard properties and everything Maps-specific to your custom properties. This table uses the column names a typical Maps export has. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Google Maps column | HubSpot contact property | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Email | Email | Required; the unique identifier | | Business name | Company Name | A text property on the contact | | Phone | Phone Number | | | Website | Website URL | Also helps HubSpot match freemail contacts to a company | | Street address | Street Address | | | City | City | | | State | State/Region | | | Postal code | Postal Code | | | Country | Country/Region | | | Category | Google Maps category (custom) | Not Industry | | Rating | Google rating (custom, number) | Useful for segments | | Reviews | Google review count (custom, number) | | | Maps URL | Google Maps URL (custom) | Reps can open the listing from the record | | Google Place ID | Google Place ID (custom, unique values) | The stable ID for the business | | Email grade | Email grade (custom) | Keep Verified vs Accept-all visible | | Other emails | A custom text property, or don't import | HubSpot only matches on secondary emails when the file also has a Record ID | If you also want company records, import contacts and companies from one file. HubSpot needs a unique identifier for both objects in every row: Email for the contact, and Company domain name for the company (the website's domain, such as `brightsmile.example`). Without both identifiers, HubSpot creates records instead of associating them. ## How do I run the import in HubSpot?[#](#how-do-i-run-the-import-in-hubspot) These are the steps in HubSpot's import tool. 1. Open the import tool and start an import from a file. 2. Choose Contacts, or Contacts and Companies if you included company domains. 3. Upload the file. On the mapping screen, set each column with the HubSpot Property dropdown. Set unused columns to "Don't import column." 4. Choose **Create and update contacts**. "Create new contacts only" skips rows that already exist; "Update existing contacts only" ignores new ones. 5. On the last screen, tick **Create a contacts segment from this import** so you can find this batch later. 6. Leave **Set this contact as a marketing contact** unticked for cold leads (the reasons are below). 7. If your portal has data privacy settings turned on, choose a legal basis in **Set the legal basis for processing a contact's data**. 8. Finish, then open the import's error file if HubSpot reports any failed rows. A paid HubSpot account can run up to 500 imports and 10,000,000 rows a day; free tools allow 50 imports and 500,000 rows a day. That is far more than a local list needs. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## How does HubSpot deduplicate Google Maps leads?[#](#how-does-hubspot-deduplicate-google-maps-leads) HubSpot deduplicates contacts on **Email** and companies on **Company domain name**. Import a row whose email already exists and HubSpot updates that contact, so re-importing a refreshed list doesn't create duplicates. A Record ID column does the same for any object. Three cases need care with Maps data: - **Freemail businesses.** Plenty of small businesses use a Gmail or Yahoo address. Those can't dedupe as companies by domain. HubSpot's automatic company association does look at the contact's Website URL for freemail addresses, which is another reason to map the website column. - **Two listings, one business.** A business can have one email but two Maps listings (a second location, or a practitioner listing). HubSpot will merge them into one contact by email. Decide whether that's what you want before import. - **Companies without a domain.** If you import companies, give the custom Google Place ID property "unique values" and use it as the identifier. HubSpot accepts a unique custom property as an import identifier, though its docs warn that a custom unique property doesn't stop duplicate company domains: remove duplicate domains from the file first. The automatic company setting ("Create and associate companies with contacts", under Objects, then Companies) matches each contact's email domain to a company's domain and creates the company if none exists. It won't override a company already associated with a contact. ## How do I organize Maps leads into segments?[#](#how-do-i-organize-maps-leads-into-segments) Use segments, which HubSpot previously called lists. There are two kinds as of November 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Segment type | What it does | Use it for | | --- | --- | --- | | Active | Membership updates itself as records meet or stop meeting the criteria | "Austin dentists rated 4.5+ with a verified email" | | Static | Holds the records that matched when you saved it | One import batch, or one outreach wave | The segment you created at import is your batch. Then build active segments from the custom properties: Google Maps category is "Roofing contractor", City is any of your territory, Google rating is under 4.0 (a common angle for reputation and local SEO offers), Email grade is Verified. Assign owners, set Lead Status, and your reps have a working queue. ## Can I send cold email to Google Maps leads from HubSpot?[#](#can-i-send-cold-email-to-google-maps-leads-from-hubspot) Not as marketing email. HubSpot's Anti-Spam Policy says you may not use HubSpot to directly contact recipients from "purchased, rented, borrowed, or other third-party lists," and names "email append services or enrichment services lists." Its consent guide says marketing email needs verifiable permission from the recipient, and that a lack of opt-out doesn't count. The same guide says you can still send a one-to-one email to a new contact. What this means in practice, and it's a reading, not legal advice: - **Keep cold leads as non-marketing contacts.** Marketing contacts count toward your billable tier. Non-marketing contacts don't, and you can't send them HubSpot marketing email. - **One-to-one sales email from HubSpot** is what the consent guide allows. Whether a list you built with a lead tool counts as a "third-party list" under the Anti-Spam Policy is a question for HubSpot (the policy lists [legal@hubspot.com](mailto:legal@hubspot.com)) or your lawyer. - **First-touch cold outreach** is usually sent from a dedicated cold email tool on separate sending domains, with replies and won deals landing in HubSpot. Our guide to [importing Google Maps leads into Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-leads-to-instantly) covers that side. The law sits on top of HubSpot's rules. In the US, CAN-SPAM allows B2B cold email but requires an honest subject and sender, a physical postal address, a working opt-out, and opt-outs honored within 10 business days. In the UK and EU, cold B2B email usually relies on legitimate interest, which is why HubSpot's legal-basis setting matters. Our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) covers CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL and PECR. Separately, Google's Maps terms restrict scraping and building lists from Maps content: the business facts are public, but contract terms and personal-data law still apply. See [is scraping Google Maps legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal), and get legal advice for your situation. ## Can I push Google Maps leads into HubSpot without a CSV?[#](#can-i-push-google-maps-leads-into-hubspot-without-a-csv) Yes, through HubSpot's API. Lead tools with a HubSpot integration call HubSpot's contacts API directly, which skips the export, mapping and import steps. Leadraft's HubSpot push works like this: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Leadraft field | HubSpot contact property | | --- | --- | | Best email | `email` (the match key) | | Business name | `company` | | Phone | `phone` | | Website | `website` | | City | `city` | | State | `state` | | Postal code | `zip` | | Country | `country` | - **Created or updated, matched by email.** Each lead becomes a HubSpot contact. Sending the same business again updates its contact instead of duplicating it. - **Standard properties only.** The push writes HubSpot's built-in contact properties above. It doesn't create company records, segments or custom properties, and it sends only the primary email; a business's other addresses stay in your Leadraft files. Build your segments in HubSpot after the push. - **Verified by default.** Pushes include Verified emails, you can add accept-all, and invalid emails never leave. Your do-not-contact list is applied on the way out. - **Monitors.** A monitor repeats a search on a schedule and can send only the new businesses to HubSpot. To connect it, Leadraft asks for a HubSpot token with the contacts read and write scopes. An existing HubSpot private app token works. Note that HubSpot stopped letting existing accounts create new legacy private apps on October 26, 2026, and now points in-account integrations to service keys, which its docs describe as Bearer tokens for the same CRM APIs, created under Development, then Keys. Existing private apps keep working. We haven't yet tested service keys against our push. If you'd rather not use a direct push, a [signed webhook](https://leadraft.co/docs/webhooks) can send lead batches to Zapier, which can then create HubSpot contacts with whatever custom properties you've mapped. That route lets you write the Maps category and rating into custom properties, which the direct push doesn't. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### How do I import Google Maps leads into HubSpot?[#](#how-do-i-import-google-maps-leads-into-hubspot) Export the leads as a UTF-8 CSV with one row per business and a header row, then in HubSpot go to the import tool, choose contacts (or contacts and companies), map Email to Email, the business name to Company Name, and phone, website and address columns to their standard properties. Choose Create and update, tick Create a contacts segment from this import, and finish. ### How does HubSpot stop duplicate contacts from Google Maps imports?[#](#how-does-hubspot-stop-duplicate-contacts-from-google-maps-imports) HubSpot deduplicates contacts on Email and companies on Company domain name. If a row's email already exists, the contact is updated instead of duplicated. Businesses that use a Gmail or Yahoo address have no usable company domain, so add a unique custom property such as a Google Place ID if you import companies. ### Can I send HubSpot marketing emails to Google Maps leads?[#](#can-i-send-hubspot-marketing-emails-to-google-maps-leads) Not as a cold list. HubSpot's own policies require verifiable opt-in for marketing email and bar contacting recipients from purchased, rented or other third-party lists, including enrichment lists. HubSpot's help center says you can still send a one-to-one email to a new contact. Many teams use HubSpot as the CRM and send first-touch outreach from a dedicated cold email tool. Check HubSpot's terms and get legal advice for your case. ### Do Google Maps leads count as HubSpot marketing contacts?[#](#do-google-maps-leads-count-as-hubspot-marketing-contacts) Only if you set them as marketing contacts. Marketing contacts count toward your billable contact tier, while non-marketing contacts don't. Imported leads you only plan to work by sales email or phone can stay non-marketing. ### Can I push leads to HubSpot without a CSV?[#](#can-i-push-leads-to-hubspot-without-a-csv) Yes. Some lead tools push straight to HubSpot through its API. Leadraft creates or updates a HubSpot contact for each lead, matched by email, with company name, phone, website, city, state, postal code and country set on the contact. You connect it with a HubSpot token that has contacts read and write scopes. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Hunter.io alternatives for finding emails of local businesses (2026) Hunter.io alternatives for local business emails: Leadraft, Outscraper, Snov.io, Findymail, Voila Norbert, Prospeo and Apollo, with November 2026 prices. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Comparison If you sell to **local businesses** (plumbers, dental offices, salons, roofers), the Hunter.io alternative we recommend is **Leadraft**, a tool that **starts from Google Maps and reads each business's own website**, not another domain search. It finds the businesses for you, finds their emails and checks every one against the mail server, from $19 a month (we make Leadraft, so weigh that). The other tools below are finders and databases that work from a domain, a name or a list you already have. Their prices and how they find emails are in the table. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Prices and features come from each vendor's own pages, checked in November 2026 and linked in the Sources. We haven't run an accuracy test across these tools, so none is claimed here._ ## Why is Hunter's domain search thin for small local businesses?[#](#why-is-hunters-domain-search-thin-for-small-local-businesses) Because Hunter can only return what the public web says about a domain, and most small local businesses leave very little behind. Hunter describes Domain Search as returning addresses found "with public sources on the web, along with their discovery dates", each verified or given a confidence score that weighs SMTP checks, the number and quality of sources, and how well the address fits the company's usual pattern. That design works well for a 200-person software company. Its staff appear on its blog, press releases, conference pages and in other people's sites, so there are many sources and a clear pattern (first.last@). A local business breaks each step: - **One address, one page.** A three-person HVAC shop usually publishes one email on its contact page, if any. There's no pattern to learn and no staff names to apply it to. - **No own domain for email.** Many owner-operators use a Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook address while their website sits on another domain. A domain search on the website returns nothing, and you can't domain-search gmail.com. - **No website at all.** Some businesses on Google Maps list only a phone number and a Facebook page. - **Contact forms instead of addresses.** Site builders often hide the email behind a form, or render it with JavaScript, so a plain crawl doesn't see it. - **You need the list first.** Domain Search answers "who works at this company?". It doesn't answer "which plumbers are in Phoenix?". You have to bring the businesses and their domains. None of this is a flaw in Hunter. It's built for companies with their own domain, several staff and a public web presence, and its Free plan includes Domain Search, Email Finder, the verifier, a Sheets add-on, API and MCP access. Local businesses are a different shape of company. For the full manual method, see [how to find emails of local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses). ## How do the Hunter.io alternatives compare?[#](#how-do-the-hunterio-alternatives-compare) Here's the summary, as of November 2026. "Cost per 1,000" is the plan price divided by its email-finding allowance on the cheapest paid tier, billed monthly. It ignores free allowances and unused credits. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Starts from | Cheapest paid plan | About $ per 1,000 emails found | Verification | Free allowance | Unused credits | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Hunter.io** | Domain or company name | $49/mo, 2,000 credits | $24.50 | Included, 0.5 credit each | 50 credits/mo | Don't roll over | | Leadraft | Trade + place on Google Maps | $19/mo, 25,000 businesses + 1,000 checked emails | $19 per 1,000 checked emails, businesses included | Included, catch-all graded | 500 businesses + 50 checked emails/mo | Roll over while plan is active | | Outscraper Emails & Contacts | List of domains | Pay as you go | $3 per 1,000 domains (not per email) | Separate, $3 per 1,000 | 500 domains per 30 days | Prepaid balance | | Snov.io | Domain, name + company, LinkedIn | $39/mo, 1,000 credits | $39 | 1 credit each | 50 credits per 30 days | Roll over on annual plans | | Findymail | Name + company, LinkedIn | $99/mo, 5,000 finder credits | $19.80 | 5,000 verifier credits included | 10 credits | Up to 2× monthly allowance | | Voila Norbert | Name + domain | $49/mo, 1,000 leads | $49 | Pay as you go, $3 per 1,000 | 50 credits once | Not stated | | Prospeo | Person or company database | Price not shown in text we could read | Not calculated | Not stated on plan page | 100 credits/mo | Don't roll over | | Apollo | Person and company database | Basic, $49/mo | Credit allowance not published on the page | Built in | Free plan | Don't roll over | Two caveats. First, a "credit" isn't the same thing everywhere: Hunter charges 1 credit per email found and half a credit per verification, Snov.io 1 credit for either, and Findymail 10 credits for a phone number. Second, most of these tools don't charge for a search that finds nothing, so the real cost depends on your hit rate in your market. ## The alternatives, one by one[#](#the-alternatives-one-by-one) ### 1\. Leadraft: starts from the map, not the domain[#](#1-leadraft-starts-from-the-map-not-the-domain) Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside a place you choose on Google Maps, then opens each business's own website (including its sitemap and a browser render for JavaScript-heavy sites) to find up to 5 emails, each with its role and source. Every email is checked against the live mail server and graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid. Invalid emails are never exported, and Gmail-style free-provider addresses are labeled as such. Plans run from Free (500 businesses, 50 checked emails a month, no card) to Scale at $149 (600,000 businesses, 30,000 checked emails). You pay once per business, ever, and catch-all and invalid grades don't use checked-email credits. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. It's built for the case Hunter can't start from: you don't have a list yet and your prospects are local. What it doesn't do: it doesn't look up named owners or employees. It returns business emails with roles like owner@ or office@, not people's names. More on [how Leadraft finds emails](https://leadraft.co/product/emails). ### 2\. Outscraper Emails & Contacts: crawl a list of domains[#](#2-outscraper-emails--contacts-crawl-a-list-of-domains) Outscraper's Emails & Contacts scraper visits the websites you give it and returns the emails and social links it finds. It's free for the first 500 domains, then $3 per 1,000 domains up to 100,000 and $1 per 1,000 after. Its Google Maps scraper (same tiers, per place) can build the domain list, and its Email Address Verifier is a separate product at the same rates after 25 free checks. It works from a list of websites you already have. Going from Maps to emails to verification in Outscraper is three products, each billed separately. ### 3\. Snov.io: finder, verifier and sequences[#](#3-snovio-finder-verifier-and-sequences) Snov.io finds emails by domain (up to 20,000 domains in a bulk job), by name and company, or from LinkedIn through its Chrome extension. It claims a database of "500M+ B2B email addresses" and says Email Finder results are pre-verified. Starter is $39 a month (or $29.25 billed yearly) for 1,000 credits; Pro M is $189 for 20,000. One credit buys a search or a verification. The free trial renews 50 credits every 30 days but leaves out bulk search and export. Its feature set (finder, verifier, sequences) is close to Hunter's. For local businesses, its domain search has the same limit as Hunter's. ### 4\. Findymail: pay only for verified finds[#](#4-findymail-pay-only-for-verified-finds) Findymail's credit plan is $99 a month for 5,000 finder credits and 5,000 verifier credits, and it says "You only pay for verified results." One email costs 1 credit, a phone number 10. Unused credits carry over up to twice the monthly allowance. It's built around name + company and LinkedIn lookups. ### 5\. Voila Norbert: simple name + domain lookups[#](#5-voila-norbert-simple-name--domain-lookups) Voila Norbert's prospecting plans start at $49 a month ($39 yearly) for 1,000 leads, up to $499 ($399 yearly) for 50,000. It counts only successful finds. Verification is pay as you go: $0.003 per email up to 500,000, with a $2 minimum. You get 50 free credits on sign-up. It's built for lookups where you know the person's name and the business has its own domain. ### 6\. Prospeo: a contact database with a generous free plan[#](#6-prospeo-a-contact-database-with-a-generous-free-plan) Prospeo sells credits to reveal emails and mobile numbers from its database. Its help center lists 100 credits a month free, and 2,000, 5,000 and 15,000 credits per user per month on Starter, Growth and Pro. Credits don't roll over. The dollar prices are on its pricing page, which we couldn't read as text, so they're left out here. ### 7\. Apollo: a contact database with sequences[#](#7-apollo-a-contact-database-with-sequences) Apollo is a people-and-company database with sequencing on top. It lists Basic at $49 and Professional at $99 a month, and its pricing page says credits don't roll over. Paid plans can also import local companies from Google Maps. If you're weighing Apollo specifically for local prospects, see [Apollo alternatives for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/apollo-alternatives-local-businesses). ## What does Leadraft do for each situation?[#](#what-does-leadraft-do-for-each-situation) Start from the question you're really asking. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Your situation | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | "I need every dentist in Dallas with a working email" | Finds every dentist in the area on Google Maps, reads their websites and checks each email | | "I have 2,000 local business websites already" | Search the same trade and area instead; you pay once per business, and the emails come back checked | | "I know the owner's name and the business's domain" | Not what Leadraft does: it doesn't look up a named person | | "My buyers are managers at 50+ person companies" | Not what Leadraft does: it's built for local businesses | | "I need the owner's personal name" | Not what Leadraft does.

It takes an hour and beats any review. 1. **Pick 50 real prospects** from one trade and one city, including some without websites. 2. **Run each tool on its free allowance.** Note how many businesses get any email, and how many get a non-generic one. 3. **Verify everything with one verifier**, so the results are comparable. Treat catch-all as a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)).

Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## What should you use to find local business emails?[#](#what-should-you-use-to-find-local-business-emails) Leadraft. A domain search needs a list you don't have yet, and local businesses leave too little on the web for it to work well. Leadraft starts from the trade and the area, finds the businesses, reads their own websites and checks every email, so the list and the emails come from one place. Starter is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails; Hunter's Starter is $49 a month for 2,000 credits, and you still bring the domains. You pay once per business, ever, catch-all and invalid grades don't use credits, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. For a bigger budget question, see [ZoomInfo alternatives for small business](https://leadraft.co/blog/zoominfo-alternatives-small-business). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best Hunter.io alternative for local businesses?[#](#what-is-the-best-hunterio-alternative-for-local-businesses) Leadraft (we make it). For plumbers, dentists, salons and other local businesses, it starts from Google Maps instead of a domain, reads each business's own website for emails, and checks every address against the mail server. Starter is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails, so you don't need to bring a list of domains or pay a separate verifier. ### Why does Hunter find so few emails for small businesses?[#](#why-does-hunter-find-so-few-emails-for-small-businesses) Hunter's Domain Search returns addresses it has found on public web pages for a domain, plus a confidence score based on the company's email pattern. A small local business often has one email on one page, uses a Gmail or Yahoo address instead of its own domain, or has no website at all. There is little for any domain index to find. ### Is there a free Hunter.io alternative?[#](#is-there-a-free-hunterio-alternative) Most have a small free allowance. As of November 2026: Snov.io's trial gives 50 credits every 30 days, Prospeo's free plan 100 credits a month, Voila Norbert 50 credits once, Findymail 10 credits, Outscraper 500 domains every 30 days, and Leadraft 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month. ### How much does Hunter.io cost?[#](#how-much-does-hunterio-cost) As of November 2026, Hunter's Free plan gives 50 credits a month. Starter is $49 a month for 2,000 credits, Growth $149 for 10,000 and Scale $299 for 25,000, or about 30% less billed yearly. One credit finds one email; a verification costs half a credit. Credits reset monthly and don't roll over. ### Can Hunter find emails that use Gmail?[#](#can-hunter-find-emails-that-use-gmail) Not through Domain Search, because the domain is gmail.com, not the business. Free-provider addresses only appear where the business publishes them: its website, its Google Business Profile, its Facebook page. You find them by reading those pages, not by searching a domain.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Instant Data Scraper on Google Maps: how to use it, what it captures and its limits How to use the free Instant Data Scraper extension on Google Maps, step by step: what it captures, why it stops near 120 results with no emails, and when to upgrade. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Guide Yes, the free **Instant Data Scraper** extension works on Google Maps. Search for a trade in a city, scroll the results panel to the bottom, click the extension, and it exports the listings to CSV or Excel. It copies what the results panel shows: business name, rating, review count, category and a short address, with phone and website less reliable. It **doesn't get emails**, because Maps listings rarely have them, and one search stops at **about 120 businesses**, because that's where Google Maps stops loading. That makes it a good tool for a quick list of one neighborhood, and a slow one for a whole city with emails. This guide covers the steps, what you'll actually get, and the point where an upgrade saves time. _Leadraft wrote this guide. We make a paid lead tool, mentioned near the end. Facts about the extension come from its Chrome Web Store listing, checked in November 2026. We didn't run a formal test, so check the columns on your own search._ ## What is Instant Data Scraper?[#](#what-is-instant-data-scraper) Instant Data Scraper is a free Chrome extension (also on Microsoft Edge) that finds repeating data on any web page, such as a table or a list of cards, and exports it. It isn't built for Google Maps. It works on Maps because the results panel is a list of similar blocks. As of November 2026, its Chrome Web Store listing shows: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Detail | Value | | --- | --- | | Offered by | Flavr Technology, LP | | Users | 1,000,000 | | Rating | 4.9 from 7.8K ratings | | Version | 1.9.3, updated October 16, 2026 | | Price | Free | | Export | XLS, XLSX, CSV, or copy to clipboard | | Features listed | AI table detection, infinite scroll, next-page buttons, adjustable delay and max wait, column rename and filter | | Privacy | Says data stays in your browser. Discloses that it handles "web history" | ## How do you use Instant Data Scraper on Google Maps?[#](#how-do-you-use-instant-data-scraper-on-google-maps) It takes about five minutes per search. The one step people skip is scrolling first. 1. **Install it.** Add Instant Data Scraper from the Chrome Web Store. No account or key is needed. 2. **Search Google Maps in list view.** Use "trade in place" phrasing, such as "plumbers in Austin, TX". Stay on the results list, not a single business page. 3. **Scroll the results panel to the end.** Keep scrolling until Google shows that you've reached the end of the list. The panel loads more listings only as you scroll, and the extension can only copy what's loaded. If you start straight away, you'll get about the first 20. 4. **Click the extension icon.** It highlights the block it thinks is the data. If the row count looks wrong, or it picked a menu, click **Try another table** until it highlights the listings. 5. **Check the preview.** Look at the columns. Delete the ones you don't need and rename the rest (Name, Rating, Reviews, Category, Address). 6. **Export to CSV.** CSV is the safest choice. Some users report garbled accents in XLSX. Wait until the crawl shows it's done before you download. 7. **Clean up in a spreadsheet.** Split any merged columns (category and address often share a cell) and remove blank rows. To cover more ground, repeat steps 2 to 6 for each neighborhood or ZIP code, then merge the files. ## What data does Instant Data Scraper capture from Google Maps?[#](#what-data-does-instant-data-scraper-capture-from-google-maps) It captures what's visible in each card of the results list, not the full business profile. Phone numbers, websites and hours are on the detail panel, which only opens when you click a business, so they're often missing or partial. Based on third-party walkthroughs (linked in the Sources) and how the Maps list displays: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Field | Captured? | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Business name | Yes | Reliable | | Rating and review count | Usually | Sometimes in one cell, so split it | | Category | Usually | The main category only | | Address | Partial | Street only, often no city or ZIP | | Phone | Sometimes | Shown in some list layouts, not others | | Website | Sometimes | May be a Google redirect link, not a clean domain | | Open now / hours | Partial | A status line, not full hours | | Email | No | Maps listings rarely show one ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/does-google-maps-show-emails)) | | Place ID, coordinates, all categories | No | Not in the visible list | Column names come from the page's HTML, so expect odd headers you'll rename. Google changes the Maps layout from time to time, and when it does, the detected columns change too. ## What are Instant Data Scraper's limits on Google Maps?[#](#what-are-instant-data-scrapers-limits-on-google-maps) The big ones are the result cap, no emails, and the manual work. In order of how much they cost you: - **About 120 results per search.** Google Maps stops loading listings at around 120 for one search. In a big city that can be a fraction of the trade. More in [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). - **No emails.** You get a list to call or research, not a list to email. - **List-panel data only.** Full address, phone, website and hours need the detail panel, which the extension doesn't open. - **Manual scrolling and repeats.** Every search is a scroll, a click and an export by hand. - **No deduplication.** Overlapping searches return the same business more than once. A business that shows up under two keywords appears twice. - **No area check.** Maps can show businesses just outside the place you typed. You'll filter those yourself. - **No scheduling or refresh.** To find new businesses next month, you run it all again. In its favor: it's free, it's fast for one search, it needs no account, and the data stays in your browser. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) ## How do you get more than 120 results with Instant Data Scraper?[#](#how-do-you-get-more-than-120-results-with-instant-data-scraper) Split the area into smaller searches, export each one, then merge and dedupe. That's how every tool gets past the cap; the extension just makes you do it by hand. 1. **List the pieces.** Use ZIP codes or neighborhoods. A big US city can have dozens of ZIP codes. 2. **Search each piece.** For example, "plumbers 78701", then "plumbers 78702". 3. **Export each search** with the steps above, into one folder. 4. **Merge the files** into one sheet. 5. **Remove duplicates** on name plus street address. Name alone merges different branches of the same chain. 6. **Drop out-of-area rows** by checking the ZIP or city column. A rough time budget, using our own assumptions: if a city needs 40 searches and each takes about 4 minutes to search, scroll, export and save, that's over 2.5 hours before merging. Add another keyword ("plumbing contractor") and it doubles. ## How do you add emails to an Instant Data Scraper export?[#](#how-do-you-add-emails-to-an-instant-data-scraper-export) You need a second step for every business with a website. Then check each email before you send. 1. **Get the domain.** Use the website column, or search the business name if it's blank or a redirect link. 2. **Look on the site.** Check the contact page, footer and About page for an address. Our guide on [how to find emails of local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses) covers where they hide. 3. **Or use a finder.** Email finders and website crawlers can do this in bulk. See [Hunter.io alternatives](https://leadraft.co/blog/hunter-io-alternatives) for why domain-based finders often come up thin on small local businesses. 4. **Verify every address.** A checker tells you if the mailbox exists. Many small-business servers are catch-all and accept every address, so treat those as a maybe ([catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). Prices per 1,000 are in [best email verifiers](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-email-verifiers). ## When should you move from Instant Data Scraper to Leadraft?[#](#when-should-you-move-from-instant-data-scraper-to-leadraft) When the hours cost more than a tool. If any two of these are true, Leadraft will save you time. - [ ] You need more than one city, or a whole metro. - [ ] You need emails, not just phone numbers. - [ ] You need the same list refreshed every month. - [ ] You need a drawn area or radius, not a typed place. - [ ] You send to a cold-email tool or CRM. Here's how the extension and the hosted tools' free tiers compare on the same search, as of November 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Free tier | Gets past ~120? | Emails | Verification | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leadraft | 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month | Yes | Included | Included, catch-all graded | | Instant Data Scraper | Free | No, by hand | No | No | | Outscraper | 500 places and 500 contacts every 30 days | Not described on its page | $3 per 1,000 domains after free | Separate, 25 free | | Apify Google Maps Scraper | $5 of usage a month | Yes, with a location | Add-on | Add-on for people leads only | | G Maps Extractor | 1,000 records a month | Not described | Included | Not described | Leadraft is ours, so weigh that, but it's the tool we recommend once you need a whole city with emails. It searches the whole area you choose (a city, county, postcode, radius, drawn polygon or KML file) in one run, so the 40 searches and 2.5 hours in the example above become one search. It charges only for businesses inside the area and in the trade, finds emails on each business's own website, and checks them against the live mail server, so there's no second finder or verifier step. You're charged once per business, ever, and businesses outside your area are shown free. The Free plan covers 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month with no card. What it doesn't do: it doesn't pull review text or photos, and it isn't a browser extension. For more free options, see [free Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/free-google-maps-scraper), and for the paid field, [the best Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-google-maps-scrapers). ## Is it legal to use Instant Data Scraper on Google Maps?[#](#is-it-legal-to-use-instant-data-scraper-on-google-maps) Installing the extension is fine. Using it on Google Maps runs into Google's terms, which restrict bulk copying of Maps content and using it to build mailing or telemarketing lists. That's a contract question, separate from whether the business facts are public and from privacy laws on personal data, such as an owner's name. We explain the difference in [is scraping Google Maps legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal). Get legal advice for your situation. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Does Instant Data Scraper work on Google Maps?[#](#does-instant-data-scraper-work-on-google-maps) Yes. Open a Google Maps search in list view, scroll the results panel to the end, then run the extension. It detects the repeating listing blocks and exports them to CSV or Excel. It only captures what the results panel has loaded, which for one search is about 120 businesses at most. ### Is Instant Data Scraper free?[#](#is-instant-data-scraper-free) Yes. Its Chrome Web Store listing says it is free and that scraped data stays in your browser. As of November 2026 it lists 1,000,000 users and a 4.9 rating from 7.8K ratings, offered by Flavr Technology, LP. ### Can Instant Data Scraper get emails from Google Maps?[#](#can-instant-data-scraper-get-emails-from-google-maps) No. Google Maps listings rarely show an email, so there is nothing for the extension to copy. You'd need to visit each business website, use an email finder, or use a tool that crawls websites for you, then verify the addresses before sending. ### Why does Instant Data Scraper stop at about 120 results on Google Maps?[#](#why-does-instant-data-scraper-stop-at-about-120-results-on-google-maps) Because Google Maps stops loading more listings for one search at around 120. The extension reads only what the page has loaded. To get more, split the area into smaller searches by ZIP code or neighborhood, export each one, then merge and remove duplicates. ### Is it legal to use Instant Data Scraper on Google Maps?[#](#is-it-legal-to-use-instant-data-scraper-on-google-maps-1) The extension is legal to install, but Google's Maps terms restrict bulk copying of Maps content and using it to build mailing lists. Business facts, personal data and contract terms are separate questions. Get legal advice for your use. ## Sources[#](#sources) All pages checked as of November 2026. 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Instantly SuperSearch (Lead Finder) review for local business leads Instantly SuperSearch, now Lead Finder, reviewed for local business leads: the Local section, credits per lead, prices, and how Leadraft builds local lists you push into Instantly. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Comparison Instantly SuperSearch, which Instantly's help center now calls Lead Finder, is the lead database inside the Instantly cold email platform. It covers what Instantly describes as 450M+ verified B2B leads and, in a separate Local section, 50M+ local businesses you can filter by category, radius, rating and reviews. A local business costs 2 credits and is charged only when an email is found, and credit plans start at $9 a month as of November 2026. For local business lists, we recommend building the list in Leadraft and sending it from Instantly: Leadraft finds every business inside the area you choose, finds several emails per business and grades catch-all addresses separately, then pushes Verified emails into your Instantly campaign. The details, prices and a worked example follow, with Instantly's facts from its own pages. ## What is Instantly SuperSearch?[#](#what-is-instantly-supersearch) SuperSearch is Instantly's built-in lead database: you search, enrich, and move leads into an Instantly campaign without a CSV. Instantly renamed it Lead Finder ("formerly SuperSearch", in its help center); the older Lead Finder product it replaced used separate per-lead enrichment pricing. What Instantly says it includes, as of November 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Feature | Per Instantly | | --- | --- | | B2B database | "450M+ verified B2B Leads" | | Local businesses | "50M+ local businesses", in a separate Local section | | Creators | "55M+ creator profiles" | | Email finding | "Waterfall Work Email Enrichment with 5+ providers" | | Search | Filters, plus a plain-language AI search ("Type your ideal lead description") | | B2B filters | Title, seniority, company size, industry, location, buying intent, technologies, headcount, revenue, lookalike companies | | Delivery | Save to a list, then Move to Campaign, or send to a campaign directly; CSV or Excel export | | Verification | Instantly says the data is verified; verifying addresses you already have costs 0.25 credits each | The B2B side is a people database: names, titles and work emails at companies. That's a different job from local prospecting, where the "contact" is usually the business itself. ## What does the Local section do?[#](#what-does-the-local-section-do) The Local section is Instantly's answer to Google Maps prospecting. You describe a business or pick a category, set a location and radius on an interactive map, and filter. Instantly's help center lists these local filters: - Category - Location, with an adjustable radius - Rating - Reviews - Number of locations - Keywords - Website - Opened (how long the business has existed) - Data updated (when the record was last refreshed) Click "Get these businesses" and each one is enriched with company name, work email, website, category, address, city, state, rating, number of reviews, and phone number when available. Instantly says it works in many countries, and the map shows how many businesses are in an area before you spend any credits. Searching is free. Instantly doesn't say where its local business data comes from, how often each record is refreshed beyond the "Data updated" filter, or how completely it covers a given city. That isn't a criticism; few databases publish it. It means you should test coverage on your own market before committing (a method is below). ## How much does Instantly SuperSearch cost?[#](#how-much-does-instantly-supersearch-cost) Lead Finder runs on Instantly credits, sold as credit plans separate from Instantly's outreach (sending) plans. Instantly's help center lists these monthly plans as of November 2026, with 10% off when paid annually: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Credit plan | Per month | Credits a month | | --- | --- | --- | | Nano | $9 | 150 | | Growth | $47 | 1,500 | | Growth 2 | $77 | 2,000 | | Supersonic | $97 | 5,000 | | Supersonic 2 | $147 | 7,500 | | Hyper | $197 | 10,000 | | Hyper 2 | $300 | 20,000 | | Hyper 3 | $500 | 45,000 | | Hyper 4 | $997 | 100,000 | | Hyper 5 | $1,400 | 150,000 | | Hyper 6 | $1,700 | 200,000 | Enterprise is custom for 200,000+ credits. Instantly's pricing page also shows bundles that combine sending and the database (Starter at $94 a month with 1,500 credits, Scale at $194 with 5,000, Agency at $555 with 10,000, as listed in November 2026). What a credit buys: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Action | Credits | | --- | --- | | Verified work email found by Instantly | 1 | | Verified work email from a data partner | 2 | | Average per verified work email | about 1.5 | | Local business (charged only when an email is found) | 2 | | AI enrichment | about 0.5 per row | | Verifying an email you already have | 0.25 | Credits on monthly plans expire two months after purchase if unused; on annual plans, one year after purchase. ## What does a local list cost in Instantly, worked through?[#](#what-does-a-local-list-cost-in-instantly-worked-through) Say you want 1,000 HVAC contractors with an email across the Phoenix metro. - **Instantly Local:** 1,000 businesses with an email × 2 credits = 2,000 credits. Growth 2 is $77 for 2,000 credits a month, so about $0.077 per business. Unused credits last two months on a monthly plan. You also need an outreach plan to send. - **Leadraft:** with "email required" on (the default), a search only counts businesses that end up with an email, so 1,000 such businesses use 1,000 business credits. Each Verified email you take out uses one checked-email credit; accept-all and invalid grades are free. Starter is $19 a month for 25,000 business credits and 1,000 checked emails, so the same list fits in one Starter month if all 1,000 emails are Verified. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). Those aren't like-for-like products. Instantly's price includes the search inside the tool you already send from; Leadraft's is a separate subscription that then pushes into Instantly. And the number that matters isn't price per row: it's how many of the businesses in your territory each source finds, and how many of the emails are deliverable. That you can only learn by testing. ## How do I compare coverage for my own market?[#](#how-do-i-compare-coverage-for-my-own-market) Run the same search in both places and compare counts before you spend anything. Both tools let you see a count first: Instantly's map shows how many businesses are in an area before credits are used, and Leadraft's free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails hidden. 1. Pick one trade and one place you know: "roofer" in one county or ZIP code. 2. Note Instantly's Local count for that category and radius. 3. Run the same trade and area in a Google Maps-based tool's preview. Searching an area tile by tile matters here, because one Google Maps search stops at about 120 results ([why Google Maps stops at 120](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). 4. Compare the totals, and spot-check 20 businesses you know exist. 5. Check the email side: how many rows have an email, and whether catch-all addresses are labeled. A radius is a circle; real territories rarely are. If your market is a county, a set of ZIP codes or a drawn sales territory, a circle either misses edges or pulls in businesses you can't serve. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## Where does Leadraft fit?[#](#where-does-leadraft-fit) Leadraft is built for one job: complete lists of local businesses, with checked emails, that you then send from the tool you already use, Instantly included.

In the Phoenix example above, 1,000 HVAC contractors and 1,000 Verified emails fit inside one $19 Starter month, versus about $77 of Instantly credits plus your sending plan. You also get up to 5 emails per business, catch-alls graded apart, and unused credits that roll over while your plan is active instead of expiring after two months. You also choose the exact area, not a circle, and pay once per business, ever. That's how most teams use the two together: source local businesses in Leadraft, then push them into Instantly to send. Our guide to [importing Google Maps leads into Instantly](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-leads-to-instantly) has the field mapping. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is Instantly SuperSearch?[#](#what-is-instantly-supersearch-1) SuperSearch is the lead database built into Instantly, the cold email platform. Instantly's help center now calls it Lead Finder (formerly SuperSearch). It searches a database Instantly describes as 450M+ verified B2B leads, plus a Local section Instantly describes as 50M+ local businesses, and sends results straight into Instantly campaigns. ### How much does Instantly SuperSearch cost?[#](#how-much-does-instantly-supersearch-cost-1) Lead Finder uses Instantly credits, sold as separate credit plans. As of November 2026 Instantly's help center lists plans from Nano at $9 a month for 150 credits to Hyper 6 at $1,700 for 200,000, with Growth at $47 for 1,500. A verified work email averages 1.5 credits, and a local business costs 2 credits, charged only when an email is found. ### Does Instantly SuperSearch have local businesses?[#](#does-instantly-supersearch-have-local-businesses) Yes. Lead Finder has a Local section where you filter businesses by category, location and radius, rating, reviews, number of locations, keywords, website and how long they've been open. A record includes company name, work email, website, category, address, city, state, rating, review count and phone when available. Instantly doesn't name the source of its local data. ### Do Instantly SuperSearch credits roll over?[#](#do-instantly-supersearch-credits-roll-over) Partly. Per Instantly's help center as of November 2026, credits on monthly plans expire two months after purchase if unused, and credits on annual plans expire one year after purchase. ### Can I use Leadraft with Instantly?[#](#can-i-use-leadraft-with-instantly) Yes. Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside a city, county, postcode or drawn area on Google Maps, finds up to 5 emails per business on its own website, and checks each one. You then push Verified emails straight into an Instantly campaign, with Instantly's own verification left off so you don't spend Instantly credits re-checking. Instantly stays the tool you send from. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

An Honest Answer URL: https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal Summary: Google's terms prohibit scraping Maps. What that means in law in 2026: contract vs crime, hiQ, Google v. SerpApi, the CFAA, GDPR and CCPA, and email rules. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Is scraping Google Maps legal? An honest answer Google's terms prohibit scraping Maps. What that means in law in 2026: contract vs crime, hiQ, Google v. SerpApi, the CFAA, GDPR and CCPA, and email rules. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 16 min Category Guide Scraping Google Maps breaks Google's terms of service, which prohibit scraping Maps content and using it to build business listings databases or mailing lists. In the US, breaking a website's terms is usually a contract issue, not a crime: courts have held that scraping public pages generally doesn't violate the federal anti-hacking law (the CFAA), but scrapers have lost on breach of contract. The newest test went the scraper's way: on July 20, 2026, a federal judge dismissed Google's DMCA claims against SerpApi over scraping Google Search, and Google is now pursuing a narrower amended complaint. On top of the contract question, privacy laws apply when the data identifies people, and anti-spam laws apply when you send email. **Last reviewed November 3, 2026.** This article explains each layer with sources. It is not legal advice, and if your business depends on it, talk to a lawyer. ## Where does the law stand in November 2026?[#](#where-does-the-law-stand-in-november-2026) Five points summarize it, each covered below with sources: 1. **Google's terms still prohibit it.** Both the Maps end-user terms and the Maps Platform (API) terms bar scraping and building lead lists from Maps content. 2. **Access to public pages is generally not a federal crime.** _Van Buren_ (2021) and _hiQ v. LinkedIn_ (2022) narrowed the CFAA. 3. **Contracts are enforceable.** hiQ won on the CFAA and still lost on breach of LinkedIn's terms, ending with a $500,000 judgment. 4. **Google's DMCA theory against scrapers has so far failed.** In _Google v. SerpApi_, the court dismissed both DMCA claims on July 20, 2026. Google refiled a narrower version on August 10, 2026, and SerpApi moved to dismiss again. We found no ruling on that motion as of November 3, 2026. 5. **What you do with the data is regulated separately:** GDPR and UK GDPR for personal data, CCPA for California residents, and CAN-SPAM, CASL and PECR for the emails you send. ## What do Google's terms actually say?[#](#what-do-googles-terms-actually-say) There are two sets of terms, depending on how you touch Google Maps, and both restrict scraping. **If you use Google Maps itself** (the website or app), the [Google Maps End User Additional Terms of Service](https://www.google.com/help/terms_maps/) apply, last modified January 27, 2026. Under "Prohibited Conduct", you may not: > "redistribute or sell any part of Google Maps or create a new product or service based on Google Maps; copy the content (unless you are otherwise permitted to do so by the Using Google Maps, Google Earth, and Street View permissions page or applicable intellectual property law, including "fair use"); mass download or create bulk feeds of the content (or let anyone else do so); use Google Maps to create or augment any other mapping-related dataset (including a mapping or navigation dataset, business listings database, mailing list, or telemarketing list) for use in a service that is a substitute for, or a substantially similar service to, Google Maps" **If you use the Google Maps Platform APIs** (such as the Places API), the [Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms) apply. Section 3.2.3(a), "No Scraping", says: > "Customer will not export, extract, or otherwise scrape Google Maps Content for use outside the Services. For example, Customer will not: (i) pre-fetch, index, store, reshare, or rehost Google Maps Content outside the services; (ii) bulk download ... places information ...; (iii) copy and save business names, addresses, or user reviews" Section 3.2.3(b) adds "No Caching", except as the [service-specific terms](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-service-terms) allow: place IDs may be cached, and Places API latitude and longitude for up to 30 consecutive days. So the plain answer to "does Google allow it?" is no. The API terms also mean the official [Places API](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-places-api-vs-scraping) isn't a way around the problem for lead lists. Any tool or article that suggests Google permits scraping Maps for lead lists is wrong. ## Is breaking Google's terms the same as breaking the law?[#](#is-breaking-googles-terms-the-same-as-breaking-the-law) No. Terms of service are a contract between you and Google. Breaking a contract can get you blocked, get accounts terminated, and get you sued for damages or an injunction. It is not, by itself, a crime. Whether you're bound at all depends on whether you agreed to the terms (for example by using a logged-in account or signing up for the API) and how a court reads them. The law that matters splits into three questions: 1. **Access:** did you break into anything? (In the US, the CFAA.) 2. **The data:** is it protected by copyright, or is it personal data? (Copyright law; GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA.) 3. **The use:** how do you contact people? (CAN-SPAM, CASL, PECR and national rules.) ## What have US courts said about scraping public data?[#](#what-have-us-courts-said-about-scraping-public-data) Courts have mostly held that scraping public pages isn't "hacking", while confirming that website terms can be enforced as contracts. Four cases set the picture. ### hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn: a CFAA win, then a contract loss[#](#hiq-labs-v-linkedin-a-cfaa-win-then-a-contract-loss) hiQ scraped public LinkedIn profiles. LinkedIn sent a cease-and-desist letter in 2017 and hiQ sued to keep scraping. - **2019:** the Ninth Circuit upheld a preliminary injunction for hiQ, finding hiQ had raised serious questions about whether the CFAA applies to public profiles. - **June 2021:** the Supreme Court vacated that decision and sent it back for reconsideration in light of _Van Buren_ (below). - **April 18, 2022:** the Ninth Circuit reaffirmed its view, holding that _Van Buren_ reinforced that the CFAA's "without authorization" concept likely doesn't apply to data a website makes publicly available ([Proskauer](https://www.proskauer.com/blog/taking-cue-from-the-supreme-courts-van-buren-decision-ninth-circuit-releases-new-opinion-holding-scraping-of-publicly-available-website-data-falls-outside-of-cfaa)). - **November 2022:** the district court granted LinkedIn summary judgment on breach of contract, holding that hiQ violated LinkedIn's User Agreement through automated scraping and by using fake profiles ([ZwillGen](https://www.zwillgen.com/alternative-data/hiq-v-linkedin-wrapped-up-web-scraping-lessons-learned/)). - **December 2022:** the case ended with a consent judgment: $500,000 against hiQ, a permanent injunction to stop scraping LinkedIn, and deletion of the scraped data and the code and algorithms built from it ([Proskauer](https://newmedialaw.proskauer.com/2022/12/08/hiq-and-linkedin-reach-proposed-settlement-in-landmark-scraping-case/)). So hiQ is often cited as "scraping public data is legal". That's half the story. The CFAA argument went hiQ's way, and the contract argument ended the company's scraping. ### Van Buren v. United States (2021)[#](#van-buren-v-united-states-2021) The Supreme Court read the CFAA's "exceeds authorized access" narrowly: it covers getting into parts of a system you aren't allowed into, not misusing information you were entitled to access ([Supreme Court opinion](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/19-783_k53l.pdf)). That's why courts since have been reluctant to treat scraping of public pages as a federal crime. ### Meta v. Bright Data (2024)[#](#meta-v-bright-data-2024) In January 2024, a federal judge in California granted Bright Data summary judgment against Meta, holding that Facebook's and Instagram's terms covered logged-in use, so Bright Data's logged-off scraping of public data didn't breach them ([Farella Braun + Martel](https://www.fbm.com/data-analytics/publications/major-decision-affects-law-of-scraping-and-online-data-collection-meta-platforms-v-bright-data/)). Meta later dropped its remaining claims ([MediaPost](https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/393996/meta-abandons-lawsuit-against-bright-data-over-scr.html)). The lesson cuts both ways: being logged in, and agreeing to terms, is what makes them bite. ### Google v. SerpApi (2025 to now)[#](#google-v-serpapi-2025-to-now) This is the case to watch, because it's Google itself suing a scraper. - **December 19, 2025:** Google sued SerpApi in the Northern District of California (No. 25-cv-10826-YGR). Instead of breach of contract, it used the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions (17 U.S.C. § 1201), arguing that SerpApi got around SearchGuard, Google's anti-bot system. - **July 20, 2026:** Chief Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers granted SerpApi's motion to dismiss. For search results that contain no copyrighted content, both claims were dismissed **without leave to amend**: an anti-bot system can't "effectively control access" to a copyrighted work when no copyrighted work is involved. For licensed content shown in Knowledge Panels (such as images), the claims were dismissed **with leave to amend**, because Google hadn't pleaded that the copyright owners authorized SearchGuard. The court did reject some of SerpApi's arguments, including that Google lacked standing ([PPC Land](https://ppc.land/google-loses-dmca-bid-to-treat-search-scraping-like-dvd-piracy/); [Search Engine Land](https://searchengineland.com/google-loses-key-dmca-claims-against-serpapi-in-scraping-lawsuit-483185)). - **August 10, 2026:** Google filed an amended complaint limited to licensed content. According to PPC Land, it dropped the theories based on Google Shopping and Google Maps content ([PPC Land](https://ppc.land/serpapi-asks-judge-to-end-googles-scraping-case-over-three-unseen-contracts/)). - **August 24, 2026:** SerpApi moved to dismiss the amended complaint with prejudice ([SerpApi](https://serpapi.com/blog/google-tried-again-were-moving-to-dismiss-their-claims-a-second-time/), a party's own account). We found no ruling on that motion as of November 3, 2026. What it means for Maps: the case is about Search, it isn't over, and a DMCA loss doesn't touch Google's contract terms. But it's the clearest sign so far that Google is willing to sue scrapers, and that a copyright-style theory is hard to apply to plain facts like business names and addresses. ### What about copyright?[#](#what-about-copyright) Facts aren't protected by copyright in the US. In _Feist v. Rural_ (1991), the Supreme Court held that the names, towns and phone numbers in a phone directory were facts, free to copy ([Justia](https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/499/340/)). A business's name, address and phone number are facts. Review text and photos are different: they're creative content owned by their authors, so stay away from copying them. ## What's the risk for each kind of data?[#](#whats-the-risk-for-each-kind-of-data) It depends far more on the data and what you do with it than on the fact of scraping. Here's our general read of the main layers for each type, as a starting point for a conversation with your lawyer, not a verdict: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Data type | Examples | Google's terms | Copyright | Privacy law | Relative risk | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Public business facts** | Business name, address, phone, website, category, hours, rating and review count | Prohibited to scrape or save from Maps (contract) | Facts aren't protected in the US (_Feist_) | Generally not personal data for companies; can be for sole traders | **Lower**, but still a contract issue with Google | | **Personal data** | Owner names, personal mobiles, `jane.smith@` emails, sole traders' details | Prohibited to scrape (contract) | Not the main issue | GDPR and UK GDPR apply in the EU and UK; CCPA for California residents if you meet its thresholds | **Higher**: needs a lawful basis, notice and opt-out handling | | **Reviews and photos** | Review text, reviewer names, customer and owner photos | Prohibited; the API terms name "user reviews" explicitly | Creative content owned by its authors | Reviewer names and faces are personal data | **Highest**: avoid copying them | | **Using the data to send** | Cold email, calls, texts to the businesses on your list | Separate from how you got the data | | CAN-SPAM, CASL, PECR, GDPR and national rules; phone and text rules are stricter | **Depends on the channel and country**: follow the rules for each send | Two patterns stand out. First, the more a field identifies a person, the more law applies to it. Second, the use matters as much as the source: a list of plumbers' business phone numbers is low-risk data, and texting those numbers without consent can still break the law. ## What about personal data?[#](#what-about-personal-data) Business facts aren't personal data, but a lot of what lead lists contain is. A sole trader's name, a personal mobile number and `jane.smith@smithdental.com` all identify a person. Privacy laws apply to those. ### EU GDPR and UK GDPR[#](#eu-gdpr-and-uk-gdpr) If you process personal data of people in the EU or UK, GDPR (and its UK version) applies, wherever you're based. - **Lawful basis.** For B2B prospecting it's usually [legitimate interests](https://leadraft.co/glossary/gdpr-legitimate-interest), under [Article 6(1)(f)](https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/). [Recital 47](https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-47/) says processing "for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest", but you have to do and document a balancing test. - **Tell people.** When you didn't get the data from the person, [Article 14](https://gdpr-info.eu/art-14-gdpr/) requires telling them who you are, what you hold and where it came from, at the latest when you first contact them. - **Honor objections.** Under [Article 21](https://gdpr-info.eu/art-21-gdpr/), people can object to direct marketing at any time, and then you must stop. Generic company addresses (`info@` at a limited company) are generally not personal data. But the email marketing rules below still apply to them. ### US privacy law (CCPA)[#](#us-privacy-law-ccpa) The California Consumer Privacy Act applies to businesses that meet its thresholds (an inflation-adjusted revenue threshold, or large volumes of California residents' data). Its exemption for business-to-business contact data expired on January 1, 2023, so B2B contact details of California residents are now covered ([Katten](https://katten.com/california-consumer-privacy-acts-employee-and-b2b-exemptions-to-expire-on-january-1-2023)). If the CCPA applies to you, that means privacy notices and honoring requests to delete or opt out. Other US states have similar laws with their own thresholds. ## What rules apply when I email the businesses?[#](#what-rules-apply-when-i-email-the-businesses) Anti-spam law applies whatever the source of the list. Our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) goes country by country; here's the summary. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Law | Where | B2B cold email allowed without consent? | Key requirements | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CAN-SPAM | US | Yes | No false headers or deceptive subjects; identify it as an ad; include a valid physical postal address; clear opt-out; honor it within 10 business days. Up to $53,088 per violating email ([FTC](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business)) | | CASL | Canada | Only with consent; implied consent if the address is conspicuously published, without a no-spam statement, and the message is relevant to the person's role | Identify yourself, include an unsubscribe that works for 60 days, process it within 10 business days. Penalties up to $10 million per violation for organizations ([CASL](https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/E-1.6/FullText.html)) | | PECR + UK GDPR | UK | To corporate subscribers (limited companies, LLPs), yes; to sole traders and some partnerships, no | Say who you are, give a valid contact address and an opt-out ([ICO](https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-privacy-and-electronic-communications/business-to-business-marketing/)) | | ePrivacy national laws + GDPR | EU | Varies by country; Germany generally requires prior consent even for B2B email | Check the country before you send ([UWG §7](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/uwg_2004/__7.html)) | Note the CASL detail: the Canadian regulator has said that an address being findable online isn't enough. It has to be conspicuously published by the person, and a list built by a third party doesn't create consent on its own ([Bennett Jones](https://www.bennettjones.com/Insights/Blogs/2016/11/CRTC-Assesses-Conspicuous-Publication-Basis-of-Implied-Consent-in-CASL-Enforcement-Decision)). ## What happens if Google sends a cease-and-desist or blocks you?[#](#what-happens-if-google-sends-a-cease-and-desist-or-blocks-you) Usually the first thing you'll see is a block, not a letter: CAPTCHAs, throttling, or an IP address that stops getting results. If you use the API, the Platform terms let Google suspend your use of the services. A cease-and-desist letter is a formal demand to stop, and it matters legally: in _hiQ v. LinkedIn_, the dispute started with one. If you get a letter: 1. **Don't ignore it, and don't reply in a hurry.** Send it to a lawyer before you answer. 2. **Stop the activity it names** while you get advice. Continuing after a clear demand makes your position worse in most disputes. 3. **Preserve your records.** Don't delete data or logs once a dispute is likely; deletion can be treated as destroying evidence. Your lawyer will tell you what to keep and what you may later be asked to delete. 4. **Check your vendors' terms.** If a tool collected the data for you, see what its terms say about who is responsible. ## So what should I actually do?[#](#so-what-should-i-actually-do) Separate the three questions, and reduce risk on each. A practical list: **Do:** - Read the terms of every tool you use, and Google's terms, and decide with your lawyer what risk you accept. - Contact businesses about things relevant to their business. Relevance is part of CASL's test and of any GDPR balancing test. - Prefer generic business addresses and the business's own published contact details. - Put a working opt-out and your postal address in every email, and honor opt-outs fast. - Keep a suppression list and apply it to every list you build, from every source. - Delete data you don't need, and refresh lists instead of keeping old ones forever. - In the EU and UK, document your legitimate-interest assessment and tell people where you got their data. **Don't:** - Copy review text or photos. - Buy or build lists of consumers' personal emails. - Email EU sole traders, or Canadian contacts, as if CAN-SPAM rules applied. - Hide who you are, use deceptive subject lines, or keep emailing people who said no. - Assume "public" means "free to use however you like". It doesn't, under GDPR or CASL. ## How does Leadraft approach this?[#](#how-does-leadraft-approach-this) We don't claim any of this makes outreach risk-free, and we don't claim compliance on your behalf. What we do: - **An [opt-out page](https://leadraft.co/opt-out)** where any business can ask to be removed from our data. - **A suppression (do-not-contact) list** in every account, applied automatically to every export, so a business that opted out of your emails doesn't come back in the next list. - **An [acceptable use policy](https://leadraft.co/acceptable-use)** that bars spam, ignoring opt-outs and breaking laws such as CAN-SPAM, GDPR, PECR and CASL. - **Emails from each business's own website**, with the page they came from, so you can see the source and tell recipients where you got their address. You're still responsible for how you contact people. If you're running campaigns across countries, our [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers the sending side, and a lawyer should cover the rest. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What happened in Google v. SerpApi?[#](#what-happened-in-google-v-serpapi) Google sued SerpApi in December 2025 under the DMCA's anti-circumvention rules over scraping Google Search results. On July 20, 2026, Chief Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers of the Northern District of California dismissed both DMCA claims: for good where the results contain no copyrighted content, and with leave to amend for licensed content such as Knowledge Panel images. Google filed a narrower amended complaint on August 10, 2026, and SerpApi moved to dismiss it again. The case concerns Search, not Maps. ### Is it illegal to scrape Google Maps?[#](#is-it-illegal-to-scrape-google-maps) Scraping Google Maps breaks Google's terms of service, which prohibit scraping and using Maps to build business listings databases or mailing lists. In the US, breaking a website's terms is usually a contract matter, not a crime, and courts have held that scraping public pages generally doesn't violate the CFAA. But Google can block you, terminate accounts and sue, and privacy and anti-spam laws apply to what you do with the data. This is not legal advice. ### Is it legal to use Google Maps data for lead generation?[#](#is-it-legal-to-use-google-maps-data-for-lead-generation) Google's end-user terms bar using Google Maps to create or augment a business listings database, mailing list or telemarketing list for a service that substitutes for Google Maps, and the Maps Platform terms bar saving business names and addresses from the API. Separately, when you contact businesses you must follow laws like CAN-SPAM in the US, CASL in Canada and PECR and UK GDPR in the UK. ### Did hiQ win against LinkedIn?[#](#did-hiq-win-against-linkedin) Partly. The Ninth Circuit twice held that scraping public LinkedIn profiles likely did not violate the CFAA. But in November 2022 the district court ruled that hiQ breached LinkedIn's User Agreement, and the case ended in December 2022 with a $500,000 judgment against hiQ and a permanent injunction requiring it to stop scraping and delete the data. ### Is using the Google Places API legal for lead lists?[#](#is-using-the-google-places-api-legal-for-lead-lists) Using the API is permitted, but its terms bar exporting or scraping Google Maps content, copying and saving business names and addresses, and caching most data. Place IDs may be stored, and coordinates for up to 30 days. So the API is not a terms-compliant way to build a lead list you keep. ### Does GDPR apply to business emails scraped from websites?[#](#does-gdpr-apply-to-business-emails-scraped-from-websites) Yes, when the address identifies a person, like jane.smith@ or a sole trader's email. You need a lawful basis such as legitimate interests, must tell people where you got their data, and must honor objections to direct marketing. Generic addresses like info@ for a company are generally not personal data, but national email marketing rules still apply. ### Is cold email to businesses legal in the US?[#](#is-cold-email-to-businesses-legal-in-the-us) Yes, if it follows CAN-SPAM. The law covers business-to-business email with no exception: accurate headers and subject lines, a valid physical postal address, a clear way to opt out, and opt-outs honored within 10 business days. Each violating email can cost up to $53,088. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

Download the CSV. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Lead list template for Google Sheets and Excel (free CSV download) A free lead list template with the columns that matter, status dropdowns, data validation and dedupe formulas for Google Sheets and Excel. Download the CSV. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Guide A good lead list template has three groups of columns: who the business is (name, category, address), how to reach it (email with its verification result, phone, website, social pages), and where you are with it (status, owner, last contact, next step, do-not-contact). Add a unique ID so you can dedupe, a dropdown for status so values stay consistent, and a COUNTIF check that flags duplicates as you paste in new leads. [Download the free lead list template (CSV)](https://leadraft.co/templates/lead-list-template.csv). It opens in Google Sheets, Excel, Numbers and any CRM import. It has 29 columns and three clearly fictional example rows to delete. The rest of this guide explains each column and the formulas to add. ## What columns should a lead list template have?[#](#what-columns-should-a-lead-list-template-have) Use columns that answer three questions: who is this, how do I reach them, and what happens next. The template uses the same column names as a Leadraft export, so a file from Leadraft pastes straight in, but every column makes sense for a list you build by hand. ### Who the business is[#](#who-the-business-is) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | What goes in it | Why it matters | | --- | --- | --- | | `lead_id` | Your own ID: L0001, L0002... | A stable key that never changes, even if the name does | | `business` | Trading name as customers see it | What you'll write in the email | | `category` | Main trade: Plumber, Dentist | Lets you segment and personalize | | `address`, `city`, `state`, `postal_code`, `country` | Full address, split | Filter by city or ZIP; use for direct mail | | `rating`, `reviews` | Google rating and review count | A rough size and activity signal | | `maps_url`, `google_place_id` | The listing link and its place ID | Lets you check the listing and dedupe exactly | The Google place ID is the best dedupe key for businesses from Google Maps. Google describes it as a textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place, so the same business found by two different searches carries the same ID. Place IDs can change occasionally when Google's database is updated, and Google suggests refreshing ones older than a year \[1\]. ### How to reach them[#](#how-to-reach-them) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | What goes in it | Why it matters | | --- | --- | --- | | `email` | The best address for this business | Your send address | | `email_grade` | The verification result | Decides whether you send at all | | `email_role` | Generic (`info@`), personal (`jane@`), and so on | Changes how you write the email | | `phone` | E.164 format: `+15125550101` | Sorts, dedupes and dials cleanly | | `website` | Full URL | Research, and the source of the email | | `facebook`, `instagram`, `linkedin` | Page URLs | A second way to check the business is active | Keep `email_grade` next to the email. A Leadraft export writes `valid` for a Verified address and `catch_all` for an Accept-all one. If you verify with another tool, use its values, but keep the column. An address whose server accepts everything is a maybe, never a yes, so you'll want to filter on it. [Catch-all emails, explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) covers why. ### Where you are with them[#](#where-you-are-with-them) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Column | What goes in it | | --- | --- | | `source` | Where the lead came from: "Google Maps search", "Referral", "Trade show" | | `date_added` | When it entered the sheet (YYYY-MM-DD) | | `status` | One value from the status list below | | `assigned_to` | Who works this lead | | `last_contacted` | Date of the last touch | | `next_step`, `next_step_date` | What happens next, and when | | `do_not_contact` | TRUE or FALSE | | `notes` | Anything else, short | Don't delete a row when someone asks you to stop contacting them. Set `do_not_contact` to TRUE and keep it. If you delete it, the same business can come back in next month's list and get emailed again. ## Which lead statuses should I use?[#](#which-lead-statuses-should-i-use) Use a short, fixed list where each status means one thing. Nine is enough for most teams: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Status | Means | | --- | --- | | New | Added, not yet checked | | Researching | Checking fit, finding the right contact | | Contacted | First message sent | | Replied | They answered, any answer | | Meeting booked | A call or visit is on the calendar | | Won | Became a customer | | Lost | Talked, didn't buy | | Not a fit | Wrong size, wrong trade, closed | | Do not contact | Asked to stop, or bounced hard | Put the list on a second tab called `Lists` (one value per cell in column A) and point the dropdown at it. When you need a new status, you add it in one place. ## How do I set up data validation and dropdowns?[#](#how-do-i-set-up-data-validation-and-dropdowns) Add a dropdown to `status` and `do_not_contact`, and reject anything else. This is what keeps a shared sheet usable after a month. **In Google Sheets** \[2\]: 1. Select the status column, from row 2 down. 2. Go to **Insert > Dropdown** (or **Data > Data validation > Add rule**). 3. Under Criteria, choose **Dropdown (from a range)** and select `Lists!A2:A10`. 4. Leave invalid entries rejected (the default). **Advanced options > Show a warning** is the softer choice. 5. Click **Done**. Repeat for `do_not_contact` with the values TRUE and FALSE. **In Excel** \[3\]: select the column, go to **Data > Data Validation**, set **Allow** to **List**, and set **Source** to `=Lists!$A$2:$A$10`. Two more rules worth adding: - **Dates:** on `date_added`, `last_contacted` and `next_step_date`, allow only valid dates. - **Email:** in Google Sheets, data validation has a criterion that checks the text is a valid email. It only checks the format, not whether the mailbox exists. Watch the import step too. Spreadsheets like to turn `+15125550101` into a number and drop leading zeros from ZIP codes such as `02134`. In Google Sheets, untick **Convert text to numbers, dates, and formulas** when you import, or format the `phone` and `postal_code` columns as plain text first. ## What formulas find duplicate leads?[#](#what-formulas-find-duplicate-leads) Normalize first, then count. Two rows are only duplicates if they match on a stable key, and "Example.com/", "[https://www.example.com](https://www.example.com)" and "example.com" are the same website. Column letters below match the template: D is `email`, G is `phone`, H is `website`, Q is `google_place_id`. **Normalize the keys** (add helper columns at the end of the sheet): Scroll horizontally if needed → | Key | Google Sheets | Excel (Microsoft 365) | | --- | --- | --- | | Email | `=LOWER(TRIM(D2))` | `=LOWER(TRIM(D2))` | | Website domain | `=REGEXEXTRACT(LOWER(H2),"^(?:https?://)?(?:www\.)?([^/]+)")` | `=TEXTBEFORE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(LOWER(H2),"https://",""),"http://",""),"www.","")&"/","/")` | | Phone digits | `=REGEXREPLACE(G2&"","[^0-9]","")` | Format as text, then compare as-is | **Flag duplicates** with COUNTIF \[4\]. Put these in a column called `dupe`: - Every copy, including the first: `=COUNTIF($Q$2:$Q$5000,Q2)>1` - Only the second and later copies: `=COUNTIF($Q$2:Q2,Q2)>1` The second version is the one you want for cleaning, because the first occurrence returns FALSE and you can filter out the TRUE rows. Run it on the place ID first, then on the normalized domain, then on the email. A chain with one website and ten locations will match on domain but not on place ID: decide whether you want one row per location or one per company. **Highlight duplicates as you type.** Select column D, open conditional formatting, choose a custom formula and enter `=COUNTIF($D:$D,$D1)>1`. Every repeated email turns a color the moment it's pasted. **Check against a suppression tab.** Keep everyone who opted out or bounced on a tab called `Suppression`, one email per row in column A. Then flag them in the main sheet: ``` =IF(COUNTIF(Suppression!$A:$A,LOWER(TRIM(D2)))>0,"Suppressed","") ``` **Built-in tools.** Google Sheets has **Data > Data cleanup > Remove duplicates** and Excel has **Data > Remove Duplicates**. Both delete rows in place, so make a copy first and prefer the formula when the sheet holds status history. ## How do I use the sheet day to day?[#](#how-do-i-use-the-sheet-day-to-day) Filter, work, update. A sheet only works as a tracker if the status and next step are always current. 1. **Each morning,** filter `next_step_date` to today or earlier and `do_not_contact` to FALSE. That's your list. 2. **After every touch,** update `status`, `last_contacted`, `next_step` and `next_step_date` before you move on. 3. **Each week,** filter `status` = Contacted with `last_contacted` older than 14 days. Follow up or close them out. 4. **When you add leads,** paste them at the bottom, then filter `dupe` = TRUE and delete those rows. A helper column for days since last contact makes step 3 one click: `=IF(Y2="","",TODAY()-Y2)`. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## Where do the leads come from?[#](#where-do-the-leads-come-from) Any source works with the template, as long as you fill `source` honestly. For local businesses, the most complete free source is Google Maps: every listing has a name, category, address, phone and often a website. The catch is that Maps shows a limited number of results per search, and it doesn't show email addresses. You find emails on each business's own website, then verify them. Our guides cover each step: [export Google Maps results to Excel](https://leadraft.co/blog/export-google-maps-to-excel), [why Maps stops at about 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit), and the full [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation). If you're sizing a campaign, the [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) works out how many businesses you need for a target number of replies. ## When should I move from a spreadsheet to a CRM?[#](#when-should-i-move-from-a-spreadsheet-to-a-crm) Move when the sheet starts costing you deals. A spreadsheet is fine for one person or a small team working a few thousand leads. Switch to a CRM when: - Several people work the same leads and overwrite each other's updates. - You need every email and call logged automatically, not typed in. - You're running sequences in a cold-email tool and want replies to update the status on their own. - The sheet is tens of thousands of rows and filters get slow. Because the template uses plain column names, it maps cleanly into a CRM import later. Keep `lead_id` and `google_place_id` when you move, so you can still dedupe against the old sheet. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What columns should a lead list have?[#](#what-columns-should-a-lead-list-have) At minimum: business name, category, email, email verification result, phone, website, full address split into city, state and ZIP, a source, the date added, a status, who owns the lead, the last contact date, the next step and a do-not-contact flag. Add a unique ID such as the Google place ID so you can dedupe reliably. ### How do I make a lead tracking spreadsheet in Google Sheets?[#](#how-do-i-make-a-lead-tracking-spreadsheet-in-google-sheets) Import the CSV template with File > Import, freeze the header row, add a dropdown to the status column (Insert > Dropdown), add a duplicate check with COUNTIF on the email and place ID columns, and filter by status and next-step date each day. ### How do I find duplicate leads in Google Sheets or Excel?[#](#how-do-i-find-duplicate-leads-in-google-sheets-or-excel) Use COUNTIF on a stable key. `=COUNTIF($D$2:$D$5000,D2)>1` flags every email that appears more than once, and `=COUNTIF($D$2:D2,D2)>1` flags only the second and later copies, so you keep the first. Normalize first: lowercase emails, strip [www](http://www). and https:// from websites, and keep only digits in phone numbers. ### What lead statuses should I use?[#](#what-lead-statuses-should-i-use) Keep it short: New, Researching, Contacted, Replied, Meeting booked, Won, Lost, Not a fit and Do not contact. Each status should mean one clear thing, and every lead should have exactly one. Use a dropdown so nobody types a new variation. ### Is a spreadsheet good enough, or do I need a CRM?[#](#is-a-spreadsheet-good-enough-or-do-i-need-a-crm) A spreadsheet works well for one person or a small team working a few thousand leads. Move to a CRM when several people work the same leads, when you need email history logged automatically, or when the sheet passes tens of thousands of rows and gets slow. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to get a list of all businesses in your area (or by ZIP code) Free and paid ways to list every business in a city or ZIP code: Census counts, city license data, state filings, libraries, Google Maps, and how to check it. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Guide To get a list of all businesses in your area, combine two kinds of sources: an official register (your city's business license or tax registration data, or your state's business filings) and a source of businesses that actually serve customers (Google Maps, plus directories). Many US cities publish their registrations as free open data, and the Census Bureau publishes free counts of businesses by ZIP code so you can check how complete your list is. No single source has every business, with contact details, for free. Below: what each source contains, real examples you can download today, how to work by ZIP code, and a method for checking your list is complete. ## What does "all businesses in my area" actually mean?[#](#what-does-all-businesses-in-my-area-actually-mean) It means different things depending on what you want the list for, so decide first. Roughly, an area's businesses fall into three groups: 1. **Businesses with a storefront or that serve the public**: shops, restaurants, clinics, contractors. They're on Google Maps, have phones and usually a website. 2. **Registered businesses that don't serve the public locally**: holding LLCs, landlords, consultants working from home, freelancers. 3. **Unregistered or informal businesses**: side gigs that never filed anything. If you're selling to local businesses, you almost always want group 1, plus the part of group 2 that matches your offer. That decides which sources are worth your time. ## How many businesses are in my ZIP code?[#](#how-many-businesses-are-in-my-zip-code) The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns (CBP) tells you, for free. It counts **establishments with paid employees** by state, county, ZIP code and industry, and since the 2022 reference year the ZIP Code Business Patterns data is released at the same time as CBP \[1\]. You can look it up on data.census.gov by ZIP and NAICS code. What it's good for: - **Sizing the market** before you build anything: "How many dental offices (NAICS 621210) are in 78704?" - **Checking completeness** of a list you've built (more on that below). What it doesn't do: it gives counts, not names. It also leaves out businesses with no employees, which Census counts separately in its Nonemployer Statistics, and it lags by a couple of years. ## Where can I download a free list of businesses in my city?[#](#where-can-i-download-a-free-list-of-businesses-in-my-city) From your city's open data portal, if it publishes business licenses or business tax registrations. Here are real examples, checked on October 31, 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | City | Dataset | What's in it | Size and freshness | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Los Angeles | [Listing of Active Businesses](https://data.lacity.org/d/6rrh-rzua) (Office of Finance) | Business name, DBA, street and mailing address, NAICS code, start date | 632,799 rows; updated monthly \[2\] | | Chicago | [Business Licenses](https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/r5kz-chrr) (Business Affairs and Consumer Protection) | Legal and DBA name, address, license type, business activity, issue and expiry dates, coordinates | Licenses from 2002 to present, about 1.2 million rows; updated as recently as October 30, 2026 \[3\] | | New York City | [Issued Licenses](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/w7w3-xahh) (Department of Consumer and Worker Protection) | Business name, category, license status, address, contact phone | 72,452 rows; only the trades DCWP licenses \[4\] | Each has quirks you need to know: - **Los Angeles** registers nearly everyone who does business in the city, so it's big and noisy. In ZIP 90019, for example, the dataset had 8,540 active businesses on October 31, 2026. The largest groups were lessors of real estate (953), records with no NAICS code (764), "all other personal services" (592) and independent artists, writers and performers (538). That's the register working as designed, and it shows why a raw register isn't a sales list. - **Chicago** records licenses, not businesses: one business can hold several, renewals appear as new rows, and not every activity needs a city license. Filter on the latest license per account and site. - **New York City's** DCWP list covers specific licensed categories (home improvement contractors, tobacco retailers, secondhand dealers, locksmiths, tow trucks and others), not all businesses. For those trades it's excellent: 13,385 active home improvement contractor licenses, with a contact phone column. To find your city's version, search for "\[your city\] open data business license" or "\[your city\] active businesses". Smaller cities often post a monthly PDF of new business licenses instead. ## Can I get a list of businesses from the state?[#](#can-i-get-a-list-of-businesses-from-the-state) Yes. Every state's Secretary of State (or equivalent) keeps a register of corporations and LLCs, and several publish it as bulk data: - **New York:** [Active Corporations: Beginning 1800](https://data.ny.gov/d/n9v6-gdp6), with county, entity type, filing date and, for corporations, a CEO name and address \[5\]. - **Colorado:** [Business Entities in Colorado](https://data.colorado.gov/d/4ykn-tg5h), every entity registered since 1864, with principal address, status and formation date \[6\]. - **Florida:** the Division of Corporations publishes free data downloads of filings on Sunbiz. - **Texas:** SOSDirect lets you search entities online at $1 per search \[7\]. State registers are the most complete list of _legal entities_, but that's not the same as businesses you can sell to. Many LLCs are holding companies or side projects, the address is often a registered agent's office, and sole proprietors who never formed an entity aren't there. Use state data to find businesses when they form (see [finding new businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area)) or to look up an owner, not as your main list. ## Can I get a business list free from the library?[#](#can-i-get-a-business-list-free-from-the-library) Often. Many public and university libraries subscribe to **Data Axle Reference Solutions** (formerly ReferenceUSA), which you can search by ZIP code, industry, employee count and more. Library guides describe it as covering tens of millions of current and historical US businesses. Two limits: - **Downloads are capped per search.** Library guides give different limits: 250 records per search at Boston University and Fulton County, 500 at Yale for the historical database, and 1,000 for the US business database at the University of Virginia \[8\]\[9\]. Split big lists into smaller searches by ZIP code. - **License terms apply.** University access is usually for academic use. Ask your library whether commercial prospecting is allowed before you use it for sales. ## Can I get a list of businesses from Google Maps?[#](#can-i-get-a-list-of-businesses-from-google-maps) Yes, and for businesses that serve the public it's usually the most current source: owners update hours, phones and websites themselves, and new businesses appear when they open. Search a trade inside your area and you'll see name, category, address, phone, website, rating and reviews. The catch is coverage. A single Maps search stops after a limited number of results, ranked by what Google thinks is relevant to your view, so in any busy area one search shows a fraction of the businesses. Getting a whole city or ZIP means many searches: every keyword for the trade, times every small piece of the area. We explain why in [finding every business in a city](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) **On the rules:** Google's Maps terms prohibit bulk downloading Maps content and using it to build business-listing databases or mailing lists for a substitute service \[10\]. Looking up businesses one at a time is ordinary use; mass extraction is a contract question as much as a technical one. Public business facts, personal data and terms of service are different things, and the rules vary by country. If your plan depends on it, get legal advice. ## Which source should I use? A comparison[#](#which-source-should-i-use-a-comparison) Scroll horizontally if needed → | Source | Covers | Contact details | Cost | Freshness | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Census CBP / ZIP Code Business Patterns | Employer establishments, counts only | None | Free | Lags about two years | | City license / tax registration open data | Businesses registered with the city | Address; phone sometimes | Free | Monthly or better, where published | | State business entity filings | Corporations and LLCs | Registered or principal address | Free to a few dollars | Daily to monthly | | Library (Data Axle Reference Solutions) | Broad, with employee and sales estimates | Phone, address, some names | Free with a card, capped downloads | Vendor-maintained | | Chamber of commerce directory | Members only | Varies | Free to view; membership for more | Member-maintained | | Google Maps | Businesses that serve the public | Phone, website; no email | Free one at a time; tools to do it at scale | Owner-updated, often current | | Data vendors (Data Axle, D&B, others) | Broad | Phone, address, some emails | Subscription or per record | Vendor-maintained | For a deeper look at paid databases, see [local business databases compared](https://leadraft.co/blog/local-business-database). ## How do I get a list of businesses by ZIP code?[#](#how-do-i-get-a-list-of-businesses-by-zip-code) Here's the process we'd use for one ZIP code and one trade: 1. **Get the benchmark.** Look up the CBP count for your ZIP and the trade's NAICS code (say, 238220 for plumbing and HVAC contractors). This is your floor for employer businesses. 2. **Pull the official register,** if your city or county publishes one, filtered to the ZIP and the NAICS code or license type. 3. **Search Google Maps** for every keyword for the trade (plumber, plumbing contractor, drain cleaning, water heater repair…) within the ZIP, splitting it into smaller pieces if the ZIP is dense. Our [Google Maps keyword generator](https://leadraft.co/tools/google-maps-keyword-generator) helps with the keyword list. 4. **Merge and deduplicate.** Match on phone number and normalized address first, name second. "Smith Plumbing LLC" and "Smith Plumbing" at the same address are one business. 5. **Drop what's outside the ZIP** and what's the wrong trade (supply stores turn up in contractor searches). 6. **Add contact details,** starting from each business's website. See [how to find the email of any local business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses). Remember that ZIP codes are mail routes, not neat shapes. If your real market is "within 10 miles of the office", a radius or a drawn area is more honest than a list of ZIPs. ## How do I make sure my list is complete?[#](#how-do-i-make-sure-my-list-is-complete) Run three checks before you call it done: - **The Census check.** Compare your count per trade with the CBP count for the same ZIP or county and NAICS code. Your list should usually be _higher_ for trades with lots of one-person businesses, because CBP leaves out nonemployers. If it's far lower, you're missing keywords or parts of the area. - **The street check.** Drive or walk two or three commercial streets and note every business in your trade. Then look for each on your list. If you're missing more than one or two of every ten, keep searching. - **The second-source check.** Take 20 businesses from the city register that match your trade, and see how many are on your Maps-built list (and the reverse). Big gaps in either direction tell you which source to lean on. Then keep it current. Businesses open and close every week: the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 323,000 new establishments in the first quarter of 2026 alone \[11\]. A list is a snapshot. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Is there a free list of all businesses in my city?[#](#is-there-a-free-list-of-all-businesses-in-my-city) Often, yes. Many US cities publish business license or business tax registrations as open data, such as Los Angeles's Listing of Active Businesses and Chicago's Business Licenses dataset. They're free to download, but they include home businesses and landlords and rarely include emails. ### How do I find how many businesses are in a ZIP code?[#](#how-do-i-find-how-many-businesses-are-in-a-zip-code) Use the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns, which includes ZIP Code Business Patterns. It counts establishments with paid employees by ZIP code and industry (NAICS). It doesn't list names, and it leaves out businesses with no employees. ### Can I get a list of businesses by ZIP code from Google Maps?[#](#can-i-get-a-list-of-businesses-by-zip-code-from-google-maps) You can search Google Maps for a trade within a ZIP code, but one search stops at a limited number of results, so you need many searches (by keyword and by smaller areas) to cover a ZIP. Google's terms also restrict bulk copying of Maps content. ### Can I get a business list from my public library?[#](#can-i-get-a-business-list-from-my-public-library) Many public and university libraries offer Data Axle Reference Solutions (formerly ReferenceUSA) free to cardholders. You can search by ZIP and industry, but downloads are capped per search (library guides cite limits from 250 to 1,000 records) and the library's license terms apply. ### What is the most complete list of businesses in an area?[#](#what-is-the-most-complete-list-of-businesses-in-an-area) No single source is complete. City registrations catch businesses that never show up online; Google Maps catches businesses that serve the public, with phone numbers and websites. Combining two sources and deduplicating gets you closest. ### How do I know if my business list is complete?[#](#how-do-i-know-if-my-business-list-is-complete) Compare your count per industry against the Census ZIP or county count for the same NAICS code, and spot-check by walking or driving a few streets. If you have far fewer than Census for a trade, you're missing keywords or areas. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Local business databases compared: buy one or build your own Data Axle, Salesgenie, ZoomInfo, D&B, Apollo, the Places API and building from Google Maps, compared on coverage, price, freshness and email. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Comparison A local business database is a list of businesses in an area with their contact details: name, address, phone, often website, sometimes email and firmographics like employee count. You can **buy** access to one from vendors like Data Axle, Salesgenie, ZoomInfo or Dun & Bradstreet, or **build** one from current sources like Google Maps and official business registers. Buying gets you breadth and firmographics; building usually gets you fresher contact details for small businesses and emails you've verified yourself. If you sell to local businesses by email or phone, build the list for your area, and Leadraft is built to do exactly that, with every email checked before you pay for it. This page compares the main options honestly, with prices only where they're published, the data on how fast business data decays, and a 20-business test you can run on any source before you pay. ## What are the main local business databases?[#](#what-are-the-main-local-business-databases) Here's how the main options compare. Prices are as of October 2026, from the vendor's own pages; where a vendor doesn't publish prices, we say so. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Option | What it is | Coverage claim | Price | Email | Built for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leadraft | Builds the list fresh from Google Maps for the area you choose, plus each business's own website | Whatever's on Maps inside your area | Starter $19/mo (25,000 businesses, 1,000 checked emails); Growth $49/mo (100,000 businesses, 5,000 checked emails) | Found on the business's site and checked against the mail server | Local sales, agencies, cold email | | Data Axle (business data) | Compiled US and Canada business database, licensed or via API | "90M+ business profiles with 400+ attributes" \[1\] | Not published | Some | National marketing, data enrichment | | Salesgenie (Data Axle's SMB product, also listed as Data Axle Genie) | Self-serve prospecting app on Data Axle data | "over 19.5 million businesses" \[2\] | Basic from $99/mo, Pro $149/mo, Team $299/mo; exports and emails use extra credits \[2\] | Some, uses credits | Small teams prospecting US SMBs | | Data Axle Reference Solutions | Library edition (formerly ReferenceUSA) | Same family of data | Free through many libraries; 250–1,000 downloads per search \[3\]\[4\] | Limited | Research, small one-off lists | | ZoomInfo | B2B contact and company intelligence | Not checked | Not published; quote via sales \[5\] | Yes, contact-level | Mid-market and enterprise sales | | Dun & Bradstreet | Global company database (D-U-N-S), Hoovers | "more than 620 million companies worldwide" \[6\] | Not published | Some | Credit, risk, enterprise data | | Apollo | B2B contact database and sales tool | "240M contacts & 30M companies" \[7\] | Free plan and paid plans; credits don't roll over | Yes, contact-level | Companies whose staff are on LinkedIn | | Google Places API | Google's API for place data | Google Maps | Text Search from $32 per 1,000 requests; $35 with phone and website \[8\] | No | Showing places in apps | | Build from Google Maps by hand | Your own list, from Maps plus each business's website | Whatever's on Maps in your area | Free, but slow | Found and verified by you | Small one-off lists | A few notes on reading that table: - **Coverage claims aren't comparable.** "Profiles", "companies" and "businesses" are counted differently, and global counts include entities that will never buy from you. - **"Email: some" means coverage varies by segment.** For small local businesses, ask the vendor for its email fill rate in your trade and area, then test it. ## What's each option good at?[#](#whats-each-option-good-at) ### Data Axle and Salesgenie[#](#data-axle-and-salesgenie) Data Axle (formerly Infogroup, the company behind the InfoUSA and ReferenceUSA brands) is one of the oldest US business compilers. It says it runs "25 million verification calls a year" with over 300 data experts \[1\], and its records carry hundreds of attributes like employee and sales estimates, years in business and industry codes. That's its real strength: firmographics, consistently coded, nationwide. Salesgenie is the self-serve way in for small teams (some review sites, such as TrustRadius, now list it as Data Axle Genie; its own site still says Salesgenie). As of November 2026 its packages page lists Basic from $99 a month, Pro at $149 and Team at $299 (5 users), with "unlimited access to prospects" in the app, but exports and email addresses use credits you buy on top \[2\]. Ask what a credit costs in your plan before you estimate your cost per lead. **Free route:** many public libraries offer Data Axle Reference Solutions to cardholders. Download caps vary by library and database (250 per search at Boston University, 1,000 for US businesses at the University of Virginia) \[3\]\[4\], and university licenses are generally for academic use, so ask about commercial use. ### ZoomInfo and Dun & Bradstreet[#](#zoominfo-and-dun--bradstreet) Both are enterprise-grade, priced by quote. ZoomInfo's pricing page lists plans (ZoomInfo Professional, Copilot Advanced and Copilot Enterprise, among others) but no prices; pricing depends on features, licenses and credits \[5\]. D&B's strength is global identity and risk data around the D-U-N-S Number; its UK G-Cloud 15 service description says the D&B Data Cloud holds more than 620 million companies worldwide \[6\]. Their data is built around company hierarchies, credit risk and contacts at mid-sized and large companies. For a three-person landscaping company, check whether they have anything beyond the business record before you commit to an annual contract. ### Apollo[#](#apollo) Apollo says it has 240 million contacts at 30 million companies \[7\], with a free plan and paid plans; per its pricing page, credits are pooled across a team and don't roll over. It's strongest where companies have employees with professional profiles. It has also added a way to find local companies from Google Maps inside the app, per its help center \[9\]. Its coverage of owner-run businesses without staff profiles is worth checking with the 20-business test below. ### The Google Places API[#](#the-google-places-api) The Places API is Google's official, paid way to query place data. It's excellent for what it's designed for (showing places in an app) and awkward as a database: - **Results per search are capped.** Text Search returns up to 20 results per page and a maximum of 60 across all pages \[10\]. - **Contact fields cost more.** Asking for `websiteUri` or `nationalPhoneNumber` moves the request to the Enterprise SKU, $35 per 1,000 requests at the lowest volume tier, with 1,000 free Enterprise calls a month \[8\]\[10\]. - **No email field** \[10\]. - **Storage is restricted.** Google's Places policies say you must not pre-fetch, cache or store Places content beyond the allowed exceptions; place IDs can be stored indefinitely \[11\]. Worked example: covering 5,000 businesses needs at least 250 requests at 20 results each, which is $8.75 at the Enterprise rate, or free within the monthly allowance. In practice, overlapping searches across tiles and keywords multiply that several times, you still need to find every email yourself, and you can't keep the data as a database under the policy. We compare this in more detail in [Places API vs scraping](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-places-api-vs-scraping). ### Building your own from Google Maps[#](#building-your-own-from-google-maps) You search Google Maps for every keyword for your trade across every piece of your area, keep the businesses that are really inside the area and in the trade, then get each email from the business's own website and verify it. By hand that's slow; tools do the same steps. The upside is freshness: Maps listings are updated by owners and reflect businesses that are open now. The downsides: no employee or revenue estimates, and Google's Maps terms restrict bulk copying of Maps content \[12\]. Public business facts, personal data and contract terms are different questions; get legal advice if your plan depends on them. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. Our [guide to building a local lead list from Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) walks through it step by step. ## How fast does a local business database go out of date?[#](#how-fast-does-a-local-business-database-go-out-of-date) Fast enough that the date of the data matters as much as its size. From federal statistics: - **Closures:** 310,000 US establishments closed in the second quarter of 2025 \[13\], against about 12.1 million establishments counted in 2025 \[14\]. That's roughly 2–3% per quarter. - **Openings:** 323,000 establishments opened in the first quarter of 2026 \[13\]. A database that isn't refreshed misses them all. - **Survival:** of establishments born in 2013, 79.6% were still operating after one year and 50.6% after five \[15\]. - **People:** median job tenure was 4.1 years in January 2026 \[16\], so named contacts drift too. Then add the changes statistics don't count: new phone numbers, new domains, a move across town, a switch from Gmail to a business address. None of this makes a vendor's data bad; it means any database is a snapshot, and you should ask when each record was last verified. ## How do I test a database before buying?[#](#how-do-i-test-a-database-before-buying) Run a 20-business spot check. It takes under an hour and tells you more than any coverage claim. 1. **Pick 20 businesses you know exist** in your target trade and area: from a drive down a commercial street, local ads, or Google Maps. Include a few that opened in the last year. 2. **Look each one up** in the vendor's trial or sample. 3. **Score each one:** Scroll horizontally if needed → | Check | Pass if | | --- | --- | | Found | The business is in the database | | Current | Address and phone match what the business shows today | | Website | The right website is listed | | Email | There's an email, and your verifier says it's valid | | No ghosts | Run the reverse: take 20 records from the database and confirm they still exist | 4. **Do the arithmetic.** If 14 of 20 are found and 8 of those have a valid email, your usable rate is 8 ÷ 20 = 40%. Divide the price per record by 0.4 to get the real price per usable lead. Repeat it for every source you're considering, including a list you build yourself. The cheapest per record is rarely the cheapest per usable lead. ## Should I buy a database or build my own?[#](#should-i-buy-a-database-or-build-my-own) Build your own if you sell to local businesses in specific areas, because the list is current and every email is checked. Here's what Leadraft does in each situation, and where it isn't the tool: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Situation | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | You sell into specific cities, counties or territories | Builds the list for that exact area: a city, county, ZIP code, radius or a shape you draw | | You need current phones, websites and emails | Takes them from Google Maps and each business's own website at the time you run the search | | You're running cold email | Checks every email against the live mail server and grades it Verified, accept-all or invalid | | Your targets are owner-run businesses that serve the public | That's the core use: every business of a trade in your area | | You want to know where every address came from | Keeps the page each email was found on | | You need employee counts, revenue estimates or industry codes | Not what Leadraft does | | You need contacts at large companies, by job title | Not what Leadraft does | For a related question, see [should you buy a business email list](https://leadraft.co/blog/buy-business-email-list). ## Which local business database should I use?[#](#which-local-business-database-should-i-use) For local business lists, use Leadraft. It builds the database fresh for your area instead of selling you a snapshot, checks every email before you pay for it, and charges once per business, ever. For 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails, the Growth plan is $49 a month: 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails. A smaller market fits in Starter, $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails. See the [pricing page](https://leadraft.co/pricing) for current plans. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best local business database?[#](#what-is-the-best-local-business-database) For small businesses that serve the public, a list built fresh from Google Maps and each business's own website, with every email checked, is usually the most current. That is what Leadraft builds, for the area you choose. Compiled databases like Data Axle and D&B carry firmographics such as employee counts, which Leadraft doesn't have. Test any source on a sample of your own market first. ### Is there a free local business database?[#](#is-there-a-free-local-business-database) Yes, a few. Many public libraries give cardholders free access to Data Axle Reference Solutions, with download caps per search. Many cities publish business licenses as open data, and the Census Bureau publishes free counts by ZIP code. None of them includes verified emails. ### How much does Data Axle cost?[#](#how-much-does-data-axle-cost) Data Axle doesn't publish prices for its main business data products. Its SMB product Salesgenie listed plans at $99, $149 and $299 a month as of October 2026, with exports and email addresses using separately purchased credits. ### How quickly does a business database go out of date?[#](#how-quickly-does-a-business-database-go-out-of-date) Constantly. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 310,000 US establishments closing in the second quarter of 2025 alone, against about 12 million establishments, and roughly one in five new establishments closes within its first year. Phones, emails and staff change too. ### Can I build a business database from the Google Places API?[#](#can-i-build-a-business-database-from-the-google-places-api) Technically you can query it, but it isn't designed for that. It returns at most 60 results per search, has no email field, and Google's policies prohibit caching Places content beyond permitted exceptions (place IDs can be stored). It's built for showing places in apps. ### Should I buy a database or build my own list?[#](#should-i-buy-a-database-or-build-my-own-list) If you're contacting small local businesses by email or phone in specific areas, build: freshness and checked emails matter more than firmographics, and that is the job Leadraft does. Purchased databases sell national files with employee and revenue estimates and mailing lists for direct mail, which Leadraft doesn't provide. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Local business leads: where to get them, what they cost, and how to qualify them Where to get local business leads (Google Maps, data vendors, directories, state filings, LinkedIn, referrals), cost per usable lead, and how to qualify them. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 16 min Category Guide Local business leads are small businesses in a specific area that you want to sell to: the plumbers, dentists, restaurants and salons in your territory. The best sources are **Google Maps** (most complete and current for businesses that serve the public), **business data vendors** like Data Axle (broad, with firmographics), **public records** like state business filings and city license data (free, good for new businesses), **directories** (Yelp, BBB, chambers), **LinkedIn** (for businesses with staff online) and **referrals and local events**. What a lead costs depends less on the price per record than on how many records are actually usable: in your area, in your trade, still open, and reachable. **Which "local business leads" do you mean?** If you run a local business and want _customers_ (inbound leads from Google Local Services Ads or pay-per-lead services), this page isn't about that. It's for selling _to_ local businesses. If you're deciding whether to buy a database, see [local business databases compared](https://leadraft.co/blog/local-business-database); for the risks of buying email lists, see [should you buy a business email list?](https://leadraft.co/blog/buy-business-email-list). This guide compares every source on coverage, cost and freshness, works out cost per usable lead with real arithmetic, and gives you a qualification sheet and a channel guide for actually reaching them. ## What counts as a local business lead?[#](#what-counts-as-a-local-business-lead) A local business lead is a business, not a person: one company with a location (or a service area) you can reach. A usable lead has four things: 1. **It's in your area**, inside the city, county, ZIP codes or territory you actually serve. 2. **It's in your trade**, the kind of business your offer is for. 3. **It's still operating**, at the address and phone you have. 4. **It's reachable**, with a working phone number, a verified email or a door you can knock on. Most "leads" fail one of these, which is why lists that look cheap per record turn out expensive per usable lead. (If you're a local business looking for _customers_, this guide isn't for you; it's for people selling _to_ local businesses: agencies, SaaS, distributors, insurers, payments and local B2B sales.) ## Where can I get local business leads?[#](#where-can-i-get-local-business-leads) Here are the six main sources, compared. Prices are as of October 2026 and only where the provider publishes them. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Source | Coverage of local SMBs | Contact details | Freshness | Cost | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Google Maps** | High for businesses that serve the public | Phone, website, address, hours; no email field | Owner-updated, often current | Free by hand; tools at scale | Any local B2B sale | | **Data vendors** (Data Axle, Salesgenie, ZoomInfo, D&B) | Broad, nationwide | Phone, address, firmographics; some emails | Vendor-refreshed; ask the record date | Salesgenie from $99/mo plus credits; others by quote | National programs, firmographic targeting | | **Directories** (Yelp, BBB, chambers, trade associations) | Partial: listed or member businesses | Phone, website; sometimes owner names | Varies | Free to browse | Confirming details, owner names | | **State registrations and city licenses** | Every registered entity or licensee | Address; sometimes phone or officer names | Daily to monthly where published | Free to a few dollars | New businesses, licensed trades | | **LinkedIn** | Low for owner-run trades, higher for offices | Names and titles; no email | Self-updated | Free search; paid Sales Navigator | Professional services, multi-location firms | | **Referrals and local events** | Small, high quality | Whatever you collect | Current | Your time; membership dues | High-value, relationship sales | ### Google Maps[#](#google-maps) For businesses that serve the public, Google Maps is usually the closest thing to a complete, current directory, because owners keep their own listings updated and new businesses appear when they open. Each listing has the business's category, address, phone, website, hours, rating and review count. Two caveats. First, one Maps search shows a limited, ranked slice of the businesses in a busy area, so covering a city means searching many keywords across many smaller areas (we explain why in [finding every business in a city](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). Second, Google's Maps terms prohibit bulk downloading Maps content and using it to build mailing lists or business-listing databases for a substitute service \[1\]. Looking up businesses is ordinary use; mass extraction raises contract questions. Public business facts, personal data and terms of service are different things, so get legal advice if your plan depends on it. ### Data vendors: Data Axle, InfoUSA, Salesgenie and others[#](#data-vendors-data-axle-infousa-salesgenie-and-others) Data Axle (formerly Infogroup, the company behind InfoUSA and ReferenceUSA \[2\]) says it has "90M+ business profiles with 400+ attributes" and runs 25 million verification calls a year \[3\]. Its strength is firmographics: employee and sales estimates, years in business, industry codes, consistent across the country. Its self-serve product, Salesgenie (listed on some review sites as Data Axle Genie), listed plans from $99 a month as of November 2026, with exports and email addresses using extra credits \[4\]. ZoomInfo and Dun & Bradstreet are priced by quote and built more for mid-market and enterprise contacts and company data. Free option: many libraries give cardholders access to Data Axle Reference Solutions, with download caps per search (250 to 1,000 depending on the library and database) \[5\]. We compare all of these in [local business databases compared](https://leadraft.co/blog/local-business-database). ### Directories: Yelp, BBB, chambers of commerce[#](#directories-yelp-bbb-chambers-of-commerce) Directories are better for checking and enriching leads than for building the list. Yelp confirms a business's website and phone. BBB profiles often name the owner or principal contact. Chamber of commerce and trade association member directories list businesses that are invested in their local market, which can be a useful quality signal. None is complete: they only contain businesses that listed themselves or joined. ### State business registrations and city licenses[#](#state-business-registrations-and-city-licenses) Every state registers corporations and LLCs, and many cities license or register businesses. Some publish this as free open data: New York posts the last 30 days of entity filings, Colorado publishes every registered entity with its formation date, and Los Angeles and Chicago publish their business registrations and licenses \[6\]\[7\]\[8\]. These are excellent for spotting **new businesses** (see [how to find new businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area)) and for licensed trades, and noisy as a general list: they include holding companies, landlords and home-based businesses. See [how to get a list of all businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/list-of-businesses-in-my-area) for how to use them. ### LinkedIn[#](#linkedin) LinkedIn works for local businesses with an office staff: law firms, accounting practices, agencies, multi-location clinics. It works poorly for owner-run trades, where the owner often has no profile or an old one. Use it to find and confirm names, by hand; LinkedIn's terms prohibit scraping \[9\]. ### Referrals and local events[#](#referrals-and-local-events) Chamber mixers, BNI-style referral groups, trade association meetings and trade shows produce few leads but warm ones. They're slow to scale and hard to beat for high-value sales. Treat them as a channel to run alongside a list, not instead of one. ## Where can I buy local business leads, and what do they cost?[#](#where-can-i-buy-local-business-leads-and-what-do-they-cost) You can buy local business leads as a subscription to a database app, as a one-time list, or as pay-per-row data you clean yourself. These are the published prices from sellers people often compare, as of November 2026 unless marked. Vendors that only quote on request (ZoomInfo, D&B, Data Axle list orders) aren't in the table. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Seller | What you buy | Published price | What it works out to | Built for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Leadraft** (our product) | Businesses in your area with checked emails | Free (500 businesses, 50 checked emails/mo); Starter $19 (25,000 + 1,000); Growth $49 (100,000 + 5,000) | Charged once per business; out-of-area rows free | Cold email to local businesses | | **Salesgenie** (Data Axle; also listed as Data Axle Genie) | Subscription to a prospecting app on Data Axle data | Basic from $99/mo, Pro $149, Team $299 (5 users); 12-month term; exports and emails use extra credits \[4\] | Depends on credit price, not published | Firmographic filters: employee size, revenue, SIC codes | | **UpLead** | Contact credits with verified emails | Essentials $99/mo for 170 credits ($74/mo billed yearly); Plus $199/mo for 400 credits ($149 yearly); 7-day trial with 5 credits \[18\] | About $0.50 to $0.58 per contact on monthly billing | Named contacts at companies with staff | | **LeadsPlease** | One-time business list, postal or postal + email | 500 records $124.95 (mail) or $299.95 (mail + email); 5,000 records $850 or $1,850 \[19\] | $0.17 to $0.60 per record; email "where available" | Direct mail, one-off lists | | **Outscraper** | Pay-per-row Google Maps data, with emails and verification as separate tasks | $3 per 1,000 places, $3 per 1,000 domains for emails, $3 per 1,000 verifications, after free allowances (October 2026) \[20\] | Up to about $9 per 1,000 businesses for all three steps, before cleaning | Builders who clean data themselves | Two cautions before you compare the "works out to" column. A per-record price says nothing about how many records are in your area, still open and reachable, so test a sample of 20 against Google Maps first. And check the license: some lists are one-time use, others can live in your CRM. Our [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) turns any of these prices into cost per usable lead. ## How much do local business leads cost?[#](#how-much-do-local-business-leads-cost) Compare sources on **cost per usable lead**, not cost per record: > cost per usable lead = total cost ÷ number of leads that pass all four tests (area, trade, operating, reachable) Here's a worked example. The goal: **500 dental offices with a found email address** in one metro area. Assumptions are labeled, so you can swap in your own: - About 80% of the businesses you find have a website (an assumption for this example; count your own). - About 54% of business websites give up an email address. That's from Leadraft's own runs, and it's an email _found_, before verification. - To find 500 emails, you need about 500 ÷ 0.54 ≈ 926 websites, so about 926 ÷ 0.8 ≈ 1,160 businesses. - Your time is worth $25 an hour. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Approach | What you pay | Arithmetic | Cost per found email | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **By hand from Google Maps** | Your time: about 3 minutes per business to record it and check the website | 1,160 × 3 min = 58 hours × $25 = $1,450 | about $2.90 | | **Google Places API + emails by hand** | API at $35 per 1,000 Enterprise requests (20 results each) \[10\], plus about 2 minutes per website by hand | API: at least 1,160 ÷ 20 = 58 requests (several times that in practice, since searches overlap), likely within the 1,000 free monthly calls; hand work: 926 × 2 min ≈ 31 hours × $25 = $775 | about $1.55, but with no right to store the data as a database \[11\] | | **Library database** | Free, plus time to export in batches and find emails | Exports are capped per search; email finding as above | about $1.50+, if commercial use is allowed | | **Data vendor** | Subscription plus credits per export or email | (subscription + credits) ÷ records that pass your test | Depends on credit price; test a sample first | | **A lead tool (Leadraft Starter)** | $19 a month: 25,000 business credits, 1,000 checked-email credits | 1,160 business credits; checked-email credits only for verified emails you take out | at most $19 ÷ the verified emails you get; for example, $19 ÷ 400 ≈ $0.05 | The last row's example (400 verified of the 500 found) is illustrative: the share of found emails that verify varies by trade and area, and we don't publish an average. Whatever the source, run the numbers on _your_ market. Our [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) does the arithmetic. Two things the table doesn't show: - **Bounces cost more than money.** A list with dead addresses damages your sending reputation, which costs you on every later campaign. Verified beats cheap. - **Pay once, use often.** A list you build is yours to refresh. A bought list may be licensed for one use. ## How fresh is local business data?[#](#how-fresh-is-local-business-data) Local business data goes stale every month, which is why the date of a record matters as much as the source. From federal statistics: - **310,000 US establishments closed** in the second quarter of 2025, and **323,000 opened** in the first quarter of 2026 \[12\], against about 12.1 million establishments in 2025 \[13\]. - **About one in five new establishments closes in its first year:** 79.6% of those born in 2013 survived year one \[14\]. - **Phones, domains and staff change** without the business closing at all. Rule of thumb: build lists close to when you'll use them, check the date on anything you buy, and verify every email right before you send, not when you first collect it. ## How do I qualify local business leads?[#](#how-do-i-qualify-local-business-leads) Qualify with three written tests, and score each lead before you contact it. Here's a sheet you can copy and adapt: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Test | Question | Example rule | Points | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Fit** | Is it the kind of business I sell to? | Right trade (by category, not keyword); inside my area; independent, not a franchise location | 0–3 | | **Need** | Is there a visible reason they'd want this? | For a web agency: no website or a dated one. For a reviews tool: under 30 reviews. For payments: recently opened | 0–3 | | **Reachability** | Can I actually reach a person? | Verified email (3), accept-all email or direct phone (2), contact form only (1), nothing (0) | 0–3 | Contact leads scoring 7 to 9 first, 4 to 6 next, and park the rest. Most of the fields you need are public: a Maps listing gives you category, rating, review count, website and hours, and the website itself tells you a lot about need. Three common qualification mistakes: 1. **Filtering by keyword instead of category.** A search for "plumber" returns supply stores and bathroom showrooms. Check the listing's category. 2. **Ignoring the area.** Searches near a boundary pull in businesses from the next town. Check each address or coordinate. 3. **Treating accept-all emails as verified.** A catch-all domain accepts every address, so the check proves nothing. Send to those last, in small numbers ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). ## How do I reach local business leads?[#](#how-do-i-reach-local-business-leads) Pick the channel that fits what you sell and how many leads you have. Many teams combine two: email first, then a call to the ones that opened. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Channel | Works best for | Strengths | Watch out for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Email** | Agencies, SaaS, services, any volume | Scales, cheap, easy to personalize from public fields | Needs verified addresses and good sending setup; CAN-SPAM applies \[15\] | | **Phone** | Owner-run trades, high-value offers | Reaches the decision-maker fast | Time-consuming; owners are busy during work hours; call rules apply \[16\] | | **Walk-in** | Retail, restaurants, salons in a tight area | Personal, memorable, high trust | Doesn't scale; pick slow hours | | **Direct mail** | Businesses without email, premium offers | Reaches everyone with an address | Cost per piece; slow feedback | For email specifically: - **Find the address on the business's own site** and verify it before you send. See [how to find the email of any local business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses). - **Follow the law.** In the US, CAN-SPAM applies to business email and doesn't require prior consent, but every message needs honest headers and subject lines, your postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days \[15\]. The UK, EU and Canada are stricter, especially for sole traders. Read our [cold email laws guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) and get advice for your case. - **Send small first,** read every reply, and keep a suppression list. Our [cold email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) covers the setup. For phone: most calls to businesses are exempt from the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule, with exceptions \[16\], and separate FCC rules govern autodialed calls and texts, which matters because many owners list a cell phone. Check before you dial at volume. ## A simple process that works[#](#a-simple-process-that-works) The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. 1. **Write down the market:** trade, area, qualification rule. 2. **Get every business in it,** from Google Maps (with enough keywords and small enough areas), topped up with official registers if useful. 3. **Clean it:** dedupe, drop out-of-area and wrong-trade rows. 4. **Find and verify emails** from each business's own website. 5. **Score** with the fit, need and reachability sheet above. 6. **Reach out** by the channel that fits, small batches first. 7. **Refresh monthly,** adding only the businesses that are new. Our [step-by-step guide to building a local lead list from Google Maps](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) goes deeper on steps 2 to 4. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Where can I get local business leads?[#](#where-can-i-get-local-business-leads-1) The main sources are Google Maps, business data vendors such as Data Axle and its Salesgenie product, directories like Yelp, BBB and chamber member lists, state business registrations and city license data, LinkedIn, and referrals or local events. Google Maps is usually the most complete and current source for businesses that serve the public. ### How much do local business leads cost?[#](#how-much-do-local-business-leads-cost-1) From free (your own time on Google Maps, city open data or a library database) to subscriptions and per-record fees from data vendors. Compare sources on cost per usable lead: total cost divided by leads that are in your area, in your trade, still open and reachable, with a verified email if you're using email. ### How do I find small business leads for free?[#](#how-do-i-find-small-business-leads-for-free) Search Google Maps for each trade and area by hand, download your city's business license data if it's published, check your state's business filings for new entities, use your library's Data Axle Reference Solutions access, and browse chamber of commerce member directories. Then find emails on each business's own website. Our free [Google Maps keyword generator](https://leadraft.co/tools/google-maps-keyword-generator) lists the search terms per trade, and free tiers such as Leadraft's (500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month) cover a first test list. ### How do I qualify a local business lead?[#](#how-do-i-qualify-a-local-business-lead) Write down three tests and score every lead against them: fit (right trade, right size, inside your area), need (a visible reason they'd want what you sell, such as no website or few reviews), and reachability (a verified email or a direct phone number). Contact the leads that pass all three first. ### What is the best way to contact local businesses?[#](#what-is-the-best-way-to-contact-local-businesses) It depends on what you sell. Email scales and works well when the list is verified and the message is specific. Phone works for owner-operated trades. Walking in works for retail and restaurants in a tight area. Direct mail reaches businesses with no email. Many teams combine two. ### Are B2B leads for local businesses different from other B2B leads?[#](#are-b2b-leads-for-local-businesses-different-from-other-b2b-leads) Yes. Most local businesses are small and owner-run, have no sales team on LinkedIn and use a published info@ address or the owner's own email. Contact databases built around company employees tend to cover them poorly, so sources built from the businesses themselves, like Google Maps and their websites, work better. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Merchant services leads: how to prospect for payments and POS clients Build merchant services and POS lead lists: the business types with the most card volume, signs of an old POS you can check by hand, and outreach that works. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Playbook To get merchant services leads, list every business in your territory that takes lots of in-person card payments (restaurants, cafes, bars, salons, auto repair, retail), check each one by hand for signs of an aging setup, and open with a free statement review that shows the owner their real effective rate. Cards are most of what these businesses take: the Federal Reserve found 78% of in-person consumer payments in 2024 were non-cash, and credit cards alone were 35% of all payments. Google Maps gives you every business by category and area; the POS and processor you have to find out yourself, by looking and by asking. ## Which businesses have the most card volume?[#](#which-businesses-have-the-most-card-volume) Target businesses with many in-person transactions, repeat customers and thin margins, because fees matter most to them. The Federal Reserve's 2025 Diary of Consumer Payment Choice shows how far cards have taken over: credit cards made up 35% of all consumer payments in 2024, up 17 points since 2016; cash was 14%; and non-cash payments were 78% of in-person payments, up from 60% in 2016.

Search inside it, not across a whole metro. 2. **Search each category in pieces.** One Google Maps search stops at about 120 results, so split by ZIP code or neighborhood ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). 3. **Export** business, category, phone, website, address, hours, rating and reviews. 4. **Rank by activity.** Review count is a rough proxy for traffic. A cafe with 900 reviews runs far more transactions than one with 40. 5. **Plan the route.** Sort by address and visit in clusters. In merchant services, walk-ins still win deals. 6. **Add new businesses weekly.** A business that just opened is choosing a processor right now. [Finding new businesses in your area](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-new-businesses-in-my-area) covers the sources. ## What signs of an old POS or a poor setup can I check by hand?[#](#what-signs-of-an-old-pos-or-a-poor-setup-can-i-check-by-hand) Lead lists don't tell you which POS or processor a business uses. You find out by looking, on their pages and in person. Each of these is a hint to confirm in conversation, never proof: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Sign | Where to check | What it may mean | | --- | --- | --- | | No online ordering (restaurants) | Website and listing | Missing a channel, or a third-party app taking a cut | | "Order online" link goes to a third-party marketplace | The link's domain | Paying marketplace commissions on pickup orders | | Online ordering on a different provider than the in-store system | Link domain vs the terminal you see | Two systems, two reports, two fees | | Card minimum or "cash discount" sign | In person, menu, website | Owner is fighting fees | | Swipe-only terminal, no chip or tap | In person | Older hardware; fraud liability risk | | Separate countertop terminal next to a cash register | In person | Payments not integrated with sales | | Handwritten tickets or paper gift cards | In person | No POS beyond a card machine | The chip point is about liability, not just looks. Since Visa's US liability shift on October 1, 2015, in-store counterfeit fraud liability falls on whichever party, the card issuer or the merchant, hasn't adopted chip technology. A business still swiping magstripe cards carries that risk. Security standards are another honest conversation opener. PCI DSS v4.0's future-dated requirements became mandatory on March 31, 2025, and many small merchants don't know what their validation involves. Don't sell fear; offer to explain what applies to them. ## What offer gets a merchant to talk?[#](#what-offer-gets-a-merchant-to-talk) Offer a free statement review with a number at the end. Owners rarely know their effective rate, and a specific figure beats any promise of "lower rates." How to run it: 1. Ask for one recent monthly processing statement. 2. Add up **total fees**: every line, including monthly, PCI, statement and equipment fees. 3. Divide by **total card volume** for the month. A worked example: a cafe processed **$40,000** in a month and paid **$1,180** in total fees. Its effective rate is 1,180 ÷ 40,000 = **2.95%**. If a new setup would bring total fees to $1,000 on the same volume (2.5%), the cafe saves $180 a month, or **$2,160 a year**. Show the arithmetic, not just the result. If you can't beat their current setup, say so: they'll remember it.

For calls, the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule exempts most business-to-business calls, but the TCPA restricts autodialed and prerecorded calls to cell phones regardless, and many small business owners list a cell. Some states have their own telemarketing rules. Card network rules and some state laws also govern what merchants may do on surcharges and cash discounts, so check before you recommend either. Google's Maps terms restrict scraping Maps content and building lead lists from it, which is a contract matter separate from these laws.

Bought leads and referral partners such as bookkeepers and POS resellers add volume, but a self-built list isn't shared with other reps. ### What types of businesses are the best merchant services prospects?[#](#what-types-of-businesses-are-the-best-merchant-services-prospects) Businesses with many in-person card payments and thin margins: restaurants, coffee shops, bars, salons, nail salons, gyms, auto repair shops, convenience stores and boutiques. Cards dominate their payments: in the Federal Reserve's 2025 Diary of Consumer Payment Choice, 78% of in-person payments in 2024 were non-cash. ### How can I tell what POS system a business uses?[#](#how-can-i-tell-what-pos-system-a-business-uses) By looking. Visit and see the terminal, check where the "Order online" link on the business's website or listing points, and look at receipts or gift card pages. Lead lists don't tell you the POS or processor, so treat any guess from a website as a hint and confirm in conversation. ### What is a merchant statement review?[#](#what-is-a-merchant-statement-review) You ask for one recent monthly processing statement, divide total fees by total card volume to get the effective rate, and show the owner where the money goes. For example, $1,180 in fees on $40,000 of volume is a 2.95% effective rate. It gives the owner a concrete number and gives you a reason to meet. ### Can I cold call businesses to sell merchant services?[#](#can-i-cold-call-businesses-to-sell-merchant-services) In the US, most business-to-business calls are exempt from the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule, but the TCPA still restricts autodialed and prerecorded calls to cell phones, and many small business owners list a cell. Dial manually, honor do-not-call requests, follow state rules, and get legal advice for your setup. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # How to build a Google Maps leads workflow in n8n (with verified emails) Build a Google Maps leads workflow in n8n: your data source options, the 60 and 120 result caps, a node-by-node REST API and webhook build, then Sheets or Instantly. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Read time 11 min Category Playbook To build a Google Maps leads workflow in n8n, you need a data source first: n8n has no official Google Maps node, so workflows either call the Google Places API through the HTTP Request node, run a scraper through a community node, or call a lead tool's API. The core build is four nodes: start a search, wait and poll until it finishes, page through the leads, and write them to Google Sheets or a sending tool. If you want n8n to receive leads instead of fetching them, a Webhook node can catch them as they're exported. Below are the options, the result cap that breaks most templates, and a node-by-node build with exact endpoints. ## What are my options for getting Google Maps data into n8n?[#](#what-are-my-options-for-getting-google-maps-data-into-n8n) There are three ways to get businesses from Google Maps into n8n, and they differ in how many businesses you get per search and whether emails come with them. We checked n8n's integrations directory in November 2026 and found no official Google Maps or Places node; the Google nodes listed are Sheets, Gmail, Drive, Calendar and Gemini. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Route | How it works in n8n | Results per query | Emails | Runs on n8n Cloud | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Google Places API | HTTP Request node to Text Search (New), with your API key | Up to 60 (20 per page, 3 pages) | No: Google doesn't provide them | Yes | | Community node or scraper actor | A community node (for example one wrapping an Apify actor) or an HTTP call to the scraper's API | Depends on the actor and its settings | Some actors crawl websites for emails; checks vary | Verified community nodes only | | Lead tool REST API | HTTP Request nodes to the tool's API, or its webhook into an n8n Webhook node | Whole area, deduped | Depends on the tool | Yes | Two n8n details matter here. First, unverified community nodes "aren't available on n8n cloud" and need a self-hosted instance; only verified ones install from the in-app nodes panel. Many Google Maps community nodes are small, early packages, so check their version history before you depend on one. Second, n8n counts an execution as "a single run of your entire workflow", regardless of how many steps it has. As of November 2026, n8n Cloud's Starter plan was listed at €20 a month (billed annually) for 2,500 executions, and the self-hosted Community edition is on GitHub. On terms: Google's Maps terms restrict scraping Maps content, and the Places API has its own rules about storing data. Read [is scraping Google Maps legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) before you build a large pipeline, and get legal advice if you resell or store the data long term. ## Why do n8n Google Maps templates stop at 60 or 120 results?[#](#why-do-n8n-google-maps-templates-stop-at-60-or-120-results) Because one Google search is capped, and most templates run one search per city. Google's Text Search (New) reference says it "returns a maximum of 60 results across all pages", and the Maps interface itself stops at about 120 places per search. A template that runs "dentist in Phoenix" through either route gets the top of Google's ranking and silently misses everyone else. One search stops after a few hundred results, mostly near the middle. Searching the area tile by tile reaches the edges. Measured once: Portland coffee shops, 230 from one search vs 457 tiled (measured on one city and one keyword.) The fix is the same whatever tool you use: split the area into small tiles, search each tile, split any tile that still returns the full cap, try several names for the trade ("dentist", "dental clinic", "orthodontist"), and dedupe by Google place ID. Building that inside n8n is possible, but it means a grid generator, a recursive split, and a lot of API calls billed per request, not per business. Our [120 results limit guide](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) walks through the method, and [Places API vs scraping](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-places-api-vs-scraping) works through what the API calls cost. The rest of this guide uses a lead tool's API as the source, so n8n only has to orchestrate. The example is Leadraft's REST API, because its endpoints are documented publicly; the same shape works with any tool that has a "start search, poll, read results" API. ## How do I build the workflow node by node?[#](#how-do-i-build-the-workflow-node-by-node) The pull version of the workflow has six nodes and runs as one execution. Here it is end to end: ``` Schedule Trigger (or Manual Trigger) → HTTP Request: POST /searches (start the search, keep "group") → Wait: 30 seconds → HTTP Request: GET /searches/{group} (check status) → If: status is "completed"? false → back to Wait true → HTTP Request: GET /leads (paginated) → Google Sheets: Append or Update Row (match on place ID) ``` ### Step 1: Create a credential for the API key[#](#step-1-create-a-credential-for-the-api-key) In Leadraft, create an API key under Settings → API keys. Keys look like `lg_...`. In n8n, create a **Header Auth** credential (one of the HTTP Request node's generic authentication methods) with the name `Authorization` and the value `Bearer lg_your_key`. Every HTTP Request node below uses it. The API allows 120 requests a minute per key, which a polling workflow never gets near. ### Step 2: Start the search[#](#step-2-start-the-search) Add an **HTTP Request** node: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Setting | Value | | --- | --- | | Method | POST | | URL | `https://app.leadraft.co/api/v1/searches` | | Authentication | Generic credential type → Header Auth | | Send Headers | `Idempotency-Key`: a unique value, for example the execution ID | | Body | JSON (below) | ```json { "queries": ["dentist in Phoenix, AZ", "orthodontist in Phoenix, AZ"], "email_required": true, "scope": "in" } ``` Each line is its own search, up to 500 lines and 25 locations per request. `scope: "in"` counts only businesses inside the city boundary; `"near"` adds a ring set by `scope_km`. The response returns `201` with a `group` (keep it) and a `failed` array listing any line that couldn't run and why. The `Idempotency-Key` header means a retried node returns the first answer instead of starting the searches twice. A `402` means the account is out of business credits. Tip: you can paste the curl example from the [API docs](https://leadraft.co/docs/api) into the node with **Import cURL**. Imported values come in as strings, so switch the body to **Using JSON** if you need real booleans. ### Step 3: Wait, then poll the status[#](#step-3-wait-then-poll-the-status) Add a **Wait** node set to **After Time Interval**, 30 seconds. Then an **HTTP Request** node: - Method: GET - URL: `https://app.leadraft.co/api/v1/searches/{{ $('Start search').item.json.group }}` (use your node's name) The response has `status`, which is `running`, `finishing` (searching is done, emails are still being found and checked), `paused` or `completed`, plus `businesses`, `with_email`, `searches_done` and `searches_total`. The docs suggest polling every 10–30 seconds; businesses usually start arriving within minutes. Add an **If** node: `{{ $json.status }}` equals `completed`. Connect the false branch back to the Wait node. n8n offloads waits of 65 seconds or more to its database, so if you'd rather poll every two minutes on a long search, that's fine too. Don't treat `finishing` as done: at that stage the businesses are in, but emails are still being checked, and reading early gives you rows without them. ### Step 4: Read the leads, page by page[#](#step-4-read-the-leads-page-by-page) On the true branch, add an **HTTP Request** node: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Setting | Value | | --- | --- | | Method | GET | | URL | `https://app.leadraft.co/api/v1/leads` | | Query parameters | `search_group` = the group, `grade` = `valid`, `limit` = `500` | | Pagination | Update a Parameter in Each Request: query `cursor` = `{{ $response.body.next }}` | `/leads` is keyset-paged: each page returns `items` and a `next` value, which you send back as `cursor`. Set the node to stop when `next` comes back null, which marks the last page. `grade=valid` returns only Verified emails; add a second `grade` parameter with `catch_all` if you want accept-all addresses too (keep them in a separate sheet or campaign). Invalid addresses are never returned. Then add a **Split Out** node on `items`, so each lead becomes its own n8n item. One billing detail: reading a Verified address you haven't been charged for uses one checked-email credit, once. If credits run out, the email comes back null with `email_withheld: true`, and it fills in on a later read. ### Step 5: Write to Google Sheets without duplicates[#](#step-5-write-to-google-sheets-without-duplicates) Add a **Google Sheets** node with the **Append or Update Row** operation, which updates a matching row or adds a new one at the end. Match on the place ID column so re-running the workflow updates businesses instead of duplicating them. Map the columns you'll use: name, email, email grade, phone, website, city, rating, review count. If you only need a sheet, you can skip n8n entirely: Leadraft's [live feeds](https://leadraft.co/docs/feeds) give you a private CSV link that Google Sheets reads with `=IMPORTDATA(...)` and refreshes about once an hour. ## How do I make n8n receive leads instead of polling?[#](#how-do-i-make-n8n-receive-leads-instead-of-polling) Use a Webhook node and let the lead tool push. This is the better pattern for monitors, which find new businesses on a schedule and send only the new ones. 1. Add an n8n **Webhook** node, method POST. Turn on the **Raw Body** option, because the signature is computed over the exact bytes sent. Set **Respond** to **Immediately**. 2. Activate the workflow and copy the **production** URL. The test URL only works while the editor is listening. 3. In Leadraft, choose **Webhook** as the destination when you export a segment, or as a monitor's destination, and paste the URL. Optionally generate a signing secret under Settings → Integrations → Webhook. 4. Verify the signature. Each request carries `X-LeadGrid-Signature: sha256=`, an HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body keyed with your secret. n8n's **Crypto** node has an Hmac action with SHA256 and HEX encoding; compute it over the raw body, prefix `sha256=`, and drop the request in an **If** node if it doesn't match. 5. **Split Out** the `leads` array, then write each lead to Sheets, a database or a CRM. What arrives: ```json { "source": "leadgrid", "export_id": 3141, "count": 200, "leads": [ { "email": "hello@brightsmile.example", "email_grade": "valid", "business": "Bright Smile Dental", "category": "Dentist", "phone": "+15125550142", "website": "https://brightsmile.example/", "city": "Austin", "state": "Texas", "country": "US", "in_area": true, "place_id": 48213, "google_place_id": "ChIJ…" } ] } ``` Rules worth building around: - Leads come in **batches of 200**, so one export of 1,000 leads is five requests and five n8n executions. - Answer with a `2xx` within 30 seconds. Network errors and `5xx` answers are retried (3 attempts in total); a `4xx` stops the push. "Respond Immediately" keeps you inside the window. - A batch can arrive more than once, so **upsert on `place_id`**, never blind-append. - Webhooks carry lead batches, not events. There's no "search finished" event yet; to react when a search completes, use the polling loop above. - The URL must be public and final: redirects aren't followed and private networks are refused. Self-hosted n8n behind a firewall needs a public tunnel or reverse proxy. The full payload and field list are in the [webhooks docs](https://leadraft.co/docs/webhooks). ## How do I send the leads from n8n to Instantly or a CRM?[#](#how-do-i-send-the-leads-from-n8n-to-instantly-or-a-crm) Add one more HTTP Request node per lead. For Instantly, the API v2 call is `POST https://api.instantly.ai/api/v2/leads` with a bearer token, a `campaign` (the campaign's ID), the `email`, and extra fields in `custom_variables`: ```json { "campaign": "your-campaign-id", "email": "{{ $json.email }}", "company_name": "{{ $json.business }}", "website": "{{ $json.website }}", "custom_variables": { "city": "{{ $json.city }}", "category": "{{ $json.category }}" }, "skip_if_in_workspace": true } ``` Instantly's reference also lists skip flags (`skip_if_in_workspace`, `skip_if_in_campaign`) and a `verify_leads_on_import` flag. Leave verification off for addresses that are already Verified, and keep the skip flag on so the same business isn't emailed from two campaigns. Use the HTTP Request node's batching options (items per batch, batch interval) to stay under Instantly's rate limit. That said, n8n in the middle only earns its place if you're doing something to the leads on the way: scoring them, writing a first line with an AI node, routing by city. If you just want leads in a campaign, a direct push is fewer moving parts. Our guide to [importing Google Maps leads into Instantly](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-leads-to-instantly) covers the column mapping either way. ## Which pattern should I use?[#](#which-pattern-should-i-use) Pick by what starts the work. Scroll horizontally if needed → | You want | Pattern | n8n nodes | | --- | --- | --- | | Run a search on a schedule and collect the results | Pull: start, poll, read | Schedule Trigger, HTTP Request ×3, Wait, If, Google Sheets | | Get new businesses in a market as they appear | Push from a [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) | Webhook, Crypto, If, Split Out, destination | | Send an existing segment to a custom destination | Push from an export | Webhook, Split Out, destination | | Just a sheet that stays current | No n8n: live feed | None (`IMPORTDATA` in Sheets) | ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Does n8n have a Google Maps scraper node?[#](#does-n8n-have-a-google-maps-scraper-node) Not an official one, as far as we could find in n8n's integrations directory in November 2026. Most n8n Google Maps workflows call the Google Places API with the HTTP Request node, run a third-party scraper (such as an Apify actor) through a community node or HTTP call, or call a lead tool's REST API. ### Why does my n8n Google Maps workflow stop at 60 or 120 results?[#](#why-does-my-n8n-google-maps-workflow-stop-at-60-or-120-results) Because one Google search is capped. Google's Places API Text Search returns at most 60 results across all pages, and the Maps interface stops at about 120. To get every business in a city you have to split the area into smaller tiles, search each, and dedupe by place ID, or use a source that does that for you. ### Can n8n receive leads from Leadraft automatically?[#](#can-n8n-receive-leads-from-leadraft-automatically) Yes, through a webhook. Add an n8n Webhook node, copy its production URL, and choose Webhook as the destination when you export a segment or set up a monitor in Leadraft. Leadraft posts the leads as JSON in batches of 200, signed with HMAC-SHA256 if you set a signing secret. There is no native Leadraft node. ### How many n8n executions does a Google Maps leads workflow use?[#](#how-many-n8n-executions-does-a-google-maps-leads-workflow-use) n8n counts one execution per run of a whole workflow, however many nodes it has. A workflow that starts a search, waits, polls and writes rows is one execution per run. A webhook workflow is one execution per batch it receives. ### Can I send the leads from n8n to Instantly?[#](#can-i-send-the-leads-from-n8n-to-instantly) Yes. Call Instantly's API (`POST /api/v2/leads` with a campaign ID and the email) from an HTTP Request node, one lead per item. If you don't need n8n in the middle, Leadraft can also push to Instantly directly. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1. n8n Docs, [HTTP Request node](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.httprequest/) (generic Header Auth, pagination modes, `$response`, batching, Import cURL), seen November 3, 2026. 2. n8n Docs, [Webhook node](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.webhook/) (test vs production URL, Raw Body, Respond options, 16 MB payload), seen November 3, 2026. 3. n8n Docs, [Wait node](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.wait/) (resume options; waits of 65 seconds or more offloaded), seen November 3, 2026. 4. n8n Docs, [Crypto node](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.crypto/) (Hmac with SHA256, HEX encoding). 5. n8n Docs, [Google Sheets: sheet operations](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.googlesheets/sheet-operations/) (Append or Update Row). 6. n8n Docs, [Install community nodes](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/installation/) (unverified nodes not available on n8n Cloud). 7. n8n, [Pricing](https://n8n.io/pricing/) (plans, executions, definition of an execution), seen November 3, 2026. 8.

Scroll horizontally if needed → | City | Dataset | Useful fields | Updated | Oct 2026 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Chicago | [Business Licenses](https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/r5kz-chrr) | Legal name, DBA, address, license type, business activity, application type, date issued | Daily | 595 new (application type "ISSUE") | | Los Angeles | [Listing of Active Businesses](https://data.lacity.org/d/6rrh-rzua) | Business name, DBA, address, mailing address, NAICS, location start date | Monthly | 773 by start date | | San Francisco | [Registered Business Locations](https://data.sfgov.org/d/g8m3-pdis) | Ownership name, DBA, address, NAICS, location start date | Daily | 905 by start date | | Seattle | [Active Business License Tax Certificate](https://data.seattle.gov/d/wnbq-64tb) | Legal and trade name, ownership type, NAICS, address, business phone, license start date | Daily | 470 by start date | | Denver | [Active Business Licenses](https://opendata-geospatialdenver.hub.arcgis.com/) | Entity and trade name, license type and status, application date, address | Not stated | 111 by application date | | Philadelphia | [Business Licenses](https://opendataphilly.org/datasets/licenses-and-inspections-business-licenses/) | License type, legal and business name, address, initial issue date | Daily | 1,400 by issue date (includes rental licenses) | | New Orleans | [Occupational Business Licenses](https://data.nola.gov/d/hjcd-grvu) | Business name, owner name, business type, start date, address, phone | Daily | 120 by start date | | San Diego | [Business Tax Certificates](https://data.sandiego.gov/datasets/business-listings/) | Owner name, DBA, NAICS, account creation and business start dates, address | Daily | Not counted | | Washington, DC | [Basic Business License in Last 30 Days](https://opendata.dc.gov/datasets/DCGIS::basic-business-license-in-last-30-days) | Rolling 30-day file | Not stated | Not counted | A few notes from working with these: - **Dates mean different things.** Chicago marks a brand-new license with an application type of "ISSUE"; renewals are separate. LA and San Francisco use a "location start date", which a business reports and which can be backdated. Seattle stores its start date as text (YYYYMMDD) and includes some future dates, such as 2027. Filter carefully. - **Not every big city has one.** We found no general business license dataset for Boston, Baltimore, Sacramento or Portland, Oregon, and New York City's DCWP license data showed no new licenses after April 2026 when we checked. NYC's DCWP only licenses certain trades anyway. - **Austin and Dallas** don't publish a general business license dataset we could find. For Texas, the Comptroller publishes [Active Sales Tax Permit Holders](https://data.texas.gov/d/jrea-zgmq) with a permit issue date. In October 2026 it showed 1,007 new outlet permits in Austin and 810 in Dallas. It only covers businesses that collect sales tax. To pull a month from a Socrata portal (Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans), add a filter to the dataset's API URL. For Chicago: ``` https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/r5kz-chrr.json?$where=application_type='ISSUE' AND date_issued between '2026-10-01T00:00:00' and '2026-10-31T23:59:59' ``` Or use the portal's own filter and **Export > CSV** button. No account needed. ## Which counties post weekly or monthly new business lists?[#](#which-counties-post-weekly-or-monthly-new-business-lists) Smaller governments often publish a PDF or web list instead of a dataset. Examples: Scroll horizontally if needed → | County or city | What's published | How often | | --- | --- | --- | | Gwinnett County, GA | [Weekly listing](https://gwinnettcounty.com/departments/planningdevelopment/services/businesslicense/weeklylisting) of business licenses issued | Weekly | | Clark County, NV | [New businesses](https://clarkcountynv.gov/business/doing_business_with_clark_county/new-businesses) PDFs, removed on a rolling annual basis | Monthly | | Chandler, AZ | ["New Businesses in Chandler"](https://www.chandleraz.gov/business/tax-and-license/business-registration) PDFs, with limited information; businesses can opt out | Monthly | To find yours, search `"[city or county] new business license list"` or `"[county] weekly business license report"`. Local news sites sometimes republish these lists; go to the government source when you can, since it's free and complete. ## Which states publish new LLC and corporation filings?[#](#which-states-publish-new-llc-and-corporation-filings) State filings catch a business earlier than a license, often before it has a location. Several states publish them as data: Scroll horizontally if needed → | State | Dataset | Useful fields | Updated | Recent count | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | New York | [Daily Corporation and Other Entity Filing Data](https://data.ny.gov/d/k4vb-judh) | Filing type, entity name, filing date, county, filer name and address | Daily, rolling 30 days | Oct 2026: 15,524 new LLCs, 5,567 new corporations | | Colorado | [Business Entities in Colorado](https://data.colorado.gov/d/4ykn-tg5h) | Entity name, type, status, principal address, registered agent, formation date | Daily | Oct 2026: 15,756 formed | | Oregon | [New Businesses Registered Last Month](https://data.oregon.gov/d/esjy-u4fc) | Business name, entity type, registry date, an associated person's name, address | Monthly | Sept 2026: 7,904 businesses | | Connecticut | [Business Registry: Business Master](https://data.ct.gov/d/n7gp-d28j) | Name, type, status, registration date, billing address, business email | Daily | Oct 2026: 5,049 registered | | Florida | [Sunbiz data downloads](https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/other-services/data-downloads/) | Daily corporate filing files, quarterly full file | Daily on work days | Not counted | Expect a lot of noise. Many new entities are holding companies, property LLCs ("2611 SE 51st Ave LLC") or side projects that never trade. If dozens of filings share one address, it's a registered agent. Keep entities with a trade in the name and drop the rest. For looking up a single company rather than a list, see [how to find who owns an LLC, by state](https://leadraft.co/blog/find-llc-owner-by-state). ## Should I buy a new business list instead?[#](#should-i-buy-a-new-business-list-instead) Buy when you need national coverage, phone numbers or contact names without the matching work. Vendors compile filings, licenses and other sources into one file. As of November 2026, from their own pages: Scroll horizontally if needed → | Vendor | What it sells | Price stated | | --- | --- | --- | | Data Axle (formerly infoUSA) | [New business lists](https://leads.dataaxleusa.com/DailyNewBusinesses.aspx), daily or weekly, filtered by type, home-based or commercial, and area | Free count and quote; no price shown | | LeadsPlease | [New business list](https://www.leadsplease.com/mailing-lists/business/new-business-list) with contact name, address, phone, SIC; email for some | "Start at $99.75"; 25 free leads | | NextMark (list marketplace) | ["New Business Filings"](https://lists.nextmark.com/market?page=order%2Fonline%2Fdatacard&id=190132) postal list | $90 per thousand, 5,000-name minimum | | OpenCorporates | Company registry data via API | API from £225 a month | Two cautions. Paid lists still come from the same public records, so they're only as fresh as their last update. And LeadsPlease itself notes that "not all new businesses have email addresses setup right away." Our post on [buying a business email list](https://leadraft.co/blog/buy-business-email-list) covers the wider trade-offs. ## How do I turn license lists into a monthly pipeline?[#](#how-do-i-turn-license-lists-into-a-monthly-pipeline) Pull the records, clean them, match each one to something you can contact, then repeat on the same day each month. The matching step is where most of the work is, because license records rarely include an email. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. 1. **Pick your sources.** One city or county dataset for licenses, plus your state's filings if you sell pre-opening services (insurance, payroll, fit-out). 2. **Pull last month.** Filter by issue or start date. Save the raw file with the month in its name. 3. **Filter to your trades.** Use the license type, business activity or NAICS code. A restaurant supplier keeps food service; a web designer keeps retail, services and trades. 4. **Drop the noise.** Remove renewals, rental licenses, holding companies and registered-agent addresses. 5. **Match to a contact.** Search each business name and address to find its website or Google Maps listing. That's where the phone, website and email come from. Expect some to have nothing yet; keep them and check again next month. 6. **Find and verify emails.** Pull the published address from the website and verify it before sending. See [how to find the email of any local business](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-find-emails-of-local-businesses). 7. **Dedupe and load.** Check against last month's list and your do-not-contact list, then load the rest into your CRM or sending tool. The [lead list template](https://leadraft.co/blog/lead-list-template) has the columns and dedupe formulas. A worked example: if Chicago issues about 600 new licenses in a month and you sell to restaurants and cafes, filtering to food-service activities leaves you a much smaller set, and matching leaves fewer still with a website or email. Track your own numbers at each step for two months before you plan around them, and use the [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) to see how many contacts your reply-rate target needs. ## What are the limits of license lists?[#](#what-are-the-limits-of-license-lists) They tell you a business exists on paper, not that it's open or reachable. - **Timing varies.** A license can be issued months before opening, or after the business has been trading for a while. - **Coverage varies.** Some cities license almost every business; others license only regulated trades ([Cincinnati's dataset](https://data.cincinnati-oh.gov/d/7dk3-gngs), for example, covers types like amusement and massage businesses). - **Contact data is thin.** Most records have a name and address. Phones are rare and emails rarer (Connecticut's registry is an exception with a business email field). - **Home businesses are mixed in.** Many new licenses are home-based. That's fine if you sell to them, and noise if you don't. - **Personal data.** Some datasets include an owner's name and mailing address. Contact the business, not the person's home, and follow the rules for each channel (see [cold email laws](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws)). ## How does Google Maps fit in?[#](#how-does-google-maps-fit-in) It's the other end of the timeline. A license list catches a business when it registers; Google Maps catches it when it becomes visible to customers, usually with a phone number, website and category. Repeating the same Maps searches each month and keeping only the listings you haven't seen before gives you a second new-business feed that doesn't depend on your city publishing anything. A business that's new to your search isn't always newly opened, so check review counts or an opening date before you call it new. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Where can I get a list of new business licenses?[#](#where-can-i-get-a-list-of-new-business-licenses) From your city or county. Many cities publish business licenses as open data with an issue or start date, including Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Diego. Some counties, like Gwinnett County, Georgia and Clark County, Nevada, post weekly or monthly lists. Search your city's open data portal for "business license". ### Are new business license lists free?[#](#are-new-business-license-lists-free) The official ones are. City and state open data portals publish them for free, usually with a free API and CSV download. Paid vendors such as Data Axle and LeadsPlease sell compiled new business lists with extra fields like phone and contact name. ### How do I get a list of new LLCs in my state?[#](#how-do-i-get-a-list-of-new-llcs-in-my-state) Check whether your Secretary of State publishes filings as data. New York publishes the last 30 days of filings daily, Colorado publishes every entity with its formation date, Oregon publishes the businesses registered last month, Connecticut publishes its business registry daily, and Florida offers free daily filing files. ### How many new business licenses are issued each month?[#](#how-many-new-business-licenses-are-issued-each-month) It depends on the city. In October 2026, Chicago's open data recorded 595 newly issued licenses, San Francisco 905 newly registered business locations and Seattle 470 business license start dates. Those counts include home businesses and ones that may never open a storefront. ### Are new business license lists good for sales leads?[#](#are-new-business-license-lists-good-for-sales-leads) Yes, for anything a business buys in its first months: insurance, payroll, payments, signage, websites, supplies. The catch is contact data. Most license records have a name and address but no email and often no phone, so you match each record to its website or Google Maps listing before you can reach it. ## Sources[#](#sources) 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Outscraper alternatives: 7 options compared (2026) Seven Outscraper alternatives compared on price, email finding, verification and area search, with October 2026 prices and the cost of a finished, checked list. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Comparison If you use Outscraper to build **local lead lists with emails**, the best alternative is Leadraft (we make Leadraft). Outscraper prices places, email finding and verification as three separate tasks; Leadraft includes all three in one plan and charges once per business. At 50,000 businesses and 25,000 checked emails, that's $149 on Leadraft's Scale plan against about $372 for Outscraper's chain. Below are the facts on Leadraft and six other alternatives, and what a finished list costs in each. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Prices and features come from each vendor's own pages, checked in October 2026 and linked in the Sources. Last checked: November 3, 2026 (Outscraper, Apify and Scrap.io prices re-checked). We haven't run a speed or coverage test of these tools, so there are no speed or coverage claims here._ ## Why do people look for Outscraper alternatives?[#](#why-do-people-look-for-outscraper-alternatives) Mostly because of how the cost of a finished list adds up, not because the data is poor. Outscraper is well rated: 4.6 on Trustpilot from 342 reviews as of October 2026, with frequent praise for support and ease of use. The reasons people compare it come down to four things. - **A sendable lead is three line items.** Places, Emails & Contacts and the Email Verifier are each priced per 1,000. That's clear per task, but a verified email costs the sum of all three, about $9 per 1,000 places taken through every step under 100,000. - **Billing and refunds.** A few Trustpilot reviewers in October 2026 describe refund requests that went unanswered. Outscraper's pricing page offers a full refund within 3 days only if its tools fail to retrieve data. - **Data gaps.** One October 2026 reviewer said results for their search "had more holes than hits." Others report the opposite, so test your own market. - **Area targeting.** The scraper page describes choosing locations from a dropdown. If you sell inside a drawn territory, you'll want polygon or radius search. ## How do the Outscraper alternatives compare?[#](#how-do-the-outscraper-alternatives-compare) Here's the comparison at a glance, as of October 2026. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Pricing model | Price per 1,000 records | Email finding | Verification | Polygon / radius | Free tier | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Outscraper** | Pay as you go | $3, then $1 over 100k | $3 per 1,000 domains | Separate, $3 per 1,000 | Not described | 500 places, 500 contacts, 25 checks per 30 days | | Leadraft | Monthly plan | $0.25 to $0.76 | Included | Included, catch-all graded | Every plan | 500 businesses + 50 checked emails/mo | | Apify | Usage + add-ons | $4 (Free) to $1.50 (Business) | $2 per 1,000 places (Free) | People-lead emails only | Polygon, radius | $5 of usage/mo | | G Maps Extractor | Monthly plan | about $0.95 to $0.30 | Yes | Not described for business emails | Not described | 1,000 records/mo | | Scrap.io | Monthly plan | about $4.90 to $4.99 ($3.50 billed yearly) | Email field | Not described | Radius from $99, polygon at $499 | 7 days, 100 leads | | Lobstr.io | Monthly credits | $2 (Starter) to $1 (Pro) | +1 credit if found | Verify Emails option | 50 km geo match | 100 results/mo | | Octoparse | Plan + template fees | $2 per 1,000 lines | $0.50 per 1,000 lines | Not described | Not described | Free plan | | Bright Data | Pay as you go | $1.50, $1.30 on Scale | Not described | Not described | Not described | 5,000 records/mo | ## The alternatives, one by one[#](#the-alternatives-one-by-one) ### 1\. Leadraft: one plan for businesses and checked emails[#](#1-leadraft-one-plan-for-businesses-and-checked-emails) Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside a place you choose, finds emails on each business's own website, and checks each one against the mail server before it counts. Plans run from Free (500 businesses, 50 checked emails a month, no card) to Scale at $149 (600,000 businesses, 30,000 checked emails). Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. You're charged once per business, ever, and businesses outside your area or trade are shown free. It's built for a list you can push to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot without chaining three tasks. It doesn't pull review text or photos; that's a different job. Full detail in [Leadraft vs Outscraper](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper). ### 2\. Apify Google Maps Scraper: a developer platform[#](#2-apify-google-maps-scraper-a-developer-platform) Apify's most popular Maps actor charges per event: $4 per 1,000 places on the Free plan down to $1.50 on Business, plus add-ons such as company contacts enrichment ($2 per 1,000 places on Free and Starter), reviews and images. It supports polygon and radius search and claims to bypass the 120-place limit. The trade-off is cost you have to model: reviewers on Trustpilot (4.8 from 817 reviews) note that usage adds up at scale. See [Leadraft vs Apify](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify). ### 3\. G Maps Extractor: low cost per record, plus an extension[#](#3-g-maps-extractor-low-cost-per-record-plus-an-extension) Plans run from Free (1,000 records a month) to Professional at $149 for 500,000 records, about $0.30 per 1,000. There's a Chrome and Edge extension that can extract saved place lists, an API and an MCP server. Business emails are described as "scraped from the internet", so plan to verify them yourself. See [Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor). ### 4\. Scrap.io: three map platforms[#](#4-scrapio-three-map-platforms) Scrap.io covers Google Maps, Apple Maps and Bing Maps, with filters before export (website, phone, mobile, email, rating, Facebook, Instagram). As of November 2026, plans are $49 to $499 a month billed monthly, or $35 to $350 a month billed yearly, for 10,000 to 100,000 export credits a month. Radius search starts on Professional ($99 monthly, $69 yearly) and polygons on Company ($499 monthly, $350 yearly). Credits don't carry over. See [Leadraft vs Scrap.io](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io). ### 5\. Lobstr.io: pay per result[#](#5-lobstrio-pay-per-result) Lobstr's Google Maps Leads Scraper costs one credit per result, and its email add-on charges one more credit only when it finds an email. Starter is $20 for 10,000 credits. It runs one search per ZIP code for full-area coverage and has a Verify Emails option, though the page doesn't price it. Credits don't roll over. ### 6\. Octoparse: a visual scraper for every site[#](#6-octoparse-a-visual-scraper-for-every-site) Octoparse is a point-and-click scraper with templates. Its advanced Google Maps template is $2 per 1,000 lines and says it can exceed the 120-result limit by splitting the map. Emails come from a separate Email Finder template at $0.50 per 1,000 lines. Paid plans start at $69 a month billed annually. It's a general scraper for many kinds of websites, not just Maps. ### 7\. Bright Data: raw data at scale[#](#7-bright-data-raw-data-at-scale) Bright Data's Google Maps scraper API gives 5,000 records a month free, then $1.50 per 1,000 pay as you go, or $499 a month for 384,000 records on Scale. It also sells a ready-made Google Maps dataset. The page doesn't describe email finding or verification, so those are separate steps. ## What would a finished list cost in each?[#](#what-would-a-finished-list-cost-in-each) For 5,000 businesses, about half with a findable email (an assumption for the arithmetic), every email checked, the totals as of October 2026 come out like this. Where a tool doesn't verify, we add Outscraper's own verifier at $3 per 1,000 so every row ends at the same place. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Total, about | What's included | | --- | --- | --- | | Outscraper | $34 | 4,500 paid places + 4,500 paid domains + 2,475 paid checks, after free allowances | | Leadraft | $49 (Growth) or $19 (Starter) | Businesses and checked emails; Starter covers up to 1,000 Verified | | Apify | $33 | $15 places + $10 contacts at Starter rates, + $7.50 verifier | | G Maps Extractor | $27 | Lite $19 + $7.50 verifier | | Scrap.io | $57 | Basic $49 billed monthly (city only) + $7.50 verifier | | Lobstr.io | $20 + verification | 7,500 credits on Starter | The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. At this size, Outscraper is competitive. It gets more expensive per list as volume grows: at 50,000 businesses and 25,000 emails, the same chain is about $372, against $149 for Leadraft's Scale plan, which includes 30,000 checked emails. The [best Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-google-maps-scrapers) guide shows the full working, and the [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) runs it with your own numbers. ## Outscraper vs Apify: which is cheaper for a lead list?[#](#outscraper-vs-apify-which-is-cheaper-for-a-lead-list) At small volumes they cost about the same; the difference is in how unused money behaves and how the price changes with your plan. Both prices below are from each vendor's pricing as of November 2026, with a separate verifier added to Apify at Outscraper's rate so both lists end with checked emails. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Outscraper | Apify Google Maps Scraper | | --- | --- | --- | | Places, per 1,000 | First 500 free, then $3, then $1 over 100,000 | $4 on Free, $3 on Starter, $2 on Scale, $1.50 on Business | | Website emails, per 1,000 | First 500 domains free, then $3 per 1,000 domains | Company contacts add-on: $2 per 1,000 places on Free and Starter, $1.50 on Scale, $1.05 on Business | | Verification | Own verifier: first 25 free, then $3 per 1,000 | Covers people-lead emails only; use a separate verifier for website emails | | 5,000 businesses, 2,500 emails checked | about $34 | about $33 on Starter ($19 plan) | | 50,000 businesses, 25,000 emails checked | about $372 | about $325 at Starter rates | | Unused money | Prepaid credits never expire | Plan usage expires at the end of each billing cycle | | Area search | Location list | Polygon, MultiPolygon, radius | Outscraper's prepaid credits never expire; Apify's per-place price falls to $1.50 on its Business plan. Neither includes verification of website emails in the scraper price, so both lists need a third step before you send. In Leadraft that step is included, and 5,000 businesses with checked emails fit in the $49 Growth plan. ## Where does Leadraft fit?[#](#where-does-leadraft-fit) Leadraft is built for local business lists with checked emails, and it's the Outscraper alternative we recommend for that job. - **One price for the whole list.** Businesses, emails from each business's own website, and a mailbox check on every email, all in the plan. Catch-all servers get their own Accept-all grade, and Invalid addresses never export. - **Your exact area.** City, county, ZIP, polygon, radius or KML file on every plan, searched in tiles past the 120-result cap. Rows outside the area or in the wrong trade are shown free and never charged. - **Pay once per business.** Re-running an area next month only charges for new businesses, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. - **What it doesn't do.** Review text, photos, or scrapers for other Google products and websites. It searches Google Maps only. ## How do you switch from Outscraper?[#](#how-do-you-switch-from-outscraper) Switching takes an afternoon if you test on your own market first. 1. **Pick one real search.** Same keyword, same city, one you've run in Outscraper before. 2. **Run it on a free tier.** Count unique businesses inside the area, not raw rows. 3. **Count checked emails.** Compare addresses that pass a mailbox check. Treat catch-all addresses as a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). 4. **Add up the whole bill.** Include every task, add-on and verifier. 5. **Map your columns.** Name, phone, website, address, rating and review count exist almost everywhere; reviews text and owner fields don't. 6. **Reconnect your stack.** Rebuild Zapier or HubSpot steps, or use a native push. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best Outscraper alternative?[#](#what-is-the-best-outscraper-alternative) For local business leads, Leadraft. Businesses, website emails and a mailbox check on every email come in one plan, instead of three line items. At 50,000 businesses and 25,000 checked emails, Outscraper's chain is about $372 and Leadraft's Scale plan is $149 with 30,000 checked emails included. Other tools people compare are Apify, G Maps Extractor, Scrap.io, Lobstr.io, Octoparse and Bright Data; their prices are on this page. ### How much does Outscraper cost?[#](#how-much-does-outscraper-cost) As of October 2026, Outscraper's Google Maps scraper is free for the first 500 places, then $3 per 1,000 up to 100,000 and $1 per 1,000 after. Emails & Contacts and the email verifier are priced separately on the same tiers, with 500 and 25 free. Tiers reset every 30 days. ### Is there a free Outscraper alternative?[#](#is-there-a-free-outscraper-alternative) Several have free tiers: Leadraft gives 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month, G Maps Extractor 1,000 records a month, Bright Data 5,000 records a month, and Apify $5 of usage a month. Open-source scrapers on GitHub are free to run but need your own servers and upkeep. See [free Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/free-google-maps-scraper). ### How do Outscraper and Apify differ?[#](#how-do-outscraper-and-apify-differ) Outscraper charges fixed per-task prices, and its prepaid credits never expire. Apify charges per event, with prices that fall on higher plans, plus add-ons and polygon search. Neither includes verification of website emails in the scraper price. For local business lists, Leadraft includes email finding and verification in every plan. ### Does Outscraper verify emails?[#](#does-outscraper-verify-emails) Yes, as a separate product. Its Email Address Verifier is free for the first 25 emails, then $3 per 1,000 up to 100,000 and $1 per 1,000 after, as of October 2026. It is billed on top of places and email finding. ## Sources[#](#sources) All pages checked in October 2026; Outscraper, Apify and Scrap.io pricing re-checked November 3, 2026. 1.

November 2026. [ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Outscraper vs Apify for Google Maps leads: price, features and real costs Outscraper vs Apify for Google Maps data: price per 1,000 places, emails and verification, area search, limits and a worked 10,000-place cost. November 2026. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 10 min Category Comparison Outscraper and Apify both pull business data from Google Maps, and for a plain list of places they cost about the same. **Outscraper** is the simpler one: a fixed price per 1,000 records for each task, a free allowance every 30 days, and prepaid credits that never expire. **Apify** is the more flexible one: polygon and radius search, a lower place price on its bigger plans, and thousands of other scrapers on one account, but its costs are spread across a monthly plan and per-event add-ons. Neither verifies the business emails it finds as part of the place price. If what you're building is a list of local businesses to email, we recommend a third option, Leadraft, which includes email finding and verification in one plan; it's covered at the end. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. We make a third tool in the same space, covered fairly at the end. Prices and features come from each vendor's own pages, checked in November 2026 and linked in the Sources. Prices change, so check them before you buy._ ## What is the difference between Outscraper and Apify?[#](#what-is-the-difference-between-outscraper-and-apify) Outscraper is a data company that sells ready-made scrapers as services, priced per record. Apify is a cloud platform where independent developers and Apify itself publish "actors" (scrapers and automations) that you run on Apify's servers. That difference shapes everything else: - **On Outscraper**, "Google Maps Scraper", "Emails & Contacts Scraper" and "Email Address Verifier" are separate services, each with its own free tier and price per 1,000. You chain them. - **On Apify**, the most used Maps actor is the Google Maps Scraper by Compass (46,183 monthly users as of November 2026). One run can switch on add-ons like company contacts enrichment, reviews or business leads, and each add-on is billed per event. Your plan's discount tier decides the price of each event. ## How much do Outscraper and Apify cost per 1,000 places?[#](#how-much-do-outscraper-and-apify-cost-per-1000-places) Outscraper charges $3 per 1,000 places after the first 500, and $1 per 1,000 past 100,000. Apify's Google Maps Scraper charges between $4 and $1.50 per 1,000 places depending on your plan, and the plan itself has a monthly fee. As of November 2026: Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Outscraper | Apify Google Maps Scraper | | --- | --- | --- | | Billing model | Pay as you go, prepaid or postpaid | Monthly plan with included usage, then pay as you go | | Monthly fee | None | Free $0 · Starter $19 · Scale $199 · Business $999 | | Free allowance | 500 places every 30 days | $5 of usage a month on Free | | Places, per 1,000 | $3 (501 to 100k), then $1 | $4 Free · $3 Starter · $2 Scale · $1.50 Business | | Emails from websites, per 1,000 | $3 per 1,000 domains after 500 free, then $1 past 100k | Company contacts enrichment: $2 Free and Starter · $1.50 Scale · $1.05 Business, per 1,000 places | | Email verification, per 1,000 | Separate verifier: $3 after 25 free, then $1 past 100k | Add-on for business-leads emails only: $4 Starter · $3 Scale · $2 Business (decisive results only) | | Reviews, per 1,000 | $3 after 500 free, then $1 past 100k | $0.50 Free and Starter · $0.37 Scale · $0.26 Business | | Filters | Advanced filters listed on paid tiers, no separate price | $1 per 1,000 places per filter on Free and Starter, $0.75 on Scale | | Do unused credits carry over? | Prepaid credits never expire | No, included usage expires each cycle | A few details matter when you read that table: - **Apify's plan fee is prepaid usage.** Starter's $19 a month buys $19 of usage, so the first $19 of events cost nothing extra. Above that, you pay the overage up to a usage limit you set. Apify's pricing page says that limit is at most $100 on Starter. - **Apify's place price includes platform usage.** The actor page says you're "not charged for the Apify platform usage", only the events. - **Outscraper's tiers reset every 30 days.** The 500 free places and 500 free contacts come back each period. - **Apify's Free plan stops when the $5 is spent.** Its pricing FAQ says free accounts are blocked until the next monthly cycle. ## How do they compare on emails and verification?[#](#how-do-they-compare-on-emails-and-verification) Both find emails by visiting each business's website, and both charge for it separately from the place. Neither checks those company emails against the mail server as part of that price. **Outscraper** sells the Emails & Contacts Scraper as an enrichment you select when you run a Maps task. It adds a domain, up to three emails, social links and up to three phones from the site, about 18 extra columns. Its Email Address Verifier is a third service. The FAQ describes four checks: format, blacklists, DNS records and an SMTP request to see if the mailbox exists. The verifier's API page lists four results: RECEIVING, INVALID, BLACKLISTED or UNKNOWN. It doesn't name a separate catch-all status, which matters for local businesses because many small-business mail servers accept every address ([why that's a problem](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). **Apify** has two email layers. Company contacts enrichment visits the business website and extracts emails and social profiles, charged per place. Business leads enrichment is different: it returns named people (name, job title, work email, LinkedIn) at $5 per 1,000 leads on Starter. The email verification add-on only works on those business-leads emails. It charges for decisive results (valid, invalid, disposable) and not for catch-all, unknown or error results. So with either tool, if you want to verify the `info@` and `office@` addresses found on business websites, budget for a verifier. Our [best email verifiers](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-email-verifiers) guide compares prices per 1,000. The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. ## How do they handle area search?[#](#how-do-they-handle-area-search) Apify takes a location as text, structured fields or a GeoJSON shape. Outscraper takes locations from a list. - **Apify** accepts a free-text location, structured fields (country, state, county, city, postal code) or a custom GeoJSON shape: Polygon, MultiPolygon or Point (a circle, 5 km radius by default). Its docs say it splits a large location into subregions on its own and that searching with a location gets past the roughly 120-place limit. Searching with only a term like "restaurants in Berlin" caps you at 120. - **Outscraper's** Maps scraper page says to "select locations from the dropdown". It doesn't describe polygons, a radius, or how it handles the result cap. Of the two, only Apify describes polygon input; Leadraft offers polygon, radius and KML areas on every plan. Why the cap exists and how splitting works is covered in [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). ## What do you get in the export?[#](#what-do-you-get-in-the-export) Both export to CSV, Excel and JSON. Outscraper lists 64 default columns plus 18 from contact enrichment, and also offers Parquet. Apify's output includes the place fields, plus whatever add-ons you switched on, viewable in separate tabs (places, contacts, reviews, leads). Integrations differ in scope: - **Outscraper:** API with docs, Zapier, and a direct send to HubSpot, as listed on its scraper page. - **Apify:** API, webhooks, Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable, Google Drive, HubSpot, plus an Apify MCP server and AI-agent integrations (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and others), per its integrations docs. ## What does 10,000 Google Maps leads cost on each?[#](#what-does-10000-google-maps-leads-cost-on-each) About $66 on Outscraper and about $61 on Apify Starter, once you add a verifier to Apify. The two are close at this size. Here's the arithmetic. Assumptions (ours, for the math): 10,000 places in one month, 8,000 of them with a website, and 5,000 emails found and verified. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Step | Outscraper | Apify (Starter plan) | | --- | --- | --- | | Places | 9,500 paid × $3/1,000 = **$28.50** | 10,000 × $3/1,000 = **$30.00** | | Website emails | 7,500 paid domains × $3/1,000 = **$22.50** | 8,000 places × $2/1,000 = **$16.00** | | Verify 5,000 emails | 4,975 paid × $3/1,000 = **$14.93** | Not covered by the add-on. With Outscraper's verifier: **$14.93** | | Plan fee | $0 | $19, used up by the first $19 of events | | **Total** | **about $66** | **about $61** | On Apify, $46 of events minus the $19 included leaves $27 of overage, so the bill is $46 plus your verifier. Add one Apify filter, such as "skip closed places", and it's another $10 per 10,000 places. At 100,000 places a month the gap widens. Outscraper comes to about $687 for places, 80,000 domains and 50,000 checks. Apify needs the Scale plan, since Starter's usage limit tops out at $100. On Scale, places are $200 and contacts $120, so $320 of usage (your $199 fee plus $121 overage), plus about $150 to verify with a $3-per-1,000 verifier: around $470. Business's lower rates only pay off once your monthly usage passes its $999 fee. ## How do Outscraper and Apify differ, in short?[#](#how-do-outscraper-and-apify-differ-in-short) Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Outscraper | Apify | | --- | --- | --- | | Pricing | Fixed price per task, no monthly fee | Monthly plan plus per-event usage | | Unused money | Prepaid credits never expire | Included usage expires each cycle | | Area input | Locations from a list | Text, structured fields or GeoJSON polygon and radius | | Other data | Reviews, photos, "50+ sources" per its home page | Thousands of actors; named people through business leads enrichment | | Website emails verified in the price | No | No | ## Is there a better option for local lead lists?[#](#is-there-a-better-option-for-local-lead-lists) Yes. If what you want from either tool is a list of local businesses with emails that pass a mailbox check, we recommend Leadraft. We make it, so weigh that, but the arithmetic is below. Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside a city, county, postcode, radius, drawn polygon or KML file, finds emails on each business's own website, and checks each against the live mail server. Catch-all servers get their own Accept-all grade, "a maybe, never a yes", and Invalid emails are never exported. For the 10,000-business example above, the Growth plan at $49 a month covers 100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails, and you're charged only for Verified emails you take out. Businesses outside your area or trade are shown free, you're charged once per business ever, and unused credits roll over while your plan is active. Against the 10,000-place example, that's $49 on Leadraft against about $66 on Outscraper and about $61 on Apify Starter, with verification included and nothing to stitch together. Leadraft is built for local business lists with checked emails; it doesn't pull review text or photos, named owner or employee data, or other kinds of web data. Side-by-side detail is in [Leadraft vs Outscraper](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper) and [Leadraft vs Apify](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify), and you can model your own list in the [lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator). One more thing applies to all three tools: Google's Maps terms restrict scraping and building mailing lists from Maps content. Business facts, personal data and contract terms are separate questions, so read [is scraping Google Maps legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) and get legal advice for your use. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Is Outscraper cheaper than Apify for Google Maps?[#](#is-outscraper-cheaper-than-apify-for-google-maps) Per place it depends on your Apify plan. As of November 2026, Outscraper charges $3 per 1,000 places after 500 free (then $1 per 1,000 past 100,000). Apify's Google Maps Scraper charges $4 per 1,000 on Free, $3 on Starter, $2 on Scale and $1.50 on Business, on top of the plan fee. For 10,000 places with website contacts, the two land within a few dollars of each other. ### Which is easier to use, Outscraper or Apify?[#](#which-is-easier-to-use-outscraper-or-apify) Outscraper is form-based: pick a service, fill a form, pay per record. Apify is a platform of thousands of actors with many input options to set. Both have an API. If what you want is a local business list with checked emails, Leadraft takes a trade and a place, or a drawn area, and does the email finding and checking for you. ### Can Outscraper or Apify get more than 120 results from Google Maps?[#](#can-outscraper-or-apify-get-more-than-120-results-from-google-maps) Apify's Google Maps Scraper says it bypasses the roughly 120-place limit when you give it a location, because it splits the area into many map searches. Outscraper's scraper page doesn't describe how it handles the limit, so test it on a dense search in your own market. ### Do Outscraper and Apify verify emails?[#](#do-outscraper-and-apify-verify-emails) Outscraper sells a separate Email Address Verifier at $3 per 1,000 after 25 free. Apify's Maps scraper has an email verification add-on, but it only checks emails from its business-leads (people) enrichment, not the company emails found on websites. Neither includes verification in the place price. ### Do Outscraper or Apify credits expire?[#](#do-outscraper-or-apify-credits-expire) Outscraper says prepaid credits never expire; its free tiers reset every 30 days. Apify's included monthly usage expires at the end of each billing cycle and doesn't roll over.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # PhantomBuster Google Maps alternatives Alternatives to PhantomBuster's Google Maps phantom, compared on the 120-result cap, emails, verification and price, with October 2026 prices. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Comparison The best PhantomBuster alternative for Google Maps is Leadraft (we make it). It's built for Maps first: you give it a trade and an area, and it returns **every business inside the area with emails checked against the mailbox** in one run, with no 120-result cap and no phantom chain to maintain. Below are PhantomBuster's plans, why people move their Maps work, and how Apify, Outscraper, G Maps Extractor, Lobstr.io and Octoparse compare on the same points. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Prices and features come from each vendor's own pages, checked in October 2026 and linked in the Sources. Last checked: November 3, 2026, when we re-read PhantomBuster's plan details._ ## What does PhantomBuster's Google Maps phantom do?[#](#what-does-phantombusters-google-maps-phantom-do) The Google Maps Search Export phantom takes Google Maps search URLs and exports the results to CSV or JSON: place URL, title and 16 more fields, including phone, website and hours. It runs in the cloud, skips duplicates between searches, and can be chained with other phantoms. It's one of many automations on a platform best known for LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. ## How much does PhantomBuster cost?[#](#how-much-does-phantombuster-cost) PhantomBuster bills by plan, and each plan is a bundle of execution hours, slots and credits, not a number of businesses. These are its plans as stated in PhantomBuster's own pricing explainer (as of July 2026) and matching its pricing page in October 2026. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly (per month) | Execution time | Slots | Email credits | AI credits | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | $0 | 30 minutes a month | 1 | None | None | | Start | $69 | $56 | 20 hours a month | 5 | 500 | 10,000 | | Grow | $159 | $128 | 80 hours a month | 15 | 2,500 | 30,000 | | Scale | $439 | $352 | 300 hours a month | 50 | 10,000 | 90,000 | The 14-day trial needs no card and includes 2 hours of run time, with downloads capped at 10 rows; the ongoing Free plan also caps exports at 10 rows. **What's a slot?** Each phantom you keep set up uses a slot. A Maps workflow uses at least two (the Maps export and the website crawler for emails), more if you add a verifier or a CRM step. **How many hours does a Maps list take?** It depends on how many searches you run and how fast each launch goes, and PhantomBuster doesn't publish a businesses-per-hour figure. We haven't timed one, so we won't guess. Run a test launch on the trial and read the execution time it used. ## Why do people look for PhantomBuster alternatives for Google Maps?[#](#why-do-people-look-for-phantombuster-alternatives-for-google-maps) The reasons are mostly about the Maps phantom's design, stated on PhantomBuster's own pages, plus some account-level themes from reviews. - **About 120 results per search.** The phantom's page says "you won't be able to access any more than this." Covering a city means building many granular searches yourself. - **Emails are a second step.** The Maps phantom doesn't collect emails; a separate Data Scraping Crawler phantom visits each site. - **No verification described.** Neither page describes checking emails against the mail server. - **Results move with the server.** PhantomBuster says its servers are worldwide, so "your results may vary from launch to launch", and recommends a proxy near your location. - **Billing by execution time.** Plans are sold in hours and slots, which is hard to translate into "how much for 5,000 businesses". - **Reviews are mixed.** Trustpilot shows 3.4 from 114 reviews as of October 2026. Critical reviews mention refunds, slow support and slot limits; positive ones praise easy onboarding and cloud automation. ## How do the PhantomBuster alternatives compare for Google Maps?[#](#how-do-the-phantombuster-alternatives-compare-for-google-maps) Here's the comparison at a glance, as of October 2026. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Entry price | Past ~120 per search | Emails | Verification | Area search | Billing unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **PhantomBuster** | $69/mo | No, about 120 per search | Second phantom | Not described | Search URLs | Execution hours + slots | | Leadraft | $0 / $19/mo | Yes (tiling) | Included | Included, catch-all graded | Polygon, radius, KML, every plan | Businesses + checked emails | | Apify | $0 + usage | Yes | Add-on, $2 per 1,000 places on Free | People-lead emails only | Polygon, radius | Per event | | Outscraper | Pay as you go | Not stated | $3 per 1,000 domains | Separate, $3 per 1,000 | Location dropdown | Per task | | G Maps Extractor | $0 / $19/mo | Not stated | Included | Not described for business emails | Keyword + place | Records | | Lobstr.io | $0 / $20/mo | One search per ZIP | +1 credit if found | Verify Emails option | 50 km geo match | Credits per result | | Octoparse | $0 + template fees | Yes (advanced template) | $0.50 per 1,000 lines | Not described | Not described | Lines + plan | ## What does it take to cover a city with a 120-result cap?[#](#what-does-it-take-to-cover-a-city-with-a-120-result-cap) You have to split the city yourself. Suppose a metro has around 1,000 dentists, a made-up figure for the arithmetic. At 120 results per search, that's at least 9 searches if each returned a perfectly distinct set, and in practice many more, because neighboring searches overlap and dense areas fill up first. Then each business with a website goes through a second phantom for emails, and then a verifier. Tools that split the area for you remove that work. In one measured Leadraft run, Portland coffee shops, tiled search found 457 businesses against 230 from a single search. That's one city and one keyword, so read it as an illustration of how much a single search misses ([coverage methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/coverage)). For the background, see [why Google Maps stops at 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit). ## The phantom chain vs one step[#](#the-phantom-chain-vs-one-step) On PhantomBuster, a Maps list with checked emails is a chain you build and maintain: 1. **Google Maps Search Export** phantom: one launch per search URL, about 120 results each. 2. **Merge and dedupe** the exports across searches. 3. **Data Scraping Crawler** phantom (or another enrichment step): visit each website for emails. 4. **A verifier**, outside PhantomBuster, to check each email against the mail server. 5. **Filter** to your area and trade, then export or push to your CRM. Tools built for Maps fold those steps into one run: The six steps behind a list you can send to. Skipping any one of them shows up later as missed businesses, wasted credits or bounces. In Leadraft that's one run: the area is split into tiles, results are deduplicated and filtered to your area and trade, and emails are found and checked before you export. There are no joins to build between steps. ## The alternatives, one by one[#](#the-alternatives-one-by-one) ### 1\. Leadraft: area in, checked emails out[#](#1-leadraft-area-in-checked-emails-out) Give Leadraft a trade and a city, county or postcode, or draw the area, and it returns the businesses inside it with emails from each business's own website, checked against the mail server. Plans run from Free (500 businesses, 50 checked emails a month, no card) to Scale at $149 (600,000 businesses, 30,000 checked emails), and unused credits roll over. Runs happen on our servers, so you can close the tab. It does Google Maps only: no LinkedIn. See [Leadraft vs PhantomBuster](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-phantombuster). ### 2\. Apify Google Maps Scraper: the automation platform for Maps[#](#2-apify-google-maps-scraper-the-automation-platform-for-maps) Apify is an automation platform with a chain-the-steps model similar to PhantomBuster's. Its Google Maps Scraper claims to bypass the 120-place limit, supports polygons, and charges per event ($4 per 1,000 places on Free, $1.50 on Business) plus add-ons. See [Apify alternatives](https://leadraft.co/blog/apify-google-maps-scraper-alternatives). ### 3\. Outscraper: pay per task[#](#3-outscraper-pay-per-task) $3 per 1,000 places after 500 free, $3 per 1,000 domains for emails and contacts, and a separate verifier. Prepaid credits never expire. Zapier and HubSpot integrations. See [Leadraft vs Outscraper](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper). ### 4\. G Maps Extractor: quick lists in the browser[#](#4-g-maps-extractor-quick-lists-in-the-browser) Free for 1,000 records a month, then $19 to $149 for 20,000 to 500,000. A Chrome and Edge extension can extract saved place lists. Emails aren't described as verified. See [Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor). ### 5\. Lobstr.io: ZIP-by-ZIP coverage[#](#5-lobstrio-zip-by-zip-coverage) One search per ZIP code with dedupe, one credit per result, one more for emails when found. Starter is $20 for 10,000 credits. Make, Google Sheets, a REST API and an MCP server. ### 6\. Octoparse: visual scraping[#](#6-octoparse-visual-scraping) The advanced Google Maps template ($2 per 1,000 lines) says it can exceed the 120-result limit by splitting the map, and an Email Finder template costs $0.50 per 1,000 lines. Octoparse is a general scraping tool with templates for many sites besides Maps. ## Is it legal to scrape Google Maps with PhantomBuster or an alternative?[#](#is-it-legal-to-scrape-google-maps-with-phantombuster-or-an-alternative) The same rules apply whichever tool you use. Google's Maps terms prohibit mass downloading Maps content and using it to build mailing or telemarketing lists, so it's a contract question first. Public business facts, personal data (such as a named owner's email) and the rules for your outreach (CAN-SPAM in the US, GDPR and PECR in Europe and the UK) are separate questions. Every tool here leaves the use of the data to you. Read [is scraping Google Maps legal?](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) and get legal advice for your situation. ## Where does Leadraft fit, and what doesn't it do?[#](#where-does-leadraft-fit-and-what-doesnt-it-do) Leadraft is built for one job: complete local business lists from Google Maps with checked emails. Compared with the phantom chain above: - **Whole areas, not search URLs.** City, county, ZIP, polygon, radius or KML on every plan, searched in tiles past the cap of about 120 per search. - **Emails and checking included.** Emails come from each business's own website and are checked against the mail server, graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid. No crawler phantom and no outside verifier. - **Priced in businesses, not hours.** You pay once per business, and businesses outside your area or trade aren't charged. 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails fit in the Growth plan at $49 a month, against $69 a month for PhantomBuster's Start plan before any verifier. - **Runs on our servers.** Close the tab and the run keeps going; unused credits roll over while your plan is active. What Leadraft doesn't do: LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Instagram or X automation. It's Google Maps only. ## How do you move your Maps work off PhantomBuster?[#](#how-do-you-move-your-maps-work-off-phantombuster) 1. **Collect your Maps search URLs.** Note the trade and place each one covers. 2. **Turn them into one area.** Instead of many URLs, define the city, county or shape they were approximating. 3. **Run the area in the new tool.** Compare unique businesses inside the area with what your phantom runs returned. 4. **Compare checked emails.** Count addresses that pass a mailbox check. Treat catch-all as a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). 5. **Rewire the output.** Point your CRM or sequencer at the new tool's export, webhook or native push. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best PhantomBuster alternative for Google Maps?[#](#what-is-the-best-phantombuster-alternative-for-google-maps) For Google Maps lists, Leadraft: you name or draw an area and it returns every business of the trade inside it, with emails from each business's own website checked against the mail server, in one run. There's no 120-result cap to work around and no second phantom for emails. Other tools compared here are Apify (a developer platform), Outscraper (pay per task), G Maps Extractor (records plus a Chrome extension), Lobstr.io (pay per result) and Octoparse (visual scraping). ### How many results does PhantomBuster's Google Maps phantom return?[#](#how-many-results-does-phantombusters-google-maps-phantom-return) Its Google Maps Search Export page says Google Maps shows about 120 results per search and that you won't get more than that. To cover more, it suggests running several more granular searches within the wider area. ### How much does PhantomBuster cost?[#](#how-much-does-phantombuster-cost-1) As of October 2026, billed monthly: Start $69 (20 hours of execution time, 5 slots, 500 email credits), Grow $159 (80 hours, 15 slots) and Scale $439 (300 hours, 50 slots). Annual billing is about 20% less. The trial includes 2 hours of execution time with exports limited to 10 rows. ### Does PhantomBuster find emails from Google Maps?[#](#does-phantombuster-find-emails-from-google-maps) Not in the Maps phantom itself. PhantomBuster suggests chaining it with its Data Scraping Crawler phantom, which visits each website and collects emails, phones and social links. ### Does Leadraft do LinkedIn like PhantomBuster?[#](#does-leadraft-do-linkedin-like-phantombuster) No. Leadraft does Google Maps only. It's built for local business lists: a whole area searched in one run, with emails found on each business's own website and checked against the mail server. If you also build lists from LinkedIn, you can merge them with your Leadraft list by company website. ## Sources[#](#sources) All pages checked in October 2026. 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # Scrap.io alternatives Scrap.io alternatives compared on price, area search, email verification and credit rules, with Scrap.io's monthly and yearly prices and where Leadraft fits. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published October 31, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Comparison The best Scrap.io alternative for local business lists is Leadraft (we make it). Scrap.io prices territory by plan, with polygons only at $499 a month billed monthly; Leadraft puts **polygon, radius, county and KML search on every plan**, includes **checked emails**, charges **once per business**, and **rolls unused credits over**. Below are Scrap.io's plans by territory, what its users say, and how Outscraper, Apify, G Maps Extractor, Lobstr.io, D7 Lead Finder and Bright Data compare. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Prices and features come from each vendor's own pages, checked in October 2026 and linked in the Sources. Last checked: November 3, 2026, when we re-read Scrap.io's pricing page. Its Monthly/Yearly toggle shows two price sets, and some pages quote only the yearly one ($35 to $350), so both are shown here._ ## Why do people look for Scrap.io alternatives?[#](#why-do-people-look-for-scrapio-alternatives) Mostly because of how plans gate geography and credits. Scrap.io is well reviewed, 4.5 on Trustpilot from 78 reviews as of October 2026, and reviewers praise its speed, local data and value. The reasons to compare come from its own pricing page and a handful of reviews. - **Territory is the upsell.** Basic ($49 monthly, $35 yearly) searches by city only. County-level (level 2) search starts on Professional ($99 / $69), state-level on Agency ($199 / $139), whole countries and polygons on Company ($499 / $350). - **Credits reset monthly.** "Credits do not carry over from month to month." - **Places are recounted.** "Each place is counted only once in a 30-days period", so the same place can use a credit again the next month. - **Verification isn't described.** Email is a field and a filter; checking the mailbox isn't mentioned on the pricing page. - **Coverage by country.** A few reviewers report thin results in specific countries, such as Germany and Ireland. Test your own market. - **Refunds.** One 2025 reviewer described a refused refund for a plan difference. ## What does your territory cost on Scrap.io?[#](#what-does-your-territory-cost-on-scrapio) The plan you need depends on the shape of your territory, not only on volume. Here's what each Scrap.io plan unlocks, as of November 2026, next to Leadraft. Scroll horizontally if needed → | You sell into… | Scrap.io plan needed | Billed monthly | Billed yearly (per month) | Leadraft | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | One city | Basic | $49 (10,000 credits) | $35 | Any plan, from Free | | A county | Professional (level 2 division) | $99 (20,000 credits) | $69 | Any plan | | A 50 km radius | Professional | $99 | $69 | Any plan | | A whole state | Agency (level 1 division) | $199 (40,000 credits) | $139 | Any plan | | A hand-drawn sales territory | Company (polygon) | $499 (100,000 credits) | $350 | Any plan, including KML upload | | A whole country | Company | $499 | $350 | Any plan | Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. So a small agency selling into one county with 8,000 businesses would need Professional on Scrap.io ($99 a month, or $69 a month on a yearly plan), plus a separate email verifier. On Leadraft, Starter ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails) or Growth ($49, 100,000 and 5,000) covers it, depending on how many emails come back Verified. ## What do Scrap.io users say?[#](#what-do-scrapio-users-say) Mostly good things. On Trustpilot, Scrap.io scored 4.5 from 78 reviews as of October 2026. Reviewers praise its speed, the local data and value for money. The critical reviews are a minority and cluster around three themes: thin results in some countries (Germany and Ireland come up), the credit reset each month, and one 2025 refund dispute over a plan difference. Read the most recent reviews first, since the product and its plans have changed over time. ## How do the Scrap.io alternatives compare?[#](#how-do-the-scrapio-alternatives-compare) Here's the comparison at a glance, as of October 2026 (Scrap.io re-checked November 3, 2026). Scroll horizontally if needed → | Tool | Pricing model | Price per 1,000 records | Polygon / radius | Verification | Unused credit | Free tier | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Scrap.io** | Monthly or yearly plan | about $4.90 to $4.99 monthly, about $3.50 yearly | Radius from $99, polygon at $499 (monthly prices) | Not described | Doesn't carry over | 7 days, 100 leads | | Leadraft | Monthly plan | $0.25 to $0.76 | Every plan, plus KML | Included, catch-all graded | Rolls over | 500 businesses + 50 checked emails/mo | | Outscraper | Pay as you go | $3, $1 over 100k | Not described | Separate, $3 per 1,000 | Prepaid never expires | 500 places per 30 days | | Apify | Usage + add-ons | $4 to $1.50 | Polygon, radius | People-lead emails only | Doesn't roll over | $5 of usage/mo | | G Maps Extractor | Monthly plan | about $0.95 to $0.30 | Not described | Not described for business emails | Not stated | 1,000 records/mo | | Lobstr.io | Monthly credits | $2 to $1 | Per ZIP, 50 km geo match | Verify Emails option | Doesn't roll over | 100 results/mo | | D7 Lead Finder | Monthly plan | Billed by daily searches | Not described | Not described | Daily searches | 5 searches/day, no export | | Bright Data | Pay as you go | $1.50, $1.30 on Scale | Not described | Not described | n/a | 5,000 records/mo | ## The alternatives, one by one[#](#the-alternatives-one-by-one) ### 1\. Leadraft: any territory, every plan[#](#1-leadraft-any-territory-every-plan) Leadraft searches a city, county or postcode, a polygon, a radius or a KML file on every plan, Free included. It finds emails on each business's own website and checks each one against the mail server. Businesses outside your area are labeled, shown free and never exported.

See [Leadraft vs Scrap.io](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-scrap-io). ### 2\. Outscraper: pay as you go[#](#2-outscraper-pay-as-you-go) $3 per 1,000 places (first 500 free, $1 per 1,000 over 100,000), the same for emails and contacts, and a separate verifier at the same rate after 25 free. Prepaid credits never expire. It also sells review and photo data. See [Outscraper alternatives](https://leadraft.co/blog/outscraper-alternatives). ### 3\. Apify Google Maps Scraper: custom geometry[#](#3-apify-google-maps-scraper-custom-geometry) Polygon, MultiPolygon and radius search on any plan, at $4 per 1,000 places on Free down to $1.50 on Business, plus add-ons for website contacts and more. It's flexible but takes setup. See [Leadraft vs Apify](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-apify). ### 4\. G Maps Extractor: records plus a browser extension[#](#4-g-maps-extractor-records-plus-a-browser-extension) From Free (1,000 records a month) to $149 for 500,000 records, about $0.30 per 1,000. A Chrome and Edge extension and an MCP server. Location goes in the keyword ("coffee shop in Portland"), and emails aren't described as verified. See [Leadraft vs G Maps Extractor](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-gmaps-extractor). ### 5\. Lobstr.io: ZIP-by-ZIP coverage[#](#5-lobstrio-zip-by-zip-coverage) Lobstr's Google Maps Leads Scraper runs one search per ZIP code and dedupes, and a geo-match option drops listings outside a 50 km radius without billing them. One credit per result, one more for emails when found. Starter is $20 for 10,000 credits. ### 6\. D7 Lead Finder: signals on each lead[#](#6-d7-lead-finder-signals-on-each-lead) Up to 1,200 leads per search, with pixel, ad, email-provider and website checks on each lead. Starter is $44.99 a month for 10 daily searches, as shown at checkout for a US customer. Billed by searches, not credits. See [D7 Lead Finder alternatives](https://leadraft.co/blog/d7-lead-finder-alternatives). ### 7\. Bright Data: raw data at scale[#](#7-bright-data-raw-data-at-scale) 5,000 records a month free, then $1.50 per 1,000, or a ready-made Google Maps dataset. Enrichment and verification are left to you. ## Where does Leadraft fit, and what doesn't it do?[#](#where-does-leadraft-fit-and-what-doesnt-it-do) Leadraft is built for local business lists from Google Maps with checked emails, priced so the shape of your territory doesn't change the plan you need: - **Any territory on any plan.** City, county, postcode, polygon, radius or KML upload, from Free up. A county or a hand-drawn sales territory costs the same per business as a city. - **Checked emails included.** Emails come from each business's own website and are checked against the mail server, graded Verified, Accept-all or Invalid. No separate verifier. - **Pay once per business, ever.** Businesses outside your area are labeled, shown free and never exported, and a business you've paid for isn't charged again next month. - **Credits roll over** while your plan is active. For the county example above, 8,000 businesses fit in Starter ($19, 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails) or Growth ($49, 100,000 and 5,000), against $99 a month for Scrap.io Professional plus a verifier. What Leadraft doesn't do: it covers Google Maps only, not Apple Maps or Bing Maps. ## How do you switch from Scrap.io?[#](#how-do-you-switch-from-scrapio) 1. **Write down your real territory.** The county, region or shape you actually sell into. 2. **Run it on a free tier.** Same trade, same territory. 3. **Count in-area businesses and checked emails.** Treat catch-all as a maybe ([why](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained)). 4. **Price next month too.** What does a re-run cost, and does unused credit carry over? 5. **Reconnect your outputs.** CSV, a native push, a webhook or the API. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best Scrap.io alternative?[#](#what-is-the-best-scrapio-alternative) For local business lists, Leadraft: polygon, radius, county and KML search on every plan, Free included, with emails checked against the mail server and unused credits that roll over. A county of 8,000 businesses fits in Starter ($19) or Growth ($49). Other tools compared here are Outscraper (pay as you go), Apify (a developer platform), G Maps Extractor (records plus a browser extension), Lobstr.io (pay per result), D7 Lead Finder (searches per day) and Bright Data (raw records). ### How much does Scrap.io cost?[#](#how-much-does-scrapio-cost) As of November 2026, billed monthly: Basic $49 for 10,000 export credits, Professional $99 for 20,000, Agency $199 for 40,000 and Company $499 for 100,000. Yearly billing is $35, $69, $139 and $350 a month. Credits reset monthly and don't carry over. ### Can you draw a polygon in Scrap.io?[#](#can-you-draw-a-polygon-in-scrapio) Yes, on the Company plan ($499 a month billed monthly, or $350 a month billed yearly), which allows polygons up to 1,000,000 km². Radius search starts on Professional (50 km), and Basic searches by city only, as of November 2026. ### Does Scrap.io verify emails?[#](#does-scrapio-verify-emails) Its pricing page and homepage list email as a field and a filter but don't describe verifying addresses against the mail server, as of October 2026. Plan to run exports through a verifier before sending. Our [verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) explains what a mailbox check does. ### Is there a free Scrap.io alternative?[#](#is-there-a-free-scrapio-alternative) Leadraft's free plan gives 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month with polygon search, no card. G Maps Extractor gives 1,000 records a month and Bright Data 5,000 records a month. Scrap.io itself offers a 7-day trial for up to 100 leads. ### Why do some pages say Scrap.io starts at $35 and others at $49?[#](#why-do-some-pages-say-scrapio-starts-at-35-and-others-at-49) Both are right. Scrap.io's pricing page has a Monthly/Yearly toggle: Basic is $49 billed monthly or $35 a month billed yearly, and the other plans are $99 or $69, $199 or $139, and $499 or $350, as of November 2026.

The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 7 min Category Comparison For most local lead lists, Google Maps is the better source than Yelp. It covers more kinds of businesses (trades, offices, medical, B2B services, not just consumer favorites), nearly every listing has a phone and category, and many link a website. Yelp is worth adding for restaurants, bars and consumer services, where its reviews say something Maps doesn't. Neither one shows email addresses, and both restrict scraping in their terms: Yelp's Terms of Service ban automated access outright, and its paid API forbids using the data for direct marketing. Below: how the two compare field by field, what each one's terms actually say, and when Yelp adds value. ## How do Yelp and Google Maps compare for leads?[#](#how-do-yelp-and-google-maps-compare-for-leads) Here's the side-by-side. Prices and terms are as of November 2026, from each company's own pages. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | Google Maps | Yelp | | --- | --- | --- | | Kinds of business | Almost everything with a location or service area: trades, retail, offices, medical, B2B | Strongest in restaurants, nightlife, home and local services, beauty | | Typical fields on a listing | Name, category, address, phone, website, hours, rating, reviews | Name, categories, address, phone, website link, hours, rating, reviews, price range | | Email address | No | No | | Results per search (consumer app) | Stops at roughly 120 per search | Paginated results | | Official API | Google Places API, priced per request | Yelp Places API: $229 to $643 a month plus per-call fees \[1\] | | API results per query | Up to 60 for Text Search \[7\] | Up to 240 for Business Search, 50 per page \[2\] | | Scraping in the terms | Prohibited for Maps Platform content \[3\] | Prohibited in the Terms of Service \[4\] | | Using API data for marketing | Restricted (no caching, no building listings) | Forbidden: no direct marketing, no listing databases, 24-hour storage cap \[5\] | | Scale it publishes | Not used here | 330 million cumulative reviews (as of Dec 31, 2025); 510,000 paying advertising locations \[6\] | The point that matters most for cold outreach is the email row. Neither platform gives you one. Both send you to the business's own website, which is where a published address like `info@` lives. Our guide on [whether Google Maps shows emails](https://leadraft.co/blog/does-google-maps-show-emails) explains where the email actually comes from. ## Which has better coverage of local businesses?[#](#which-has-better-coverage-of-local-businesses) Google Maps, for most trades. A business appears on Google Maps once it has a Google Business Profile or Google has listed it, and most businesses that serve customers in person or in an area have one, because that's how they show up in Google search. Yelp listings are common for restaurants and consumer services, and thinner for trades, offices and B2B. Test it in your own market rather than trusting anyone's totals, including ours. Pick one trade and one city, then: 1. Search the trade on Google Maps and note 20 businesses. 2. Search the same trade and city on Yelp and note 20. 3. Check how many of Yelp's 20 appear on Maps, and the reverse. 4. For each, note whether there's a phone and a website. The source that finds more of the other's businesses, with more websites, is the better primary source for that trade. For plumbers in most US cities you'll likely see Maps ahead; for cocktail bars the gap is smaller. ## What do the terms say about scraping Yelp?[#](#what-do-the-terms-say-about-scraping-yelp) Yelp's Terms of Service, effective January 1, 2026, list prohibited uses in section 7.2. Among them, users may not \[4\]: > Use any robot, spider, Service search/retrieval application, or other automated device, process or means to access, retrieve, copy, scrape, or index any portion of the Service or any Service Content, except as expressly permitted by Yelp (for example, as described at [www.yelp.com/robots.txt](http://www.yelp.com/robots.txt)) The same list also bars accessing or indexing the Service "for purposes of constructing or populating a searchable database of business reviews", and using the Service for commercial purposes except through a Yelp business account. Yelp's paid API doesn't open the door for lead lists either. The Yelp API Terms (updated September 22, 2026) say you may not store any portion of Yelp Content "for a period longer than twenty-four (24) hours", may not use it to "update or create your own database of business listing information", and may not use it in connection with "direct marketing and/or telemarketing activities" \[5\]. That rules out the obvious lead-gen uses. That's why the "Yelp scraper" tools that sell email lists are working against Yelp's terms, and why any email they return came from somewhere other than Yelp. ## What do Google's terms say?[#](#what-do-googles-terms-say) Google restricts it too. The Google Maps Platform Terms of Service (section 3.2.3) say the customer "will not export, extract, or otherwise scrape Google Maps Content for use outside the Services", and give as examples bulk downloading places information and copying and saving business names, addresses or user reviews \[3\]. Google's consumer Maps terms also bar creating bulk feeds or using Maps to build a business listings database. So both platforms restrict list-building in their terms. The honest summary for both: - **Business listing data is mostly public business information** (a company name, a business phone, a shop address). - **Terms of service are contracts.** Breaking them is a contract and access question, separate from privacy law. - **Named people are personal data.** An owner's name or personal email is regulated differently from `info@`, especially in the UK, EU and Canada. Our article on [whether scraping Google Maps is legal](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) goes through the distinctions. None of this is legal advice; if you're building lists at scale, talk to a lawyer. ## When does Yelp add value to a lead list?[#](#when-does-yelp-add-value-to-a-lead-list) Yelp earns its place in a few specific cases: - **Restaurants, bars and cafes.** Yelp's review base is deep here, and review text often says what a business is missing (slow online ordering, no reservations, a dated menu) better than a star rating does. - **Checking a business is active.** A recent Yelp review is one more sign the business is still open. - **Ad-buyer signal.** Yelp reports 510,000 paying advertising locations \[6\]. A business with a Yelp ad presence is spending on marketing, which matters if you sell marketing. - **Personalizing outreach.** Reading the Yelp page by hand before you write is fair use of the platform as a consumer, and it gives you a line nobody else has. Use Yelp by hand for research on a short list, not as the list itself. ## What's the best way to combine them?[#](#whats-the-best-way-to-combine-them) Build the list from Google Maps and each business's website, then use Yelp for research on the businesses you'll actually contact. 1. **List every business in the area** from Google Maps, searched in pieces so you get past the ~120-result cap (see [why Maps stops at about 120 results](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit)). 2. **Get emails from each business's own website**, and verify them before sending. 3. **Shortlist** by category, rating, reviews and whether there's a website. 4. **Open the Yelp page by hand** for your shortlist when reviews matter to your pitch. Leadraft is built for steps 1 and 2: every business of a trade inside the area you choose, with emails from each business's own site checked against the live mail server, charged once per business. For 10,000 businesses with up to 5,000 checked emails, the Growth plan is $49 a month (100,000 businesses and 5,000 checked emails). See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing). For more sources beyond these two (Yellow Pages, BBB, state filings, data vendors, Apple Maps and Bing), see [the best data sources for local business leads](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-data-sources-for-local-business-leads). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Is Yelp or Google Maps better for finding business leads?[#](#is-yelp-or-google-maps-better-for-finding-business-leads) For most local lead lists, Google Maps is the better starting point: it covers more kinds of businesses, nearly every listing has a phone number and category, and many have a website. Yelp is useful as a second source for restaurants, nightlife and consumer services, where its reviews add context. Neither shows email addresses. ### Can you scrape Yelp?[#](#can-you-scrape-yelp) Yelp's Terms of Service prohibit it. Section 7.2 bars using any robot, spider or other automated means to access, retrieve, copy, scrape or index any portion of the Service, except as Yelp expressly permits. Yelp's paid Places API is the permitted route, and its own terms forbid storing content beyond 24 hours, building a business listing database or using it for direct marketing. ### Does Yelp show business email addresses?[#](#does-yelp-show-business-email-addresses) Generally no. Yelp business pages show a phone number, address, hours and website link, and Yelp's Places API business data has no email field. To get an email you go to the business's own website, the same as with Google Maps. ### How much does the Yelp API cost?[#](#how-much-does-the-yelp-api-cost) As of November 2026, Yelp's Places API has three monthly plans: Base at $229 a month plus $5.91 per extra 1,000 calls, Enhanced at $299 plus $6.57, and Premium at $643 plus $14.13. Each includes a 30-day trial with 5,000 free calls. A business email is required to sign up. ### Is it legal to build a lead list from Google Maps?[#](#is-it-legal-to-build-a-lead-list-from-google-maps) Google's terms restrict it. The Google Maps Platform terms prohibit scraping or exporting Google Maps Content for use outside the services, including copying business names and addresses. Business listing data is mostly public business information, but terms of service are contracts, and personal data laws apply to named people.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # ZeroBounce vs NeverBounce vs MillionVerifier: price, catch-all handling and API compared ZeroBounce, NeverBounce and MillionVerifier compared on price per 1,000, catch-all handling, API and free credits, as of November 2026, and when you don't need a separate verifier at all. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 9 min Category Comparison **MillionVerifier** is the cheapest of the three by a wide margin: $149 for 100,000 credits that never expire, with catch-all resolution included. **ZeroBounce** costs the most ($649 for 100,000) and describes the most catch-all handling, plus a finder, inbox tests and monitoring in its subscription. **NeverBounce** sits between them on price, with 80+ integrations and a monthly Growth plan that syncs with your CRM.

Scroll horizontally if needed → | | ZeroBounce | NeverBounce | MillionVerifier | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 10,000 emails (one-time) | $129 ($12.90 per 1,000) | $50 ($5.00 per 1,000) | $39 ($3.90 per 1,000) | | 100,000 emails (one-time) | $649 ($6.49 per 1,000) | $400 ($4.00 per 1,000) | $149 ($1.49 per 1,000) | | 1,000,000 emails (one-time) | $3,199 | $2,500 | $449 | | Minimum purchase | 2,000 for $39 | 1,000 for $8 | 10,000 for $39 | | Subscription | ZeroBounce ONE, $99/mo (10,000 validations + 10,000 finder credits) | Growth, $49/mo for 10,000 up to $999/mo for 1,000,000 | None; one-time credits only | | Free credits | 100 a month (business domain) | Free test credits and list analysis (number not stated) | 100 at sign-up, no card | | Credit expiry | Never, while on ZeroBounce ONE | 12 months after purchase | Never | | Unknown results | Not charged | Not stated on the pricing page | Not charged | | Catch-all results | Not exempted on the pricing page | Not stated on the pricing page | Not charged if unresolved | | Catch-all work | Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and gateways; Verify+; 0 to 10 activity score | None described publicly | Says it resolves 30% to 40% | | API | Validation API with SDKs | v4 API, single check with timeout | Single API v3 and Bulk API v2 | | Owner | ZeroBounce | ZoomInfo | MillionVerifier (Southern Vector Limited, New Zealand) | ## How much does each one cost for a real list?[#](#how-much-does-each-one-cost-for-a-real-list) For lists of 10,000 to 25,000 emails, MillionVerifier costs a quarter to a third of ZeroBounce, and NeverBounce a little under half. Here's the arithmetic at three sizes, using one-time prices. Scroll horizontally if needed → | List size | ZeroBounce | NeverBounce | MillionVerifier | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5,000 emails | $69 (5,000 pack) | $40 | $39 (10,000 pack is the minimum) | | 25,000 emails | $274 | $125 | $59 | | 100,000 emails | $649 | $400 (or $159 on Growth for one month) | $149 | Subscriptions change the picture for steady volume: - **NeverBounce Growth** at 100,000 emails a month is $159, about $1.59 per 1,000, close to MillionVerifier's one-time price. It adds automatic CRM syncing, AI scoring and free duplicates. - **ZeroBounce ONE** at $99 a month ($948 a year) includes 10,000 validations and 10,000 email finder credits, plus 100 inbox tests, 10 blacklist monitors and 250 warm-up seeds. That bundle only adds value if you would use those other tools. ZeroBounce says the subscription can save up to 18% a month depending on volume, and gives members a discount on extra credits. - **MillionVerifier** has no subscription, but its credits never expire, so buying a large pack once works like one. Two cost details matter more than the headline price: 1. **Expiry.** NeverBounce's pay-as-you-go credits expire 12 months after purchase. If you buy a big pack to get the lower rate and verify slowly, some of it may lapse. 2. **What's billed.** MillionVerifier doesn't charge for unknown results or for catch-alls it can't resolve. ZeroBounce's pricing page exempts unknowns but not catch-alls. NeverBounce's public pricing page doesn't say. On a list that's heavy with catch-alls, this can matter more than the per-1,000 rate. ## How does each one handle catch-all emails?[#](#how-does-each-one-handle-catch-all-emails) This is the biggest real difference between the three. A catch-all server accepts every address at its domain, so the normal mailbox check can't confirm the one you want. Each vendor does something different next. A verifier does the first half of a delivery and stops before anything is sent. Accept-all (catch-all) servers say yes to every address, so they get their own grade: a maybe, never a yes. **ZeroBounce** does the most. Its catch-all page says standard validation tries to resolve catch-all addresses hosted on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and major secure email gateways, without a separate service. It reports that, for Microsoft 365, monthly catch-all results "dropped from roughly six million to fewer than 1,000." Verify+ runs more checks on eligible addresses that stay unresolved. Email Scoring then gives the remaining catch-alls a score from 0 to 10, based on activity data. ZeroBounce also returns some addresses on vetted accept-all domains as `valid` with an `accept_all` sub-status, and keeps `catch-all` for domains it can't vouch for. Its own wording is careful: some catch-alls "may still remain unresolved, so no validation method should be treated as a guarantee." **MillionVerifier** includes catch-all resolution in its standard credit. It says its engine resolves 30% to 40% of catch-all addresses into Valid or Invalid, puts them straight into the normal download columns, and labels the rest Risky. It doesn't charge for unresolved catch-alls. It also offers a full refund on any email it "can't verify with certainty." **NeverBounce** returns a `catchall` result, which its API reference describes as "a domain wide-setting, also known as Accept-all (Unverifiable)." We found no public description of extra catch-all resolution. What this means in practice: on a list of small-business domains, the three may return different numbers of definite answers. Whether those answers hold up only shows when you send. If you sell to local businesses, read [why catch-all emails are common](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) before you decide, and treat any address that stays catch-all as a maybe, never a yes. ## How do their APIs and integrations compare?[#](#how-do-their-apis-and-integrations-compare) All three have a real-time API. NeverBounce lists the most integrations, ZeroBounce bundles the most extra tools, and MillionVerifier documents a separate bulk API. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | ZeroBounce | NeverBounce | MillionVerifier | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Real-time API | Yes, with SDK wrappers for popular languages | Yes, `/check` with a timeout setting | Yes, Single API v3 (timeout 2 to 60 seconds) | | Bulk by API | Not covered here | Not described in the public reference | Bulk API v2: upload, status, download, stop, delete | | Result detail | Status plus sub-status (for example `accept_all`, `mailbox_not_found`, `role_based_accept_all`) | valid, invalid, disposable, catchall, unknown | ok, catch\_all, invalid, disposable, unknown | | Integrations | Zapier plus an integrations directory; MCP server listed under use cases | 80+ integrations, including Zapier, n8n, HubSpot and Mailchimp | 15 email platforms listed, including Mailchimp, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign and Brevo | | Automatic re-cleaning | Part of ZeroBounce ONE tools | Growth plan syncs with your CRM | EverClean re-verifies connected email platforms weekly | If you send from Instantly, Smartlead or lemlist, check the current integration list for each tool before you buy. Many people simply upload a CSV, verify it and download the result, which works with all three. ## What sets each one apart?[#](#what-sets-each-one-apart) Each of the three is built around a different idea. These are facts from their own pages, not a ranking. Scroll horizontally if needed → | | What it's built around | | --- | --- | | ZeroBounce | Catch-all resolution for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and gateways, an activity score, and a subscription that bundles a finder, inbox tests and blacklist monitoring | | NeverBounce | Integrations (80+, including Zapier and n8n) and a monthly Growth plan that syncs with your CRM | | MillionVerifier | One-time credits that never expire, with catch-all resolution included and no charge for unresolved catch-alls | Our [best email verifiers](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-email-verifiers) guide lays out more standalone verifiers the same way. ## How do you test them fairly?[#](#how-do-you-test-them-fairly) Use your own list, not a vendor's demo. Each of the three gives free credits, enough for a fair test. 1. Take 100 real addresses from the list you plan to send to. Keep catch-alls, `info@` addresses and webmail in. 2. Run the same file through all three. ZeroBounce and MillionVerifier each give 100 free; ask NeverBounce for test credits. 3. Compare Valid, Invalid, Catch-all (or Risky) and Unknown counts side by side. 4. Where the tools disagree, send a small test batch from a warmed-up domain and watch bounces for 48 hours. 5. Price each tool at your real monthly volume, including expiry and what it charges for catch-alls. For what each check actually does under the hood, see [how email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works). ## Do you need a separate verifier if you build the list in Leadraft?[#](#do-you-need-a-separate-verifier-if-you-build-the-list-in-leadraft) No. A standalone verifier cleans a list after someone else built it. If the tool that builds the list checks each address against the mail server and keeps catch-alls apart, a second pass mostly confirms what you already know, and you pay twice. Leadraft works that way for local businesses. It finds businesses on Google Maps, reads emails from each business's own website, and checks every address against the live mail server as it finds it. Each one comes back **Verified**, **Accept-all** or **Invalid**, and Invalid is never exported. You use a checked-email credit only for Verified emails you take out. See [our verification method](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification). What Leadraft doesn't do: it doesn't clean lists you upload. If you already have a list from somewhere else, that's a different job, and the tables above have the facts on the three verifiers. ## What should you use for a local business list?[#](#what-should-you-use-for-a-local-business-list) Build it in Leadraft. Finding the businesses, finding their emails and checking each mailbox happen in one step, so you never buy verification credits on top of a list. On Growth, $49 a month covers up to 5,000 Verified emails, with the check already done; Starter is $19 a month for 1,000. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active, and Accept-all and Invalid results never use a credit. For comparison, verifying 5,000 emails you got elsewhere costs $39 to $69 on its own at the prices above, before you've paid for the list. ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### Which is cheapest: ZeroBounce, NeverBounce or MillionVerifier?[#](#which-is-cheapest-zerobounce-neverbounce-or-millionverifier) MillionVerifier. As of November 2026 it lists $39 for 10,000 credits and $149 for 100,000. NeverBounce is $50 and $400 pay as you go, or $159 a month for 100,000 on its Growth plan. ZeroBounce is $129 and $649 pay as you go. ### How do ZeroBounce, NeverBounce and MillionVerifier handle catch-all emails?[#](#how-do-zerobounce-neverbounce-and-millionverifier-handle-catch-all-emails) ZeroBounce and MillionVerifier both try to resolve catch-alls; NeverBounce returns them as catchall, which it calls accept-all (unverifiable). ZeroBounce describes specific handling for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and major security gateways, plus a 0 to 10 activity score. MillionVerifier says it resolves 30% to 40% at no extra cost and doesn't charge for the rest. Test both on your own list. ### Do ZeroBounce, NeverBounce and MillionVerifier credits expire?[#](#do-zerobounce-neverbounce-and-millionverifier-credits-expire) MillionVerifier credits never expire. NeverBounce pay-as-you-go credits expire 12 months after purchase. ZeroBounce credits never expire while you have an active ZeroBounce ONE subscription; without one, expiry rules may apply depending on when credits were bought. ### What is the main difference between ZeroBounce and NeverBounce?[#](#what-is-the-main-difference-between-zerobounce-and-neverbounce) Catch-all handling, bundled tools and price. ZeroBounce describes extra catch-all resolution and bundles a finder, inbox tests and blacklist monitoring into its subscription. NeverBounce returns catch-alls as accept-all (unverifiable), costs less per 1,000, and lists 80+ integrations, including Zapier and n8n, with CRM syncing on its Growth plan. ### What free trials do ZeroBounce, NeverBounce and MillionVerifier offer?[#](#what-free-trials-do-zerobounce-neverbounce-and-millionverifier-offer) ZeroBounce gives 100 free validations every month with a business domain. MillionVerifier gives 100 free credits at sign-up with no card. NeverBounce offers free test credits and a free list analysis, but its pricing page doesn't state a number. ### Do I need a separate email verifier if I build my list in Leadraft?[#](#do-i-need-a-separate-email-verifier-if-i-build-my-list-in-leadraft) No. Leadraft checks every email against the live mail server as it finds it, grades it Verified, Accept-all or Invalid, and never exports Invalid. The check is included in the checked-email credit, so there is no second tool or second bill. ## Sources[#](#sources) All pages checked as of November 2026. 1.

[ All articles](https://leadraft.co/blog) # ZoomInfo alternatives for small-business prospecting: cost and SMB coverage ZoomInfo alternatives for prospecting small businesses: Leadraft, Apollo, Lusha, UpLead, Cognism, Salesgenie and Google Maps tools, compared on public prices. The Leadraft teamLeadraft Published November 3, 2026 Updated November 3, 2026 Read time 8 min Category Comparison If you prospect **small local businesses** (contractors, clinics, salons, shops), the ZoomInfo alternative we recommend is **Leadraft**. It builds the list from Google Maps, where those businesses list themselves, and includes checked emails from each business's own website, at public prices from $19 a month (we make Leadraft, so weigh that). People databases such as **Apollo, Lusha and UpLead** start at about $50 a month and charge per contact revealed. **Salesgenie** sells small-business firmographics. Prices and what each plan buys are in the tables below. _Disclosure: Leadraft wrote this. Prices come from each vendor's own pages, checked in November 2026 and linked in the Sources. ZoomInfo doesn't publish prices, so we don't quote any._ ## Why do small businesses look for ZoomInfo alternatives?[#](#why-do-small-businesses-look-for-zoominfo-alternatives) Mostly cost and fit. ZoomInfo doesn't publish prices: its pricing page puts every package behind "Get Pricing" or a demo, and says the price depends on the "Number of licenses". It lists no small-business or self-serve tier. For a two-person agency or a solo founder, a sales conversation and a quote is a lot of friction before seeing any data. The second reason is fit. ZoomInfo says it has "500M+ contacts and 100M+ companies", built for selling to organizations with departments and decision-makers. By its own count it lists 135M+ verified phone numbers and 200M+ verified business emails, plus intent and engagement signals. If your market is the plumber down the road, that depth isn't where the value is. ZoomInfo offers a free trial on its sales packages. ## Do contact databases cover small businesses?[#](#do-contact-databases-cover-small-businesses) They cover the company more often than the people. A company profile can be built from registrations, websites and directories. A contact record needs a person with a public professional footprint and an email address the vendor can find or infer. Owner-operated businesses often break that chain: - **No staff pages.** The website lists services and a phone number, not people. - **No professional profiles.** Many trade owners aren't on LinkedIn, or are listed under a different company name. - **Free-provider email.** The owner reads a Gmail or Yahoo address, so there's no corporate pattern to apply. - **Frequent change.** Small businesses open, close, rebrand and change hands often, so compiled records go stale. So the question for any database, ZoomInfo included, isn't "does it have small businesses?" but "does it have a working email for the person who decides, at the businesses I sell to?". Test that on 50 of your own prospects. ## How do the ZoomInfo alternatives compare?[#](#how-do-the-zoominfo-alternatives-compare) Here are the public prices as of November 2026. The units differ: people databases charge per contact revealed; Maps tools charge per business found.

The table uses each vendor's plan closest to $100, billed monthly, as of November 2026.

If you email local businesses, Leadraft Pro gives you 15,000 checked emails for $99, with the 300,000 businesses included and the mailbox check already done. Draw the area you sell into. Businesses inside it count; the ones a search drags in from outside are labeled and never charged. ## The alternatives, one by one[#](#the-alternatives-one-by-one) ### Leadraft: local businesses from Google Maps[#](#leadraft-local-businesses-from-google-maps) Leadraft finds every business of a trade inside an area you choose (city, county, ZIP code, drawn polygon, radius or KML file), reads each business's website for up to 5 emails, and checks each against the mail server. Grades are Verified, Accept-all and Invalid; invalid emails never export. You pay once per business, ever, and businesses outside your area or trade are shown free. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. It has no employee counts, revenue or owner names. See [pricing](https://leadraft.co/pricing) and [how emails are found](https://leadraft.co/product/emails). ### Apollo: a people database with sequences[#](#apollo-a-people-database-with-sequences) Apollo has a free plan, Basic at $49 and Professional at $99 a month, and custom plans. It claims "240M+ contacts and 30M+ accounts". Credits are pooled across the team and don't roll over. Its builders page says its agent can use Google Maps to find local businesses when the database lacks a match. See [Apollo alternatives for local businesses](https://leadraft.co/blog/apollo-alternatives-local-businesses) if your prospects are small shops. ### Lusha: per-contact credits and direct dials[#](#lusha-per-contact-credits-and-direct-dials) Lusha's Starter is $49.90 a month for 400 credits ($37.45 billed yearly), Professional $69.90 for 600 and Premium $399.90 for 3,400. A verified email costs 1 credit and a phone number 5. Unused credits on monthly plans roll over up to twice the plan's limit. ### UpLead: per-contact credits[#](#uplead-per-contact-credits) UpLead's Essentials is $99 a month ($74 billed yearly) for 170 credits, and Plus $199 ($149 yearly) for 400. A credit unlocks one contact with email and mobile. UpLead says it verifies emails with "a data accuracy rate of 95%", which is its own claim. Extra credits cost $0.60 on Essentials. ### Cognism: another quote-based option[#](#cognism-another-quote-based-option) Cognism doesn't publish prices either. Its Standard and Pro packages each include 5 seats, and "1 credit = 1 revealed contact". If you're leaving ZoomInfo because of the quote process, Cognism has the same one. ### Salesgenie: small-business firmographics[#](#salesgenie-small-business-firmographics) Salesgenie, from Data Axle, starts at $99 a month on Basic, with Pro at $149 and Team at $299 with 5 users. Its business lists can be filtered by city, county, state, ZIP code, number of employees, annual revenue, SIC/NAICS, years in business and ownership type. Exports and emails use credits you add on, and the subscription runs 12 months. See [Leadraft vs Data Axle](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-data-axle). ### Hunter and Snov.io: email finders for known domains[#](#hunter-and-snovio-email-finders-for-known-domains) Hunter (Starter $49 for 2,000 credits) and Snov.io (Starter $39 for 1,000 credits) find emails at company domains you already have. For small local businesses a domain search returns little, for the reasons above; see [Hunter.io alternatives](https://leadraft.co/blog/hunter-io-alternatives). ## What does Leadraft do for each kind of buyer?[#](#what-does-leadraft-do-for-each-kind-of-buyer) Start from who you sell to. Scroll horizontally if needed → | Your buyers | What Leadraft does | | --- | --- | | Small local businesses by trade and territory | Finds every one inside your city, county, ZIP code or drawn area, with checked emails | | Businesses you'll email at scale | Checks every email against the mail server; Invalid never exports, so there's no separate verifier to buy | | Businesses you'll call | Includes the phone number from each Google Maps listing | | Named people with job titles at larger companies | Not what Leadraft does: it returns business emails, not named employees | | Small businesses filtered by employee count, revenue or SIC/NAICS | Not what Leadraft does: it searches by trade and place | Then test with 50 real prospects from your market on the free tier, and count working emails, not records. ## What should a small business use to prospect local businesses?[#](#what-should-a-small-business-use-to-prospect-local-businesses) Leadraft. ZoomInfo needs a quote and a sales call; Leadraft's prices are public and start at $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails, with a Free plan of 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month and no card. It finds the businesses where they actually list themselves, checks every email, fences results to your area, and charges once per business, ever. Unused credits roll over while your plan is active. For a deeper comparison of bought data and lists you build, see [local business databases compared](https://leadraft.co/blog/local-business-database) and [should you buy a business email list?](https://leadraft.co/blog/buy-business-email-list). ## FAQ[#](#faq) ### What is the best ZoomInfo alternative for small businesses?[#](#what-is-the-best-zoominfo-alternative-for-small-businesses) For prospecting small local businesses such as contractors, clinics and shops, Leadraft (we make it). It builds the list from Google Maps, where those businesses list themselves, finds emails on each business's own website and checks every one. Prices are public and self-serve: Starter is $19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails, and Pro is $99 for 300,000 businesses and 15,000 checked emails. ### How much does ZoomInfo cost?[#](#how-much-does-zoominfo-cost) ZoomInfo doesn't publish prices. As of November 2026, its pricing page lists packages (Professional, Copilot Advanced, Copilot Enterprise for sales) behind a "Get Pricing" form, says pricing depends on the number of licenses, and offers a free trial on the sales packages. You need a quote. ### Is there a free alternative to ZoomInfo?[#](#is-there-a-free-alternative-to-zoominfo) Several have free tiers, as of November 2026: Apollo has a free plan, Lusha gives 40 credits a month, Hunter 50 credits a month, UpLead a 7-day trial with 5 credits, and Leadraft 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month. Many public libraries also offer Data Axle Reference Solutions for research. ### Does ZoomInfo cover small businesses?[#](#does-zoominfo-cover-small-businesses) ZoomInfo says it has 100M+ companies, so many small businesses have a profile. What's thinner for very small businesses is the people data: owner-operators rarely have the professional profiles and corporate email patterns that contact databases are built from. Check a sample of your own market before you sign. ### Should a small business buy a contact database at all?[#](#should-a-small-business-buy-a-contact-database-at-all) Only if your buyers are people with job titles at companies big enough to have them. If your buyers are small local businesses, build the list from where those businesses list themselves (Google Maps and their own websites) and verify every email before sending.

Glossary · Lead generation · Last updated October 31, 2026 # B2B lead generation B2B lead generation is finding businesses that might buy your product or service, and starting conversations with the people who decide. **Also called:** Business-to-business lead generation. B2B lead generation has two halves: finding the right businesses (list building, enrichment, qualification) and getting their attention (cold email, calls, ads, content, referrals). Most problems start in the first half. The data sources differ by market. For larger companies, sellers use databases of employees and job titles. For local businesses, which rarely appear in those databases with useful contacts, the better source is Google Maps and each business's own website: almost every local business has a listing, and many publish an email. Local B2B has its own traits. Decision-makers are often owners who read the shared inbox. Markets are geographically bounded, so you can count them and know when you've covered one. And the same offer usually works across towns in the same trade, which makes repeatable playbooks possible. Whatever the channel, the law applies to B2B outreach too: CAN-SPAM in the US covers business email, and the UK, EU, Canada and Australia all have rules of their own. ## Example A payments company targets restaurants in three Texas metros. It builds a list from Google Maps, filters to independents with a website, verifies emails, and runs cold email plus field visits. ## Sources 1. 1.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) ## Related terms - [Local lead generationLocal lead generation is finding and contacting businesses in a specific place, such as every dentist in a county, usually starting from Google Maps.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/local-lead-generation) - [Cold emailCold email is a one-to-one business email to someone you have no prior relationship with, sent to start a conversation about a specific offer.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/cold-email) - [Lead listA lead list is a set of businesses or people you plan to contact, with the fields needed to qualify them and reach them, such as email and phone.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-list) - [Ideal customer profileAn ideal customer profile (ICP) describes the kind of business that gets the most value from your offer and is most likely to buy it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/ideal-customer-profile) - [Lead scoringLead scoring is ranking leads by how likely they are to buy, using points for fit and behavior, so you contact the best ones first.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-scoring) ## Further reading - [Google Maps lead generation](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) - [Leadraft for local sales](https://leadraft.co/solutions/local-sales) - [Cold email laws for B2B](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) ## Every business on the map.

Definition and examples · Leadraft URL: https://leadraft.co/glossary/bounce-rate Summary: Bounce rate is the percentage of sent emails that were returned as undeliverable; for cold email, under 2% is a sensible target. Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Bounce rate Bounce rate is the percentage of sent emails that were returned as undeliverable; for cold email, under 2% is a sensible target. **Also called:** Email bounce rate. Bounce rate is bounces divided by emails sent. Tools count differently: Amazon SES calculates its bounce rate from hard bounces only, while some sequencers include soft bounces, so compare like with like. Mailbox providers like Gmail and Yahoo don't publish a bounce-rate limit. They publish a spam complaint threshold (Google: stay below 0.1% and never reach 0.3%) and expect you to stop sending to addresses that bounce. Google says to automatically unsubscribe recipients with multiple bounced messages. Bounce thresholds come from sending tools and email services. Instantly auto-pauses a campaign above 5% once it has sent at least 200 emails. Amazon SES advises staying below 5% and may pause an account at 10%. Woodpecker's default auto-pause is 2%. A rate between 2% and 5% isn't safe; it's where reputation erodes before anything stops you. In local lead generation, high bounce rates nearly always come from the list: pattern-guessed addresses, unverified or stale data, closed businesses, and catch-all domains mixed in with verified ones. The fix is verification shortly before sending, separate segments for catch-all addresses, and removing every hard bounce at once. ## Example A campaign to 2,000 businesses gets 62 bounces: 62 ÷ 2,000 = 3.1%. Splitting the results shows the verified segment bounced at about 1% and the catch-all segment far higher, so the catch-all batch is paused and the verified one continues. ## Sources 1. 1.[Amazon SES, Reputation metrics messages (bounce, complaint and spamtrap notices)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/reputationdashboardmessages.html) 2. 2.[Instantly, High bounce auto-pause feature](https://help.instantly.ai/en/articles/9823139-high-bounce-auto-pause-feature) 3. 3.[Google, Email sender guidelines](https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126) 4. 4.[Google, Email sender guidelines FAQ](https://support.google.com/a/answer/14229414) ## Related terms - [Hard bounceA hard bounce is a permanent delivery failure, such as an address that doesn't exist, returned with an SMTP reply code starting with 5.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/hard-bounce) - [Soft bounceA soft bounce is a temporary delivery failure, such as a full mailbox or busy server, returned with an SMTP reply code starting with 4.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/soft-bounce) - [Sender reputationSender reputation is the trust mailbox providers place in your sending domain and IP, built from complaints, bounces, authentication and engagement.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/sender-reputation) - [Email verificationEmail verification is checking whether an address can receive mail, using syntax, MX and SMTP tests, without sending a message to it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-verification) - [Email deliverabilityEmail deliverability is the ability of your emails to reach recipients' inboxes rather than bouncing or landing in spam.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-deliverability) ## Further reading - [What's a good cold email bounce rate?](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) - [Catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) - [Leadraft for cold email](https://leadraft.co/solutions/cold-email) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Compliance · Last updated October 31, 2026 # CAN-SPAM Act The CAN-SPAM Act is the US law for commercial email; it allows cold email without consent but requires honest headers, an address and a working opt-out. **Also called:** CAN-SPAM, Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003. CAN-SPAM is an opt-out law: you can send commercial email without prior consent, but every message must follow the FTC's rules. Don't use false or misleading headers or deceptive subject lines; identify ads as ads; include a valid physical postal address; tell people how to opt out; and honor opt-outs within 10 business days. The opt-out has to keep working for at least 30 days after you send. The FTC is explicit that the law "makes no exception for business-to-business email," so B2B cold email to local businesses is fully covered. You also can't hand the responsibility to someone else: both the company being promoted and the company sending the email can be held responsible. Penalties are per email. The FTC states each separate violating email is subject to penalties of up to $53,088, the inflation-adjusted figure in effect since January 17, 2025. There was no 2026 increase, because the 2026 federal penalty inflation adjustment was cancelled. CAN-SPAM only covers the US. If your list includes Canada, the UK, the EU or Australia, stricter rules apply to those recipients. ## Example An agency's cold email to Phoenix roofers includes the sender's real name, an honest subject, the agency's registered P.O. box, and "Reply 'no' and I won't email again."

Glossary · Compliance · Last updated October 31, 2026 # CASL CASL is Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation, which requires consent before most commercial emails, including implied consent for published business addresses. **Also called:** Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation, Canadian anti-spam law. CASL is an opt-in law: you need consent to send a commercial electronic message to a recipient in Canada. Consent can be express or implied. The route that matters for B2B cold email is implied consent by conspicuous publication, in section 10(9)(b). It applies when the person has conspicuously published their address (or had it published), the publication doesn't say they don't want unsolicited commercial messages, and your message is relevant to their business role. The CRTC says this is a higher standard than an address simply being available online, is judged case by case, and that the sender must prove consent. Every message must identify the sender, include contact details, and contain an unsubscribe mechanism valid for at least 60 days. Unsubscribes must be honored without delay and within 10 business days. The CRTC lists maximum administrative monetary penalties of C$1 million per violation for individuals and C$10 million for businesses. For local lead lists, keep a record of where and when each address was published, and make sure your offer fits the recipient's trade. ## Example A Toronto plumbing company lists `office@` on its contact page with no "no solicitations" notice. An email offering plumbing-specific scheduling software, with sender details and an unsubscribe link, can rely on implied consent. An unrelated offer couldn't. ## Sources 1. 1.[Justice Laws Website, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (sections 10 and 11)](https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/E-1.6/page-2.html) 2. 2.[CRTC, CASL guidance on implied consent](https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/com500/guide.htm) 3. 3.[CRTC, Frequently Asked Questions about CASL](https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/com500/faq500.htm) ## Related terms - [CAN-SPAM ActThe CAN-SPAM Act is the US law for commercial email; it allows cold email without consent but requires honest headers, an address and a working opt-out.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/can-spam) - [GDPR legitimate interestGDPR legitimate interest is a lawful basis for processing personal data without consent, which can cover B2B direct marketing after a balancing test.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/gdpr-legitimate-interest) - [Suppression listA suppression list is a list of addresses or domains you must never email again, such as opt-outs, hard bounces and complaints, checked before every send.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/suppression-list) - [Cold emailCold email is a one-to-one business email to someone you have no prior relationship with, sent to start a conversation about a specific offer.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/cold-email) ## Further reading - [Cold email laws for B2B](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) ## Every business on the map.

Definition and examples · Leadraft URL: https://leadraft.co/glossary/catch-all-email Summary: A catch-all email is an address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for any address, so a verifier can't confirm the mailbox really exists. Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Catch-all email A catch-all email is an address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for any address, so a verifier can't confirm the mailbox really exists. **Also called:** Accept-all email, Catch-all domain, Accept-all domain. A catch-all (or accept-all) domain is set up to accept mail for every address at that domain, whether or not a mailbox by that name exists. `owner@`, `info@` and `x7q2@` all get the same `250` accepted reply during the SMTP conversation defined in RFC 5321. Verifiers detect it by asking the server about an address that can't possibly exist, such as a long random string. If the server accepts that too, its yes about the real address carries no information. The honest grade is unconfirmed: **a maybe, never a yes**. Catch-all setups are common among small and local businesses, because routing every address to one inbox is the simplest way to make sure no customer email is lost. That means a list of plumbers, dentists or salons from Google Maps will usually contain a real share of catch-all domains. The risks of sending to them are late bounces (the server accepts, then bounces after its own checks), mail that lands in an inbox nobody reads, and abandoned domains that keep accepting everything. The practical rule: prefer addresses the business published on its own website over pattern guesses, send catch-all addresses as a separate, smaller segment after your verified ones, and stop if that segment bounces noticeably more. The most common mistake is a verifier or list vendor counting catch-all addresses as valid. It makes the valid rate look high and your bounce rate pays for it. ## Example A verifier checks `office@smithplumbing.com` and gets `250`. It then checks `zq81kd03@smithplumbing.com` and also gets `250`. The domain accepts everything, so the address is graded catch-all rather than valid, even though it may well be the owner's main inbox. ## In Leadraft Catch-all is its own grade, **Accept-all**.

Cold email differs from spam in targeting and intent: a relevant message to a business that plausibly needs what you offer, from a real person, with an easy way to say no. Done well, it's one of the cheapest ways to reach local businesses, because almost all of them publish an email or have one findable on their website. Three things decide results. The list: the right businesses, verified addresses, catch-all kept separate. The setup: a separate sending domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, warmed up, with low daily volume per mailbox. The message: short, specific to the business, honest in the subject line, with one clear question. The law varies by country. In the US, CAN-SPAM allows cold email without consent if you include a postal address and a working opt-out. Canada (CASL) and Australia (Spam Act) require consent, which can be implied by a conspicuously published business address. The UK allows emails to companies but not sole traders without consent. Common mistakes: sending to unverified lists, fake personalization, follow-ups that never stop, and no suppression list. ## Example "Hi Maria, I saw Bayside Dental has 31 reviews and a 4.9 rating, but no online booking on the site.

Glossary · Lead generation · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Data decay Data decay is the steady loss of accuracy in a lead list as people change jobs, businesses close or move, and email addresses stop working. **Also called:** List decay, Contact data decay, Data degradation. Every list starts going stale the day it's built. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported median tenure with a current employer of 4.1 years in January 2026, and 3.0 years for workers aged 25 to 34, so named contacts move on regularly. Businesses close too: BLS found that of private-sector establishments born in March 2013, the survival rate fell 20.4 percentage points in the first year, and 34.7% were still operating ten years later. For local business lists, closures, moves and domain changes matter more than job changes, because the address you want is often a shared inbox. Listings change as well: Google says Place IDs can become obsolete when a business closes or moves, and recommends refreshing ones older than 12 months. Decay shows up as bounces, wrong phone numbers and messages to businesses that no longer exist. It's also why old bought lists are risky: abandoned addresses can turn into spam traps. The fixes are simple: record when each field was collected and checked, re-verify emails before a send if the last check is more than about a month old, and rebuild lists from the source rather than patching them once they're more than a year old. ## Example A list of 1,000 contractors built two years ago is re-verified. Dozens of domains no longer have mail servers, and a few hundred more addresses need checking again. Rebuilding from Google Maps also finds businesses that opened since. ## In Leadraft Each email carries its check date (`verified_at`), and each business its first-seen and last-seen dates.

Glossary · Technical · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Deduplication Deduplication is finding and merging records that describe the same business or person, so each appears once in a list. **Also called:** Dedupe, De-duplication, Record matching. Duplicates creep in whenever a list is built from several searches, sources or time periods. When you search an area tile by tile with many keywords, the same business turns up again and again: under "plumber," "drain cleaning" and "water heater repair," and in every tile that touches it. The best dedupe key is a stable identifier. For Google Maps data that's the Place ID: two rows with the same Place ID are the same listing, whatever their names look like. Without one, you're matching names, addresses, phones and domains, which breaks on "LLC" suffixes, suite numbers and typos. Decide what counts as one business. Multi-location companies have one listing per location, which is usually right for local outreach but not if you're selling to head office. Practitioners sometimes have their own listings alongside their practice. Several businesses can share one website domain. Dedupe across time too. Merge new lists against everything you've already contacted and your suppression list, or you'll email the same people twice. ## Example A tiled search for three keywords across 200 tiles returns 5,400 rows.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # DKIM DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a cryptographic signature added to email so receivers can verify which domain sent it and that it wasn't altered. **Also called:** DomainKeys Identified Mail. DKIM is defined in RFC 6376. The sending server signs selected headers and the body with a private key and adds a `DKIM-Signature` header. The receiver fetches the matching public key from DNS, at `selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com`, and checks the signature. A passing DKIM signature proves the message was signed by the domain in its `d=` tag and that the signed parts weren't changed in transit. Unlike SPF, it survives forwarding, which makes it the more reliable of the two for DMARC alignment. Google requires bulk senders to Gmail to set up DKIM as well as SPF, Yahoo requires both for bulk senders, and Outlook.com requires high-volume senders to pass DKIM. Most mailbox providers and sending tools give you the DNS record to publish; the step people skip is making sure the signing domain matches the From domain. For cold email, enable DKIM on every sending domain and mailbox before warm-up, and check a real message's headers for `dkim=pass` with your own domain rather than the provider's default. ## Example A received message shows `dkim=pass header.d=getacmeagency.com`. The signature matches the From domain, so it can satisfy DMARC alignment. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 6376: DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Signatures](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6376) 2. 2.[Google, Email sender guidelines](https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126) 3. 3.[Yahoo, Sender best practices](https://senders.yahooinc.com/best-practices/) 4. 4.[Microsoft, Outlook.com Postmaster policies](https://substrate.office.com/ip-domain-management-snds/postmaster/Policies) ## Related terms - [SPFSPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that lists which servers are allowed to send email for a domain, so receivers can spot forgeries.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/spf) - [DMARCDMARC is a DNS policy that tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM alignment for your domain, and where to send reports.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/dmarc) - [Email deliverabilityEmail deliverability is the ability of your emails to reach recipients' inboxes rather than bouncing or landing in spam.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-deliverability) - [Email warm-upEmail warm-up is gradually increasing the volume sent from a new domain or mailbox so mailbox providers learn to trust it before full campaigns.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-warm-up) ## Further reading - [Cold-email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # DMARC DMARC is a DNS policy that tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM alignment for your domain, and where to send reports. **Also called:** Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance. DMARC builds on SPF and DKIM. It checks that at least one of them passes \*and\* aligns with the domain in the visible From address. A domain publishes a TXT record at `_dmarc.yourdomain.com`, such as `v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:reports@yourdomain.com`, where `p` is the policy: `none` (monitor), `quarantine` or `reject`. The original specification was RFC 7489. In 2026 the IETF published RFC 9989, a standards-track version that obsoletes it, with reporting split into companion documents. Records still start `v=DMARC1`. Google requires bulk senders to Gmail to publish DMARC, and says the policy can be `none`. Yahoo requires a valid DMARC policy of at least `p=none` that passes. Outlook.com requires `p=none` or stricter, aligned with SPF or DKIM, for domains sending more than 5,000 emails a day. For cold email, publish at least `p=none` on each sending domain and read the aggregate reports for a few weeks. They show every server sending as your domain, which catches forgotten tools before you tighten the policy. ## Example An agency publishes `v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@getacmeagency.com`. Reports show its sequencer is passing DKIM but not SPF alignment, which is fine for DMARC because one aligned pass is enough. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 9989: Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9989) 2. 2.[Google, Email sender guidelines](https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126) 3. 3.[Yahoo, Sender best practices](https://senders.yahooinc.com/best-practices/) 4. 4.[Microsoft, Outlook.com Postmaster policies](https://substrate.office.com/ip-domain-management-snds/postmaster/Policies) ## Related terms - [SPFSPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that lists which servers are allowed to send email for a domain, so receivers can spot forgeries.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/spf) - [DKIMDKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a cryptographic signature added to email so receivers can verify which domain sent it and that it wasn't altered.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/dkim) - [Email deliverabilityEmail deliverability is the ability of your emails to reach recipients' inboxes rather than bouncing or landing in spam.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-deliverability) - [Sender reputationSender reputation is the trust mailbox providers place in your sending domain and IP, built from complaints, bounces, authentication and engagement.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/sender-reputation) ## Further reading - [Cold-email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Email deliverability Email deliverability is the ability of your emails to reach recipients' inboxes rather than bouncing or landing in spam. **Also called:** Inbox placement, Deliverability. Deliverability has two layers. Delivery is whether the receiving server accepts the message at all; bounces are the failures. Inbox placement is where an accepted message ends up: inbox, promotions, or spam. Most dashboards only show the first. Mailbox providers decide placement from your sender reputation, authentication, list quality and how recipients respond. Their published requirements set the floor: Google and Yahoo require bulk senders to authenticate with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, keep spam complaints below 0.3%, and support one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058). Outlook.com requires SPF, DKIM and DMARC for domains sending more than 5,000 emails a day. For cold email to local businesses, deliverability is mostly decided before you hit send: a separate, authenticated, warmed-up domain; a list of verified addresses with catch-all kept separate; small daily volumes per mailbox; and messages relevant enough that people don't report them. Common mistakes are judging deliverability by open rates (privacy features make them unreliable), sending everything from one mailbox, and treating a bounce problem as a copywriting problem. ## Example Two agencies send the same message. One uses a verified list from a warmed, authenticated domain and gets replies; the other uses a bought list from a new domain, bounces at 9%, and its later mail lands in spam. ## Sources 1. 1.[Google, Email sender guidelines](https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126) 2. 2.[Yahoo, Sender best practices](https://senders.yahooinc.com/best-practices/) 3. 3.[Microsoft, Outlook.com Postmaster policies](https://substrate.office.com/ip-domain-management-snds/postmaster/Policies) 4. 4.[IETF, RFC 8058: Signaling One-Click Functionality for List Email Headers](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8058) ## Related terms - [Sender reputationSender reputation is the trust mailbox providers place in your sending domain and IP, built from complaints, bounces, authentication and engagement.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/sender-reputation) - [Bounce rateBounce rate is the percentage of sent emails that were returned as undeliverable; for cold email, under 2% is a sensible target.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/bounce-rate) - [SPFSPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that lists which servers are allowed to send email for a domain, so receivers can spot forgeries.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/spf) - [DKIMDKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a cryptographic signature added to email so receivers can verify which domain sent it and that it wasn't altered.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/dkim) - [DMARCDMARC is a DNS policy that tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM alignment for your domain, and where to send reports.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/dmarc) ## Further reading - [What's a good cold email bounce rate?](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) - [How email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) - [Leadraft for cold email](https://leadraft.co/solutions/cold-email) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Lead generation · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Email finder An email finder is a tool that finds email addresses for a business or person, from websites, databases or pattern guesses, usually with verification. **Also called:** Email lookup tool, Email search tool. Email finders work in three main ways. Some crawl websites and pull published addresses. Some look addresses up in a database collected earlier. Some guess from name patterns and verify the guesses. Many combine all three. The method matters more than the brand. A published address on the business's own site comes with evidence: the page it was on. A database entry may be years old. A guess may be wrong, and on catch-all domains it can't be checked at all. Good finders show the source and the verification grade for every address. For local businesses, the website is usually the best source. Google Maps listings rarely include an email, but most businesses link a website, and contact pages, footers and about pages often carry an address. Some sites only show content after JavaScript runs, and some have only a contact form, so expect a share of businesses with no findable email. When comparing finders, ask what share of results are verified versus catch-all, how fresh the checks are, and whether you're charged for addresses that turn out invalid. ## Example A finder visits a roofer's website, finds `info@` in the footer and `mike@` on the about page, records both pages as sources, and verifies them: `info@` verified, `mike@` catch-all. ## In Leadraft Leadraft reads each business's own website (pages, sitemap, and a real browser for JavaScript-heavy sites), keeps up to 5 emails per business with role and source, and verifies every one. ## Sources 1. 1.[Leadraft, Verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) ## Related terms - [Email permutationAn email permutation is a guessed address built from a name and domain using common patterns, such as first@, first.last@ or flast@.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-permutation) - [Email verificationEmail verification is checking whether an address can receive mail, using syntax, MX and SMTP tests, without sending a message to it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-verification) - [Role-based emailA role-based email is an address for a function rather than a person, such as info@, office@ or sales@, often read by several people.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/role-based-email) - [Lead enrichmentLead enrichment is adding missing data to a lead, such as emails, social links, categories or ratings, so it can be qualified and contacted.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-enrichment) ## Further reading - [Does Google Maps show emails?](https://leadraft.co/blog/does-google-maps-show-emails) - [Emails in Leadraft](https://leadraft.co/product/emails) - [Free email permutator](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-permutator) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Email permutation An email permutation is a guessed address built from a name and domain using common patterns, such as first@, first.last@ or flast@. **Also called:** Email pattern guessing, Email permutator. Given a person's name and a company domain, a permutator lists the likely formats: `jane@`, `jane.smith@`, `jsmith@`, `janes@`, `smith@` and so on. You then verify each to see which the mail server accepts. Permutation works only where verification can tell the difference. On a domain that rejects unknown addresses, a `250` reply for `jane.smith@` and `550` for the others is a strong result. On a catch-all domain every guess is accepted, so verification proves nothing and the guess is the riskiest kind of address you can send to. For local businesses, permutation is less useful than it sounds. Many small firms run on one shared inbox, many are catch-all, and the owner's name often isn't on the website. An address the business published itself on its contact page beats a guessed one almost every time. If you do send to guessed addresses, keep them as their own segment, never mix them with published addresses, and stop at the first sign of elevated bounces. ## Example For Jane Smith at `smithdental.com`, a permutator suggests `jane@`, `jane.smith@` and `jsmith@`. The server rejects two and accepts `jane@`, and it also rejects a random test address, so `jane@` is graded verified. ## In Leadraft When a website shows no address, Leadraft may suggest a likely one from common patterns, only when the domain has a working mail server, and checks it like any other email. Its source is shown as a pattern guess. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 5321: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321) 2. 2.[Leadraft, Verification methodology](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification) ## Related terms - [Email finderAn email finder is a tool that finds email addresses for a business or person, from websites, databases or pattern guesses, usually with verification.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-finder) - [Catch-all emailA catch-all email is an address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for any address, so a verifier can't confirm the mailbox really exists.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/catch-all-email) - [Email verificationEmail verification is checking whether an address can receive mail, using syntax, MX and SMTP tests, without sending a message to it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-verification) - [MX recordAn MX record is a DNS record that names the mail servers accepting email for a domain, with a priority number for each server.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/mx-record) ## Further reading - [Free email permutator](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-permutator) - [Catch-all emails explained](https://leadraft.co/blog/catch-all-emails-explained) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Email verification Email verification is checking whether an address can receive mail, using syntax, MX and SMTP tests, without sending a message to it. **Also called:** Email validation, Email checking, Mailbox verification. A verifier runs a short pipeline. It checks the address's syntax, looks up the domain's MX records to find its mail servers, then opens an SMTP conversation with one of them. It names the recipient with `RCPT TO`, reads the reply code, and hangs up before the `DATA` command, so nothing is delivered. A final test asks about an address that can't exist, to detect catch-all domains. The result is a grade. A `250` reply on a domain that rejects made-up addresses means the mailbox exists: valid. A permanent `5xx` reply such as `550 5.1.1` means no such user: invalid. A server that accepts everything is catch-all. A timeout or a temporary `4xx` reply is unknown and should be retried, never marked invalid. For local lead generation, verification is what separates a list you can send to from a list that burns your domain. Addresses found on small business websites include typos, old staff mailboxes and closed domains, and pattern guesses are often wrong. Sending tools pause campaigns on high bounce rates; Instantly, for example, auto-pauses above 5%. Verification has limits. It measures one server reply at one moment. It can't tell whether a person reads the inbox, whether mail will land in spam, or anything certain about catch-all domains, and some large providers don't answer checks reliably. Re-verify before a send if the last check is more than about a month old. ## Example A list of 500 dentist emails is verified the day before a campaign: 360 come back valid, 90 catch-all, 30 invalid and 20 unknown. The 360 go out first, the 90 later in a separate batch, the 30 are dropped, and the 20 are re-checked in a few days. ## In Leadraft Every email found is checked against the live mail server and graded **Verified**, **Accept-all** or **Invalid**.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Email warm-up Email warm-up is gradually increasing the volume sent from a new domain or mailbox so mailbox providers learn to trust it before full campaigns. **Also called:** Domain warm-up, Inbox warm-up, Warming up a domain. A brand-new domain has no sending history, so providers treat a sudden burst of mail from it with suspicion. Warm-up means starting with a small daily volume and raising it over weeks, while keeping bounces and complaints near zero. Many cold email tools include automated warm-up networks that exchange messages between participating inboxes. These can help a new mailbox build history, but they don't fix the things providers measure most: whether real recipients complain, and whether your list bounces. Google's guidance when mail starts being deferred or bouncing is to reduce volume until the error rate falls. Warm-up only works on a sound setup. Authenticate the domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC first, set up a real reply path, and make the first real campaigns go to your best, verified addresses. For local business outreach, a practical approach is to start each new mailbox with a few dozen sends a day to verified addresses in a single trade, read every reply, and only add catch-all segments once the mailbox has a clean record. ## Example An agency sets up three mailboxes on a new domain, authenticates it, and runs warm-up for two weeks.

Firmographics are to companies what demographics are to people. The classic fields are industry (often as a NAICS or SIC code), location, employee count, revenue, ownership and founding year. For local businesses, classic firmographics are thin. Revenue and headcount are rarely public for a three-person plumbing company, and estimates are often guesses. The fields you can actually observe are more useful: Google Maps category, address and service area, hours, rating and review count, whether there's a website, which platform it runs on, and which social networks it uses. Use firmographics to segment messaging and to filter. Category decides the trade-specific angle. Review count and rating say something about reputation and size. A missing website or an outdated platform is a direct signal for a web or marketing offer. Be careful with inferred fields from third-party databases.

GDPR Article 6(1)(f) allows processing that is necessary for your legitimate interests, unless the person's rights and interests override them. Recital 47 adds that processing for direct marketing "may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest." So B2B cold email can rely on it, but only with conditions. You need a documented balancing test: what you want to do, why it's necessary, and why it's fair to the person (relevance to their job helps; high volume and irrelevant offers hurt). You must tell people where you got their data, at the latest when you first contact them. And Article 21 gives an absolute right to object to direct marketing: when someone says stop, you stop. Legitimate interest covers the data protection side only. Email marketing is also governed by each country's electronic marketing rules. In the UK, PECR lets you email companies without consent but treats sole traders as individuals; Germany's unfair competition law requires prior consent for email advertising even to businesses. Check both layers. A business email with a person's name in it is personal data. A generic `info@` address of a company may not be, but treat it carefully anyway. ## Example A UK agency emails limited companies about local SEO.

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is how a business manages its appearance on Google Maps and in local search results. Owners can verify the listing and edit its name, categories, address or service area, hours, phone, website and photos, and respond to reviews. Each profile has one primary category and, according to Google's help pages, up to 9 additional categories. Google's guidelines ask businesses to choose the fewest categories that describe the core business, which is why category data is so useful for filtering lead lists by trade. For lead generation, the profile is the source of most of what you know about a local business before you contact it: what it does, where it is, whether it has a website, how many reviews it has and what its rating is. Agencies selling local SEO, reviews or websites build their whole pitch on these fields. Not every listing is maintained.

Treat profile data as a strong starting point, then check the website before you write. ## Example A roofer's profile shows primary category "Roofing contractor," additional category "Gutter cleaning service," 4.2 stars from 18 reviews, and no website: a likely prospect for a web design agency. ## Sources 1. 1.[Google Business Profile Help, Manage your business category](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7249669) 2. 2.[Google Business Profile Help, Guidelines for representing your business on Google](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177) ## Related terms - [Google Maps categoriesGoogle Maps categories are the fixed labels businesses choose to describe what they do, such as "Plumber" or "Dental clinic," one primary plus extras.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-maps-categories) - [Google Place IDA Google Place ID is a text identifier that uniquely identifies a place in Google's Places database, used to dedupe and look up listings.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-place-id) - [Local lead generationLocal lead generation is finding and contacting businesses in a specific place, such as every dentist in a county, usually starting from Google Maps.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/local-lead-generation) - [FirmographicsFirmographics are descriptive facts about a business, such as industry, location, size and age, used to segment and qualify B2B leads.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/firmographics) ## Further reading - [How to get local SEO clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-local-seo-clients) - [How to get web design clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-web-design-clients) - [Leadraft for agencies](https://leadraft.co/solutions/agencies) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Google Maps & local data · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Google Maps categories Google Maps categories are the fixed labels businesses choose to describe what they do, such as "Plumber" or "Dental clinic," one primary plus extras. **Also called:** Google Business Profile categories, GBP categories, Business categories. Businesses pick categories from a list Google maintains; they can't invent their own. Each profile has a primary category and can add up to 9 additional ones. Google's guidance is to choose the most specific categories that describe the core business and not to use them as keywords. Categories are the most reliable way to filter a lead list by trade. A Maps search for "plumber" returns plumbers, but also hardware stores, bathroom showrooms and water-heater retailers. Filtering on the listing's category, rather than on the keyword that found it, removes the off-trade rows. They also drive coverage. People search with many words, and businesses file themselves under many categories, so one keyword misses part of the market. Searching with the exact category names ("Plumber," "Drainage service," "Water heater installation service") alongside everyday synonyms finds more of the businesses in an area. Category names vary by country and language, and they change over time as Google adds and renames them. Re-check your category list per market. ## Example A search for "dentist" in Chicago is filtered to listings whose primary category is Dentist, Dental clinic, Cosmetic dentist or Pediatric dentist. A dental supply store found by the same search is dropped. ## In Leadraft Leadraft checks each result's Google category for relevance.

Glossary · Google Maps & local data · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Google Maps scraping Google Maps scraping is automatically collecting business listing data, such as names, phones, websites and ratings, from Google Maps search results. **Also called:** Google Maps data extraction, Google Maps scraper. People scrape Google Maps because it's the most complete public directory of local businesses: name, category, address, phone, website, hours, rating and review count for millions of places. Tools range from browser extensions and Python scripts to cloud services and lead platforms. Two practical limits shape every method. Maps shows a limited number of results per search, so covering a city needs many searches across smaller areas (see grid search). And listings rarely include email addresses, so emails have to come from each business's own website. Legality has three separate parts. **Contract:** Google's Maps terms prohibit mass downloading or creating bulk feeds of content, and list business listings databases, mailing lists and telemarketing lists among datasets you may not create or augment with Google Maps for a similar service; the Maps Platform terms also prohibit scraping. **Privacy:** business facts are generally public business information, but a named person's data is personal data under GDPR and similar laws. **Outreach:** how you use the list is governed by CAN-SPAM, PECR, CASL and others. None of this is legal advice. If your business depends on Maps data, read the terms yourself and talk to a lawyer. ## Example A web designer wants every bakery in Denver. One Maps search shows a fraction of them, so they search neighborhood by neighborhood, dedupe by Place ID, and look up each bakery's website for an email. ## Sources 1. 1.[Google, Google Maps End User Additional Terms of Service](https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps/) 2. 2.[Google, Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms) ## Related terms - [Grid searchGrid search (tiling) splits an area into small tiles and searches each one, to get past the result limits of a single Google Maps search.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/grid-search) - [Google Place IDA Google Place ID is a text identifier that uniquely identifies a place in Google's Places database, used to dedupe and look up listings.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-place-id) - [Google Places APIThe Google Places API is Google's official, paid API for searching places and getting details like name, address, phone, website, hours and ratings.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-places-api) - [Lead listA lead list is a set of businesses or people you plan to contact, with the fields needed to qualify them and reach them, such as email and phone.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-list) - [Local lead generationLocal lead generation is finding and contacting businesses in a specific place, such as every dentist in a county, usually starting from Google Maps.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/local-lead-generation) ## Further reading - [Is scraping Google Maps legal?](https://leadraft.co/blog/is-scraping-google-maps-legal) - [Best Google Maps scrapers](https://leadraft.co/blog/best-google-maps-scrapers) - [Google Maps 120-result limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) - [Leadraft vs Outscraper](https://leadraft.co/compare/leadraft-vs-outscraper) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Google Maps & local data · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Google Place ID A Google Place ID is a text identifier that uniquely identifies a place in Google's Places database, used to dedupe and look up listings. **Also called:** Place ID, place\_id. Google describes a Place ID as "a textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place." Every business listing on Google Maps has one, and the Places API accepts it to fetch details about that place. For lead lists, the Place ID is the right key for deduplication. Names and addresses are typed inconsistently ("Joe's Plumbing" vs "Joe's Plumbing LLC"), but the same listing found by two different searches has the same Place ID. Deduping on it is far more reliable than fuzzy-matching names. Place IDs aren't permanent. Google says they may change over time and can become obsolete if a business closes or moves, and recommends refreshing Place IDs that are more than 12 months old. Place IDs are exempt from the caching restrictions in the Maps Platform terms, so you can store them. Don't confuse a Place ID with the CID, a numeric ID that appears in some Maps URLs. They identify the same listing in different ways; Place ID is the one the official API uses. ## Example A search for "plumber" and a search for "drain cleaning" in Austin both return `ChIJ...` for the same business. The second copy is dropped as a duplicate. ## In Leadraft Leadraft dedupes on the Google Place ID and charges once per business per organization, ever.

Glossary · Google Maps & local data · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Google Places API The Google Places API is Google's official, paid API for searching places and getting details like name, address, phone, website, hours and ratings. **Also called:** Places API, Places API (New), Google Maps Places API. The Places API is part of Google Maps Platform. Its main endpoints are Text Search ("plumbers in Austin"), Nearby Search (places around a point), Place Details (everything about one Place ID), and Autocomplete. The current version, Places API (New), requires a field mask: you list the fields you want, and the fields decide which price tier the request is billed at. It's the sanctioned way to use Google's place data, with a documented price per request and terms you agree to. It also has limits that matter for lead generation. Text Search (New) returns at most 60 results across all pages for one query, so covering a city still means many searches over smaller areas. It doesn't return email addresses. And the Maps Platform terms restrict caching and storing most content, though Place IDs are exempt. Teams usually choose between three options: build on the Places API (official, priced per call, needs development and coverage logic), use a scraper (cheaper per row, against Google's terms), or use a lead tool that delivers finished lists. Work out the cost per usable lead for your market before you choose. ## Example A developer runs Text Search for "coffee shop in Portland" and gets 60 results over three pages, then splits the city into a grid of smaller searches to find the rest. ## Sources 1. 1.[Google for Developers, Places API overview](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/overview) 2. 2.[Google for Developers, Text Search (New)](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/text-search) 3. 3.[Google for Developers, Place IDs](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-id) 4. 4.[Google, Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms) ## Related terms - [Google Place IDA Google Place ID is a text identifier that uniquely identifies a place in Google's Places database, used to dedupe and look up listings.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-place-id) - [Grid searchGrid search (tiling) splits an area into small tiles and searches each one, to get past the result limits of a single Google Maps search.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/grid-search) - [Google Maps scrapingGoogle Maps scraping is automatically collecting business listing data, such as names, phones, websites and ratings, from Google Maps search results.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-maps-scraping) - [Google Business ProfileA Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows a business on Google Search and Maps, with its categories, hours, phone, website and reviews.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-business-profile) ## Further reading - [Google Places API vs scraping](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-places-api-vs-scraping) - [Google Maps 120-result limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) - [Leadraft REST API](https://leadraft.co/docs/api) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Google Maps & local data · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Grid search Grid search (tiling) splits an area into small tiles and searches each one, to get past the result limits of a single Google Maps search. **Also called:** Tiling, Grid scraping, Tiled search. One Google Maps search shows a limited number of results, often cited as about 120, and the official Places API Text Search returns at most 60 results per query. In a big city, that's a fraction of the businesses in a trade. Grid search covers the area in pieces so each search is local to a small tile. The method: divide the area into tiles sized to the density of businesses, run every keyword in every tile, and merge the results. Dense downtown areas need smaller tiles than suburbs. Results overlap between neighboring tiles, so you need deduplication on the Place ID. The trade-off is cost and time. A city might need hundreds or thousands of searches per keyword. Combining it with a good keyword list (category names plus synonyms) matters as much as the tiles: grid search finds more of the businesses that match a keyword, and keywords decide which businesses can match at all. Coverage is never guaranteed. It depends on the keywords, how Google files each business, and how fine the grid is. Measure it by comparing against a plain search. ## Example A single search for "coffee shop" in Portland returned 230 businesses in our measured run; a tiled search of the same city and keyword found 457. That's one city and one keyword, so treat it as an illustration, not a rule. ## In Leadraft Leadraft tiles every search past Google's result cap, runs every keyword in every tile, and dedupes on the Place ID.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Hard bounce A hard bounce is a permanent delivery failure, such as an address that doesn't exist, returned with an SMTP reply code starting with 5. **Also called:** Permanent bounce, Permanent failure. Under RFC 5321, reply codes starting with 5 mean permanent failure. The most common hard bounce is `550 5.1.1`, where the enhanced status code `5.1.1` (RFC 3463) means "bad destination mailbox address": no such user. Other hard bounces include domains that don't exist or accept no mail. A hard bounce means stop. Microsoft's Outlook.com policy says that after a permanent failure the sender must not try to retransmit that message to that recipient, and Amazon SES bases its bounce rate on hard bounces. Every hard bounce should go straight onto your suppression list so no future campaign, client or export sends to it again. Not every `5xx` reply is about the address. Codes in the `5.7.x` range are usually policy rejections of the sender, such as failed authentication. Outlook, for example, rejects non-compliant high-volume mail with `550 5.7.515`. Those look like hard bounces in a dashboard but point to your setup, not your list. For local business lists, hard bounces mostly come from guessed addresses, former staff mailboxes and closed businesses. Verifying shortly before sending removes most of them. ## Example An email to `jsmith@acmedental.com` comes back with `550 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist`.

An ICP describes companies, not people: trade, location, size, and the signals that make a business a good fit. A buyer persona describes the person inside it. For local lead generation, an ICP is usually a trade, a place and a qualification rule. Write it so it can be filtered. "Small businesses that need marketing" can't be turned into a list. "Independent plumbing and HVAC contractors in the Austin metro with a website and fewer than 50 Google reviews" can, because every part maps to a field you can see. Good ICP fields for local businesses include category, city or service area, whether they have a website, rating and review count, hours, and website platform. Fields you can't see, such as revenue, are better left out than guessed. Revisit the ICP after each campaign. Reply rates by segment tell you which part of the definition is wrong faster than any planning session. ## Example A review-management agency's ICP: dental practices in Florida with a website, a rating below 4.5, and at least 20 reviews.

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML format for geographic data. It was developed for Google Earth and is now a standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium. A KMZ file is the same thing zipped. A KML file can hold placemarks (points), paths and polygons, with coordinates as longitude, latitude pairs. For lead generation, the polygon is what matters: it lets you move an exact territory from one tool to another instead of redrawing it. Common sources are Google Earth, Google My Maps, GIS software such as QGIS, and public datasets of boundaries like zip codes, counties or school districts. Franchise and field sales teams often already have their territories as KML. Watch for very detailed shapes with tens of thousands of points, files with several polygons where you only want one, and coordinates in the wrong order. Simplify the shape if a tool struggles with it, and check it on a map after import so a stray point doesn't stretch your territory into the next county. ## Example A franchise exports each franchisee's territory from Google My Maps as KML, uploads them one by one, and builds a separate lead list of salons inside each territory. ## In Leadraft You can upload a KML file to define a search area, alongside drawn polygons, radius circles and named places. ## Sources 1. 1.[Google for Developers, KML Reference](https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference) 2. 2.[Open Geospatial Consortium, KML standard](https://www.ogc.org/standards/kml/) ## Related terms - [Polygon searchA polygon search finds businesses inside a shape you draw on a map, instead of a city name or a radius, so the results match your exact territory.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/polygon-search) - [Grid searchGrid search (tiling) splits an area into small tiles and searches each one, to get past the result limits of a single Google Maps search.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/grid-search) - [Local lead generationLocal lead generation is finding and contacting businesses in a specific place, such as every dentist in a county, usually starting from Google Maps.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/local-lead-generation) ## Further reading - [Discovery in Leadraft](https://leadraft.co/product/discovery) - [How to get every business past the 120-result limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) ## Every business on the map.

A raw lead might be a business name and a city. Enrichment fills in what you need to act: website, verified email, phone, address, category, rating, review count, hours, social profiles, and fields such as which platform the website runs on. Enrichment data comes from three kinds of source: the business's own public presence (its website and listings), third-party databases, and inference (pattern-guessed emails, estimated company size). The first is usually freshest and easiest to justify; inferred fields need to be labeled as guesses. For local businesses, the most valuable enrichment is usually the email from the business's own website, verified, plus the fields that make a first line specific: review count for a reputation offer, missing website for a web design offer, category for trade-specific messaging. Keep the source and date on every enriched field. Enrichment decays like any other data, and you'll want to know which fields to refresh first. ## Example A list of 300 auto repair shops starts with names and phones. Enrichment adds websites for 240, emails for about half of those, Facebook and Yelp links, ratings and hours. ## In Leadraft Each business comes with about 45 columns, including up to 5 emails with grade, role and source, phone, website and website platform, hours, rating and reviews, and links to 8 social networks. ## Related terms - [FirmographicsFirmographics are descriptive facts about a business, such as industry, location, size and age, used to segment and qualify B2B leads.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/firmographics) - [Email finderAn email finder is a tool that finds email addresses for a business or person, from websites, databases or pattern guesses, usually with verification.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-finder) - [Lead listA lead list is a set of businesses or people you plan to contact, with the fields needed to qualify them and reach them, such as email and phone.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-list) - [Data decayData decay is the steady loss of accuracy in a lead list as people change jobs, businesses close or move, and email addresses stop working.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/data-decay) ## Further reading - [Emails in Leadraft](https://leadraft.co/product/emails) - [Does Google Maps show emails?](https://leadraft.co/blog/does-google-maps-show-emails) ## Every business on the map.

Buying a list is faster but usually worse for cold email: you can't see where the addresses came from or when they were checked, and bought lists can contain spam traps. ## Example An agency's list of HVAC contractors in Maricopa County has 640 qualifying businesses after cleaning, 410 with a verified email and 120 with an accept-all email. It knows the market size and which segment to send first. ## In Leadraft A search becomes a lead list in the leads table, with filters, saved views and about 45 columns, exportable to CSV or XLSX or pushed to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot. ## Sources 1. 1.[Amazon SES, Reputation metrics messages (bounce, complaint and spamtrap notices)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/reputationdashboardmessages.html) ## Related terms - [Ideal customer profileAn ideal customer profile (ICP) describes the kind of business that gets the most value from your offer and is most likely to buy it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/ideal-customer-profile) - [Lead enrichmentLead enrichment is adding missing data to a lead, such as emails, social links, categories or ratings, so it can be qualified and contacted.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-enrichment) - [DeduplicationDeduplication is finding and merging records that describe the same business or person, so each appears once in a list.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/deduplication) - [Data decayData decay is the steady loss of accuracy in a lead list as people change jobs, businesses close or move, and email addresses stop working.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/data-decay) - [Local lead generationLocal lead generation is finding and contacting businesses in a specific place, such as every dentist in a county, usually starting from Google Maps.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/local-lead-generation) ## Further reading - [Google Maps lead generation playbook](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-lead-generation) - [Lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) - [Industry lead lists](https://leadraft.co/leads) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Lead generation · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Lead scoring Lead scoring is ranking leads by how likely they are to buy, using points for fit and behavior, so you contact the best ones first. **Also called:** Lead qualification score, Prospect scoring. A lead score adds up signals. Fit signals describe the business: right trade, right area, size, has a website. Behavior signals describe what the lead did: replied, clicked, visited your pricing page. In outbound to local businesses, you have mostly fit signals until someone replies. Keep scores simple and explainable. A few rules tied to your offer beat a complex model trained on too little data. For a review-management agency, "rating below 4.5" and "more than 20 reviews" might each be worth points; for a web designer, "no website" or "site on an old platform" might be the main signal. Scores should change what you do: who gets a personalized first line, who gets a call, who waits. If every lead gets the same sequence regardless of score, the score isn't doing anything. Check scores against outcomes. After a few campaigns, compare reply and close rates by score band, and drop the signals that don't predict anything. ## Example A web agency scores roofers: +3 for no website, +2 for fewer than 10 reviews, +1 for being inside its home county. The 8-point and above group gets a personal email and a call; the rest get a short sequence. ## Related terms - [Ideal customer profileAn ideal customer profile (ICP) describes the kind of business that gets the most value from your offer and is most likely to buy it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/ideal-customer-profile) - [FirmographicsFirmographics are descriptive facts about a business, such as industry, location, size and age, used to segment and qualify B2B leads.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/firmographics) - [Lead enrichmentLead enrichment is adding missing data to a lead, such as emails, social links, categories or ratings, so it can be qualified and contacted.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-enrichment) - [Lead listA lead list is a set of businesses or people you plan to contact, with the fields needed to qualify them and reach them, such as email and phone.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-list) ## Further reading - [How to get web design clients](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-to-get-web-design-clients) - [Leadraft for agencies](https://leadraft.co/solutions/agencies) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Lead generation · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Local lead generation Local lead generation is finding and contacting businesses in a specific place, such as every dentist in a county, usually starting from Google Maps. **Also called:** Local business lead generation, Local prospecting. Local lead generation is B2B prospecting where geography defines the market. Agencies selling websites, SEO or reviews, payments and POS providers, insurers, distributors and staffing firms all sell to businesses in a territory. The workflow is consistent: define the trade and place, collect every business that fits (Google Maps is the most complete public source), clean the list by area, trade and duplicates, find emails on each business's website, verify them, and send small, relevant campaigns. Coverage is the hidden problem. One Maps search shows a limited number of results, and one keyword misses businesses filed under other categories. Covering a city properly means many keywords across many small areas. Local markets are finite. You can count them, which lets you plan volume, and you'll contact the same businesses again in future campaigns. That makes a shared suppression list and a light touch more important than in broad B2B, and makes new businesses opening in your area a valuable, recurring source. ## Example A Tampa agency builds a list of every landscaper in Hillsborough County, emails the verified segment over a month, and then gets new landscapers as they appear each week. ## In Leadraft Leadraft finds every business of a kind inside a place you choose, from Google Maps, finds and checks emails from each business's own site, and charges once per business, ever.

Glossary · Technical · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Model Context Protocol The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT connect to external tools and data sources. **Also called:** MCP, MCP server. MCP was introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 as an open protocol. An application exposes an MCP server with a set of tools (functions with descriptions and typed inputs) and resources. An AI client connects to it, reads what the tools do, and calls them when a user's request needs them. Before MCP, each assistant needed its own plugin format. With MCP, one server works with any client that supports the protocol, which now includes many AI assistants, coding tools and agent frameworks. For lead generation, MCP means you can ask an assistant for leads in plain language ("find plumbers in Austin with a verified email") and it calls the lead tool directly, starts a search, checks progress, and reads results back into the conversation or into a next step such as drafting emails. Treat MCP access like API access. A connected assistant can spend credits and read data on your behalf, so use scoped API keys and review what it does. ## Example In Claude, a user asks for HVAC contractors in Phoenix. The assistant calls `start_search`, polls `search_status`, then calls `find_leads` and summarizes the businesses with verified emails. ## In Leadraft Leadraft runs an MCP server with six tools: `find_leads`, `get_lead`, `start_search`, `search_status`, `list_searches` and `credits`.

Definition and examples · Leadraft URL: https://leadraft.co/glossary/mx-record Summary: An MX record is a DNS record that names the mail servers accepting email for a domain, with a priority number for each server. Glossary · Technical · Last updated October 31, 2026 # MX record An MX record is a DNS record that names the mail servers accepting email for a domain, with a priority number for each server. **Also called:** Mail exchanger record, MX. MX (mail exchanger) records live in a domain's DNS. Each one names a mail server and a preference number; senders try the lowest number first. When anyone sends mail to `office@smithplumbing.com`, their server looks up the MX records for `smithplumbing.com` to know where to deliver it. RFC 5321 section 5.1 covers the edge cases. If a domain has no MX records but does have an address (A or AAAA) record, the domain itself is treated as the mail server, the so-called implicit MX. If a domain publishes a "null MX" (`MX 0 .`, defined in RFC 7505), it is explicitly saying it accepts no mail. MX lookups are the first real test in email verification. A domain with no way to receive mail can't have a valid address, so it fails fast and cheaply. The records also show who hosts the mail: records ending in `google.com` point to Google Workspace, and `mail.protection.outlook.com` points to Microsoft 365. That helps predict how a domain will behave in a mailbox check. For local business lists, a missing MX record is often the first sign a business has closed or let its domain lapse. Verifiers that ignore the implicit-MX rule can wrongly mark working addresses invalid, so check how your tool handles it. ## Example Looking up `smithplumbing.com` returns `10 aspmx.l.google.com` and `20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com`. The business uses Google Workspace, and senders try the priority-10 server first. ## In Leadraft Every email is MX-checked before the mailbox check, and pattern-guessed addresses are only suggested when the domain has a working mail server. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 5321: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321) 2. 2.[IETF, RFC 7505: A "Null MX" No Service Resource Record](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7505) ## Related terms - [SMTPSMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard, defined in RFC 5321, that mail servers use to send and relay email to each other.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/smtp) - [Email verificationEmail verification is checking whether an address can receive mail, using syntax, MX and SMTP tests, without sending a message to it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-verification) - [SPFSPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that lists which servers are allowed to send email for a domain, so receivers can spot forgeries.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/spf) - [Catch-all emailA catch-all email is an address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for any address, so a verifier can't confirm the mailbox really exists.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/catch-all-email) ## Further reading - [Email domain checker](https://leadraft.co/tools/email-domain-checker) - [How email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Lead generation · Last updated October 31, 2026 # NAICS code A NAICS code is a 2- to 6-digit number from the North American Industry Classification System that identifies a business's industry. **Also called:** North American Industry Classification System. NAICS was developed jointly by the US, Canada and Mexico and replaced the older SIC system in the US starting in 1997. Codes run from 2 digits (sector) to 6 digits (national industry). For example, 238220 is Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors, and 621210 is Offices of Dentists. The Census Bureau publishes the current version and revises it every five years. Government statistics use NAICS, which makes it useful for sizing markets. The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns gives establishment counts by NAICS code and county, so you can estimate how many businesses of a type exist before you build a list. For list building, NAICS is coarse. 238220 lumps plumbers and HVAC contractors together, and a business's code is assigned for statistical or tax purposes, not chosen to describe what customers search for. Google Maps categories are usually more specific and more current for local businesses. Use NAICS to size and to match against other datasets; use categories and keywords to find and filter actual businesses. ## Example A distributor checks County Business Patterns for NAICS 722513 (Limited-Service Restaurants) in its region to size the market, then builds the actual contact list from Google Maps using categories like "Fast food restaurant" and "Sandwich shop." ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, North American Industry Classification System](https://www.census.gov/naics/) 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp.html) ## Related terms - [SIC codeA SIC code is a 4-digit Standard Industrial Classification number for a business's industry, an older US system largely replaced by NAICS.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/sic-code) - [FirmographicsFirmographics are descriptive facts about a business, such as industry, location, size and age, used to segment and qualify B2B leads.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/firmographics) - [Google Maps categoriesGoogle Maps categories are the fixed labels businesses choose to describe what they do, such as "Plumber" or "Dental clinic," one primary plus extras.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/google-maps-categories) - [Total addressable marketTotal addressable market (TAM) is the total number of potential customers for an offer, or the revenue they represent, in the markets you can serve.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/total-addressable-market) ## Further reading - [Industry lead lists](https://leadraft.co/leads) - [Leadraft for data teams](https://leadraft.co/solutions/data-teams) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Google Maps & local data · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Polygon search A polygon search finds businesses inside a shape you draw on a map, instead of a city name or a radius, so the results match your exact territory. **Also called:** Draw-on-map search, Custom area search, Geofenced search. Sales territories rarely follow city limits. A service area might be three suburbs and half a county, or everything east of a river. A polygon search lets you draw that shape and search inside it. The shape does two jobs. It decides where to search, because the area is broken into smaller pieces that each get their own searches. And it decides what to keep: businesses whose coordinates fall outside the polygon are flagged or dropped, even if a search near the edge returned them. That second job is where most lists go wrong. Searches near a boundary always pull in neighbors, so a list for "Scottsdale" often contains Phoenix and Tempe businesses. Checking each result's latitude and longitude against the polygon is the only way to be sure. Polygons can be drawn by hand, built from a radius around a point, or imported from a KML file exported from Google Earth or a GIS tool. ## Example A pest control company draws its service area covering parts of three Dallas suburbs. The search returns 900 businesses; 140 fall outside the shape and are labeled as out of area. ## In Leadraft You can draw a polygon, set a radius, upload a KML file, or name a city, county or postcode.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Role-based email A role-based email is an address for a function rather than a person, such as info@, office@ or sales@, often read by several people. **Also called:** Role address, Generic email address, Group mailbox. Role addresses describe a job, not a name. RFC 2142 lists conventional ones, including `info@`, `sales@`, `support@`, `marketing@`, `postmaster@` and `abuse@`. In practice, small businesses add their own: `office@`, `bookings@`, `quotes@`, `hello@`. Many email verifiers flag role addresses, and some cold email advice says to avoid them. For enterprise prospecting that can make sense. For local businesses it usually doesn't: a four-person HVAC company's `office@` inbox is often the main way customers reach it, and the owner reads it. Some role addresses really should be avoided. `postmaster@` and `abuse@` exist for mail administration and complaints, `noreply@` doesn't take replies, and addresses that belong to the web designer or hosting company aren't the business at all. The useful approach is to keep the role as a field and segment on it. Message `office@` and `info@` addresses as the business, not as a named person, and prefer a named address when the business publishes one. ## Example A dental practice's site lists `frontdesk@` and `dr.lee@`. A campaign to practice owners uses `dr.lee@` first, and messages `frontdesk@` with an introduction addressed to the practice. ## In Leadraft Each business can have up to 5 emails, and each one carries its role (for example sales or general) and the page it was found on, so you can filter or segment by role. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 2142: Mailbox Names for Common Services, Roles and Functions](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2142) ## Related terms - [Email finderAn email finder is a tool that finds email addresses for a business or person, from websites, databases or pattern guesses, usually with verification.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-finder) - [Email verificationEmail verification is checking whether an address can receive mail, using syntax, MX and SMTP tests, without sending a message to it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-verification) - [Catch-all emailA catch-all email is an address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for any address, so a verifier can't confirm the mailbox really exists.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/catch-all-email) - [Lead listA lead list is a set of businesses or people you plan to contact, with the fields needed to qualify them and reach them, such as email and phone.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-list) ## Further reading - [Emails in Leadraft](https://leadraft.co/product/emails) - [Does Google Maps show emails?](https://leadraft.co/blog/does-google-maps-show-emails) ## Every business on the map.

Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook each keep their own view of how trustworthy your mail is. They don't publish the formula, but their guidelines show the inputs: spam complaints, attempts to deliver to invalid addresses, authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), sending patterns, spam-trap hits and how recipients engage. The clearest published number is the complaint threshold. Google asks senders to keep the spam rate in Postmaster Tools below 0.1% and never let it reach 0.3%; Yahoo asks bulk senders to stay below 0.3%. Bounces count too: Amazon SES notes that providers read a high bounce rate as a sign a sender isn't managing their list. Reputation is mostly tied to your domain now, which is why cold emailers send from a separate domain: if it gets damaged, your main domain's mail to clients keeps working. Rebuilding a damaged reputation takes weeks of low, clean volume. In local lead generation, the biggest threats are lists with unverified or guessed addresses, catch-all domains mixed into verified sends, and messages that aren't relevant to the business. Clean lists and relevant messages protect reputation better than any tool. ## Example A new domain sends 2,000 emails on day one to an unverified list.

The Standard Industrial Classification system was last revised in 1987. Codes are four digits: 1711 is Plumbing, Heating and Air-Conditioning, and 8021 is Offices and Clinics of Dentists. OSHA still publishes the 1987 SIC manual. NAICS replaced SIC for US federal statistics from 1997, but SIC hasn't disappeared. The SEC still assigns SIC codes to companies that file with it, and many purchased business lists and older databases are still organized by SIC. For local lead generation, SIC has the same weakness as NAICS, only more so: it's coarse, it predates many modern business types, and codes on purchased lists are often inferred rather than chosen by the business. A list sold as "SIC 7231 Beauty Shops" may mix hair salons, nail salons and barbers. If a vendor or client hands you SIC codes, translate them into Google Maps categories and keywords before searching. Keep the original code as a column, so you can still match the list against the client's existing data. ## Example A client asks for "SIC 8021" leads.

Glossary · Technical · Last updated October 31, 2026 # SMTP SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard, defined in RFC 5321, that mail servers use to send and relay email to each other. **Also called:** Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. An SMTP session is a short text conversation. The client greets the server (`EHLO`), names the sender (`MAIL FROM`), names each recipient (`RCPT TO`), sends the message after `DATA`, and quits. The server answers each step with a three-digit reply code. Reply codes are grouped by first digit: `2xx` success (for example `250`), `4xx` temporary failure (try again later), `5xx` permanent failure (for example `550` for no such user). Enhanced status codes from RFC 3463, such as `5.1.1`, add detail. Email verification uses the first half of this conversation. A verifier sends `RCPT TO` for the address, reads the reply, and quits before `DATA`, so no message is delivered. The `VRFY` command looks like it was made for this, but RFC 5321 lets servers decline to answer it and most do. Knowing the codes helps you read bounce reports. `5.1.x` codes mean bad addresses (a list problem); `5.7.x` codes usually mean policy or authentication (a setup or reputation problem); `4xx` codes mean wait and retry, not delete. ## Example `RCPT TO:` gets `250 OK`; `RCPT TO:` gets `550 5.1.1 User unknown`. The first mailbox exists; the second doesn't, and the domain isn't catch-all. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 5321: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321) 2. 2.[IETF, RFC 3463: Enhanced Mail System Status Codes](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3463) ## Related terms - [Email verificationEmail verification is checking whether an address can receive mail, using syntax, MX and SMTP tests, without sending a message to it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-verification) - [MX recordAn MX record is a DNS record that names the mail servers accepting email for a domain, with a priority number for each server.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/mx-record) - [Hard bounceA hard bounce is a permanent delivery failure, such as an address that doesn't exist, returned with an SMTP reply code starting with 5.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/hard-bounce) - [Soft bounceA soft bounce is a temporary delivery failure, such as a full mailbox or busy server, returned with an SMTP reply code starting with 4.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/soft-bounce) ## Further reading - [How email verification works](https://leadraft.co/blog/how-email-verification-works) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Soft bounce A soft bounce is a temporary delivery failure, such as a full mailbox or busy server, returned with an SMTP reply code starting with 4. **Also called:** Temporary bounce, Transient failure, Deferral. RFC 5321 reply codes starting with 4 mean transient failure: the server can't accept the message now, but might later. Typical causes are a full mailbox, a server that's down or overloaded, rate limiting, and greylisting, where a server deliberately defers unknown senders on the first attempt. Sending servers retry soft bounces automatically for a while. If the address keeps failing, treat it like a hard bounce and remove it. Yahoo advises monitoring both hard and soft bounces, and Google recommends reducing your sending volume if mail starts being deferred, until the error rate drops. In email verification, a temporary reply is not an answer. A verifier that grades a `4xx` reply as invalid throws away good addresses; the right result is unknown, with a retry later. A sudden rise in soft bounces across many domains usually means providers are throttling you, which is a reputation signal. Slow down rather than pushing through. ## Example A message to a salon's address returns `452 4.2.2 Mailbox full`. The sender retries over the next day, then suppresses the address after repeated failures across two campaigns. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 5321: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321) 2. 2.[Yahoo, Sender best practices](https://senders.yahooinc.com/best-practices/) 3. 3.[Google, Email sender guidelines](https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126) ## Related terms - [Hard bounceA hard bounce is a permanent delivery failure, such as an address that doesn't exist, returned with an SMTP reply code starting with 5.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/hard-bounce) - [Bounce rateBounce rate is the percentage of sent emails that were returned as undeliverable; for cold email, under 2% is a sensible target.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/bounce-rate) - [Sender reputationSender reputation is the trust mailbox providers place in your sending domain and IP, built from complaints, bounces, authentication and engagement.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/sender-reputation) - [SMTPSMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard, defined in RFC 5321, that mail servers use to send and relay email to each other.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/smtp) ## Further reading - [What's a good cold email bounce rate?](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) ## Every business on the map.

Definition and examples · Leadraft URL: https://leadraft.co/glossary/spam-trap Summary: A spam trap is an email address used to catch senders with poor list practices; mail to one can damage your sender reputation or get you blocklisted. Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Spam trap A spam trap is an email address used to catch senders with poor list practices; mail to one can damage your sender reputation or get you blocklisted. **Also called:** Spamtrap, Honeypot address. Anti-spam organizations and mailbox providers run addresses that no real person uses. Amazon SES describes a spamtrap as "a dormant email address that is used exclusively to lure unsolicited email." Some were never published anywhere; others are old addresses that were abandoned, bounced for a long time, then reactivated as traps. Hitting one says your list was bought, scraped carelessly or never cleaned. The organizations keep the addresses secret, so you can't simply look them up and remove them. Amazon SES notes that purchased lists can contain spamtraps, which is one reason its terms prohibit sending to them. Verification can't reliably detect a trap, because a trap is a working mailbox by design. The defenses are about sourcing and hygiene: use addresses the business published itself, avoid bought lists, re-verify old data, drop addresses that bounced in the past, and remove people who never engage. Abandoned domains that accept all mail are a related risk for local lists. A closed business's catch-all domain can keep accepting messages long after anyone reads them. ## Example A company buys a ten-year-old list of contractors. Some addresses were abandoned and turned into traps, and its sending domain is listed by an anti-spam organization within a week. ## Sources 1. 1.[Amazon SES, Reputation metrics messages (bounce, complaint and spamtrap notices)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/reputationdashboardmessages.html) ## Related terms - [Sender reputationSender reputation is the trust mailbox providers place in your sending domain and IP, built from complaints, bounces, authentication and engagement.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/sender-reputation) - [Suppression listA suppression list is a list of addresses or domains you must never email again, such as opt-outs, hard bounces and complaints, checked before every send.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/suppression-list) - [Catch-all emailA catch-all email is an address on a domain whose mail server accepts mail for any address, so a verifier can't confirm the mailbox really exists.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/catch-all-email) - [Data decayData decay is the steady loss of accuracy in a lead list as people change jobs, businesses close or move, and email addresses stop working.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/data-decay) ## Further reading - [What's a good cold email bounce rate?](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-bounce-rate) ## Every business on the map.

Definition and examples · Leadraft URL: https://leadraft.co/glossary/spf Summary: SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that lists which servers are allowed to send email for a domain, so receivers can spot forgeries. Glossary · Email & deliverability · Last updated October 31, 2026 # SPF SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that lists which servers are allowed to send email for a domain, so receivers can spot forgeries. **Also called:** Sender Policy Framework. SPF is defined in RFC 7208. A domain publishes a TXT record starting `v=spf1` that lists permitted senders, for example `include:_spf.google.com` for Google Workspace, and ends with a rule for everyone else (`-all` to fail, `~all` to soft-fail). Receiving servers check the sending server's IP against that list. SPF checks the envelope sender (the bounce address), not the From address people see, which is why it works together with DKIM and DMARC. RFC 7208 also limits SPF evaluation to 10 DNS lookups; adding too many `include:` entries for different tools can break the record. SPF is now a baseline requirement. Google requires all senders to Gmail to set up SPF or DKIM, and bulk senders to set up both. Yahoo requires bulk senders to implement both, and Outlook.com requires domains sending more than 5,000 emails a day to pass SPF, DKIM and DMARC. For cold email to local businesses, set up SPF on a separate sending domain before warming it up, and add every tool that sends as you: your mailbox provider, your sequencer if it sends through its own servers, and any CRM. ## Example An agency's sending domain publishes `v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all`. Mail from Google Workspace passes; mail forged from another server soft-fails. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 7208: Sender Policy Framework (SPF)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7208) 2. 2.[Google, Email sender guidelines](https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126) 3. 3.[Yahoo, Sender best practices](https://senders.yahooinc.com/best-practices/) 4. 4.[Microsoft, Outlook.com Postmaster policies](https://substrate.office.com/ip-domain-management-snds/postmaster/Policies) ## Related terms - [DKIMDKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a cryptographic signature added to email so receivers can verify which domain sent it and that it wasn't altered.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/dkim) - [DMARCDMARC is a DNS policy that tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM alignment for your domain, and where to send reports.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/dmarc) - [Email deliverabilityEmail deliverability is the ability of your emails to reach recipients' inboxes rather than bouncing or landing in spam.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/email-deliverability) - [Sender reputationSender reputation is the trust mailbox providers place in your sending domain and IP, built from complaints, bounces, authentication and engagement.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/sender-reputation) ## Further reading - [Cold-email checklist for agencies](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-checklist-for-agencies) ## Every business on the map.

Definition and examples · Leadraft URL: https://leadraft.co/glossary/suppression-list Summary: A suppression list is a list of addresses or domains you must never email again, such as opt-outs, hard bounces and complaints, checked before every send. Glossary · Compliance · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Suppression list A suppression list is a list of addresses or domains you must never email again, such as opt-outs, hard bounces and complaints, checked before every send. **Also called:** Do-not-contact list, Do-not-email list, Blocklist (sender side). A suppression list protects two things: the law and your reputation. CAN-SPAM requires honoring opt-outs within 10 business days; CASL requires unsubscribes to take effect within 10 business days; Yahoo asks bulk senders to honor unsubscribes within 2 days. Hard bounces and spam complaints belong on the list too, because sending to them again damages your sender reputation. The list only works if it's applied everywhere. A common failure is suppressing an address in one campaign or one tool while it stays live in another, or rebuilding a list from scratch and re-importing everyone who opted out last quarter. Agencies have an extra problem: one business may be a prospect for several clients. Agree in writing who owns opt-outs, and decide whether an opt-out from one client's campaign suppresses that business for every client. For local markets, where you'll email the same towns again, a shared list saves real trouble. Suppress at the domain level when a business asks not to be contacted at all, not just the single address that replied. ## Example A plumber replies "remove me." The agency adds the address and the domain `joesplumbing.com` to its shared suppression list, so next quarter's rebuilt Austin list skips the business automatically. ## In Leadraft Your do-not-contact list is applied to every export and push automatically, and Instantly bounce feedback flows back from pushed leads. ## Sources 1. 1.[FTC, CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business) 2. 2.[Justice Laws Website, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (sections 10 and 11)](https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/E-1.6/page-2.html) 3. 3.[Yahoo, Sender best practices](https://senders.yahooinc.com/best-practices/) ## Related terms - [CAN-SPAM ActThe CAN-SPAM Act is the US law for commercial email; it allows cold email without consent but requires honest headers, an address and a working opt-out.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/can-spam) - [Hard bounceA hard bounce is a permanent delivery failure, such as an address that doesn't exist, returned with an SMTP reply code starting with 5.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/hard-bounce) - [CASLCASL is Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation, which requires consent before most commercial emails, including implied consent for published business addresses.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/casl) - [Sender reputationSender reputation is the trust mailbox providers place in your sending domain and IP, built from complaints, bounces, authentication and engagement.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/sender-reputation) - [DeduplicationDeduplication is finding and merging records that describe the same business or person, so each appears once in a list.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/deduplication) ## Further reading - [Cold email laws for B2B](https://leadraft.co/blog/cold-email-laws) - [Integrations](https://leadraft.co/product/integrations) - [Opt out of Leadraft data](https://leadraft.co/opt-out) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Lead generation · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Total addressable market Total addressable market (TAM) is the total number of potential customers for an offer, or the revenue they represent, in the markets you can serve. **Also called:** TAM, Addressable market. For local businesses, TAM is easiest to count in businesses rather than dollars: how many dentists are in your state, how many roofers in your metro. Multiply by expected price and win rate to estimate revenue. There are two ways to count. Government statistics give totals: the US Census Bureau's County Business Patterns publishes establishment counts by NAICS industry and county. They're authoritative but lag a couple of years and don't name the businesses. A complete search of Google Maps gives you a named, current list you can actually contact, but its completeness depends on keywords and coverage. The useful number is usually narrower: the serviceable market after applying your ICP (has a website, independent, inside your service area). Knowing it tells you how long your outbound can run before you've contacted everyone, and when to add a new town or trade. Watch for double counting. Multi-location businesses, practitioners listed separately from their practice, and duplicates across searches all inflate counts. ## Example An agency counts 640 qualifying HVAC contractors in its metro. At 20 new conversations a week and a 5% close rate, it can estimate roughly how many clients the market holds and when it will need a second city. ## Sources 1. 1.[US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp.html) 2. 2.[US Census Bureau, North American Industry Classification System](https://www.census.gov/naics/) ## Related terms - [Ideal customer profileAn ideal customer profile (ICP) describes the kind of business that gets the most value from your offer and is most likely to buy it.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/ideal-customer-profile) - [NAICS codeA NAICS code is a 2- to 6-digit number from the North American Industry Classification System that identifies a business's industry.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/naics-code) - [Lead listA lead list is a set of businesses or people you plan to contact, with the fields needed to qualify them and reach them, such as email and phone.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-list) - [Grid searchGrid search (tiling) splits an area into small tiles and searches each one, to get past the result limits of a single Google Maps search.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/grid-search) ## Further reading - [Lead list calculator](https://leadraft.co/tools/lead-list-calculator) - [How to get every business past the 120-result limit](https://leadraft.co/blog/google-maps-120-results-limit) - [Leadraft for data teams](https://leadraft.co/solutions/data-teams) ## Every business on the map.

Glossary · Technical · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Webhook A webhook is an HTTP request one app sends to a URL you choose when something happens, so other systems can react without polling. **Also called:** HTTP callback, Web callback. Instead of your system asking "anything new?" every few minutes, the source app calls you. When an event happens, such as a search finishing or a new lead arriving, it sends an HTTP POST with a JSON body to your endpoint. Because anyone can send a request to a public URL, good webhooks are signed. The sender computes an HMAC (RFC 2104) of the payload with a shared secret and puts it in a header; your endpoint recomputes it and rejects anything that doesn't match. Including a timestamp in the signature protects against replays. The Standard Webhooks specification describes a common way to do this. Design your receiver to be idempotent, because senders retry on failures and you may get the same event twice. Respond quickly with a `2xx` code and do the heavy work in a background job. In a lead workflow, webhooks connect list building to everything after it: pushing new leads into a CRM, starting an enrichment step, or notifying a sales channel when a monitor finds new businesses. ## Example When a search completes, a webhook posts to an agency's endpoint. Its server verifies the signature, then adds the new leads to a client's HubSpot and posts a summary in Slack. ## In Leadraft Leadraft sends signed webhooks, and also connects through Zapier, Google Sheets and JSON feeds, and direct pushes to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist and HubSpot. ## Sources 1. 1.[IETF, RFC 2104: HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2104) 2. 2.[Standard Webhooks, specification](https://www.standardwebhooks.com/) ## Related terms - [Model Context ProtocolThe Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT connect to external tools and data sources.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/model-context-protocol) - [Lead listA lead list is a set of businesses or people you plan to contact, with the fields needed to qualify them and reach them, such as email and phone.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-list) - [Lead enrichmentLead enrichment is adding missing data to a lead, such as emails, social links, categories or ratings, so it can be qualified and contacted.](https://leadraft.co/glossary/lead-enrichment) ## Further reading - [Integrations](https://leadraft.co/product/integrations) - [REST API](https://leadraft.co/docs/api) ## Every business on the map.

Google Maps matches on the words people search, and each search stops after a couple of hundred results. A business listed as "drain cleaning service" may never appear for "plumber". More of the right words means more of the market. Do I have to use a pack? No. Type any trade. The app suggests related terms for that word, and offers a matching pack underneath if there is one. A pack never replaces the word you typed. Will a broad pack bring in the wrong businesses? Every result is checked against Google's own category for it. Businesses whose category doesn't match the trade are shown, labeled off-topic, and never charged or exported. Do overlapping terms cost extra? No. Many terms find the same business; it's matched by Google's place ID and charged once, ever. ## Start with 500 businesses, free. 50 checked emails included. No card.

Keys are shown once and stored only as a hash. Header ``` Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key ``` A key has every permission a member has, or only `read` if you chose that scope. Read-only keys get `403` on endpoints that start work. ## Base URL Base URL ``` https://app.leadraft.co/api/v1 ``` ## Rate limits 120 requests a minute per key, with bursts of up to 30. Every response carries `RateLimit-Limit`. Over the limit you get `429` with a `Retry-After` header in seconds. ## Errors Errors are JSON with a human-readable `detail`, and sometimes a machine-readable `code`.

"plumber, electrician in Austin" is two searches. Up to 500 lines and 25 different locations per request. | | `name` | body | string | What to call the search. Defaults to its first line. | | `email_required` | body | boolean | Only count businesses that end up with an email. Default `true`. | | `scope` | body | "all" | "near" | "in" | What to count and charge: everything the search returns, inside the location plus `scope_km`, or only inside its boundary. Default `"all"`. | | `scope_km` | body | number | The ring around the location for `near` (0–500 km). Default `25`. | | `region` | body | string (2 letters) | Country that settles an ambiguous place name, e.g. "GB" for Manchester, England. Omit to take the best match on the map. | | `confirm_large` | body | boolean | Required for a location over 20,000 km² (a state or country). Without it, those lines come back in `failed` with code `confirm_large`. Default `false`. | | `fresh` | body | boolean | Search Google again even where saved results exist. Same cost, slower. Default `false`. | | `web_search` | body | boolean | Look up emails by web search where a business's site gave none (Pro and Scale plans). Default `false`. | | `Idempotency-Key` | header | string | Send a unique value to make a retry return the first answer instead of starting the searches twice. | - Returns 201. Keep `group`: it identifies the search for GET /searches/{group} and the `search_group` filter on /leads. - Returns 402 when the organization has no business credits left (or payment is overdue).

Docs · Deliver leads · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Live feeds A private link to a segment of your leads, as CSV or JSON. Paste it into a Google Sheet and the sheet keeps up with your searches by itself. ## Create a feed Open **Export** on any search or on the leads screen, choose **Google Sheet**, pick the segment (which grades, which filters) and name it. You get a link that starts with `lgf_`. It's shown once: the link is the credential, so treat it like a password. Revoking it stops it working immediately. ## Google Sheets Paste this into cell A1 of an empty sheet: Cell A1 ``` =IMPORTDATA("https://app.leadraft.co/api/feeds/lgf_your_feed_token.csv") ``` Google refreshes it by itself, about once an hour. Rows are oldest first, so existing rows keep their place as new leads are added below. ## JSON, for automation tools Swap `.csv` for `.json` to read the same rows from Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable scripts or your own code: Request ``` curl "https://app.leadraft.co/api/feeds/lgf_your_feed_token.json" ``` Response ``` { "feed": "Austin dentists", "count": 702, "truncated": false, "max_rows": 5000, "emails_withheld": 0, "leads": [ { "email": "hello@brightsmile.example", "business": "Bright Smile Dental", … } ] } ``` ## Rules - Up to 5,000 rows per feed (`truncated` says when there are more).

Docs · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Quickstart Create a key, start a search, wait for it, and read every business with a verified email. About five minutes, most of it waiting for the search. ## 1\. Create an API key In the app, open **Settings → API keys** and choose **Create key**. You need to be an admin of your organization. The key is shown once; store it somewhere safe, like an environment variable: Terminal ``` export LEADRAFT_API_KEY="lg_…" ``` A key acts as a member of your organization: it can read leads and start searches. Make a key with only the `read` scope for anything that should never spend credits by starting searches. ## 2\. Start a search A search line is a keyword and a place, the way you'd type it into the app. Each line runs as its own search. Send an `Idempotency-Key` so a retried request doesn't start the search twice. ``` curl -X POST "https://app.leadraft.co/api/v1/searches" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Idempotency-Key: first-search-1" \ -d '{"queries": ["dentist in Austin, TX"], "email_required": true, "scope": "in"}' ``` The response includes `group`, the id of this search, and `failed`: lines that couldn't run, with the reason (for example, a place we couldn't find, or a whole state that needs `confirm_large`). ## 3\. Wait for it to finish Searches run on our servers; you can close the connection. Poll the search every 10 to 30 seconds. It moves from `running` to `finishing` (searching is done; emails are still being found and checked) to `completed`. ``` curl "https://app.leadraft.co/api/v1/searches/g_7f3a9c2e" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key" ``` ## 4\. Read the leads Ask for the search's leads with a Verified email, 500 at a time, following `next` until it's null. You can read leads while the search is still running; new ones appear at the top. ``` curl "https://app.leadraft.co/api/v1/leads?search_group=g_7f3a9c2e&grade=valid&limit=500" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer lg_your_key" ``` ## 5\. What next - Filter by rating, city, category, or whether a business has a phone or website: see the [leads reference](https://leadraft.co/docs/api#list-leads). - Send leads straight to your CRM or a script as they arrive with a [webhook](https://leadraft.co/docs/webhooks). - Keep a Google Sheet in sync with a [live feed](https://leadraft.co/docs/feeds). ## No account yet?

Payload, retries and signature verification. Docs · Deliver leads · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Webhooks Send leads to any URL as JSON: your CRM, a database, n8n, Make or your own code. Every batch can be signed so you know it came from us. ## How it works A webhook is an export destination, like Instantly or HubSpot. Choose **Webhook** when you export a segment of leads, or as a monitor's destination to receive each run's new businesses. We POST the leads in batches of 200. The segment's rules apply exactly as for a file: the email grades you chose (Verified only by default), your do-not-contact list, one row per business. ## Payload Request ``` POST /your/endpoint HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json X-LeadGrid-Signature: sha256=5d1e0c… { "source": "leadgrid", "export_id": 3141, "count": 200, "leads": [ { "email": "hello@brightsmile.example", "email_grade": "valid", "business": "Bright Smile Dental", "category": "Dentist", "phone": "+15125550142", "website": "https://brightsmile.example/", "city": "Austin", "state": "Texas", "country": "US", "in_area": true, "place_id": 48213, "google_place_id": "ChIJ…" } ] } ``` Each item in `leads` is the same record our CSV exports use (the full field list is below). Delivering a Verified email uses a checked-email credit the first time, as with any export. ## Signing and verification In the app, open **Settings → Integrations → Webhook** and generate a signing secret. From then on every request carries `X-LeadGrid-Signature: sha256=`, an HMAC-SHA256 of the raw request body keyed with your secret. Recompute it and compare in constant time; reject anything that doesn't match. You can rotate or remove the secret at any time. ``` import crypto from "node:crypto"; import express from "express"; const app = express(); const SECRET = process.env.LEADRAFT_WEBHOOK_SECRET; // Verify against the raw body, before any JSON parsing. app.post("/leadraft", express.raw({ type: "application/json" }), (req, res) => { const expected = "sha256=" + crypto.createHmac("sha256", SECRET).update(req.body).digest("hex"); const given = req.get("X-LeadGrid-Signature") ?? ""; const ok = given.length === expected.length && crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(given), Buffer.from(expected)); if (!ok) return res.status(401).end(); const { leads } = JSON.parse(req.body.toString("utf8")); // Upsert on place_id: a retried batch can arrive twice. res.status(200).end(); }); ``` ## Delivery and retries - Answer with any `2xx` within 30 seconds to accept a batch. - Network errors and `5xx` answers are retried up to 3 attempts in total, waiting 1 s then 2 s. A `4xx` answer stops the push. - Redirects aren't followed: give us your endpoint's final URL. - The URL must be a public `http(s)` address; private and local networks are refused. - A batch can arrive more than once (a retried or resumed push), so make your handler idempotent: upsert on `place_id`. ## Lead fields | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | Email | | `email` | Best sendable address. | | `email_grade` | valid · catch\_all · risky · unknown. | | `email_confidence` | 0–1. | | `email_role` | e.g. generic (info@), personal, sales. | | `email_source` | Where it was found (website page, sitemap, rendered page, pattern…). | | `email_note` | The mail server's answer, shortened. | | `email_verified_at` | ISO time of the check. | | `free_provider` | true for Gmail, Outlook and similar. | | `email_2 … email_5, email_N_grade` | Other sendable addresses, best first. | | Business | | `business` | Name. | | `category, categories` | Google Maps category and all categories. | | `rating, reviews, price_level` | From the listing. | | `phone, phone_display, phone_type` | E.164, as listed, and line type when known. | | `website, website_platform, website_phones, contact_form` | Site, detected platform, phones on the site, whether it has a contact form. | | `hours` | Opening hours for the week. | | `facebook, instagram, linkedin, x, tiktok, youtube, yelp, whatsapp` | Social profiles found on the site. | | Location | | `address, city, state, postal_code, country` | Address parts; country is a two-letter code. | | `lat, lng` | Coordinates. | | `service_area` | true for a service-area business (no storefront). | | `in_area, distance_km` | Inside the searched area, and km from its boundary (0 inside). | | Identifiers | | `place_id` | Leadraft's lead id (the \`id\` in the API). | | `google_place_id, cid, maps_url, reviews_url` | Google identifiers and links. | | `first_seen, last_seen` | When we first and last saw the listing. | ## Related pages - [Live feedsPull instead of push](https://leadraft.co/docs/feeds) - [REST API reference](https://leadraft.co/docs/api) --- # About Leadraft: Local Lead Lists You Can Believe URL: https://leadraft.co/about Summary: Why we built Leadraft: honest counts, one charge per business, and emails checked against the live mailbox before they count. # Lead lists you can believe Leadraft exists to make local business data honest: in the area you chose, in the trade you asked for, with emails that work. [Start free](https://app.leadraft.co/sign-up) Why we built it We started with a script that pulled businesses off Google Maps for our own outreach. It worked, sort of. It found a few thousand rows a day, half of them duplicates, some in the wrong country, with emails that bounced. Every tool we tried had the same problems, just with a nicer button. They sold rows. We needed leads we could actually send to. So we rebuilt it properly: every business in the area, nothing outside it, every email checked, and one charge per business. That’s Leadraft. The Leadraft team What we fixed ## Every problem we had, and what we do instead The old way Leadraft The same business showed up three times because the tool matched names and addresses as text. Every business is matched by Google's own place ID. One business, one row, one credit, once. Asking for Texas returned businesses in India, because Google guessed where we were. Every result is measured against the area you chose. Wrong-country rows are dropped, and nothing outside your scope is charged. The "email" was often sentry@ or a theme's demo address: the first thing a regex found. Emails come from the business's own site, are scored, and are checked against the live mail server before they count. A search stopped at a couple of hundred results, however big the city. Big areas are split into tiles until each one is exhausted. On one measured run that found twice as many businesses. One crash lost the whole day's work. Searches run on our servers. Close the tab, and pause or resume whenever you like. What we believe ## Rows are cheap. Trust isn’t. ### Honest counts We show you what's outside your area and what's off-topic, labeled, instead of padding the number. Then we don't charge for it. ### Charge once A business costs one credit, the first time, forever. Running the same city again next month costs nothing for the ones you already have. ### Verify before it counts Verified means a mail server confirmed the mailbox. Accept-all is a maybe, never a yes, and we say so. ### Tell people how Our methods, limits and measurements are written down. Where a number comes from one run, we say it's one run.

Legal · Last updated October 31, 2026 # Security and data handling What we do today to protect your account and the data we handle. This page describes how Leadraft protects your account and the data we handle. It is a plain description of what we do today, not a certification. If your security team needs more, email [support@leadraft.co](mailto:support@leadraft.co). ## Your account[#](#your-account) - **Single sign-on and two-factor authentication.** Sign in with Google, Microsoft or your company's identity provider through our authentication partner, WorkOS. Owners can require two-factor authentication for everyone in the organization. - **Roles.** Owners, admins and members see and do different things. Invite and remove teammates from settings. - **Sessions.** See where you're signed in and sign out other sessions. - **API keys** are scoped, shown once, stored hashed, and can be revoked at any time. ## Data in transit and at rest[#](#data-in-transit-and-at-rest) - Everything between your browser, our API and our servers travels over **TLS (HTTPS)**. - Credentials you give us for destinations such as Instantly, HubSpot or Smartlead are **encrypted at rest**, and are used only to push the data you choose. - Webhooks we send are **signed**, so you can check they came from us. - Card details never reach our servers: payments are handled by **Stripe**. ## How we check an email without emailing anyone[#](#how-we-check-an-email-without-emailing-anyone) Verification uses the same first step every mail server uses to accept a message, and then stops: 1. We look up the domain's mail servers (its MX records). 2. We open a connection and ask whether the mailbox exists (`RCPT TO`). 3. We hang up **before any message is sent**. No email ever reaches the person, and nothing appears in their inbox. Read more in [how verification works](https://leadraft.co/methodology/verification). ## Suppression and opt-outs[#](#suppression-and-opt-outs) - **Global opt-outs.** When a business or person asks to be removed through our [opt-out page](https://leadraft.co/opt-out), they stop being delivered to every customer. - **Your do-not-contact list.** Upload emails or domains, and Leadraft leaves them out of every export and push automatically. - **Bounce feedback.** When you send through Instantly, bounced addresses feed back into your suppression list. ## Your data, under your control[#](#your-data-under-your-control) - **Export** your organization's data from settings at any time. - **Delete** your organization and its data from settings. See our [Privacy Policy](https://leadraft.co/privacy) for retention. - Searches and exports belong to your organization. Other customers can't see what you search for. ## Infrastructure[#](#infrastructure) - The service runs on dedicated servers with daily database backups and access limited to the people who operate it \[to confirm: hosting provider and region\]. - Errors are monitored so we hear about problems before you do. - Our providers are listed in the [Privacy Policy](https://leadraft.co/privacy#service-providers-and-transfers). ## Reporting a vulnerability[#](#reporting-a-vulnerability) Found a security issue? Please email [support@leadraft.co](mailto:support@leadraft.co) with details, and give us a reasonable chance to fix it before telling anyone else. We'll reply quickly and keep you updated. ## Other policies - [Privacy Policy](https://leadraft.co/privacy) - [Terms of Service](https://leadraft.co/terms) - [Acceptable Use Policy](https://leadraft.co/acceptable-use) - [Cookie Policy](https://leadraft.co/cookies) - [Remove or correct your business](https://leadraft.co/opt-out) --- # Leadraft Facts: Pricing, Features and Data URL: https://leadraft.co/facts Summary: The facts about Leadraft in one place: what it does, pricing, data fields, integrations, countries and limits.

Full details on the [pricing page](https://leadraft.co/pricing). ## What it does - Finds businesses inside a city, county, ZIP/postcode, radius, drawn polygon or uploaded KML area. - Splits large areas into tiles and searches each one, to go past the limited number of results one Google Maps search returns. - Keeps only businesses inside the chosen area and in the searched trade; the rest are shown free and never exported. - Removes duplicates by Google place ID and charges each business once, ever. - Shows a free, masked preview of businesses already found in an area before anything is charged. - Finds up to 5 email addresses per business on the business's own website, with each address's role and source page. - Checks each email against the live mail server and grades it **Verified**, **Accept-all** (catch-all: "a maybe, never a yes") or **Invalid** (never exported). - Exports about 45 columns per business, including phone, website, address, coordinates, rating, review count, hours and 8 social networks. - Delivers to CSV and XLSX; pushes to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist and HubSpot; Google Sheets and JSON feeds; Zapier; signed webhooks. - Applies a suppression (do-not-contact) list to every export. - Monitors: repeats a search weekly, every two weeks or monthly and delivers only newly found businesses. - REST API v1 and an MCP server for Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients that send an API key. - Teams, roles, SSO and two-factor authentication. ## What it doesn't do - No review text or photos. - No owner names, revenue or employee counts. - No Chrome extension; searches run on Leadraft's servers. - The MCP server doesn't yet work with clients that connect only through OAuth, such as ChatGPT connectors; those can use the REST API. - Leadraft isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Google. ## Measured numbers - 2× more businesses than a plain Maps search: Portland coffee shops: 457 found vs 230 from one search. Measured on one city and one keyword. ([method](https://leadraft.co/methodology/coverage)) - Same ~2,068 searches across Georgia, 20 keywords: 10,082 businesses vs 2,033. One 30-minute run. - ~54% of business websites give up an email.
