Hey everyone👋 Quick question for those doing local outbound.
We’re testing different ways to scrape Google Maps to find local businesses (plumbers, electricians, med spas, Health care institutions, clinics etc.) and I’m curious what’s working best in practice, not just on landing pages.
Specifically:
- Are tools like LeadSwift or IGLeads actually reliable long-term?
- Has anyone compared them with Outscraper or Apify Google Maps actors?
- For emails: Do you need extra enrichment for that or tools do the work for you?
Main goal: Clean local lists (name, website, email) that are safe for outbound.
Would love to hear:
- What stack you’re using
- What you’ve tested and abandoned
- Any gotchas to avoid
Appreciate any insights 🙏
