Real talk: I used to pay for ZoomInfo, Apollo, and a couple of other lead databases. Combined cost was pushing $400/month. Then I realized that for local business leads specifically, Google Maps has everything I need — and you can pull it all out with the right tool. Here's what Google Maps gives you for free (publicly available data): - Business name - Phone number - Website - Full address - Star rating + review count - Business hours - Business category That's literally the same data I was paying Apollo for. The difference is Google Maps is updated constantly by the businesses themselves, so the data is often more accurate than third-party databases. The tool I use to extract it: Coreclaw Google Maps Scraper. Takes about 5 minutes to pull a full city's worth of businesses in any niche. My current workflow: 1. Scrape a niche + city combo (e.g., "personal injury lawyers in Houston") 2. Export to CSV 3. Filter out businesses with websites that look modern and well-maintained (they probably already have good marketing help) 4. Focus outreach on businesses with: no website, or a website that looks like it was built in 2010, or fewer than 10 reviews 5. These are the easiest conversations — they already know they have a problem I've completely replaced my paid lead database subscriptions for local outreach. The only thing I still use Apollo for is SaaS/tech company prospecting where Google Maps doesn't have coverage.

I built a tool called CoreClaw that helps scrape targeted local business leads from Google Maps. You can pull: ✅ business names ✅ emails ✅ phone numbers ✅ websites ✅ social profiles ✅ reviews & ratings Good for: • local SEO • cold outreach • agency prospecting • lead generation • niche + city targeting Right now I’m looking for real feedback from people actually doing outreach or local client acquisition. So I’m giving community members:💰 1,000 free local business leads to test All I ask: 👉 try it 👉 break it 👉 tell me what sucks / what’s missing / what would make it actually useful If your feedback gets implemented, I’ll happily give you more lead credits 👍 Just comment or DM me with: • niche • city/location Example: “roofers in Dallas” “dentists in Miami” “realtors in Chicago” Curious to see what kinds of local lead workflows people here are running 👀

Most generic lead databases are outdated fast. A Google Maps scraper gives you fresher local business data because it pulls from real local listings. For agencies and marketers, this is useful when targeting: • Dentists • Roofing companies • Realtors• Attorneys • Insurance agencies • HVAC companies • Local service businesses The strongest workflow I’ve seen: 1. Pick a niche 2. Pick a city 3. Extract Google Maps leads 4. Filter by website, reviews, and contact info 5. Run personalized cold outreach 6. Example: “Roofing companies in Chicago”works much better than a broad business list. Has anyone here tested niche + city targeting? 👉Get 1000 free sales leads

Finding local business clients is getting harder. Most generic lead databases are overcrowded and outdated. Lately I’ve been testing: • Google Maps prospecting • Local SEO workflows • Cold outreach systems • Niche + city targeting Interesting finding: Highly localized leads convert much better than broad B2B lists. Example: “Dentists in Miami” beats generic business lists almost every time. I’ll be sharing more local lead workflows and experiments here.
