How to Find Leads from Businesses Actively Running Ads

How to Find Leads from Businesses Actively Running Ads — For Cheap

Hey everyone, I just came across this strategy and it’s honestly one of the most powerful ways I’ve seen to find high-quality leads without spending a ton or buying sketchy lists.

If you offer any kind of service (like web design, SEO, automations, etc.), this can be gold.

Here’s how it works:

1. Use the Facebook Ad Library:

Meta makes all running ads public, so you can search by niche (like "roofing" or "home cleaning") and see who’s actively spending money on ads. That’s already a strong buying signal.

Search here: Facebook Ad

2. Scrape the Ads Using Apify:

Use this ready-made scraper on Apify to collect over 1,000 ads in a niche for just $0.75. You’ll get the Facebook Page URLs for each business.

3. Clean the Data with ChatGPT:

Paste the data into ChatGPT and ask it to remove duplicates so you’re not contacting the same business twice. It’s super fast and saves on scraping credits.

4. Get Contact Info from Their Facebook Pages:

Use another scraper (also on Apify) to visit each Page and pull emails, phone numbers, websites, and other public info. Most of it is accurate because it's customer-facing.

The total cost? Around $4–5 for 300+ verified business contacts. These are real businesses, spending money, and easy to niche down (like just roofers, medspas, gyms, etc.)

Let me know guys if you want this system fully automated or need help setting up lead gen like this for your own niche. Happy to help 🙌
