Me: "How do you build prospect lists today?" Him: "Apollo." I asked: "Why not Google Maps?" His answer surprised me. "Apollo is great once I already know the company.Google Maps is how I discover new companies." That reminded me of something: Prospecting and enrichment are two different problems. Most people mix them together. Curious... What's the first place you look when building a new prospect list?

Most teams don't actually struggle with outreach. They struggle with finding the right businesses to reach out to. Across AI receptionists, lead generation agencies, and cold-calling teams, I kept hearing the same questions: • Where can I find more local businesses? • How do I get accurate emails instead of generic inboxes? • Who is the decision maker? • Can I enrich Google Maps data before outreach? Interesting enough... Almost nobody asked for "more data." They asked for better data. The workflow is evolving: Business Discovery → Decision Maker → Outreach → AI Automation The companies building the best outbound systems aren't necessarily sending more messages. They're starting with better prospect data.

Most people think “Google Maps scraping = data extraction”. But in reality, what works is: 👉 turning maps data into usable business leads. Here’s the workflow I’ve been testing recently: 1. Find a niche (e.g. dentists, HVAC, restaurants) 2. Extract businesses from Google Maps 3. Enrich data (website, email, phone, socials) 4. Filter only reachable leads 5. Export into outreach list Most tools stop at step 2. That’s where most people get stuck. We’ve been using CoreClaw for the full flow: - Maps extraction - Lead enrichment - Email + website discovery - Export-ready lists It basically turns raw Maps data into a cold outreach list. Curious how others are handling the “cleaning + enrichment” step — are you using tools, spreadsheets, or manual filtering?

Interesting pattern we're seeing lately. Over the past few weeks, most of our paying customers have come from home service industries: • HVAC• Roofing• Plumbing• Landscaping• Concrete• Power Washing One customer used Google Maps data to build local prospect lists for home service businesses and converted into paying clients within days. What surprised me is that these businesses are everywhere, but many still have very little outreach automation in place. We've found that a simple workflow works surprisingly well: 1. Identify businesses in a local market 2. Collect contact information 3. Enrich and segment the list 4. Launch personalized outreach For those working in lead generation: Which home service niche has been performing best for you recently? HVAC?Roofing?Plumbing?Or something else?

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 👀
