Hey everyone!
I’m a front-end developer focusing on local businesses. I chose Pest Control as my niche, and I’m generating leads by scraping Google My Business profiles.
Here’s the challenge: When I check these businesses on Facebook or Instagram, their last post is often months (or even years) old. I’m unsure whether it’s worth messaging them—maybe the business isn’t active anymore, and I don’t want to waste time.
My questions:
- Do you still reach out to businesses that seem inactive on social media?
- How do you confirm if a business is actually still operating before you DM them?
- Any tips on verifying active leads would be awesome.
- Also, if you’ve found other profitable niches for local business websites, I’d love to hear your suggestions!
Thanks a ton for any advice!
