How Marketing Agencies Use Easy Email Finder to Build Client Lead Lists

The Agency New Business Problem

Every marketing agency faces the same challenge: finding new clients consistently. Referrals are great but unpredictable. Paid ads for agency services are expensive. And cold calling local businesses is time-consuming and often fruitless because you rarely reach the decision maker on the first dial.

Email outreach solves many of these problems. It is asynchronous, scalable, and when done well, it converts at rates that justify the effort. The bottleneck for most agencies is not writing the email or building the pitch deck. It is finding accurate, verified email addresses for the right prospects.

That is exactly where Easy Email Finder fits into the agency workflow.

Step 1: Define Your Ideal Client Profile

Before you search for a single email, get clear on who you want to reach. The more specific your targeting, the higher your response rates will be. Ask yourself:

• Industry vertical: Are you targeting dentists, law firms, restaurants, home services, or something else?
• Geography: Which cities or metro areas do you serve?
• Business size signals: Do you want businesses with websites that lack modern design, or established businesses ready for paid ads?

For example, a digital marketing agency in Austin that specializes in home services might target plumbers, HVAC companies, and electricians within a 50-mile radius.

Step 2: Run Targeted Searches in Easy Email Finder

Open Easy Email Finder and type your search query just like you would in Google Maps. For our Austin home services example, you might search:

• "Plumbers in Austin TX"
• "HVAC companies in Round Rock TX"
• "Electricians in Cedar Park TX"

Each search returns a list of businesses with their website URLs. Easy Email Finder then scrapes those websites in real time to find actual email addresses published on the site. This is not guesswork or pattern matching. These are real emails pulled directly from business websites.

A single search for "plumbers in Austin TX" might return 40 to 60 businesses with verified emails. At $0.25 per email, that entire list costs $10 to $15. Run five searches across different trades and geographies and you have 200 to 300 qualified leads for under $50.

Step 3: Use Quality Signals to Prioritize Your List

Not every business on your list is an equally good prospect. Easy Email Finder provides quality signals that help you prioritize outreach:

• Tech stack detection: If a business is running a basic WordPress site with no analytics, they probably need your help. If they are already running HubSpot and have Google Tag Manager installed, they may already have an agency.
• Social media links: Businesses with no social profiles or inactive accounts are prime candidates for social media management services.
• Google Places data: Rating counts, price level, and business status help you gauge the size and activity level of the business.

Sort your exported CSV by these signals to create an A-list of high-priority prospects and a B-list for follow-up later.

Step 4: Craft Your Outreach Sequence

With your prioritized list in hand, build a three to five email sequence. Here is a framework that works well for agencies:

• Email 1: The value observation. Point out something specific about their online presence that could be improved. Reference their actual website or Google listing.
• Email 2: The case study. Share a brief result you achieved for a similar business in their industry.
• Email 3: The simple ask. Offer a free 15-minute audit or strategy call with no strings attached.

Because Easy Email Finder gives you the business name, website, and category alongside the email, you can personalize each message without additional research. Personalized cold emails see response rates three to five times higher than generic templates.

Step 5: Scale Across Verticals and Cities

Once you have a sequence that converts for one vertical in one city, replicate it. Search for the same business type in neighboring cities. Or expand into adjacent verticals. A sequence that works for plumbers will likely work for electricians and HVAC companies with minor adjustments.

Many agencies use Easy Email Finder to build lists of 500 to 1,000 prospects per month. At $0.25 per email, that is $125 to $250 in list-building costs. If even one or two of those prospects become clients, the ROI is massive. A single local SEO client paying $1,500 per month covers a full year of prospecting costs.

Why Easy Email Finder Beats Traditional Alternatives

Most email finding tools are built for enterprise B2B sales teams targeting companies with hundreds of employees. They work by matching names to company domains using pattern databases. That approach fails for local businesses because the owner's email is often a Gmail or a generic info@ address that no pattern database can predict.

Easy Email Finder takes a fundamentally different approach. It searches Google Places to find real local businesses, then scrapes their actual websites to find published email addresses. This means you get the email the business owner actually checks, not a guess based on first-name-dot-last-name patterns. For a deeper comparison, read our post on Easy Email Finder vs Hunter.io.
