Scraping emails from local search results to email????

Hello all,

This may be an odd question and I'm not even sure if it's possible seeing as I don't usually do this type of stuff.

But Lets say I have a targeted offer for doctors. Has anyone ever scraped local search results for the emails? ie. "doctors orlando" "doctors detroit"

Then taken the huge list of emails and compiled them in to something like aweber and sent a mass message?

I'm sure the response rate would not be high but I have a pretty targeted offer. The idea sounds too good to be true....

  • Cold emailing like cold calling isn't always well received but ...

    If you do decide to move forward with this, be aware, companies like Aweber would be none too pleased with a scraped list.

    In fact a scraped list is mostly not your best choice.

    Perhaps hire a virtual assistant on Fiverr to spend an hour or so and go through local search and get snail mail addresses and test your offer that way.

    Then if snail mail turns a profit why risk the ire of the spam police, just keep using snail mail.

    A good offer is a good offer no matter how it's delivered.

    • First, yes, what you've described works. There's a big WSO out now for a scraper that does just what you describe very efficiently - search on "top gun live" or something similar to find it. Chris Ramsey also has a scraper, as do others.

      Second - I agree completely with Doug. Make a good offer, a very good offer. Don't just say, hey, I'm here and I do work. Offer website repair, or a video eval, or manage their ppc for a week, or a free press release, etc.

      A good offer will pull 1-3% responses over cold email in my experience. Then do whatever you offered and make sure you schedule a call or appointment to review it with them. In the review, give them next steps and close.
