Sales, Marketing & SupportDone with n8n
Find local business leads and send personalized cold emails
An n8n agent scrapes Google Maps for businesses, enriches leads with Owler and Apollo, writes personalized cold emails and logs leads in Google Sheets.
- What They Did
- Two n8n workflows. The first takes a neighborhood and industry, scrapes Google Maps through Bright Data, and saves the raw leads to Google Sheets for review. The second finds each company's Owler profile through a Google Search dataset and scrapes it. It then cross-checks with Apollo, and GPT writes the email, subject and follow-ups. Leads are flagged qualified or disqualified.
- How It Went
- The author reports over 5000 leads a day at a 98% success rate and better response rates than manual research. These figures are self-reported with no breakdown. Early emails read as generic.
- Worth Knowing
- The author says per-lead cost is about $0.005 to $0.02. Getting good emails took repeated prompt tuning, and feeding GPT more company context (industry, size, details) was what fixed the generic tone.
