Did you ever user a web search email extractor for cold-emails?

Hi. Did you ever use etc. results from Google search to extract emails and send some cold-emails. What are the results? What is the average conversion?

There are many but I found omail.io as a useful tool... still not use it for cold emails

    If you're wondering if they work for growth, then my guess would be yes, if applied properly.

    But you're posting in "Ideas and Validation"... so are you looking to build your own?

      Yes, I'm looking to check experiences and is possible to take etc. 10000 from Google search for a specific industry (etc. London hotels, or London travel agents) and try to convert into some subscribers to services

        I think it could work. I would pay for a service like that if the email could come with really good context, ranking, and filtering.

        Eg. Say I search in your product for "London hotels". I want to get a list of emails back with

        • generic emails removed, or ranked lowly (eg. Support@somehotel.com)
        • what url the email was extracted from
        • a possible name associated to that address, and some surrounding text so I can determine for myself if the name is a good possibility
        • information about the company/website

        So a "good" result would be

        John.smith@londonhotel.com
        Probable name: "John Smith" (determined from text "please email our CEO John Smith for any concerns at john.smith@londonhotel.com")
        Url: Londonhotel.com/contact
        Company: LondonHotels.com is the website of XYZ hotels based in London, England

          well, for something like that you can use hunter.io

    I did. The domain is ruined and zero conversion for my services.
    On product works differently, my friend who used to runs an eBay shop he used to extract email online using specific keywords on google and spamming people, but still low conversion and it was a long time ago. Today your domain would be banned. Consider that’s why shared hostings are so cheap because the IP is ruined by spammers, I strongly recommend to rend a private server and start a serious SEO strategy and works so much better.
    Trust me, I always want the short way and there's no in this case.

      What if i use MailChimp to send email or personal gmail account ?

        Mailchimp is not so stupid, will ban your account for suspect activities. Consider that spam gets a lot of "flag this domain" "flag this email address" they constantly monitor this. (Gmail, well enjoy one by one sending).
