over the past two weeks i built a cold outreach pipeline and scraped 798 marketing/SEO agency websites across 54 countries to extract their contact emails. the original plan was to pitch them my outreach service. that got me 343 pitches and 0 customers.
so i'm pivoting. the data itself has value.
what's in the list:
how i built it:
dead simple python script. requests + regex. for each agency i hit 3-5 URL paths (homepage, /contact, /contact-us, localized variants). extract emails, filter false positives (image filenames, tracking pixels, CMS artifacts). the filter list has 30+ patterns now.
hit rate varies wildly by region: AU/NZ 75%, UK 70%, Southeast Asia 70%, India 65%, US/Canada 60%, Latin America 45%.
why $19:
i spent two weekends scraping this. if you're doing agency outreach — for partnerships, sales, or market research — this saves you 40+ hours of manual work. seemed fair.
the list is a CSV. instant download. no subscription.

smart approach. the market validation piece is everything — build for a specific person with a specific problem and the product almost sells itself.
the honest posts always perform better than the polished ones. people connect with struggle more than success. keep sharing the real numbers.
great work shipping this. my advice: make it as easy as possible for someone to say yes to you. free trials, samples, low price — remove every barrier.
