The problem it solves

Building a prospect list means scrolling Instagram profile by profile, copying emails by hand, and hoping they're still active. It takes hours and you still end up with bad addresses that bounce.

Who it fits

An agency, freelancer, or sales team building targeted outreach lists.

How it works

  1. Someone enters a niche and location, like dentists in a city
  2. The system searches for matching Instagram business profiles
  3. It pulls the public email from each matching profile
  4. Each email is checked to confirm it's valid
  5. Verified leads are saved to a spreadsheet, with duplicates skipped
What you get

Verified contacts added to your outreach list

You get a spreadsheet of verified Instagram business emails for any niche and city you choose, ready for outreach.

What you get

A clean spreadsheet of verified leads with usernames, emails, and profile links, ready for outreach.

What you need

An Apify account, an email verification service, and an Airtable account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
