Lead generation for social media agencies

The best social media clients already believe in social — they just can't keep up. Here is how to find them.

Three kinds of prospects

  1. Advertisers with stale creative — the Facebook Ad Library shows how long ads have run. Months-old ads suggest nobody is producing new content.
  2. Local businesses with strong reviews but weak socials — Google Maps lists include Instagram and Facebook links; open a few and look for inactivity.
  3. Creators and coaches — growing audiences on YouTube and Skool who need help repurposing content.

Build the lists

  • Facebook Ad Library scraper: keywords from your niche, active ads only, filter by ad count and age.
  • Google Maps scraper: niche + city, filter Has Instagram and Rating 4.5+.
  • YouTube scraper: creators who upload long videos but have few Shorts.
