Start from the buyer
Ask who signs the cheque for what you sell — then go where that person's business is listed.
| If you sell to… | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Local service businesses | Google Maps | Widest local coverage, Maps rank, phones checked for line type |
| Restaurants, home and beauty services | Yelp | Review-driven listings with owners, ratings and years in business |
| Companies that sell to consumers online | Trustpilot | TrustScore, review growth, reply rate and the owner |
| Creators and channels | YouTube | Subscribers, last upload, business emails |
| Businesses that already pay for ads | FB Ad Library | Active advertisers and their websites |
| New startups | Product Hunt | Fresh launches with founders and makers |
| Startups with revenue | TrustMRR | Verified MRR, growth and the founder |
| Communities and coaches | Skool | Members of communities you belong to |
Match the signal to the offer
- Review management → Yelp ratings, Trustpilot reply rate, Google reviews
- Ads and creative → FB Ad Library (already spending) or Trustpilot shops
- SEO and websites → Google Maps rank, businesses without a site
- SaaS tools and services → TrustMRR revenue bands, Product Hunt launches
- Sponsorships and UGC → YouTube channels by niche and size
Use more than one
Local niches overlap across Google Maps, Yelp and Trustpilot — combine them for coverage. Startup sellers often pair Product Hunt (new) with TrustMRR (growing).
Everything works the same way
Every source returns a list you can filter (including has email and has first & last name), export, or send to GoHighLevel, Instantly, Smartlead and lemlist — and every one costs one credit per lead.
