Why marketing agencies are worth prospecting
Agencies are both buyers and resellers. Many need a steady stream of local business leads — which is exactly what Prospect Cheap supplies.
Where to find marketing agencies
Almost every marketing agency has a Google Business Profile, so Google Maps is the most complete public directory of marketing agencies there is. Prospect Cheap searches it live — the same results a customer sees — then visits each business website to add emails, the owner's name, phone details and social profiles.
Search terms that work well:
| Search term | Source |
|---|---|
| marketing agency | Google Maps |
| digital marketing agency | Google Maps |
| SEO agency | Google Maps |
| social media agency | Google Maps |
Who to contact
At most marketing agencies, the decision-maker is the agency founder or managing director. Prospect Cheap looks for that person's name on the business website and public profiles and gives each owner match a confidence score, so you can write to a real person instead of "info@".
What marketing agencies buy
- White-label services (SEO, ads, web)
- Lead lists and outbound tools
- Reporting software
- Contract talent
If you sell any of these, a targeted list of marketing agencies is the fastest way to fill your pipeline.
Filters that surface the best leads
- Small agencies (founder decides)
- Website present
- LinkedIn found
Every list has quick filters and a full filter panel, so you can narrow thousands of results to the few hundred that fit your offer before you export anything.
How to build a list of marketing agencies
- Open the Google Maps scraper and choose Bulk keywords. Add "marketing agency", "digital marketing agency", "SEO agency" — one per line.
- Pick the country, then a city, state or region. Search several cities at once to cover a whole area.
- Set how many results you want per keyword. You only pay for leads you get; a failed search costs nothing.
- When the list is ready, use the quick filters (small agencies (founder decides); website present) to focus on the best prospects.
- Export to CSV, or straight into an Instantly or GoHighLevel import file.
Each lead includes business name, category, address, phone (with mobile number and carrier where available), website, every email found, the owner's name and title with a confidence score, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and TikTok links, rating, review count and Maps rank.
A first email that fits
{FirstName}, most agencies we talk to in {City} fill their pipeline from Google Maps lists — want to see a sample list for your niche?
Keep it short, mention something specific to the business, and ask one easy question. Variables like {FirstName} come straight from the export columns.
Good to know
Also find agencies through the Facebook Ad Library — many run ads for themselves.
What it costs
Prospect Cheap charges one credit per lead, and a search that fails costs nothing. A list of 500 marketing agencies uses 500 credits. The Starter plan includes 10,000 credits a month for $29, and every new account gets 100 free credits to test with — no card needed.
