Dental offices, real estate agents, home services companies. Building a targeted prospect list for local B2B outreach is different from SaaS sales. Here is the approach that works.
Step by step - from nothing to a verified list of 100+ local contacts
Search your target type + city in Google Maps: "dental offices Seattle" or "real estate agents Austin TX". Click each result, copy the website URL. Aim for 50-100 companies. This takes 20-30 minutes and costs nothing. You now have a domain list.
Paste domains into a CSV. Run Rova. It visits each site, extracts the owner/contact name, email, phone, LinkedIn URL, company description, and HQ address. 50 companies takes about 4 minutes. Output is a clean CSV ready to import into any sequencer.
Rova uses Hunter.io verification automatically. If you want an extra pass, run the output through NeverBounce or ZeroBounce. Target under 3% bounce rate. For local businesses, expect 70-80% of emails to verify - smaller companies have more reliable contact pages than enterprise.
Rova returns a company description for each business. Use that to write a specific first line: "Noticed your practice focuses on cosmetic dentistry - our clients in that space..." is better than "I wanted to reach out about your business." The description data is what makes personalization fast.
Upload the CSV to Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, or just Gmail. Local business owners have lower cold email volume than enterprise buyers - a well-targeted email from a real person stands out more than you might expect.
