I have tried many way.
-Cold calling ( But don't know any proper platform to get good website owner contact info).
-Cold Email marketing ( Got No reply , may be my email list is not good)
-Contact us form submission (that also doesn't work for me, no response)
-Run PPC ads ( Mainly got youtube user and blog user, I don't need blog user and youtube user. I need business websites or Ecommerce sites for doing SEO).

Please advice me anybody how to get good and warm leads.

let's take cold email marketing first
- what email were used? (who)
- what companies and where they are (your city or district or top)
- what they wrote and how
- used personalization (as the name of the company in the subject)
other details

b2b email marketing - here I might be able to suggest
 
Have you tried .... *RANKING FOR SEO RELATED KEYWORDS* like....

"SEO services India" .... try ranking number 1 for that, I wonder if you'll get leads and also prove you walk the walk (and thus get higher conversion). :P
 
Warm Leads through SEO seriously how do you control quality when your traffic is organic.
Focus on traffic which probable the chance of required volume of warm leads.
Cold Calling is dead I had tried number of ways there are many privacy issues.
Cold Mailing better than CC but one should give priority more into personalizing than broadcasting.
PPC seems to be legit way to manipulate but one should keep focus roi on priority.

Then rank for SEO services "Indian secondary city" with less competition.

If you're selling SEO, prove you know how to rank by actually RANKING for keywords.
 
If you're really good at your job, you don't need to look for customers online. Go out, promote businesses and teach them how to attract customers. Local SEO is a market that is easy and yields good returns most of the time. I think give this a try.

I personally only started to get leads once I ranked for my city SEO keywords. Now that I have it is a great selling tool at turning the trickle of leads in to paying customers. I encourage all of my leads to check the rankings of the companies they are thinking of hiring before making a decision. It works wonders :)

I'm also playing around with zopto for linkedin automation, so far I haven't got a deal from it. I've been using it for around 2 weeks.

Also, don't underestimate using a local Google business profile:

You've explored various methods, but it's all about refining your approach. Here's a list to consider: LinkedIn prospecting for business websites. Industry-specific forums for networking. SEO conferences and events. Collaborate with complementary businesses. Utilize B2B directories. Partner with SEO agencies for referrals. Focus on building relationships for warm leads.
 
Generating warm leads for SEO truly comes down to building genuine value and relationships before pitching services. I’ve had the best results combining personalized cold outreach with engaging in niche-specific communities. Tracking responses efficiently also makes a huge difference—Phonexa helped me streamline lead distribution and follow-ups, which boosted conversions. Consistency and trust-building remain key, especially in this competitive space.
 
Increasing high-quality backlinks is a good approach.
 
Honestly, stop blasting cold lists; niche your offer, give a quick site audit or loom vid, then ask happy clients for intros—those warm refs convert way better than random email scrapes.
 
The only way for you to get warm leads is for you to put out content or build some sort of community
 
Honestly, what’s worked best for me is skipping cold emails and focusing on building in public. I share small SEO wins on LinkedIn and Twitter—like a case study of a client who jumped from page 4 to page 1 just by fixing their internal linking. Nothing fancy, just real results. People started DM'ing me asking how I did it. Those conversations turn into warm leads way faster because they already saw proof. Also, join niche Slack or Facebook groups and actually help people answer questions. Don't pitch—just be useful. That consistency brings leads without feeling icky.
 
cold outreach only works when list is really tight not scraped random data
I had better results from niche directories and local business lists then filtering manually

also referrals from small clients close way easier than ads or forms
 
If you ran PPC and got bloggers you probably messed up the targeting big time... likely left search partners on or used broad match. For ecom leads specifically, stop scraping generic lists. I used to scrape BuiltWith for Shopify stores that were missing basic schema or had massive speed issues. Send them a quick 60 second video showing the exact error on their store. It takes more time but actually gets replies. @vijurj08 if you want ecom clients, look at active FB ads. If a brand is spending money on paid social but their organic search is non-existent, they actually have a budget and need the help. Much easier sell than cold emailing dead lists imo.
 
@ricketycricket nailed the BuiltWith angle imo. Thats basically what I do too but I narrow it down more... filter by Shopify stores running active FB/IG ads but with thin organic presence. If they're paying for traffic they have budget and they already understand marketing spend, so the convo is way easier.

One thing nobody really mentioned, your contact form submissions probably failed cause most of those go to a generic inbox or a VA who deletes anything that smells like a pitch. Waste of time honestly. Same with cold calling website owners, half the time the number listed is a gatekeeper anyway.

@vijurj08 the ranking for "SEO services India" thing a few people brought up is solid but be realistic, thats gonna take months and the competition is brutal. I'd start with a smaller city keyword like @N3WY0RK said, rank that first while you do manual outreach with loom videos for quick cash. The ranking becomes your proof later.

Also stop buying email lists if thats what your doing. Scraped lists tank your deliverability and you end up in spam before anyone even reads it.
 
yeah if your ppc campaign brought in bloggers you definitely had broad match turned on or forgot to exclude search partners... that's a quick way to burn budget. for ecom clients specifically, you're competing with a million automated spammers. if you want to stand out with cold outreach, stop sending generic audits. find a keyword their competitor is ranking for, estimate the search volume and average order value, and show them exactly how much money they're leaving on the table. when you put a dollar amount on what they are losing to their competitor, they actually reply.
 
Yeah ranking for "SEO India" is a massive money pit if you are starting out, that keyword is dominated by giant agencies with huge budgets. Not realistic for quick cashflow @vijurj08.

I used to do the BuiltWith thing @ricketycricket mentioned but with a twist. Instead of just pointing out technical errors like schema, I looked for Shopify stores running Google Shopping ads but missing basic on-page SEO on those exact product pages. If they are paying for traffic to a page that has a terrible title tag or no H1, it's an easy sell.

You send them a 2 minute video saying "hey you are paying for clicks to this product but search engines can't read the page, here is how to fix it".

Got way more replies that way than offering a generic audit. Most ecom owners don't want to buy "SEO", they just want to stop burning their ad budget.
