Run location specific ppc ads to collect leads and build your email list.

The quality is mostly high in these compared to scraping or any other source.

okay, i will try this. my problem is no budget to start, though i want to get clients.

I'm starting by helping clients with GMB ranking and maybe social media...

If I want to start helping clients run ads I feel like I need to start not on their own dime so going to probably start by offering them services for GMB rankings and social media management- and if that goes well maybe offer to run ads for them!

Let me know if any suggestions for that. Appreciate that feedback above

If those are the services you're looking to promote scraping data from local business directories, fb places, gmb etc & then cold calling them will help.

Exact method I have been using for last 10 years to promote my web & digital marketing services.

Hiring a smart & soft spoken professional female cold caller definitely converts better.

and then i should personally do a video appointment with them to close (like set a meeting for the next day?)

Yes video calling is good but if you can personally meet them that's much better.

Being a foodie I personally love cafe appointments with snacks & beverages.

And personal meetings do make these businesses trust you more.

Remember always make your potential client feel they are buying not that you're selling.

I learnt this from some movie in my twenties.

I'm looking to pick up some local small-time service clients, and wondering if it will be an option to find emails so i can blast cold email outreach with a local service offer (landscaping, handyman, plumbing etc etc etc)
