I’m running a proprietary search for small service businesses. I’m looking for a reliable VA or researcher who can help generate owner-level leads from specific industries and geographies. Most of these businesses won’t be in Apollo or Lusha, so I need someone who’s comfortable doing manual research, including: - Searching Google/Maps/D7/Data Axle to identify all companies in a target region - Using Secretary-of-State databases to find owner names - Looking at websites or other sources to find direct owner emails (not info@) I've tried Upwork, but most "lead gen experts" only know how to bulk scrape Apollo/ZoomInfo, and aren't willing to do the manual work needed for small, blue-collar businesses. If you’ve worked with someone good (or are someone who can do this), I’d really appreciate a recommendation or referral. Happy to pay fairly, I just care about accuracy and follow-through. Thanks!
