Best Platforms for Finding Contacts from Google Maps Scraping

Was wondering what platform (other than Apollo, ZI) people use to find people at company when scraping google maps for target accounts? I’m using Google maps because a lot of companies (home services) I target won’t have a huge LI presence (which is one of the main upsides of using Google maps according to clay). When I try finding people using clay’s “find people at company” it only returns 1 owner for over 40 companies so data accuracy seems way off or I’m doing something completely wrong lol Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What persona are you trying to find? Have you tried Claygent?

Trying to find 3 separate personas:
1.
Owner/Founder/Executives
2.
Sales Directors and up
3.
Marketing managers and up
I currently do this with Apollo but I use other platforms for contact data (email + phone number) and am trying to use Google maps API to find target accounts so it seems like the only thing I would be using apollo for is finding people. If I can do that accurately/effectively through clay or another more accurate data source (that provides email data if not clay) then I could scrap Apollo from my stack and invest that $$ into better platforms.

Use Claygent with 4o mini

use the ai prompt helper to write a super detailed and specific prompt, use 4.1 mini. you're aiming to get a lead list returned as structured JSON that you can pop out to another table and then run through apollo or a provider inside of clay to enrich emails etc... google "clay university claygent" and "clay universtiy write to other table" 🙂 good luck!

Was able to get some of the data you mentioned with a scrappy claygent test. Was currently figuring out (failing) how to write it to another table. Going to take a look at those tutorials and give it another go.

Guys I’m building an API that connects Sales Navigator to Clay and handles job title variations with AI. DM me if you want to give it a try :) P.S: you don’t need to connect your LinkedIn account
