Finding Competitors for Local Plumbing Services and Automation Tips

How do you guys find 2 competetors for a local plumbing company? The 2 competetors should be from the same area (for example - I have domains with zip codes in a specific area so I need 2 competetors in that zip code). How can I automate this at scale?

To find two competitors for a local plumbing company in the same area and automate the process at scale, you can use our Google Maps integration and Semrush integration in Clay. Here's how: 1. Use the Google Maps integration to search for plumbing companies in LA, CA: • Set the location to Los Angeles, CA • Choose "Plumber" as the business category • Adjust the search radius as needed 2. Use the "write to table" feature to store the results 3. Utilize the Semrush integration to find competitors: • Input the websites of the plumbing companies you found • Semrush will return an array of competitors in paid search To automate this at scale, create a workflow that repeats these steps for different locations. This approach will help you efficiently identify local competitors across multiple areas.

Hey there,
Yes, you could use other tools to find competitors, and Claygent could help find domain-specific competitors in a local area.
However, I'd still recommend SemRush because the quality of data is very reliable. Instead of casting a wide net, consider sending fewer, more targeted emails by doing some filtering before adding the SemRush enrichment.
If you want alternatives, searching "find competitors seo api" on Google will show options like Spyfu, and SE Ranking that might be more budget-friendly.
Let me know if you have more questions
