Clay newbie here. I’m working on a B2B lead gen project for a gutter business (example leads: owners and project managers at construction companies), but it has been very difficult to find them just through Clay as many of these people don’t have LinkedIn. Are there any integrations, features, or other things I could use to find these leads from other sources, and how would I do that?
Yes, Clay offers several ways to find construction business leads who aren't on LinkedIn: 1. Google Maps integration is perfect for your use case. You can scrape Google Maps to find local construction businesses and their contact information. This works especially well since local businesses actively maintain their Google listings to receive service calls. 2. Website scraping with Clay's Chrome Extension lets you extract lead information from construction company websites, industry directories, or association pages. 3. For smaller construction companies without LinkedIn presence, use the Google Maps integration to search for companies in specific cities, then enrich them using the SMB recipe, and find work emails using the Work Email waterfall. Clay integrates with 10+ prospecting sources and 75+ data enrichment tools, giving you multiple options beyond LinkedIn to build your construction industry lead list.

Hey! Totally makes sense—construction can be a tough industry to source from LinkedIn alone. Here’s a quick video showing how to use Clay’s AI agent to find more people at these companies, even if they don’t have LinkedIn: https://cln.sh/pHgLKqxZ This approach searches the web more broadly, helping you uncover owners and project managers from other online sources. Step by step: 1. Run a lookup in your people table to spot missing values 2. Click "add enrichment" (top right) 3. Pick Claygent > Select GPT 4o 4. Create a metaprompter: "Find me the {roles} at {company} who are currently working there - I need their linkedin.com/in URL, full name and job title. Get as many as possible. Leave empty if none found" 5. Choose JSON output and generate to get results as a list 6. Add a run condition so it only runs when the lookup is empty 7. Use "write to other table" to send new finds to your people table (send: full name, job title, linkedin.com/in URL, and company domain) 8. Then you can enrich them Tip: Feel free to flag missing data via row left-click > leave feedback for our team to fix.
