Every plan includes all of them, and one run can use as many as you like — results deduplicate, so overlap costs credits but never appears twice in your export. Each page below is honest about what that source cannot do, because the wrong source for your market is the fastest way to waste a month.
Most niches are well covered by two or three of these. Local trades live on Maps; anything without a storefront lives on the open web; a shop with no site of its own lives on Instagram or Facebook.
Google Maps lists millions of businesses and shows an address, a phone number and a website — but never an email. This closes that gap: the listings come from the Places API, the emails come from the sites those listings point at.
The source that catches everything the platforms miss: businesses that never claimed a map listing, never made a profile, and exist as a website and nothing else.
LinkedIn profiles are the best public index of who does what, and the worst place to find a working email. This uses the first fact and works around the second.
A large share of small businesses are easier to find on Instagram than anywhere else. Instagram gives you the name and the city; the name and the city are enough to find the site that carries the address.
TikTok is where a certain kind of business is discovered and nowhere else — and creators there publish a contact address specifically to be pitched.
For a whole generation of small businesses the Facebook Page is the website. It is often the only public record that the business exists at all.
Yelp's coverage of North American restaurants, bars and local services is deeper than any map product, and its listings are curated rather than self-claimed.
Channels that take sponsorships publish a business address on purpose — usually on the site they point every video at.
For software, media, crypto and B2B services, an X account is often the most current public record a company keeps — and the account name is usually the company name, which is exactly what the website lookup needs.
A narrow source, and worth it in the categories where it works: Pinterest accounts are built to sell something, so the account name is almost always a real business name — which is what the website lookup matches on.
The one platform source where the result is a shop rather than a profile — which means there is always a website to read, and the hit rate shows it.
Run two on the same niche and compare. A search takes about a minute, and the results tell you more about where your market lives than any guide can.
