Frequently asked questions
What is agency prospecting?
Agency prospecting is the process of finding and qualifying potential clients for your agency. For local-focused agencies, this means identifying businesses in specific cities and industries that show signals of needing your services.
How do agencies prospect for local clients?
Agencies use a combination of city and industry search, website analysis, review data review, and contact research to build targeted prospect lists.
What tools do agencies need for prospecting?
A local prospecting platform for discovery, a CRM or spreadsheet for organization, and an outreach tool for campaign management.
How many prospects should an agency target?
Aim for 20-50 qualified prospects per week. Quality matters more than quantity — a targeted list of 20 well-researched prospects outperforms a broad list of 500.
