SocLeads now scrapes emails from Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google Maps across entire countries ππ§
Geo-filters. More results. No code needed. π
@islam_midovΒ Currently, we support lead sourcing and search filters for Facebook, Instagram, Google Maps, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok.
Weβre also continuously working on expanding our enrichment capabilities. In the future, weβre planning to add additional resources specifically tailored for the real estate industry.
@snxzyΒ Thanks! The biggest difference is speed. Instead of spending hours manually searching profiles and collecting contacts, users can quickly find relevant leads, validate emails, and move faster to actual outreach.

hmmm, scraping emails from social platforms and maps sits in a legal gray area in many regions. How are you thinking about compliance with GDPR and platform ToS?
@yymmhhΒ Great question. SocLeads only provides access to publicly available online data and doesnβt act as a compliance automation tool. How users export and use that data is their own responsibility, so we always recommend following GDPR, platform ToS, local regulations, and proper opt-out requirements.
Congrats on the launch, Evgenii! The geo-filtering for full country search sounds like a real time-saver -city-by-city grinding is exactly the kind of pain that kills outreach momentum.
how does SocLeads handle GDPR/compliance for EU-based leads, especially from LinkedIn and Instagram? Curious how teams use it for European markets.
@olia_nemirovskiΒ SocLeads provides access to publicly available online data, but weβre not a compliance automation tool. For EU leads, customers are responsible for how they export and use the data, including lawful basis, outreach rules, opt-out handling, and platform ToS. Most teams use SocLeads for discovery and segmentation, then handle compliance inside their CRM/outreach workflow.

2,480 contacts per search with under 3% bounce rate is solid if the data is actually fresh. what's the average age of the emails you're pulling, like are these scraped in real time or cached from older crawls
@tina_chhabraΒ Good question. SocLeads is not a static lead database. We pull data from publicly available online sources based on the userβs search, instead of selling old cached lists. Before export, emails also go through validation, which helps keep bounce rates low and filter out outdated or invalid contacts.

Congrats on #1, Evgenii. The geo search caught my eye.
I built a few small scrapers for personal/hackathon projects years ago, one was around correlating Twitter activity with location and time during hurricane season. Even at that small scale, the messy part was not scraping itself, but getting useful enough results without drowning in noise.
For SocLeads, when someone runs a big geo search, is the bigger challenge usually finding enough contacts, or helping them avoid too much irrelevant data?
@danush_singlaΒ Thanks! Youβre absolutely right. The main challenge is usually not finding enough contacts, but reducing noise and keeping the results relevant. With big geo searches, SocLeads focuses on helping users narrow results with keywords email validation, so they get a more usable list instead of just a huge messy export.

@gorns Interesting. That sounds like the point where SocLeads becomes more of a search problem than a scraping problem.
Iβm asking because when I built small scrapers before, the result quality depended a lot on whether I actually knew what I was looking for upfront.
With SocLeads, do users usually come in with a clear target already, or do they often change direction once they start seeing the results? And in that case, does the product help guide them toward a better search, or is the user fully in control of that process?
@danush_singlaΒ Some users come with a very clear ICP, while others start broader and refine once they see the results. SocLeads keeps the user in control, but the filters, geo options, and email validation help guide them toward a cleaner and more relevant lead list instead of just dumping raw data.

Was literally trying to build something like this for my dating app outreach. This saves so much time. Great product.
