Selling search engine optimisation and local search services to web designers

Web designers are often freelancers or small studios who build and look after sites for local businesses. They buy hosting, tools and outsourced development, and they choose partners who make them look good in front of their clients.

SEO agencies often find clients by spotting businesses with weak search visibility and reaching out with a specific observation. Keeping those prospects in your own lead database lets you record what you noticed about each site and follow up at the right moment.

The web designers that need search engine optimisation and local search services are listed publicly. What most SEO agencies lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What SEO agencies run into with web designers

Your audit notes per prospect are scattered over documents and spreadsheets.

Add custom fields and notes to every record, so the finding you want to mention sits next to the contact.

Many small business websites list no email address.

Email from domain turns the website into role addresses such as info@ and hello@ without credits.

Web designers find their own names in footers and get many partnership mails.

A short, specific message sent in small batches stands out more than a long pitch.

Freelancers rarely list an email address and use hello@ on their own domain.

Email from domain with hello@ ticked gives you a likely address to test.

Questions people ask

Can I collect web designers from footer credits?

You can gather the sites yourself and paste the page HTML into paste and collect, which turns repeating blocks into rows. Riftjaw does not crawl the web on its own.

Are hello@ addresses for web designers verified?

No. They are likely addresses built from common patterns. Test with a small batch and watch the send log.

How do I get email addresses for web designers in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as hello@, info@, studio@ and design@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
