## How to use ColdScrape?

Do you need to find business leads in a specific niche?

**Cold Email Use Case**&#x20;

Lets say I run a website development agency who builds high quality websites for plumbers, and I am in need of new clients. I would use ColdScrape to search for all the plumbers in my city. ColdScrape will return all of the plumber businesses with valid contact emails and phone numbers. This way I can download of the email addresses and upload into my cold email platform to send out.

## Lead Generation Workflow Explained

With ColdScrape you can search for businesses in any niche/industry, in any location on planet and the platform will find all available contact information associated with businesses that match that criteria.&#x20;

Here is an example flow of  how it all works:

1. You create a new "Campaign".&#x20;
2. Inside that campaign you have "Searches".
3. Each "Search" is a specific keyword and location.&#x20;
4. There will be multiple "Search Results" in each "Search".
5. Each "Search Result" is a business with at least one "Contact".
6. A "Contact" is an email address that has been found to be associated with that businesses website.&#x20;
7. There can be multiple "Contacts" in each business "Search Result".
8. Export all the "Contacts" into a CSV
