Start by targeting businesses that are most similar to your happiest and longest-tenured clients. If you're just starting out, imagine your ideal customer—typically small business founders, consultants, or agency owners who struggle to keep up with administrative tasks. Leadsforge helps you find these lookalikes quickly by filtering for business type, size, and geography. Here is why: Companies similar to your best customers are most likely to find your offering valuable, making them much more likely to respond and convert.

To reach a broader but relevant audience, consider contacting the followers of competitor or alternative service providers’ company pages. You only need to provide their company name and website to Leadsforge—this will help you find individuals already interested in administrative solutions. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.

Segment your outreach by industry (accountants, solo consultants, small agencies, e-commerce, professional services), company size (1–50 employees), location (US, UK, Australia), and job role (founder, COO, office manager). Leadsforge makes this segmentation effortless—simply define your criteria and export your tailored list. Here is why: Proper segmentation allows you to personalize messaging, boosting relevance and responses from each campaign.

Prioritize building lists for high-potential verticals like accounting and bookkeeping firms, digital agencies, and consultancy businesses. These industries often have routine admin needs but lack internal resources. Here is why: Starting with these slices lets you quickly validate what works and scale into similar segments.
