Does LocalVein export email addresses for cold outreach?

No. LocalVein exports business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, review counts, opportunity score, and (on Growth/Pro) phone line type. Email addresses are not part of the dataset — bring your own email finder (Hunter, Apollo, Clay) if your campaign is email-first, or use the phone data for direct call and SMS sequences in Instantly.

How does the Reply Tracking BCC column work in Instantly?

Every CSV export includes a per-business BCC address (reply+ @ ). When you send a campaign in Instantly, BCC that address on each personalized message. If a recipient replies, our Gmail poller picks up the reply by token and attributes it to the originating business in your LocalVein account. It's optional — skip it if you don't need cross-tool reply attribution.

What's the right way to personalize cold emails using LocalVein data?

Reference the live custom variables in subject lines and first lines. Example subject: '{{company}} — your {{reviewCount}} Google reviews vs competitors.' Example first line: 'I noticed {{company}} has {{reviewCount}} reviews on Google — your top three competitors in the area have between 35 and 80.' The specificity comes from real per-business data; that's what separates 1% reply rates from 10% reply rates.

Should I send the same sequence to every lead in the export?

No. Segment by opportunity score. Score 70–100 (high opportunity): aggressive 4-step sequence — call + voicemail + email + LinkedIn. Score 40–69 (medium): standard 3-step email-only sequence focused on the specific gap. Score under 40 (low): skip or de-prioritize. Different sequences per tier outperform a single blasted sequence by 2–3x reply rate.

Which LocalVein plan do I need to use the Instantly workflow?

Any paid plan (Core, Growth, or Pro). All paid plans include CSV export and full phone numbers. Growth and Pro additionally include phone line-type intelligence (mobile vs landline vs VoIP), which lets you split a list into 'call list' (mobile) and 'email-only list' (landline) for cleaner sequencing. The Free plan does not include CSV-CRM exports.

How to Use LocalVein With Instantly.ai for Cold Outreach

What You'll Need

A LocalVein account (any paid plan for CSV export; Free plan doesn't include CRM exports)
An Instantly.ai account (Basic or above for campaign sends)
10 minutes for the initial setup

Step 1: Export Your Leads from LocalVein

After running a scan in LocalVein:

Click Export → Generic CSV (the Instantly-compatible format)
The CSV includes: business name, address, phone, website, rating, review count, vulnerability score, and — if you have Growth/Pro — line type

The export also includes a Reply Tracking (BCC) column with a unique BCC address per business. If you're sending from a custom domain and want reply attribution tracked back to LocalVein, BCC this address in your Instantly campaign. Replies will automatically sync to your LocalVein account.

Note: LocalVein exports phone numbers, not email addresses. Bring your own email finder (Hunter, Apollo, etc.) if your outreach is email-first, or use the phone data for direct call and SMS sequences in Instantly.

Step 2: Import into Instantly

In Instantly, go to Leads → Import Leads
Upload the LocalVein CSV
Map columns to Instantly fields:
- businessName → Company
- phone → Custom variable (for personalization — or your primary dial field)
- rating → Custom variable
- reviewCount → Custom variable
- vulnerabilityScore → Custom variable
- website → Website
Add a tag localvein-[vertical]-[date] to the imported leads for easy filtering

Step 3: Set Up Personalization in Your Sequence

The vulnerability score and review count become powerful personalization variables. In your Instantly sequence, reference them:

Subject line options:

{{company}} — your {{reviewCount}} Google reviews vs competitors
Quick question about {{company}}'s online presence

First line options:

I noticed {{company}} has {{reviewCount}} reviews on Google — your top three competitors in the area have between 35 and 80.
{{company}} doesn't appear to have a website — I know that sounds basic, but it's costing you Google traffic.

This level of specificity is only possible because LocalVein pulls live data — not scraped-months-ago static information.

Step 4: Segment by Vulnerability Score

Don't send the same sequence to all leads. Segment by vulnerability score tier:

Score 70–100 (high vulnerability): Aggressive 4-step sequence. Call + voicemail + email + LinkedIn if available. These are businesses with the most to gain — they respond to directness.

Score 40–69 (medium): Standard 3-step email sequence. Focus on the specific gap (reviews, website, or line type insight). Less urgency, more value.

Score under 40 (low): Skip or de-prioritize. These businesses are relatively healthy — your pitch is harder, and the lifetime value potential may not justify the time.

Tips for Better Campaign Performance

Warm up your mailboxes first. Instantly's built-in warmup works, but give new mailboxes 3–4 weeks of warmup before sending to LocalVein lists. Cold lists from a new domain = high spam risk.

Lead with the insight, not the pitch. Your first email should be 80% insight, 20% CTA. "Here's what I found about your online presence" outperforms "I help businesses like yours grow" every time.

Keep sequences short. 3 steps max for this audience. Local business owners are busy — if they haven't responded after three touches, they're not interested right now.
