SocLeads Reviews

We use Socleads for targeted b2b prospecting when we need contacts in a particular niche or location. I like that the setup is simple as you choose the source, define the search and review what comes back. It doesn’t replace thoughtful targeting, but it cuts down the manual work involved in building a prospect list.

The built in email verification is the part I appreciate most. Before sending a campaign, I want a cleaner list and fewer questionable addresses. SocLeads lets me find contacts and check the emails within the same workflow, which saves a separate step. I still review the final list myself, but the process feels organized and much less tedious than checking everything manually.

I wish there was a add your team member functionality. I also wish there was a white label option. I am still testing the software but so far I see these two missing functions as potential issues.

Bought this to work in junction with a couple of other email lead generators to ensure I get quality leads. The reason for the rating is quite simply that another reviewer mentioned that the software is not GDPR compliant which is a concern. If it is I certainly did not see it mentioned when I bought Socleads

My first AppSumo purchase for a while and unfortunately an almost instant refund.

I like the idea, a lot. But the execution fails to save enough time to make it worth paying for, for me personally. This is an MVP, and long-term investment at best.

For the social side, the keyword search is too basic, and appears to fail to go any deeper than popular profiles. Pages I know exist with identical keywords used were not found (with or without 'exact match' checked). This suggests it's not live scraping, is based on purchased lists of popular pages, or there is a limitation that is not disclosed. This will potentially be this tools USP, so it HAS to do a better job here.

The scraping is not comprehensive enough. It appears to be a surface scrape, with no inner-workings that recognise when further scraping is required.

Overall this means searches inside the social channels and / or an advanced Google search will likely offer as much or more, with more results and key data. The time saved with SocLeads with the quick searches is lost given the time needing to complete the limited data it finds.

I don't like giving low reviews, due to the immense value that many AppSumo deals offer. But if there is real intent to make this tool something more, they are here too early.

From half a days testing, I can tell you this tool won't survive outside of here as it is. I say that from a lot of experience. It could have real potential if this is just the starting point, with the intent and investment to make it much more. But it needs a lot of work. I could spend an hour telling them what is needed to begin to make this tool competitive outside of here.
