Build a country-specific email list without guessing addresses
You have a product to promote in one market, and a mailing list that has nothing to do with it. Buying lists is risky, and guessing addresses wastes time. GSA Targeted Email Finder takes a different approach: you give it a keyword and a country, and it searches for matching email addresses and builds a list for you.
Quick facts
- Version: 1.64
- Platform: Windows. Mac and Linux users run it through Parallels, Wine or a virtual machine.
- Price: $65.00
- Trial: a demo version is available to try before you buy
- Updates: several updates per month
Key features
Find emails by keyword and country together
You pick two criteria: a topic keyword and the country the addresses should come from. The program then runs the search for you, so the list stays relevant to the market you care about.
Get a list within minutes
The vendor says the program generates an email list within minutes. Setup is just choosing the two parameters and starting the search.
Send a message to the collected addresses from the same program
You can send a message to the addresses you collected directly within the program. You don't need a separate tool to get from list to first mailing.
Mouse-driven, simple to operate
Everything is done with simple mouse clicks, so there is little to learn before you get a first result.
Who it's for
It suits small business owners and marketers who want a narrow, country-based contact list and prefer a simple desktop tool. If you want broader crawling with more settings, GSA's own forum shows that the company also offers Email Spider, which has an option to resolve the country for each email.
