Instantly sends the emails. LeadsByLocation finds who to email.
This isn't a 'versus' comparison. Instantly and LeadsByLocation solve different halves of the same problem. Here's how they work together.
If you're an agency using Instantly to send cold emails to local businesses, you've probably noticed the platform solves the delivery problem brilliantly — but doesn't help much with the targeting problem. You know how to send 1,000 emails a day. The question is: who should those emails go to?
Instantly sends cold emails. LeadsByLocation finds the local businesses worth emailing. Website quality scores, PDF audit reports, and outreach angles — then export to Instantly and send.

- Website quality scores (0-100) for every business
- PDF audit reports for cold outreach
- Auto-generated outreach angles based on website issues
- Filter for businesses with no website at all

Frequently asked questions about Instantly vs LeadsByLocation
Is LeadsByLocation a replacement for Instantly?
No. They do different things. LeadsByLocation finds and qualifies local business leads with website scoring, audit reports, and outreach angles. Instantly sends cold emails with warmup, rotation, and deliverability optimization. Most agencies targeting local businesses should use both — LeadsByLocation for the leads, Instantly for the outreach.
Can I export leads from LeadsByLocation directly into Instantly?
Yes. Export your qualified leads as a CSV file from LeadsByLocation, then import that CSV into Instantly as a new campaign. The export includes business name, contact info, website score, and outreach angles — everything you need to build personalized email sequences.
Why can't I just use Instantly's Lead Finder for local businesses?
Instantly's Lead Finder is built for B2B prospecting — finding decision-makers at companies by job title, company size, and tech stack. It's not designed to search 'plumbers in Phoenix' and tell you which ones have bad websites. For local business prospecting, you need a tool built for that specific workflow, which is what LeadsByLocation provides.
