Proxies for lead generation, explained
Lead generation is one of the most common jobs people buy proxies for, and getting it right saves hours of blocked requests and wasted spend. Here's our up-to-date ranking of the providers that handle it best.
Directories and networks limit lookups per IP, so proxies keep prospecting pipelines running. The main blocker is Rate limits and blocks on directories that cap profile lookups per IP., and the right proxies neutralise it. For this, residential proxies tend to work best — real IP addresses assigned by internet service providers to home users, which makes them harder to detect.
Pro tip: Rotate residential IPs and throttle request rates to harvest contact data without tripping directory defenses.
