The Problem
Indie AI agency owners ask Reddit weekly: 'how do I find leads without paying for Apollo or ZoomInfo?' The answer in 2026 is a stack: SERP for company discovery, Reddit for buying signal, plus a tiny script that scores and dedupes. The bottleneck is the data layer — a multi-platform search API replaces the three single-purpose tools and keeps the cost under $30/mo for a solo operator.
How Scavio Helps
- SERP for company discovery without dashboards
- Reddit for live buying signal
- Single credit pool for the whole pipeline
- Plugs into n8n, Claude Code, or LangChain
- Affordable enough for a solo operator
