The Problem

An r/coldemail post: first-time campaign for a hyper-niched local SEO/AEO agency. Agency wants personalization; solo operator can't burn time on per-prospect manual research.

The Scavio Solution

Instantly Growth ($30-47/mo) or Smartlead Basic ($39/mo) for sending + Scavio for per-prospect research (~$0.005-0.02/prospect) + warmup discipline + per-vertical opening templates. Hyper-niched openings outperform generic templates by a wide margin.

Before

Generic templates → low reply rate; manual research per prospect → unscalable.

After

Per-prospect research auto-pipelined; sender stays disciplined on warmup; hyper-niched opening lines drive reply rate up. Cold start to first response in ~2-3 weeks of disciplined sending.

Who It Is For

Solo agency owners, freelancers transitioning to agencies, niche-vertical specialists running outbound for the first time.

Key Benefits

  • Either Instantly or Smartlead works at entry tier
  • Scavio fills the per-prospect research gap
  • Per-prospect research cost ~$0.005-0.02
  • Discipline on warmup matters more than tool brand
  • Hyper-niched openings significantly beat generic

Python Example

Python
import requests, os
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}

def research(prospect_domain, prospect_name):
    s = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', headers=H, json={'query': f'site:{prospect_domain} latest news'}).json()
    a = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', headers=H, json={'query': f'{prospect_name} 2026', 'include_ai_overview': True}).json()
    return {'site_news': s.get('organic_results', [])[:3], 'ai_overview': a.get('ai_overview')}
