The Problem

MOST COLD EMAIL
TARGETS THE WRONG COMPANIES

If a company is running Meta ads, they are actively paying to acquire customers. That means they have a marketing budget, a sales process, and a decision-maker who understands ROI. Targeting companies with zero ad spend is a completely different conversation.

72%
Wasted Outreach
The majority of cold email sequences hit companies with no ad spend and no active sales cycle. They get replies like "not interested" or nothing at all.
$0.02
Cost to Check
The Meta Ad Library is public. SearchAPI gives you programmatic access. At scale you pay about two cents per lead check. A rounding error on any sequence budget.
4x
Reply Rate Lift
Active Meta advertisers understand paid channels, respond to ROI framing, and are already in buying mode. The qualifier changes who you pitch, not just how.

Live Qualifier

WATCH IT QUALIFY

API Response

WHAT SEARCHAPI
ACTUALLY RETURNS

One GET request. Pass the company name, filter by active status and US reach. The response tells you how many ads are live and when they were last seen. n8n reads ads_count — if greater than zero, the lead qualifies.

A LEAD QUALIFIES

Qualified leads land in a Saleshandy sequence built specifically for active Meta advertisers. Every touch references their ad spend, making the outreach feel relevant instead of generic. The sequence stops automatically on reply.

The Math
You are spending $20 on API calls to generate $213K in pipeline. The qualifier is not a nice-to-have. It is the cheapest filter you will ever run on a cold list.
Josh Leavitt
From Our Founder

"The single biggest waste in cold email is sending a generic sequence to a company that has never spent a dollar on advertising. They don't have a marketing budget. They don't have a decision-maker who thinks in terms of ROI. You are pitching to the wrong room. The Meta Ad Library is public, the API is cheap, and the filter takes two seconds per lead. There is no excuse for not running it."

All lead data, company names, email addresses, and API responses shown in this demo are simulated for illustration purposes. Actual Meta Ad Library results depend on advertiser page names, regional availability, and Meta platform policies. SearchAPI.io, Google Sheets, n8n, Saleshandy, and Meta are independent platforms with their own pricing and terms of service. Omni Online Strategies builds the automation infrastructure. Results vary based on list quality, industry, sequence copy, and market conditions.
