Where to buy business leads.
You can buy business leads from a data broker, a raw scraper or a live scrape. A broker sells rows it already holds; a scraper leaves the cleaning to you, and only 36.8% of listed numbers in Leadity's Q3 2026 Google Maps data are mobiles. Leadity scrapes when you order and bills only leads that pass, from $0.0032 a record.
"From" is the price on the biggest plan. A smaller plan pays more per credit.

Who sells business leads?
Three kinds of seller.
A data broker
Sells rows from a list it already holds. Ask when each row was last checked.
A raw scraper
Sells you the tool. The rows are fresh, and the cleaning is yours: repeats, other trades, office lines.
A live scrape
Leadity searches Google Maps when you order and bills only records that pass your filters.
How do the three kinds of seller compare?
| Seller | How fresh | Who pays for bad rows | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| A data broker | As fresh as its last update | You, unless it refunds them | Broad national lists |
| A raw scraper | Fresh when you run it | You: every row is billed | Developers and data teams |
| A live scrape like Leadity | Read the day you order | Nobody: a lead that fails a filter is never billed | Sales teams that call, text or email |
How much of a raw business list is usable?
About 37 in 100 listed phones in a raw Google Maps sweep are mobiles: 36.8% in Leadity's Q3 2026 Google Maps data (1 July to 30 September 2026).
33.4% of the numbers are landlines and 25.6% VoIP lines, so a list sold as owner phones needs a line-type check.
15.1% of the businesses list no phone at all. A lead that fails the order's filters is never charged.
35.9% of the businesses show no website, which matters if you sell by email. Source: Leadity's Q3 2026 Google Maps data (1 July to 30 September 2026), read 20 October 2026.
A seller that bills every row passes that waste to you; a seller that bills only passing rows absorbs it.
What should a business lead include?
The columns a Leadity list carries. Ask any seller for the same, and for when each row was read.
| Column | What fills it |
|---|---|
| Company name | The name on the Google Maps listing. |
| Phone number | The number on the listing, plus its line type (mobile, landline, VoIP or toll-free) on any order that filtered by it. |
| Owner name | With the owner lookup: a confirmed name, or no charge. |
| Address, city, state, ZIP | As shown on the listing. |
| Timezone | Local time zone, so you call during business hours. |
| Category | The trade it was found under. |
| Website | The business's own site, or none. Aggregator pages such as Facebook or Yelp are dropped, not counted as a site. |
| Rating and review count | Stars and number of reviews today. |
| With the email filter: the email from the business's own site, and on a verified order its check result. | |
| Scraped at | When we read the listing. Nothing is older than your order. |
| Google Maps link | Check any listing in one click. |
What should you check before you buy business leads?
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How fresh is it? | Ask when each row was read. Every Leadity row carries the time we read the listing. |
| What kind of phone? | An office line rings a counter. A cell phone rings a pocket. Ask if each number is checked. |
| Who pays for bad rows? | With Leadity, a lead that fails your filters is never charged. |
| Repeats | Nearby searches overlap, so one business can show up many times. Ask if repeats are removed. |
| The rules | Calling and emailing have their own rules. Check them before you buy. |
| A sample first | Look at real counts before a big order. Our scraper preview shows them, free. |
What do 1,000 business leads cost at Leadity?
By what you ask for.
| Lead | Credits | For 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Business record | 0.2 | From $3.20 |
| Verified mobile | 1 | From $16 |

| Verified mobile with the owner's name | 3.5 | From $56 |
| Email only | 1 | From $16 |
Price for 1,000 delivered leads. 'From' is the price on the biggest plan. A smaller plan pays more per credit. Every rate is on the pricing page.
Limits of any bought list
A number ported to another carrier keeps its old block, so no line-type check is right for every number.
A list cannot tell you who answers the phone. A mobile on a small business's listing is often the owner's own phone, not always.
Leadity does not scrub lists against any do-not-call registry. That step is yours.
Is buying business leads legal?
Buying a list of businesses is common. What you do with it has rules: calls to cell phones, the Do Not Call Registry and email each have their own.
The FTC's guidance for sellers says most calls to a business made to sell to that business are exempt from the Do Not Call provisions. Calls to cell phones and state rules can still apply.
Nothing here is legal advice. Ask your own lawyer. Our TCPA risk checker is a checklist before you dial.
Questions about buying business leads
Where can I buy business leads?
You can buy business leads from a data broker, a raw scraper or a live scrape like Leadity. A broker sells rows it already holds, and a scraper sells a tool whose cleanup is yours. Leadity builds the list from Google Maps when you order, from $0.0032 a business record, and bills only leads that pass.
How much do business leads cost?
Business leads at Leadity cost from $3.20 for 1,000 business records on the biggest plan. With a checked cell phone they cost from $16, and with the owner's name as well from $56. A lead that fails a filter you bought is never delivered and never billed, so you pay only for usable rows.
Are bought business leads any good?
Bought business leads are as good as the seller's checks. Ask how fresh the rows are, whether phones are checked and who pays for bad rows. Only 36.8% of phones listed on Google Maps are mobiles, in Leadity's Q3 2026 Google Maps data (1 July to 30 September 2026). Our lead quality grader scores a list.
Can I buy business leads for one trade in one city?
Yes, you can buy business leads for one trade in one city at Leadity: pick the trade and only the ZIP codes of that city, or a whole state, province or region. The list holds only the areas you pick, across 47,786 postal codes in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
How fresh should a business lead list be?
A business lead list should be read as close to the day you call as possible, because businesses open, close and change numbers every month. Ask each seller when every row was read. Every Leadity row carries the time its listing was read, and lists are built the day you order.
What is the difference between a lead broker and a lead scraper?
A lead broker sells rows from a list it already holds, as fresh as its last update. A lead scraper sells you the tool: the rows are fresh, and the cleaning, de-duplication and phone checks are yours. Leadity is a third kind, a live scrape that bills only records passing your filters.
Is buying business leads legal?
Buying business leads is common, and what you do with them has its own rules: calls and texts to cell phones, do-not-call lists and commercial email each have theirs. The FTC says most sales calls to businesses are exempt from its Do Not Call provisions. Ask your own lawyer; this is not legal advice.
Buy only the leads that pass.
Pick a trade and an area. Set your filters. Pay only for leads that pass.
