On this page (15 sections)
You already know who you want to reach. A fitness coach in LA. A marketing agency owner in the UK. A restaurant owner in Vietnam.
The question isn't "who" — it's "how do I find them?"
This guide shows you exactly how to turn your ideal customer into the perfect Scravio search. No guesswork. Just leads.
How Scravio Works: Two Types of Scraping
Scravio uses two different methods to find leads. Understanding this will help you choose the right approach.
Type 1: Profile-Based Scraping
Available on: Instagram (Followers, Following, Hashtag, Likers, Commenters)
How it works: Scravio scans public profiles and extracts emails from bios, about sections, and linked websites.
- Full profile information (name, username, bio, follower count, etc.)
- Email (if publicly listed)
- Profile URL
Email rate: 20-60% depending on your target audience. Not every profile has a public email — and that's normal. Coaches, agencies, and business owners tend to have higher rates because they want to be contacted.

Type 2: Keyword Scraping
Available on: All platforms (Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, X)
How it works: Scravio searches for public content (posts, bios, descriptions) containing your keyword AND an email address. Only results with emails are returned.
Email rate: 100% — every result has an email because that's the filter.
What you get depends on the platform:
| Platform | Data included |
|---|---|
| YouTube | Full profile info + email |
| Full profile info + email | |
| Email, post title, snippet, source URL | |
| Email, post title, snippet, source URL | |
| TikTok | Email, post title, snippet, source URL |
| X (Twitter) | Email, post title, snippet, source URL |

Which Type Should You Use?
| Your goal | Best method |
|---|---|
| Full profile data for personalized outreach | Profile-based (IG) or Keyword (YouTube/IG) |
| Maximum emails, less profile detail | Keyword scraping (any platform) |
| Highest quality, engaged leads | Profile-based: Post Commenters or Likers |
| Fastest results with 100% email rate | Keyword scraping |
Before You Search: Know Your Target (30 seconds)
Before opening Scravio, answer three questions:
- 1. What do they do? (fitness coach, realtor, agency owner, recruiter, e-commerce founder...)
- 2. Where are they located? (US, UK, Vietnam, or anywhere)
- 3. Where are they most active? (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube...)
That's it. Once you know this, finding them is just a matter of picking the right method.
Quick platform guide:
| Your target | Best platform |
|---|---|
| Coaches, creators, influencers, DTC brands | Instagram, YouTube |
| B2B professionals, recruiters, executives | |
| Local businesses, restaurants, services | |
| Content creators, educators | YouTube, TikTok |

Instagram: All Search Methods Explained
Instagram offers the most options. Here's when to use each:
Profile-Based Methods (20-60% email rate, full profile data)
| Method | Best for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Hashtag | Finding people who use industry-specific hashtags | Search #fitnesscoach to find fitness coaches |
| Followers | Finding followers of a popular account in your niche | Scrape followers of @garyvee to find entrepreneurs |
| Following | Finding who an industry account follows (usually peers) | Who does a top agency follow? Other agencies. |
| Post Likers | Finding people who engaged with relevant content | Likers on a viral post about "agency life" = agency owners |
| Post Commenters | Finding highly engaged leads (they took time to comment) | Commenters asking "What CRM do you use?" = warm leads |

Keyword Method (100% email rate, full profile data)
| Method | Best for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword | Finding people with specific words in their bio who have public email | Search "fitness coach" or "DM for collabs" |
Other Platforms: Keyword Scraping
For YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and X — Scravio uses keyword scraping only.
Enter a keyword → Scravio finds public content containing that keyword + an email.
Note
Remember: YouTube & Instagram keyword give you full profile info + email. LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, X give you email + post title + snippet + source URL.

How to Find the Right Keywords
This is where most people get stuck. Here's the formula:
Step 1: What Do They Call Themselves?
Not what you call them. What they write in their bio and posts.
| You think | They write |
|---|---|
| "Personal trainers" | "Fitness coach", "Online trainer", "Transformation coach" |
| "Marketing agencies" | "Agency owner", "We help brands grow", "Full-service marketing" |
| "Real estate agents" | "Realtor", "Helping families find home", "Your local agent" |
| "Software developers" | "Full stack dev", "Building things", "Code & coffee" |
Pro Tip

Step 2: For Profile-Based Scraping — Who Do They Follow?
Find 3-5 popular accounts in your target's industry. Scrape the followers.
Examples:
- Fitness coaches follow: @fitnessbusinesspodcast, @onlinetraineracademy
- Agency owners follow: @garyvee, @hormozi, @agencysavages
- E-commerce founders follow: @shopify, @oberlo

Step 3: For Profile-Based Scraping — What Hashtags Do They Use?
Go to Instagram. Search a hashtag you think they use. Look at "Related hashtags."
Choose hashtags with 10k - 500k posts:
- Too small (under 10k) = not enough leads
- Too big (over 1M) = too broad, lots of spam

Using Country and Language Filters
Scravio lets you filter by country and language. These filters aren't 100% accurate, but they remove 80-90% of irrelevant leads.

Match Your Keyword to the Language
If you're targeting a non-English speaking country, use keywords in their language.
Think about it: A fitness coach in Vietnam doesn't write "fitness coach" in their bio. They write "HLV thể hình" or "PT cá nhân."
| Target | Country | Keyword to use |
|---|---|---|
| Fitness coaches in Vietnam | Vietnam | "HLV", "PT", "gym", "thể hình" |
| Restaurants in France | France | "restaurant", "chef", "cuisine" |
| Marketing agencies in Germany | Germany | "Agentur", "Marketing", "Werbeagentur" |
| Real estate in Spain | Spain | "inmobiliaria", "agente", "pisos" |

Pro Tips for Better Results
1. Choose Method Based on Your Priority
| Priority | Best method |
|---|---|
| Need full profile for personalized emails | Profile-based (IG) or Keyword (YouTube/IG) |
| Need maximum emails, fast | Keyword scraping (any platform) |
| Need highest quality leads | Profile-based: Commenters or Likers |
2. Run Multiple Small Campaigns
Don't scrape 10,000 leads from one source. Instead:
- Run 5 campaigns × 2,000 leads from 5 different sources
- Compare which source gives better results
- Double down on what works

3. Profile-Based: Followers > Hashtags for Quality
Hashtags attract spam accounts. Followers of a reputable account are usually higher quality.
- Need volume → hashtags
- Need quality → followers
4. Profile-Based: Post Commenters = Hottest Leads
Someone who commented is more engaged than someone who just liked. They're already interested in the topic.
Find a viral post in your niche → scrape the commenters → warm leads.
5. For Profile-Based: Target People Who Want to Be Contacted
Some audiences have higher email rates:
Higher rates (40-70%)
- Coaches, consultants
- Agencies, freelancers
- Business owners
- Influencers, creators
Lower rates (10-30%)
- Consumers
- Employees
- Students
- Private individuals
6. Always Preview Before You Scale
Start with 100-200 leads. Check the results. If good, scale up. If not, adjust.
