We’re looking for an experienced Lead Generation / Web Research Specialist to build a highly accurate list of 1,000 college consulting and college admissions consulting firms in the United States. This is a quality-first project. We are not looking for a scraped list of loosely related businesses. Every company must meet our criteria and the information provided must be accurate and up to date. Target Companies We are specifically looking for firms that: Are based in the United States Provide college admissions consulting, college planning, or related college consulting services Have more than 3 employees Are legitimate, currently operating businesses Are not duplicates Examples of the types of companies we're looking for: Plan On College — planoncollege.com Empowerly — empowerly.com Collegewise — collegewise.com Information Required for Each Lead For every company, we need: Company name Website City & State Company size / estimated number of employees Primary company email address Founder/Owner/CEO name, when available Founder/Owner/CEO email, when available LinkedIn company page Instagram Facebook Other relevant social media profiles If a particular social media account or contact detail does not exist, it should be marked accordingly rather than guessed. Compensation This is a pay-per-qualified-lead project, NOT an hourly project. We are willing to pay a premium for someone who can deliver quickly, accurately, and with minimal supervision. At the same time, we do not have an unlimited budget, so we are looking for the right balance between speed, experience, accuracy, and cost per lead. A lead will only count toward the final total if it meets the qualification criteria above. When Applying, Please Include: How quickly can you deliver all 1,000 qualified leads? What would you charge per completed/qualified lead? What tools and methods will you use to find and verify the companies and contact information? How will you verify that each company has more than 3 employees? What level of email verification/accuracy can you provide? Have you completed similar lead-generation or company research projects before? Please provide an example if possible. Please also include the word “COLLEGE” at the beginning of your proposal so we know you read the entire job description. All proposals without required answers will automatically be rejected Important We will likely start with a small paid test batch before assigning the full 1,000-lead project. If the quality is strong, there may also be ongoing lead research work available after this project. We value accuracy over inflated lead counts. If you are confident you can find, verify, and organize 1,000 companies that genuinely meet these criteria, please submit your proposal with your timeline and price per lead.
