How IGBoost.io Achieves <1% Bounce Rate and 2-3% Reply Rates with IGLeads.ai
IGBoost.io, an Instagram growth agency, uses IGLeads.ai to power their cold outreach campaigns. Here's how source-based targeting transformed their lead generation.
KEY RESULTS WITH IGLEADS.AI
The Challenge: Finding Quality Instagram Leads
"Before IGLeads.ai, we struggled with lead quality. Other tools like IGLeads.io gave us profiles based on keywords — which meant getting people who made one random post years ago. The data was stale, bounce rates were high (~5%), and we had no idea where leads actually came from."
Keyword-based tools delivered irrelevant profiles — no control over targeting.
High bounce rates (~5%) from stale data hurting sender reputation.
No transparency on data freshness or lead sources.
Long wait times before being able to start campaigns.
The Solution: IGLeads.ai
"Source-based targeting changes everything. We tell IGLeads exactly which accounts to scrape — competitors in our clients' niche — and we get exactly that. No surprises. We know where every lead comes from, and the data is scraped fresh when we request it."
Source-based targeting = full control
Choose exact competitor accounts. Get followers who are genuinely interested in the niche.
Fresh data = low bounce rates (<1%)
Real-time scraping means emails are current. Massive improvement in deliverability.
Partial downloads = no waiting
Start campaigns while scraping continues. By the time the first batch is sent, more leads are ready.
Full transparency
Every lead shows which source account it came from. Easy to track quality by source.
