If your ICP is mid-market tech companies, enterprise software buyers, or you need work emails for VPs of Engineering at Series B startups, Apollo is the right tool.
If your ICP is local small businesses (restaurants, contractors, salons, dentists, retailers) you'll find Apollo barely indexes them and the businesses it does have lack the local context (reviews, ad detection, site health) that actually predicts who'll buy from you.
Apollo's database is built around tech-company employees with LinkedIn profiles, so it largely misses local small businesses (plumbers, restaurants, salons, contractors) that don't have a strong B2B identity.
