Use Manus to build a target-company lead list

A researcher used Manus to find HVAC, roofing, and plumbing firms that matched revenue and ad-spend filters, then checked the results by hand.

What they did
They gave Manus a research brief asking it to look across several states for HVAC, roofing, and plumbing businesses, including heat pump specialists, that met specific revenue and lead-generation spending thresholds. Manus worked independently, pulling information from chamber of commerce listings and industry publications, along with revenue estimates, marketing spend, and contact details for decision-makers.
How it went
After about 35 minutes, it returned just three leads and consumed nearly 90% of the free credits. Some data was hidden behind login walls, so the output still needed human review.
Tips
Expect to verify details yourself when sources sit behind sign-in screens. Keep an eye on credit usage: the free tier can be used up quickly on a single deep search, and access also needs an invitation code.
