The grey lines are merge-field versions for a whole list: the fields match the 67Leads CSV columns company, city, rating and review_count. Text in [brackets] is yours to fill from the business itself.

How the lines are written

Each line states only what you entered: the business name, its trade and city, its Google rating and review count, and whether its listing has a website that loads. Nothing is added about the business that you did not give, and anything only you can know, such as what you saw on its site, is left in [brackets]. Every line shows the facts it uses so you can match it to the rows that have them.

67Leads holds the same fields for every business it lists: company, trade, city, rating, review_count, and whether the website is missing or did not load when checked. So the merge-field versions fill straight from an export.

Questions

What is a good icebreaker for a cold email?

One true, specific fact about their business, such as their review count or that the listing has no website, said in one sentence before you say why you wrote.

Can I personalize cold emails at scale?

Yes, from data fields. A line built on rating and review_count fills from a CSV for every row; sort rows by the fact a line needs so it is always true.

Should I mention a bad rating in a cold email?

Carefully. Talk about what helps, such as replying to reviews, rather than the number.

Where does 67Leads get the rating and website status?

From public business listings and each company's own website, checked when the row is refreshed.
