Your First 15 Minutes

Follow this checklist to go from zero to your first active campaign:

1. Complete Onboarding

  • [ ] Sign up at leadclaw.io
  • [ ] Enter your business name, type, and location
  • [ ] Add your services and offerings
  • [ ] Chat with the AI to set your communication style
  • [ ] Verify your phone number (optional but recommended)
  • [ ] Review and confirm your profile

2. Choose Your Email Address

  • [ ] During onboarding, pick your @leadclaw.io email prefix (e.g., sarah@leadclaw.io)
  • [ ] Your agent's email address is created instantly — no OAuth or account connection needed
  • [ ] SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are pre-configured automatically

3. Create Your First Campaign

  • [ ] Go to Campaigns > New Campaign
  • [ ] Name it something descriptive (e.g., "Q1 Local Restaurants")
  • [ ] Set a clear goal (e.g., "Book 10 demo calls")
  • [ ] Define your target audience (industry + location)
  • [ ] Set duration and daily email limit
  • [ ] Launch!

4. Monitor & Engage

  • [ ] Check your Dashboard daily for stats and activity
  • [ ] Watch for Hot Lead alerts (activity feed + email/SMS notifications)
  • [ ] Respond to hot leads within 24 hours
  • [ ] Review your Daily Report email each morning (Pro and Ultra plans — upgrade from Settings > Billing)

Tip: Your first campaign will start in warmup mode with reduced volume. This is normal — volume ramps up over 5 days until reaching your plan's full daily limit.
