Quick Answer: To run a LinkedIn outreach campaign targeting web development agencies in Australia, first build and refine your prospect list in Origami, then launch a 3-touch sequence directly from Origami’s built-in LinkedIn sequencer (included on all paid plans). Craft messages that speak to agency pain points like client delivery pressures, talent scalability, and margins, then let the sequencer send connection requests, follow-ups, and a soft close with configurable delays — no exporting, no CSV juggling. This guide gives you the exact copy to paste.

This post assumes you’ve already built a list of Australian web development agencies using Origami. If you haven’t, read the companion piece: how to build a list of web development agencies in Australia first. That walk-through shows you how to describe your ideal customer in plain English and get back verified names, emails, phone numbers, and company details — all from a single prompt. Here, we’re going to make that list work for you with a real-world LinkedIn outreach campaign.


Step 1: Build the List in Origami (Recap)

Even if you’ve already exported your list from the parent post, a quick recap helps set the baseline. In Origami, you start by typing a prompt like:

“Find decision-makers at web development agencies in Australia with 10–50 employees, using React or Node.js, located in Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane. Include founders, technical directors, and heads of delivery.”

Origami’s AI agent then searches the live web, chains multiple data sources, enriches every contact, and qualifies them against your description. Within a few minutes you get a clean prospect list that includes:

  • Full name, verified email, LinkedIn profile URL
  • Job title, company name, company size
  • Tech stack indicators (e.g., React, AWS, Figma)
  • Location (city-level, often suburb)
  • Sometimes more: recent job postings, funding rounds, or tools they use

No credit card required to start. Origami’s free plan gives you 1,000 credits, enough to build and export a solid list. Paid plans start at $29/month, and the LinkedIn sequencer itself is free on those plans — you’re only paying for the enrichment credits you consume.

If you’re coming from the parent post, you already have your list. Open it inside Origami’s dashboard; we’ll refine it in the next step.


Step 2: Refine and Qualify Your List for LinkedIn

A raw list of 200 agencies is just a starting point. You need to narrow it down to the people who are most likely to respond — and most likely to become customers. Here’s how I approach that for Australian web dev agencies.

Remove the obvious bad fits

  • Wrong geography: Even within Australia, if your product or service only makes sense for metro agencies, filter out regional towns (unless you’re targeting them intentionally). Origami returns city-level data, so just sort the “Location” column and delete rows you don’t want.
  • Too small / too large: Micro-agencies with 2–5 people often don’t have dedicated decision-makers or budget. Agencies over 200 people might be more enterprise and harder to reach with a short sequence. I usually keep the 10–150 employee band for my own campaigns.
  • Irrelevant services: Origami sometimes surfaces agencies that do more marketing than web development, or that focus on SEO/PPC rather than custom builds. Skim the company descriptions and prune the ones that don’t build web apps.

Segment for message relevance

This is where you’ll see the biggest lift in reply rates. Break your list into buckets and you can tailor your templates (or let Origami’s AI agent do it). Common segments for Aussie web dev agencies:

  1. Founders / Owners of small agencies (10–30 people). Their pain: wearing too many hats, unpredictable pipeline, wanting to land bigger clients without hiring more PMs.
  2. Technical Directors / CTOs. Their pain: picking the right stack, managing tech debt, onboarding new developers quickly.
  3. Heads of Delivery / Project Managers. Their pain: juggling 10 client projects, missing deadlines, scope creep.
  4. Agencies using a specific stack (e.g., all the React shops vs. the WordPress shops). The message changes a lot — toolkit pain points are real.

Origami often enriches with technology data, so you can filter by tech stack directly in the dashboard. Create a segment for “React & Node.js agencies” and another for “Shopify/WordPress agencies.”

What “qualified” looks like for this audience

A qualified lead is not just anyone with the right title. For web dev agencies, I look for:

  • Recent LinkedIn activity in the last 30 days — the person is actually present on the platform. Origami doesn’t provide activity timestamps natively, but you can cross-reference manually or look for clues in their title (e.g., “actively hiring,” content creators).
  • A decision-maker with budget authority — founders, technical founders, directors. Avoid junior devs unless you’re selling a tool aimed directly at them; even then, the gatekeeper can block you.
  • Located in a city with a strong tech ecosystem — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide all have agencies, but Sydney/Melbourne is where most of the money moves.
  • Indications of growth — hiring ads, new office, expanding services. Those signals mean they’re likely to invest in tools or services.

At this stage, your list might shrink from 200 to 80 high-fit contacts. That’s fine. Quality over quantity. You can always expand later.


Step 3: Create the LinkedIn Sequence

Now we get to the core. In Origami, you have two ways to build the sequence.

Option 1: Paste your own templates. Write your 3-touch message copy, drop it into Origami’s sequencer, set the delays between touches (e.g., Day 1, Day 3, Day 7), and hit “Launch.” You can use personalization tags like , , ``, and even custom fields if you’ve added notes.

Option 2: Let the AI agent write it for you. Ask Origami to generate a personalized 3-day LinkedIn sequence based on each lead’s profile data — title, company, industry. The agent crafts messages that feel custom because they pull in real context (e.g., “I saw uses AWS and React — we’ve been helping teams like yours…”). This is a huge time saver, and you still review and tweak before launch.

Below, I’m giving you the full templates I’d use for an outreach campaign aimed at selling a B2B platform or service to Australian web development agencies. The copy is written for a fictional “we help agencies improve X,” but you can swap in your specific value prop. Each message is under 100 words, direct, and references real pain points.

The 3-Touch LinkedIn Sequence (Copy-Paste Ready)

Segment: Founders of small-to-mid agencies (10–80 people)

Day 1 — Connection Request Note

Hi , came across — love what you’re building with the team. I know running a dev shop in Sydney/Melbourne means balancing delivery, new business, and margins. We help AU agencies like yours reduce client churn and win bigger projects without adding headcount. Worth connecting?

Day 3 — Follow-up Message

Hey , thanks for connecting. One thing I hear from agency founders is that scaling client work while keeping the team from burning out is a constant fight. We’ve helped a Melbourne-based dev agency add 40% more project throughput without extra hires — same team, better tooling. Happy to share a short case study if you’re curious.

Day 7 — Final Message

, last note. I’m running a few sessions next week showing how agencies like yours are cutting onboarding time for new clients by 30–50%. If you’d like a 15-minute walkthrough, grab a slot here [link]. No pressure if the timing’s off — just thought it might be useful.

Segment: Technical Directors / CTOs

Day 1 — Connection Request Note

Hi , noticed works with React/Node.js — respect for what you push out. As a tech lead in an agency, you’re probably the one who ends up fixing messy handoffs between design and dev. We’ve built something that automates a lot of that grunt work. Would love to connect and hear what stack you’re running these days.

Day 3 — Follow-up Message

, I’ll keep it brief. Since we connected, I remembered that a Brisbane-based dev lead told me their biggest time sink was recreating frontend components because specs changed mid-sprint. Our tool syncs live designs to production-ready code — real time. Want me to send over a 2-minute video showing how it works?

Day 7 — Final Message

, one more thing — we’re rolling out a free audit that benchmarks your current dev-to-production pipeline against agencies of similar size. Takes 10 minutes and you’ll get a report you can share with the team. Interested? Just reply “audit” and I’ll set it up.

Segment: Heads of Delivery / Senior PMs

Day 1 — Connection Request Note

Hi , juggling 10+ clients must be wild. I’ve seen how even the best PM tools can’t stop scope creep from burning margin. Our platform gives agencies real-time visibility into project health — so you catch overruns before the client ever sees them. Worth connecting, I think.

Day 3 — Follow-up Message

, thanks for the connection. Quick thought — a Sydney agency you might know was losing 15% margin on fixed-price projects because change requests slipped through. After they started using our system, that dropped to under 3%. I can share the exact before/after numbers if you’re open to a quick chat.

Day 7 — Final Message

, I know you’re busy. If you’ve got 15 minutes next week, I’ll show you how three delivery leads in AU web agencies have cut project overruns by half in 90 days. No sales pitch, just a live demo and a takeaway framework. Here’s my calendar: [link]. Cheers.

Feel free to mix and match lines between segments. The important thing is to keep the language specific to Australian web dev agencies — mention real cities, real challenges, and real tooling where possible.


Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami

This is where Origami stands apart. After you’ve refined your list, you don’t export it to another tool. You stay inside Origami and launch the LinkedIn sequence from the same dashboard where your contacts live.

How the sequencer works

  1. Select the contacts you want to sequence (the high-fit segments from Step 2).
  2. Choose your templates — either your pasted copy or the AI-generated ones.
  3. Set the delay between touches. For web dev agencies, I find a cadence of Day 1 (connection request), Day 4 (follow-up), Day 8 (final note) works well. Decision-makers are busy, so giving them a couple of extra days reduces friction.
  4. Hit “Launch.” Origami’s built-in LinkedIn sequencer then automatically sends the connection requests and follow-up messages according to your schedule. It respects LinkedIn’s rate limits so your account stays safe.

Sending and tracking inside one platform

As soon as the sequence is live, you’ll see activity right next to each contact’s profile:

  • Opens and clicks — see who viewed your note or clicked the link.
  • Replies — when someone responds, that contact is automatically removed from the sequence. You’ll never accidentally send a “breakup” message after a prospect has already booked a meeting.
  • Prospect context — while looking at a contact’s activity, you can still see their enriched profile data: title, company, tech stack, location. That means when you reply to a warm message, you know exactly why you reached out in the first place. No scrambling through CRM notes.

Expected response rates and iteration

For well-targeted lists of Australian web development agencies, I typically see:

  • Connection acceptance rate: 25–35% (founders/CTOs often higher than PMs)
  • Reply rate once connected: 8–15%
  • Meeting booked: 3–6% of the total list

These aren’t hard rules. If you’re new to LinkedIn outreach, start with a smaller batch (50 contacts) and see how the messaging resonates. If reply rates are below 5%, iterate on the copy before scaling up. Often, a small tweak like swapping “case study” for “a video walkthrough” can double replies. If connection rates are low, revisit your list — maybe you’re targeting people who aren’t active on LinkedIn or whose titles don’t match decision-making authority.

The key advantage with Origami is you can run these iterations fast. Edit the template, re-launch on a fresh segment, and compare results side-by-side without ever leaving the platform.
