FAQ
Which filter should I start with?
A pre-built filter if one matches your niche. Otherwise Company Keywords, Industry or AI Company Search to define the company, then Job Title.
What's the difference between Company and People location filters?
Company Country, State and City target where the business is based. People Country, State and City target where the person says they live. For most B2B offers, use the company filters.
I can't find the Region, Company Name or AI Data Stream filter.
They are not in the current filter panel. Select several countries in Company Country instead of a region, paste company domains into Include Companies instead of searching by name, and use Buying Intent for intent data.
Do filters use credits?
No. Searching, filtering and checking counts are free. Credits are only used when you export.
