🏢 Company Name Search · How to Find Customers When You Only Have a Name

🌟 Core goal: With customer "company names" only (no websites), this tool reverse-lookups their official website, emails, and decision-makers with one click.

🗺️ Best fit? Foreign trade pros with customs data, trade show directories, industry rosters, or a fresh list of company names from Google — but no contact info.

🔍 Approach 1: Single Company Lookup (for quick checks)

If you only have a handful of company names, just type into the search box — the system will autocomplete.

Steps:

1. Enter the keyword: Type a company name in the search box (e.g., apple — no need for the full name).
2. Smart dropdown: The system surfaces matching "company name + domain" candidates. Click the best match.

3. Get contact info: The full company profile opens on the right. Click the 📧 Email tab to get decision-maker emails.

💡 Avoid this trap: don't skip "unknown" emails!

When saving emails, strongly recommend checking both "Valid" and "Unknown". Per heavy user testing, over 70% of real inquiries come from "Unknown" emails. Saving only "Valid" emails costs you most of the opportunities!

📦 Approach 2: Batch Lookup (for Excel lists)

If you have hundreds or thousands of rows in Excel, don't go one by one — batch them and you're done in 5 seconds.

Steps:

1. Copy the list: Open your Excel and copy the "Company Name" column.
2. Create a batch task: Click Batch Search next to the search box → pick the Company Name tab → paste the list (one company per line, up to 10,000 per run).
3. One-click reverse-lookup: Click + Create Task. In seconds, the system pulls websites and emails for the whole batch.

💾 The Key Step: How to Save the Emails

Once you have results, save them to your "Contacts" library — otherwise you can't run bulk email later.

Steps:

1. View results: Open the Batch Search Tasks page from the left sidebar and click Results on the task you just created.

2. Select target companies: The results list supports secondary filtering by industry / country. Strip out freight forwarders, shell companies, and other noise; then check your target companies.
3. Save + tag: Click Save Contacts. In the popup, pick email types and always tag the batch (e.g., CustomsData-US-AutoParts) so you can target them precisely later.

✅ Official guarantee: no double-charging!

The system auto-deduplicates! No matter how many times or how many batches you save the same email, it's charged only once, for life. Save freely.

After saving, go to Customer Save Records to view live save progress and points used.

🙋‍♂️ New User FAQ

To get you up to speed, we've translated some "jargon" into plain English 👇

Q1 · The results screen has lots of info (4 tabs). What does each one mean?

When a company comes back, the UI shows 4 core panels:

Panel	Plain English
🏢 Company Info	The company's basics — where they are, how big, social media links
📧 Email	Where to find key decision-makers (the most important — emails depend on this)
🤖 AI Insights	AI summarizes "what this company actually does" — no need to read their English website; you can tell at a glance whether they're your target
🔍 Find Similar	Think this company's a perfect fit? Click here and the system surfaces more like it

Q2 · How does billing work when I look up a company?

• Searching and viewing are free! Search and read AI Insights as much as you like.
• Only when you click "Save" to add emails to your library do points get deducted: 🟢 Valid email 2 points / 🟡 Unknown email 1 point / 🔴 Invalid email 0 points (not charged).

Q3 · What does "save to CRM" actually mean?

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) sounds fancy, but it's just "Customer Management" in the left sidebar — think of it as your "personal online address book". Data you find in the search engine has to be saved into that book before you can email those leads.

Q4 · Are "Unknown" emails worth saving?

Strongly recommend saving them. The validation system is conservative, and many "Unknown" labels actually work — Laifaxin users report over 70% of inquiries come from Unknown emails. Saving only "Valid" misses the bulk of opportunities.

Q5 · What's the max per batch? Why do I get fewer hits than I submitted?

Up to 10,000 per run, finishing in 5 seconds — split if you exceed. Hit count drops usually because: duplicate company names (auto-deduped), small companies without a public website, or noise like freight forwarders / shell companies in customs data. Recommendation: dedupe and standardize English names in Excel before submitting.

Q6 · Are the emails 100% valid? Do I need to validate separately?

We can't guarantee 100%, but no need for a separate validation flow: the system already runs multi-step validation (0 points for invalid emails), free validation at save, and another free check before bulk send. Just save and send.

Q7 · If I run out of points, do I lose the task?

No. Batch search tasks never fail mid-way. Save tasks auto-pause on insufficient points and resume automatically after topping up. No need to recreate the task.
