A few simple steps — filter clients fast and accurately!

Hey foreign trade friend — sound familiar: you ran a search task, found a ton of prospects, got excited, then realized most weren't what you actually wanted? Don't worry — this guide is for you. We'll walk you through filtering out the noise quickly and accurately so what's left is the gold — and your time and energy go to the most worthwhile places. Get to orders faster!

💡 Friendly note

• 🎯 Our goal: Spend just 20 minutes a day to filter 1,000 high-quality prospects.
• ✅ Quick check before you start: Always check the raw accuracy of your search results first — ideally above 40%.
• ✨ Expected after filtering: Our method aims to lift accuracy to above 70%.

👉 Why isn't it worth filtering if raw accuracy is too low?

Imagine sifting gold from a giant pile of sand. If your raw accuracy is below 40%, it's exhausting.

• 🤔 Example: You scrape 10,000 companies; only 2,000 might be your fit — that's 20% accuracy.
• 1️⃣ Wastes time: Going through 10,000 results one by one takes days. You find only a few good ones — poor ROI.
• 2️⃣ Inflates cost: If you skip filtering and save emails immediately, costs can multiply — most emails go to irrelevant people.
• 👉 Our suggestion: First optimize your search method to lift raw accuracy — then filtering becomes far more effective.

1. Why filter?

1. Core filtering idea

• 🎯 Keep the focus: Our goal is to lift 40% raw accuracy to over 70% by excluding the clearly unfit.

Caption: Overall filtering logic.

2. Common pain points when searching

① Four major pain points

💡 Sound familiar?

• 1️⃣ Wasted money: If many scraped clients aren't a fit, saving them wastes your points.
  • 👉 For example: Saving a task's results can burn through tens of thousands of points.
• 2️⃣ Wasted time: Clicking into each client to check info is brutally slow.
  • 👉 For example: 10 minutes to find clients, but a whole week to filter them.
• 3️⃣ Repeated work: Every search asks you to set up the same set of filter conditions all over again.
  • 👉 For example: Configure them anew for every task — headache.
• 4️⃣ Can't accumulate: The filter conditions you painstakingly crafted have to be re-invented next time. - 👉 For example: The more conditions, the more painful manual setup gets.

Caption: Four pain points.

② Have you run into these?

We know scraped data can be all over the map. Sound familiar?

• Geography pain: Results mixed with domestic peer companies, or customers in specific countries/regions you don't want to work with right now (e.g., some India/Pakistan contacts).
• Wrong site type: Results loaded with news sites, personal blogs, forum posts, community discussions, etc. — not what we want.
• Wrong industry: A pile of government agencies, universities, or non-profit org sites.
• Big-platform noise: Many huge B2C or B2B e-commerce platforms, or social-media giants like LinkedIn, YouTube.
• Company-size mismatch: Some companies are huge — looks tempting, but in reality very hard to close.

Caption: Common scenarios.

💡 How do you exclude these unwanted sites?

• Don't worry! Use 👉 Laifaxin's 📚 view filters to quickly exclude irrelevant clients.
• ⚠️ One trick: For filtering, strongly recommend the "exclusion method". - ✅ Recommended: Identify the obviously-not-your-target traits and exclude them. - ❌ Avoid: Don't only match clients that perfectly fit your imagination — that narrows the pool too aggressively and may cause you to miss real opportunities.

---

3. Recommended filtering method

Caption: Filtering strategy.

① Use "exclusion" to keep the good ones

• 🎯 Core idea: Exclude the noise and irrelevant — what's left is more likely the precise targets you want.
• 🛠️ Manage your "exclusion list": Keep a small "exclusion keyword library" — a simple table noting non-target traits. - Example: To exclude Chinese peer companies, we know many domestic site domains end with .cn. So set domain not contains .cn to exclude most of those. We'll walk through this concretely later.

  • Reference sheet: 👉 See this Customer Marketing Data Sheet: https://kdocs.cn/l/clEQmGg41bxx

Caption: Exclusion library template.

❎ Don't do this: using only "contains" leaves almost no targets!

• E.g., using "led lighting" AND wholesale to find US clients on LinkedIn — we got 3,849 results.

Caption: Search results.

• Now filter "Website Title" with contains (multi-select), content only led lighting — only 262 results remain.

Caption: Filter result.

• ✅ Pro: Contains-only filtering surfaces highly precise clients.
• ❎ Con: This excludes many potential opportunities — you may miss precious openings.

② Aim for the right accuracy

• 🎯 Goal: Lift accuracy above 70%. At that bar, saving emails and starting marketing makes sense.
• ✨ Benefit: Fewer invalid clients means lower costs and bigger marketing impact.

③ Filtering is "subtraction"

• 🧘‍♀️ Mindset: Filtering is a "subtraction" process.
• 🛠️ Keep refining: Keep adding new exclusion words to your library — your filter set gets sharper and faster.

④ Set once, use often

💡 Convenient: Saved filter views in 👉 Laifaxin can be applied across all your search tasks. Set once, use forever.

⑤ More accumulation, sharper and faster

📈 Experience compounds: Filter conditions accumulate. More conditions, sharper precision — and faster filtering too.

2. Before filtering — check the "raw material"

🔔 Important: check raw accuracy before filtering!

• 🌟 How to check?
  • Easy. Open your task's results page, click into 5–10 client sites, and roughly estimate — make sure the task's raw accuracy is at least 40%.
  • Shortcut: https://web.laifaxin.com/search/tasks (see 📚 Filter Search Results for how-to)
• 🌟 Two accuracy benchmarks:
  • 🤔 Tasks under 40% raw accuracy — worth filtering? Honestly, very low raw accuracy means filtering is a time sink with weak outcomes. Don't pour energy in.
  • 🎯 What final accuracy is ideal? Generally — after our method — if target-client ratio hits 70%+, save emails and start outreach.
• 🌟 Quick glossary - 1️⃣ Raw accuracy: The proportion of target customers in your search task right after it finishes — before any filtering. - 2️⃣ Final accuracy: The proportion of target customers after a series of filtering actions.

• 👉 How do you lift raw accuracy?

  See our other detailed guide 📚 "6️⃣ Search in Practice" for many practical techniques. In short: keep adding and refining search constraints so the clients you find get more precise. A few key tips:

  • 1️⃣ Lean on "AND": When configuring search conditions, lean on 📚 AND logic (all conditions must hold), and use 📚 OR (any one is fine) sparingly — keep the scope focused.
  • 2️⃣ Language match: For minor-language country clients, search in their local language — and avoid the system's result optimization, which can hurt precision.
  • 3️⃣ Don't use exclusions during searching: When setting keywords in a search task, do not use exclusion syntax (e.g., - before a keyword).
    • 👉 Example: If you search with -news, any company site that contains "news" anywhere (many sites have a news section) gets entirely excluded — too costly. So don't exclude during search. Filtering is filtering; searching is searching.
  • 4️⃣ Cap preview result count: When creating a search task and clicking preview, keep single-task results under 10,000.
    • 👉 Why: It looks like fewer results per task — but because precision is higher, you save lots of filtering time.

3. In practice: use "view filters" to exclude noise

tip

• 🤔 Think: which clients are definitely not what you want?

• 💡 What traits do those unwanted clients share?

• ⬇️ Below is a mind-map to organize your thinking. Then we'll walk each step in detail. ⬇️

Caption: Filtering logic mind-map.

1. Basic rules of "view filters"

① Conditions are joined by "AND"

🤔 How do multiple filter conditions combine?

• When you set multiple filter conditions, they're joined by AND. A client must satisfy all conditions simultaneously to be matched (or excluded).

② Use "not contains" etc. for exclusion

❌ We only exclude the irrelevant!

• Remember our core strategy: exclude clearly irrelevant clients, and what remains is what we want.
• For exclusion conditions, we most often use: not contains, does not end with, does not start with.

2. How to exclude unwanted regions

warning

• 👉 Ask yourself: Which countries or regions are off the table right now?
• 💡 Think: What obvious traits do those clients show in their company info or websites?

① Exclude by "country/region" field

🤔 Which countries/regions to exclude?

• Use the system's pre-classified country/region field to quickly exclude.

Type	Suggested exclusions (adjust to your case)	Why
Country/Region	Mainland China, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, China	Likely domestic peers or trading companies.
Country/Region	India, Pakistan, Bangladesh	Some foreign trade pros report these regions may have lower margins, higher communication overhead, or slightly higher transaction risk.

🔔 Note: These are examples — what to exclude depends on your business needs.

• 🔔 With that logic, configure the filter:

  • 👉 See 📚 Filter Search Results for details. On the results page, create a new filter view, then:
  • 1️⃣ Field: Choose country/region.
  • 2️⃣ Operator: Choose not contains.
  • 3️⃣ Target: Check the countries/regions you don't want.

• Screenshot:

• 

• Caption: Configure filter to exclude specific countries/regions.

② Exclude by "company name" traits

🤔 What do many Chinese foreign trade companies share in their names?

• A few patterns:

  • 1️⃣ Name contains place name: Many domestic companies' English or Chinese names include their province or city (e.g., Shenzhen, Guangdong).
  • 2️⃣ Title contains company name: Some put the full company name in the website title.
  • 3️⃣ Description contains company name: Or in the website description.

---

👉 Two angles to exclude:

• 1️⃣ Exclude common place-name pinyin: Compile a list of major Chinese cities' and provinces' pinyin — many foreign trade English names use pinyin.
• 2️⃣ Exclude common domestic-naming words: Also exclude words/characters commonly used by domestic names — gongsi (company), 科 (ke), 团 (tuan), 国 (guo), 市 (shi), 省 (sheng) — plus Chinese, china.

• Why exclude place pinyin, not Chinese characters?

  Because foreign trade company English names and website info typically use pinyin for place names, not Chinese characters. :::

• Reference: top-50 Chinese export cities and their provinces, in pinyin:

👉 With the above, here are 3️⃣ types of exclusion keywords:

• 1️⃣ Major-province pinyin (separated by ;)

guangdong;shanghai;jiangsu;zhejiang;fujian;hubei;anhui;shandong;hunan;shaanxi;sichuan;guangxi;liaoning;hebei;jilin;

• 2️⃣ Major-city pinyin (separated by ;)

• 3️⃣ Common domestic-naming words (separated by ;)

gongsi;公;司;团;科;平;网;鱼;Chinese;china;中國;国;山;市;省;

---

🔔 Note: Separators must be English semicolons (;).

• 🔔 With those keywords, configure the filter:

  • 👉 Open or create a filter view in your search results, then:
  • 1️⃣ Field: Choose Company Name.
  • 2️⃣ Operator: Choose not contains.
  • 3️⃣ Content: Paste the 3 types above (province pinyin, city pinyin, common words).

Caption: Company name exclusion setup.

③ Exclude by "website title" traits

tip

• The logic for excluding via website title mirrors excluding via company name.
• Many domestic companies also put their place-named company name fully into the title.

• 🔔 So we can mirror the company-name approach for titles:

  • 👉 In your filter view:
  • 1️⃣ Field: Choose Website Title.
  • 2️⃣ Operator: Choose not contains.
  • 3️⃣ Content: Paste the same 3 types as above.

Caption: Website title exclusion setup.

④ Exclude by "website description" traits

• Website description exclusion is essentially the same as title. Reuse the same keyword lists.

Caption: Website description exclusion setup.

⑤ Exclude by "domain suffix"

Beyond name, title, and description, we can also use domain suffix to help exclude specific countries/regions.

Region/Country	Common domain suffix	Note (for reference)
Mainland China	.cn	Mostly domestic — possibly peers.
Hong Kong, China	.hk	As above — peers or traders.
Taiwan, China	.tw	Same.
India	.in	Some report lower margin and higher communication overhead.
Pakistan	.pk	Same.
Bangladesh	.bd	Same.

• 💡 Important: These are examples; adjust to your business and market strategy.

👉 With the above, here are some domain suffixes to exclude:

• Suffixes matching the table above (separated by ;):

.cn;.hk;.tw;.in;.pk;.bd;

• Add more countries — e.g., to also exclude Korea (suffix .kr):

.cn;.hk;.tw;.in;.pk;.bd;.kr;

• 🔔 Configure the filter:

  • 👉 In your filter view:
  • 1️⃣ Field: Choose Domain.
  • 2️⃣ Operator: Choose does not end with (only keep domains NOT ending with these suffixes).
  • 3️⃣ Content: Paste your domain-suffix keyword list (e.g., .cn;.hk;.tw;.in;.pk;.bd;).

Caption: Domain suffix exclusion setup.

3. How to exclude irrelevant site types

• 🤔 Think: Which site types often appear in results but are definitely not your targets, and have obvious telltale keywords?

• A few examples — these site types and their typical keywords help you judge quickly (generally, if the title or description contains these terms, they're not your prospects):

Common non-target site types	Site screenshot reference	Telltale keywords likely in title/description
News portals like NBC News		news, videos, headlines, breaking
Blog platforms like Blogger		blog, post, article
B2B data platforms / directories like ZoomInfo		B2B Database, directory, contacts
Business data / credit reports like Dnb		business data, credit report, insights
Yellow pages / marketing services like Kompass		B2B data, digital marketing, solutions
Trade/customs data like ImportGenius		trade databases, customs data, shipment records
Global trade data like Panjiva		global trade, supply chain, manufacturers

• Common exclusion keywords from the above (separated by ;):

news;videos;headlines;breaking;blog;post;article;B2B Database;directory;contacts;business data;credit report;insights;B2B data;digital marketing;solutions;trade databases;customs data;shipment records;global trade;supply chain;

• 💡 How to use: Add to "not contains" on both Website Title and Website Description fields.

4. How to exclude non-target industries

① Exclude industries by domain traits

Some industries have telltale domain patterns or suffixes. Use them to exclude. Three common types:

Industry	Common domain traits	Examples
Education / Research	Usually contains .edu or ends with .edu	harvard.edu, academia.edu, ox.ac.uk (UK academic), edu.cn (China education)
Non-profits / Organizations	Usually ends with .org	wikipedia.org, un.org, redcross.org
Government / Official agencies	Usually contains .gov or .go, or ends with them	usa.gov, gov.uk, gc.ca (Canada), beijing.gov.cn (China local)

• 👉 Note: Examples only — adapt to your product and target groups.

🤔 Let's recap the patterns:

• Education sites: Domain usually contains .edu. (e.g., xxx.edu.xx) or ends with .edu. Some academic institutions use .ac. (e.g., UK .ac.uk).
• Organization sites: Domain usually ends with .org.
• Government sites: Domain usually contains .gov. (e.g., xxx.gov.xx) or .go. (e.g., some countries' xxx.go.xx), or ends with .gov or .go.

👉 Summary — exclusion setup:

• 1️⃣ Domain does not end with (Not End With):

.edu;.gov;.org;.ac;.go;

• 2️⃣ Domain not contains:

.edu.;.gov.;.go.;.ac.;

(Note: the dot . matters — .edu. matches aaa.edu.cn, not just domains ending with .edu)

• 🔔 Configure the filter:

  • 👉 In your filter view, add both rules to the Domain field:
  • One: does not end with — content .edu;.gov;.org;.ac;.go;
  • Another: not contains — content .edu.;.gov.;.go.;.ac.;
  • (Remember: these are joined by AND — both apply.)

👉 Click to see the filter setup reference screenshot

Caption: Excluding specific industry sites by domain traits.

② Exclude industries by "website content"

Beyond the domain, some non-target industry sites have telltale keywords in their title or description. Use them to exclude.

Caption: Industry signature words that may appear in titles and descriptions.

• A few examples (separated by ;):

education;university;college;school;academic;institute;
government;gov't;governmental;official;public sector;
non-profit;charity;foundation;organization;ngo;
betting;gambling;casino;lottery;poker;

• 🔔 How to use:

  Add these to "not contains" on both Title and Description fields.

Caption: Excluding specific industry keywords from title and description.

5. How to avoid very large sites

① Exclude large e-commerce platforms

👉 What do large e-commerce platforms typically share?

• 1️⃣ By domain: If a site's domain contains one of these familiar platform names, it's almost certainly the platform itself or closely related — not your independent buyer target.

alibaba;amazon;shopee;lazada;aliexpress;made-in-china;dhgate;1688.com;ebay.com;etsy.com;taobao.com;wish.com;fruugo;globalsources;tradeindia;indiamart;shein;temu;

• 2️⃣ By title (use with caution!): Some site titles include B2B or B2C. - 👉 Special note: While this could be a tell, we do not recommend using these terms to exclude directly. Many of your prospects (brands, wholesalers) also list themselves as B2B or B2C. Direct exclusion may wipe out lots of good ones.

• 🔔 From the above (focus on domain):
  • 👉 In your filter view, on the Domain field, add a not contains rule with the e-commerce platform domain list.
  • 👉 (We won't demo B2B/B2C in title here — to avoid misleading you.)

Caption: Excluding large e-commerce platforms by domain.

② Exclude common social media sites

👉 Common social media or tools — domain traits?

• Yes. If a site's domain contains any of these, it's likely the platform itself or a related third-party service.

wikipedia;google;yahoo;facebook;twitter;linkedin;tiktok;instagram;pinterest;youtube;
zoominfo;lusha;crunchbase;apollo.io;hunter.io;signalhire;
exportgenius;panjiva;importgenius;kompass;
listcompany;ec21;dnb.com;ecplaza;ampliz;engnetglobal;
yellow.place;yellowpages;nicelocal;vymaps.com;
sitelike;similarsites;sitesimilar;alternativeto;similarsitesearch;
sohu.com;yelp;lnkd.in;

(We bundled in common tools, yellow pages, and similar-site lookups for your reference.)

• 🔔 With these keywords:
  • 👉 In your filter view, on the Domain field, add a not contains rule with the above list.

Caption: Excluding social media and tool sites by domain.

③ Use "Google index count" to judge

tip

• Generally, a normal company website has under 1 million pages indexed by Google. Mega platforms, news portals, social media, etc. often vastly exceed this.
• So use Google index count as a helper to exclude oversized sites — e.g., exclude any site with over 1 million indexed pages.

• 🔔 Add this filter:
  • 👉 In your filter view:
  • 1️⃣ Field: Choose Google index.
  • 2️⃣ Operator: Choose less than or equal (≤).
  • 3️⃣ Value: e.g., 1000000 (1 million).
  • (Adjust as needed — 500K or 2M, etc.)

Caption: Excluding mega sites via Google index count.

6. How to exclude oversized companies

tip

• 1️⃣ Challenges of working with very large companies:

  • Big companies have resources but high entry bars — "many certification requirements", "very high product/service requirements", "long decision cycles", "long payment terms", etc.
  • For many foreign trade companies — especially newer or smaller ones — thoroughly assess your capability and resources before engaging.
  • Engaging a big company without meeting their requirements may mean no profit and getting crushed in the process — a bad trade.

• 2️⃣ What info can roughly indicate company size for exclusion?

  • Employee count: Use the system's employee count field. E.g., keep only companies with under 200 employees.
  • Email count: The count of accurate emails (with names) and prospect emails (info@, sales@, etc.) on a site can reflect company size and formality. Cap both at, say, 200.

• 👉 Note: 200 is just an example. Adjust based on your product positioning and target profile — 500, 1,000, 2,000 — whatever fits.

• 🔔 Configure filters:
  • 👉 In your filter view:
  • Employee count: less than or equal (≤), with your cap (e.g., 200).
  • Email count (if separate, set both, or use total): less than or equal (≤), with your cap (e.g., 200).

Caption: Excluding large companies via employee and email counts.

4. Advanced: "blacklist" for precise blocking

Domain blacklist: A more direct and precise tool — specifically to block clients or sites you definitely don't want.

1. How to add a client to the blacklist

• Method 1: from the client list page In search results or client management list, check the clients you don't want, then click the [Add to Blacklist] button.

Caption: Selecting clients on the list and adding to blacklist.

• Method 2: from the client's detail page On a client's detail page, if they're not your target, you'll usually see [Add to Blacklist].

Caption: Adding from a client's detail page.

2. View blacklisted clients

• Marker 1: strikethrough on name Blacklisted clients typically show with a strikethrough in lists — recognizable at a glance.

Caption: Blacklisted clients usually show a strikethrough.

• Marker 2: dedicated blacklist page 👉 Laifaxin usually has a dedicated [Blacklist Management] page (e.g., Blacklist - Laifaxin) where all blacklisted clients/domains live.

Caption: View blacklisted clients in the blacklist management list.

3. Bulk-blacklist multiple clients

If you have a batch of unwanted domains (dozens to thousands), manual is slow. Use bulk import:

• Open the [Blacklist Management] page (e.g., https://web.laifaxin.com/settings/blacks).
• Find the [Bulk Import] or [Add to Blacklist] button.
• Paste your domain list (one per line) or upload a file — all blacklisted at once.

Caption: Bulk-import domains to the blacklist.

4. Accidentally blacklisted — what to do

If you accidentally blacklist a client you actually want, no worries — several ways to rescue:

• Method 1: in the blacklist management page Open [Blacklist Management], find the wrongly-blacklisted domain or company, check it, then click [Remove from Blacklist] or [Bulk Delete] (for a single one).

Caption: Removing a client from the blacklist via the management page.

• Method 2: in the search task results In a task's results list, if you see the wrongly-blacklisted company (with a strikethrough), check it — there's usually a [Cancel Blacklist] or [Remove from Blacklist] option.

Caption: Removing from blacklist within search results.

• Method 3: in the client's detail page Open the wrongly-blacklisted client's detail page — where [Add to Blacklist] used to be, it's now [Cancel Blacklist] or similar. Click it.

5. Extensions & resources

1. FAQ

• ❓ Q 1: Is more filter conditions always better?

  • A: Not necessarily. Too many or too narrow conditions may also filter out potential good clients. Start with the most obvious differentiating non-target traits — region, specific industry domains, news/blog keywords, etc. Make sure the direction is right first, then refine details. Remember — the goal is 70%+ accuracy, not 100% perfection at the cost of missed opportunities.

• ❓ Q 2: Will my filter view affect my colleagues' accounts?

  • A: Usually depends on the system's specific settings. In 👉 Laifaxin, filter views are typically saved under your own account and don't directly affect colleagues unless you share settings or use team-collaboration features.

• ❓ Q 3: I filtered wrong and excluded an important client — can I get it back?

  • A: If excluded via "view filtering", the data itself isn't deleted — it's just hidden under the current view. Modify or delete the filter condition, or switch to a view with no filters — you'll see all clients again. If you used "blacklist", as above, remove it from the blacklist management.

• ❓ Q 4: Is the exclusion keyword list fixed?

  • A: Of course not! All the keyword lists here are starting examples. Non-target traits differ by industry and product. The important thing is to observe, summarize, and tune in your day-to-day work — build your own exclusion keyword library that fits you. That's the real efficiency boost.

2. Learning tips for beginners

• 💡 Learn and tune via practice: Filtering isn't set-and-forget. Markets shift, and target profiles may need updates. Don't avoid the work — try different combinations, observe results, and find what fits your product.
• 🛠️ Use the tools — get a head start: Pro tools like 👉 Laifaxin are built for this. Spend time learning the features, especially today's focus — "view filters" and "blacklist" — and you'll save lots of time.
• 👣 Start small, step by step: If filtering is new to you, it may feel complex. Start with a few hundred results from one task. Build a feel, then scale up.
• ✍️ Logging and summarizing — a good habit: After filtering, or when you spot new exclusion traits, write them down. Over time, you'll build a precious personal "minefield-clearing manual"!
