💡 One-line summary of search logic: mine the customer's peers

• Customer peers defined: a customer's peers — competitors or partners in the same industry — are also potential customer groups.
• Customer commonalities:
  • • Business consistency: peers usually offer the same or similar products or services.
  • • Communication commonality: peers in the same market share consistent language and expression habits.
  • • Intro similarity: their self-introductions and brand image on websites and social media are often similar.
• Core search strategy: find customer peers via the customer's features.

① Single Product Word

🌟 Search customer products directly on the Google channel

• 💡 Keyword: 👉 customer product led lighting — enter directly as "led lighting" (note English double quotes).
• 🔔 Special reminder: this is the customer's product keyword, not your product keyword! (See 📚Feature Analysis Guide for keywords)

👉 Click for details on "Result Optimization" and "Exact Match"

• Result optimization: suited for simple English product keywords, not for minor languages or complex syntax. When enabled, the system automatically appends the following syntax to filter irrelevant results:

(intitle:"about us" | intitle:"contact us") -"alibaba.*" -"amazon.*" -"*.gov" -"*.edu" -"*.org" -"news" -"blogs" -"magazine"

• Exact match: when checked, your keyword automatically gets wrapped in English double quotes. Usage: see 📚Double Quotes.

Diagram: Search using a single product word on the Google channel.

② Multiple Product Words

Prospects sell both indoor lighting and outdoor lighting — how do you search customers who sell both product categories?

🌟 Multi-keyword search

• - Customer products: indoor lighting, outdoor lighting.
• - Search logic: use AND syntax (see 📚Syntax Guide) to connect multiple keywords, ensuring results contain them simultaneously.
• - Strict match: wrap each phrase in double quotes to boost search precision.

"indoor lighting" AND "outdoor lighting"

Diagram: Use the AND operator to search customers selling multiple products.

③ Product Word + Role Word

How do customers describe themselves on their websites? Take led lighting — customers might say: we're a wholesaler, retailer, or distributor specializing in led lighting products.

🌟 Combined search targeting

• Set keywords:
  • Customer product: led lighting
  • Business role: distributor (Distributor, Distribution, Distributing)
• Search syntax: combine "", AND, OR (|) syntax. See 📚Basic Syntax Guide.

  "led lighting" AND (Distributor | Distribution | Distributing)

📝 Google syntax application analysis

• AND: requires all conditions to be satisfied — makes results more precise. Must be uppercase.
• OR: matches any condition — interchangeable with |. Must be uppercase. Often used with () for searching a group of synonyms.
• "" (exact match): ensures search results strictly match the phrase and word order within quotes.
• For more syntax, see 📚Basic Syntax Guide.

Diagram: Advanced search combining product keywords with customer roles.

④ Advanced Syntax

How to further filter?

• Product keywords: search for customers with both outdoor lighting and indoor lighting on their web page.
• Page targeting: only search the customer website's contact us and about us pages.

🌟 Use advanced syntax to generate the search formula

• - Enter advanced syntax: click the ⚙️ icon next to the search box to enter the Advanced Syntax builder.
• - Generate search formula: fill in fields per the prompts — the system auto-generates the syntax. Detailed syntax: see 📚Basic Syntax Guide.

Diagram: Use the Advanced Syntax builder to construct complex search queries.

The generated syntax auto-fills the input box — search directly.

"indoor lighting" AND "outdoor lighting" AND (intitle:"contact us" | intitle:"about us")

⑤ FAQ

🤔 Why target "About Us" or "Contact Us" pages?

• 🎯 Improves efficiency and accuracy: these pages usually contain core company info, effectively filtering out irrelevant product pages or blog articles.
• Case analysis: take olucia.com — if you don't search "indoor lighting" AND "outdoor lighting" on a specific page, since the navigation menu contains these words, every page on the site would be returned, diluting search results.
• ⚠️ Google limit: each keyword combination returns at most ~300 results. If a site repeats, it reduces the chance of discovering new customers. Using syntax like intitle:"about us" ensures each domain appears only once — finding more different companies.

🤔 What's the relationship between multiple word groups in advanced syntax?

• AND relationship: between different field groups (like keyword, also contains, title contains), the relationship is AND.
• OR relationship: within the same field group (e.g. "contact us" and "about us" in title contains), multiple entries are in an OR relationship.
• Example syntax: "indoor lighting" AND "outdoor lighting" AND (intitle:"contact us" | intitle:"about us")

2. LinkedIn

💡 LinkedIn search notes

1. Built-in syntax: all searches are automatically based on site:linkedin.com/company — no manual input needed.

3. Searchable fields: supports searching company name, About us, industry, size, headquarters, type, and other info.

👉 LinkedIn page info analysis

① Single Product Word

We take searching customers selling indoor lighting as an example

🌟 Single product word search

• Keyword: directly enter the keyword with English double quotes.

  "indoor lighting"

Diagram: Use a single product word for search on the LinkedIn channel.

② Multiple Product Words

We take searching customers selling both indoor lighting and outdoor lighting as an example

④ Product Word + Multiple Role Words

🌟 Product word with multiple role words

• Keyword: use OR and () to expand role words.

lighting AND (Distributor | Distribution | Distributing)

Diagram: Use OR to expand role words and discover more potential customers.

⑤ Company Name + Product Word + Multiple Role Words

👉 Add company name restriction

• 700K is too many — I only want companies with lighting in the company name. How to search?

🌟 Add company name restriction

• Optimization idea: LinkedIn company page titles usually contain the company name. So we can use intitle: syntax to filter.
• Updated formula:

  lighting AND (Distributor | Distribution | Distributing) AND intitle:lighting

Diagram: Filter by company name using intitle: syntax.

⑥ Industry Word + Product Word + Multiple Role Words

On top of the above, only want customers in construction industry.

🌟 Add industry restriction

• Updated formula: directly add industry keyword.

lighting AND (Distributor | Distribution | Distributing) AND construction

Diagram: Add industry keywords to further focus on target customers.

👉 What if industries in results aren't accurate?

• Cause: Google is full-text search — as long as construction appears anywhere on a page, it may match, not necessarily in the industry field.
• Solution:
  1. Create task: save the current search result as a bulk search task.
  2. Filter in task: on the task results page, use the system's precise filter feature to filter by industry field for construction industry. See 📚Filter Search Results for details.

3. Zoominfo

💡 Zoominfo search notes

• Built-in syntax: auto-adds site:zoominfo.com/c prefix.
• Page analysis: search is based on public info on Zoominfo company pages, like company name, industry, intro.

• Execution: via 👉 Laifaxin combined with 📚Google syntax, we can quickly find these channels.
• Example formula:

  (xiaomi | Dyson) AND (intitle:"about us" | intitle:"contact us" | inurl:about-us | inurl:contact-us) AND intext:("wholesale" | "distributor" | "distribution") -inurl:xiaomi -inurl:Dyson

6. Further Reading and Resources

1. FAQ

• ❓ Why can't I find minor-language customers?

  • A: The Global Search Engine relies mainly on Google, and Google's index is primarily English. For minor-language websites, if they don't have a corresponding English version or English description, they may be hard to find. Try using the English keywords of the product.

• ❓ Why are my search results so few?

  • A: Result count depends on your keyword strategy.
    • Keywords too specific: try reducing modifiers or using broader synonyms. For example, use (Distributor | Distribution | Wholesaler) instead of single Distributor.
    • Limited market size: the segment you're searching may itself have a small market size.
    • Syntax errors: check if AND, OR are uppercase, brackets are paired, double quotes are in English format. See 📚Basic Syntax Guide.

2. Learning Tips

• Lay the foundation: skillful mastery of 📚Google Search Syntax is the cornerstone of efficient customer search.
• Precise profile: before searching, clearly define your 📚Customer Profile — be clear about who you're looking for.
• Iterative optimization: don't expect to find the perfect search formula on the first try. Start from simple keywords, gradually add or adjust restrictions based on preview results — continuously optimize.
• Use filtering well: for bulk task results, definitely use the built-in filtering feature for secondary refinement to ensure customer quality.
