1. FAQ​

❓ 💲 How is prospect search billed?​

  • A: Only saving emails is billed.
    • 🆓 Free operations: search preview, view customers, create tasks, view results, filter customers — all free.
    • 💲 Paid details: precise emails cost 2 universal credits, other types cost 1 universal credit. Common mailboxes like info, sales, contact are fully free.
    • For complete billing rules see 📚Product Rights Comparison and free-mailbox list.

❓ 🤔 Why am I getting competitors?​

  • A: Usually because you used your own product keywords. To find customers, you must use your customer's characteristic keywords.
    • ❌ Wrong: if you do CNC machining and use CNC as keyword, most results will be domestic competitors.
    • ☑️ Right: your customers are various overseas factories (e.g. robotic arm manufacturers), so search for their product keywords like robotic arm to find target customers.

❓ 🧐 Why are my search results so few?​

  • A: Try the following:
    • Optimize keywords: don't translate or guess — go to target customer websites or social media and find the native keywords they actually use.
    • Search non-English languages: search German customers in German, French customers in French, etc.
    • Turn off result optimization: when using Google, try turning off 【Result Optimization】. Always off for non-English languages.

❓ 🔑 How to get effective keywords?​

  • A: Keywords come from deep customer research.
    • Customer website: analyze product, service, industry, and role descriptions on customer websites. E.g. a CNC machining shop can find robotic arm-related product descriptions on robotic arm manufacturer websites — those are your effective keywords.
    • Customer social media: mine business traits and common vocabulary from customer social profiles.
    • More tips: see 📚How to Extract Customer Features.

❓ 🌏 How to search non-English customers?​

  • A: Core principle: "Use the local language to search local customers".
    • Use the matching language: keywords must be in the target market's official language (Russian for Russian customers).
    • Turn off result optimization: this feature adds English keywords by default, interfering with non-English searches. Must be off.
    • No machine translation: don't use translation software to generate keywords. All keywords should come directly from customer websites or social media — native.
    • Use Global Search Engine: recommended for non-English searches — more results. See 👉 Global Search Engine.
