How to ask for a search

looks for what you tell it. A few habits improve the results a lot, and they work for any search.

Say what you offer and who your customers are

Apex always looks for your customers. If you only name your own product (“packaging”), the search pulls towards packaging manufacturers, in other words your competitors. A precise request contains both: “We make packaging, we're looking for meat processors.”

One search, one line of business

Within the food industry, search separately for bakeries, meat plants and dairies: a narrow search is more precise, and you can give each one its own campaign written for that segment. If you use a broad word, Apex offers 3 to 5 narrower lines of business, and you choose.

Start from the need

If you know the need but not the line of business (“companies that order a lot of printed forms”), say it like that. Apex names the lines of business where this need is typical, and you choose from them.

Say what you are not looking for

“Leave the resellers out”, “no booking portals”. Apex checks this for every company and leaves out the ones that do not fit.

Refine from the reasons

If the sample contains a company that does not fit, look at its reason and explain the difference: “this one's a distributor, we need a manufacturer”. Apex uses that to refine the search.

Several steps in one sentence

“Find accounting firms in Győr that have an email address, and run the sample too.” Apex does it in order and reports back on everything at the end.
