In Find Leads side-menu, click on Bulk Domain Search to open a search set up interface.

Select search type

Depending on the search type you select, you’ll be able to set specific search parameters. Choose among two search options available:

• Emails only

This search type gets you domain-based email addresses without personalized information. 

Set search options:

Specify how many emails you want to Get from each domain in a file.

Search results include: 

• Generic – unverified emails associated with a domain, e.g., help@snov.io, info@snov.io
• Business and personal – unverified employee’s emails

Limit: You can get up to 100 emails per domain.

Credit cost: 2 credits per domain (from 1 to 100 emails).

Click Start search button to initiate the search (on this step it doesn’t charge you. You’ll see a preview with the number of emails available to add).

Next, click Add to list to save emails to a chosen list.

You’ll see a confirmation pop-up with a total credit cost for this search. 

Click Yes to proceed.

• Prospects

This search type gets you contact profiles enriched with prospect data.

Search results include: prospect profiles with additional information that you can use to personalize your campaign: first name and last name, position, location, company name, etc. 

Limit: You can add up to 200 prospects per domain and 100,000 prospects every 24 hours. 

For Teamwork users: Teams can add up 150,000 prospects per day. 

Credit cost: 1 credit per each prospect

Set search options:

Specify how many prospects you want to Get from each domain in a file.

Add same prospects if domain was searched before is optional for repeated searches from the same domain with the same search parameters.

Here’s how it works: 

When disabled:

• prospects saved from this domain in previous search requests are skipped 
•  you get only unique prospects according to your search parameters 

Example: you searched a domain in the past and saved 100 prospects to your list. 

Next time you search the same domain, you will get more different prospects while skipping 100 previously saved. 

When enabled: 

• prospects saved in previous searches are added to your list without charging a credit again.  

Example: you searched a domain and saved 100 prospects to your list. 

Next time you search the same domain, you will get the same prospects without being charged. 

For this scenario, apply different position or geography filters to get more unique prospects. 

Set the search filters:

Apply these filters to make your search results be more specific:  

Filter by position

• Exact match: get prospects with a specific job position. For example, if you enter “CEO” keyword, it gets you prospects whose profiles state “CEO” as their job position. 
• Position contains: get prospects whose job position contains at least one of the specified keywords.  For example, if you enter “Sales” keyword, it gets you all prospects with “Sales” in their position (e.g. Sales specialist, Sales manager, Sales representative etc.)

You can apply up to 50 position keywords per one search request. If you need to search more positions, apply them for the next search request. 

Filter by country

You can choose a location filter to get prospects within a specific geography. 

Click Save filter to use the same position keywords on your next searches. You can save up to 5 search filters.

Click Start search button to initiate the search (on this step, it doesn’t charge you. You’ll see a preview with the number of prospects available to add).

Next, click Add to list to save prospects to a chosen list.

You’ll see a confirmation pop-up with a total credit cost for this search. 

Click Yes to proceed and add search results to your list.
