🧭 Quick start (UI)

1. Open the actor, set 📁 File name / Run label (optional).
2. Choose your filters (e.g., 👔 Job Title = “Marketing Manager”, 🌍 Location = “United States”, 🏭 Industry = “SaaS”).
3. Set #️⃣ Number of leads to fetch (default 10,000; leave empty to fetch all that match).
4. Click Run. When finished, download results from the Dataset tab or use the Overview table.

Location vs City: Use Location for a region/country/state. To target a single city, leave Location empty and use City only. (Same logic for the Exclude fields.)

🔎 Examples

Example 1 — US SaaS marketing leaders using HubSpot or Salesforce

• contact_job_title: ["Head of Marketing","VP Marketing","CMO"]
• functional_level: ["marketing"]
• contact_location: ["united states"]
• company_industry: ["computer software","internet","information technology & services","marketing & advertising","saas"]
• company_technology: ["hubspot","salesforce"]
• email_status: ["validated"]
• fetch_count: 5000

Example 2 — UK E-commerce CTOs, exclude catch-all

• contact_location: ["united kingdom"]
• operating_model: ["e-commerce","retail"]
• exclude_catch_all_domain: true

Example 3 — Amsterdam city-only (no broader Location)

✅ Best practices

• Location vs City: Choose one. Use Location for region/country/state or leave it empty and use City for city-only targeting. Same rule for Exclude.
• Start broad, then narrow. Begin with Location + title, then add industry/tech/revenue/funding.
• Use include & exclude. Quickly remove irrelevant sectors with company_not_industry / company_not_keywords.
• Prefer validated emails. Keep email_status = ["validated"] for outreach-ready lists; add unknown to increase volume.
• Skip catch-alls. Set exclude_catch_all_domain = true for better deliverability.
• Deduplicate downstream. If you merge runs, dedupe by email → linkedin → (full_name,company_domain).
• Stay compliant. Use for B2B prospecting; follow GDPR/CCPA/PECR and local rules.

🧰 API usage (headless)

2. Poll for completion.
3. Fetch dataset items (JSON/CSV).

(See Apify docs for runs, datasets endpoints.)

💵 Pricing & limits

• From $1.5 / 1,000 leads (cheaper than typical ZoomInfo/Lusha/Apollo seat pricing).
• On the free Apify plan, the platform caps at 100 leads/run.

---

🧯 Troubleshooting

• Few or zero results? Loosen filters (remove company_not_*, broaden Location, allow unknown email status). Try title synonyms (“Demand Gen” vs “Growth Marketing”).
• Too many results? Add industry, technologies, revenue, funding, or switch from region to country/state/city.
• Catch-all emails dominating? Set exclude_catch_all_domain = true and keep email_status = ["validated"].
• Geography mismatches? Don’t mix broad regions with countries/states/cities; use either Location or City for the same target.

---

• v1.1 — Simplified location filters: replaced Region/Country/State trio with Location (Region/Country/State) + City; mirrored for Exclude.
• v1.0 — Initial release with People/Company/Tech/Revenue/Funding filters, validated email preference, and LinkedIn enrichment.
