B2B Decision-Maker Finder: Titles, Industry, Country, With Evidence

Give it job titles, industry keywords and countries. It returns the people who hold those roles at companies in that industry, and for every person it shows why: the line from their public profile that names the role, and the line from their company's own website that confirms what the company does.

Example: "Founders and Heads of Sales at digital marketing agencies in the United Kingdom, 100 people, with verified work emails."

You do not need a company list, a LinkedIn account or a data vendor. The Actor searches Google's index of public profiles, reads each company's website, and returns only the people every source supports. It never pads the list.

What you get

A spreadsheet-ready row per person:

ColumnExample
fullNameJane Example
rawTitleFounder & CEO
companyNameExample Digital Ltd
companyWebsitehttps://exampledigital.co.uk/
linkedInUrlhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-example
personLocationRawLondon, England, United Kingdom
emailjane@exampledigital.co.uk (with Personal emails on)
emailVerificationStatusok
qualification.conditions.industry.evidence"Example Digital - SEO & PPC Agency for Local Businesses" (from the company's home page)

Also in every run:

  • Candidates (a separate dataset, never charged): people who were found but not returned, each with what was missing: another place, a title further than asked, or a company whose website could not confirm the industry.
  • Companies (a separate dataset): every company checked, its website, the industry and selling-to-businesses readings with their quotes, and any website set aside because it belonged to a different company.
  • A run summary (SUMMARY in the key-value store): counts, what was searched, what was charged, and why the run stopped.

How a person is accepted

  1. The role. The title on the person's public profile, as Google indexed it, matches a requested title or a close synonym at the same level (Head of Sales also finds Sales Director; Title matching controls this).
  2. The place. The profile's location line is in a requested country, region or city.
  3. The company. The company's own website is found and read (home page and a few pages it links to). An AI model that only answers structured questions decides whether the company offers the requested keyword, and which lines of the site say so; that line is quoted in the row. A website that turns out to belong to another company is set aside and the next one tried.
  4. Optional: sells to businesses. With Companies must sell to businesses on, the company's pages must also show business customers, again with a quote.

A person who passes 1 and 2 but whose company could not be confirmed either way is a candidate, not a result. When the company's website cannot be checked (none found, or the run's company limit reached), the keyword may still be confirmed by the company's name or the person's own profile line; the row then has no companyWebsite, its evidence names that source, and qualification.companyCheck says why the site was not read.

Input

The main fields:

FieldWhat it does
Job titlesUp to 10 roles, for example Founder, Managing Director, Head of Sales.
LocationsUp to 5, each a country code with an optional region or city. Large countries are searched region by region.
Industry keywordsUp to 20, for example "digital marketing agency", "dental supplies", "cybersecurity". Each is searched and confirmed on its own.
Maximum peopleHow many to return. Search effort and run time grow with it.
Personal emailsFind and verify a personal work email for each person returned.
Companies must sell to businessesKeep only B2B companies.

The Advanced section holds filters (industries, companies to include or exclude), strictness (how far a title may be from the requested one, whether keywords are required) and limits (searches, companies, time). The defaults suit most requests.

Example input:

{
"titles": ["Founder", "Managing Director", "Head of Sales"],
"locations": [{ "countryCode": "GB" }],
"keywords": ["digital marketing agency", "SEO agency", "web design agency"],
"maxPeople": 100,
"personalEmails": true
}

Personal emails

With Personal emails on, each person returned gets a work email when one can be verified: first one the company publishes beside the person's name, else the common patterns built from the name and the company's domain (first.last@, first@, flast@ and others), each checked for deliverability until one accepts mail.

  • Only an address whose mailbox accepts mail is returned.
  • A domain that accepts every address (catch-all) returns nothing, because no address on it can be verified.
  • Company mailboxes such as info@ or sales@ are never put in the person's email.

Pricing

You pay per event, and only for what you get:

  • Person: each person written to the results dataset.
  • Personal email: each verified personal email found (only with Personal emails on).

Candidates, the companies dataset and the summary are free. The prices are on the Pricing tab. Your run's maximum charge is respected: when it is reached the run stops and the rest of the people it found go to the candidates dataset.

How many people to expect

The Actor returns the people public sources support, not a fixed number. A narrow industry in a small country may yield a few dozen; a broad one in a large country, hundreds. In a test for UK agency founders and heads of sales it returned 62 confirmed people and 125 more whose company could not be read either way, in 25 minutes. A request can finish with fewer people than asked for; the summary's stopReason says why (for example query_plan_exhausted: every planned search ran).

Runs get faster and cheaper over time for common requests, because profile lines and company pages collected by earlier runs are reused within their age limits and judged again.

Languages and countries

Any country can be searched. The best results today are in English-language markets (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland and similar), because titles and industry keywords are matched as written. Elsewhere, write the titles and keywords the way people and companies there write them, for example "Geschäftsführer" and "Zahnarztbedarf" for Germany.

What it will not tell you

  • Everyone in a role. Only people whose public profile Google has indexed with the title and place.
  • That a role is current today. The indexed profile presents it as current; that is the basis given, not a verified employment record.
  • Who approves a purchase. A title names a function, not authority.
  • A home address or a personal phone. Only what professional sources publish.

Fair use

Only public pages are read. Profiles are not opened, no account or cookie is used, and no login wall or challenge is bypassed. You are responsible for how you contact the people returned and for the privacy and marketing rules that apply to you, such as GDPR and CAN-SPAM.
