Enhance Find Company Search by Excluding Specific Countries

·
·

Request: Exclude Country in Find Company search. I want to primarily target US companies which is why I add "United States" to the select one or more countries. What I've found though is that I'm missing out on a huge number. This is because many companies have not populated the country field on LinkedIn or have an international HQ listed as the country even though there is significant US presence that would be useful for me to target. Given this, having the ability to hard exclude known geographies (countries) that I don't want to target will allow me more easily deal with the remainder. I'd rather have some false positives to sort through than excluding lots of viable prospects.

    Currently, our Find Company search allows you to filter locations in the following ways: 1. Select specific countries you want to include (e.g., United States) 2. Include specific cities or states 3. Exclude specific cities or states While there isn't a direct option to exclude countries, here are some strategies to optimize your US company search: 1. Start with selecting United States in the "Select Countries" filter 2. Use the "Exclude Cities or States" option to remove any specific non-US locations you're seeing in results 3. Refine your search using other available filters like company size, industry, or keywords Remember to preview your results and iterate on your search parameters to achieve the best balance between coverage and relevance.
