When running Find People searches in Clay, several factors can affect your search results: 1. Data Quality and Filters: • The results can vary based on the quality of your search parameters • It's important to review and adjust your filters to ensure consistent results 2. Best Practices: • Always use the "Preview People" button before importing to check your results • Iterate and refine your search parameters until you get the precise results you want • Test your search criteria in smaller batches first 3. Search Parameters: • When searching through companies, using company social URLs typically provides more accurate and consistent results than using domains • Make sure your company table and corresponding domain/social URLs are correctly connected to get relevant resultsTo get more consistent results, take time to refine your search parameters and always preview before importing to ensure you're getting the expected data.
