Bruno R.··Hi Jason, thanks for reaching out! Do you mind sending the link to the table so we can take a look? https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1171717996/ac7729f84b426e1d0358af02/image.png?expires=1728328500&signature=d9aec845793c9e77e35ae18b9ec68fa0d3a78ce793730309268dc9453d0a7028&req=dSEgF85%2FmohWX%2FMW1HO4zYTywCP%2FBJ8T2BKsam%2FhVPuO0g%3D%3D%0A

Hi Jason, it looks like most of the companies you're working with here as small businesses, for which people search coverage can be more tricky. Here are some considerations you should keep in mind when running people searches: 1. Inputting semantic search parameter instead of syntactic search: A limited set of job title keywords applied to the role being targeted. Our search algorithms are based on syntactic search which means you must put every variation of the keywords you're looking for (ie CEO and Chief Executive Officer). When this happens, some matching profiles may be missed because they were not included in the search query. Can you share a bit more info job titles you're searching for? It'll help to include a variety of keywords related to those titles. For example, including other keywords related to sustainability such as ESG, CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility. For Digital Product Passport, it could be keywords like Product compliance or digital asset management. 2. Mapping the wrong inputs in the people filters. For example, not mapping LinkedIn urls from the company table to run the search. 3. Search limits applied to the people search. This reduces the number of records that can be imported from a search. 4. Private profiles: Our data providers use a multitude of ways to access people and company data. For the most part though, we don't use your cookie/login data. This means that we could miss some information here and there, especially if there are privacy restrictions in place for certain profiles. This would mean that your logged in profile has access to it, but our data providers may not. However, we're continuously working on improving our search algorithm to provide more coverage. I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!

Hi Jason, thanks for following up with more context. As I mentioned earlier, when working with job titles, it’s essential to include all possible variations of a title to ensure you capture the widest range across your list. For example, if you’re looking for CEOs, make sure to search for both "CEO" and "Chief Executive Officer." It’s also important to account for variations that might occur across different functions, companies, or industries. Some roles may have unique titles depending on the organization's structure, so covering all the possibilities will maximize your chances of finding relevant data. As for your second question on linking the correct social URLs to your people search, here's how you can make sure that they are correctly linked: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1207846989/e2d1da70c6ddc3d141b9d6ed3b65/CleanShot+2024-10-07+at+15_31_54.gif?expires=1728331200&signature=40620fd1d3cc019068db9a62f518f994df94c08548be06954841dca0a1b74ecf&req=dSInEcF6m4hXUPMW1HO4zfxjpsOIqDclupCdLSEzUC9ZgUsI8IP1%2F2keZEJ2%0AxwI8%0A It looks like the linkedin URL is automapping for this table so you should not worry about this issue specifically, but rather focus on finding as exhaustive of a list of job titles as possible to maximize your lead coverage. I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!

so I was able to get 6000 in my preview but only 773 names game out in the import
- Jason Y.··
I provided a very comprehensive list
- Jason Y.··
any chance you can help me further troubleshoot this?
- Bruno R.··
Hi Jason, this is likely a coverage issue related to the size of the companies you're targeting. When focusing on smaller organizations, it can be challenging to find a large number of leads in very specific functions, as those roles may not exist within the company. Unfortunately there's not much we can do on this issue.
- Jason Y.··
got it - thanks!
- Bruno R.··
Happy to help, is there anything else I can support you with here?
- Jason Y.··
1 more thing 🙂
- Jason Y.··
for some odd reason it's not giving me posts now
- Jason Y.··
Happy to give you the search criteria I'm using if you'd like
- Bruno R.··
Hi Jason, I see the search criteria in you post search here. Can you direct me towards a lead which has included on of the following key-words in a post on their timeline? money2020 #money2020 money20/20 #money2020USA money2020USA Would be happy to look into the discrepancy issue here.
- Bruno R.··
If there are no discrepancies between the lead-level data and the post-search results, it likely means there are no posts matching the specific keywords you provided across the current list of leads. However, if you do notice any discrepancies, feel free to reach out, and I'd be happy to assist further!
- Jason Y.··
got it - thanks!
- Jason Y.··
i'm circling back
- Jason Y.··
can you please re-open this
- Jason Y.··
nothings popping up when I search LinkedIn at all
- Jason Y.··
I took out the hashtags
- Bruno R.··
There is still a search parameter which limits your post search to the past week. Could you link an instance in which the lead has posted in the past 7 days and the post is not retrieve in your post search here? I'll take a look at this discrepancy.

Looks like the three posts Mathieu posted in the past week are being found in your table: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1207922995/f856c2a4930d16b6655d54ffaf6f/CleanShot+2024-10-07+at+16_37_29.gif?expires=1728335700&signature=c9b116f7c6492e9ac756f72f8f3a2ed57b2bc8436c873d5341fe4fcbc8f3fe8b&req=dSInEcB8n4hWXPMW1HO4zeb45G1PrakjVpGJFAsAWqs%2Bl5Nk6yss56%2Fa5gni%0AzK6C%0A
