Improving Clayagent for Better Google Search Results

Ammar Kamran · 2025-04-07 16:57:35.173212+00

Hi everyone, I have found that I'm quite limited to finding the right decision makers for a company from the Clay Find People and Apollo's API function. Therefore as an alternative I tried to use the Clayagent to perform a Google Search via Google Search's Operators and then output me the LinkedIn profiles from that. However, I'm still not fully able to do it properly. Some issues that I face: 1. I want the agent to give me results from the first 3 pages of the Google Search - so far it doesn't 2. I want it to ideally give me only results that have the company name which I have listed 3. I want it to output me exactly what is shown in the results - Full Name - Job Title - LinkedIn URL - Any other description about the profile. I am using the operators site:linkedin.com/in "Company Name" "Country" -intitle:jobs -intitle:job -inurl:jobs

To use Clayagent for a Google search with operators to find LinkedIn profiles, you can structure your search like this: site::[linkedin.com](https:://linkedin.com) intitle:"[Job Title]" AND "[Company Name]" To get results from the first 3 pages, you'll need to adjust your search settings or use multiple queries. For company-specific results, include the company name in quotes. Example: site::[linkedin.com](https:://linkedin.com) intitle:"CEO" AND "Tech Company" You can enhance this by combining terms with AND/OR operators and using minus (-) to exclude irrelevant results. Remember, while this method can be effective, it may not capture all available information from LinkedIn profiles. If you need more assistance, please request human support in this conversation.

Hey there Ammar thanks for clarifying taking a look at this. One thing that we can try here using the Clay meta-prompter to see if this prompt can be re-written to be better taken in by the AI. The meta prompter can be found in the bottom right hand corner of the prompt input titled "Help Me"

Additionally one thing to note here is that we do not use your cookies when using Clay, so when the Claygent starts searching for results, if a profile is private it will not be pulled, so this may also affect the results of this column as well.
