Question 1

Where does Resquared get its local business and contact data?

Accepted Answer

Resquared blends public local-business data from websites, maps, social and review pages, public directories, government records, standard business classifications, and satellite-derived information. Its database covers 14,786,458 active local businesses in the US and Canada.

Question 2

How do Resquared's daily email sending limits work?

Accepted Answer

Your daily sending allowance is specific to your account or plan, and each email sent, including an automated follow-up, uses that allowance. When available capacity is in use, Resquared queues scheduled messages for later sending windows.

Question 3

How does Resquared use AI to create outreach campaigns?

Accepted Answer

Resquared turns a plain-language goal into a targeted business search, prospect list, campaign strategy, email sequence, and business-specific personalization. You can inspect and revise the targeting, geography, strategy, and copy before launching through the standard workflow.

Question 4

How does Resquared keep cold emails out of spam?

Accepted Answer

Resquared protects your primary domain by sending through warmed, monitored addresses on its own domain network, spreading low-volume outreach across inboxes and removing tracking pixels that can trigger filters. No service can guarantee inbox placement.

Question 5

What filters can I use to find local businesses?

Accepted Answer

Start with Resquared's AI Search, describe the businesses and geography you want, then inspect and refine the filters it creates. You can filter by location, category, business size, hours, recent reviews, contact availability, chain status, and location count.

Question 6

What results should I expect from local business cold email?

Accepted Answer

There is no universal reply or lead rate for local business cold email. Set the qualified conversations or booked next steps you need, work backward to the required outreach, and judge a complete three-email sequence against your own baseline.

Question 7

What cold email campaign activity and results can I track?

Accepted Answer

You can track emails sent, businesses contacted, replies, leads, scheduled emails, and each business's latest activity. Resquared no longer reports individual email opens because that tracking can hurt delivery and produce unreliable data.

Question 8

What sender email address do prospects see?

Accepted Answer

With Resquared-managed sending, prospects see your chosen sender name and the hosted sending address assigned to your account. Replies go to your designated inbox and remain visible in the platform.

Question 9

How do automated email sequences and follow-ups work?

Accepted Answer

An automated email sequence sends an initial message followed by scheduled reminders until the business replies. Any reply stops the remaining follow-ups, routes the response to your normal inbox, and signals that a person should take over.

Question 10

What kinds of contact email addresses does Resquared provide?

Accepted Answer

Resquared provides publicly listed business email addresses, including general inboxes such as info@ and addresses for named business contacts when available. Private personal addresses are excluded.

Question 11

Does Resquared support outreach channels besides email?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but email is the only generally available automated outreach channel. You can use business phone numbers for calls, linked Facebook and Instagram profiles for manual messages, and exports for direct mail or field visits; native social messaging is relaunching in beta.

Question 12

Can I export Resquared business and contact data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can export contacted-business and campaign data as a CSV from Reports, but you cannot export data for businesses you have not contacted yet.

Question 13

Where do replies to Resquared cold emails go?

Accepted Answer

Replies to Resquared cold emails go to your normal designated inbox and also appear in the Communication Center. You can handle them through your regular email workflow while retaining the campaign context in Resquared.

Question 14

How do I set up and launch a Resquared campaign?

Accepted Answer

Open Launch Campaign, describe the businesses, geography, offer, and desired result, then review the list and email sequence before clicking Complete to start sending. Resquared manages the sending infrastructure and automated follow-ups.

Question 15

What should I do when a cold email prospect replies?

Accepted Answer

Call an interested prospect the same day if possible, then send a brief personal email that answers their question and proposes one specific next step. Treat the reply as the start of a sales conversation.

Question 16

How can I organize and manage prospect lists in Resquared?

Accepted Answer

Start with Resquared's AI search, describe the businesses and market you want, then review the filters and map before saving a focused, clearly named list. Manage each list through campaigns, contact-status filters, replies, and Last Activity.

Question 17

What should I write in a cold email to a local business?

Accepted Answer

Write a short, plain-text note that leads with one concrete outcome and asks an easy yes-or-no question. Add one truthful detail about the business after the ask, and leave links, images and attachments out of the first email.

Question 18

How does geographic radius targeting work in Resquared?

Accepted Answer

Choose a center address and radius, and Resquared finds businesses in that circle that also match your other filters. A market plan covers any address plus a 40-mile radius, but your targeting radius should reflect the practical market for your offer.

Question 19

Can Resquared find business owners and other decision-makers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Resquared can provide staff and owner names on premium plans where available, along with public business emails and phone numbers, but not every record has a named decision-maker or direct contact.

Question 20

How can CRE brokers find and target likely tenants?

Accepted Answer

Start with the vacancy, then target local operators whose category, current locations, format, and expansion signals make them plausible tenants. Outreach is what confirms whether they have a real relocation or expansion requirement.

Question 21

How do cold email sending domains work?

Accepted Answer

Cold email sending domains are separate from your primary company domain, which helps protect everyday business email from outreach complaints. Resquared manages the sending domains, warming, rotation, and reputation monitoring while replies reach your normal inbox.

Question 22

What information is included in a Resquared business record?

Accepted Answer

A Resquared business record can include the business name, location, category, hours, reviews, size and location details, business email, phone, website, social links, and an RE2 online-presence score. Premium plans can also include available staff or owner names and estimated revenue for US businesses.

Question 23

How can I prevent duplicate outreach and suppress contacts?

Accepted Answer

Default to never-contacted or unique businesses, check contact status and scheduled emails before launch, and re-enroll a business only for a deliberate reason. Replies stop the current sequence, while removal requests suppress the business from all campaigns in your account.

Question 24

How do I build a targeted local business prospect list?

Accepted Answer

Start with the outcome you want, then define a business type and practical local market that fit that goal. Build a focused but reasonably broad list, remove obvious mismatches, and use outreach results to learn which traits predict a good prospect.

Question 25

How accurate is Resquared's business and contact data?

Accepted Answer

Resquared checks its business emails and phone numbers, but no local-business database is error-free or has one accuracy rate that applies to every field. Review a focused sample for business fit, contactability, and freshness before scaling outreach.

Question 26

Can I preview what prospects will see before sending?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Before sending, you can preview the sequence and see how business-specific snippets will appear, then edit the messages, timing, and personalization.

Question 27

Should first cold emails include links, images, or attachments?

Accepted Answer

No. Make the first cold email a short, plain-text note with no links, images, or attachments; offer the flyer, listing, case study, or calendar link after the prospect replies.

Question 28

How many emails should a cold outreach sequence include?

Accepted Answer

Start with a three-email cold outreach sequence: one initial email and two follow-ups, sent every third day when there is no reply. This gives prospects more than one chance to notice and answer your message.

Question 29

Can I run, edit, or pause multiple campaigns at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can run multiple campaigns at once. Resquared distributes sending across them automatically, but you should review edits before launch and ask support about changes affecting several active campaigns at once.

Question 30

How can Resquared personalize cold emails for each prospect?

Accepted Answer

Resquared can tailor part of each cold email using details from that prospect's online presence while keeping your offer and call to action consistent. Use a short AI snippet, preview the output, and place it in its own paragraph after the ask.

Question 31

How many businesses does Resquared's database cover?

Accepted Answer

Resquared's database lists 14,786,458 active local businesses across the US and Canada. Your available count will depend on the geography and filters you select.

Question 32

How often is Resquared's business data updated?

Accepted Answer

Resquared does not publish a fixed database-wide update interval; its records combine public sources that refresh on different timelines. Treat recent activity as a signal and confirm important prospects before acting.

Question 33

How does Resquared integrate with CRM systems?

Accepted Answer

Resquared has a native HubSpot integration; for Salesforce, Basecamp, and other CRMs, it can copy initial and reply emails through CRM BCC. You can also export contacted businesses as CSV, except on Starter.

Question 34

What makes a local business cold email campaign successful?

Accepted Answer

A successful local business cold email campaign targets a focused market, makes one relevant offer with an easy reply, protects deliverability, follows up, and turns positive replies into qualified conversations. Test the audience, message, and ask before scaling.

Question 35

How does Resquared validate emails and handle bounces?

Accepted Answer

Resquared checks business addresses before sending and manages list cleaning and sending health centrally. Do not retry a permanent bounce; use another public business contact, and ask support to review unusual bounce activity.

Question 36

How does Resquared handle unsubscribes and cold email compliance?

Accepted Answer

Every reply immediately removes that contact from the campaign, so nobody has to process an opt-out by hand. A reply asking to stop also excludes the business from every campaign in your account.
