See how it worksThe address available for each business depends on what is publicly associated with it. Some records have a general inbox, while others have an address tied to a named business contact. Premium plans may also include staff and owner names.
A general inbox can be valuable at an owner-run, single-location business. The owner or another decision-maker often monitors it, so you do not need a title-specific address to begin a conversation.
General inboxes are less useful at large chains, where the person monitoring the address may not control local decisions. Independent businesses make up 87% of the active local businesses in the database, so these inboxes remain useful for local prospecting.
You can filter a search to businesses that have an email address. Keep good-fit businesses with general inboxes in your list, and use an owner or staff name when one is available.
What to do
- Filter your search for businesses that have an email address.
- Choose businesses based on their fit with your market, offer, and campaign goal.
- Keep good-fit owner-run businesses even when only a general inbox is listed.
- Use a staff or owner name when available, while sending to the listed business address.
