# Searches

## Search

A new "search" is when you enter in a business type and a location. (ex. Plumbers in San Jose, CA)&#x20;

Starting a new "search" involves entering in a business category and location, for example "Plumbers in San Jose, CA." This process ensures that the final search results are relevant businesses within your defined parameters.

**👉 NOTE: There may be multiple contact emails in a single search result.** In cases where multiple emails are discovered, we provide **all identified emails at no additional cost.**&#x20;

## Keyword

This is the main keyword you are using to search for businesses. For example if you are looking for plumbers then you would search for the keyword 'plumber'.&#x20;

[Google has over 4,000 different unique business categories](https://daltonluka.com/blog/google-my-business-categories) in Google which is a good place to find ideas of what ot search.

## Maximum Search Results (Businesses)

Enter in a number of search results (businesses) you want this particular search to look for. After the system finds the number of businesses it will stop searching.&#x20;

This is to ensure that your account will only search for the number of search results you enter.&#x20;

## Location (City or State)

This is a location selector. So you start typing the area where you want to search and it will show you the locations that the system has a match for.&#x20;

In the graphic below you can see how there are two different searches for different areas which yielded multiple results.&#x20;
