FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do list-building agencies use Forager people search?

Give an ABM agency a complete CXO and VP map for each named account so webinars, round tables and outbound reach every stakeholder. Find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

What does people search cost for list-building agencies?

People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. 1,000 search requests use 1,000 credits: about $13 of Starter credits month to month, or about $10 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

Why do list-building agencies add people search?

Deliver client lists without wrong-person numbers. Products like yours are judged on contacts that connect for every client, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what people search returns for your users before you build on it.

How do I map cxo buying committee at named accounts?

Enrich named accounts with POST /organization_search/ (employees, industry, locations). Map CXOs and function heads at each account with POST /person_role_search/ (seniority, department).

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send client ICP, buyer titles and company filters. You get back work_email, phone_number, decision maker and brand list, from POST /person_role_search/, as JSON.

Can we show Forager data inside our product?

Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager data to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.

Am I charged when nothing is found?

Yes. People search is charged per request, whether or not data comes back. Only mobile and email lookups are free when nothing is found, so try your inputs on a small run before you scale.

Is there a free way to try Forager?

Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.

How do I build sample leads for client pitch?

Search the client's ICP titles, industries and locations in the prospecting web app. Export the sample to CSV and review it with the client on the call.

How do I know the data is right?

The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

How is a people search API different from searching profiles by hand?

Searching by hand works for a handful of accounts. A people search API filters by title, seniority, department and location across your target companies in one request, returns people your product can act on, and hands off to a contact lookup for the mobile or email.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
