Overview

The Local Search feature in AiXUP is one of the most powerful ways to discover local businesses and uncover multiple decision-makers inside each company. Designed to work like Google-style local search, it helps sales rebels quickly identify companies, verify contact data, and reach the right people—all while using credits efficiently.

This guide walks you through how to run a Local Search, manage credit usage, expand results, and maximize value from each company record.



What You’ll Need Before You Start

  • An active AiXUP account

  • Available credits (Local Search uses 1 credit per company with at least one email found)

  • A target industry and location


Step 1: Navigate to Local Search

  1. Log in to your AiXUP dashboard.

  2. Go to Lead Search.

  3. Select Local Search.

Local Search is ideal when you want to:

  • Target businesses in a specific city or region

  • Prospect by industry or service type

  • Find multiple contacts within the same company


Step 2: Enter Your Search Criteria

Industry / Business Type

  • Enter the service or industry you want to target.

  • Example:

    • Plumbers

Location

  • Enter the city and state you want to search.

  • Example:

    • Jackson, Mississippi


Step 3: Create a New List

If you don’t already have a list:

  1. Choose Create New List.

  2. Name your list clearly.

    • Example: Plumbers – Jackson, Mississippi

  3. Click Save.

Lists help you organize prospects and manage follow-ups efficiently.


Step 4: Run the Local Search

  1. Click Continue to start the search.

  2. Initial results will be added to your list automatically.

Example:

  • 12 companies successfully added to your list


Step 5: Load More Results (Optional)

  1. Scroll down within the search results.

  2. Click Load More to retrieve additional companies.

  3. Repeat as needed until you have enough results.

Example:

  • Additional 7 companies loaded

  • Total companies found: 19


Step 6: Understand Credit Usage

  • Local Search only deducts 1 credit per company when at least one email is found.

  • Companies with no emails found do not consume credits.

Example:

  • 19 companies found

  • 16 companies with emails

  • Only 16 credits deducted


Step 7: Access Your Saved List

  1. Click Go to List from the top-right corner.

  2. Review all companies added from your Local Search.


Step 8: Review Company Information

Inside your list, each company may include:

  • Company name and address

  • Employee size

  • Google review data

  • Social media profiles

  • AI Assistant tools (summaries, similar companies, insights)

This provides full context before outreach.


Step 9: Explore Contacts Within Each Company

One of the biggest advantages of Local Search is multiple contacts per company.

You may find:

  • Marketing Directors

  • Digital Managers

  • Vice Presidents

  • Other key decision-makers

  • Verified email addresses

Even though only one credit is used per company, you can reach multiple people within that business.


Step 10: Take Action with AI & Labels

From your list, you can:

  • Use the AI Assistant to generate summaries or outreach ideas

  • Create custom labels (e.g., Contacted, Follow-Up, Priority Lead)

  • Track when contacts were created

  • Verify if additional data becomes available


Best Practices

  • Start local and scale outward

  • Load more results strategically to control credits

  • Prioritize companies with multiple contacts

  • Use AI insights before outreach for better personalization
