What counts as a search, lead, when are credits used

The three different types of search all consume the credits differently.

The main search - the industry search - will consume a credit only if a record is found that has an email address connected to it.

(search for 10 companies - only 9 have emails, only 9 credits are used)

A company may have more than one email address - but still only one credit will be used.

This is the main offer we have - when we talk '1000 leads' it is in this search model.

The next method is the people search - and we give these as ADDITIONAL credits to the clients over and above the 1000

this search consumes a people credit for each record returned, regardless of if an email address is found or not. Very low email address count here to be expected. 

And the final method of search is the single search. This search method will consume credits extremely quickly as it consumes one credit for each and every email address found from any company. Search for a company that has 40 staff listed and 40 credits will be consumed (from the main pool)
