What's The Difference Between 'Individual' And 'Industry' Searches?

Simply put, an industry search will return more results but it will be less specific and an individual search will return fewer results and be more specific. For an individual search you choose the exact business type you want to target. For an industry search you select the industry and our platform will find businesses within that industry. Another difference is the template mockups are only available for an individual search.

Why Is My Search Taking So Long?

Depending on the amount of results you requested, initial data are typically returned within 30 seconds to a couple of minutes. However, additional processing such as pre qualification checks, Lighthouse reports, mockup site creation, SEO scoring and verifying whether a website is functional will take longer. If you feel your search is taking too long, please contact support at support@leadbuckets.co, and we'll be happy to assist you.

I Still Have A Couple Of Credits Remaining. Why Can't I Create A Search?

In order to make a search you need to have greater than or equal to 20 credits. Upgrade your account to get more credits or contact us at support@leadbuckets.co if you think there's a problem.

Why Did My Search Fail?

Failures can occur for a number of reasons. If a failure happens, don't worry your credits will be automatically refunded. If you have any concerns, please contact our support at support@leadbuckets.co.

What Do The Search Statuses Mean?

Queued: The search is waiting to start.
In Progress: We are currently collecting leads.
Enhancing Results: We're pre qualifying leads, running page speed tests, SEO scoring and generating mockup websites. Partial results are available now, but page speed data, mockups, and site checks are still being processed.
Completed: The search is finished, and all analysis has been successfully completed.
Failed: The search could not be completed due to an error.

Why Are Fewer Results Returned Than I Requested?

If you set the limit to 1000 and perform a search in a small town or village, there may not be 1000 relevant businesses available. Any unused credits will be automatically refunded once the search has completed.

I Made A Search But No Results Were Found. Why?

Its unlikely that a search will not yield any results. When making your search ensure you enter a city, town or village. Searching country wide will lead to issues.

What Happens If I Make The Same Search Twice?

The underlying data comes from Google Maps. If you make the same search twice, you will get duplicated results. During a search, we deduplicate and ensure that only unique relevant businesses are returned, but it is your responsibility to keep track of what searches you have made.

Im Seeing Duplicated Results Across Multiple Searches

You need to keep track of your searches to avoid duplicates. Since our data comes from Google Maps, businesses near location boundaries can appear in multiple searches. For example, searching for plumbers in Midtown Manhattan and then Hell's Kitchen will likely return many of the same results. To prevent this, strategically plan your searches by dividing them across different industries and locations.

Why Are There No Performance, SEO, or Accessibility Scores etc?

Initial data with basic contact information will be ready in anything from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. Additional analysis will take longer. A search with a limit of 1000 will take approximately 15 mins. However, this may vary depending on load.

Why Are The Mockup Sites Not Visible?

The mock-up sites will only be created for a search type of 'individual'.
