Before you begin

You need a Dotless account and a location or map area you want to prospect. A category is helpful, but you can begin broadly and narrow the results later.

New accounts include a first-search tutorial. After dismissing any current product announcements, the tutorial highlights New search and stays focused on starting the first search.

Complete your first search

  1. Open New search. Choose it from the sidebar or open the search screen.

  2. Choose an area. Search for a place or move the map until the visible area matches the market you want to explore.

  3. Set useful filters. Add categories, a minimum rating, or the website filter when your offer is intended for businesses without a current first-party website.

  4. Choose the result amount. A search can request up to 500 businesses, subject to the credits available in the workspace.

  5. Review the results. Confirm that a business fits your offer before unlocking contacts, assigning a pipeline stage, or preparing outreach.

Recommended next actions

  • Connect a sender before creating email sequences.

  • Use credits on leads that match your offer.

  • Move qualified leads into a pipeline stage so the next action remains visible.

  • Connect a supported CRM when your team manages follow-up outside Dotless.

Dotless helps organize prospecting, but you remain responsible for the messages you send and for following applicable privacy, marketing, and anti-spam rules.
