How does the B2B Discovery Engine find company websites for AI lead generation?

The engine runs 3-5 parallel search queries per company across Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo. It extracts candidate domains from results, filters against 18 known bad domains, validates DNS/MX records, and scores each domain 0-100 for confidence. Only domains above the threshold proceed to the web scraping pipeline.

What inputs does the B2B sales intelligence discovery engine accept?

Any seed input: company names, domain names, URLs, phone numbers, physical addresses, ZIP codes, or social profile URLs. For batch processing, the lead enrichment platform accepts CSV and Excel files with auto-detected column mapping.

How does DNS validation improve email verification API accuracy?

DNS validation checks MX records (can the domain receive email?), SPF policy (who is authorized to send?), DKIM selectors (are emails signed?), and DMARC alignment (is authentication enforced?). This pre-qualifies domains before email discovery, reducing wasted verification attempts.

Can the discovery engine handle LinkedIn enrichment for found companies?

Yes. The Social Mapping stage discovers LinkedIn company pages, employee profiles, Twitter accounts, and Facebook pages from search results. These social profiles are cross-referenced for identity confirmation and fed into downstream LinkedIn enrichment stages.

B2B Discovery Engine - AI Lead Generation & Domain Discovery
