Discover Search Best Practices

  • Select all citie(s) that you’re offering is available in + Nationwide (if all US) and/or Global (if located in multiple cities across multiple countries) for best results

  • Select ALL group sizes and ALL audiences that are relevant to your offering

  • Import your current reseller list so the system can 1. better manage those relationships and 2. ensure you are only presented with the newest Discover leads (otherwise, our system will have no way of knowing who you’re already working with)
