To contact a company and its employees, to make a deal or to sell a product, or if you are a user - to get important information on the use of the product, you need to have one or more effective methods because email addresses are not always easy to find.
There are many options, from manual searches to particular tools and parsers. You can connect with the person you need by email and social networks.
I've prepared a list of methods, tools, and channels to use to find business contact information and quickly start communicating with its representatives.
- Searching with an email finder platform
- Scraping data through the LinkedIn extension
- Finding companies' data via crawler tools
- Find a way to connect with Product Hunt
- Search contact data via Google
- Manual search by social networks
- Manual search by company website
The contact information of companies can be obtained in both bulk and single formats. Bulk formats involve the use of lookup platforms and extensions to find business addresses.
Manual searches can be used for single ones, but it is essential to note that platforms or specialized search tools are the fastest way to find a company email address, even for single cases.

B) Company email addresses scraping through the email finder extension
What you can find: email addresses, social network links, and other relevant info about the company.
Milosz Krasinski, Managing Director at Chilli Fruit:
«Professional platforms like LinkedIn are particularly useful. While reaching out directly via LinkedIn is an option, here you can also reveal the names of key personnel, which can then be used to find a particular email address. About 50% of our contacts when it comes to link building outreach come from Linkedin.»
For instance, a great way to find business contact data is by using LinkedIn extensions. With the GetProspect Email finder plugin, you can do this in just a few clicks.

Get only accurate contact companies data with a 95%+ accuracy guarantee
The Email fInder extension from GetProspect has a 12-step email verification process, which allows you to target the correct contact data and get the most out of the plugin.

Steps to find a company email address with Screaming Frog:
1. Launch the Screaming Frog SEO Spider program on your computer.
2. After opening the crawler, enter the URL of the company's website in the search bar at the top of the program and click the «Start» button to initiate the website scanning process.
3. Once the data collection is complete, navigate to the «URL» tab on the left sidebar of the app.
4. In the filter field located at the top of the URL tab, enter keywords such as «contact», «email», and «support» to filter the URLs that may contain contact info.
5. Review the filtered URLs to find business email addresses or phone numbers.
6. Click on the URLs to view detailed information about the page in the main window of the application.
Here I could not find anything with the key «email», but very quickly, I found a contact phone number with the key «contact».
But when searching for data from another company, I was able to obtain an email address as well.
Why should you consider this option? It works with Windows, macOS, and Linux. This method of finding company email addresses is significantly faster than a manual search. You don't need to visit each company's website individually. Simply enter the link and find the email address or phone number.
What should you pay attention to? This method takes more time compared to using dedicated email search platforms. The free version has a crawl limit of 500 URLs per query, which reduces the chances of finding contact data. I found the right ones after spending a lot of time with this parser.
So, the unlimited paid plan costs $259 per year. Here, you can process more pages and have more opportunities to find the desired information, including viewing the found pages, such as «contact us» in HTML. In the free version, you may find pages with contact data, but you often can't view them.
However, with the paid version, you can access the HTML pages and retrieve the necessary data, such as email or phone number.

Email searching through Product Hunt and GetProspeсt Email finder

Collaborative search via Product Hunt and GetProspect is worth considering because the Product Hunt website gathers the best enterprises, and you can find practically any company you want there, along with a list of its employees. It is completely free and doesn't take much time.
With the help of GetProspect, you can quickly find the missing data, including business contact information.
What do you need to take into account? As mentioned above, the first solution is the usual manual search, and it's free. While in the case of GetProspect, you need to sign up in advance, and if you need more than 50 valid emails every month, you need a paid subscription.
What you can find: email addresses.
Type «[Name of company] email» or «site email: [domain]».
Why is this option worth considering? You can find the email of the company for free.
What should you pay attention to? If you need to find email addresses for multiple companies, this search option takes more time than the previous ones. Moreover, this method is not always effective. Out of the searches for five different companies, I was able to find emails for only one of them.
Find company's email address by visiting social networks
What you can find: email addresses, phone numbers, social network URLs.
Ilan Nass, Chief Revenue Officer at Taktical Digital:
«Checking the businesses' social media pages is one way to locate additional contact data. On their social media profiles or in their posts, many companies list their contact details, including business contact information.
To request it, also you can try sending a direct message to the business's social media account. Social media sites present a chance to interact with the business's online community and learn more about its brand voice and messaging.
When creating customized messages for the company or its representatives, this data can be helpful. Checking the business's social media pages can also yield useful details about its goods and services, as well as any most recent news or updates to personalize future messages/emails.»
What you can find: email address.
On LinkedIn, look for contact information in the «About» section. Unfortunately, I managed to find the email of only one company out of 10 searches.
Why is this option worth considering? You can find the email of the company for free.
What's worth paying attention to? This option is good only if you need to get one email address, but if you want several, it's better to use an email search tool.
Looking for a company’s email address via Facebook
What you can find: company's email address, other social network links, etc.
On Facebook, when you go to a business page, you can see contact data in the «Intro» section.
Note. People often leave such data on Facebook rather than on the LinkedIn section «About» (according to my experience).
Why is this option worth considering? First of all, it's free, and secondly, there are actually more chances to get all the necessary data to contact the company you need (if it has a page here, of course).
What's worth paying attention to? This option is good only if you need to find one contact, if several, it's better to use mass email lookup tools.
Find the email address of the company by visiting its websites
What you can find: email addresses, phone numbers, social network URLs.
A) Looking for a company’s email address in the «Contact», «About Us», or «Team» pages
Steps to find a company email address on the website:

Look for email addresses listed for specific departments or key personnel.

Also, check for contact forms or phone numbers where you can reach them.
Also, as you can see, you can find URLs on social media, which is undoubtedly an additional way to contact prospects.
