Company sources and AI-generated search queries

Prospecting 12 min
Business problem

Manual company search is dozens of queries that still return the same 20 results. AI knows hundreds of phrasing variants, domains, directory sites and can build boolean searches — but only if you give it a concrete ICP and the task 'generate queries', not 'find companies'.

Proven method

Company sources (10): Google, Google Maps, LinkedIn, industry directories, marketplaces, business databases (CEIDG/KRS), social media, job portals (posts = active companies), review portals (G2, Capterra, Google reviews), your own data. AI helps in 5 ways:

  1. generates search queries in language variants,
  2. builds keyword combinations (product + industry + location + problem),
  3. points out directories for the niche,
  4. creates boolean searches (site: linkedin.com/company + phrases),
  5. expands the list: from 20 found companies it generates 100 similar ones by pattern. The rule: AI generates QUERIES and PATTERNS, and you (or tools) run the searches.
Market example
BAD
Unstructured prospecting without ICP filters and generic outreach to random accounts.
GOOD
Instead of 'marketing agencies Warsaw' AI creates a set: marketing agency Warsaw, performance marketing Warsaw, SEO agency Warsaw, site:linkedin.com/company marketing agency Warsaw, digital agency Warsaw + a directory site (e.g. a company catalog). Each query is a separate list of potential companies, and from one good company AI generates 20 similar patterns.

Local services version: add Google Maps as a source + phrases like 'near me', cities.
