What the Display Feature Does

The Display feature allows you to limit the number of contacts shown per company in your search results. By default, all available contacts are displayed, but you can adjust this setting to show a maximum of 1-5 contacts per company. This is especially useful for focusing on key decision-makers or ensuring a manageable lead list.


How to Use the Contact Volume Control

Step 1: Perform a Contact Search

After entering your search criteria (e.g., industry, job title, location), click Search to generate results.

Step 2: Access Display Options

Above your results list:

  • Locate the Display dropdown menu (as shown in the screenshot).

  • Click to expand filtering options.

Step 3: Select Contact Limit

Choose from six configurations:

  • Up to 1 contact per company

  • Up to 2 contacts per company

  • Up to 3 contacts per company

  • Up to 4 contacts per company

  • Up to 5 contacts per company

  • All available contacts

Your results automatically refresh to show only the specified number of contacts per organization.

Benefits of Controlling Contact Volume

  • Focus on Key Decision Makers: Limiting contacts helps prioritize executives rather than getting overwhelmed by multiple lower-level employees.

  • Avoid Duplicate Accounts: Essential for account-based marketing strategies where you want one primary contact per department.

  • Credit Conservation: Preview fewer contacts initially, then expand results selectively to optimize credit usage.

  • Streamline Lead Management: Smaller lists make it easier to organize and analyze data.

  • Avoid Overlapping Outreach: Prevent contacting multiple individuals from the same company unnecessarily.


Key Considerations

  • Best Practice Tip 💡: Combine this feature with Management Level filters to surface only C-suite or managerial contacts within your chosen limit.

  • Common Mistake ⚠️: Don’t set limits too strictly - some companies require contacting 2-3 department heads for complex sales cycles.

  • Data Accuracy Note: UpLead maintains high email verification accuracy regardless of how many contacts you display per company.


FAQs

Q: How does UpLead choose which roles to display per company?
A: The platform randomly selects contacts to display. It does not prioritize contacts based on hierarchy. However, you can refine your search by selecting a specific management level within the Search Criteria to ensure the results align with your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).

Q: Can I combine this with other filters?

A: Yes - use it alongside 50+ filters like Revenue Size or Technology Stack for precision targeting.

Q: What happens if a company has fewer contacts than my limit?

A: UpLead shows all available contacts that match your criteria without padding results.

Q: Can I change the display settings after downloading my list?

A: No, display settings only affect what is shown in your search results before downloading. Adjust them prior to exporting your list.
