Ignite helps you to find prospects that need what you sell, by leveraging BuzzBoard’s multiple signals to search the BuzzBoard SMB database. Once you identify viable prospects, you can add them to your BuzzBoard account and view details of the business.
Buzzboard’s Global Search bar is available throughout the application to search for new businesses or profiles that are already added in your account, at a specific location.
Different combinations of search options will fetch different prospects, so it’s important for you to understand each option and how best to combine them to get the desired results.

Similarly, when searching for a complete postal code the leads in that postal code will be filtered.
