Troubleshooting

Possible reasons:
  • Query too specific (try broader search)
  • Location not recognized (try “France” instead of “Île-de-France”)
  • Industry doesn’t exist (try “software” instead of “SaaS blockchain”)
Solutions:
  • Remove one filter at a time
  • Try synonyms (“marketing agencies” vs “digital agencies”)
  • Increase max results (10 → 50)
Possible reasons:
  • Query too vague (“companies” vs “SaaS companies”)
  • Mixed criteria (“restaurants and law firms”)
Solutions:
  • Be more specific
  • One industry per search
  • Use location filters
Normal behavior: 20-40 seconds is typicalIf > 2 minutes:
  • Check internet connection
  • Try reducing max results (100 → 50)
  • Contact support if persists
Why it happens: Same company appears in multiple searchesSolutions:
  • tldr.work auto-deduplicates by domain
  • Manual: Delete duplicates from prospect list
  • Future searches won’t add existing prospects
