How do I narrow down an overwhelming number of results?

  • Queries span multiple industries: Broad terms like “cables” can match networking, power, automotive, and more—yielding thousands of irrelevant hits (e.g. networking cables when you need fire-resistant infrastructure cables).

    • Example: Instead of
      cables
      use
      fire-resistant infrastructure cables
    • Next step: After running this refined query, review the top business tags for patterns (e.g. “networking,” “fiber optic”) and add them to an exclude rule under New Rule → Keywords.
  • Adjust strictness & exclusions: A low strictness (3) broadens your match to any mention of “cables.”

    • Fix: Set your main product filter’s strictness to 1 for exact matching, then exclude repetitive irrelevant attributes you spot in the results (e.g. “networking equipment,” “data center cabling”).

Pro Tip: If you know the relevant NAICS code (e.g., 335931 for “Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing”), add it under Industry Codes to lock in only the precise manufacturing segment you need.
