# Overview AutoReach provides multiple lead discovery methods across X and LinkedIn. Access them from the **Leads** page, which has four tabs: * **All**- Every lead discovered across all your sources * **Signals**- Leads found from intent signal searches, scored and ranked in real time * **Sources**- Extractions from lookalike accounts, link extractions, and CSV imports * **Lookalikes**- Manage your saved lookalike accounts To add new leads, click **Add Lead** on the Leads page. You'll choose a platform (X or LinkedIn), select an account and offer, then pick a discovery method. ## X Discovery Methods When you select X, four options appear: ### From a Lookalike Extract followers or following from a specific X account. You provide a target username, choose followers or following, and set a max count. AutoReach paginates through the list and scores each person against your offer. Enable **Buyer Expansion** to automatically re-extract from seed accounts daily to capture new followers. **Best for:** Mining the audience of industry accounts, newsletters, or competitors on X. ### From Signals (Intent Stream) Search X for people discussing problems your offer solves. AutoReach generates targeted search queries from your offer, or you can provide your own keywords. Both tweet authors and commenters are captured as leads. Advanced settings let you configure max tweets, days back, whether to include replies, and max replies per tweet. Enable **Buyer Expansion** to automatically re-run this search every 24 hours with fresh keywords. **Best for:** Finding leads showing active buying signals on X.

To target specific companies, use **By Company** instead.

AI can generate descriptors from your offer, or you can enter your own. Enable **Buyer Expansion** to re-run each descriptor daily and capture new companies as they appear. **Best for:** When you know the *type* of company you want to reach but not the people yet. Returns one focused lead per company instead of many.

[Learn more about Lookalike Audiences →](/finding-leads/lookalike-audiences.md) ## Lead Pool (Instant Matching) AutoReach maintains a shared pool of pre-enriched lead profiles with vector embeddings. When you create or update an offer, the system automatically matches existing pool entries against your ICP. Matching leads appear in your pipeline instantly- no waiting for enrichment. The Lead Pool is fully automatic. You can see pool-sourced leads by filtering the All tab by "Pool DB" source. **Best for:** Getting scored leads instantly without waiting for enrichment. [Learn more about Lead Pool →](/finding-leads/lead-pool.md) ## CSV Import Click **Import Leads** on the Leads page to bulk-import leads from a CSV file. Upload your file, preview the results (including duplicate detection), select accounts for enrichment, and confirm. AutoReach supports X handles, LinkedIn URLs, and email addresses. Imported leads are automatically queued for enrichment and scoring. ## CSV Export Select leads from the All tab and export them as a CSV file. The export includes profile information, scores, contact details, source data, and enrichment results. Use filters to narrow down which leads to include before exporting. ## Cross-Platform Profile Matching Cross-platform matching (finding X profiles for LinkedIn leads and vice versa) is a **manual action**, not an automatic pipeline step. Select leads, click Enrich, and enable "Find LinkedIn" or "Find X Profile" under Profile Discovery. See [Lead Pool](/finding-leads/lead-pool.md) for details. ## Choosing the Right Method | Method | Platform | Best For | | ------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | From a Lookalike | Both | Scaling via relevant community audiences | | By Role | LinkedIn | Systematic targeting by role/location/industry | | By Company | LinkedIn | One decision-maker per matching company | | From Signals | Both | Intent signals from active discussions | | From a Link | Both | Capturing engagement on specific posts | | Add Manually | Both | Adding individual prospects | | Lookalike Discovery | Both | Finding relevant accounts to extract from | | Lead Pool | Both | Instant matches from pre-enriched profiles | | CSV Import | Both | Bringing in external prospect lists | ## Quick Start 1. **Starting fresh?** Click **Add Lead**, choose a platform, and select **From Signals** to find intent-driven prospects. 2. **Have specific role/location targets?** Use **By Role** (LinkedIn) for precise filtering. 3. **Want to scale quickly?** Discover **Lookalike** accounts, then extract their followers. 4. **Need fast results?** Create an offer and let the **Lead Pool** instantly match pre-enriched leads. 5. **Want continuous growth?** Enable **Buyer Expansion** on your searches and extractions for daily autopilot discovery. > **Note:** All lead discovery methods automatically score new prospects against your offer for fit, intent, and timing before they appear in your pipeline. > **Warning:** Lead quality depends on accurate ICP definition.
