This guide takes you from a new account to a running campaign. Your Dashboard shows the same four steps until your first campaign starts sending.
Before you start
- A Signalsant account. See Sign-in and account settings.
- The Moderator role or higher in your team. You're the owner of your own team.
- A mailbox you can send from: Gmail, Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com, or any SMTP mailbox.
1. Find companies
Search what's already in Signalsant on Companies, for example "dental clinics in Austin with an email". If a market is missing, click Deep search at the top of the page (or Start a deep search on your Dashboard) to find businesses on Google Maps.

2. Build an audience
Put the companies you want to reach into a group. You can:
- tick them in search results and click Add to group;
- use Create group on a finished Deep Search.
You can also use a ready-made group from the Default library.
