5 Steps to Mastering Webtastic

In this article, we'll explain how to use Webtastic.ai to find clients with high purchase intent, who are therefore more likely to convert. We'll start by helping you define your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), then we'll walk you through how to find new clients that match your ICP, how to add them to a leadlist, and how to import that list into your CRM.

Step 1️: Define your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

To begin your outbound marketing journey, it's important to understand your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). You can analyze your existing customer base to identify common characteristics like demographics, industries, company size, company stage, revenue, or external funding events. Alternatively, you can conduct market research to gather data on industry trends, customer behavior, and competitor analysis.

Once you have a clear understanding of your ICP, you can move on to the next step: leveraging Webtastic's AI purchase intent targeting criteria to find clients that match your ICP.

Step 2️: Identify Purchase Intent Signals Based Leads

At Webtastic AI, we offer a wide range of purchase intent targeting criteria that you can select and/or combine. In this section, we'll go through all of the available layers.

👥 Instagram Following: Companies with a limited number of accounts they follow might be seeking fresh perspectives and collaborations to enhance their online presence.
