Frequently Asked Questions About Nterprisers Search

Answers to frequently asked questions about the Nterprisers Search feature, a powerful tool for supplier sourcing and sales.

What is Nterprisers Search?

Similar to how a search engine like Google might look across the internet for data to answer your questions, Nterprisers Search looks across our database of robust, curated manufacturing data to yield the best result.

Nterprisers data sets include thousands of pre-built Company Profiles, created based on publicly available information and then enhanced by the Manufacturing companies themselves. 

How is Nterprisers Search different from Google?

Nterprisers data set only includes domestic Manufacturing companies and manufacturing industry partners, such as the MEP National Network or APEX Accelerators.

> This makes searching fast and relevant. No more clutter or noise.

Search filters allow you to focus on specific states, counties or towns.

> This allows local-for-local procurement and partnering.

Nterprisers Search allows you to pair filters and keywords for very precise sourcing, for example "woman-owned defense CNC turning" in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.

> This saves time and yields more qualified results.

Who can Search the Platform? What will I see when I use Nterprisers Search?

Anyone can use Nterprisers Search.

The number of results and the level of detail you can see on individual Company Profiles varies by user tier.

  • FREE: Search by keyword or company name. You'll get 5 results (randomly picked) within your local market. The profiles will show a basic company overview and address; the rest of the profile will be blurred.
  • PLUS: Results encompass all matching companies. Use additional filters such as Location, Industry Codes, or Number of Employees to narrow down your results. Sort by relevance, distance or alphabetical.
  • PREMIUM: Additional, investor-level filters are available such as Company Structure, NtryTM value estimate, and whether a company owner has marked themselves as open to investment inquiries. 
How many times can I Search?

Search as many times as you want or need to reach your goals.

Every user and Subscriber has an unlimited number of Searches.

FREE Users will see a limited number of results; paid Subscribers will see as many results as are relevant for their query.

Do I need to use special operators to improve results?

Our team has worked to make Search easy and natural, so that you don't have to use special operators like wildcards, etc. 

It will automatically yield variations -- "dog" also gives you "dogs," "woman-owned" also finds profiles with "women-owned"and so on.

The most relevant results will be at the top of list every time.

What if I can't find my own company (or a local manufacturer I know)?

Nterprisers does its best to identify all private businesses in a state.

If you cannot find a company that you know is private and manufacturing locally, try toggling the search field between "Manufacturers" and "Other Businesses." 

Toggle search - manufacturer, other business

If that company appears in Other Businesses, you can Flag as a Manufacturer and we will quickly review.

If you still cannot find the company, help us correct the omission! Email support@Nterprisers.com
