If you prepare outreach to a qualified publisher, you need the contact route appropriate to your request. Site Info: Site searches contact records for around 40 million sites, gathered from large-scale web collections. It returns details and relevant page paths found for a host, including email addresses, phone numbers, social accounts, and Contact, About, Partner and Affiliate pages where available.
Look up the host responsible for the content
A lookup for a main host returns that host's record. A lookup for a subdomain returns the subdomain's record. Related hosts are listed separately, so you can find the publication, research or help site that handles your request.
The report is independent of campaigns, so a website found through any other research can be checked directly without creating one.
What this is, and three things it is not
These distinctions decide whether this is the right tool for your task.
It is not verified for deliverability. An address appears because it was published on the website. Nothing tests whether it still accepts mail. If your outreach fails because emails bounce, an email verification service solves that and this does not.
It is not a journalist database. There are no reporter profiles, beats or publication rosters. If your work is pitching a named writer at a title, a media database is the tool.
It is not a person-level record. What a site publishes is usually a role or a route: an editorial address, a submissions form, a general enquiries line. That is frequently what you need, and it is not an individual's address.
Read the counts correctly
The Pages column counts collected page records, including repeat collections. It is not a count of unique current website pages.
Similarly, a contact seen repeatedly can have many recorded occurrences without representing several different contacts. A high number here describes collection activity rather than the size of the organization.
Show per field limits the displayed members. Full record retrieves the longer record when the short list omits something you need.
Choose the route by its purpose
The instinct is to find a named person. For the placements this research supports, that is often wrong.
Sites that accept contributions, listings, submissions or corrections usually state how they want to be approached. Following the stated route reaches whoever handles it, and it demonstrates that you read the page. Reaching past a stated process to an individual can read as having ignored it.
Match the route to the request. A partner page is more useful for a collaboration proposal than a general email address. A submissions form is the right destination for a contribution even when a named editor is listed elsewhere.
Read the current instructions on the live page before sending anything.
No fixed refresh interval or separate correction channel is promised. When a stored detail is wrong or outdated, use the current website as the source of truth.
When a record is thin
Some sites return few details or none. That means no contact route was found when the site was collected, not that none exists.
Common causes are a form-only contact page with no address in the markup, details rendered by script, contact information published as an image, and a site that has changed since collection.
Open the site when the record is thin and the prospect is one you would otherwise pursue. The absence is about collection, not about the business.
Where this belongs in the sequence
Look up contacts after qualifying the prospect, not before. Contact details for a site you should not be approaching are worthless, and qualification eliminates most rows.
When selecting the route, keep the publisher’s current instructions beside the message you intend to send.
See where the details come from, assessing contact information, or whether details are always available.
