Automated D&B Hoovers Contact Coverage Audit

Every Monday, WebRun opens D&B Hoovers, works through your saved target account lists, checks which companies have no named contact in the roles that sign, searches Gmail for anyone your team has already spoken to there, and posts the coverage gaps and the titles to find in Slack.

In short

How do I find target accounts where we have no contact in the buying role?

Every Monday, WebRun opens D&B Hoovers, works through your saved target account lists, and checks which companies have no named contact in the roles that sign. It searches Gmail for anyone your team has already spoken to there, then posts the coverage gaps and titles to find in Slack.

  • Accounts stuck for want of a name are identified every Monday
  • Each gap names the exact titles to research, not just the company
  • Warm names buried in old email threads are surfaced before cold research starts

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email any of these contacts?

No. WebRun never emails, messages, or connects with a contact. It reads your Gmail history only to find names you already know, and the output is an internal Slack list for your reps.

How does it decide which roles are missing?

You define the buying roles a deal needs, such as economic buyer, technical owner and signer. It grades every account against that list and names the titles still to find.

Does it work on lists we already saved?

Yes. It audits the saved target account lists in D&B Hoovers rather than building new ones, so it grades the accounts your team already decided to chase.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
