Every other tool in Landbase’s toolkit does one thing. Build Audience is where they all come together.This is the tool that takes your targeting criteria — who you’re looking for, at what kinds of companies, matching what description — and produces a complete, qualified list of contacts. It’s the output of a workflow compressed into a single step.
Build Audience runs up to five processing stages in a single call:
Expand — if you provided exemplar companies or seed accounts, the system expands to find similar companies and generates ranking boosts
Search — all your company and contact filters execute against the search index, boosted by the expansion signals
Merge — exemplar boosts and semantic boosts combine (strongest signal wins for each company)
Materialize — results are assembled into a table you can view, sort, filter, and export
Qualify — if you defined qualification criteria, AI evaluation runs and writes verdicts into the table
You don’t have to use all five stages. A simple firmographic search skips straight to stage 2. Adding exemplars activates stage 1. Adding qualification activates stage 5. The tool adapts to what you provide.
Show What's happening under the hood
The agent orchestrates multiple subsystems — search indexing, similarity expansion, embedding pipelines, and AI qualification — in a single function call. Exemplar domains are force-included and similarity-boosted via pre-computed expansion. Semantic phrases go through a multi-stage pipeline: embedding, nearest-neighbor seeds, then similarity graph expansion. All boost signals merge by taking the max score per company. If qualification is requested, a new table is created with AI qualification columns and optionally a preview qualification runs immediately.
Without Build Audience, you’d run each tool separately — search for companies, then find contacts, then qualify them, then export. Build Audience collapses that into a single request that chains the tools together automatically. The agent picks the right tools based on what you ask for.Every enhancement to the individual tools (better semantic search, deeper qualification, richer lookalike models) automatically improves Build Audience because it orchestrates all of them.
