Your request

"Find sheet metal fabricators with laser cutting and powder coating in NRW, 20–200 employees."

Search plan — every step justified

01

Search term "laser cutting sheet metal contract manufacturing NRW"

Why: targets manufacturers with their own laser system — not steel traders or portals.

02

Deep crawl: machinery, PDF brochures, certificates

Why: powder coating is often only in the machinery PDF — not on the homepage.

03

Matched against your target profile

Size, region, anti-personas — anything unsuitable is dropped before the result.

01 — The process

From a sentence to a finished list — in six steps.

No search forms, no filter studies. The assistant works like a good analyst: it asks for the goal, lays out its plan and delivers a result you can verify.

1

Set your target profile

Four core fields: what you offer, whom you're looking for, in which region, in which size class. Plus anti-personas — who should never appear in your list again.

2

Your request in a single sentence

"Find sheet metal fabricators with laser cutting in NRW" is enough. The assistant understands technical German — processes, materials, certificates, regions.

3

Plan with rationale

Before the search, the assistant shows every search term and answers the question "Why this search term?". You step in before the search runs.

4

Search + deep crawl

Kodo searches the live web and deep-crawls every candidate website: machinery, PDF brochures, certificates, references.

5

Scored leads with source

Every hit comes with an ICP score, decision-maker and evidence link. Knowledge-graph-verified companies are flagged — and what was filtered out stays visible, with rationale.

6

Lists + weekly digest

Hits land in lists. The assistant keeps searching weekly and reports new companies that pass your target profile — as a digest.

02 — The data depth

The assistant reads what databases can't see.

Industry codes don't recognize machinery. Kodo deep-crawls every candidate website and qualifies by what the company can actually do — not by what is in the register.

2.1

Deep crawl instead of a homepage glance

Subpages, machinery, PDF brochures, certificates, references — the assistant reads the entire website, not just the homepage.

2.2

ICP scoring

Every company is scored against your target profile: the best leads at the top, borderline cases flagged, unsuitable ones filtered out — with rationale.

2.3

Decision-makers with source

Names and positions from the legal notice and commercial register — and an evidence link for every piece of information showing where it comes from.

2.4

Anti-personas

Distributors, portals, associations, consultancies: defined once, permanently excluded — before they clog your list.

03 — Lists & Digest

FAQ

FAQ

Everything you need to know about AI-powered B2B lead search.

What is B2B lead search with AI?
B2B lead search with AI means that software automatically searches the internet, analyzes company websites, and evaluates prospects based on your defined criteria — without manual research. Kodo crawls live websites and PDF documents, extracts technical content such as machine parks and certifications, and calculates a Buy Fit Score per prospect.
How does Kodo differ from classic address databases?
Traditional contact databases deliver static contact data that is often outdated. Kodo crawls websites and PDFs in real time and extracts technical details like installed machines, manufacturing processes and certifications — data that is in no traditional database. On top of that, Kodo scores every prospect automatically against your individual Ideal Customer Profile.
Which data sources does Kodo use for lead search?
Kodo primarily uses publicly accessible company websites, PDF brochures, capability sheets, and industry directories. All data is extracted directly from live sources, not from static databases. This ensures that the information is up-to-date and company-specific.
How accurate are the results?
The accuracy depends on how much structured information a company publishes online. For industrial companies with detailed websites and PDF brochures, Kodo provides very precise results. Every lead is provided with source references, so you can transparently understand the basis of every evaluation.
Is Kodo GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Kodo only analyzes publicly accessible company data — no personal data within the meaning of the GDPR. Processing takes place on European infrastructure. For the specific use of contact data in sales, we recommend involving your legal team accordingly.
Which industries is Kodo best suited for?
Kodo is particularly strong for technically oriented B2B industries: mechanical engineering, medical technology, automotive, aerospace, chemical, and process industries. Wherever companies publish technical details about machine parks, manufacturing processes, or certifications, Kodo can qualify particularly precisely.
How quickly do I get initial results?
After entering your search query and ICP profile, Kodo usually delivers initial qualified prospects within a few minutes. For extensive search queries with many criteria, the full analysis may take a bit longer — you will receive a notification as soon as your report is ready.
What does lead search cost?
Kodo offers a free start without a credit card or subscription requirement. For larger search volumes and advanced features such as CRM integration and change monitoring, there are paid plans. Details can be found on the pricing page, or you can arrange a demo directly for an individual offer.
