Finding someone’s email address can be tricky, especially if they’re not listed on social media or websites. But don’t worry – there are still plenty of ways to track down their email address.

Here are six tips and tricks for locating anyone’s email address or finding contact information online.

1. Check Their Company Website

Most businesses list their employees’ contact information on the site, including their email addresses. If you know where the person works, this is a great place to start looking. Look for a press release that mentions their name. Press releases often include contact information, which is another great way to locate an email address. We often look past the most obvious answers. For example, plenty of websites provide email addresses on pages such as “contact,” “about us,” or “meet the team.”

2. Search Their Personal Website, Blog, Or Social Media (If They Have One)

People sometimes list their contact information on a personal site or blog, which can be found by searching for the person’s name in Google (or whichever search engine you prefer). Use social media networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn to see if they have listed their contact details online. Many people publish their email addresses on these platforms, so it’s worth checking out if you know where to look.

3. Use An Online Search Engine Like Google or Bing

This is a great way to find someone’s email address if you don’t already know their name or where they work. You can type in keywords related to the person’s job, interests, or other information that might help locate them. Type the person’s name into a search engine and see what comes up.  You can also look up the person’s name and “email” in quotation marks. This will likely turn up pages that may show the person’s email address if it’s been publicly posted before. For example:

  • [name] + email (or) email address
  • [name] + contact (or) contact information (or) contact me
  • [name] + “email”
  • [name] + “contact”
  • [name] + “home town”
  • [name] + “company they work for”
4. Use Email Discovery Tools

If you’re having trouble finding an email address, there are tools available that will help. You can easily find an email address by using an email lookup service. All you need to do is enter a person’s name and/or the website, and then the tool will search for the matching address. Popular services like Hunter, Swordfish ai, zoominfo, and Voila Norbert can be used to locate email addresses quickly and easily.

Even though email lookup tools can be beneficial, there is no guarantee that you will find the address you are looking for every time. The free searches have limited options, and the paid versions can become quite costly if you don’t get the desired results.

However, there is good news! There is an almost endless number of email lookup tool options on the internet, so research to see which one works best for your needs. So check reviews and try out a few different services to see which works best for you.

5. Use Professional Networks Like Linkedin

The best way to find a person’s direct email contact information is by searching through the company’s email network. Every employee of an organization has an in-house email account. However, if you’re looking for someone’s direct email for purposes such as a job interview or media coverage and you don’t already know where they work, swordfish.ai and LinkedIn are great places to start your search.

If the person is a professional, they may have created a profile on networking sites like LinkedIn. You can search their name and look at the profile to see if they’ve listed any contact information, such as an email address or phone number. If not, you may be able to send them a message through the site to request their contact details.

6. Use Twitter’s Advanced Search Feature

Twitter’s advanced search feature can be a great way to find someone’s email address. You can narrow down your search results by using keywords, locations, and even the date range of tweets.

Just go to Twitter’s advanced search page and type in the person’s name or other information about them that you may know (i.e., their job title and the company they work for). Then select “Advanced Search” to refine your results. You may be able to find an email address if the user has posted it in a tweet before.

Some users put their email addresses in their tweets or Twitter bios, but they use “dot” and ‘ instead of the standard characters such as “@” to hide it from bots.

If you want to find your prospect’s email address, go to Twitter Advanced Search and type in “dot” or “at.” You can also select specific phrases to look for, words to ignore, accounts, and hashtags. For example, including the words “contact” or “email” will give you more accurate results.
