  3. Enter the origin ZipCode, choose Radius, and optionally choose a Set Aside category.
  4. Press Search. This produces a download, rather than an on-screen contact-results table. Open the downloaded worksheet in Excel or Google Sheets and use the column reference below.
  5. Return to the form to change the radius or industry and run another list. Search creates the file; it does not send a campaign.

Choose the audience

Contact-list search by NAICS, ZIP, radius and set-aside

Field or action What it means and why to use it
NAICS Code Industry classification for the target companies. Enter a code before searching. A matching code does not guarantee a company offers your exact product or service.
Click here to search for a NAICS Code By Keyword Opens a code-finder view. Enter a word from the industry description and press Find NAICS; the finder matches stored descriptions containing that text. The grid shows naics (the code) and name (its description). Select copies that code into the main form and returns to it.
ZipCode Origin ZIP for the radius search. Use a known five-digit ZIP; the form does not validate it before export.
Radius Choose 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 miles from the ZIP; the default is 25. It narrows company locations, not their service territories.
Set Aside Optional filter, initially (Select a Set-Aside). The menu labels are 8a Competitive, AbilityOne, HUB-Zone, African American Owned, Hispanic Owned, Native American, Small Disadvantage Business, Women-owned Business, Veteran-owned Small Business and Service-disabled Veteran-owned. These choices filter stored business-type designations; they do not verify current certification or ownership. Confirm those independently before relying on the list.
Search Downloads the matching contact list when a NAICS code is entered. If the code is blank, the form stays open without a visible error. It does not send a message.

The search combines the NAICS code, a company location within the selected ZIP radius and any chosen Set Aside designation. Start with the closest useful radius, then widen it if needed. Companies without a usable stored location will not appear.

Example: choose janitorial services, then set the area

On October 12, 2026, Main Menu → Create Email Lists opened Marketing Email Blast. Select Click here to search for a NAICS Code By Keyword, enter janitorial, and press Find NAICS. The finder returned seven rows. They included 423850 for janitorial equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers, 424690 for janitorial chemicals merchant wholesalers, 453998 for janitorial equipment and supplies stores, and several descriptions under 561720, including aircraft janitorial services and Building cleaning services, janitorial. Choose the description that fits the work you sell: a building-cleaning service should not select a wholesale-supplies industry just because it contains the word janitorial.

Select 561720 — Building cleaning services, janitorial. The finder returns to the main form with NAICS Code 561720 filled in. Enter ZipCode 34684, leave Radius 25, and leave Set Aside at (Select a Set-Aside) for a list without a set-aside filter. Select Search to download the contact list for these criteria. The October 12 download contained 752 data rows and 11 columns. That count describes this search at that time; repeat the search for a current audience.
