Overview
Recommended Searches are AI‑powered search suggestions designed to inspire your next prospecting move. Instead of starting from a blank search bar, you’ll see curated search queries tailored to your prospecting style, recent activity, and ideal customer profile.
These are not lists of contacts or companies — they’re search templates you can click to instantly run a search in Lusha.
