Set Up Discovery Keywords
Keywords are the topics Signado watches on LinkedIn. People who comment on posts about those topics become your warm leads. This is the one setting that drives everything, so it is worth getting right.
Before you start
Set up your business profile first. Signado needs to know your company and what you sell before it can score leads or let you add keywords.
Add a keyword
- Go to Settings then Keywords (the Discovery Keywords page).
- Type a topic in the field, for example
cold email,outbound sales, orRevOps. - Click Add.
A new keyword is added paused. Nothing is scanned and no credits are spent until you turn it on.
Turn it on to start
Flip the keyword's toggle to Active. The first search fires right away, and the first leads usually appear on your Warm Leads page within 5 to 15 minutes.
Run a keyword preview before you activate (1 credit). It shows the kind of posts and commenters a keyword pulls, so you can confirm it matches your buyers before discovery starts spending.
What makes a good keyword
Pick the language your buyers use, not your brand name:
- The category you sell into.
- Your competitors' names and product categories.
- The problems and phrases your buyers write about in posts and comments.
Broad keywords find more people but fewer of them fit. Specific keywords find fewer people but a higher share of them fit. Preview a few and keep the ones that pull your ICP.
How many keywords you can have
Each plan allows a set number of keyword slots. A slot is used whether the keyword is active or paused.
| Plan | Keywords |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Starter | 4 |
| Growth | 8 |
| Scale | 16 |
Your daily budget is shared across all active keywords. Each active keyword gets an equal share. If you activate many keywords on a small budget, each one's share can drop below the 3 credits one lead costs, and that keyword will stop finding new leads. Either raise your daily budget or keep fewer keywords active at once.
Change or remove a keyword
- Pause a keyword by toggling it off. Discovery stops for that topic, and leads you already found stay on your Warm Leads page. See pause and resume.
- Delete a keyword to stop it for good and free the slot. Leads it already found are kept.
