Tutorial

  1. Give the full names (and companies/locations) of the users you're interested in

    You have two options:

    1. Process a single name
    Type the full name (first + last) directly into the Phantom's setup. You can also add some additional information, such as the person's location, to help make your results more accurate (e.g. John Smith London).

    2. Process multiple names
    Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the full names and paste them into your spreadsheet - one person per row, all in column A, or across separate columns (column A and column B for example).

    Make this spreadsheet public so PhantomBuster can access it.

    Copy the spreadsheet URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup. 

  2. Choose the region and language of your profile search

    In this section of the Phantom's setup you can narrow down your search and choose which search market the Phantom should look for your profiles in, by country and language.

    E.g. If your targets are mostly based in the Francophone region of Canada, you can choose "Canada - French (fr-CA)".

    If you can't see your country or language on the list, don't worry - simply choose the next best option to you, where you're still likely to find your targets.

  3. Specify the number of names to process per launch

    Tell the Phantom how many names you would like it to process each time it launches.

    If the Phantom does not process all of the names in your input spreadsheet during a launch, it will pick up from where it left off in the next launch.

  4. Enable turbo mode

    Due to the nature of how this Phantom works, it will take ~25 seconds to process one query.

    If you're in a hurry to get your results, you have the option to Enable turbo mode. Doing this will speed up the Phantom's processing time so that it will process one query in ~5 seconds instead, but will use up your execution time very quickly (a similar amount as would be used with the regular setting).

    So use it wisely!

  5. Set the Phantom on repeat

    Automation always produces better results in the long run. Set the Phantom to launch repeatedly and get results while you're away!

    This Phantom runs from the cloud, which means you don't even need to have your browser open or computer on for these launches to happen.
