Hunts

A hunt searches public listings for businesses, or public posts for creators, and keeps the ones that fit the campaign.

Local hunts

Set the city, a radius, and an industry from Helix’s list, such as Plumbing. Helix gathers businesses from public listings and local sources, then drops duplicates so the same shop is not contacted twice. You can see who is already advertising and who is quiet.

Creator hunts

A creator hunt looks for people who already talk about your category, inside an audience size you choose. Creator hunts are included on Start and Premium. Access stays on local hunts.

While it runs

A hunt does not finish in one response. It usually takes a few minutes, and the lead count grows while it runs. Leave the campaign open, or come back later. From an AI client, helix_campaign_status reports the same progress.

What it costs

Helix shows the estimate before you start. A local hunt spends 10 Strands to start and 5 Strands for each lead it keeps. A creator hunt spends 40 Strands to start and 6 Strands for each creator it keeps. If the balance is short, buy a pack and start again. The prices are also listed in Plans and costs.
