Tracking down a valid address to find someones email doesn’t have to be a chore. Whether you’re reaching out for sales, recruitment, or networking, these five simple strategies will help you uncover the right contact information quickly and reliably.

1. Scan the Company Website’s Contact Page

Many businesses list key team members or a generic email template. Look for a “Team,” “About Us,” or “Contact” section. Sometimes the footer hides an email pattern like firstname.lastname@company.com. Note these formats for later guesses.

2. Use Email Permutator Tools

Email permutators generate common address combinations based on a person’s name and domain. For example, try john.doe@domain.com or jdoe@domain.com. Then use a simple SMTP verification tool to test which permutations are valid.

3. Leverage Social Media Profiles

Some professionals share their emails on LinkedIn or Twitter bios. If it’s not public, send a polite direct message asking for their best contact email. Often, people appreciate the courtesy and will reply with accurate information.

4. Check Data Breach and Archive Sites

Sites like Have I Been Pwned or archive.org sometimes reveal email addresses tied to past data leaks or archived web pages. While you must respect privacy, these resources can sometimes fill in the blanks when other methods fall short.
