You DON’T Need to Search Manually
If you’ve ever tried to find a single person’s phone number, you’ve probably already hit a few dead ends. Maybe you’ve Googled “{contact’s name} contact phone number,” scoured their social media profiles, or combed through their company’s website and various online directories. But for this tactic to yield results, the websites and search engine results you’re scouring need to be fully up-to-date and visible. And who’s to say how likely that is.
