#2 Guess It

As a human, firstly, we all do this, guessing the person’s email in a logical way. It may feel like I am joking but in the reality, a lot of email addresses able to find in this simple way.

Companies use a common pattern when they create an email address for their employees. Guess the email address by the most common pattern, like

  1. firstname@company_domain.com
  2. firstname.lastname@company_domain.com
  3. lastname@company_domain.com
  4. firstnameInitial lastname@company_domain.com
  5. firstname lastnameInitial@company_domain.com

After analyzing our 20 million profile database, we found that most of the companies use the above patterns when they create an email address.

Many companies use the common email format to create an email address, you just need to know their names and company name.

For example, you are looking for the email address of Javith, CEO of LeadMine, but you were only able to find the email address of Janani, a marketing executive at the company.


[email protected]  (Format is: first_name@company_domain)

Likewise, [email protected]


Like snapping a finger, you could find someone’s email address by guessing it. But even after that, you may have doubts about whether the email address is right or wrong.

#4 Google Search Using Operators

Google is probably the best resource for online information, which includes email addresses, location, contact details, etc. All you need is the knowledge to do the searching.

Use Google advanced search to search and validate the email addresses that you are searching for. While searching in Google, just make sure the email address in quotation ("") to ensure the query is being done using the whole email address.

You can also search in Google for the name of the person followed by “email”, and adding their company name, their position, or other relevant professional information.

Eventually, you can use Google to search for an individual website. By using this format,

site:company_name.com person_name email

If, for example, you want to search for Javith’s email, you should type like this,

"site:leadmine.net javith email" and click it. Google will perform a direct search on that company's website and bring the results for you.

#5 In Social Media Profile

Social media just boomed in this 21st century among people. You could get someone’s whole history by just digging their social media accounts. So, finding an email address on social media is the right choice to make.

There are several social media platforms to get someone’s information but some Social Media are quite famous and user-friendly ones. Some of these are detailed below:

In Facebook

Facebook made it very easy to get someone’s information by providing the section called “About” on an account page. As always, some people may or may not include their email address in their bio.

If the email address isn’t mentioned on the account page, you can always try sending a message, ask them to get in touch with you in any way. Having some connect is better than nothing, right?

In Instagram

Likewise Facebook, Instagram bio has every detail about the person. Also, Instagram has a separate section in the bio for email, it’s like a favor for those who are all searching someone’s email address for business.

If you couldn’t able to find their email address, still it is better to know their name and other information about your targeted person.

In LinkedIn

For LinkedIn, you may need to connect with the person to see their personal information. Once you connected with the person in LinkedIn, go to their profile > click “Contact Info’, you may get their email address and other information in there.

In Twitter

If the email address isn’t in the person’s bio, you can use the Twitter Advanced Search option to find whether the person has ever mentioned their email address in previous tweets or anywhere else on their account. On the search results page, click “More Options” and select Advanced Search.

In the “Words” section, type keywords like “email”, “contact”, “outreach” etc. Some people might use symbols like @ and . for the words ‘at’ ad ‘dot’ to secure their information, so you can use those keywords too.

In the “From these accounts” section, type the user id of your targeted account.

If these attempts are getting wasted, don’t feel shy to do the old school method of reaching out on Twitter, mentioning to them why you trying to contact them. Most people are happy to connect with an email address.

#6 Company Website to Find an Email Address

A company website is a great place to find someone’s email address when you are looking for a business connection.

About Us page

On the About Us page, you might find their email address and position in the company. That information is enough for business communication if you ask me.

For example, in our “About Us” page, you can find an email address of the employees with their position,

Contact Us page

On the Contact Us page, you might have a chance to connect with businesses or inquiry about their service. Also, some companies provide a message box for their customers to get in contact with the perfect person in the company.
