Get started in three steps

Clearcue helps you detect real buying intent by combining signals from multiple data sources, filtering them through AI, and delivering actionable lists of people and companies. Here’s how to get up and running.
Video placeholder — Record a 1-2 minute walkthrough showing the full setup flow: creating a signal, defining an audience, and building a list.
1

Set up your Signals

A Signal is a behaviour you want to catch — regardless of where it shows up. For example:
  • Someone engaged with a competitor’s content
  • A company is hiring for a specific role
  • A startup recently raised funding
  • A leader is expanding into a new market

​
What are Data Sources?

Signals are powered by Data Sources — the channels Clearcue continuously monitors to find matches. These include social posts, profile engagements, job listings, news articles, podcasts, and more.You don’t need to check each source manually. When you create a signal, Clearcue’s AI scans across all relevant data sources, filters out the noise, and surfaces only the matches that matter.

​
Create your first Signal

  1. Navigate to Signals in the left sidebar and click Create Signal.
  2. Choose a signal from the template library or describe what you want to track using Cue AI — Clearcue will create the signal for you.
  3. Configure the signal by providing the required details (e.g. a LinkedIn profile URL, company name, or topic keywords). Signal template library
Results are not available immediately. It may take a few hours initially for Clearcue to collect and process data from all sources. New records will be marked as New when they arrive.
Signal stacking — the real power of Clearcue. When a person or company triggers multiple signals (e.g. engaging with a competitor and attending a conference, or engaging with multiple competitors and hiring for a specific role), the combined pattern reveals much stronger intent than any single signal alone.

Define your Audience

An Audience defines who you care about — the companies and people that match your ideal customer profile. Think of it as a reusable filter you can apply to any view.By setting up Audiences, you focus Clearcue on the right segments of the market so you only see signals from prospects that actually matter to your pipeline.

​
Create an Audience

  1. Go to Audiences in the left sidebar and click + Create Audience.
  2. Give your Audience a name and describe it in natural language — include attributes like industry, company size, country, or funding stage.
  3. Click Generate Audience. Clearcue automatically creates filters based on your description.
  4. Review and refine the generated filters, then click Create Audience. Audience creation
Once created, you can apply your Audience as a filter across People, Companies, and Lists — instantly narrowing results to the right prospects.
You can create multiple Audiences to test different segments side by side and see where intent is strongest. Audiences can be edited or deleted at any time.
Create separate Audiences for companies and people. Use a company-only Audience (e.g. industry, size, funding stage) to see all companies collecting signals — the person generating the signal isn’t always the one you want to target. Then use a people Audience to filter for the right decision-makers within those companies.

Review leads and create a List

Once your Signals start collecting data, go to People or Companies to review the leads Clearcue has found. Apply your Audiences and signal filters to narrow down the results, then save that filtered view as a List to keep it updated automatically.

​
Create a List

  1. Go to People or Companies and apply your Audience and signal filters.
  2. Once you’re happy with the results, click Save and choose + Create a new List.
  3. Name your List — it will stay in sync as new leads match your filters.

Sync with your outreach and enrichment tools

Once your List is populated, you can push it to external tools for outreach or additional enrichment. See all available Integrations.
