Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Cleveq's business intelligence platform, from getting started to advanced features and strategic applications.

How Can We Help You?

1. Getting Started

What is Cleveq and how does it help with business intelligence?

Cleveq is a comprehensive analytics and networking platform built for executives, entrepreneurs, consultants, and experts. It uses AI-powered enrichment to pull business data from multiple public and member-shared sources in real time, turning it into easy-to-read, actionable reports that support smarter decisions.

How do I create an account and what do I get for free?

Simply register on cleveq.com and choose a monthly or yearly plan. Every new user gets 25 free trial credits to explore our features before committing to a paid plan.

What are trial credits and how do they work?

Trial credits allow you to test company searches, enrichments, and database queries. Once they run out, you can either upgrade to a paid plan or purchase more credits.

How do I navigate the main dashboard and access different tools?

The dashboard is organized into sections: Company Analysis, Networking Database, Marketplace, and Reports. From here you can track credit usage, launch searches, or view saved data.

What's the difference between AI-extracted vs API-verified data?

AI-extracted data is fast and broad, pulling insights from online sources in real time. API-verified data is validated against trusted databases and is recommended for critical business decisions.

2. Company Analysis Tools

How do I analyze a company website using the 9-panel system?

Enter a company's name or domain. Cleveq automatically generates a 9-panel analysis covering traffic, SEO, paid ads, backlinks, keywords, financials, content strategy, competitors, and decision-makers.

What insights can I get from company analysis?

  • Website traffic & domain ranking
  • Competitor benchmarks & market position
  • SEO and paid ads performance
  • Financial signals & business model insights
  • Growth trends and hiring signals

How do I interpret traffic estimates and domain rankings?

Traffic estimates indicate audience size and momentum, while rankings reveal visibility against competitors. Together, they show how strong a company's digital footprint is.

What does backlink analysis tell me?

It shows the strength and credibility of a company's online presence by highlighting referral sites, partnerships, and media mentions.

Can Cleveq help predict growth?

Yes. Historical data shows whether a company is growing, plateauing, or declining — giving you an edge in risk assessment and opportunity spotting.

3. Network Database

How do I search and filter the company database effectively?

Use filters like industry, location, revenue, or funding to find exactly the companies or people you're looking for.

What makes Cleveq's database unique?

Unlike generic lead lists, our database combines over 30,000 businesses with enriched AI insights on decision-makers, giving you context-rich profiles that drive meaningful outreach.

Can I export data for my CRM?

We don't provide direct export from our Network Database for Standard and VIP members to keep our databases fresh and prevent spam. Our strategy focuses on high-converting lead generation that can only be achieved through a manual approach based on our enriched data.

If thousands of businesses start spamming our database, it quickly becomes unresponsive like most big databases you can buy elsewhere. Instead, we offer our members several pre-categorized databases in the Downloads section, organized by different business niches. Members can simply download these databases and export them to their CRM.

4. Marketplace

What is the Cleveq Marketplace?

The Cleveq Marketplace is where our members can promote their products and services, and where we curate the most interesting SaaS products powered by the latest AI technology. With so many powerful tools being published every day, it's hard for members to keep up with demand — so we provide a simple way to discover new tools organized by different categories, plus a directory of growth experts, consultants, developers, media buyers, and creators.

Why is this valuable?

You can discover new products and connect with vetted experts daily — saving time when building your stack or finding talent.

5. Credit System & Pricing

How does the credit system work?

Each action (e.g., company analysis, enrichment, or export) costs a set number of credits. Standard plan users get 100 monthly credits; VIP users get 500.

What are trial vs subscription credits?

Trial credits (25) are free for testing the platform. Subscription credits are renewable monthly and can be topped up at any time.

Do unused credits roll over?

No — credits reset monthly. To maximize value, use them before renewal.

6. Subscription Plans

What plans are available?

  • Standard Plan: $97/month — 100 credits, perfect for small teams and solo founders.
  • VIP Plan: $297/month — 500 credits, VIP-only features, exports, and advanced insights.

Is yearly billing available?

Yes — yearly plans come with 2 free months.

Can I upgrade or cancel anytime?

Yes, you can switch plans or cancel directly from your account dashboard.

7. Enrichment & Research Features

What are the two types of enrichment available?

Cleveq offers two distinct enrichment types to match your research needs and budget:

  • Standard Enrichment (1 credit) - Uses AI to analyze publicly available information and provide basic company and contact insights. Available to all Standard and VIP plan users across Network and Marketplace pages.
  • Comprehensive Enrichment (VIP only) - Leverages specialized API providers for granular data analysis including verified contact details, financial metrics, traffic data, and detailed market intelligence. Only available on the dedicated Analyse page for VIP members.

What do I get with Standard Enrichment (1 credit)?

Standard Enrichment uses AI to analyze public sources and provides:

  • Basic Company Information - Company description, industry classification, and general business overview
  • Key Personnel - Leadership names, general roles, and publicly available professional backgrounds
  • General Contact Data - Website, general company email, and public contact information
  • Business Context - Basic market positioning and general company insights

Available to: Both Standard ($97/month) and VIP ($297/month) plan users on Network and Marketplace pages.

Where can I use each enrichment type?

  • Marketplace Page - Basic information about AI tool vendors, service providers, and business partners

Comprehensive Enrichment (VIP only):

The Analyse page provides the most comprehensive research experience with multi-panel analysis, historical data, and premium data sources not available elsewhere.

How does data accuracy compare between enrichment types?

Standard Enrichment: Uses AI analysis of publicly available sources. While comprehensive, this data relies on public information and may require additional verification for critical business decisions.

Comprehensive Enrichment: Leverages premium API providers with:

  • Real-time verification - Contact information checked against live databases
  • Multiple source validation - Cross-referenced data from several specialized providers
  • Regular updates - Continuously updated from premium data sources
  • Quality scoring - Confidence scores for data reliability assessment

Both enrichment types are valuable, but Comprehensive Enrichment provides higher accuracy and verification for business-critical decisions.

Who benefits most from these reports?

Entrepreneurs, investors, consultants, and agencies who need decision-ready insights without hiring a large research team.

  • Have specific research data from your preferred tools and sources
  • Want to combine information from multiple research platforms
  • Need to present findings to other people in a professional format
  • Want a higher-level view of all your collected data by simply pressing a button

This method transforms your manual research work into presentation-ready business strategy reports automatically.

10. Data Collection & Privacy

How does Cleveq collect data?

Cleveq combines human research, AI enrichment, and verified public sources to build a comprehensive picture of businesses and their key decision-makers. Our team of analysts manually reviews and compiles business-related data only, such as:

  • Company name and domain
  • Professional titles and roles
  • Work email addresses and office phone numbers
  • Company headquarters and office locations
  • Professional background such as education and work history

We do not collect or process sensitive personal information, such as financial details, credit card numbers, religious or political views, gender or sexual orientation, or health records. Cleveq's sole focus is helping professionals connect with other professionals for sales, partnerships, recruiting, and business development — never personal profiling.

Do members control their data?

Yes. You are always in control of your data inside Cleveq. Members can:

  • Choose to add their professional information when creating a profile
  • Edit, update, or delete their data at any time via their account settings
  • Control visibility by deciding how much information to share with other members

In addition, Cleveq proactively notifies professionals when their business information is included in our database. We provide clear instructions for modifying or deleting records. Once a profile is removed, we take technical and procedural steps to ensure it is not re-added in the future.

Is Cleveq GDPR compliant?

Absolutely. Cleveq operates under a governance framework aligned with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and equivalent frameworks worldwide. In line with Article 14 of the GDPR, we notify individuals when their data is added to our database, provide transparency on how it is processed, and offer an immediate right to opt out.

Beyond GDPR, we maintain compliance with US regulations such as CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), and follow best practices outlined in international standards like ISO 27701 for data privacy management.

Our policies ensure that data collection is lawful, limited to professional contexts, and always accompanied by clear rights for the individual.

How can users opt out?

Cleveq makes opting out simple and fast. If you would like to remove your profile from our database:

  • Email support@cleveq.com with your request
  • Our team will confirm and permanently remove your record
  • Once removed, we implement safeguards to prevent the re-entry of your information

We respect every individual's right to privacy, and we are committed to making the opt-out process as seamless as possible.

Does Cleveq align with privacy regulations worldwide?

Yes. Cleveq is built with compliance at its core. We align with major global privacy laws including:

  • GDPR (Europe)
  • CCPA (United States)
  • Other applicable regional frameworks in markets where we operate

Even before GDPR came into effect in 2018, we had already implemented internal processes for transparency, notification, and opt-out controls. For example, our Global Notification Plan ensures that professionals are informed when their data is added and have immediate access to removal options.

Our approach means that Cleveq users can trust that their business data is collected responsibly, processed lawfully, and used only for professional purposes like sales, marketing, and recruiting.

You can update your profile, manage subscriptions, and track credits directly from your dashboard.
