Refining and Sorting Your Results on Manta.com
Manta.com users can find information on more than 18 million private businesses in the United States, so we do our best to make it easy for you to find companies by location and/or industry.
To find just the information you're looking for, we offer a unique browsing system that narrows your criteria to deliver a manageable and focused list of companies.
You also can refine your list using our Refine Your Results tool, which allows Manta.com users to narrow their lists using these criteria:
- Company Revenue
- Number of Employees
- Public or Private
- Location Type
- Company Questions & Answers
Whether you do a search on Manta.com or choose the U.S. browse option in the COMPANIES navigation, you’ll land on a page with the title: "U.S. Companies by Category & Location"
On the right side of the page, you'll see a "Refine Your Results" control box:
How to Use the Refine Your Results Tool
|
Click the [+] Expand link to expand the box. 
Criteria: Company Revenue: Narrow your list if you know the revenue category of the companies youre searching for. You may choose more than one range. For example, if youre looking for companies with revenue of more than $350K, choose the last three options. Number of Employees: Use this option to look only for companies that fit your size criteria. You may choose more than one range. Public or Private: Use this option to find just public or just private companies. Location Type: This option lets you find headquarters or a branch near you. You may choose more than one option. Company Questions & Answers: This option allows you to search only for those companies that have questions and/or answers. The Company Q&A feature allows Manta.com users to ask and answer questions about specific companies. Please note that some company profiles do not include each criteria. Those companies will not be included in the refined lists. |

Auto Apply
As you make your selections in the Refine box, the tool will automatically apply your new filters. This "Auto Apply" process takes about 3 seconds; then the page will reload.
You may make as many selections as you like. The 3-second timer restarts with every new selection. If the Auto Apply reloads the page before you have made all your selections, just make those selections after the reload. As you make more selections from the Refine Your Results control box, the number of companies will be adjusted to match the criteria you selected.
If you decide to uncheck a selection, the Auto Apply will make that change as well.
Please Note: After you've refined your results and found the information you're looking for, the tool will keep your filters in place for every search or browse until you change or clear them using the Clear All Filters option.
Sort Your Results
Once you have a manageable list of company profiles, you can use the Sort option to organize the list by revenue, number of employees and alphabetically in both directions.
Each time you choose a Sort option, the page will reload and the companies will be listed in the order you chose.
These refine and sort tools were created as a result of direct feedback from Manta.com users. We invite you to try it yourself by browsing for companies or searching:
