Profile Service Area Filter

You can now filter your project or company search results by your service area. This new filter allows you to target only the projects that match the service area identified in your Predict Preferences.

We’ll cover how this new filter works, how to use it in project or company search, and how to utilize it in a saved search.

  1. How does the profile service area filter work?

  2. How do I use the profile service area filter in project or company search?

  3. How can I use profile service area filter in a saved search or search tag?

  4. Is this filter also available in Bid Center?

How does the profile service area filter work?

This new filter allows you to display only the projects or companies located in your service area. The filter is synced with your service area set in Predict Preferences. Any changes you make to your service area in Predict Preferences will be immediately reflected in the profile service area filter.

For instance, if you change you service area in Predict Preferences by adding the entire state of Connecticut and then go to Search or Bid Center and utilize the profile service area filter, you would now see projects located in Connecticut displayed.

How do I use the profile service area filter in project or company search?

In project and company search you’ll find the Profile Service Area filter option in the Location filter section.

Once you check the box for the filter you’ll see Profile Service Area under Filtered By:

In both project and company search you’ll now only see projects or companies that are found within your service area that you’ve set in your Predict Preferences.

How can I use profile service area filter in a saved search or search tag?

Once you’ve conducted a project or company search and then filtered your results by your Profile Service Area you can then save your search. While you can add other filters along with your Profile Service area you cannot add any other location filters on top of the service area filter.

Once you have your keywords and filters set for your desired saved search click on Save Search:

You can now enter the Name of your Saved Search and you will see all the applied filters or keywords that you’ve used in this search. In my example below you’ll see that I didn’t use a keyword but applied an “Updated in last 90 days” and Profile Service Area filter:

If your saved search returns less than 5,000 results in project search you can also choose to create a search tag. The Profile Service Area filter is a great addition to a Saved Search with Search Tag since it will not only filter down your project results to only include the projects in your service area but also it stays synced with your service area settings in Predict Preferences. If you add or remove any territory in your Predict Preferences service area it will be reflected in your saved searches and your daily project updates if your saved search includes a search tag.

Saved Searches with a Search Tag deliver project results for your daily project updates (DPUs). With the addition of the Profile Service Area filter to your DPU you will get targeted results sent to your email inbox everyday.

Is this filter also available in Bid Center?

Yes! You can filter by Profile Service Area in Bid Center as well. When selecting this filter you will only see projects in your Bid Center that are located in your Profile Service Area set in Predict Preferences.
