Lead with Product Interests — They indicate active buying intent. Someone interested in "Cybersecurity Software" is likely evaluating solutions.

2

Include title variations — "Chief Information Security Officer" and "CISO" are often the same person with different titles.

3

Aim for 20K-100K audience — Too small won't deliver, too large wastes budget. Add or remove company sizes to hit this range.
