Overview

This node operation allows users to search for companies that are lookalikes based on specified website domains and other optional filters such as domain, employee count range, countries, industries, and advanced JSON filters. It is useful for finding similar companies for market research, competitive analysis, or lead generation. For example, a user can input one or more company domains to find similar companies and narrow down results by employee count or industry.

Use Case Examples

  1. Find companies similar to 'example.com' with employee count between 50 and 200 in the technology industry.
  2. Search for lookalike companies based on multiple domains and limit results to companies headquartered in the United States.
