How to Get Company Details by Company Name in Bulk

Well, let’s start off supposing a company name right by you, what would you have done first to find the website URL?

Your first instinct might be to simply Google it. But what if you have 1000s of company names with you?

Sure, you could try to Google each one, but this task quickly becomes impractical unless you have superhuman speed and patience.

For the sake of this article, let’s suppose you don’t have superpowers, and you have a list of companies with you, but no corresponding website URLs or other business details.

In this blog, I’ll walk you through the whole process of retrieving website URLs or domains from company names. In the process, I will be answering the following questions too.

• Can bulk retrieval of company details be done?

• If yes, what data points or details you can know about a company?

Yes, it is possible to get company details in bulk. This whole process of extracting business details (company details) through one data point (company name) is known as data enrichment.

Having a data enrichment process enables you to have an up-to-date database. There are different tools and APIs, that can do it.

Typically, tools offer business URLs, some might offer URLs and logos. These tools are good starting points to know about a business. Once retrieving website URLs from these tools, you can visit these URLs and can pick up whatever data point you need.

But, wait manually again?

So what if you want more information on companies by their name and not merely their URL and logo?

You can do that by using a data enrichment API. At enrichmentapi.io, we provide a dedicated API that can do this type of data enrichment in bulk.

As we already discussed, not all tools give the same output.

This variability comes from how these tools are built and source the data first. Business data is dynamic – it evolves and expands over time. A company might change its website, relocate, or undergo a rebranding, all of which can affect the data associated with it. As a result, the tools designed to gather this data must constantly update their databases to keep pace with these changes.

Another challenge arises from the integration of multiple data sources. Different tools use different data pools and sometimes struggle to associate certain data points that belong to the same comapny.

For instance, a tool might successfully retrieve a company’s website URL but fail to provide accurate information about its new phone number if its database isn’t up-to-date or fully integrated.

And there you have it—a quick tutorial into how you can effortlessly collect company details on a large scale.
