How It Works
How It Works

business_idobtained from the Match Businesses API. - Processing: The system identifies businesses with high similarity scores based on business attributes, descriptions, and digital footprint.
- Output: A list of lookalike companies with attributes such as name, website, industry, size, revenue range, and similarity score.

Best Practices
Best Practices
Always use a validbusiness_idobtained via the Match Businesses API.- Interpret similarity scores to prioritize the strongest matches for your use case (e.g. focus on “High” similarity for precise lookalikes).
- Combine lookalike insights with other enrichment signals (e.g. firmographics, technographics) for deeper segmentation.
- Re-run lookalike queries periodically to capture changes in the business landscape and discover new similar companies.
