Description

This enrichment is powered by Ocean.io, a provider of lookalike companies based on advanced similarity analysis. 0bfdc090de99b88acc7276e2d8af4455a5e88453f8c36d2a038b5dab173d8655 Image Pn The Lookalike Companies Enrichment identifies and returns businesses that closely resemble a given company across key dimensions such as industry, size, geography, and online presence. This enrichment is powered by an external API provided by Ocean.io, which uses its own similarity engine to surface relevant company lookalikes. Similarity scores are calculated based on a combination of structured business attributes (e.g., number of employees, revenue range, industry classification, and country), semantic similarity of company descriptions, digital footprint overlap (such as website content and web signals), and additional contextual indicators sourced from Ocean.io’s data graph. For each input company (business_id), the enrichment returns up to 3 lookalike companies, including their firmographic attributes and a similarity score indicating the strength of the match (e.g., Medium or High). This enrichment provides a powerful signal for identifying companies that “look like” your target ideal for use cases such as lead generation, market expansion, competitive intelligence, and segmentation strategies.
  • Input: Provide a business_id obtained 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.

  • Always use a validbusiness_id obtained 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.
