Extracting Lower Level Domain Entities from HG Insights Results

Christopher B. · 2026-01-12T21:42:06.981Z

i ran a company search from product usage with HG insights and i did not select Highest hierarchy tiers. I see that it returned domains such as IBM.com (http://IBM.com) for small companies. Do i have to rerun the search to gt the lower level entitity domain or is there a way to extract the lower level entitity domain from my companies results table?

You can extract lower level entity domains from your existing results without rerunning the search. Use HG Insights' "Find company corporate structure" enrichment on your current table. [1]
Add a new column, select "Enrich Company," then choose "HG Insights: Find company corporate structure." Map it to your existing company domain field. This will give you the "Is Lower Level Entity" field and "Children" list, which contains subsidiaries and divisions.
You can then reference specific endpoints from the Children list to extract the domains of lower-level entities. [2]

Is that what you were looking for?

i guess but that is another 4 credits per row. Why would i be charged that when ive already given hg insights 8 credits per row originally. seems harsh.

I understand the frustration. Each enrichment action in Clay is charged separately because we pay data providers for each specific request. [1]
The original 8 credits per row gave you company search results, but finding corporate structure relationships requires a different API call to HG Insights, hence the additional 4 credits. [2]
This is how all data enrichments work - each action has its own cost based on what we pay the provider. [3] Unfortunately there's no way around the separate charge for the corporate structure enrichment.

I guess is there an option to limit the results of the Companies by product usage with HG Insights search to only include companies that are not subsidieraries? For example, I am looking to find people (eventually) at software companies with fwere than 1k employees, however the companies come back with IBM.com and Oracale .com etc domains, so when i eventually perform a people search it si going to do it on those large companies which i mam not interested in

Unfortunately, HG Insights doesn't have a direct filter to exclude subsidiaries in the initial search. The available filters are revenue, employee count, industries, locations, and domain exclusions. [1]
Your best option is to use the Domains to exclude field to manually exclude large parent companies like IBM.com and Oracle.com that you don't want. You can also filter by Employee count to "Less than 1,000" which should help reduce large corporations in your results. [2]
The corporate structure enrichment we discussed earlier remains the most comprehensive way to identify and filter out subsidiaries, even though it costs additional credits.

the coporporate structure did not work, it returns every domain from ibm for example. Useless.

Hey Christopher! Thanks for reaching out. Happy to help. You can apply a filter for employee count and set the hierarchy tier to corporate parent or group HQ when creating the source. Could you share your table url? Happy to review the results.
