Understanding Company Exclusion in Find Companies Tool
When you’re using find companies, and you set it to exclude companies from an existing table, how does it match / exclude those companies? By name, website, etc?

This is done through the "Exclude Companies" section, which helps prevent duplicates and ensures your current search doesn't include companies you've already identified in other tables.

Owen C.··Hey Mathew, thanks for reaching out! Excluding companies is done on the company domain or LinkedIn Profile URL level. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
