I really prefer to use the linkedin search and not google search, since I'm not sure it works as good as the original linkedin search

Hey Guy! Happy to jump in for Juan, but as he pointed out, without an identifier like domain or company LI URL, the LI tools would have a hard time because that's a vague search. Pairing it up with a Google search is likely to increase accuracy but still some misses. There's one that combines the search in one column, called Find & Enrich from Google Search

Alternatively, Claygent and it's AI capabilities could help a bit too, but it'll likely rely on a google search too if it can't scrape LI for any reason

Hi Thank you I don't understand why it has to be so complex and why do I must have the LI ID or domain, why can't I just do a simple search like you do on linkedin? Like this: https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=rotem%20mizrahi%20isracard&origin=SPELL_CHECK_NO_RESULTS&sid=FX0&spellCorrectionEnabled=false

Because for that we would need to log into linkedin through your session and this will put you at risk of being banned, that's why we scrape the linkedin profile from the outside (google) using a simple search

I just found out that apollo can do that actually It worked well on a few rows, but doesn't work on the last one, can you check why?

Lack of data probably

You will find more insight with the normal linkedin enrichment

I recommend you to follow that path: web search name+company+linkedin> scrape link> enrich

OK Sometimes I only have the first letter of the person, or just the first name, but I know that they always have "marketing" in their title. Trying out that last path doesn't really work well (check the table). How can I make it more accurate?
