Through our Ocean.io integration which allows for more detailed filtering based on: • Industry categories • Company size ranges • Technologies used • Geographic presence • Revenue ranges • Keywords in company descriptionsThe effectiveness of lookalike searches is particularly high when you use your most successful customers as a baseline. This approach allows you to leverage existing successes to find highly similar companies that are more likely to convert.Each method provides detailed company information and similarity scores to help you evaluate the quality of the matches. The data comes from reputable sources (Indeed and Ocean.io), making it reliable for business prospecting and competitive analysis.

Each search result consumes one credit, and you can control the number of companies returned.

It's pretty hard to find companies in volume using clay and it's a bit inaccurate too. Clay team pls let me know if this can be fixed
To improve the accuracy and volume of company search results in Clay, here are some key strategies: 1. Iterate and refine your search parameters: • Start broad and then narrow down gradually • Remove restrictive filters to capture more companies • If you get irrelevant results, use negative exclusion criteria • Adjust headcount ranges to expand your list 2. When using Google Maps integration: • Be patient as results load - initial dozens can grow to hundreds • Filter by ratings for quality control • Use additional data enrichment to validate companies • Look beyond basic data by investigating services, websites, and social presenceRemember to regularly preview company profiles to ensure they align with your target criteria. The key is to iterate multiple times, as your first set of search parameters likely won't be optimal.
