Hi Robert, Thanks for reaching out! The error you’re seeing might occur if the company you’re searching for is too small to generate similar results. I recommend trying ocean.io for broader results or adjusting your targeting to include larger or more established companies. Let me know if you’d like further assistance or have additional questions!

www.ripndipclothing.com they are not small they have millions of social following and have been in business for almost a decade. they have 4-5 stores across the world. Is this search only going to work for companies like www.nike.com or the north face, Patagonia, etc?

Hey Robert, thanks for the follow up! Happy to help. This lookalike service, our providers primarily compare how companies describe themselves online (most of this is may be sourced from LinkedIn Company profiles and the domain is matched). I checked the only profile they appeared to have active, https://www.linkedin.com/company/rip-n-dip-inc/about/, but looks like they don't have a description our providers could leverage but you can provide your own which could achieve very similar results in combination with any other parameters you include in the query. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1249291545/e7a56d2882c7e7de526594cb1334/chrome_F8nKFO0Uvt.png?expires=1731439800&signature=cff6675c95cd19e3092e1530159f84b7e3449a2a331c95ca12f00046b7206fd6&req=dSIjH8t3nIRbXPMW1HO4zVxbjr0JaxVhNqji8KY8PtLoz7BBBklRtVAvS6SJ%0AyqNs%0A Alternatively, Ocean.io has a different type of Lookalike service where they collect other industry data points for their comparisons and tends to be a bit more accurate for companies who aren't usually active on platforms like LinkedIn such as many in the retail and apparel industries. Hope that helps!
