Need to expand your prospect list but only know a few website domains used by your ideal customers? By leveraging tools like FlashRev, you can easily find company profiles by searching for specific domains.
In this guide, we’ll explore how to find companies by domain as a targeted lead generation tactic.
What Does It Mean to Find a Company by Domain?
Finding a company by domain refers to searching for business website domains, then identifying the associated companies using those domains.
For example, if you know your best-fit customers frequently use domains like @customers.com, @clients.biz, and @accounts.net, you can input those into a platform like FlashRev. It will return company profiles actively operating on those exact domains.
This allows you to discover new prospects likely to share similarities with existing customers, since they have opted for the same domain names.
Why Find Companies by Domain?
Searching for companies by domain offers several benefits for lead generation:
- Quickly uncovers new companies resembling your current ideal customer profile, based on the domain signal.
- Allows you to easily expand your prospect list and market reach without extensive research.
- Provides a sense of credibility when contacting the new companies, since you already work with others on their domain.
- Surfaces companies that may be familiar with you if their colleagues use your product.
- Repeatable process that can be automated and conducted regularly to drive pipeline.
Overall, finding company profiles by domain is one of the most efficient ways to identify and vet new prospects using limited initial data.
