In this article, I will take you through the various techniques to make a LinkedIn Company Search. These techniques range from straightforward to advanced, depending on what your needs are.
Easy Mode: Find companies on LinkedIn with a name or a web domain
The most straightforward Company Searches are to find a LinkedIn company profile from a company name. All you need is a name or the company's web domain.
With a name, you can use LinkedIn's search. With a domain, you will need a Google search.
1. Use LinkedIn search to find a company from its name
- Go to www.linkedin.com
- In the search bar at the top, enter the company name and press Enter. For example: "nubela." After that, you will land on the search results page.
- Click on the Companies button. This will show you the search results of companies only.
- Done. The chances are that the company profile you are seeking is on the search result page now.
2. Use Google search to find a company from either name or website
- Go to www.google.com
- Search using this search term
linkedin.com/company/ <company_name OR company_domain> - Done. The chances are that the profile you are seeking is on the search result pane now.
Advanced Mode: Find a list of companies matching industries, keywords, funding and more.
It is trivial to perform a LinkedIn Company Search for a specific company. The harder task is to get a list of companies matching a list of constraints.
How do you find a list of companies?
- From an industry?
- That match specific keywords?
- That meet a funding constraint?
- Behind a particular app?
- That use a particular technology?
- That pay for specific services?
First, you need the data, and Proxycurl's LinkDB has the following data for all 17+M companies that we have in our LinkDB Company Profile Database:
- Funding data
- Published mobile apps
- Web traffic
- Web tech
- And More
However, these data is not easily accessible today, not by choice. But because working with "big data" is hard. If you need to match a list of companies that match the constraints listed above, please send us an email.
