Email to Company & Job Title Finder — B2C to B2B Enrichment

What does Email to Company & Job Title Finder do?

Email to Company turns a list of email addresses into the place each person works now. Paste the gmail, outlook and yahoo addresses from your sign-up list and get back the current employer, job title, start date, full name and LinkedIn profile URL for every address we have on record. It is the B2C to B2B enrichment step: finding the business buyers inside a consumer list.

• Input is a plain list of emails, up to 1,000 per run. Personal mailboxes are the point; business addresses work too.
• Each answer is one narrow row: company, job title, name, profile link, location.
• You pay $3.80 per 1,000 companies found — below every other publisher's pay-per-match reverse email lookup on the Apify Store (they ask $4 to $30 per 1,000 matches; checked on 2026-10-01). A row is charged only when it names a current employer.
• Unmatched addresses, people with no current job, ambiguous matches and invalid entries are free rows, each with a status and a reason.
• Answers come from our own database of business-contact records. No cookies, no login, no browser.
• Run it from the Apify Console, on a schedule, through the API, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

What data do you get from an email address?

Field	Example	When it is filled
company	Northwind Logistics	every charged row
jobTitle	Head of Operations	nearly every charged row
positionStartDate	2023-04-01	when the profile dates the position
companyLinkedinUrl	https://www.linkedin.com/company/northwind-logistics	when the employer has a company page on record
otherCurrentCompanies	["Riverside Food Bank"]	when the person holds more than one current position
seniority	director	where available
fullName	Dana Whitfield	every matched row
linkedinUrl	https://www.linkedin.com/in/dana-whitfield-example	every matched row
location, country	Austin, Texas, United States, US	most matched rows
industry	Transportation, Logistics, Supply Chain and Storage	most matched rows; it is the industry on the person's profile
emailType	personal or business	every row with a usable address
matchedEmail	danawhitfield@gmail.com	only when a second spelling of a Gmail address is the one on record
_status	found	every row
_freshness	fresh_90d, updated_1y, older, unknown	every found row

emailType is personal when the address sits on a consumer mailbox provider (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud and similar) and business for everything else. business means "not a consumer mailbox". It does not mean the address belongs to the current employer: someone matched by an old work address comes back with the company they work at now.

The row does not carry the employer's website, headcount or funding. Pass the company to Domain to Company or Company Database Search for those.

How to convert emails to companies (3 steps)

1. Paste your email addresses into Email addresses, one per line.
2. Click Start.
3. Export the dataset as CSV, Excel or JSON, or read it through the API. Filter on _status = found to keep the rows that name an employer.

How much does it cost to find a company from an email?

Event	Price	When it is charged
company-found	$0.0038 per row ($3.80 per 1,000)	the address matched one person and that person has a current position at a named employer

Everything else is free of result charges:

_status	Meaning
not_found	no person on record for this address
no_current_employer	the person was matched, but the profile shows no current position at a named employer. The row names nobody
ambiguous	the address is on record for more than one profile, so the employer cannot be attributed to one person. The row says how many profiles share the address and names none of them
profile_removed	the profile on record for this address no longer exists
invalid	the entry is not an email address
role_address	a shared mailbox such as info@ or sales@: it belongs to a function, not a person, and is not looked up
error	the lookup could not be completed for this entry; run it again

Placeholders such as "Self-employed" or "Freelance" do not count as a named employer. The platform's small Actor start fee applies to every run.

On a list where 3 in 10 addresses return a company, 1,000 emails cost about $1.20.

Input

{
  "emails": [
    "dana.whitfield@gmail.com",
    "Sam Okafor <sam.okafor@outlook.com>",
    "mailto:lee@northwind-logistics.example"
  ]
}

The Actor cleans what people paste out of a CRM export or a mail client: Name <address>, mailto: links, brackets, capitals and trailing punctuation. A +tag is dropped on providers that treat it as an alias. Gmail addresses that differ only by dots, or by googlemail.com, count as one mailbox, and when the spelling you typed is not on record the Actor tries the second spelling once. Duplicates are looked up once and produce one row.

FAQ

How do I find where someone works from an email address?

Paste the address into the input and start the run. If the address is on record and the person has a current position, the row comes back with the company and job title.

What is the match rate for email to company?

On our test sample of 2026-09-30, about 35% of free-mailbox addresses resolved to a person (56 of 161). Of the people resolved by a personal address, about 86% had a current employer (48 of 56). So roughly 3 in 10 personal addresses return a company. The sample was addresses published by software developers; other audiences can land higher or lower, and you only pay for the rows that return a company.

Am I charged when nothing is found?

No. Only found rows are charged. not_found, no_current_employer, ambiguous, profile_removed, invalid, role_address and error rows carry no result charge.

What happens when one address belongs to several profiles?

The row comes back as ambiguous, free, with the number of profiles that share the address. In our tests every wrong-person answer to an email lookup was one of these shared addresses, so they are shown but never sold.

Which position is reported when a person has several?

The open position that carries the person's own headline title. If none does, the most recently started one. The rest are listed in otherCurrentCompanies.

Can I run email to company in bulk from a CSV?

This Actor takes up to 1,000 addresses per run as a list. Paste the email column from your CSV, or split a longer list across runs. For full-profile enrichment of a CSV with up to 50,000 rows, use Bulk People Enrichment.

Does it need cookies, login or an API key?

No. The Actor never logs in to any website. It reads from our own database of business-contact records.

How fresh is the data?

Each matched row carries _freshness: fresh_90d, updated_1y or older, from the date the profile record was last updated. A position counts as current when the profile shows it with no end date, so a person who changed jobs without updating their profile still shows the old employer. Check _freshness and positionStartDate before you rely on an older row.

What is the difference between Email to Company and Email to LinkedIn?

Email to LinkedIn answers "who is this": it charges for every matched profile. Email to Company answers "where do they work": it charges only when the match names a current employer.

Is it legal to look up an employer by email?

That depends on where you and the people on your list are, and on what you do with the result. You need a lawful basis for processing the addresses you submit and for any outreach that follows. See the disclaimer below; it is not legal advice.

Use Email to Company & Job Title Finder with AI agents and MCP

This Actor works as a tool for AI agents. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other MCP client through the Apify MCP server:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=b2bsearch/email-to-company

• Fast enough for a tool call. A small request finishes in seconds, so the agent gets its answer inside one call.
• The agent pays only for results. Prices are per result (see the pricing section above) and every miss is a free row. Cap what one call may spend with maxTotalChargeUsd.
• Rows explain themselves. Each row has a _status; a row that is not a result says why in _error, so the agent can decide what to do next without guessing.

Input an agent can send as is:

{
  "emails": [
    "satya.nadella@microsoft.com"
  ]
}

The same Actor is available as a tool in LangChain, CrewAI and the OpenAI Agents SDK, and as a step in n8n, Make and Zapier through the Apify integrations.
