Company Enrichment

You have a list of companies — names, domains, or a messy mix of both — and you need the full picture on each one: where it lives on the web, what it looks like, where it is social, whether its VAT id is real, and whether its email can be spoofed. Doing that means five separate lookups per company, each in a different tool. This is the one combo that does all five in a single run.

Give it company names or domains and each one comes back as a full org-level profile: website, logo and brand assets, social profiles, EU VAT (validated against VIES), and an email-security grade. A name is resolved to its domain first; a domain is enriched directly. It fetches each homepage once and reads every dimension off it, so five à-la-carte lookups become one run.

This is the front door over the five company-identity primitives — the combo meal over the ingredients. Its edge over the US-centric incumbents is deliberate: EU-first, VAT-validated, and GDPR-clean by construction. Every field is about the organisation, never a person — no personal names, no personal emails, LinkedIn company pages only and never a /in/ profile, and the VIES trader name and address are validated against and thrown away. Only valid is kept.

Quick start (30 seconds)

1. Paste your companies into companies, one per line — names, domains, or a mix (Adyen, personio.com, Back Market).
2. If they are all from one country, put its two-letter code in country (e.g. DE, FR, BE) — it makes European companies resolve and VAT-validate far more reliably.
3. Leave all four dimensions on for the full profile, or toggle off the ones you do not need (logo, socials, vat, emailSecurity) to keep the rows lean.
4. Click Start. Each company comes back as one enriched row.

Filter your results to status = confirmed or given-domain for the rows you can trust blindly, and eyeball the ambiguous and unconfirmed ones.

What you can build with it

• Enrich a lead or CRM list in one pass. You exported 500 company names or domains from a conference app, Sales Navigator or a CRM export. Run them through once and get website, logo, socials, VAT and email-security back in a single dataset — no stitching five tools together.
• Build EU-first firmographics. Set the country and the national TLDs (colruyt.be, doctolib.fr) resolve and their VAT ids validate where a US-centric tool guesses .com and skips VAT entirely.
• Verify EU businesses before you deal with them. The vat field is checked against the official VIES register — a valid: true is a real, live EU VAT id, not a string that merely looks like one.
• Pre-flight email deliverability and spoofing risk. The emailSecurity grade tells you at a glance whether a domain has SPF, DMARC and DKIM in order before you send to it — or whether it can be impersonated.
• Wire it into an automation. A Make/Zapier/n8n step, or an AI agent, that turns each new company name or domain into a full profile the moment it lands.

What you get

Each company is one row:

Field notes, so you know exactly how much to trust each row:

• query is the name or domain you gave, echoed back so you can join the row onto your list.
• companyName is the name when you gave a name; null when you gave a domain, because there was no name to resolve.
• domain, website and confidence are the resolved company. confidence is 0 to 1, and 1 whenever you gave a domain directly — nothing to guess.
• status is confirmed, unconfirmed, ambiguous, no-match, or given-domain (you supplied the domain, so it was enriched as-is). A name that does not resolve comes back no-match with a null domain — and a no-match is free. alternativeDomains carries the other candidates on an ambiguous or unconfirmed row.
• logo is the brand assets read off the homepage: favicon, apple-touch icon, og:image and theme colour.
• socials is the company's own profiles only — LinkedIn company page, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub. Never a personal profile, by construction.
• vat is { number, valid } and nothing else. The EU VAT id is found on the legal/imprint page and validated against VIES; the trader name and address VIES returns are discarded — only the number and its validity are kept.
• emailSecurity grades the domain's email defences (SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MX provider, BIMI, MTA-STS) on an A–F scale in grade.

Each dimension is null when you turned its toggle off, or when nothing was found. A no-match row carries the resolution fields and null for all four dimensions.

How it enriches a company

For a name, it resolves the domain first — building likely domains from the name and a country-aware set of TLDs, keeping the ones that resolve in DNS, and confirming each against the company's own homepage. For a domain, it skips straight to enrichment. Then it fetches the homepage once and reads the logo, socials and VAT-imprint off that single page, runs a handful of DNS queries for the email-security grade, and makes one VIES call to validate the VAT id. That is the whole point of the combo: five separate runs collapse into one fetch per company.

Well-known companies and any company you supply by domain enrich very reliably. Ambiguous or generic names are where the confidence and status fields earn their keep — read them rather than trusting the top row blindly.

What does enriching a company cost?

$0.04 per enriched company — one flat charge per company that resolved to a domain (given or found), whatever dimensions it filled. A company that comes back no-match is free: you pay only for real profiles, never for the misses. A run that resolves nothing costs the $0.00005 actor start and nothing else.

• A 500-company list, ~85% resolving ≈ $17, once (425 enriched × $0.04).
• Turning a dimension off does not change the price — it is one charge per company, not per field.

The price is all-inclusive: platform usage, the homepage fetch, the DNS queries and the VIES validation are all covered, there is no separate compute bill, and failed runs are free. The Apify free plan returns a 5-item sample per run, enough to see the full output shape against your own list before scaling up.

Not technical? Let your AI assistant set it up

Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude or any AI assistant, fill in the one line, and follow the conversation:

Help me set up the "Company Enrichment" actor on Apify
(https://apify.com/lowlanddata/company-enrichment). Guide me one step at a time.

What I have: [E.G. "a spreadsheet of 200 German company names and domains I want
enriched with website, logo, socials, VAT and email-security"]

Guide me to:
1. Create a free Apify account (apify.com), open the actor page, and paste my
   company names or domains into the companies field, one per line.
2. Set the country code if my list is all from one country (e.g. DE for Germany),
   so European companies resolve and VAT-validate more reliably.
3. Turn off any dimensions I don't need (logo, socials, vat, emailSecurity), then
   start a run and export the results as CSV or Excel, or read them from the API
   if I write code.
4. Explain the columns — domain, confidence, status, vat, emailSecurity grade —
   so I know which rows I can trust and which to double-check.
5. If it works, remind me to leave a quick rating on the actor page and to report
   anything wrong on its Issues tab.

Input

Field	Description
companies	The company names or domains to enrich, one per line. A name is resolved to its domain first; a domain (e.g. adyen.com) is enriched directly. Required.
country	Optional ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. DE, FR, BE, US) applied to every entry. Biases the domain guesses and the expected VAT format toward that country.
logo	Include the favicon, apple-touch icon, og:image and theme colour. Boolean, default true.
socials	Include the company's LinkedIn (company page only), X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and GitHub links. Boolean, default true.
vat	Find the EU VAT number on the legal/imprint page and validate it against VIES. Boolean, default true.
emailSecurity	Grade the domain's email defences (SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MX provider) A–F. Boolean, default true.
maxItems	Stop after this many companies. Default 1000; free-plan runs are capped at 5.

Use it from your code

Run it synchronously and read the enriched rows straight back:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/lowlanddata~company-enrichment/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"companies": ["Adyen", "personio.com", "Back Market"], "country": "DE"}'

Larger lists run better asynchronously: start the run, let the finished-run webhook fire, then fetch the dataset. Schedules, webhooks and the Make/Zapier/n8n integrations all apply. This is a standard Apify actor.

Use it with AI agents (MCP)

Through Apify's hosted MCP server, Claude, Cursor and other MCP-capable agents can call this as a tool: the agent hands over the companies and reads the enriched profiles back, no glue code involved.

Claude Code:

$claude mcp add apify --transport http "https://mcp.apify.com?actors=lowlanddata/company-enrichment"

Cursor or Claude Desktop (add a custom connector / MCP server with this URL):

https://mcp.apify.com?actors=lowlanddata/company-enrichment

Prefer the à-la-carte primitives? Point one connector at all five company tools instead of the combo:

https://mcp.apify.com?actors=lowlanddata/company-domain-finder,lowlanddata/company-logo-finder,lowlanddata/company-socials-finder,lowlanddata/company-vat-finder,lowlanddata/company-email-security

Runs bill to the Apify account you sign in with. Per-client setup: Apify MCP docs.

Prompts that work once connected:

• "Enrich these 40 companies — I've got a mix of names and domains — with website, socials, VAT and email-security, and flag any that didn't resolve."
• "Enrich adyen.com and personio.com, but only the VAT id and the email-security grade."

Is it legal to enrich a company?

Everything it returns is public commercial information about a business: its domain and homepage, the brand assets and social links published on that homepage, its VAT id from the official VIES register, and the public DNS records that carry its email policy. Nothing gated, nothing personal, nothing bypassed — a handful of ordinary requests per company, no login, no CAPTCHA.

No personal data enters the output, by construction rather than by setting: there are no name, email or phone fields to fill, LinkedIn is captured as the company page and never a /in/ personal profile, and the trader name and address VIES returns are validated against and discarded. That is what makes the output safe to store and share, and it is a permanent property of the tool.

Is there a company enrichment API?

This is one. Send a list of names or domains to run-sync-get-dataset-items and read the full profiles straight back as JSON, or run it on a schedule, or drive it as an MCP tool. One request replaces the five separate calls — domain, logo, socials, VAT, email-security — you would otherwise wire together yourself, pay-per-company, no contract.

How accurate is it?

Companies you supply by domain enrich exactly as given; well-known names resolve very reliably. Rather than paper over the ambiguous cases with a single "98% accurate" number, every row carries its own confidence and status: a confirmed or given-domain row is one you can trust blindly, and an uncertain one says so and hands you the alternatives. The VAT id is not "probably right" — it is checked against VIES and marked valid or not. You decide the bar instead of trusting one average that hides the misses.

How do I enrich a whole list of companies?

Paste the whole list into companies (names, domains or both), set the country if they share one, leave the dimensions you want switched on, and run it once. Export the dataset as CSV/Excel, or read it from the API, then join it back onto your list on query. For a recurring feed — new form fills, new CRM rows — put it on a Schedule with a Make/Zapier/n8n or webhook step so each new company is enriched as it arrives.

FAQ

Can I give it domains, names, or both? All three. A domain is enriched directly (status: given-domain, confidence: 1); a name is resolved to its domain first, then enriched. Mix them freely in one list.

Do I pay for a company that didn't resolve? No. A name that comes back no-match is free — you pay $0.04 only for companies that resolved to a domain.

Does it return emails, phone numbers or contact people? No, and not via any setting. Every field is organisation-level. Personal data is never collected — that is what makes the output safe to store and share.

What exactly is kept from VIES? Only the VAT number and whether it is valid. The trader name and address VIES also returns are discarded and never written to the dataset.

Can I run just one dimension? Yes. Turn off the toggles you do not want; the row carries only what you asked for and the rest come back null. The price is the same either way — one charge per enriched company.

Can I export the results to Excel? Yes: any dataset exports as Excel, CSV, JSON or XML from the Apify Console or API.

Why did I only get 5 results? The Apify free plan caps this actor at a 5-item sample. Any paid plan lifts the cap to your maxItems.

Can ChatGPT or Claude use it? Yes: connect it through Apify's MCP server (section above) and an agent can hand over the companies and read the profiles back in one conversation.

The company-identity family

This is the combo — the one run that returns the full org-level profile. Under it sit five small, composable, GDPR-clean primitives, each doing one job. Reach for them à la carte when you want a single layer rather than the whole profile:

• Company Domain Finder — a company name to its website domain, with a confidence score.
• Company Logo & Favicon Finder — a domain's favicon, logo and social image.
• Company Socials Finder — a domain's LinkedIn, X, Instagram and more.
• EU Company VAT Finder — the official EU VAT id behind a domain, VIES-validated.
• Company Email Security Checker — a domain's SPF, DMARC, DKIM and email-spoofing grade.

Troubleshooting

Failures are loud and named in the run's status message:

• "Provide at least one company." companies was empty; add at least one name or domain.
• "country must be an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code..." Use the two-letter code (DE, not Germany).
• A row came back no-match you expected to resolve. Check the spelling and set the country; the alternativeDomains field often holds the domain it saw but could not confirm. Supplying the domain directly enriches it as-is.
• A dimension is null on a resolved row. Either its toggle was off, or nothing was found — an emailSecurity grade always fills for a resolved domain, but a company may simply have no VAT id on its site or no social links.
• 5 results instead of your maxItems: the free-plan sample cap; a paid Apify plan removes it.
