🔎 LinkedIn Mass Company Profile Finder

Find LinkedIn company profile URLs in bulk from any list of keywords — domains, brand names, product names, or plain descriptions. Powered by multi-engine search with smart proxy fallback, designed for sales & marketing teams who need verified LinkedIn pages at scale.

---

✨ Why Choose Us?

• 🧠 Multi-engine search — DuckDuckGo + Bing combined for maximum coverage; results auto-merged and deduplicated.
• 🌍 Country-subdomain aware — Captures linkedin.com/company/…, fr.linkedin.com/company/…, uk.linkedin.com/…, etc., and normalizes to the canonical URL.
• 🛡️ Smart proxy fallback — Starts with no proxy (cost-saving), automatically escalates to datacenter then residential (3 retries) if blocked. Once a tier works, it sticks.
• ⚡ Live results — Every URL is pushed to the dataset as it's found so you can watch the run in real time.
• 🧰 Robust — Per-engine retries with exponential backoff, async concurrency, request jitter, and detailed logs.
• 💸 Cost-efficient — Default = no proxy = $0 traffic until needed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it work without a proxy? A: Yes — by default it runs with no proxy to save cost. If a search engine blocks the request, it automatically escalates to datacenter → residential (3 retries).

Q: What does "found by bing+ddgs" mean? A: Both DuckDuckGo and Bing returned the same LinkedIn URL — a strong signal that it is the correct match.

Q: Can I use my own proxy? A: Yes. Configure Apify proxy in the input. The fallback ladder still applies if your chosen tier gets blocked.

Q: Why some keywords return more URLs than others? A: Different brand names match different numbers of LinkedIn pages. Common words return more results; specific domains often return one or two.

Q: Are results live? A: Yes — every LinkedIn URL is pushed to the dataset the moment it's found. You can monitor & export results while the run is still going.

Q: Is this scraping LinkedIn directly? A: No. The actor only reads publicly indexed metadata from search engines. It never logs into LinkedIn, never scrapes LinkedIn HTML, and never touches authenticated content.
