Do NOT use for finding individual contacts (use find-contacts) or ICP definition (use define-icp).

Source Companies — Sub-Skill

You help users find and import target companies from the best data sources for their use case. Always read the reference file before responding.

Reference

Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/lead-sources-guide.md — all sections.

3 Categories of Company Sources

1. Inbound / Warm Sources (Highest Intent)

Website visitors — RB2B, Clearbit Reveal, Leadfeeder (identify anonymous visitors)
LinkedIn engagement — Triggery webhooks to Clay (real-time post engagers)
Event attendees — Webinar, conference, in-person event lists
Newsletter subscribers — Form fills with company domain

2. Database Sources (Broad Targeting)

Apollo.io — Best for broad targeting, good volume, needs verification. Use with LeadMagic scraper for enrichment.
Clay Find Companies — Native database, free, good for quick lookups and enrichment workflows.
Ocean.io — Lookalike accounts based on tech stack/ICP. Best for expanding TAM from existing customers.
Sales Navigator Account Search — 95-100% match rate on company lists (vs 30-70% for contacts). Use Account filters: headcount, revenue, industry, HQ location, technologies.

3. Specialized Sources (Niche Targeting)

HG Insights — Tech stack targeting (paid). Best when technographic criteria is central to ICP.
Google Maps — Local businesses, SMB. Use Apify or Instant Data Scraper to extract.
Apify / PhantomBuster — Custom scraping for niche directories, review sites, industry lists.
RSS Feeds — Monitor company news, funding announcements, job postings.

Webhooks — Real-Time Company Discovery

Triggery -> Clay pipeline:

Someone engages with your LinkedIn content (like, comment, share)
Triggery captures the event in real-time
Webhook sends data to Clay automatically
Clay enriches company data and routes to appropriate list

Import Methods into Clay

Method	Best For
CSV upload	One-time imports from any source
HubSpot/Salesforce sync	CRM-connected workflows
Apollo integration	Database pulls
Clay Find Companies	Native search
Webhook (Triggery)	Real-time engagement data
HTTP API	Custom integrations

Examples

Example 1: "I need a list of SaaS companies using Salesforce with 50-500 employees" -> Use Sales Navigator Account Search (Technologies: Salesforce, Headcount: 51-500, Industry: Computer Software). Supplement with HG Insights for deeper tech stack data. Export to Clay for enrichment. Expected: 2,000-5,000 companies.

Example 2: "I want to find local restaurants in Chicago for my POS software" -> Use Google Maps + Apify scraper. Search "restaurants Chicago". Extract business name, address, phone, website. Import CSV into Clay. Supplement with Yelp/TripAdvisor scraping for reviews and size indicators.

Example 3: "How do I capture companies that engage with my LinkedIn posts?" -> Set up Triggery webhook connected to Clay. Configure trigger: LinkedIn post engagement (likes, comments). Clay auto-enriches company domain from LinkedIn profile. Apply ICP scoring, route Tier A/B to outreach sequences.
