Use Find Similar Companies via the API

Find Similar Companies isn't tied to the Google Sheets sidebar. Every Derrick enrichment - this one included - is also exposed through the REST API and the MCP server, so you can run it from your CRM, your data pipeline, an AI assistant, or any no-code tool (Zapier, Make, n8n). Same credit cost as the add-on, same data. API access is included from the Standard plan up.

"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."

Look-alike company search is the fastest way to scale an account list : instead of building filters from scratch, you start from a company that already converted and ask for more like it. Derrick reads a LinkedIn company URL (or ID) directly from a Google Sheet and writes back the closest matching companies - industry, country, city, website, LinkedIn URL and a similarity score - into a new tab, with an optional country filter, and no Sales Navigator needed.

From there it's one step to a working pipeline : enrich the companies, pull their staff, or feed them into outbound. Free plan to start, then 1 credit per matched company. See the full plan grid on the Derrick pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything to use Find Similar Companies?

Just the Derrick Google Sheets add-on (one click, no API keys, no developer setup). Once installed, Find Similar Companies is one of the workflows available from the Derrick sidebar inside any Sheet. The same feature is also available via REST API and via the Derrick MCP server for Claude / ChatGPT.

Can I use Find Similar Companies on a list of 1,000+ rows?

Yes - Find Similar Companies runs as a batch job inside Google Sheets, with progress tracking and per-row credit accounting. The workflow scales linearly: 10 rows or 10,000 rows, the steps are identical and you can step away while it runs.

Where does the data behind Find Similar Companies come from?

Derrick aggregates 10+ public-data sources (LinkedIn graph, company websites, registry data, web crawl, third-party providers) and runs a multi-source lookup for Find Similar Companies. The first source that returns a confident match wins; if no source is confident enough, the cell is left blank rather than guessed.

Is Find Similar Companies GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Derrick only enriches public data, doesn't store personal records beyond the duration of the lookup, and supports full deletion on request. The Sheets add-on runs inside Google's OAuth-protected environment so your data stays private to your account.

Can I trigger Find Similar Companies automatically when I add a row?

Yes - set up a Google Sheets onEdit trigger (Apps Script, takes 2 minutes) so a new row in column A automatically runs Find Similar Companies into column B. Pair with Zapier / Make / n8n to push CRM contacts directly into the sheet for hands-free enrichment.
