"This app saved me so much time and effort. Great for anyone looking to build a contact list or network at scale quickly. As a start-up it's been invaluable."
Alex Clark
Director | SaaS GTM Leader
"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."
David Sire
Mortgage Broker at Zero Point Mortgage
"Derrick is a very simple and user-friendly app to enrich your contacts database. Best thing: you can test it for free. And then the price is so low, it's a no brainer."

Dan Hughes

"I have been using other expensive apps or freemium like phantombuster, but Derrick has replaced them all. I love the simplicity of the Google sheet add-in, but what is best is the efficiency it delivers."
Julien Walon Cohen
CEO & Co-founder @ Diffly | B2B Sales Advisor
"The LinkedIn scraping and email finder combo is incredibly powerful. I can build a complete prospect list with contact info in under an hour. Absolute must-have for outbound."
Michael Kim
SDR Team Lead at CloudScale
"Have tested over 10+ LI scraper apps, Derrick beats them all. Simple to use, accurate data, and affordable price."
AJ Alexander
Opportunity Prospector
Resolving a company name to its LinkedIn URL is the company-side equivalent of the lead-URL lookup : without it, none of the downstream LinkedIn-based enrichment (employee count, recent posts, funding signals) works. Most teams do this manually - Google the company name, click the LinkedIn result, copy the URL - or pay Clearbit ($200+/seat/month) for the same workflow.
Derrick reads a column of company names directly from Google Sheets and returns the matched LinkedIn company URL in the next cell. Match rate sits around 91 % on standard B2B companies - the 9 % miss is usually small businesses without a maintained LinkedIn page. Cost ~$0.007 per match on the Pro plan, free up to 100 lookups/month, no card. The bulk use case that drives adoption : turning a CSV of company names (event attendee list, conference roster, customer churn export) into a queryable enrichment-ready list. Higher volumes on the Derrick pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything to use Search Companies?
Just the Derrick Google Sheets add-on (one click, no API keys, no developer setup). Once installed, Search 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 Search Companies on a list of 1,000+ rows?
Yes - Search 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 Search Companies come from?
Derrick aggregates 10+ public-data sources (LinkedIn graph, company websites, registry data, web crawl, third-party providers) and runs them in a waterfall for Search 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 Search 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 Search 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 Search Companies into column B. Pair with Zapier / Make / n8n to push CRM contacts directly into the sheet for hands-free enrichment.
