Search Leads: how it measures up

ICP query → matching lead in the result set. Higher is better.

Hit rates depend on input geography (US/EU vs APAC), B2B vs B2C context, and input quality. Numbers above are typical mid-funnel results for B2B sales teams running Search Leads on enriched lead lists.

For your stack06 / 06

Use Search Leads via the API and the MCP

Search Leads 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 PLUS plan up.

"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."

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

"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."

Reviewed on Capterra

Finding the LinkedIn profile URL behind a name is the entry point for every modern B2B outbound : without it, none of the downstream enrichment (email, mobile, tech stack, intent signals) works. Most teams resolve this by hand or via Sales Navigator search - slow at scale, and the LinkedIn URL never lands cleanly in their CRM.

Derrick's Search Leads reads first-name + last-name + company columns directly from Google Sheets and returns the matched LinkedIn profile URL in the next cell. Match rate on standard B2B contacts is competitive with premium databases (see the accuracy chart above for the measured figure) - the miss is usually prospects with very common names where multiple candidates compete. Per-plan cost on the Derrick pricing page.

Any questions?

Stop copying data around. Start enriching.

Do I need to install anything to use Search Leads?

+

Just the Derrick Google Sheets add-on (one click, no API keys, no developer setup). Once installed, Search Leads 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 Leads on a list of 1,000+ rows?

+

Yes - Search Leads 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 Leads 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 Search Leads. 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 Leads 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 Leads 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 Leads into column B. Pair with Zapier / Make / n8n to push CRM contacts directly into the sheet for hands-free enrichment.
