A list of company names without any other data is just a list of words. No websites, no industries, no employee counts, no LinkedIn pages. Just names.
But here's the good news: you can enrich company data and go from company names to full records in a few minutes. This guide walks you through two simple enrichments that turn a basic company list into a ready-to-use dataset.
📌 Summary For Those In a Rush
This article shows how to enrich company data from company names using two company enrichments in Datablist.
Problem: You have company names but no company data. No websites, no industries, no LinkedIn pages.
Solution: Use Datablist's Website Finder to get company domains, then run the Company Enrichment to get the full company record.

What This Guide Covers
- What enriching company data means and who it's for
- What data you need to get started (just company names)
- Step-by-step: Finding company websites from company names
- Step-by-step: Enriching company data from company domains
- Cost breakdown and FAQ
The Essentials of Enriching Company Data
To enrich company data starting from just company names, you need two enrichments:
- The first one finds the company website from a company name.
- The second one takes a website and returns the full company record.
Both enrichments run directly inside Datablist, both are no-code, and both follow the same simple 6-step process.
💡 What Is Datablist?
Datablist is a platform for automating lead generation workflows that allows sales, marketing, and recruiting folks to find, clean, and enrich data using over 60 different tools from AI Agents to Email Finders, data cleaning tools, and more.
If you need to find, clean, or enrich data for your lead lists, Datablist keeps everything in one platform, so you don't have to juggle 5 different subscriptions.
Who Benefits From Enriching Company Data
Different teams use enriched company data in different ways. Below are the two examples:
Recruiting teams use enriched company data to identify hiring companies by size, industry, and location. If you're sourcing candidates, knowing whether a company has 50 or 5,000 employees changes your entire approach.
Sales teams running cold outreach need company data to segment their lead lists properly. When you enrich company data, you can filter by industry, region, or employee count before you ever send the first cold email. Better targeting, fewer wasted messages.
The Data You Need
To enrich company data, you'd usually need the company's website domain or LinkedIn company page URL. But in this guide, I'll show you how to start from just company names and get to full company records.
If you already have company domains or LinkedIn URLs, you can skip the first enrichment and jump straight to the company data enrichment step.
What Does Datablist's Company Enrichment Return
Once you run the company enrichment, Datablist returns a structured set of data points for each company in your lead list. Here's what you get back:
| Category | Data Points |
|---|---|
| Company Identity | Company Name, LinkedIn URL |
| Company Details | Industry, Founded Year, Employee Count Range (1 to 10,001+) |
| Location | Headquarter City, Region, Country |
| Status | Enrichment Status (success, not found, invalid data) |
If you choose to scrape live LinkedIn data, you’ll also get: The company’s description, their specialities, their slogan, their LinkedIn ID, and the number of followers they have on LinkedIn[1]
- Basic data costs 1 credit per company.
- Live LinkedIn data costs 5 credits per company[2]
For most use cases, we recommend choosing live LinkedIn data because:
- It provides a complete and up-to-date company profile
- The information is pulled directly from LinkedIn, ensuring accuracy
- You get additional data points like company description, specialties, and follower count
Getting Started With Enriching Company Data
The following section shows two different step-by-step workflows:
- The first finds company websites from company names.
- The second takes those websites and returns the full company record.

Both enrichments follow a 6-step process, and if you've used one Datablist enrichment before, the other will feel familiar.

What Does "Enrich Company Data" Actually Mean?
To enrich company data means to take a basic company record (like just a company name) and add missing information to it: industry, employee count, location, LinkedIn URL, and more. It's the process of turning incomplete data into complete, usable records for your lead lists.
Can I Enrich Company Data From Just a Company Name?
Yes, and that's exactly what this guide covers. You use two enrichments: first, to find the company website from the name, then to pull the full company record from that website. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes.
What's the Difference Between Scraping and Enriching Company Data?
Scraping is a sub-task of enriching. Scraping means extracting data from a source (like a website or job board). Enriching means adding new data points to an existing record, which may involve scraping, database lookups, or API calls behind the scenes. When you enrich company data with Datablist, it handles all of that automatically.
Where's the Best Place to Find Fresh Company Data?
For verified company records, a platform like Datablist that combines multiple data sources gives you the best coverage. Datablist's Company Enrichment pulls from verified company databases to return industry, location, employee count, and more. For the most current information, use the LinkedIn data option (5 credits), which scrapes live data directly from the company's LinkedIn page.
What's the Difference Between Company Data Enrichment and a Company Database?
A company database is a static collection of company records that you search through. Company data enrichment is a process that takes your existing list and adds missing data to it.
The key difference: with a database, you search for companies. With enrichment, you start with companies you already have and fill in the gaps. When you enrich company data with Datablist, you keep your original list and simply add new columns of information.
