Company lookalikes · Sourcing · Produces companies
Finds companies that resemble a seed domain and feeds them into the workflow. It's a guided version of Company search built around one job — lookalike sourcing — so the seed domain is required up front rather than buried among the filters.
When to use it
Use it to source new accounts that look like a customer you already like — "find more companies like acme.com". If lookalike is your main intent, this is the clearest way to set it up.
What it does
For each run, it searches for companies similar to your seed domain and enrolls the results as company records, each with a match score. You can narrow the results with the same company filters as Company search.
Configure it
Lookalike domain — the seed company to find matches for. Required.
Filters — optional narrowing filters (industry, size, technologies, location, and so on) to tighten the results around the seed.
Companies per run — the maximum number of companies to bring in per run.
Skip companies: tick the kinds of companies to leave out of the results. All six boxes are ticked by default.
Already in CRM: companies that are already accounts in your connected CRM.
Already in leads: companies already in one of your lead lists.
Already exported: companies you already exported from Ocean.
Under From earlier runs of this workflow: Completed, Dropped, and Failed skip companies this workflow enrolled on an earlier run that ended that way. Untick Failed to retry failed companies on the next run. These three boxes only show on a step that starts the workflow.
Companies still in progress in this workflow are always skipped.
If the workflow starts with a Webhook trigger, new steps start with Already in CRM and Completed unticked.
Cost
0.2 credits per result. See Credits in workflows.
Gotchas
The seed domain is required — the step is marked incomplete until you set one.
Prefer to combine lookalike with lots of other filters, or don't want a mandatory seed? Company search offers the same lookalike as one optional filter among many.
