LinkedIn Company Search

This section initiates the workflow and searches for your target companies on LinkedIn using the Ghost Genius API.

You can filter and refine your search using keywords, company size, location, industry, or even whether the company has active job postings. Use the "Set Variables" node for it.

Note that you can retrieve a maximum of 1000 companies per search (corresponding to 100 LinkedIn pages), so it's important not to exceed this number of results to avoid losing prospects.

Example: Let's say I want to target Growth Marketing Agencies with 11-50 employees. I do my search and see that there are 10,000 results. So I refine my search by using location to go country by country and retrieve all 10,000 results in several batches ranging from 500 to 1000 depending on the country.

Tips: To test the workflow or to see the number of results of your search, change the pagination parameter (Max Pages) in the "Search Companies" node. It will be displayed at the very top of the response JSON.

Company Data Processing

This section processes each company individually.

We retrieve all the company information using Get Company Details by using the LinkedIn link obtained from the previous section.

Then we filter the company based on the number of followers, which gives us a first indication of the company's credibility (200 in this case), and whether their LinkedIn page has a website listed.

The workflow implements batch processing with a 2-second delay between requests to respect API rate limits. This methodical approach ensures reliable data collection while preventing API timeouts.

You can adjust these thresholds based on your target market - increasing the follower count for more established businesses or decreasing it for emerging markets.

CRM Integration

This section handles the Airtable CRM integration.

It first checks if the company already exists in your database (using LinkedIn ID) to prevent duplicates because when you do close enough searches, some companies may come up several times.

If it's a new company, it adds the record to Airtable with comprehensive details including name, LinkedIn URL, website, tagline, description, and category.

The workflow automatically tags companies as 'Growth Marketing Agency 11-50 🌍' and sets the country to '🇺🇸 United States' (customize according to your use case).

Introduction

Welcome to my template! Before explaining how to set it up, here's some important information:

This automation is very easy to implement and is designed for anyone wanting to build and enrich a solid CRM through LinkedIn research.

The initial data source can be changed as long as you have the LinkedIn URL of the company.

For any questions, you can send me a DM on my LinkedIn :)
