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 (this node also allows you to customize the AI Lead Scoring prompt).

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.

The last two modules 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.

AI Scoring and Storage

This section scores the company and stores it in a Google Sheet.

It's important to properly fill in the "Set variables" node at the beginning of the workflow to get a result relevant to your use case. You can also manually modify the system prompt.

Regardless of the score obtained, it's very important to always store the company. Note that we add a 2-second "wait" module to respect Google Sheet's rate limits.

We add the company to the "Companies" sheet in this Google Sheet which you can make a copy of and use.

This AI scoring functionality is extremely impressive once perfectly configured, so I recommend taking some time to test with several companies to ensure the scoring system works well for your needs!

Introduction

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

This automation is an alternative version of this template that differs by using Google Sheets instead of Airtable and adding a Lead Scoring system allowing for more precision in our targeting.

This automation therefore allows you, starting from a LinkedIn search, to enrich company data and score them to determine if they might be interested in your services/product.

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