USE CASES · Find similar companies
Find companies similar to your best clients
Your best clients are the clearest description of who to sell to next. A lookalike search starts from them and looks for companies that resemble them.
How do you find similar companies?
Start from a few companies you already serve well, note what they share (industry, size, market and business model), and search for others with the same traits. In Yolias you name the companies, or attach a CSV of them, and a lookalike search returns similar companies with the reasons they match.
Who it’s for
- Agencies and consultancies with a few great reference clients
- SaaS and software companies expanding within a vertical
- Sales teams turning closed deals into new target accounts
Why “more like this one” is hard
Describing what makes a client great is harder than pointing at it. Filters capture industry and headcount, but miss the business model and the stage that made the client a good fit.
How it works in Yolias
- 01
Name your best clients
Type their names or domains, or attach a CSV or a screenshot of the companies you want more of.
- 02
Yolias finds lookalikes
When a data source that offers lookalike search is connected, Yolias finds companies that resemble them.
- 03
Review the similarities
Each company shows what it has in common with your examples, so you can keep the right ones.
An example
An illustration of a request, not a customer story:
Find 40 companies in Saudi Arabia and the UAE similar to the three clients in the attached CSV (restaurant software companies with 50 to 300 employees), and reach their head of partnerships.
What you get
- Companies similar to the ones you named
- The traits they share with your examples
- Decision makers in the roles you name, where found
- CSV export
Limits to know
- Lookalike search needs a connected data source that offers it. Until one is connected, the search waits and says so.
- Results depend on your market and on the data sources connected to Yolias; a search that needs a source Yolias doesn’t have yet waits and says so.
- Yolias doesn’t guarantee a number of leads, meetings or sales.
Questions
How many example companies should I give?
- Three to ten good examples work well. Examples that share an industry and size give the most focused results.
Can I use my CRM export as examples?
- Yes. Attach a CSV of the accounts you want more of, such as your closed-won customers.
Is a lookalike search available on every plan?
- All plans include the same core features; the plans differ in the number of prospects per month. Lookalike results depend on a connected data source that offers them.
