The Scenario
You scraped a conference attendee list and ended up with 180 company names in an Excel workbook. No domains, no emails, no employee counts. Just names — and some of them are subsidiaries, event sponsors, or names that could belong to three different companies.
Before you can enrich contacts, you need verified domains. Before you can segment by size, you need domains. Before you can do anything useful with this list, you need domains.
The bad version:
- Google the first company name, find what looks like their official site, copy the domain, paste it into the workbook, move on.
- Row 14: the company name is "Atlas Health." There are four companies named Atlas Health. You click through three websites before finding the right one.
- Row 35: the company name has a typo from the scrape. "Confluense" returns nothing useful. You skip it and add it to a manual review list that you know you will never actually review.
Resolving company names to domains is exactly the kind of problem a verification tool should handle. Doing it by hand at scale is not analysis — it is archaeology.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your company name list and uses RocketReach company search to return verified domains and firmographic metadata. Open the SheetXAI sidebar:
Here is the prompt for this task:
Resolve all 180 company names in my 'Name List' sheet to verified domains using RocketReach company search — write domain to column B and headquarters country to column C
What You Get
- Column B: the verified primary domain from RocketReach for each company name.
- Column C: the headquarters country from the RocketReach company profile.
- Rows where RocketReach returned multiple possible matches or no match are flagged so you know which ones need a manual disambiguation pass.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The company names have inconsistent punctuation or legal suffixes
Before searching RocketReach, clean each company name in column A — strip trailing periods, commas, or legal suffixes like Inc., LLC, Corp., and Ltd. — then run the company search and write the verified domain to column B and headquarters country to column C
You want employee count in addition to domain
For each company name in column A, search RocketReach and write the verified domain to column B, headquarters country to column C, and employee count to column D
Some names are too generic to resolve cleanly
For each company in column A, search RocketReach — if the search returns more than one possible match with distinct domains, write all candidate domains to column B separated by a pipe character and flag column D as "Ambiguous" — if only one match is found, write that domain to column B and leave column D blank
Resolve names, deduplicate, and remove domains already in your CRM in one shot
For each company name in column A, search RocketReach and write the verified domain to column B — then check each domain against my 'Existing Accounts' worksheet and write "Existing" to column C if the domain is already there, or "New" if it is not — skip any row where the domain in column B is blank
One prompt resolves the names, verifies the domains, and cross-references your existing account base before you start any contact enrichment.
