Searches ZoomInfo's database of 100M+ companies using firmographic filters. Returns a ranked list with basic company data: name, domain, industry, employee count, location, and a ZoomInfo company ID.
Search is typically the first step before enrichment. Use the returned company IDs with Enrich Companies to retrieve full detail.
Credits
Free. No credits consumed.
When the AI uses it
The AI invokes Search Companies when you describe a target account profile rather than a specific company. It may chain Lookup first to resolve filter values, then Search Companies to find matching companies, then Enrich Companies if full detail is needed.
Common filters
- Industry
- Employee count range
- Revenue range
- Location (country, state, metro region)
- Technologies used
- Hiring signals
Example prompts
"Find SaaS companies with 200–1000 employees headquartered in New York."
"What companies in the healthcare industry are using Salesforce?"
"Show me fast-growing fintech companies that are currently hiring sales roles."
