#  Canonical Company Search

> Use this tool when you need to find specific companies that are hard to discover through traditional search methods. It solves problems in sales prospecting, recruiting, and market research by retrieving verified company matches based on plain English descriptions or structured filters, and returns results keyed by domain for further graph exploration. The tool takes in descriptive queries or filters as input and outputs a list of matching companies with verified profiles.

## Description

Canonical finds the companies others miss — the long tail. Unlike web search that returns links to crawl and rank, it's a verified company graph: describe what you want in plain English (or pass structured filters) and it retrieves from a corpus of millions, verifying each match against products, target customer, and business model with an LLM. Results come back keyed by domain, so an agent can walk the graph — search for companies, find look-alikes, pull a company's profile, disambiguate a name. Built for sales prospecting, recruiting, and market research.
