How to use the Domain Name Finder
PhantomBuster’s Domain Name Finder Automation uses public search engines to find a company’s main website domain. This short tutorial walks you through setting inputs, processing options, scheduling, and retrieving results.
Matching limitations:
Returns one main domain (best match) per company. Country & Language settings guide search context but cannot strictly restrict results to specific TLDs (e.g., .fr).
Input requirements:
Google Sheets must be public (anyone with the link); CSV URL input is available on paid plans only. No session cookies are required.
Performance & Safety:
Processes ~14 domains per minute using 1 slot. Search engines may temporarily block shared IPs if requests are too frequent; if stopped, wait ~15 minutes or use a proxy.
Free plan limits:
CSV exports include only the first 10 rows. JSON exports, dynamic CSV download links, and CSV uploads as inputs are unavailable.
Provide the company names:
Choose an input source (My Lists, manual names, a Google Sheet/CSV URL, or My Phantoms), then optionally set Country & Language to guide the search context.
For spreadsheet/CSV inputs, the Phantom reads column A by default. To target a different column, specify its header name in the input settings.
Configure processing settings:
Add any domains to ignore, set how many companies to process per launch for spreadsheet/CSV inputs, and optionally rename the results file.
"Number of companies to process per launch" applies only to spreadsheet/CSV inputs (default 100). Renaming the results file between launches will create a new file and restart processing from scratch.
Select launch frequency:
Run manually, schedule a one-time run, launch repeatedly, trigger it after another Phantom, or use Advanced scheduling for precise timing.
Optional: Adjust advanced settings:
Keep defaults unless you need to fine-tune execution limits, retries, notifications, proxies, webhooks, or file management.
Launch and retrieve results:
Click Launch, then open the Results tab to view found domains and download or export your results.
