How to build a lookalike company list from 10 of your best customers
You have 10 customers you love. You want 50 more like them. The manual approach (read LinkedIn for hours, write filter rules) doesn't scale. Apollo's lookalike feature locks behind Pro ($99/seat/month). Kavex Lookalike automates: provide samples, Gemini derives an ICP, searches LinkedIn, scores each by similarity.
The 4-step pipeline (one job)
All happens behind one Submit click.
- Scrape your 10 sample companies via LinkedIn Companies
- Send to Gemini → get ICP summary + 5 LinkedIn search hints
- Search LinkedIn for matching companies per hint
- Score each candidate via Gemini (0-100) with reasoning
What you get per look-alike
One row per candidate with full reasoning.
- candidate_name + candidate_url
- candidate_industry + size + HQ + description
- similarity_score (0-100) + 1-sentence reasoning
- icp_summary (same for all rows)
