Company Employee Count Finder in Google Sheets
A column of company names in, employee counts out, without leaving the spreadsheet. 1 credit per lookup
- Install the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace. It is free; lookups spend LinkFinder credits.
- Paste your API key once, from your LinkFinder account. Free credits on signup, no card.
- Open the side panel (Extensions → LinkFinder AI) and choose Find Company Employee Count.
- Point it at the column of company names and run. The result lands in the next empty column.
Or as a formula
Drag it down the column. The custom function comes from a short Apps Script you paste once; the script and setup are here.
Side panel or formula?
The side panel processes each row once, skips rows that are already filled, and paces itself against the rate limit. That makes it the right choice for hundreds or thousands of rows.
A =LINKFINDER() formula is handy for a few rows, but Google Sheets can recalculate custom functions on its own, which re-spends credits and can hit the script time limit on a large sheet. Use it for a sample, then switch to the panel.
What comes back
A new column with the employee count. Rows where nothing was found stay empty rather than getting a guess, so a filter on the new column gives you the misses to re-run.
Headcount is the cheapest segmentation field there is: one credit per company, and it is enough to route an account list into the right tier before you spend anything on contacts.
Three ways to run the same lookup
The panel and the formula call the same API as the bulk CSV upload and the Company Employee Count Finder API, and cost the same credits. Pick whichever is closest to where your list already lives.
