Facebook and X URLs on Company Records

Company records now include Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) URLs in the socials array when available. These join the existing LinkedIn URL coverage and give a more complete picture of a company’s public social footprint.

​
Company Name Display Field

The company name struct now exposes three forms of the company name:
  • name.cleaned — Display-ready normalized form (e.g., "foodpop", "datalegion", "at&t"). Lowercased and standardized.
  • name.display — Best-quality name with original casing preserved (e.g., "FoodPop", "DataLegion", "AT&T"). Use this when rendering company names in UIs.
  • name.raw — All raw forms observed across sources.

Bug Fixes

​
Major Company Data Completeness Recovery

Many fields on company records — including type, size, description, website_domain, industry, founded, and headline — are now populated on companies where they were previously missing. The improvement comes from a smarter approach to merging records about the same company across multiple sources: each field is now individually selected from the best available source rather than picking a single source row to populate everything. The biggest gains are in:
  • type (private/public/educational/non-profit/etc.) — populated on tens of millions more companies
  • size (employee band) — populated on tens of millions more companies
  • description, website_domain, industry, founded, and headline also see significant coverage gains
If you’ve previously written queries that filtered out companies missing these fields, expect those filters to return substantially more results. The recovered fields are stable going forward.

​
Cleaner Company Lists

Roughly 2,000 non-employer entries that were previously appearing in company gold (entries like self employed, freelance, retired, unemployed, and similar) have been filtered out. These were polluting employer rankings and inflating workforce counts at “companies” that aren’t real employers. Person records that previously linked to these entries now show no current employer rather than a junk one.

​
Better International Name Handling

  • Multi-character mappings like ß → ss and æ → ae (German, Nordic, and French ligatures) are now correct.
  • Person names, email pattern inference, and company name normalization all use the same transliteration logic, so a person and their employer match consistently regardless of accent characters.

​
Improved US Phone Detection

  • Records with US phone numbers but unidentifiable city/state are now correctly included in US delivery. Previously these were sometimes excluded.

​
Address Validation

  • USPS CASS and NCOA processing continue rolling out across the dataset. More addresses validated to delivery point with ZIP+4, more forwarding moves applied. Coverage will keep expanding in upcoming builds.
