How to fill in company details with Akta

To fill in missing company details with Akta, you give Akta each company's website and ask for the sections of its company profile you want, and it returns the details it holds for that company. Akta, at akta.pro, describes itself as private company intelligence. Its company enrichment covers more than a dozen sections. The ones most useful for qualifying an account are these:

• Firmographic. The company's name, description, founding year, legal structure, headcount range, and operating status.
• Industry. The vertical the company works in.
• Location. Where the company is based.
• Financial estimate. An estimated revenue range and valuation.
• Technology. The tools in the company's tech stack.
• Business model. Whether the company sells self-serve or through sales, how it earns revenue, and how it prices.
• Customer profile. The segments the company sells to and the use cases it serves.

Akta also has a company search that turns a name or website into the company it matches, plus separate lookups for news, employee reviews, and product reviews.

The lookup itself is the easy part. The work is in everything around it. Your list probably mixes company names, bare domains, and contact email addresses, and Akta needs a website to identify a company reliably. Two companies can share a name. An email from gmail.com tells you nothing about the person's employer. Once the details come back, someone still has to match each answer to the right row, put the headcount into whatever size bands your CRM uses, and decide whether the company is worth pursuing at all.

A good result is a list where every account carries the details sales needs to qualify it, attached to the right record, with the source noted and the gaps marked honestly. Kite does that whole job for you, from working out which company each row refers to through writing the finished details into your records.

Start by telling Kite which companies need details and where the finished data should go:

"Fill in industry, employee count, location, and revenue for the companies in this sheet, and flag the ones that fit our ideal customer profile."

Kite is an AI marketer. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. You can work with Kite in your browser or in Slack. By the time you ask, Kite already knows your ideal customer profile from its research on your business, so it knows which details actually decide whether an account qualifies. If your profile leaves something open, such as whether a 20-person company is too small, Kite asks before it starts.

You don't need an Akta account, because Kite has its own Akta connection built in. Share your list in the conversation, or point Kite at a Google Sheet or the company records in your CRM. To have Kite write the details into HubSpot or Salesforce, connect that account through OAuth so Kite can read and update your records.

Filling in records is routine work, so Kite writes the details and then tells you what it changed. If you'd like to see the results before anything reaches your CRM, say so in your request.

Kite starts by turning every row into a company website, because a website is the most reliable way to identify a company in Akta. When a row already has a domain, Kite uses it. When it has a contact's work email, Kite takes the domain after the @ sign. When it has only a company name, Kite uses Akta's company search to find the match, and it checks the result against any other clues in the row, such as a city or a contact's job title, before accepting it.

Some rows can't be resolved this way. An address at gmail.com, outlook.com, or another personal email service doesn't point to an employer, so Kite looks for the company elsewhere in the row or in the contact's public professional profile. When a name matches more than one company and nothing in the row settles it, Kite lists the candidates for you to choose from rather than picking one.

Kite asks Akta only for the sections that help your team qualify the account, because a qualifying list needs a handful of reliable facts rather than a full company report. For most lists, that means the firmographic, industry, location, and financial estimate sections. When your profile depends on something more specific, Kite adds the section that answers it. A profile built around companies that use HubSpot calls for the technology section, and one built around sales-led companies calls for the business model section.

Some of Akta's sections, such as its company assessment of strengths, risks, and market position, are Akta's own AI-written analysis rather than recorded facts. Kite keeps those separate from the firmographic data and labels them as Akta's assessment whenever it uses them, so nobody mistakes an opinion for a figure.

Kite checks the details that drive qualification before it writes them, because a wrong headcount can put a company in the wrong tier. When Akta's headcount range or industry disagrees with what the company says on its own website, or with Kite's other built-in sources such as Apollo and Crustdata, Kite notes the disagreement and gives the range the sources support.

When Akta has no record of a company, Kite marks it as not found and leaves the fields empty. It doesn't fill the gap with a guess. Those companies are often very young or very small, and Kite can research them from their own websites when you ask.

Once each company has its details, Kite scores its fit against your ideal customer profile from one to five, with a one-line reason. A reason reads like this: "Sales-led software company with 51 to 200 employees, based in the US, in the industry you sell to most." Kite also flags existing customers and competitors so they don't end up in an outbound list by accident.

Kite writes each detail into the field your team already uses, so the data is ready to sort and filter as soon as it lands. Before writing to a CRM, it reads your company properties, including the custom ones, and matches each Akta detail to the right one. It converts Akta's headcount range into your CRM's employee bands when your team uses them. When a field already holds a value, Kite leaves it in place and reports where Akta disagrees, unless you ask it to overwrite.

In HubSpot, Kite finds each company record by its domain and fills in properties such as industry, number of employees, annual revenue, city, and country. In Salesforce, it updates the matching account's industry, employee count, and annual revenue. In a Google Sheet, it fills in the empty columns and adds new ones for the fit score, its reason, and the source.

When the work is done, Kite posts a summary in the conversation where you asked. It says how many companies it filled in, how many it couldn't find, and which rows it couldn't match to a company, along with how many accounts scored as a strong fit. The full list comes with it as a table, so you can scan it without opening your CRM.

From there, Kite can find the right people at your best-fit accounts and add them as contacts. If new companies keep arriving, through a form on your site or a weekly import, ask Kite to fill in their details on a schedule, and it will post each batch's summary in the same place.

When Kite finishes, every company on your list has the details your team needs to decide whether to pursue it, in the place your team already works.
