USE CASE:

Getting company size right for beauty brands

Everything below is about one job: company size for beauty brands, done in a way that survives a list rather than a single lookup. Mamba Labs builds Apify actors, and Website Traffic Rank Estimator is the one named below that covers beauty brands.

The situation

Beauty brands frustrate company size, for a reason specific to them. Start from this: beauty brands sell through influence, so audience size genuinely is part of the product rather than a vanity number, and company size follows. On beauty brands, company size rarely catches this: a large audience can belong to the founder rather than the brand, and the two get counted as one. We keep 1 preconfigured task for company size on beauty brands, across 1 tool.

What is at stake

Headcount is missing or wrong on a third of any list of the beauty brands you buy, and revenue is worse.

Doing it end to end

  1. Start with one of beauty brands you already know, so a wrong company size answer is obvious rather than plausible.
  2. Run Website Traffic Rank Estimator across your list of beauty brands, which carries 1 ready made setup for company size.
  3. Read ten rows of company size on beauty brands by hand before you trust the rest of the list.

Traditional Search Tools

  • The retailer's stockist list, for beauty brands. Free, and being carried by a major retailer outranks any follower count.
  • SimilarWeb or Semrush. Traffic estimates with a real methodology behind them, and a subscription. Accurate enough at the top of the market and increasingly speculative in the tail.
  • LinkedIn headcount. Free and directionally useful. It counts profiles, not employees, so it flatters technology companies and undercounts everyone else.
  • Their own numbers. About pages, annual reports, press releases. Self reported and usually the most accurate thing available.
  • Look at the site. Careers page, customer logos, whether there is a pricing page at all. Two minutes and a person reads this far better than a rank does.
