USE CASE:
Company size for professional services companies
This page is about company size for professional services companies: the options you actually have, what each one costs, and which one we would pick. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors named here, so Website Traffic Rank Estimator is something you run yourself against your own list of professional services companies.
The problem
Company size for professional services companies one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. Any company size method has to survive this: professional services companies are people businesses, so the team page is the company. What catches people out on professional services companies, company size included: headcount counts contractors and misses partners, which is exactly backwards for this family. There is 1 runnable example of company size for professional services companies below.
Doing it end to end
- Start with one of professional services companies you already know, so a wrong company size answer is obvious rather than plausible.
- Run Website Traffic Rank Estimator across your list of professional services companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for company size.
- Read ten rows of company size on professional services companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
Traditional Search Tools
- Their own team page, for professional services companies. Free, and it is the most accurate record they publish about themselves.
- 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.
