Ocean.io
Seed Ocean.io with your best customers — closed-won domains from your CRM — and get back companies that resemble them. Discovery only.
What the Ocean.io integration does
Salesfinity's Ocean.io integration finds companies that look like the customers you already won: you seed it with domains, it returns comparable companies. That is the capability that separates it from every other provider in Salesfinity — you do not have to work out which filters describe your best accounts, you just point at the accounts. It also supports ordinary firmographic company search, and it is discovery only, so it returns companies and profiles rather than phone numbers or email addresses.
Look-alike search from seed domains
Seed a search with a list of customer domains and get back companies that resemble them
Include or exclude specific domains to steer the result set
Look-alike search for people as well as companies, seeded from profiles
Firmographic company search
Search companies on firmographic criteria when you do not have a seed list to start from
Results feed the List Builder alongside any other connected provider
Discovery only
The Ocean.io connector returns companies and profiles for list building, not contact details
Phone numbers and email addresses come from a separate enrichment step, which always requires your explicit approval before credits are spent
Your Ocean.io API key is stored per team, so searches run on your own contract and credits
Common use cases
Turning closed-won deals into a new target list
A team pulls its closed-won accounts from a connected CRM, uses those domains as the seed, and asks Ocean.io for companies that resemble them. The resulting account list is grounded in what actually closed rather than in a written ICP that may be a year out of date. A connected CRM works as a source for list building in Salesfinity, which is what makes this workflow practical.
Expanding a segment that is working
One vertical is outperforming the rest of the pipeline. Instead of writing new filters to describe it, the manager seeds Ocean.io with the twenty best accounts in that vertical and gets a fresh set of comparable companies to feed the dialer.
Finding accounts when your ICP is hard to write down
Some ideal-customer profiles do not reduce to industry codes and headcount bands. Seeding with real customers sidesteps the problem: the similarity is inferred from the seed set rather than declared up front, and the reps get an account list to call through.

Frequently asked questions
Can Ocean.io find companies similar to my customers?
Yes. Look-alike search is the reason to use Ocean.io in Salesfinity. You supply seed domains — commonly closed-won accounts from your CRM — and it returns companies that resemble them, without you having to express what the similarity is.
Does Ocean.io return phone numbers or emails through Salesfinity?
No. The Ocean.io connector is discovery only — it builds account and people lists, not contact records. Dialable phone numbers come from a separate enrichment step that always requires your explicit approval before credits are spent.
How do I get my closed-won accounts in as seeds?
A connected CRM works as a source for building lists in Salesfinity, so you can pull closed-won accounts from the CRM and use those domains as the Ocean.io seed set. That is the intended path for this workflow.
When would I use Ocean.io instead of Exa's find-similar?
Use Ocean.io when you have a set of customer domains to seed with and want look-alikes grounded in that set, on your own Ocean.io contract. Use Exa when you are working from a single example or a description and want something available with no connection step.
Whose Ocean.io credits does this use?
Yours. Ocean.io is bring-your-own-key and the key is stored per team, so searches run under your own vendor contract.
