IP-to-company matching compares an internet connection's IP address with company information.

## Why it matters

Turn a technical network address into a company your team can evaluate.

## Illustrative example

A recognized office connection may return the business associated with that network.

## What to check

Shared networks, remote work, and missing records can prevent a reliable match.

## How Data SDK fits

Data SDK connects website visits with available company details worldwide, from startups to larger businesses. Coverage and fields vary. Start free trial opens an email request; terms are confirmed with the team. The full API is coming soon.

These are suggested workflows, not a list of built-in integrations. Use your own approved analytics, CRM, and research process where needed. Matches and fields vary. A company match does not identify a person or prove buying intent.
