How resolve-company Works

The most important tool — finds the right brand across platforms using a 2-phase approach that minimizes API credits.

Phase 1 (always runs, ~3 credits):

Strategy

What it does

Cost

1. Name search

Searches Meta companies + Google advertisers by brand name

2 credits

2. Domain lookup

Infers domain from name, searches Google by domain

1 credit

4. Website scrape

Fetches homepage, parses for Facebook page link

Free

Phase 2 (only if Phase 1 result is ambiguous, +1-4 credits):

Strategy

What it does

Cost

3. Keyword search

Searches Meta ads for the domain in ad content — finds partner/influencer pages

1 credit

5. Ad count verify

Checks active ad count on top Meta pages — strongest signal

1 credit each (up to 3)

Caching: Results cached for 10 minutes. Second lookup for the same brand is instant (0 credits).

Credit efficiency by brand type:

Scenario

Credits

Time

Well-known brand (e.g. Function Health, 110K likes)

3

~2s

Ambiguous brand (e.g. Superpower, generic name)

7

~8s

Cached lookup (any brand, within 10 min)

0

instant

Results are confidence-ranked (high/medium/low). Active ad count is the tiebreaker — likes can be misleading (a 17K-like unrelated page vs a 3K-like brand with 240 active ads).
