# Companies

> Track and organize the companies behind your contacts

## What is the Companies tab?

The Companies tab groups your contacts by the organizations they belong to. Use it to see every contact at a given company, the total deal value tied to that company, and a unified activity timeline across all of their people.

## How companies are created

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Automatically from contacts">
    When a contact is added with a business email address, Clarky checks for an existing company matching that domain. If one exists, the contact is linked to it. If not, a new company record is created using the email domain.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Manually">
    Use the **New Company** button on the Companies tab to create a company directly. You can fill in the name, website domain, industry, size, tags, and notes.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## The Companies list

Each row shows:

* **Name** — the company name
* **Domain** — the website / email domain used for matching
* **Industry** and **Size** — populated when known
* **Contacts** — how many people from this company are in your CRM
* **Total Deal Value** — sum of deal values across all contacts at the company
* **Pipeline Stage** — the stage assigned to the company itself
* **Last Activity** — most recent interaction with anyone at the company

You can search by name or domain, filter by columns, and sort by any field. Click a row to open the company detail view.

## Company detail page

Opening a company shows everything in one place:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Header & summary">
    Name, domain, industry, size, total deal value, pipeline stage, and tags.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Contacts">
    Every contact linked to this company. Click through to any individual contact for their full profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activity timeline">
    A unified feed of activities across all contacts at the company. Add notes, calls, meetings, and tasks directly to the company record.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deal tracking">
    Move the company through your pipeline and watch the aggregated deal value update.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Logging an activity from the company timeline lets you tag one or more contacts at that company in a single entry — useful for meetings or calls with multiple stakeholders.
</Tip>

## Tips

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Keep domains accurate">
    Auto-grouping uses the email domain to match contacts. If a company has multiple domains (e.g., acme.com and acme-corp.com), you may end up with two separate company records. Merge them manually if needed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use tags for segments">
    Add tags like `enterprise`, `partner`, or `prospect` to group companies in custom ways beyond industry and size.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Track named accounts">
    For account-based sales, use the company pipeline stage to track named accounts independently of individual contacts moving through their own stages.
  </Accordion>
