The Cognism Chrome Extension can identify companies and contacts while you browse supported company websites.

Using the website's domain, the extension displays available company information and associated contacts, helping you qualify accounts and identify decision-makers without leaving the page.

Before You Begin

Before using the extension on company websites, ensure that:

• The Cognism Chrome Extension is installed.
• You are signed in to the extension.

• Enable Everywhere is enabled in the extension settings.

   

  Note: When Enable Everywhere is disabled, the extension only appears on supported platforms such as LinkedIn and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Open the Extension

To use the extension:

1. Open a supported company website in Google Chrome.

If Auto-open Extension is enabled, the Cognism panel opens automatically.

If it doesn't, click the Cognism icon in your Chrome toolbar.

The extension opens alongside the website.

View Company Information

The extension identifies the company based on its website domain and displays available company insights, including:

• Company name
• Industry
• Company size
• Headquarters location
• Revenue range
• Technologies used by the company

This information helps you determine whether the company matches your target account profile.

View Associated Contacts

If Cognism has contacts associated with the company's domain, the extension displays available people working at that organisation.

Available information may include:

• Name
• Job title
• Department
• Seniority
• Business email address
• Mobile phone number

You can select a contact to view additional information before exporting.

Export Contacts and Companies

You can export companies and contacts directly from the extension.

To export a record:

1. Open the Cognism Chrome Extension.
2. Select the company or contact you want to export.
3. Click Export.
4. Select your connected CRM or Sales Engagement Platform, if prompted.
5. Confirm the export.

The selected record is exported using your configured integration.

Best Practices

To get the most from the Chrome Extension:

• Enable Enable Everywhere before browsing company websites.
• Review company information before exporting contacts.
• Use company insights to qualify accounts before beginning outreach.
• Verify that your CRM or Sales Engagement Platform integration is connected before exporting records.

Troubleshooting

The Extension Doesn't Appear

If the Cognism extension isn't available on a company website:

• Confirm that Enable Everywhere is enabled.
• Refresh the page.
• Verify that you're signed in to the extension.
• Ensure the extension is enabled in Chrome.

The Company Isn't Recognised

The extension identifies companies using the website domain.

If no company is found:

• Confirm that you're on the company's primary website.
• Refresh the page and try again.
• Some websites may not yet be associated with a company in the Cognism database.

No Contacts Are Displayed

Not every company has associated contacts available.

If no contacts appear, Cognism may not currently have contact data linked to that company domain.

Export Isn't Working

If records can't be exported:

• Verify that your CRM or Sales Engagement Platform integration is connected.
• Confirm that you have permission to export records.
• Refresh the page and try again.
