Data is dirty, especially company data, and matching can be difficult but fruitful exercise. Effective matching is the starting-point for any BrightQuery engagement.
MATCH ON COMPANY
BQ first looks to Company-based information to determine the actual entity being looked-up.
MATCH ON PERSON
Many company records actually point first to a person, usually an owner, and their home address.
BQ includes sole-proprietor lookup, so we can lookup the entity from the owner’s information.
