Input the company names
Add the list of company names in the first column of your spreadsheet:
Input the social media platform
Let’s get the Facebook profiles, first.
This is what your spreadsheet should look like:
Write the =IMPORTFROMGOOGLE() function and extract profiles
By default, the function imports the first 10 Google results with the body, description, and URL. Since we’re looking for the profile’s URL, we use the link data selector.
As there’s a high probability that the company’s profile will be the first result, we can limit the number of results using the numResults option.
Just add this formula:
=IMPORTFROMGOOGLE(A2&B1,"link","numResults:1")
Within seconds, you’ll get the Facebook profile for the first company on your list.
Drag down to copy the formula
After adding the $ symbol around the cell reference to the platform, drag the formula down to the last row:
=IMPORTFROMGOOGLE(A2&$B$1,"link","numResults:1")
Repeat the steps for additional platforms
To get profiles for additional social media platforms, repeat the steps above for each platform.
We’ve designed an easy-to-use template.
Make sure you have installed and activated ImportFromWeb in your Google Sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a way to extract emails from websites?
Absolutely! With ImportFromWeb, you can extract emails from websites using our list of generic selectors, which includes emails.
Here’s the formula you have to write: =IMPORTFROMWEB("https://www.example.com", "emails")
Just bear in mind that while these selectors are designed to work with a wide range of websites, the success of email extraction may vary depending on whether the websites follow general guidelines for design and data presentation.
Another way of getting emails is to use the IMPORTFROMGOOGLE function to perform a boolean search and extract the emails: =IMPORTFROMGOOGLE("search_terms","emails")
