Example

Which D&B Hoovers tool should I use to check whether Acme Logistics GmbH is the right company before I add it to my list?

Start with a company search using the domain, then compare the candidate's country, address and size. Once one record is confirmed, read its summary and corporate family. I won't add anything to your list until you explicitly say yes to the exact change.

Triage D&B Hoovers accounts by buying timing

Ranks your existing D&B Hoovers accounts by timing, combining buying intent, website visits, news triggers and technology changes into a prioritised view with a reason for each rank. It confirms the account set and time window before pulling signals.

Use it when

You need to know which accounts to contact this week
A campaign just went live and you want to see which target accounts are showing research activity
Leadership or funding news hit part of your territory and you want to act before competitors do

Example

Which of my 40 target accounts should my team contact this week, and why now?

I checked your 40 target accounts over the last 30 days. Four rank as high priority: an account whose website was visited by a finance director and which shows intent on cloud procurement, another that announced a funding round last week, and two that dropped a competing tool. Eleven are medium, based on intent alone with no visit or trigger. The remaining 25 show no signal in the window. Each ranking lists its dated signals, and I flagged one trigger that may belong to a subsidiary.

Company due diligence on D&B Hoovers

Builds a sourced profile of one company before a sales or partnership conversation, covering the corporate family, competitors, technology, recent triggers and contacts. It flags which facts are verified, dated or unverified, and asks you to pick the right entity when names are ambiguous.

Use it when

Before a first call, to learn who the parent company is and who decides
When a same-name company could be the wrong match and you need to confirm it
When preparing a partnership brief that needs recent triggers and known stack

Example

Prepare a due diligence brief on Northwind Logistics GmbH before my call on Thursday.

Matched Northwind Logistics GmbH (Germany) with high confidence on name, country and address. It is a subsidiary of a larger group, so the decision is likely made at parent level. Recent trigger: a warehouse expansion announced 4 months ago. Detected stack includes one incumbent warehouse management product (dated, verify on the call). Two relevant contacts found; one title is unverified.

Clean up and sync a D&B Hoovers list with AI

Example

Audit my 'Q3 Enterprise Targets' Hoovers list for duplicates and stale contacts, and show me what you would change before writing anything.

I read 412 of 412 records. 37 have a matching company identifier that appears twice, so I have proposed 29 merges as no-regret changes. 11 share only a trading name and need your decision. 6 contacts show a new job title in recent news, flagged for review. Nothing has been written yet; tell me which groups to apply.

Example

Build me a list of 40 manufacturing companies in Germany with 200 to 1,000 employees that use SAP, with two finance contacts each.

I found 96 companies matching the industry and size filters, then removed 14 duplicates by identifier and 9 identity mismatches. I kept 40 as the top scored set: 31 are identifier-matched and 9 are name-matched. I have not written them to a list yet. Shall I add these 40 to your list and pull two finance contacts for each?

D&B Hoovers skills FAQ

What is a D&B Hoovers agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each D&B Hoovers skill describes one job, which D&B Hoovers tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the D&B Hoovers skills change anything on their own?

5 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in D&B Hoovers.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect D&B Hoovers; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the D&B Hoovers MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the D&B Hoovers MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The D&B Hoovers MCP setup guide covers every client.
