Clearbit Fit Score

What is Clearbit Fit Score?

The Clearbit Fit Score is a data-driven measure that indicates how closely a prospect or company aligns with your ideal customer profile (ICP). It leverages firmographic, technographic, and demographic data, such as company size, industry, location, revenue, and tech stack, to assign a numeric value or grade (usually from 0–100 or A–F). The higher the score, the stronger the fit between the prospect and your target market.

How to Calculate Clearbit Fit Score?

Clearbit Fit Score combines multiple attributes retrieved from Clearbit’s data enrichment API. Each attribute is assigned a weight based on its relevance to your ICP. The weighted sum of all attributes results in the final fit score, normalized to a scale (0–100 or A–F).

Steps to Calculate Clearbit Fit Score

  • Step 1 : Define your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
  • Step 2 : Use Clearbit’s enrichment API to gather these attributes for your leads or accounts.
  • Step 3 : Allocate percentage importance to each factor (e.g., Industry – 30%, Company Size – 25%, Tech Stack – 20%, Revenue – 15%, Geography – 10%).
  • Step 4 : Rate each data point on a scale (e.g., 0–5 or 0–10) based on how well it matches the ICP.
  • Step 5 : Multiply each score by its weight, sum them up, and normalize to a final 0–100 score.
  • Step 6 : Optionally, translate numeric scores into grades (e.g., 80–100 = A, 60–79 = B, etc.) for easier segmentation.
