Is there a way to ensure a company is not duplicated without a company domain name?

We work with many companies (approximately 20-25% of our database) that don’t have an associated domain name. I really don’t want to lose out on nearly a quarter of our potential business because deduplication of Companies is associated with a domain name.

I am really trying to manually deduplicate every time we clean our company data in hubspot moving forward.

Hi @Choward525,

I believe at this time HubSpot will only deduplicate based on URL/Company domain.

Hi @Choward525,

Companies are deduplicated by domain name and company ID (see [here)](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/deduplication-of-contacts-companies-deals-tickets). If these are missing from your import file, HubSpot will always create new company records and you could review duplicates in the [duplicate management tool](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/deduplication-of-contacts-companies-deals-tickets#manually-deduplicate-contacts-and-companies-professional-and-enterprise-only).

Hope this helps!
