Hello,

We are developing out a database that would essentially contain scored information about several thousand companies from across 50+ companies, and 20+ industries.

We would like to create a way for companies to publicly search if we have information available on them. This could be either using a search bar or by applying filters to see what companies we have data for within a specific country or industry. We are unsure how much information we would want to display at this point, but at a minimum it would be the company name, location and industry.

We would want this to be connected to our main website, which is hosted on HubSpot CMS, and wondering if anyone has any ideas on how best to approach this?

Cheers

Hey @SFoley4, thank you for sharing your project with our Community.

It sounds like an exciting initiative! To create a searchable database connected to your [HubSpot CMS](https://www.hubspot.com/products/cms-lp?utm_id=710290753581&utm_term=content_hubspot%20cms_EN&utm_campaign=Content_MultiGoal_EN_NAM_NAM_CMSFree-Brand-NF_e_c_campaignid17612183253_agid138024060213_google&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_content=_&hsa_acc=9694350438&hsa_cam=17612183253&hsa_grp=138024060213&hsa_ad=710290753581&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-838534682799&hsa_kw=hubspot%20cms&hsa_mt=e&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsOq6BhDuARIsAGQ4-zhzYUeBI6UYSk_EsmwBA95Z-jyXiIN3Urt2SGtktlLIxI-OofoHL2waApNrEALw_wcB) website, you could use [HubDB](https://developers.hubspot.com/beta-docs/guides/cms/storage/hubdb/overview) for simpler setups or integrate with an external database. Let’s invite our top experts to share their thoughts @Anton [@Gaurav\_Aggarwal](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781425) do you have any recommendations for @SFoley4 matter?

Thank you,

Hi @SFoley4,

You can build this using hubDB. Each hubDB table can host up to 1,000,000 rows, so you are well within its limit.

To display the data with a search bar and filter, a new page and module(s) need to be developed to fetch and display the data from hubDB.

We’ve done many similar hubDB-based projects. Feel free to reach out to us at [Contact - GiantFocal](https://www.giantfocal.com/contact) if you need help.
