Question : Convert Company Name to Domain Name

We have a vast list of company names which we have purchased however we want to ascertain the domain name of each company. Currently we can type the full registered company name into google and it will return the results. 99 times out of 100 the top results is the domain name that we require.

Does anyone know of a way that we can automate this whole process?

If they have any ideas that would be great

With Regards

Answer : Convert Company Name to Domain Name

It is possible, however I don't know or think there will be an off the shelf solution.

Probably the most official way to do it is to use their Ajax API.

Please check that you are not going to break their Terms Of Service (TOS). I have the feeling your type of use will not be allowed, but I'm not a lawyer

A developer in that field should be able to create a basic application in less than a day.

Googling 80k of names, say at 10 seconds a name is a months work! You will probably find the application can't do it much faster.
