Works with Apollo.io CSV exports

Clean Company Names from Apollo.io Exports

Apollo.io exports contain company names with legal suffixes, ALL CAPS formatting, and generic filler words. Clean them all in seconds before importing into your cold email tool.

The problem with Apollo company data

Apollo.io is one of the best prospecting tools on the market, but its company name data comes from business registries, SEC filings, and web scraping — sources that prioritize legal accuracy over readability.

The result: your Apollo export is full of names like:

ACME CONSULTING SOLUTIONS LLC
NORTH STAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
PACIFIC HOLDINGS GROUP, L.L.C.
SUMMIT PARTNERS LLP

Drop these into a {{company}} merge field and your email reads: "Love what ACME CONSULTING SOLUTIONS LLC is doing" — instantly flagged as spam by both the recipient and their email provider.
