NAICS Code Appending – Match NAICS Codes to Your Company Database
NAICS and SIC code appending is the process of matching companies in an existing database to their industry classifications and returning the file with those codes added.
SICCODE.com goes beyond basic code matching by reviewing the company and its website, determining what the business does, and assigning the appropriate government-level 6-digit NAICS and 4-digit SIC classifications. Extended 8-digit NAICS and 6-digit SIC classifications, confidence scoring, and supporting evidence can also be included when requested. Records that cannot be reliably matched or classified are flagged for review rather than treated as confirmed.
Try It First With a Free Sample
Send 10 to 25 rows from your file and we’ll return a sample so you can review the classifications, confidence information, and requested output before approving the full project.
Choose the Level of Classification You Need
Projects can include standard government-level industry codes, more detailed Extended classifications, and a review layer that documents how confidently each company was matched and classified.
Standard industry classifications used in government data, business databases, analytics, reporting, compliance, customer segmentation, and other classification workflows.
More detailed classifications that identify narrower business activities within the broader government-level industry classification.
When included in the project scope, status, scoring, confidence, and supporting evidence show which classifications are strongly supported and which records require additional review.
What You Send vs. What You Get Back
Keep your existing file structure. We return your original records with the approved classification, verification, and enrichment fields added as new columns.

Your original columns are not overwritten. Available output fields depend on project scope, source availability, and the information that can be reliably established for each record.
How SICCODE.com Classifies and Appends Industry Codes
The objective is not simply to attach a code to every row. The process is designed to identify the correct company, understand its primary business activity, apply the appropriate classification depth, and indicate when the available evidence does not support a confident result.
Match the Company
Use the available company information to determine whether the supplied record and identified website represent the intended business.
Understand the Business
Review available business information, including company activity, products, services, website content, and other relevant information.
Assign Government-Level Codes
Determine the appropriate 6-digit NAICS and/or 4-digit SIC classification based on the company's primary business activity.
Add Extended Classification
When included in the project, assign more specific Extended 8-digit NAICS and 6-digit SIC classifications.
Evaluate Confidence
When included in the project scope, we return classification status, scoring, confidence, notes, and supporting evidence.
Flag Uncertain Records
Records that cannot be reliably matched or classified are identified for review instead of being represented as confirmed classifications.
NAICS and SIC Code Appending Explained
What Is NAICS Code Appending?
NAICS code appending adds industry classifications to companies already contained in a spreadsheet, CRM, customer database, or other business file. SICCODE.com identifies the company, determines its primary activity, and appends the corresponding government-level 6-digit NAICS classification along with the industry title and other requested data.
What Is SIC Code Appending?
SIC code appending applies industry classifications from the Standard Industrial Classification system to companies in an existing business file. SICCODE.com appends government-level 4-digit SIC classifications and, when requested, more specific Extended 6-digit SIC classifications.
Classification Confidence & Supporting Evidence
Not every company record carries the same level of certainty. When included in the project scope, the returned file includes classification status, confidence, scoring, and supporting evidence so your team can distinguish strongly supported classifications from records that require additional review.
Company and Classification Supported
The company or website match is supported and the available evidence supports the assigned industry classification.
Some Evidence Is Incomplete
The company may be identified, but available information is not sufficient to treat every classification field as equally certain.
Match or Classification Is Not Reliable
The available website or company information does not reliably correspond to the intended business or does not support a usable classification.

Common Questions About NAICS & SIC Code Appending
How much does NAICS or SIC code appending cost?
Pricing depends on record count, requested classification depth, enrichment fields, and project complexity. You receive a flat quote before the full project begins.
What information do you need to classify a company?
We use the company name and available identifiers such as address, website, domain, phone, or other company details to establish the correct business. More complete identifying information helps distinguish similarly named companies and locations.
Do I need a website for every company?
No. Available identifying information varies by record. Website information is particularly useful for verifying a company and understanding its primary business activity, products, and services.
What happens if a company cannot be reliably classified?
We flag the record as unmatched, unclear, review-needed, or otherwise unsuitable rather than representing it as a confirmed classification.
Can you append both NAICS and SIC codes?
Yes. Projects can include NAICS, SIC, or both classification systems, depending on your use case and existing data.
What are Extended NAICS and SIC codes?
Extended classifications provide more detailed industry categories beyond government-level 6-digit NAICS and 4-digit SIC classifications. SICCODE.com provides Extended 8-digit NAICS and 6-digit SIC classifications when they are included in the project.
Can you include classification confidence and evidence?
Yes. When included in the project scope, returned records include industry-code status, score, confidence, evidence, Extended-code confidence, and supporting notes so your team can evaluate the strength of the classification.
Can you append additional company information?
Yes. Depending on project scope and source availability, returned records may also include company and website verification, business summaries, products, services, contact information, firmographics, and other requested business data.
Do I have to send my full file before receiving a quote?
No. You can describe the project and begin with a small sample. A full customer database is not required to start the conversation.
What file types can you work with?
CSV, Excel, and common CRM exports are typically suitable. If your data can be exported to a structured spreadsheet, it can usually be reviewed for an appending project.
