Business Listings Scraping

We build custom databases of businesses: from directories, listings, maps, and public registries. Each record includes name, address, phone, website, email, category, business hours, and social profiles. Data is cross-checked between sources, and every company appears in the database exactly once.

How pricing works

How much does a business listings scraper cost? The price is built from clear factors, from the number of sources to the field set. We send a quote and a data sample before any work starts.

How many directories, maps, and registries need to be covered.
Data volume
The number of businesses, fields, and regions in the export.
Update frequency
One-off or on a schedule. Change deltas keep the database fresh.
Source complexity
Dynamic pages and anti-bot protection make collection harder.
Delivery format
File, continuously updated feed, API, or a ready-made web interface.
Extra processing
Cross-source verification, contact validation, registry details.

What a business listings scraper is, in simple terms

A business listings scraper is a bot that gathers company profiles from directories, listings, maps, and registries into one table. Some call it a parser, from the English word parse, "to break down." The program breaks down website pages and pulls the data out of them: names, addresses, contacts, categories.

We build (scrape) company databases to order. There's nothing to install and no settings to figure out: you describe the task, and our team delivers a ready-made database.

Types of scrapers

Scrapers differ by source and by how they're delivered:

  • directory and map scrapers collect business profiles;
  • content scrapers pull texts, images, and links from pages;
  • online store scrapers track products and prices;
  • by form, they can be installable programs, cloud tools, or done-for-you data collection.

In marketing, a scraper is a tool for building databases for segmentation, prospecting, and competitor analysis. Our specialty in this lineup is business profiles. Page content itself (texts and images) is handled by web scraping, while products and store price tracking are covered by online store monitoring.

What a business profile includes

The field set is tailored to the task. By default we collect:

  • names and brand, business category;
  • address, branch locations, and coordinates;
  • phones, email, website, and social media pages;
  • business hours, ratings, and review counts;
  • official details from government business registries: registration numbers and incorporation dates.

A profile can carry up to a dozen links: website, social profiles, messengers. We add an officer's name where a public registry publishes it. There are no private individuals in the database: we collect businesses, not users' personal data. Images (logos, storefront photos) can be added as links on request.

The core value lies in cross-source verification. The same company, say a cafe chain or a clinic, is described differently in different sources. We merge the records, resolve field conflicts, and remove duplicates. The database contains no double entries and no closed locations.

Collecting emails and contact details

Contacts come from directory profiles and from company websites. On a company site the email often sits in the footer or on the contact page: the bot visits those sections, grabs the email address and phone numbers. Everything published openly on websites goes into the database after checks: syntax, domain, duplicates. The amount of information depends on the niche.

A note on scope: we don't send campaigns. We build the database; sending emails stays with your email platform. Deep email validation and collection from complex sites are handled by email scraping, and phone numbers with normalization by phone number scraping.

Configuring the scraper for your task

The scraping process starts with source scouting. In business listings scraping, the key is choosing the right platforms: we look at where your niche is best represented, from directories and maps to supplier and manufacturer websites. The output is a duplicate-free list of businesses. Map locations are best covered by Google Maps scraping.

Example tasks:

  • every dental practice in the country with phones and emails;
  • niche stores and showrooms across 10 cities;
  • supplier and distributor databases for an industry;
  • competitor monitoring: location openings and closures.

We deliver the result as CSV, Excel, XML, or JSON files, as a feed, via API, or in a web interface with filters. Row counts are limited only by the sources: from hundreds of businesses to hundreds of thousands. We can note the provenance of every field in the database.

FAQ

Business listings scraper: questions and answers

Can't find the answer you need? Send a request: our team will get back to you within one business day.

Which sources do you collect from?

Business directories, listings, maps, company websites, and public registries. We tailor the source mix to your niche and country. Field provenance information is preserved.

How are conflicts between sources resolved?

Fields are reconciled using source-priority and data-freshness rules. Contested cases are reviewed manually by the team.

How current is the database?

A one-off export reflects the current state of the sources. With a subscription, the database is refreshed on schedule: monthly, weekly, or more often.

Do you include legal and registry data?

Yes. From public government registries we add official details: registration numbers, incorporation dates, and officer names where the registry publishes them. Field availability varies by country; we show it in the quote.

How much does business listings scraping cost?

Projects start at $150. The final price depends on the number of sources, data volume, update frequency, and extra processing (see the factor breakdown above). We send an exact quote and a data sample before work starts.

What is a scraper, in simple terms?

A program that visits website pages and copies what's needed into a table. It's also called a parser, from the English parse, "to break down." It replaces the human in the routine part: instead of copying by hand, thousands of pages are processed in a single run.

What is a scraper in marketing?

A tool for building databases for prospecting, segmentation, and competitor analysis. Marketers order selections of businesses by niche and region, then work with them in a CRM and email platforms.

Do you send email campaigns to the collected database?

No, we don't send campaigns. We're responsible for building the database and its quality: contacts, deduplication, and cross-source verification. Your email platform sends the emails; we'll match the field structure to its import format.

In what file formats do you deliver the database?

A CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML file, a continuously updated feed, API access, or a web interface with filters and export. The interface supports multiple users. UTF-8 encoding, so names and addresses display correctly.
