A scraper we built in-house for pulling business listings from Google Maps, with a qualification step on top of the raw listings.
Building account lists for markets that live on Google Maps rather than in LinkedIn-based databases.
Local and commercial service markets that LinkedIn-based databases cover poorly
Layering our own qualification logic on top of the raw listings
We use our own Google Maps scraper whenever a market is mainly discoverable through Maps — local and commercial service businesses especially.
Built in-house — not available as a product.
For markets that live on Google Maps, a scraper is often the only realistic way to build the account universe. The raw pull is the easy part — deciding whether a listing is actually a commercial account worth pursuing is the real work, and that logic has to be specific to the market.
That's why we built our own: the scraper and the qualification logic are developed together.
