Business & Lead Data Scraping
Getting B2B leads and company data off the web. Two kinds of sources matter here:
- Business listings & directories (Google Maps, IndiaMart, JustDial) give you the prospecting basics: company name, phone, website, category, location, rating. Best for building local lead lists and supplier shortlists.
- Registry / verification sources (GST Verification, UN Comtrade) are authoritative — they confirm a legal entity, its status, or its trade activity. Best for KYB/due-diligence and market sizing.
The fields that carry a lead: company, contact (phone/website), category, location — plus a verification or enrichment field (GSTIN, employee roster, HS-code trade volume) when you need to qualify it.
