Infrastructure
Proxy routing, browser execution, retries, and usage controls are operational work.
Build local-business and B2B lead lists from public Google Maps, LinkedIn, and SimilarWeb data — Crawlora is the structured-JSON data layer you collect and enrich yourself, not a prebuilt contact database.
The problem
Sales, growth, and agency teams need public business and company data — names, locations, websites, categories, and firmographic signals — to build and refresh their own lead lists. A prebuilt contact database goes stale and rarely matches your niche, while collecting it in-house means maintaining separate parsers, pagination, proxy routing, deduplication, and usage metering for Google Maps, LinkedIn, and SimilarWeb.
Proxy routing, browser execution, retries, and usage controls are operational work.
Raw pages must become stable records before products and data teams can use them.
Use-case landing pages should map directly to buyer workflows and internal data models.
Structured public web data workflows still need clear legal, privacy, and platform boundaries.
What you can collect
Example fields may include public business and company profile fields plus the query, location, or company context used to collect them.

Build or buy
Custom scrapers can work for prototypes. Production web data workflows need infrastructure, monitoring, stable output, and clear failure behavior.
| DIY approach | Crawlora approach |
|---|---|
| Maintain separate parsers for Google Maps, LinkedIn, and SimilarWeb | Call documented endpoints that return normalized business and company JSON |
| Build pagination, dedupe, and record-merging logic yourself | Use place IDs and consistent fields to dedupe and merge downstream |
| Run proxy rotation and browser automation to avoid blocks | Use managed proxy routing and browser-backed execution behind the API |
| Create your own usage metering and cost tracking | Use API-key usage tracking and credit-based pricing |

FAQ
Answers for developers and product teams evaluating Crawlora for this workflow.
A lead generation API returns structured business and company fields — names, locations, websites, categories, and firmographic signals — so you can build and enrich lead lists without parsing pages yourself.
No. Crawlora is not a prebuilt contact database. It gives you public business and company data from Google Maps, LinkedIn, and SimilarWeb that you collect, normalize, and enrich into your own lead lists — pair it with your own verification and outreach tooling.
You can collect public business profile fields such as name, category, address, website, hours, rating, and review count from Google Maps workflows where those fields are available. Phone numbers may be available where publicly listed and supported.
Yes. LinkedIn company and product endpoints return public company profile fields, and SimilarWeb adds website traffic signals you can use to prioritize accounts.
Crawlora's LinkedIn endpoints are for supported public profile data. You are responsible for complying with LinkedIn's terms, applicable privacy laws, and outreach rules before using the data.
You control cadence with scheduled snapshots, such as weekly or daily refreshes, and compare each run to the previous one. Plan refresh frequency around your responsible-use constraints.
Yes. Because responses are normalized JSON, you can map fields directly into a CRM, spreadsheet, or warehouse and keep records current.
Crawlora uses credit-based pricing per documented endpoint call. Use the pricing page and endpoint docs to estimate cost for your discovery and enrichment volume.
For supported endpoints, managed proxy routing, browser-backed execution where needed, retries, and response normalization are handled behind the API.
Crawlora provides the data layer. You are responsible for lawful, compliant outreach, including consent, privacy obligations, and platform and regional rules.
