About US Business Scraper

Need a reliable list of US businesses for your next project? This scraper pulls company data from public sources, saving you the headache of manual searching. I've used it to build lead lists and it delivers exactly what you need: key contact details like business names, addresses, and phone numbers. What makes it really useful are the filters. You can narrow down results by specific keywords—say, "plumbing" or "software development"—and target exact cities or states. This means you're not just getting a massive, useless data dump; you're getting a tailored list of prospects ready for outreach or analysis. It's perfect for sales teams looking for new leads, marketers analyzing local competition, or researchers compiling business directories. Set it up, define your filters, and let it run. You'll get structured data back without having to write a single line of scraping code yourself. It handles the messy data extraction so you can focus on using the information.
