If you’ve ever had the task of copying & pasting information from a website, you’ll appreciate the benefits of using a web scraper.
A web scraper is software that collects data from a website in a structured way.
I’ll use an example to explain:
You want to create a list of all the plumbers in your area so you visit a local directory website, search fro your area then copy the website URL into your web scraping tool. Within minutes, you’ll have an Excel table with the plumber name, address, phone number etc
Is this useful for my business?
Using a website scraping tool is useful for:
Collecting customer contact lists
Doing competitor research
Compiling reports from directory websites i.e. real estate, services etc
Downloading product information for use in research or on your own website
