Local Scraper - Lead Generation Software Reviews

Local scraper is the historic reference for the GMB scrap, i use it since multiple years, and the appsumo offers is a really good opportuny, i try other scraping tools but honestly the quick gmb task is the best that can exist.

- unlimited scrape
- easy to understand UI
- simply the best!

I'm not from an industry that does anything close to this, and I picked this up and started scraping immediately. The interface is easy to navigate, and you actually see it going thru the motions to collect data. Clever program for sure, saves tons of time. I would have paid more for a lifetime deal, but 1 year was good for now. Please let me know if you consider upgrades for lifetime, or prepayment for future years at discount.

I purchased Local Scraper a few months ago (February) and hadn't really put too much time into using it. At first, I was offput by having to purchase my own proxy (the other scraper I used prior had this built in, or I didn't need my own), but this was naive on my part.

I reached out to Grant to ask a few questions, and he was VERY quick to respond and very helpful in his responses to my questions, including setting up a proxy.

Fast forward to two weeks ago...

I finally purchased a proxy subscription and put this scraper to the test and WOW! I'm extremely pleased with its ability to grab data from Google Maps and Yellow Pages. For my own personal use, I'm likely going to mostly use the Google Maps Full and Email Finder features of the application since it gives me the widest range of results.

One thing I noticed in my testing with Google is to use Zip Codes vs City name. What I do is run my list of keywords against a zip code and that gives me more results.

For added context, I'm using Chicago to run my tests and have a list of all standard zip codes and a list of about 70 keywords. I run all the keywords against each zip code. Then I run some python scripts I wrote to merge all the CSV files into a single Excel file that also removes duplicate and empty data so I have exactly what I need. Last, I upload the Excel file into an Airtable setup that acts as a flimsy and simple CRM that specifically focuses on the data from this program.

The only thing I had an issue with is the fact that I can't run a list of keywords against a list of zip codes. I was told each list needed to be the same length. It's not the end of the world by any means, and my keyword lists are going to be a little exhaustive, so breaking them up might not be a bad idea.

Overall, I LOVE this program and will renew again next year. I've already gotten my ROI and then some and would give this 15 tacos if I could!

Does what it promises and more!

Scrape G maps, scrape websites for emails, combine csv, deletes duplicates, awesome little software. I keep it running on virtualbox on mac. Mac version was buggy, but windows works perfectly 👌
