  • Scrape Reviews reviews-section

Kindly note that due to privacy concerns, we do not scrape personally identifiable information of reviewers, such as names, profile photos, and review links. We only scrape the review text, rating, owner response, and similar non-personally identifiable information.

Output Page ('/output')

The Output page helps you manage your tasks. You can use it to:

  • See tasks and their status (pending, in progress, or completed).

  • Abort or delete any task. abort-delete.png

  • Additionally, Whenever you run a query, a task named "All Task" will be created for it, which combines results from multiple queries.

For example, if you search for "Web Developers in Bangalore" and "Web Developers in Mumbai", the "All Task" will show you the combined results for both queries.

Results Page ('/output/1')

This is the most important page where you can view, sort, filter, or download the results of the task.

Sorting

By default, we sort the listings using a really good sorting order, which is as follows ("Best Potential Customers"):

  • Reviews [Businesses with more reviews come first]
  • Website [Businesses more open to technology come first]
  • Is Spending On Ads [Businesses already investing in ads are more likely to invest in your product, so they appear first.]

You can also sort by other criteria, such as name or reviews.
