Brief

BBB Lead Scraper searches the public Better Business Bureau directory and returns structured business leads in visible result order. Each record can include BBB ratings, accreditation details, categories, public contact information, addresses, and traceable BBB URLs.

How Does it Work?

How BBB Lead Scraper works

  1. BrowserAct constructs the public BBB search from Keyword and Location.
  2. The Bot reads the ordered public result list and collects each business name, rank, and BBB profile URL.
  3. It opens each public business profile and waits for BBB's automatic security interstitial to clear when it appears.
  4. The Bot combines profile JSON-LD with visible BBB rating, accreditation, category, website, phone, date, and address fields.
  5. It continues through pagination until Count is reached, then returns structured records with search and evidence URLs.

How Many Results Can You Scrape?

Use Count to control the maximum businesses returned. Each business may require a public BBB profile visit, so larger counts take longer than listing-only templates. Start with the default value and increase gradually.

FAQ About BBB Lead Scraper

Does this Bot require login?

No. It uses public BBB search listings and public business profiles.

Does every BBB profile contain an email address?

No. The Bot only returns a complete email address when it is publicly visible. It does not open gated contact controls or submit forms.

Why are some optional fields empty?

BBB profiles vary in completeness. Missing phone numbers, addresses, dates, websites, or accreditation fields are returned as null instead of being inferred.

Can the Bot collect more than one result page?

Yes. It follows BBB pagination until Count is reached or no more matching results are available.
