Why teams choose ScrapePlaces for local lead lists
ScrapePlaces is built around a simple workflow: choose a business category, choose a location, preview the records, estimate the run, and export the data. It is especially useful for agencies, marketers, and founders who need practical local business lists instead of a broad scraping toolkit.
- Search by business category and location
- Use city, ZIP code, state, country, or multi-location searches
- Preview masked business records before exporting
- Add optional enrichments such as emails, phones, company insights, chain info, and social links
- Export business data for sales, marketing, research, or outreach workflows
Example local lead list workflow

Example: a search for marketing agencies across San Francisco-area locations can include business records, emails, phone numbers, company insights, chain information, and social links.
