Why do businesses use a Bing Maps scraper for lead generation?
If you sell to local businesses, nothing beats a clean, up-to-date list of real companies in real places. Bing Maps is a goldmine for that: it organizes millions of local listings—business names, categories, phone numbers, addresses, websites, and more—exactly the details you need to start meaningful outreach. A Bing Maps scraper turns that public directory into structured, ready-to-use data at scale.
Below is a simple, human-first breakdown of why teams rely on a Bing Maps scraper, how to use yours step-by-step, and where Public Scraper Ultimate fits into a repeatable growth workflow.
Why Bing Maps for lead gen?
1) Local intent, built in.
Searches on Bing Maps are inherently local (“plumber in Dallas”, “Italian restaurant near me”). That means the results already match geographic and service intent—great for targeting territory reps, franchise expansions, or city-by-city campaigns.
2) Visibility into underserved markets.
Bing’s audience is meaningful (especially on Windows default setups and enterprise environments). You’ll often uncover businesses that don’t show up where you usually look—or are ranked differently—so you can find pockets of opportunity your competitors miss.
3) Consistent business fields.
Listings tend to be formatted with predictable fields (name, category, address, phone, website, hours, rating/review counts). That consistency makes it much easier to standardize, deduplicate, and import to your CRM.
4) Faster prospecting at scale.
Manual copy-paste is fine for five leads—not five thousand. A scraper collects data in minutes, not weeks, so your team spends time talking to prospects instead of hunting for them.
5) Better territory mapping.
Because every lead has coordinates or a mappable address, you can cluster by neighborhood, zip code, or radius. Sales ops love this for routing, event planning, and balanced territory assignments.
6) Lower CAC via focused lists.
Clean, location-qualified lists improve open rates and decrease wasted spend. If you know the exact service area and category, your messaging can be laser-specific—and cheaper to acquire per customer.
What data points are most useful?
Simple Custom Notes (e.g., keywords per city) – extra tags you add for campaign tracking or filtering.e sources.
Business Name / Title – the official name of the company, used to identify and segment leads.
Category / Industry – tells you what type of business it is, helpful for targeting the right niche.
Ratings & Review Counts – quick quality signals to judge reputation and customer activity.
Phone Number – direct contact for quick qualification or follow-up calls.
Full Address (street, city, ZIP, state, country) – useful for territory planning, local personalization, or mapping.
Website URL – gives you more context about the business, plus a source for finding emails.
Short Description (when present) – a quick summary of what the business does, good for personalization.
Opening Hours – helps in planning outreach at the right times.
Social Links (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube—if listed) – allows multichannel engagement and research.
Mentions on Third-Party Directories (Yelp, Angi, Yellow Pages, etc.) – can reveal backlinks, citations, and competitor listings.
How to use a Bing Maps Scraper (step-by-step)
1) Load your keyword list
Start with specific, high-intent terms: plumbers, coffee shops, family lawyers, digital marketing agencies. Keep it focused—specific niches produce cleaner data.
2) Load your locations list
Add cities, regions, or a radius/ZIP list (e.g., New York, Los Angeles, Chicago or 10km around a venue). Scaling from one city to twenty should be as simple as adding rows.
3) Enable Proxy (optional)
Turn on proxy rotation to reduce IP blocks. If your tool allows it, set how many cities to scrape before switching proxies. This keeps sessions stable on longer runs.
4) Run the scrape
Press Start and let rows populate automatically—no tab-hopping, no copy-paste. The scraper pulls names, categories, ratings, phones, full addresses, websites, hours, and (when available) social links and brief descriptions.
5) Quick QA spot-check
Open a handful of records and verify:
- Addresses look complete (street, city, ZIP, state, country)
- Phone formats are consistent
- Websites load
- No obvious duplicates
6) Export and put the data to work
Export to CSV, XLSX, or JSON. From there, import to your CRM or a dashboard. For smoother ops, add a campaign tag per export (e.g., NYC_coffee_Q4).
7) Light cleanup (recommended)
- Deduplicate by phone + domain
- Normalize city/state and split street/ZIP into separate columns
- Filter out low-value inboxes before outreach (e.g.,
careers@,no-reply@) - Keep a copy of the raw export for audit/change tracking
8) Refresh on a schedule (optional)
Local data changes. Schedule weekly or monthly runs so new/updated records stay fresh. If supported, enable “only new/changed” so lists don’t bloat.
Good practice: follow platform terms and local laws (GDPR/CCPA, etc.). Stick to public business info, respect rate limits, and use permission-aware outreach. Quality beats volume.
