ScraperCity for market researchers

Most market questions come down to counting and sampling. How many veterinary clinics operate in this region? What share of apparel stores run on Shopify? Which operations managers at mid-size logistics firms could we interview next month? Published statistics answer part of it, late and at a level of detail that rarely matches the question.

ScraperCity puts current, row-level data behind those questions. The local business database covers 68.3M+ businesses you can count by category, city, ZIP code, or state. The ecommerce data covers 14M stores across 10 platforms, and the B2B contact database holds 382.9M+ professionals you can filter by title, industry, and company size.

What researchers build with it

• Market counts: how many businesses of a type operate in each city, state, or ZIP code of a study area.
• Density maps: competitors per area, ready to plot from the addresses in the export.
• Ecommerce market profiles: store counts by platform, category, and traffic or sales band.
• Respondent lists: decision makers by role and company size for interviews, panels, and surveys.
• Repeat snapshots: the same saved search run each quarter to track how a market shifts.

Sizing a regional market

Say a client wants to know how saturated veterinary care is across the Southeast before entering it.

1. Count by state. Run the same veterinary search in the local business database for each state in the region and record the match counts.
2. Go down a level. Repeat for the largest metros and a sample of rural ZIP codes, so the client sees where clinics cluster and where coverage thins out.
3. Read maturity from reviews. Pull a fresh Google Maps snapshot for a few cities. Review counts and ratings show which markets are dominated by established practices and which are still open.
4. Hear it from operators. Filter the local records to clinics with a named contact and an email, then invite 20 practice owners to short interviews.
5. Set up the follow-up. Save each search so the same counts can be rerun next quarter and compared line for line.
