FAQ

What data can I extract from GoodFirms? Agency names, ratings, review counts, service categories, locations, employee sizes, hourly rates, project minimums, and full profile details including portfolios, clients, and contact info.

Is there a limit on how many agencies I can scrape? The maxResults parameter (up to 1,000) controls the total output. Use maxPages (up to 50) to control how many directory pages are crawled.

How long does a typical run take? Without profile scraping, a run of 100 results takes approximately 2-5 minutes. With scrapeProfiles enabled, expect 10-20 minutes for the same volume.

Can I scrape specific agency profiles instead of directories? Yes. Use the profileUrls field to provide direct links to individual GoodFirms agency pages.

Does this work for all GoodFirms categories? Yes. Provide any valid GoodFirms directory URL — web design, mobile development, digital marketing, IT services, SEO, e-commerce, AI/ML, and more.

What proxy configuration is recommended? Residential proxies are recommended for large-scale scraping. The Actor supports Apify Proxy and custom proxy URLs.
