• Employee counts - Company size for targeting

FAQ

Q: Do I need a Manta account?

A: No. This scraper uses public Manta data. No login required.

Q: How accurate are revenue estimates?

A: Manta's revenue estimates are approximate ranges (e.g., "$500K - $1M"). They provide directional guidance for lead qualification but should not be treated as exact figures.

Q: What are SIC and NAICS codes?

A: SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) and NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) are standardized codes used to classify businesses by industry. Useful for segmenting prospect lists.

Q: How does this compare to ZoomInfo or Apollo?

A: Manta provides basic firmographic data at a fraction of the cost. For comprehensive contact-level data (email, direct dial), consider enrichment tools. Manta excels at company-level firmographics.
