How to read the estimates

• estimatedLocationCount is an estimate based on the location pages, sitemaps and JSON-LD the brand publishes. Sites that hide locations behind a JavaScript store-finder or map widget can be undercounted, and shared or duplicate pages can occasionally be overcounted.
• estimatedMonthlyCommercialContractAud and estimatedMonthlyContractRangeAud are a rough estimate only: location count × a flat per-site rate (about A$550, or A$650 for dental and medical), capped between A$1,500 and A$120,000. They are not based on the brand's actual spend and should be used for rough prioritisation, not quoting.

Use cases

• Lead generation: find multi-site franchise, clinic and retail groups to sell to.
• Market research: compare the footprint of competing chains by state.
• Franchise analysis: track location growth over time.

How many locations does a brand have?

Add the brand's domain. The Actor reads its store locator and location pages and returns estimatedLocationCount plus the states and suburbs detected.

How do I scrape a store locator?

Pass a list of brand domains; the Actor finds the store locator or locations page on each site and its sitemaps, so you don't need to build a scraper per site.

How do I find multi-location businesses?

Run a list of domains and filter by location count to find franchise groups, clinic networks and retail chains.

FAQ

What does Store Locator Scraper: Franchise Location Counter do? For each brand domain it finds the location, clinic or venue pages the brand publishes, then returns an estimated location count, multi-site tier, states and suburbs covered, booking and operations tools detected, role-based contacts and (for Australian brands) ABN and GST status.

How accurate is the location count? It is an estimate. It counts the location pages the brand publishes in sitemaps, location directories and JSON-LD. Store finders that only load through JavaScript or a map widget may be missed, so treat the number as a lower bound for those sites.

Does it work outside Australia? Yes. Footprint mapping, the booking stack and contacts work for any website (UK regions are recognised too). ABN and GST checks only apply to Australian businesses; other brands show Non-AU / Not Listed.

How much does it cost? $10 per 1,000 results (Free $10 · Bronze $9 · Silver $8 · Gold+ $7). Invalid, timed-out or unreachable domains still appear in the dataset but cost $0.

What output formats are supported? One JSON row per domain (see the Output tab), exportable as JSON, CSV or Excel or readable via the API. It uses plain HTTP requests, not a headless browser, and each domain has a time cap of about 12 seconds.
