DesignRush Scraper — Premium B2B Agency Leads with Minimum Budget Data

Extract 40,000+ verified B2B agencies from DesignRush — the brand-discovery directory used by Fortune 500 procurement teams. Every record ships with email, phone, full street address, hourly rate, minimum project budget, employees, founded year, and inline verified reviews — clean JSON / CSV / Excel, no manual exports.

This is the richest agency dataset on the open web packaged into a single Apify actor: better contact coverage (100% email + phone in our sample), more granular pricing signals (minimum budget AND hourly rate), and full review bodies embedded in each record.

---

⭐ Why this scraper beats every alternative

DesignRush is the directory Fortune 500 marketing departments use to shortlist agencies. Unlike GoodFirms or Clutch, every listed agency declares:

• Minimum project budget ($10K–$25K, $50K–$100K, $100K+, Inquire) — a fit signal the other directories simply don't carry
• DesignRush Design Awards — third-party validated top-quality marker, ideal for elite-tier targeting
• Notable client logos — Microsoft, Sony, P&G class brands they've served (instant trust signal for outreach)
• Portfolio gallery — visual work samples directly in the record

You get this data at scale: 50 agencies per category page (vs 10 on competitors) → 5× faster bulk discovery, lower cost per lead.

Who buys this data

• B2B sales teams running outbound to digital agencies
• Agency-tech vendors (project management tools, time tracking, dev tools, design plugins) targeting their ICP
• Account-based marketing (ABM) teams building hand-picked Tier-1 account lists
• Procurement / RFP teams sourcing creative & marketing partners with budget signals
• Investors / M&A analysts screening acquisition targets in the creative-services space
• Recruiters & talent platforms placing creatives in award-winning agencies
• PR & comms teams monitoring agency awards & client wins for media outreach
• SaaS founders building "agencies hire SaaS" lookalike pipelines
• Market researchers & strategists sizing the design / digital-marketing TAM

If you've ever paid four-figure prices to ZoomInfo, Apollo, Crunchbase, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator for agency leads — this scraper delivers a richer, more specific dataset for a fraction of the cost.

💡 Tips & best practices

Sales / outbound

• Start narrow, then scale. Always run maxRecords: 100 for the first run to validate the data on your real ICP before pulling thousands.
• Run with scrapeProfileDetails: true for outbound — listing card data alone misses the email/phone/full address.
• Skip reviews for pure lead-gen (scrapeReviews: false) if you only need contact data — faster runs, lower cost.
• Combine filters for ICP precision — minRating: 4.5 + minReviews: 10 + employeesFilter + locationSlugs zeroes in on your perfect prospect.

Competitive intelligence

• Set scrapeReviews: true for full review bodies (default ON, no extra request cost) — gold for understanding what clients say about your competitors.
• Use the reviews view (CSV export) for sentiment analysis, LLM-based theme extraction, or quote mining for case-study pitches.

Elite-tier targeting

• awardWinnersOnly: true + minRating: 4.8 + minReviews: 20 = the top decile of agencies. Use for premium outreach where every contact deserves a custom approach.

Speed vs depth

• scrapeProfileDetails: false → ultra-fast listing-only discovery, 50 leads/page, cheaper.
• scrapeProfileDetails: true (default) → full data per profile, recommended for any paid outreach.

Geography

• Pair locationSlugs: ["us"] with state slugs for hyper-local: e.g. ["us", "california", "new-york"]. Each combination is paginated separately, giving you maximum coverage.

Cost management

• The first 100 records every run are free — design your queries to fit within that for testing.
• For huge runs (10K+ records), schedule them overnight with maxConcurrency: 2 for stable execution.

❓ FAQ

Is the data fresh? Every run pulls live data at the moment of execution. Schedule daily or weekly runs for change tracking (new agencies, new awards, new reviews).

Can I scrape a single specific agency? Yes — pass it in agencySlugs: ["agency-slug"] or include the profile URL in startUrls.

Can I export to my CRM? Yes — the dataset is exportable as CSV, XLSX, or JSON, and Apify's API lets you pipe it directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Apollo, Clay, Smartlead, Lemlist, Outreach, Reply.io, or any custom stack.

Will the same agency appear twice in one run? No — deduplication by slug across all discovery sources.

Can I filter by award status? Yes — awardWinnersOnly: true returns only agencies holding a DesignRush Design Award badge.

Can I filter by rating or review count? Yes — minRating: 4.5 (or any 0–5 value) + minReviews: 10 for quality filters.

Can I limit to a specific country, state, or city? Yes — locationSlugs: ["us", "california", "new-york"]. Combine with categorySlugs for tight segmentation.

Are reviews included by default? Yes — scrapeReviews: true is the default and reviews are embedded in each record at no extra request cost.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Absolutely — Apify's built-in scheduler runs this scraper on any cron expression. Daily / weekly / monthly all supported.

Does this work for software listings too? No — DesignRush is exclusively an agency directory. For SaaS / software listings, see our GoodFirms Scraper which includes software product data.

Is there a free tier? Yes — the first 100 records per run are free. Plenty for validating the data on your real ICP before scaling.

Can I sort the data after I scrape? Yes — open the CSV in Excel / Google Sheets and sort by any field (rating, hourlyRateRange, minBudget, employeesRange, reviewCount, etc.).

What's the difference between this and the GoodFirms Scraper? GoodFirms has more total agencies (~110K vs 40K) but DesignRush has better contact coverage (100% email + phone), minimum budget data (which GoodFirms lacks), and award badges. For pure outbound contact lists, DesignRush is denser per record. For maximum agency volume, GoodFirms wins. Many users run both and dedupe by website.

💸 Pricing

This scraper uses Pay-per-result pricing — you pay only for the records you actually receive. No subscriptions, no platform fees from us. Fresh B2B agency leads at a fraction of ZoomInfo / Apollo / Crunchbase pricing per record.

The first 100 results per run are free so you can validate the data before scaling.
