DesignRush Agency Scraper

Scrapes agency listings from DesignRush and returns structured data — agency name, website, location, DesignRush rating, Google rating, services, team size, hourly rate, minimum project budget, and portfolio count — as a dataset you can export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or any downstream tool.

Each listing page returns 50 agencies. Default settings use 1 request per run.

What it scrapes

DesignRush organizes agencies into category pages. This actor works on any of them:

Category	URL
Web Design	designrush.com/agency/web-design-companies
SEO	designrush.com/agency/seo-companies
IT Services	designrush.com/agency/it-services
Digital Marketing	designrush.com/agency/digital-marketing-agencies
Mobile App Development	designrush.com/agency/mobile-app-development
Software Development	designrush.com/agency/software-development
UI/UX Design	designrush.com/agency/ux-design-agencies
Branding	designrush.com/agency/branding-agencies
PPC	designrush.com/agency/ppc-management-agencies
Social Media	designrush.com/agency/social-media-marketing
eCommerce	designrush.com/agency/ecommerce-development
Video Production	designrush.com/agency/video-production-companies

Pagination works with ?page=N. Each page has 50 agencies. Set Max listing pages to scrape more pages per category.

How to run it

1. Open the actor and paste one or more DesignRush category URLs into Start URLs. You can also leave it empty and use Category slugs instead.
2. Set Max items to limit how many agency records to collect (default: 50).
3. Scrape full profiles is off by default. The listing page already contains all key fields. Turn it on only if you need deeper profile data (requires one extra request per agency).
4. Click Start and download the dataset when the run finishes.

What it's good for

• Lead generation — DesignRush agencies have public profiles with location, pricing, and client reviews, which makes them ready-to-use sales prospects.
• Market research — map competitor agencies by category, location, team size, or hourly rate across thousands of listings.
• Partnership sourcing — find agencies that complement your service offering by filtering on specific categories or geographies.
• Directory building — aggregate agency data from multiple DesignRush categories into a single structured dataset.

Notes

• Each DesignRush category has up to 108 pages with 50 agencies each (verified on the IT Services category).
• The rating and reviewCount fields reflect DesignRush platform reviews only. googleRating and googleReviewCount are sourced from Google and are null for agencies without a linked Google Business profile.
• Agency websites are returned with UTM tracking parameters stripped.
• The services field pulls from the agency's full services tab, not just the 3 preview tags shown on the card.
• Setting Max listing pages to 1 and Max items to 50 is the most cost-efficient configuration — one request, 50 complete records.
