BBB Advanced Scraper

🚀 BBB Advanced Scraper

Easily extract detailed business data from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB Advanced Scraper allows you to gather extensive information from BBB business profiles with powerful filtering options based on search keywords, location, and distance.

✨ Features

• 🎯 Lead Generation: Identify potential business leads by extracting key contact details and accreditation status for outreach and sales.
• 📊 Comprehensive Business Data: Retrieve business names, ratings, reviews, accreditation status, contact details, industry categories, complaint history, and more for in-depth analysis.
• 🗺️ Many Keywords × Many Locations: Search several keywords across several cities or ZIP codes in one run. Every keyword is searched in every location.
• 🧹 No Duplicates: A listing found by more than one search is saved (and charged) only once. Branches of the same business at different addresses stay as separate rows. Each row records the keyword and location that found it.
• ⚡ Advanced Filtering: Search businesses by keywords, location, and distance to refine results based on specific criteria.
• ⏳ Fast & Efficient: Quickly extract large amounts of structured business data for market research, competitor analysis, and compliance tracking.

🛠️ How It Works

• Enter Search Keywords – Specify one or more business keywords, one or more locations, and an optional distance filter.
• Run the Scraper – Start the process and receive structured business data in seconds.
• Analyze the Data – Utilize extracted data for research, monitoring, and reporting.

📍 Getting More Than 225 Results

BBB shows at most 225 businesses (15 pages) per search, even when it has thousands of matches. For example, "Plumber" near 90210 has over 7,000 matches on BBB, but only the first 225 can be viewed. This limit is BBB's, not the scraper's.

To collect more, split a large area into smaller searches: list many ZIP codes (or nearby cities) and set a small distance, so each search stays under 225 results. The scraper runs all of them and removes duplicates. The run log warns you about every search that hit the limit.

{
    "search": "Plumber",
    "searches": ["Roofing", "Electrician"],
    "location": "90001",
    "locations": ["90002", "90003", "90004", "90005"],
    "distance": 5
}

This input runs 15 searches (3 keywords × 5 ZIP codes). The single search and location fields and the searches and locations lists are combined, so older inputs with only search and location still work unchanged.
