📌 What This Actor Does

Clutch.co is the world's leading B2B ratings and reviews platform, hosting thousands of verified agency profiles across web development, branding, SEO, mobile apps, and more.

This Apify Actor automates data collection from any Clutch category page — saving hours of manual research.

It works in two phases:

1. Listing phase — scrapes any Clutch category URL (e.g. https://clutch.co/us/agencies/creative) and collects all business profiles across multiple pages
2. Reviews phase (optional) — for each business found, visits the profile page and extracts all verified client reviews, including extended Q&A sections

Who is this for?

• Marketing agencies researching competitors and mapping the landscape
• Business owners vetting service providers before hiring
• Sales teams building targeted B2B lead lists from a trusted platform
• Data analysts running sentiment analysis on verified client feedback
• Researchers studying B2B services markets

⚙️ Input Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	string[]	—	Clutch category page URLs to scrape
maxListingPages	integer	1	Pages to paginate per category. 0 = unlimited
includeReviews	boolean	false	Whether to scrape reviews for each business
maxReviews	integer	0	Reviews per business. 0 = all reviews
proxyConfiguration	object	—	Proxy settings (residential strongly recommended)

Example Input

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://clutch.co/us/agencies/creative",
    "https://clutch.co/us/agencies/seo"
  ],
  "maxListingPages": 3,
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviews": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}

Tips for Best Results

• Enable residential proxies — Clutch uses Cloudflare. Without proxies you will get 403 errors.
• Set includeReviews: false first for quick business discovery, then run a targeted review pass.
• Use maxReviews: 10–20 to keep runs fast when you only need recent feedback.
• Combine multiple startUrls to cover several categories in a single run.

▶️ How to Use

Step 1 — Find a category URL

Go to clutch.co, browse to any category or apply filters, and copy the URL. Examples:

• https://clutch.co/us/agencies/creative — Creative agencies in the US
• https://clutch.co/us/agencies/seo — SEO agencies in the US
• https://clutch.co/uk/agencies/web-design — Web designers in the UK

Step 2 — Configure your run

Paste the URL into startUrls. Then decide on depth:

• Listings only — leave includeReviews as false for a fast, lightweight run
• With reviews — enable includeReviews and optionally set maxReviews to cap the depth
• Quick test — use maxListingPages: 1 and maxReviews: 5 to verify before scaling

Step 3 — Enable residential proxies

In the Proxy configuration field, select Apify Residential Proxy. This is strongly recommended — Clutch's Cloudflare protection will block datacenter IPs.

Step 4 — Run and export

Click Start and watch results appear in the dataset in real time. Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset tab, or pull results via the Apify API.

🛠️ Advanced Tips

Scraping entire categories Set maxListingPages: 0 to disable pagination limits. Popular categories like web development can have 50+ pages.

Getting past Cloudflare If you see HTTP 403 errors, residential proxies are not optional — they are required. Set apifyProxyCountry to match the country of the category you're scraping (e.g. "US" for clutch.co/us/).

Scheduled runs Use Apify's scheduler to run this Actor weekly or monthly to track new reviews and rating changes over time.

Exporting to a CRM Use the Apify API to fetch results programmatically and push them into your CRM, spreadsheet, or data warehouse after each run.

Filtering featured vs organic Use the isFeatured field on the business record to distinguish paid placements from organic listings — useful when studying ranking data or building fair comparison datasets.

❓ FAQ

Does this require a Clutch account or login? No. The Actor works entirely with publicly available data — no account needed.

Why am I getting HTTP 403 errors? Clutch uses Cloudflare bot protection. Enable Apify Residential Proxies in the configuration. This resolves the issue in almost all cases.

How many results can I get on the free tier? Free users are limited to 1 listing page per category and up to 50 reviews per business per run. Upgrade to a paid plan to remove these limits.

How long does a run take? A single listing page (~10 businesses) with 20 reviews each typically finishes in 5–10 minutes using residential proxies.

Can I scrape a specific country, city, or filter? Yes. Clutch's URL structure reflects all applied filters. Navigate to the filtered page on Clutch.co and copy that URL as your startUrl.

Can I scrape multiple categories at once? Yes. Add multiple URLs to startUrls and they will all be processed in the same run.

Is the data up to date? The Actor fetches live data from Clutch at the time of each run. Data is as current as the Clutch platform itself.
