Clutch Agency Scraper — B2B Digital Agency Leads with Verified Emails

Scrape any Clutch.co agency directory page and get a clean, enriched lead list — including verified contact emails — ready for CRM import or cold outreach. This Clutch.co scraper extracts agency name, Clutch rating, review count, hourly rate, employee count, location, service focus, website, and primary contact emails in one automated pipeline.

---

What It Does

Point the actor at any Clutch.co category URL — digital marketing agencies, web developers, SEO firms, IT services companies, PR agencies — and it returns a structured list of every agency on those pages. With email enrichment enabled (the default), it also visits each agency's own website, finds contact emails, and runs DNS MX + SMTP verification to confirm deliverability before they hit your dataset.

The full pipeline:

1. Crawls the Clutch.co category page and follows pagination through all results
2. Extracts profile data for each agency (rating, reviews, hourly rate, employees, location, service focus)
3. Visits the agency's website and crawls contact pages (homepage, /contact, /about, /contact-us, /about-us) for emails
4. Verifies each email via DNS MX lookup and SMTP handshake — with catch-all server detection
5. Exports a clean, CRM-ready dataset in Full, HubSpot, or Salesforce format

How It Differs from Other Clutch.co Scrapers

Most Clutch scrapers stop at the directory listing: you get an agency name and a website, and you're on your own for contacts. This actor goes further:

• Built-in email enrichment — crawls each agency's own website to find real contact addresses
• DNS + SMTP verification — filters dead addresses, catch-all traps, and typos before they reach your list
• Catch-all detection — probes servers that accept any address to flag unreliable results separately
• CRM-ready output — export in Full, HubSpot, or Salesforce format without reformatting

Use Cases

SaaS companies selling to agencies. If your product targets digital agencies — project management, client reporting, white-label software, rank tracking, or analytics — Clutch is one of the best-curated directories of your exact buyers. Filter by service focus, employee size, or hourly rate tier and reach decision-makers directly with a verified email already in hand.

White-label service providers. Agencies on Clutch actively take on client work and often subcontract SEO, PPC, development, or content production. Use this actor to build a pipeline of potential reseller or white-label partners, segmented by size and service focus.

Agency partnership outreach. Find complementary agencies for co-marketing, referral arrangements, or strategic partnerships. Filter by service category to target agencies whose clients overlap with yours.

B2B lead generation and cold email. Build targeted lists of digital agency contacts for cold email, LinkedIn outreach, or account-based marketing. The verified email field means you can start sending without an additional enrichment step.

Market research. Analyze the competitive landscape in a service category — average hourly rates, review distributions, geographic concentration, minimum project sizes, and service focus breakdowns.

Agency directories and aggregators. Pull structured Clutch data across multiple categories to build or refresh your own agency finder.

Pricing

This actor runs on a Pay-Per-Event model. You are charged per agency record returned, not per run. A typical run of 100 agencies with full email enrichment and verification costs less than $1.

Check the Pricing tab on the Apify Store listing for the current per-record rate.

FAQ

How many agencies can I scrape? Up to 5,000 per run using the maxResults input. For larger datasets, pass multiple category URLs or run multiple times against filtered Clutch search pages.

Does this include email addresses? Yes — with enrichEmails enabled (the default), the actor visits each agency's website to find contact emails and optionally verifies them via DNS MX and SMTP handshake. Agencies that use contact forms, obfuscated addresses, or fully JavaScript-rendered pages may return an empty email field.

What does emailStatus: catch_all mean? Some mail servers accept any recipient address without checking whether the mailbox actually exists. The actor detects these servers by probing a random address — if the server accepts that too, the result is flagged as catch_all. The email format is valid but deliverability is unconfirmed.

Can I filter by service type, location, or budget? Yes — filtering happens at the URL level. Use Clutch.co's own category, location, and budget filters in your browser, then paste the resulting URL into categoryUrls. The actor preserves all query parameters.

Can I export directly to HubSpot or Salesforce? Set outputFormat to hubspot or salesforce and the output columns will match those CRM import formats for direct upload without reformatting.

How often is the data updated? The actor scrapes Clutch.co live at the time of each run, reflecting whatever is currently published. Scheduling the actor weekly or monthly is a good way to keep your list fresh as new agencies join Clutch and existing ones update their profiles.

Is this compliant with Clutch.co's terms of service? This actor scrapes publicly visible listing data — the same information visible to any visitor without logging in. It is your responsibility to review Clutch.co's terms and ensure your intended use case is permitted. The actor does not bypass authentication or access any private or gated content.

Limitations

• Clutch.co layout changes — Clutch periodically updates its page structure. If the site redesigns its listing or profile pages, selectors may need updating. Open an issue or contact support if you see empty results.
• Email enrichment coverage — agencies that use contact forms, obfuscated addresses, or JavaScript-only rendered emails will return an empty email field. Enrichment success rates vary by site.
• SMTP blocking on cloud — cloud infrastructure commonly blocks outbound port 25. When SMTP is unreachable, the actor falls back to DNS MX verification and marks the email as dns_verified.
• Data freshness — data reflects Clutch at the moment of the run. Agency details can lag if Clutch itself hasn't updated a profile recently.
