BBB Business Leads: Phones, Ratings & Accreditation

Local business leads from the Better Business Bureau directory. Give it business types (roofing, plumber, dentist, HVAC, auto repair...) and cities or ZIP codes across the US and Canada, and get one row per business:

• Contact: business name, phone numbers, street address, city, state, ZIP, coordinates
• Trust signals: BBB rating (A+ to F), rating score, BBB accredited status
• What they do: main category, all BBB categories, service areas
• Links: BBB profile and request-a-quote page

Filter to accredited or A-rated businesses to get the established, reputable ones first. For local lead generation, home-services marketing, B2B sales and agencies building prospect lists.

No account, no key, no proxy.

Uses

• Home-services lead lists: roofers, plumbers, HVAC, electricians and contractors by city, with phone and rating
• Agencies: prospect accredited local businesses that already invest in their reputation
• Market sizing: how many rated businesses work a category in each metro
• Pair it with Google Maps Scraper for websites and reviews, and Website Contact Scraper for emails

Pricing

• $0.002 per business
• No start fee. A run that finds nothing is free.

500 businesses cost $1.00.

Notes

• BBB returns up to 225 businesses (15 pages) per search term and location. Add more cities or ZIP codes for wider coverage; duplicates across searches are dropped.
• Results come from BBB's directory search, so there are no emails or websites. BBB profile pages are linked in bbbProfileUrl.
• BBB search also returns neighbouring trades (a roofing search brings some general contractors). Turn on strictMatch to keep only businesses whose name or categories contain the term.
• Businesses BBB marks as out of business are left out.
