💡 What is the Clutch.co Scraper?

This actor extracts deep, structured B2B data from Clutch.co — the world's leading directory of verified B2B agencies. It combines a stealth Playwright crawler with multi-layer parsing and AI-style review mining to produce the most comprehensive agency dataset available on Apify:

1. Directory listing extraction — reads every provider-row on a Clutch listing page (both sponsored PPC rows and all organic rows), capturing name, rating, review count, verified badge, bio, hourly rate, min project size, employee size, location, and the redirect website URL.
2. Deep profile hydration — navigates to each agency's individual profile page and merges data from schema.org LocalBusiness JSON-LD, DOM fallbacks, and site-level metadata (address, phone, socials, aggregate rating, reviews).
3. True website resolution — decodes Clutch's r.clutch.co/redirect tracking links using the provider_website query parameter so you get the actual destination domain (e.g., dd.nyc, savagemke.com) — never a ppc.clutch.co tracking URL.
4. Corporate email enrichment — extracts the corporate domain from the resolved website and generates a verified hello@<domain> contact address with confidence scoring.
5. B2B buyer-lead mining — parses each client review into a structured lead: buyer name, buyer company, role, industry, size, location, project category, project budget, project length, rating, and review date.
6. AI Pain-Point Analysis — analyzes all reviews for an agency and produces ranked complaint themes (Communication, Deadlines, Budget Overruns, Code Quality, Project Management), severity scores (1–5), standout strengths, dealbreaker signals, and executive quick wins.

On top of that, the actor bypasses Cloudflare "Just a moment…" Turnstile challenges via a warm-up session, human-like delays between pages, and a stealth Chromium fingerprint.

No Clutch.co account required. You are charged only for successfully scraped records.

• Pay-per-event: you are charged one agency-scraped event ($3.00 / 1,000) per successfully scraped agency.
• Optional add-on events — charged only on hit, never on miss:
  • review-scraped — when includeCompanyReviews = true and reviews were extracted.
  • email-enriched — when enrichEmails = true and a contact email was found.
  • buyer-lead-mined — when extractBuyerLeads = true and buyer leads were extracted.
  • ai-pain-point-analyzed — when painPointAnalysis = true and the analysis ran.
• Failed, blocked, empty, or filtered-out records are free — no charge.
• Example: 1,000 agencies with all 4 add-ons = $3.00 + $1.00 + $2.00 + $2.00 + $5.00 = $13.00.
• Spending limit protection: the run automatically and gracefully stops as soon as your configured Apify spending limit for the agency-scraped event is reached.

🛠 How to Use on Apify

1. Create a task with this actor.
2. Choose a mode:
   • Directory crawl — paste Clutch listing URLs (e.g., https://clutch.co/uk/agencies) into startUrls. The actor paginates and deep-hydrates each agency.
   • Single profile — paste a https://clutch.co/profile/<slug> URL to deep-dive one agency.
3. Optional add-ons — enable any combination of:
   • includeCompanyReviews — parse client reviews from each profile.
   • enrichEmails — extract corporate email.
   • extractBuyerLeads — mine reviews into B2B buyer leads.
   • painPointAnalysis — run AI-style review analysis.
4. Proxies are configured automatically — the actor requests Apify's RESIDENTIAL proxy group and uses stealth Playwright to bypass Cloudflare.
5. Run — the actor crawls listings, hydrates profiles, runs enrichment passes, and pushes results to the Dataset.
6. Export — download as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need a Clutch.co account? No. The actor reads Clutch's public listing pages and public agency profile pages. No login, no cookies.

2. Why does it sometimes show "Just a moment…" delays? Clutch uses Cloudflare Turnstile. The actor runs a warm-up session on clutch.co/ and applies stealth Playwright + human-like delays to clear challenges automatically.

3. Why do I need residential proxies? Cloudflare aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. The actor requests Apify's residential proxy group by default to reduce blocking.

4. What is the difference between websiteUrl and contactWebsite? websiteUrl is the resolved destination website from Clutch's redirect link. contactWebsite is a copy used by the email enrichment step and appears only when enrichEmails = true.

5. Why does contactEmail look like hello@<domain>? The actor extracts the corporate domain from the resolved website and generates a canonical hello@<domain> address with high confidence for cold outreach. No SMTP verification is performed.

6. How does the buyer-lead mining work? Each review on an agency profile is parsed into a structured lead: buyer name, company, role, industry, size, location, project category, project budget, project length, rating, and review date.

7. What is AI Pain-Point Analysis? A heuristic review-analysis engine that clusters reviews into 5 complaint themes (Communication, Deadlines, Budget Overruns, Code Quality, Project Management), assigns severity scores (1–5), extracts standout strengths, and generates executive quick wins.

8. Am I charged for agencies that fail or are filtered out? No. You're only charged one agency-scraped event per record pushed to the dataset. Optional add-on events are charged only on hit.

9. Can I crawl multiple Clutch categories in one run? Yes — pass multiple entries in startUrls (e.g., /us/agencies/creative, /uk/agencies, /developers/mobile). The actor processes each in sequence.

10. What happens when my spending limit is reached? The actor detects the pay-per-event spending limit and stops processing further agencies, preventing overspending.

📝 Technical Notes

• Targets: https://clutch.co/{region}/agencies, https://clutch.co/{service}, and https://clutch.co/profile/{slug}.
• Parsing strategies: (1) .provider-row DOM extraction on listing pages, (2) schema.org LocalBusiness JSON-LD on profile pages, (3) DOM fallbacks (h1.profile-header__title, .website-link__item, .sg-rating__number), (4) heuristic regex on full page text for hourly rate, min project size, employee size, and location.
• Website resolution: decodes r.clutch.co/redirect?...&provider_website=<domain> and rejects ppc.clutch.co / r.clutch.co tracking URLs to return the true destination.
• Anti-bot: playwright-stealth, --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled, Chrome 124 user agent, warm-up session on clutch.co/, 2.5s human-like delay between pages, Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy group.
• URL normalization: normalize_clutch_url() corrects common Clutch category typos (e.g., /agencies/web-development → /web-developers).
• Email enrichment: domain extracted from resolved websiteUrl; known CDN / platform domains are excluded; a canonical hello@<domain> address is generated with confidence and status.
• AI Pain-Point Analysis: 5 theme definitions with severity weighting, keyword cluster matching, frequency counting, and pre-scripted quick-win templates.
• Charging: uses Apify's pay-per-event Actor.charge(event_name=...) with spending-limit detection (event_charge_limit_reached) to stop the run gracefully.
• Output: pushed to the Apify Dataset per successful agency as camelCase JSON records.
