DesignRush Scraper — Agencies, Services & B2B Leads (Emails, Phones & Reviews)

Extract complete agency data from the DesignRush directory — marketing, SEO, web design, web & app development, branding, PR, advertising and software agencies — with the fields other scrapers leave empty: direct contact email, phone, full address, hourly rate, minimum budget, team size, year founded, services, ratings and client reviews. Turn every agency into a ready-to-contact B2B lead with its profile email, phone, social links and — optionally — extra contacts crawled from the agency's own website.

No login, no cookies, no browser — fast HTML/JSON extraction with 99%+ reliability.

Why this DesignRush scraper?

Most agency scrapers only parse the listing cards and return null for the contact fields that actually matter. This actor also reads each agency's profile and ships the richest dataset in the category — including the direct email DesignRush publishes on the profile page:

• Partnerships & reseller recruiting — build a list of digital marketing, SEO, web dev or design agencies by service and country for referral, white-label or reseller programs.
• Competitive & market intelligence — analyze the agency landscape by service, hourly rate, team size, location and rating; benchmark pricing and positioning.
• Recruiting & M&A sourcing — find agencies by size (employeeRange), age (yearFounded) and specialty for talent or acquisition pipelines.
• Monitoring — schedule recurring runs to capture newly listed agencies in a category or country as they appear.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it daily/weekly to monitor new agencies in a category or country; perfect for lead pipelines.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/designrush-scraper').call({
    categories: ['digital-marketing', 'web-development-companies'],
    locations: ['United States'],
    maxResults: 200,
    includeProfileDetails: true,
    withEmailOnly: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} agency leads`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new agency leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored search finds new agencies.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find the top digital marketing agencies in the UK with their contact emails" and let it run this scraper for you.

Tips

• Go deep: DesignRush lists ~50 agencies per page and paginates hundreds of pages in big categories. Raise maxResults and maxResultsPerCategory, or split by country, to harvest a whole category.
• Clean outreach lists: combine withEmailOnly + minReviews to keep only established, contactable agencies.
• Recurring monitoring: turn on monitorMode and add a Schedule to capture only newly listed agencies each run.
• Cost control: turn off includeProfileDetails for fast, cheap listing-only runs (no email/phone), or keep it on (default) for full leads.

FAQ

How do I scrape a specific agency category? Put the category slug from the DesignRush URL into categories — e.g. digital-marketing, web-development-companies, search-engine-optimization. Add a country to locations to narrow by market.

Where do the emails come from? DesignRush publishes a direct contact email and phone on each agency's profile page — this actor reads them when includeProfileDetails is on. With enrichContactEmails you can also crawl the agency's own website for extra contacts.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

How do I monitor new agencies automatically? Turn on monitorMode and create a Schedule (e.g. weekly). The actor remembers what it has seen and emits only new agencies — does not conflict with scheduling.

Does it need an API key or browser? No. It uses fast HTTP requests against public pages — no API key, no login, no headless browser.

A field is null — why? Some agencies genuinely don't publish an hourly rate, minimum budget, website or reviews. Fields are null only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them.

Is scraping DesignRush legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and DesignRush's terms.
