💡 Tips for best results

1. Start with deep dive enabled: It provides much richer data (VAT, managers, financials)
2. Use matching language and country: Search language: "fr" with country: "FR" for French companies on the French site
3. Try broad keywords first: "packaging" returns more results than "biodegradable food packaging containers"
4. Use the country filter: Europages returns companies from all countries by default — set country to focus on a specific market
5. Check the quality score: Higher data_quality_score means more complete profiles

❓ FAQ

How long does it take? With deep dive enabled, expect ~3-5 seconds per company. 100 companies typically complete in 4-5 minutes.

Why are some fields empty? Not all companies have complete profiles on Europages. The data_quality_score helps you identify the most complete records.

What's the difference between language and country? language sets which Europages site to search (e.g., europages.fr, europages.de). country filters results to only show companies headquartered in a specific country. You can search the French site but filter for German companies.

How does email extraction work? The scraper visits company websites (homepage, legal pages) to find contact emails. It also generates email patterns from manager names (e.g., firstname.lastname@company.com).

Can I filter by certification? Include certifications in your keyword (e.g., "ISO 9001 manufacturer") or filter results by the certifications field after extraction.

What countries are supported? All 28+ Europages website domains (via language) and 50+ country filters including all EU members, UK, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and major world economies.
