Find contact details for a list of company websites

Say a colleague drops a spreadsheet on you: 300 companies you’re supposed to reach out to before the end of the week, one column of website URLs, and nothing else. Every one of those companies almost certainly publishes a way to reach it on its own site — an email, a phone number, a row of social icons, a street address — on a contact page, an about page, a team page. But a URL isn’t something you can send to or call, and 300 sites is not something you can open by hand between now and Friday.

The manual way, and what it costs

The free path is real: open a site, click into its menu looking for “Contact” or “About,” read off whatever’s there, paste it next to the URL, and move to the next one. For five companies, that’s ten minutes and you should just do it — no tool is worth setting up for five rows.

The cost is linear and it’s brutal at 300. Each site is a small hunt — the email might be on the contact page, or the footer, or a team page, or written as info [at] company [dot] com to dodge scrapers; the phone is in a header on one site and an image on another; the socials are icons you have to hover to read. A good chunk of the list won’t have some of it at all, so you spend the same effort per site to conclude “nothing here.” Half a day of clicking, a spreadsheet you don’t fully trust, and no way to tell the ones you missed from the ones that genuinely had nothing.

The faster way

Business Email, Phone & Contact Details Scraper takes the whole list and returns one clean row per URL.

{
  "urls": ["https://basecamp.com", "https://www.zapier.com", "https://www.notion.so"],
  "maxPagesPerSite": 6
}

Drop your URLs into urls (or wire the whole spreadsheet in through startUrls, which takes a linked dataset or Google Sheet, so you don’t paste 300 lines by hand). For each site the actor reads the homepage and up to maxPagesPerSite of its contact/about/team pages — the default 6 is the right starting point, and raising it is what you do if too many rows come back empty.

Field	Example value	Meaning
website	https://acme-consulting.com	The site crawled (after redirects)
emails	[{email, type, confidence}]	Every address found, cleaned and classified
phones	["+1 (415) 555-0100"]	Phone numbers found (tel: links + visible text)
socials	[{platform, url}]	Social-profile links found on the site
address	123 Main St, Concord, CA, 94520	Best-effort postal address, when published
email_domain_matches_website	true	false = a franchise/corporate email, not this site’s business
status	found	found / no_email / unreachable / corporate_site
source_url	https://acme-consulting.com	The input website

emails is the column that turns the URL list into an outreach list, and it’s already been de-junked — template placeholders and tracking noise are stripped, addresses are de-obfuscated, and each is tagged personal, role or generic so you can send to jane@ rather than info@ where you have the choice. phones and socials give you the other channels — a number to call and the profiles to follow or DM — and address gives you a mailing/location field when the site publishes one. And email_domain_matches_website: false flags the franchise trap — an email on a different domain than the site is corporate, not the local business.

What you’d do with it

Export to CSV and you have your outreach list keyed back to the original URLs — import straight into the CRM or mail-merge. Sort emails by type to lead with personal addresses, use phones for the call list and socials for the follow/DM pass, and keep the rows with neither email nor phone as a “no public contact” bucket rather than a to-do. The Friday deadline is a run that finishes while you get coffee.

Worth knowing

This finds details a business has actually published on its own public pages — it does not guess or brute-force, and it does not verify that an email delivers, so treat the output as “details this company put on the web,” not a validated list. Emails and social links are the most reliable; phone covers tel: links and standard visible formats; the postal address is best-effort, populated when the site publishes it as JSON-LD, an address tag, or a recognizable US street address. It also deliberately doesn’t crawl Facebook and Instagram themselves — those wall their content behind login and JavaScript challenges — though it returns the social-profile links a site puts on its own pages.
