USE CASE:

Ecommerce brands: the honest take on firmographic data

Everything below is about one job: firmographic data for ecommerce brands, done in a way that survives a list rather than a single lookup. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Prospect Engine is the one that does this for ecommerce brands.

The situation

Ecommerce brands frustrate firmographic data, for a reason specific to them. Ecommerce brands live and die on platform choice, and the platform is visible in the page source, which shapes firmographic data. Know this about ecommerce brands before any firmographic data: a headless build hides the platform completely, and headless correlates with the biggest merchants. We keep 2 preconfigured tasks for firmographic data on ecommerce brands, across 2 tools.

Traditional Search Tools

  • Wappalyzer, for ecommerce brands. Free as an extension, cheap as an API, and it will still miss the headless ones.
  • Clearbit, now part of HubSpot Breeze. The default answer for years and still good. It is bundled into HubSpot pricing now, which is either free or expensive depending on what you already pay.
  • Your CRM's own enrichment. HubSpot and Salesforce both fill firmographics automatically. Coverage is decent for US companies and thins out quickly elsewhere.
  • Doing nothing. A real option for fields nobody reads. Refreshing data that drives no decision is a cost with no return.
  • Spot check and fix. Pull the hundred accounts that matter, open each site, correct the fields. A day of work, accurate for about a quarter.
