USE CASE:

Telling whether a business publishes its prices, at volume

Everything below is about telling whether a business publishes its prices, at volume, and about which page discovery method holds up on a list rather than one record. Mamba Labs builds Apify actors, and Page Finder Extractor is the one here that does page discovery.

Where this starts

The question is usually simple. Does this company publish prices. Is there a way to book a demo. Where do they list the leadership. The answer is one page on each site, and there is no convention for where it lives, so the work is opening several hundred websites and clicking around each one.

Traditional Search Tools

  • Google with a site operator. Free and precise. Fine for twenty companies, and rate limited into uselessness past that.
  • Screaming Frog. Crawls a whole site and finds every page matching a pattern. Built for one site at a time rather than a list of hundreds.
  • Guessing the URL. Try slash pricing. It works surprisingly often and fails silently, which is the problem.
  • Search the site. A site search in Google with the term you want gets you there in one query per company. Reliable, and it is still one query per company.
