Data Scraping & Competitive Intelligence for St. Louis Businesses
We collect publicly available information about your market, such as competitor prices, product lines, the stores that carry them, and business directories, and turn it into something you can act on: reports, dashboards, alerts, or data that flows straight into your systems.
You are making decisions on stale information.
Most small businesses learn about a competitor’s price change from a customer, usually after losing the sale. Keeping up by hand means someone opening the same websites every week, copying numbers into a spreadsheet, and giving up the moment things get busy. By the time the sheet is current, it is out of date again.
Lead lists have the same problem. Bought lists are often old, generic, and sold to everyone else in your industry. The information you need is usually public, but it is spread across hundreds of pages, and no one on your team has time to collect it.
We collect it, clean it, and put it where you can use it.
We build collectors that check public sources on a schedule: competitor websites, product pages, store locators, directories, and social profiles. Then we clean the results, remove duplicates, and match records so that one product or one business is one row, not five.
The goal is an answer to a business question, not a giant file. So we deliver it in the format you will actually use: a weekly report, a live dashboard, an alert when a price moves, or a feed straight into your CRM.
- Competitor websites

- Social media activity
- Retail locations carrying competitor products
- Business directories
- Market data
- Lead lists
How it works
- Define the question: We start with the decision you need to make, such as how to price or where to sell, and work back to the data that answers it.
- Check the sources: We review which public sources have that data, how often they change, and whether they can be collected responsibly.
- Build the pipeline: We set up the collection, clean the data, and test it against what you can see by hand, so you can trust the numbers.
- Deliver and maintain: Reports, dashboards or alerts start arriving on schedule. Websites change all the time, so we keep the collectors working.
Example use cases
Competitor price tracking
A retailer or distributor checks competitor prices daily or weekly and gets an alert when a key product changes, with the history to spot patterns.
Retail distribution mapping
A consumer brand sees which stores carry competing products in each region, which shows where to point its sales team.
Lead list building
A B2B company gets a list of businesses that fit its ideal customer, built from public directories and filtered by location or industry.
Market entry research
Before opening a location or launching a product, you see who already serves the area, what they offer, and what they charge.
Questions
What data can you collect?
Publicly available business information: competitor websites, products and pricing, social media activity, retail locations carrying competitor products, business directories, and market data for lead generation.
How is the data delivered?
However you will use it: a recurring report, a live dashboard, alerts when something changes, or an automated feed into your CRM or spreadsheet.
Can you track competitor prices over time?
Yes. We can check competitor prices on a schedule and alert you when they change, so you see every move without checking sites by hand.
Is web scraping legal?
Collecting publicly available information is common, but the rules depend on the site, the data, and how you use it. We stick to public pages, check each site’s robots.txt and terms, and do not get past logins or paywalls. If a project raises a legal question, we will say so, and you should check with your attorney.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the work. After a free discovery meeting we send a proposal with scope, timeline, and cost. The consultation and the quote are free, with no obligation.
Do you only work with St. Louis businesses?
We focus on businesses around St. Louis and St. Charles, and we also work remotely with businesses anywhere in the US.
