Who it’s for
Owners and editors of directories, guides and aggregators: restaurants, cafés, hotels, travel, local services. The value of such a product is a complete and current list of venues.
The job
“I need to fill the directory with every venue in the city quickly, and then add new ones and remove closed ones — without collecting everything again by hand.”
Ready-made venue databases are a snapshot of the day you buy them; within months they are out of date. Keeping a directory current by hand is a never-ending chore.
When you need it
- Launching a directory or a new section — a city or a category.
- Regular database updates.
- Expanding to a new region or niche.
How to do it
- Collect venues — open the map, pick a category and a city. CrawlRover collects name, address, phone, website, category, rating and opening hours from Apple Maps, 2GIS and other maps.
- Save the collection settings and repeat the run whenever the list needs refreshing — with one button.
- Watch for changes — new and closed venues show up in the history (Monitoring plan).
- Export to Google Sheets, Excel, CSV or JSON — ready to import into your directory.
What you get
A full list of venues in a category and city, and a way to keep it fresh: repeat runs with the same settings and alerts about new and closed venues.
Why CrawlRover, not a ready-made database
- Current data. A database is a snapshot; here you refresh the directory yourself and see what opened or closed.
- Several maps — one map never lists every venue.
- Any export format — ready for import into your system.
Good to know
CrawlRover collects public data shown on the map. Which maps are available depends on your browser.
