company search tools question

[David Schwartz 415]

I have a list of company names + phone# / city / state.

 

I want to find their main website URL and/or a google business page?

 

What tools are available to do this (without any programming needed)?

Why are you asking this question in a Delphi programming forum?

Because I don't now where else to post it, and I'm guessing there are folks here who might know. Maybe I put it into the wrong section here. If so, feel free to move it.

@David Schwartz I assume there are paid services out there that offer such data.

How many businesses are we talking about? If it is a limited number, it might be just as cheap to have someone google and register.

around 950 for the particular batch I'm looking at initially.

This is something that real people with a narrow expertise who can think and dive into their own memory banks can answer. Google sucks at it.

 

Unfortunately, StackOverflow has a policy where they don't allow questions like this that Google can't answer. They consider them "recommendations".

In theory, the AIs might be able to pull out such data.

As I said, I am using AI to pull out the company data, but ChatGPT4 can't access the internet directly.

 

Turns out that it's probably easier to just do it by hand in small batches.

MS Copilot might be able, but, yeah, elbow grease FTW.

If I open the list as a text file in Chrome or Opera, I can highlight the company name and it offers a popup to Search, Copy, and Share. I just click Search and it finds the website pretty quickly -- far faster than the Google SERP scraping tool I've got.
