Why Use Radius Scraping?
Radius scraping is one of the fastest ways to collect highly targeted local business data. Instead of scraping entire cities or wide areas, you define a precise radius (for example, 10 km around downtown NYC) — and instantly collect businesses only within that zone.
This approach works great when you want geo-focused results:
- For hyperlocal marketing
- For franchise territory planning
- For building B2B lists around trade shows or venues
- For mapping nearby competition
- For targeting delivery zones
How It Differs From “Area” and “Location” Scraping
| Feature | Radius Scraping | Area Scraping (Polygon) | Location Search |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geo precision | - High (exact km radius) | - High (custom shape) | Medium (by city/state) |
| Use cases | Targeting area around a point | Big regions, cross-border | Broad city/state results |
| Speed | Fast | Medium | Fast |
| Complexity | Simple | More advanced | Very simple |
In short:
If you need exact distance-based targeting, use Radius Scraping.
If you want to draw a custom region, use Area (Polygon).
If you just want “New York, cafes” — use Location.
How It Works
