ProspectSafari reads each prospect's website for you, to fill in contacts, social pages, links and key words. Reading a website costs no credits.
When a website is read
- When a prospect is added: one added with "Single" at once, one added with the browser extension automatically, and prospects from an upload or a company search when "Scrape websites" is left ticked in the review step.
- Again once the last reading is about four months old.
- After an admin adds or changes a Keyword Listener, the websites are queued to be read again (with many prospects this takes a while).
A prospect without a website is not read. The prospect shows the date it was last read ("Scraped"). A website never read, or not ticked for reading, shows "Do it now": click it to read it now (the page reloads a few seconds later).
What is read
ProspectSafari reads the home page and the pages the home page links to on the same site (one level deep). It takes:
- Email addresses: each becomes a contact, up to 5 per prospect.
- Phone numbers from call links: each becomes an unnamed contact, up to 8 per prospect.
- Links to social and listing websites: they become buttons on the prospect, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or Trustpilot.
- The site's icon, its description and its name (description and name only when they are empty).
- Links: every link to another website. Back links: websites the app has read that link to this one.
- Key words you are looking for, set in Keyword Listeners.
Names of people are not taken from websites. Pages that need a real browser to show their text may give nothing.
Links, back links and key words
In the prospect view the "Links", "Back links" and "Key words" tabs show what was found:
Click on Links to show all links found
- "Links" lists every link found. Links matched by a Link Listener are listed first, coloured for primary and secondary listeners; links matched by a "Remove" listener are left out. A link listener can also copy the matching links into a custom field.
- "Back links" lists the websites that link to this one.
- "Key words" lists the key words found. Hover a word to see "Found on <page>"; click it to open that page.
Social and listing buttons
When a social or listing website page is found, its button appears in the prospect view. Click it to open the page in the side window to the left of ProspectSafari.
Listing Website icon is displayed if a relevant url has been found
Contacts found on the website
Each email address or phone number found becomes a new contact, with the icon "Website data mining": click it to open the page it was found on. Emails and phone numbers already on the prospect's contacts are not added again, and a contact or phone number you delete is not brought back by later readings.
You can merge two contacts with "Merge" in a contact's three-dot menu. Merging contact A into contact B keeps contact B's details.
