👥Where to get a contact database?

In this article we have collected services for selecting a target audience database. Such a database can be used with AI managers.

All services mentioned in the article use the parsing method — automated collection and structuring of information from websites, maps, communities and comments.

In this case contact details of people who match the profile of your target audience are collected. All information is taken from open sources.

Collecting an audience database from Telegram

Telegram is popular and therefore convenient for collecting information about the target audience — many topic-specific chats and channels will help find your clients among users. Profile information that users provide themselves can also assist in searches.

Parsing channels or chats

For collecting user data we recommend the Telegram bot Parser PRO. It collects data from public and private chats, comments in channels. With its help you can also collect user data by geolocation within a radius of up to 15 km.

To find thematic chats use the service tg-cat.

Parsing users by keywords in profile

Collect a list of keywords — for example: "director", "CEO", "owner"

Converting phone numbers to Telegram usernames

Telegram bot SendRock will help convert phone numbers into Telegram usernames.

You can also turn to freelancers for this purpose on Kwork.

Collecting an audience database in other services

Parsing users and communities on VKontakte

We recommend the service Targethunter — it collects communities by keywords, filters them by the ability to send messages to administrators. This is very important for B2B sales because through community administrators you can obtain contacts of decision-makers.

Using this service you can also collect a user database by specific filters: age, city, workplace, subscriptions to communities. Just don't forget the filter for the ability to message the user.

You can get a free test and one month as a gift when purchasing a three-month subscription using the promo code.

Promo code for our clients: selarti.

Parsing companies from Yandex Maps and 2GIS

To collect a company database you can use several solutions.

Yandex Maps parser collects data in an Excel-table format, where all important data are indicated: company email, website, director's name, legal entity name and many others. There is an option to do a test export.

To export data from 2GIS there are two options:

• A program from Parselab, purchased once and can be used without limits. Collects a database in an Excel-table format with all open company data — phone numbers, websites, emails and others.

• Service from Parseronline. Payment per each export, collects the database in an Excel-table format like the previous services. Suitable for one-time use — if you plan to periodically update your database it will not be very cost-effective.

After receiving the company database, you will be able to launch mailings in Telegram, WhatsApp or VKontakte communities.

Identifying visitors of your website

Using the service DMP.ONE all visitors of your website will be automatically identified and added to the target audience database. We explain more about setting up integration with DMP.ONE in the article.

Identifying other people's clients

Add to the service DMP.ONE links to your competitors' websites, phone numbers of their sales department, alpha-names. With the help of this service you will collect a database of your competitors' clients as soon as the next day.

To set up automatic transfer of contacts to the Selarti service, study the instructions.

Telegram bot SendRock allows you to quickly convert phone numbers into Telegram usernames.

Company database from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (EGRUL)
