Multi-Channel Scraping & Data Merging
Single-channel scraping frequently leaves gaps in your prospect data. A business on Google Maps might have a physical phone number but no direct decision-maker email, while their Facebook or LinkedIn page has active contacts but lacks a verified street address.
Multi-Channel Scraping in DataMint enables you to extract, link, and deduplicate records across multiple platforms, creating complete 360° lead profiles ready for cold outbound campaigns.

Website Scan (Verified Email & Technologies)
- Primary Pass (Maps or Directory): Start by scraping a geographical territory on Google Maps or a directory to establish the master company record (Name, Phone, Address, Website).
- Secondary Pass (Social Network Scrape): Use the Social Media Scraper on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn for the same company or niche to locate active profile handles and owner identities.
- Automated Matching Engine: DataMint correlates records using Primary Domain and Normalized Phone Numbers as anchor keys.
- Data Merge: Duplicate rows are collapsed, and missing fields from Channel B are merged into Channel A without overwriting existing verified data.
Data Merging Rules & Priority Hierarchy
When two channels provide conflicting information, DataMint adheres to the following verification hierarchy:
| Field | Source Priority (High to Low) | Resolution Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Business Name | Google Maps > Official Website > Social Profile | Retains official legal trade name |
| Phone Number | Google Maps > Directory > Social Header | Formats to international E.164 standard |
| Email Address | Reoon-Verified Domain Email > Social Bio | Excludes generic role inboxes (info@) when personal email exists |
| Owner Name | Social Profile / LinkedIn > Website Contact Page | Extracts First Name & Last Name |
| Social Handles | Direct Social Scrape > Website Footer Scrape | Validates active URL response |
