Introduction

Are you looking for business contacts for a specific industry, to whom you will target your marketing activities?

QLeadsGen is an email finder tool and business leads generation software, scraping web sites and extracting publicly available, published business information, such as e-mails, phones, URLs, names, organizations, locations and addresses, according to provided search criteria or by specifying list of web-sites to be scraped.
Once business data is extracted, QLeadsGen software is able to match e-mails with corresponding entities, providing you final consolidated list of e-mails contacts with additional information on corresponding names, organizations, locations, web-sites and phones.
In past we have been using classical search engines (such as Google, Bing, Yahoo), but recently we have switched to artificial intelligence search engine, which understands human language and context, allowing you to define precise search query for targeted industry domain and geographical location. This was a huge improvement in getting high quality search results for B2B, publicly available contact data.
We have also introduced additional support for utilizing Rocketreach platform. By utilizing Rocketreach API, you wil get additional, high-quality individual personal lookup contact details. For this feature, however, you need to purchase appropriate API key from Rocketreach: https://rocketreach.co/pricing

How it works

QLeadsGen is scraping targeted web sites, according to search phrase or according to specific list of URLs provided by user.
If using search engine, QLeadsgen software will provide you extracted information from artificial intelligence (AI) provided response, but will also additionally inspect AI provided web links and scrape them directly, searching for additional contacts.
If using additional option of Rocketreach API, then the software will provide additional individual personal contacts (employees), otherwise not retrievable by publicly available sources.
The overall final curated list thus contains combination of contact data extracted from:

- artificial intelligence (AI) search engine response

- scraped web sites

- Rocketreach API (if used)

While crawling a web site, the software is extracting e-mails, phones, web URLs, names, organizations, locations and addresses. We want to emphasize that our scraping software is only crawling what is already publicly presented by web site owner, thus doing what you would do manually, but much faster of course.

Emails, phones, web addresses and physical addresses are recognized by certain patterns. Entities such as organizations, names and locations are recognized by advanced NER (Named Entity Recognition), i.e. NLP (Natrual Language Processing) algorithms.

In next step, our set of algorithms are matching list of e-mails with other corresponding data, thus providing final matched spreadsheet containing e-mails matched with names, organizations, locations, addresses, phones and web-site URLs.

QLeadsGen provide option of validating e-mails. Phones are also validated.

When web scraping and data matching is finished, results are zipped and mailed to your e-mail address.

Besides final consolidated matched business leads list, you also get separate documents containing raw data mining results.

If you have purchased the license and want to copy/paste it here, you need to synchronize QLeadsGen remote desktop clipboard with you desktop. Use corresponding Myrtille dashboart "Clipboard" option.

Now you can use standard CTRL+V to copy the text into the QLeadsGen application.

Define URLs to be scraped

Enter a Phrase for Search engine

QLeadsGen is utilizing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) search engine, capable of understanding human language with all context and meaning.
Construct your search criteria by using precise and comprehensive English language, having in mind that response text provided by AI should contain all data later be extracted by QleadsGen: emails, phones, company/organization names, web site links (URLs) etc.

Use this search query as an example how to properly construct a precise query instruction:
"

Provide comprehensive list of all companies providing track & trace, serialization, aggregation, counterfeit protection, marking, or industrial vision inspection solutions for the pharmaceutical industry, including any major and minor players in this sector. The list should include contact details (email, phone, location, address) and URL containing contact details. Additionally provide email contacts of all employees working for these companies.

"

Notice that you have available button "Preview Search Results" to test / preview search engine results, thus providing you possibility to fine-tune search query before commencing scraping process. Example of preview:

Enter list of URLs

If you already have specified list of web-sites to be scraped, you can enter in two ways.

Enter list of URLs manually

You can manually enter list of URLs to be crawled, line by line.

If you are using copy/paste, don't forget that you need to use Myrtille dashboard option "Clipboard" to synchronize the clipboard first.

Copy/paste comma-separated list of URLs

Instead of entering manually list of URLs, line by line, you can alternatively copy/paste list of URLs separated by comma.

Enter Single URL

If you wish to scrape only single specific web-site, enter it iin the Single URL tab.

Maximum number of URLs

You can enter maximum number of web-site URLs to be scraped in the session. Note gowever that in the free version you are limited to 100 URLs only, so if you enter number greater than 100, it will be ignored.

Deep Crawling (Premium Feature)

In paid version you have option to crawl (i.e. scrape) not only specified web addresses, but also all web pages belonging to the same web site. If you haven't provided license key, this option will be ignored.

If you use deep crawling, be aware that it will tremendously slow-down scraping process, especially if target web sites have many web pages.

As a sub-option, you can choose whether root URL or partial URL (URL provided by user input)  is considered as base URL for which all sub-pages will be crawled. By default it is the root URL to be considered as the base URL, meaning that all web pages belonging to the domain will be scraped.

Validation of E-mails

You can choose whether you wish to validate scraped e-mails or not. If you choose validating e-mails, this will slow-down the scraping process.

Using Advanced NER i.e. NLP algorithms

By default, only fast NER (Named Entity Recognition) i.e. NLP (Natural Language Processing) algorithms are enabled.

You can additionally switch-on slow and resource-extensive algorithms, which will increse quality of data extraction (names, organization / company names, locations), but with expense of much longer runtime.

These additional algorithms will increase quality of entity extraction and data matching, however bare in mind that scraping process will be much, much slower.

Using Deep Search option (Premium Feature)

In paid option you can switch-on "Deep Search" optipn

Application Limitations

Myrtille related limitations in user interface

The QLeadsGen software is a desktop software being exposed to web browser via Myrtille (https://github.com/cedrozor/myrtille) service. Although it appears as being a web application, it is actually not, but rather a desktop application in a remote desktop session, being exposed as web application. Although being a convenient solution to publish desktop app to web, there are small limitations in user interface, such as need to "synchronize" your desktop clipboard with the application clipboard if you are going to copy/paste something into application. For example, copy/pasting your purchase license or copy/pasting list of URLs to be scraped.

in such situations, for copy/pasting, you will need to use Myrtille dashboard placed in the header of application screen in your web-broser. You will notice the option "Clipboard", to be used for clipboards sync.

Now you can use standard CTRL+V to copy the text into the QLeadsGen application.

Limitations in entity recognition and data matching

We put a lot of attention to utilize best available technologies for entity recognition and data matching, but keep in mind that no such technology can provide 100% accurate results. It is always human being who needs to evaluate and cleanse data mining results at the end.

Regarding entity recognition technologies, we use two sets of algorithm. One is fast and provide reasonably good results. Another one consists of slow and resource hungry algorithms that can provide better results, but with price on downgrading speed of the process. This advanced set of additional algorithms is reserved for licensed users only and is not available in free version.

Session Timeouts

As already explained, QLeadsGen is a remote desktop application, appearing to be a web application, available through web browser. This is possible thanks to Myrtille service (https://github.com/cedrozor/myrtille), which is making possible to access remote desktops, applications and SSH servers through a web browser. QLeadsGen remote desktop application has timeout set for idle sessions to 2 hours. If application session is idle for 2 hours, it will be terminated. By idle time it is meant no user interaction through user interface, even if a scrapping job is running in background. This means that you will need to keep alive your session during long-running scraping processes, by clicking periodically onto the application screen, dragging around console (terminal) window etc. Such user actions will confirm that you are still actively monitoring the scraping process and will restart idle timeout countdown.

Deduplicate Leads List

When scraping business leads by using QLeadsGen lead generation software, you might get multiple duplicate rows for same email contact. That's because QLeadsGen software is scraping contacts from multiple sources, such as response from artificial intelligence search engine, as well as multiple web pages. This results in multiple records for same email contact.

Fortunately, it is very simple to perform deduplication by using free QDeFuZZiner Lite software. Best of all, once defined and saved, deduplication project can be reused for fresh lead lists. All you need to do is to reimport new fresh datasets. Of course, don't forget to add "ID" column into dataset first.
