Parsing phone numbers

The marketing and sales industry must constantly keep the customer database up to date. In order to organize cold sales – that is, those in which a person is not ready to receive an offer – it is required to collect a large database of phone numbers. The phone numbers of potential customers can be posted on a variety of resources, they can be collected in the public domain. It is possible to do this in manual mode, but such a procedure will require a significant amount of time, which will be spent on visiting a large number of sites and collecting data from them.

The solution to the problem of collecting the relevant database of phone numbers is provided by phone parsing – the process of automated collection of phone numbers from sites with their subsequent processing and saving in a convenient format. For the automated collection of numbers, a special program is used – this is a parser that “reads” the pages of the site one by one in HTML format and collects all data similar to telephone addresses in the format of the record or wrapped in the appropriate HTML tags. The collected phone numbers, along with links to the ad pages from which they were collected, are automatically entered into an Excel spreadsheet.

Thus, the parser of phones from sites allows you to collect thousands of numbers in a matter of minutes. Whereas the manual collection of such a base would require more than one day of painstaking monotonous work. In addition, the database collected with the help of the parser is easy to maintain and update automatically, configuring the collection of numbers only from those sources in which they were updated since the last parsing. Such a parser of phone numbers can be used to collect information from free ad sites of any format and purpose. For example, if you are a real estate agent or realtor, you can collect phone numbers of sellers of apartments and houses, call them and act as an intermediary between them and the buyers who contact you. The same applies to cars, consumer goods, services, etc.

Marketing and advertising agencies are looking for clients to whom they can offer their promotion services, financial institutions collect a database of numbers of potential clients – consumers of lending and depositing services. Collected phone numbers can be processed directly in your site’s CRM, where they are imported in CSV format. Thus, you can easily set up automatic dialing using recorded messages and feedback by pressing the number buttons on the phone keypad. In order to avoid attempts to automatically dial landline numbers, it is possible to automatically separate collected numbers into mobile and landline numbers during parsing by analyzing the digital prefix. Also, the parser of phone numbers can be used to automate text messaging in messengers WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram and others.
