Alignable Small Business Scraper — Business Directory & B2B Leads

Scrape small-business listings from Alignable, the largest US small-business networking platform with 11M+ members. Use it as a small business directory and B2B lead-generation source: pull leads by US city and export a contact list. Returns the named owner, business name, industry, city/state, recommendations count, logo, and profile URL — owner-level data for outreach to actual humans, not corporate switchboards.

Alignable Small Business Scraper Features

• Returns the owner's name on every record. That's the differentiator vs Yelp / BBB / Google Business, which list the business but hide the human.
• Reads each city's public Alignable directory and emits one record per listed business.
• Splits the listing into clean business name and industry, and the location into city and two-letter state code.
• Captures the recommendations count and profile logo straight from the directory card.
• Pure HTML scraping — no browser, no proxy, no CAPTCHA. Server-rendered Rails app.
• PPE pricing — $0.10 per run + $0.001 per record.

Who Uses This Small Business Directory Data?

• B2B SMB SaaS sellers — Reach the owner directly, not info@ inboxes that go nowhere.
• Local marketing agencies — Build prospect lists for cities you actually serve, with the owner's name attached to each lead.
• Payments and lending — Match Alignable's industry labels to your ICP, then score by the community recommendations count.
• Insurance and compliance — Find independent agents and small operators by category and city.
• Sales-intelligence platforms — Backfill owner names on existing SMB records, since most directories don't surface them.

How Alignable Small Business Scraper Works

1. Supply one or more US city slugs (e.g. austin-tx, denver-co).
2. The scraper fetches each city's public Alignable directory page.
3. Every business card on the page is parsed into a flat record — owner, business name, industry, city/state, recommendations count, logo, profile URL.
4. Records flow into the dataset as JSON. Configure maxItems to cap the run.

Input

{
"cities":["austin-tx","denver-co","raleigh-nc"],
"maxItems":100
}

To find a city slug, visit alignable.com/{your-city}-{state} in a browser (e.g. alignable.com/austin-tx) and copy the slug from the URL.

FAQ

How do I scrape Alignable?

Alignable Small Business Scraper handles it. Pass one or more US city slugs and the scraper reads each city's public directory and returns flat JSON — one record per listed business. No browser, no proxy.

How much does Alignable Small Business Scraper cost to run?

Alignable Small Business Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing — $0.10 per run plus $0.001 per record. A 1,000-record run costs about $1.10, which is less than what you'd pay for a coffee that comes with the WiFi password.

Why does the owner name matter so much?

Alignable is the only US small-business directory where every public listing centres on a named owner. Most lead-gen workflows hit a wall at "info@" — Alignable Small Business Scraper hands you the human's name on every record, so your outreach can start with one.

Does it include phone numbers and street addresses?

No. Those fields lived only on individual profile detail pages, and Alignable now blocks anonymous access to them. The public city directory — which this scraper reads — carries the owner name, business name, industry, city/state, recommendations count, and profile URL. We surface what's reliably public rather than returning fields that can't be fetched.

How do I get small business leads by city?

Pass US city slugs like austin-tx or denver-co. The scraper reads each city's directory and returns the listed businesses, so the output doubles as a small business contact list filtered by location. Each record carries the city and two-letter state code, so you can group or filter the dataset by state after the run.

Does Alignable Small Business Scraper need proxies?

No. The Alignable city directory is fully public, served over CloudFront with no Cloudflare challenge, and returns clean HTML to datacenter IPs at conservative concurrency. Plain HTTP, polite pacing.

Why Use Alignable Small Business Scraper?

• Owner-level data — Returns the named owner on every record, which is what most SMB directories make you guess at.
• Honest output — Returns null for fields a card doesn't carry. No hallucinated phone numbers, no scraped-and-prayed-over street addresses.
• Cheap — $0.001 per record. That's cents per hundred listings, which is roughly what they're worth before you do the work of using them.
