Email gets most of the attention in contact enrichment, but phone numbers and official social links are often easier to verify. A link from the company's own footer is better evidence than a social-search result with a similar brand name.

The Website Contact Scraper collects these links and phone strings while it checks public contact-bearing pages.

Crawl representative domains

{
  "domains": ["canva.com", "atlassian.com", "twilio.com"],
  "maxPagesPerDomain": 10,
  "useBrowser": false
}

Inspect the raw output before writing normalization rules. Sites format telephone numbers for local audiences, and the same company may publish sales numbers for several countries.

Normalize without deleting evidence

Keep the raw phone string, referring page, and any normalized value. E.164 formatting needs country context; do not invent a country code when the page does not provide one.

For social profiles, remove tracking parameters and normalize hostnames, but retain the original link. Group results by platform only after checking the destination domain. A link to a sharing endpoint is not the company's profile.

Choose fields by use case

Sales routing may prefer a regional telephone number. Brand monitoring needs official LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, or X profiles. Vendor operations may care most about the registered-office address and a support contact.

One scraper run can serve all three teams, but each team should consume only the fields that match its purpose. That keeps a support line from becoming a sales number and avoids treating every social profile as an outreach channel.

Use the Website Contact Scraper actor page to inspect source URLs and coverage on domains from your own market.

Frequently asked questions

Does the actor return more than email addresses?

Yes. It returns phone numbers, social profile links, postal addresses, emails, and crawl metadata when those values are publicly available.

How should phone numbers be normalized?

Preserve the raw text and add an E.164-normalized value only when you have enough country context to do so safely.

How do I identify an official social profile?

A profile linked by the company's own website is stronger evidence than a name-only social search. Keep the referring page as provenance.
