I need a freelancer to gather the contact details for businesses across Canada by scraping a number of websites. This will be a multi-stage project. You will find businesses’ contact details from five types of websites, with each type being a stage in this project: Stage #1: Municipality websites Stage #2: Chamber of Commerce websites Stage #3: Business Improvement Area (BIA) websites Stage #4: Niche business directories Stage #5: Business associations ** NOTE: This first project only concerns the first type of website: Municipality websites. Once this stage is completed, I will move on to the second stage (Chamber of Commerce websites) ** Here is exactly what you will do in this first stage, step-by-step: Stage #1: Municipality websites: a) You will scrape the website for every municipality (i.e. city) in Canada. I have a sheet that contains source websites for the ten provinces and three territories in Canada. Each source website contains links to the websites of municipalities in that province/territory. You will review those source websites and scrape all municipality websites from each source website. Here is the sheet with source websites for the ten provinces and three territories in Canada: [login to view URL] b) Check the municipality websites for the top 50 municipalities (by population) to see if each website has a business directory. c) If a municipality website does have a business directory, scrape/download the business directory for businesses’ contact details. As an example, the City of Mississauga in the province of Ontario has an online directory that lists 14,481 businesses in Mississauga, and allows users to download the list as an Excel file (I have already downloaded info for all of these businesses): [login to view URL] Note: some municipality websites don’t have business directories. That’s fine - I just want you to check the top 50 municipality websites and determine which ones do have business directories. So to summarize the work to be done in this first stage (Municipality websites), you will: (a) scrape the website for every municipality (i.e. city) in Canada; (b) check the municipality websites for the top 50 municipalities (by population) to see if each has a business directory; and (c) if a municipality website does have a business directory, scrape/download the business directory for businesses’ contact details.

Hey there! I'm Rabbia - a highly skilled data analyst and web scraper with significant experience in projects just like yours. As an expert in data entry, mining, and analysis, nobody understands the value of accurate information like I do. I have a keen eye for detail, and my ability to navigate complex datasets and identify unique sources will prove invaluable in digging out those municipality business directories you need. Moreover, I bring specialized skills in MS Excel that can be leveraged to streamline your project. From efficiently organizing scraped data to identifying patterns through advanced Excel functions, my expertise can ensure both accuracy and relevance to your contact information needs. And should any challenges arise along the way, my resourcefulness and critical thinking would be solid assets for finding swift solutions. What sets me further apart is my commitment to excellence. I don't consider a job done until it's done right and meeting all expectations. So if you entrust me with this milestone, I'll not only diligently scrape every single municipality website in Canada but also dive into the top 50 by population and determine if they have business directories. If they do, consider those directories scraped and filed too. In a project with such distinct phases like yours, ongoing clear communication is key - something I excel at as well!
