Mining + scraping · Alpharetta, GA
Data mining and web scraping for Alpharetta owners
Alpharetta businesses sit in a mix of downtown storefronts, mixed-use developments and office parks. We gather your sales, orders and leads into one table with a source on every row, then collect public prices and review counts when you want an outside check.
Mining Alpharetta's mixed-use and downtown locations
Avalon is an eighty-six acre mixed-use development, and downtown holds more than six hundred businesses. An owner could have a shop in each, or a shop and a delivery service. Each runs its own register and online ordering page.
We stack the exports, add a location column and keep the original dates. You compare the two by filtering one sheet.
Many owners here added online ordering recently, and the older register data uses different item names from the new web shop. We match item names across both so you can compare like with like.
Scraping the public pages of nearby competitors
Where hundreds of businesses sit close together, customers choose by price and reviews. A small script notes the listed prices, ratings and review counts of the businesses you name, and the day we looked.
We use public pages, within each site's terms, and nothing behind a login.
Review counts tend to be high in a dense market, so a business with a modest count looks small by comparison. Seeing your count beside theirs, with the date, tells you how much visibility to build.
Tax certificates, farmers market and event weekends
Every business here needs a current Occupational Tax Certificate from its first day, so many owners already keep a paper trail. The market runs weekly from April to October, and Taste of Alpharetta falls in May.
Dated rows let you see what each event did for sales and bring the paper trail into the same table.
Brew Moon Fest and the songwriters festival in October fill the downtown. A seller can add those weekends to the same event column and see whether autumn matches spring.
Builders and consultants working from home offices
Not every owner here has a storefront. Many are remodelers or consultants whose invoices, estimates and email threads live in separate places.
Mining combines them, so you can see which type of job pays best and where referrals come from.
A short table of jobs, quotes and payments also helps at tax time, since the certificate and your records line up in one place.
Questions from Alpharetta owners
I work from a home office. Can you still help?
Yes. Invoices, estimates and email leads are plenty to build a table from.
What happens to the data after you combine it?
You get the table. Next comes cleaning, which merges duplicates, and then analysis if you want your questions answered with math shown.
How often does the public data update?
We agree a schedule with you, and each row carries the date we collected it.
