The Ultimate Business Data Automation Tool
Do you power your business directory with WordPress and the Voxel Theme? Stop the tedious manual work of adding and updating business information! Introducing the Voxel Business Scraper Suite, the most intelligent and feature-rich solution for automating your directory content creation and maintenance.
Effortlessly build comprehensive business pages, enrich Google Maps data with the power of AI, and seamlessly integrate everything into your Voxel Custom Post Types (CPTs). Simply map your desired fields, let advanced AI algorithms handle the heavy lifting, and watch your directory flourish with rich, engaging content!
🚀 Experience Unparalleled Automation & Intelligence:
✅ Advanced Google Maps Data Scraping & Enrichment: Extract crucial business details like name, address, website, phone numbers, working hours, categories, and precise location. Go beyond the basics with email validation and social media link retrieval (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Snapchat, Medium, Reddit, Vimeo, Github, Whatsapp, Telegram, Skype). Even capture average customer spend time, menu links, order links, company start date, employee count, street view links, reviews per score, amenities, price range, owner, team member emails, and unique identifiers (Google ID, Place ID).
✅ Flexible Scraping Options: Target a specific business, or perform powerful batch scraping by category, location, and custom radius. Now, you can even find businesses within the same building for hyper-local directories!
✅ Intelligent Batch Updates: Effortlessly update existing post fields in bulk. Choose to overwrite all data or selectively update only empty fields. You maintain complete control over which fields are modified.
✅ AI-Driven Content Generation: Leverage the power of AI to create unique and compelling business descriptions, making your directory more valuable and engaging. Choose between using the often limited Google Maps descriptions or generating richer content with AI.
✅ Smart AI Term Matching: Intelligently map imported categories from Outscraper to your existing taxonomy terms. Our AI-powered system minimizes the creation of unnecessary new categories, ensuring a clean and organized taxonomy.
✅ Choice of Powerful AI APIs: Bring your own API key and select between leading AI models from OpenAI (GPT series) or Perplexity (including web-searching capabilities for the most up-to-date information).
✅ Intuitive Field Mapping: Easily connect multiple data points to your Voxel CPTs, taxonomies, and even complex repeater fields. You decide the structure of your imported content!
✅ Effortless Image Importing: Seamlessly import high-quality photos directly from Google Maps. Set limits on the number of imported images or specifically fetch those added by the business owner. You can now import owner photos, latest photos, and menu photos to separate image fields!
✅ Google Autocomplete Integration: Streamline business searches using Google’s predictive autocomplete feature. Refine your searches by country for highly targeted, location-specific directories.
✅ Multi-CPT Flexibility: Manage diverse business types (e.g., businesses, restaurants) with dedicated scraping configurations for each Custom Post Type.
✅ Enhanced Review & Control: Newly fetched data remains in a pending state, giving you full control to review and publish each entry before it goes live – ensuring accuracy and quality.
✅ Robust Duplicate Detection: Receive immediate warnings if a business has already been added, preventing redundant entries. The frontend widget now also features duplicate detection, alerting users before submission.
✅ Efficient Background Processing: Businesses are seamlessly added to a queue and processed in the background via cron jobs, allowing you to continue working without interruption. You can now manually trigger queue processing and force process pending items.
✅ Improved Queue Management: Easily monitor the status of your queued items with new status filters. Gain complete transparency with the ability to view all raw Outscraper API calls in the log.
✅ Enhanced AI Output: Benefit from updated system prompts that ensure AI-generated content is clean and free of unnecessary references. Language consistency in AI-generated content has also been improved.
✅ Frontend Submission Widget: Empower your users to directly submit businesses through a dedicated Elementor widget.
✅ Informative Admin Interface: Enjoy a new top menu providing quick access to plugin settings and displaying the number of pending queue items. Easily monitor your remaining Outscraper balance and view detailed AI logs for every task. If a task fails, you can now see specific error details.
✅ Flexible Post Status Control: Define the desired status (e.g., Draft, Pending, Publish) for newly created posts during both single and batch processing. Quickly publish pending posts directly from the queue.
✅ Improved Batch Scraper Interface: The batch scraper now displays State/City and Category columns for better search result organization. In the queue, the business name is now shown alongside the Place ID for easier identification.
✅ Refined Field Mapping: We’ve cleaned up and renamed fields for clarity and added taxonomy field support for more options. Mapped fields are now visually highlighted for better organization.
✅ Optimized Performance & Cost Efficiency: Benefit from under-the-hood improvements addressing rate limits and reducing AI API costs. Enhanced caching mechanisms prevent duplicate AI calls.
✅ Retry Failed Fields: Easily retry processing for specific fields that may have encountered errors.
💰 Affordable & Scalable:
Outscraper API is $3 per 1,000 businesses (with optional AI enhancements costing just a few cents more per entry). AI features are unlocked by connecting your own OpenAI or Perplexity API key, with pricing determined by data volume and model usage. You’ll even receive warnings about invalid API keys or insufficient credits. Please do check official and actual pricing information before proceeding.
✨ Unlock Limitless Possibilities with Custom AI Prompts:
Go beyond the standard fields! With custom AI prompts, you can leverage ChatGPT or Perplexity to create an unlimited number of new fields tailored to your specific needs. You can even utilize taxonomy fields and nested repeater fields within your AI prompts for even more dynamic content generation. Use variables like business name and location within your prompts for highly contextual AI-generated data.
