Research - Link Scraper

​

Overview

Bitscale’s Link Scraper is a powerful tool that enables you to extract targeted information from websites and analyze metadata for deeper insights. This video showcases two key capabilities:

1. Scraping and analyzing website text to identify relevant details.

2. Accessing and interpreting website metadata to extract additional insights, such as third-party tools or chatbot services being used.

​

Demonstration Use Case

To illustrate the tool’s functionality, we set up a workflow for a B2B support chatbot company focused on two goals:

1. Classify prospects as B2B or B2C companies.

2. Identify whether a prospect has a chatbot on their website and, if so, extract the name of the chatbot service.

​

Step-by-Step Breakdown

​

1. Scraping Website Text for Classification

Using Link Scraper, we:

• Provided the URL column for a list of five prospects.

• Wrote a prompt to classify each prospect into one of four categories based on their website content (e.g., B2B or B2C).

Result: The first column returned the classification for each prospect (e.g., “B2C” for one and “B2B” for others).

​

2. Analyzing Metadata for Chatbot Identification

Next, we leveraged Link Scraper’s ability to parse website metadata to:

• Check if a chatbot service is present.

• Extract the name of the chatbot service (if available).

We achieved this by:

• Adding a specific instruction in the prompt to analyze metadata for chatbot-related information.

• Setting a fallback value to handle cases where no chatbot data was found (e.g., displaying “None” for such rows).

Result: The second column returned the chatbot name for applicable prospects (e.g., “Lime Chat”) or “None” where no chatbot was detected.

​

Running the Workflow

After setting up the prompts, we ran the tool across all rows simultaneously. The results:

• Prospects classified as B2B or B2C in the first column.

• Chatbot details extracted in the second column, or “None” where no chatbot was detected.

For this use case, good leads for selling a B2B support chatbot were those prospects classified as B2B with no existing chatbot or where we could offer a better solution than their current provider.

​

Key Features Demonstrated

1. Text-Based Scraping: Extract relevant content directly from website text to classify prospects or gather other insights.

2. Metadata Analysis: Analyze website metadata to identify third-party services, such as chatbot providers or trackers.

3. Customizable Prompts: Use tailored prompts to direct Link Scraper’s focus for specific data needs.

4. Efficient Workflow: Process multiple rows simultaneously, saving time and effort.
