Lead Generation Web Scraping System

Challenge

Finding and structuring lead data by hand was slow and inconsistent, taking hours that could go toward actually reaching out to prospects.

Objective

Automate the collection and structuring of lead data so the resulting list is ready to use, not another manual cleanup step.

System Designed

A Python based scraper feeding into an n8n workflow that structures and delivers lead data automatically.

Result

Published on my Upwork profile as a worked example of automated lead data collection; the client rated the web scraping project 5.0.

Workflow

• A Python script does the scraping: finding and extracting the raw lead data while handling pagination, inconsistent page structures and retried requests
• The n8n workflow picks up what the scraper produces, deduplicates it and structures it into consistent fields
• The finished list is delivered on a schedule to where the team already works, rather than as one more spreadsheet to check
