Business directories tools are judged on freshness and fields
A contact that reaches the wrong person, or nobody, is a failure your users see in your product, not ours.
- Does it connect? A number that is dead or disconnected wastes the call.
- Does the name match? A live number for someone else is worse than none.
- Is it the profile you asked about? Not a namesake, not a former owner of the number.

Questions business directories teams ask
What data does Forager provide for business directories?
Forager is a B2B data API and data feed for people, companies and jobs, covering 800M+ people and 65M+ companies. Business directories use company data feed and job postings feed most, by API or data feed. Products like yours are judged on freshness and fields, so every result is about reaching the right person.
How do I add hiring status to company listings?
Match listings to company_feed by domain or linkedin_slug and store forager_id. Count active postings per company from job_postings_feed (is_active, organization_forager_id).
How much does Forager cost for business directories?
Every product draws on one credit balance. Growth's 8,250 monthly credits cover 550 mobiles or 1,650 emails, or a mix. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
Can our users see Forager data in our product?
Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager data to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.
How can a business directory keep company listings current?
Match listings to company_feed by domain or linkedin_slug and store forager_id. Count active postings per company from job_postings_feed (is_active, organization_forager_id).
Can business directories see a sample of the company data feed before licensing it?
Yes. Request a sample extract of the company data feed on a 30-minute call and check the fields against your own records before you license it.
Which Forager products do business directories use most?
Company data feed (1 recipe) and job postings feed (1 recipe), counted across the recipes on this page. Every product draws on one credit balance, so you can mix them on one plan.
How do I know the data is right?
The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.
Which tools does Forager work with for business directories?
Delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
Data feeds are licensed on an annual agreement, with the term, volume and refresh schedule written into it. There are no self-serve plans for feeds.
Should business directories call the API or license a data feed?
Call the API when your product needs one person or company at a time, when a user opens a record or an agent asks. License a feed when you need whole layers (people, companies or job postings) in your own warehouse or index. Contact fields (mobiles and emails) stay in the API, paid per result found.
How is the data sourced, and what about privacy?
Business directories often have to explain their data source to their own customers. Bring your legal and security questions to a call with our team, and we take you through how Forager data is sourced and the terms that cover use by business directories. Forager's privacy policy is public, and anyone can send a request about their own personal data through the consumer rights form on forager.ai.
