Why Do Brands Need Web Crawling & Indexing?

Web crawling is important for brands to gather large amounts of data for data analysis to get actionable insights that can be used to grow their brand. For example, your brand might need to crawl different review websites to know what's the common review of your product or services.

You can use the gathered insights to improve your products or services. Moreover, brands also crawl their competitors' websites to know their brand strategies, strengths, and weaknesses to make their brand stand out from the crowd

Limitations Faced in Web Crawling and Indexing

Web crawling is done by bots or web crawlers at a very high speed to crawl millions of web pages for required data. However, it is easy for websites with robust security to track bots and web crawlers and block them from accessing their web content. You might also face location restrictions on certain websites. As a result, you are unable to perform web crawling. Nonetheless, you can overcome these limitations with Rainproxy proxies at affordable rates.

How Do Proxies Help in Web Crawling and Indexing?

Faster Simultaneous Connections

With the help of proxies, you can crawl millions of pages at an unbelievably fast speed. As a result, the process becomes less time-consuming.

Preventing IP Blocks

Chances of facing IP blocks are more when companies don't use proxies with their web crawlers. The reason is that web crawlers are easy to track and identify as bots. Nonetheless, you can overcome this limitation by using proxies as they mask your original IP address with that of a proxy server's IP.

Bypassing Restrictions

Many websites have millions of pages but they can restrict your crawling request to one or two pages. In such cases, proxies help you to crawl data at scale by using unique IPs that are difficult to track and block. With the IPs located in different regions, you can also bypass geo-restrictions to crawl websites that limit access to people outside their regions.
