Custom lead generation software development in Columbus
Columbus sells through insurance, fulfillment, and campus procurement, so we build crawlers that watch licensing and bid awards.
Columbus build sheet
Work is remote and the records are public, so where your office sits does not change the build — but which counties publish what absolutely does.
Columbus buys in a particular way. Insurance carriers and their agency networks run on licensing. Fulfillment and distribution operators run on facility footprints. Campuses and public institutions run on published procurement. Each of those leaves a public record, and each needs a different parser. We build the crawlers, the entity resolution, and the verification layer that turns those records into accounts your reps can work, with a documented reason attached to every one.
You end up owning software. Scraper code, your database, your schedule, dedupe and verification in the pipeline, enrichment, and delivery into your CRM or a dashboard. Builds start at $1,500. Most Columbus projects begin with either licensing or procurement postings, because both produce records that resolve cleanly to real organizations. Once match rates hold up, we add permits, property records, and carrier data on the same schedule and into the same database.
Public sources in Ohio
- Ohio Secretary of State entity registrations
- Ohio professional and occupational licensing boards
- Public procurement and bid award postings
- FMCSA carrier registrations for Ohio-based fleets
Coverage is uneven by county and agency. Some publish daily with contact details attached; some publish an address and nothing else. Which of these actually carry your market is the first thing we map — before any code is written or any invoice is sent.
Columbus industries we build for
Insurance carriers and agencies
Ohio's professional and occupational licensing boards list licensed agents and agencies with status and location. Individual licensees roll up to firms, and firms are the account. We build that resolution layer, drop lapsed records during verification, and join to Ohio entity filings so you see ownership and structure alongside the license.
Logistics, fulfillment and distribution
The metro's distribution corridor keeps adding facilities, and each one carries carrier, equipment, and service spend. We crawl industrial permits and county property records alongside FMCSA carrier registrations, resolving warehouses and fleets to operating entities so your reps target the company rather than a series of dock addresses.
Higher education and public institutions
Campuses and public bodies publish bid solicitations and award notices for facilities, IT, food service, and construction. Those postings name the buyer, the category, and the deadline. We build crawlers over public procurement portals and match awarded vendors to Ohio entity records so you track both demand and competition.
Retail headquarters and vendor networks
Selling into retail HQ means finding the vendors and service firms already circling it. Ohio entity registrations, city business licenses, and county property records identify agencies, fixture suppliers, and logistics partners across the metro. We crawl those, cluster by category, and enrich to contact level for a segment you can actually work.
Construction and commercial development
Columbus and the surrounding counties publish permits naming contractor, address, and scope. Joined to Ohio contractor and occupational licensing, each record carries standing. We track permit history per firm so you can rank contractors by current activity, and we separate commercial scopes from residential before anything reaches your reps.
Three builds that fit this market
Concrete examples, not a menu. Every real build is scoped to one company's sources and sales motion.
Agency rollup from state licensing records
A pipeline over Ohio professional and occupational licensing boards that reads individual licensee records and resolves them to firms by shared address, entity name, and filing data. Lapsed and duplicate entries drop during verification. Firms join to Ohio entity registrations for structure and officers. Output is an agency-level account list with licensed headcount attached to each record.
Procurement award crawler with vendor matching
A nightly crawler over public bid and award postings across the metro's institutions and municipalities. Solicitations parse into buyer, category, and deadline; awards parse into vendor and value band. Awarded vendors match against Ohio entity filings. Keyword rules you define route relevant postings into your CRM with the source document linked on every record.
Distribution facility and fleet resolution build
A build that crawls county industrial permits and property records, then cross-references FMCSA carrier registrations for fleets operating at those addresses. Sites resolve to operating entities, entities collapse into accounts with facility and fleet counts, and enrichment appends contact routes. You get an operator-level target list instead of a set of unlinked address rows.
What every build includes
Scope and fixed price
One call, then a written scope with a number on it. No hourly billing and no scope drift.
Source map first
What exists in Ohio, what it publishes and how often — delivered before development starts.
Clean output
Normalisation, deduplication and verification, so what lands in your CRM is workable on arrival.
Code in your hands
Repository, runbook and delivery pipeline transferred to you. Hosting is optional, never a lock-in.

Can you build a list of licensed insurance agencies in Columbus?
Yes. We build a pipeline over Ohio licensing board records that resolves individual licensees into firms using shared address, entity name, and filing data. Lapsed and duplicate entries drop during verification. Firms join to state entity registrations for structure and officers. You get agency-level accounts with licensed headcount, refreshed on whatever schedule you set.
How do I track public bid awards in the Columbus area?
We build a nightly crawler over public procurement and award postings from municipalities and institutions across the metro. Solicitations parse into buyer, category, and deadline. Awards parse into vendor and value band, then match against Ohio entity filings so you can see who is winning. Filtered matches route into your CRM with the source document attached.
What happens after the build is delivered?
You own the code and the data, and the scheduled runs keep going. We document each parser so your team can adjust filters without calling us. Public portals do change layouts, so most clients keep a maintenance arrangement for updates and new sources. If you would rather run and maintain it in house, we hand over everything needed to do that.
