Proxies For Market Research

How does proxy for market research work?

1. Every request you make to a website while using a proxy server achieves the following.
2. Your request passes through a proxy server which sends the request to a website in question, using the proxy server’s IP address instead of yours.
3. The website receives the request and sends back its contents to the proxy server.
4. The proxy server passes the information back to you.

That’s all there is to it! Everything works with top-notch protocols including HTTP(S) and SOCKS5, which guarantee not only the stable connection, but also maximum retrieved speed. Nowadays, proxy services are smart enough to use a pool of IPs that they change periodically which guarantees that you won’t get blocked regardless of the amount of traffic that you send.

Imagine that you send thousands of requests every day. Without a proxy, you would have been blocked long ago. But thanks to the rotation of IP addresses, you can safely collect data without fear of captchas and bans. The data collection process becomes continuous and invisible to websites.

What problems does a proxy solve?

• Geo-targeting and localized content: 

Need to analyze region-specific content and prices for goods and services? A proxy can enable you to collect price data and analyze promotions and product offerings on websites even when you do not have direct access to a region. Proxies can provide access to data that can be obtained behind geo-restrictions. 

• Competitor website analysis: 

Analyzing price, product and marketing strategies of competitors in different geographies is a complex task. Proxy servers can provide easy access to a competitor’s websites from different geo-locations, allowing you to pull localized content rather than relying on estimates or assumptions. 

• Analyzing trends and demand: 

Need to analyze multiple data sources to identify trending products and shifting market demand? Proxies support data collection from different sources and facilitate advanced analysis to enable you to identify emerging market niches. 

• Review data analysis and brand reputation: 

Which products or brands have poor reviews and ratings? Proxies facilitate access to geologically diverse reviews enabling brand managers to maintain reputation and conduct review audits.

• Price aggregation:

Automatically gather and assess prices across various stores and regions for identical products. Develop price aggregators and assess the market’s pricing strategy. This is useful for businesses that aim to provide their clients with the most competitive pricing.
