Let’s work on
your data.

I can help with marketing research, custom scrapers, data engineering and analysis. We can start with the question you need to answer or the website you need data from.

Start a project

Hi, I’m Mary Lou.

I’m Mary Lou, the person behind JMLP and its nine public Apify scrapers. I work with Python, web scraping, SQL and dbt, and offer marketing consulting, data engineering and analysis.

I can help you define the research question, collect the public data and build a pipeline for it. If you need help interpreting the results, I can work on that too.

What I can help with.

Custom web scrapers

A scraper for the sources you need.

I'll build a Python scraper for your target sites, agree the output fields and limits with you, and set it up so your team can run it.

Ad hoc research projects

Help with a one-off question.

A dataset and analysis for a competitor audit, market comparison, campaign planning sprint or account research project.

Large-scale data collection

A plan for larger collection jobs.

We'll work out batching, proxies, scheduling and checkpoints, including how to remove duplicates. The source and your budget guide the scope and coverage before we scale.

Data engineering

Get the records into your warehouse.

I can connect scraper output to BigQuery or your warehouse, build SQL and dbt models, and keep the collection history so you can trace your tables back to the source.

Data analysis

Compare the data and explain the findings.

I can work on comparisons, research reports and dashboards. I'll show the missing data and assumptions alongside the findings so you can judge them.

Marketing consulting

Use the research to plan a campaign.

We can use competitor ads and search research to work on positioning, campaign ideas and testing priorities, then decide what to report on regularly.

The question

Tell me what you want to learn, the decision it will help with and who will use the results.

The sources

Send the sites or example URLs, the markets you’re interested in and the fields you need.

The delivery

Say whether you need a one-off file, a sheet that updates, a dashboard or tables in your warehouse.
