Targeting and export fixes
- Geolocation fix — In depth mode, results were skewed by the local IP. Target city coordinates are now resolved before the browser launches.
- Stronger deduplication — The same business appearing under two different URLs could generate duplicates at export. Fixed at the collection stage.
- Conditional INSEE columns — If SIRET enrichment is disabled, SIRENE columns are removed from the export.
- Bundled Chrome — No more error on first launch on a new machine. Chrome is included in the installer.
Result persistence
- Persisted results — Results are saved to disk and automatically reloaded on restart. No more data loss.
- STOP and Reset separated — STOP keeps results for export. Reset clears them after explicit confirmation.
Automatic SIRET enrichment (France)
- INSEE/Sirene cross-referencing — one checkbox enables automatic enrichment from the official INSEE registry for each Google Maps result.
- Data added — SIREN, SIRET, legal name, establishment name, owner + role, headcount, NAF code + label, legal form, creation date.
- Smart matching — business consistency verified (a plumber won't match a restaurant). Property managers and holding companies filtered automatically.
- Official source — data sourced directly from INSEE, no third party.
Prospect Intelligence — scoring and technologies
- Technology detection — 50+ technologies automatically detected (CMS, analytics, marketing, chat, payment, frameworks). 0 extra requests.
