Expected duration: 1 - 2 weeks Job Title: Data Collection and Research for UK Aesthetic Clinics Offering Botulinum Toxin Treatments
Job Description: We are seeking a diligent and detail-oriented researcher to compile an accurate and comprehensive list of UK aesthetic clinics that specifically deliver botulinum toxin injections, also known as Botox. The data should be well-structured and exclude dental clinics. Below are the requirements and key points for this project.
Scope of Work: Objective:
Compile a list of UK-based aesthetic clinics offering botulinum toxin injections, excluding dental clinics. Data Requirements: For each clinic identified, collect the following details:
Clinic Name Clinic Location (Town) Clinic Full Address Business Website Clinic Phone Number Number of Staff (if available on the website) Treatments Offered (scraped from the website) Key Personnel Information: Name(s) of the clinical director, managing director, clinic owner, doctor, or dentist associated with the clinic. Google Ratings Count and Average Review Score (if easily accessible). Verification of Data Accuracy:
Include a column or note on how the data was verified (e.g., direct website information, verified phone calls, or reliable secondary sources). Include a column for missing data points and a note on why they couldn’t be retrieved (e.g., no website, no phone number listed). Exclusions:
Do not include dental clinics that also offer aesthetic treatments.
Methodology Suggestions: Primary Tools: Use specific tools like Google Maps, LinkedIn, and official clinic websites to gather information. Supplement with reliable business directories or professional registries as needed.
Search Method: Perform a targeted search on Google Maps using terms like “aesthetic clinic.” Cross-reference information with clinic websites to confirm that services delivering "botulinum toxin" or "toxin" is mentioned within their website or otherwise.
Formatting: The final dataset should be delivered in Excel format with clean and consistent formatting for key fields. Organize the data into logical categories (e.g., by region, town, or clinic size).
Deliverables: A structured Excel database containing all required data fields (outlined above). Clearly labeled columns, including one for missing data and one indicating how each data point was verified. Associate Google Ratings count and average review score where available.
A brief explanation of the methodology used and any challenges encountered during data collection.
Volume Expectation: Based on market reports for this sector, we estimate up to 20,000 clinics may need to be identified during this search. Please confirm if this scope is manageable and suggest how you might structure the process for efficiency.
Ideal Candidate Requirements: Experience in web scraping, data collection, and research. Familiarity with tools for gathering and structuring data. Attention to detail to ensure exclusions (such as dental clinics) are implemented correctly. Ability to work efficiently and deliver accurate data within agreed timelines.
Additional Considerations: If you encounter discrepancies or unexpected patterns in the data (e.g., duplicate clinics, regional oversaturation), highlight them in your submission.
Provide suggestions or feedback on improving the search methodology based on your expertise.
Budget: Open to proposals, based on the scope and timeframe. Timeline: Ideally within 1-2 weeks.
If you are interested, please provide examples of similar projects you have completed and a brief summary of how you would approach this task.
