Professional Services Landscape Intelligence
Professional services businesses deliver expertise rather than products, operating across
legal, financial, consulting, marketing, technology, and countless specialized domains.
Our database identifies and classifies these service providers, enabling sales teams to
target specific service categories, analysts to understand market dynamics, and businesses
to identify potential partners or vendors within their required specialties.
Unlike product or SaaS businesses, professional services firms often have longer sales cycles,
relationship-based buying, and project or retainer-based revenue. Understanding which businesses
operate this model—and their specific characteristics like company size,
target market, and
industry focus—provides crucial intelligence
for go-to-market strategy and competitive analysis.
Service Business Classification
We identify professional services through comprehensive analysis of website content, service
offerings, and business model indicators. Classification distinguishes between different
service types—agencies versus consultancies, law firms versus accounting practices,
technology services versus creative agencies. This segmentation enables targeted analysis
within specific service markets.
Within each service category, additional dimensions enhance targeting precision. Geographic
focus distinguishes local from national or global providers. Company size
indicates capacity and typical engagement scale. Industry specialization
reveals vertical focus. Combined analysis enables precise identification of service providers
matching specific criteria.

companies serving branding and marketing needs.

identify market opportunities.
