I need a list of marriage counselors all over the USA.

Go to http://www.magicyellow.com/category/Marriage_and_Family_Counselors/Cities.html

To find a list of marriage counselors by state and city.

For each city mentioned on this page, you'll find the COURTESY LISTINGS.   

From these listings I'd like you to find at least 20 counselors (for
each city) that have website and email address.

And for each of these I will need the following information:
1. First + last name or practice name (these are already on the page)
2. Full address (this is already on the page)
3. Websit (URL) 
4. Email
5. Short description from their website (e.g. Counseling for marriage
trouble & marriage difficulties in Mississippi. Marriage & Family
Counselors helping families and couples.)

Hi!

I would be willing to help you out. But the biggest problem for me
here is that it is possible that in some cities, we will not get the
required 20 centers which will have websites. Would it be ok to go on
even if we don't find the 20 requirement?

Thanks.

Hi easterangel-ga,

It seems that we're working together again.

Would it be ok to go on even if we don't find the 20 requirement?

It's ok if it happens sometimes, but if you find it to be in most of
the cities, let me know and I'll withdraw the question.

Regards, inspire2go-ga

^Hi! 

The problem with that is the possible waste of effort on our part
since we might be on say the 3rd state (which is hard in itself) and
then the quality of findings become exceedingly low as we proceed
thereby making all the work go down the drain.

I hope you understand our predicament in this case.

Thanks.

Hi,

I see what you mean.

What if I change the question...

Instead of all the cities on that page, you'll look for the 5 biggest
cities in each state (you'll have to find which are the 5 biggest
cities in each state). This way the chance is that you'll find 20
marriage counselors is much bigger.

This way - you don't need to rely on the list I gave you.
Just do a search for "marriage counseling" or "marriage counselors" +
the name of the city - and collect their details straight from their
sites.

What I need at the end is a list of 20 counselors (and their details)
in 5 cities in each state.

Would that help?

Yes. I think it would and I will try it out.

Thanks.

That is still 5,000 individual listings! A very ambitious project Easterangel!

It seems that the results being acquired are still based on telephone
directory type lists which is similar to what you've found so website
results are still not yet there.

So where are we standing?

Hi inspire2go-ga!

On my part no headway since the links that are showing are just their
participation in online directories similar to yours.

Thanks.

Inspire2go-ga,

There are over 260 cities listed on this webpage and you are
requesting at least 20 counselors for each city. If I understand
correctly, you are asking for 5200 individual listings.

A researcher would have to search for the website and email address
for each one and then provide a short description from the website.

This kind of project would take weeks to complete.  Perhaps if you
request one state at a time you might get an answer to your question.

I agree with Bobbie7, and i'd like to add that I randomly selected 3
providers in a city and was unable to find web sites for all three.
This would also increase the time necessary, because many more than 20
would have to be searched for to get 20 for any city.

://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22MOORE+INSTITUTE+INC%22
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22BETTER+LIFE+COUNSELING+GROUP%22
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22HALSEY+RICHARDSON+%26+ASSOC%22

In addition to that, the ones with names have to be changed so google can find it.

"Lastname, firstname, middle initial" is not likely to get results.
