What is the Most Cost Effective Method of Finding Listings of Companies?

I use custom build datamining tool. It does search for potential companies in city, guesses their potential profile and produces offer. It pre-selects targets based on defined rule set. For example, companies using specific software solutions.
You can hire developer to do something to automate your current work.

It performs scans, downloads documents, collects os versions and fingerprints of the servers, datamines facebook and linkedin. It connects the dots and analyse the data the way it can predict future actions. – Andrew Smith 12 years ago
DUNS number is the US, EU govs and many companies world wide do that.

Certificate of Good Standing is another good way to verify company.
