Cylex

Enterprise listings data ingestion

Cylex Data Sync

For large chains with 500+ locations and agency-managed portfolios. We collect data directly from your branch locator, XML sitemap, or a list of store URLs and keep your listings up to date across the Cylex directory network.

How it works

1. Provide URLs

Share your branch locator URL, XML sitemap, or a CSV of store page URLs.

2. Collect & parse

Our pipelines crawl your pages, parse key fields, and detect changes over time.

3. Normalize & match

We normalize formats, run AI-assisted entity matching and deduplication, then prepare updates.

4. Human QA & publish

Our team reviews edge cases and exceptions. Listings are registered or updated accordingly.

Cylex Data Sync: frequently asked questions

Do we need to build a custom API to use Cylex Data Sync?

No. Cylex Data Sync accepts public branch locators, XML sitemaps, or a CSV/URL list of location pages. This reduces engineering effort for agencies and listing partners - we ingest your existing sources and normalize them for our pipeline.

How frequently does Cylex update listings from my source?

Update cadence is configurable - we run scheduled syncs based on your needs and the change frequency of your site. For high-change clients we offer daily or near-real-time monitoring; for lower-change sites we run weekly or monthly syncs.

How are duplicates and conflicting records handled?

We apply AI-assisted entity matching and a human review process to deduplicate and resolve conflicts. Our matching uses identifiers and heuristics; partners can supply custom dedupe rules and escalation paths to meet business requirements.

Which directories and partners will receive my updated listings?

We publish validated updates across the Cylex directory network and any agreed partner channels. During onboarding we map your distribution targets and confirm coverage for regions and partner directories.

What formats and fields does Cylex Data Sync extract?

We extract name, address, geo-coordinates, phone numbers, opening hours, categories, descriptions and media where available. We also support common structured formats like Schema.org LocalBusiness and JSON-LD to improve data fidelity.

How do you handle data quality and verification?

Our process includes normalization, automated validation, and human-in-the-loop QA for edge cases. We surface validation errors and provide feedback so you can correct source data when needed, improving long-term accuracy.
