Market Research Proxy Guide

Market research workflows need country coverage, compliant data collection, and reliable residential pool size. Build a country matrix before buying a large plan.

1 Define which countries, languages, and data sources are required.
2 Create a country matrix and test success rate before buying volume.
3 Separate public catalog research from workflows involving personal data.
4 Document provider sourcing, consent posture, and retention rules.

Choose a provider for the workload, not the headline score.

Start with the ranking table, then read the top provider reviews before buying a larger plan.
