Export Local.ch listings to CSV
Start with one or more Italian Local.ch search URLs, for example Medici across Switzerland or Bar in Zurich. The template opens each URL and appends every detected business card to the same CSV.
It is useful for lead research, local SEO audits, partner discovery, market mapping, and comparing category coverage across Swiss cities.

How to use
From search URL to Local.ch CSV in five steps
1
Download and import the template
Use the download link on this page, then import the hosted JSON file into the UScraper local desktop app.
2
Replace the sample Local.ch URLs
Edit the Navigate block with your own Italian Local.ch search URLs. Keep the what keyword and optional where location in the URL so the export can preserve the search context.
3
Confirm the CSV location
The Structured Export block writes local-ch-scraper-it.csv. Change the save folder if your team keeps research exports in a shared project directory.
4
Run the workflow
UScraper navigates, waits, scrolls through visible cards, marks rows for export, writes the CSV, clicks the next-page control, and repeats.
5
Review the output
Open the CSV in Excel, Sheets, or your CRM staging tool. Check a small first batch before running long keyword lists.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Local.ch listings may be publicly visible, but automated collection can still be limited by Local.ch terms, robots directives, database rights, privacy law, and local rules for commercial prospecting. Keep volumes reasonable, collect only what you have a legitimate reason to process, avoid sensitive use cases, and get legal advice before reselling or enriching a large directory dataset.
Before you run
Practical limitations and maintenance
Guardrails for reliable Local.ch exports
Pacing
Avoid aggressive unattended batches
Start with a small keyword list, keep the bundled waits in place, and do not parallelize many Local.ch searches at once. If Local.ch slows down, shows verification, or returns incomplete cards, pause and reduce volume.
Layout
Directory layouts can change
The row-marking script looks for visible cards with address patterns and marks them before export. If Local.ch redesigns result cards, review the extraction block before relying on production exports.
Policy
Public business data still has usage rules
Review Local.ch terms, robots instructions, and Swiss or EU privacy obligations before using exported contact data for outreach, enrichment, resale, or automated profiling.
