Yellow Pages Scraper for CSV Export
This Yellow Pages scraper turns YellowPages.com search results into a structured CSV for local business research. Import the workflow into the UScraper local desktop app, edit the search term and location, then export business names, categories, phones, addresses, websites, listing URLs, ratings, years in business, and summary text without writing a crawler.

At a glance
Scrape Yellow Pages results into a business directory CSV
The bundled template starts from a restaurants-in-New-York search URL. Replace the query parameters in Navigate with the business category and city you are allowed to collect before running a production batch.
Spreadsheet-ready leads
Export Yellow Pages leads into a CSV that can be reviewed in Excel, Sheets, CRM importers, enrichment tools, or internal QA workflows.
Pagination is already wired
The graph keeps checking for a next page link, clicks it when available, waits for fresh result rows, and appends the next batch under the same headers.
Local desktop execution
The run happens in your desktop browser session and writes to a folder you control. The template does not require a hosted scraping dashboard.
Useful listing context
The CSV keeps both source links and visible category/rating text, which makes it easier to audit rows before outreach or analysis.

2
Edit the search URL
In the Navigate block, replace the sample restaurants and New York query with your approved keyword and location.
3
Confirm the export path
Structured Export writes yellow-pages-scraper.csv with headers enabled and append mode on. Change the save folder for client-specific or campaign-specific runs.
4
Run the pagination loop
UScraper opens the page, waits for visible result rows, exports matching listings, checks the Next link, clicks it when available, and repeats.
5
Open and QA the CSV
Spot-check several listing URLs against the live directory, remove duplicates, and validate phone or website fields before downstream use.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
YellowPages.com listings may be publicly visible, but automated collection can still be limited by the site's terms, robots rules, privacy law, database rights, and marketing regulations. Use modest pacing, avoid bypassing access controls, and get legal review before resale, enrichment, or outbound campaigns. Review the official Yellow Pages terms and conditions before commercial use.
Before you run
Practical limitations and maintenance
Guardrails for reliable Yellow Pages exports
Pacing
Avoid aggressive unattended batches
Keep the waits in place, avoid parallel runs for the same directory, and pause if pages slow down or return unusual responses. Polite pacing protects data quality.
Layout drift
Result-card markup can change
The template depends on visible result cards and a discoverable Next link. Blank names, empty websites, or early loop exits usually mean the page layout or selector assumptions need a refresh.
Compliance
Business listings still have usage rules
Phone numbers, addresses, ratings, and descriptions can still be governed by platform terms and outreach rules. Keep records of source URLs and use exported rows only for allowed purposes.
