How to generate leads from Yellow Pages?

Yellowpages.com is a United States-based web site that provides listings for local businesses. It currently offers a broad range of marketing tools including online presence, local search, display ads and direct marketing.

Businesses use yellow Pages because making potential buyers aware of your company is the first step in getting them to buy.

So the question arises that how do you exactly extract yellowpages.com for data for your business needs.

Well, no need to worry as we will show you the step-by-step process of extracting data from the listings on Yellow Pages.

First of all, go to yellowpages.com

In the search bar, type in the type or a specific name of the businesses you are looking for. For this example, we are choosing “salons”.

Enter the location, we have entered “New York City, NY”. You can choose any location you want or select from the suggestions on the drop down list.

Click on “Find” button.

The search results would appear like this. First off you will see some sponsored links on the top that have paid to be shown as an advertisement for when a person searches for a salon in that particular location.

Scroll down a little and you will see the actual search results shown.

Click on one of the search results and it would take you to a page displaying the details of the business like the address, contact number, business timings, ratings, and email (if any).

Scrolling down to the gallery section you will be able to see the videos or images uploaded by the business.

Below the gallery section you will see the detailed reviews and individual ratings of the customers that have dealt from the business.

Repeat the above process for all search results and as per your choice manually enter the required data into an Excel file one by one.
