How to Export Yahoo Local Business Data to Excel and CRM Tools (Without Coding)
Introduction
Yahoo Local is an underrated source of business information. Even though platforms like Google Maps or Yelp get more attention, Yahoo Local still holds thousands of listings for small and medium businesses. Many of these businesses update their details regularly because they know customers search on Yahoo too.
For marketers, agencies, and sales teams, this is valuable data. A business listing can give you the essentials: the company name, phone number, address, website, and category. These details are exactly what you need to build lead lists, plan outreach, or analyze local competition.
But here’s the problem: copying this data manually is a nightmare. Even collecting just 50 businesses by hand could take hours of copying and pasting into a spreadsheet. For 500 or 1,000 listings, it becomes almost impossible. That’s why exporting Yahoo Local data into Excel or a CRM is the smarter way to work.
What Kind of Data Can You Export?
When you scrape or export from Yahoo Local, you usually capture public listing details such as:
- Business Name – The exact brand or local store name (helps avoid duplicates).
- Category – Pinpoint industries or services for sharper targeting.
- Phone Number – Call prospects directly or verify listings quickly.
- Address – Map physical locations for local campaigns or route planning.
- Website URL – Check their online presence; use it for email outreach or analysis.
- Ratings and Reviews – A snapshot of customer sentiment before you reach out.
- Social Media Links – Often includes Facebook, Twitter (X), LinkedIn, and YouTube for multi-channel engagement.
- Business Description – A short “what they do” so you can qualify at a glance.
Important: tools like Public Scraper Ultimate only collect public data that businesses choose to display. Private emails or hidden information are not scraped. This keeps the process ethical and compliant.
Why Manual Export Doesn’t Work
Let’s imagine you’re tasked with building a list of 200 dentists in New York City. If you copy-paste manually:
- It could take 8–10 hours of work.
- You’ll likely make mistakes (wrong phone number, missing address).
- Every time you want an updated list, you’d have to start over.
Manual exporting simply doesn’t scale. That’s why smart teams turn to automated solutions.

Example Use Case #1: Agency Lead Lists
A digital agency wants to target 500 restaurants in California for a new social media service. Instead of searching city by city, they:
- Upload the keyword “restaurant” + list of California cities.
- Run the scraper overnight.
- Export the results into Excel.
- Hand the clean list to the sales team the next morning.
In less than a day, the agency has a focused lead list ready for outreach.
Example Use Case #2: Sales Team Outreach
A sales rep at a software company wants to contact 1000 local plumbers across Texas. By using PublicScraper:
- They gather names, phone numbers, and websites.
- Import the data into Salesforce.
- Launch a call campaign with accurate contact info.
Instead of weeks of research, the list is generated in an afternoon.
Why Not Build Your Own Scraper?
Some people try coding their own scrapers in Python or other languages. While this is possible, it comes with big challenges:
- Websites change their design, breaking your script.
- You need to manage proxies to avoid blocks.
- Captchas slow down the process.
- Cleaning the data requires extra work.
Most DIY scrapers end up taking more time than they save. With Public Scraper Ultimate, you skip the hassle and focus directly on the data you need.
