Exporting Yahoo Local Business Data to Excel and CRM Tools (No Code)

Introduction

Yahoo Local is a lowly business information source. Although the attention is more given to the such platforms as Google Maps or Yelp, Yahoo Local contains thousands of records of small and medium business. Most of these companies update their information frequently since they are aware that consumers also use Yahoo to search.

This is valuable data to the marketers, agencies and sales teams. You can get the bare minimum in a business listing: the name of the company, its phone number, address, the website, and its type. It is precisely this information that you can use to create lead lists, strategize on how to outreach or research local competition.

The thing is that herein lies the issue, it is a nightmare to copy such data manually. It would take hours of typing and pasting into a spreadsheet to collect only 50 businesses by hand. It is nearly impossible with 500 or 1000 listings. This is why it is smarter to export Yahoo Local information to Excel or CRM.

What Type of Data is Exportable?

In scraping or exporting Yahoo Local, you tend to scrape or get the following public listing information:

  • Name of Business – Verbatim brand or local store name (always helps to prevent confusion).
  • Category – Target industries or services even further.
  • Phone Number – Make calls to interested people or check listings within a short time.
  • Address – Map physical sites to local campaigns or route maps.
  • Website URL – Test their presence on the web; email them or analyze it.
  • Ratings and Reviews – An overview of customer feeling prior to contact.
  • Social Media LinksFacebook, Twitter (X), LinkedIn, and YouTube are usually used to offer multi-channel interaction.
  • Business Description – A brief “What they do” to enable you to qualify at a glance.

Note: such tools as Public Scraper Ultimate will not gather secret information as they will only retrieve that data that businesses opt to showcase. There is no scraping of private emails or secret information. This renders the process ethical and compliant.

Why Manual Export is not a Good Idea.

Suppose you have been asked to create a list of 200 dentists in NYC. If you copy-paste manually:

  • It could take 8-10 hours of work.
  • You are sure to make a mistake (wrong phone number, address missing).
  • Each time you needed a new list then you would have to begin anew.

Exporting by hand is just not scalable. This is why clever teams resort to solutions that are automated.

The best part? You do not have to know any code. What used to take hours is now taking minutes.

Use Case: Agency Lead Lists.

A new social media service is being aimed at 500 restaurants in California by a digital agency. They do not have to search city by city but they:

  • Keywords: upload the keyword restaurant + the list of California cities.
  • Run the scraper overnight.
  • Export the findings to Excel.
  • The following morning hand the clean list to the sales team.

The agency has a targeted list of leads that it can use to reach out to in less than a day.

  • They collect names, phone numbers and sites.
  • Export the information to Salesforce.
  • Call campaign using correct contacts.

The list will be created within an afternoon instead of the weeks that would otherwise have been spent in research.

Why Not Have a Scraper?

Other individuals attempt to write their own scrapers in Python, or other languages. Although it can happen, it is faced with huge challenges:

  • Sites are altered making your script obsolete.
  • You should be able to handle proxies to prevent blocks.
  • Captchas make the process slow.
  • Data cleaning is an additional effort.

The majority of the DIY scrapers prove to be more time-consuming than saving. Public Scraper Ultimate would save you the trouble of the process and would instead center your attention on the required data.
