What this robot does

Searching Yell.com for plumbers in Birmingham or accountants in Manchester returns dozens of results, but there is no way to export those listings into a usable format. If you need business data from Yell.com search results - for lead generation, market research, or competitor mapping - you are stuck copying names and numbers one by one. This Yell business directory scraper changes that.

Enter a search query and location, and the robot extracts every business listing on the results page: position, job title, years with Yell, rating, number of ratings, email, phone number, specialty, website, location, open hours, description, job link, and image URL. Run it on multiple searches and you can map entire markets across the UK in minutes.

Automating Yell.com search result extraction gets you:

  • ✓ Every business listing from a Yell.com search captured in one structured dataset - names, phone numbers, addresses, and ratings in neat columns.
  • ✓ Scalable prospecting across categories and locations without the hours of manual data collection from the Yell.com interface.
  • ✓ Scheduling support so you can track new businesses appearing in specific search results week over week.
  • ✓ Clean, integration-ready data that flows directly into your CRM, spreadsheet, or outreach tools.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Yell business directory scraper?
A Yell business directory scraper extracts structured business listing data from Yell.com search results pages. This robot captures position, job titles, years established, ratings, review counts, emails, phone numbers, specialties, websites, locations, open hours, descriptions, job links, and image URLs from any category and location search, delivering the data as a spreadsheet-ready dataset.

How is this different from the Yell.com details scraper?
This scraper extracts the search results list - multiple business summaries from a single search. The details scraper extracts the full profile from an individual business page. Use search first to find listings, then details to get complete information on specific businesses.

Can I scrape multiple Yell.com searches at once?
Yes. Queue multiple search result URLs - different categories, different locations - and the robot processes them all. Results merge into a single dataset that you can filter by trade or region.

Is it free to scrape Yell.com search results?
Browse AI's free tier includes credits to run this robot at no cost. Start extracting business data from Yell.com immediately, no credit card required.

Can I track new businesses appearing on Yell.com?
Yes. Schedule the robot to run weekly on your target search. Compare results between runs to spot new listings that appeared since the last extraction.

Can I export the data to my CRM?
Yes. Use Zapier, Make, or the Browse AI API to send extracted business data directly to Salesforce, HubSpot, or any CRM. Google Sheets and Airtable integrations are also available for simpler workflows.

Business discovery works best when you cross-reference listings across multiple directories:

  • Yell.com business details scraper - After finding businesses through search, extract the full profile - opening hours, detailed reviews, and complete descriptions - from individual listing pages.
  • Google Maps search scraper - Compare business presence across Yell.com and Google Maps. Cross-reference listings to build more complete business profiles with data from both directories.
  • Yellow Pages scraper - Extend your directory coverage beyond Yell.com. Extract business listings from Yellow Pages for a more comprehensive view of the local business landscape.
