Use Cases

🌐 Web Design & Development Agencies

Find businesses that don't have a website and offer to build one. A plumber with 50 reviews and no website is losing leads to competitors every day. You solve that problem.

📈 SEO & Digital Marketing Services

Businesses listed on YellowPages but missing a website are perfect for SEO packages. They already want customers — they just need to be found on Google.

📱 Social Media Management

Local businesses without websites often rely on Facebook or Instagram. Offer social media management as a stepping stone to full online presence.

🛒 Online Ordering & Booking Systems

Restaurants, salons, and service businesses without websites can't take online orders or bookings. Offer them a simple booking page or online menu.

📍 Google Business Profile Optimization

Many businesses without websites also have unoptimized Google profiles. Offer GBP setup and optimization as an easy entry service.

🏗️ Cold Outreach & Sales Teams

Build targeted call lists by industry and city. Phone numbers are included — your sales team can start calling immediately.

How It Works

1. You provide a business category and location
2. Actor searches YellowPages for matching businesses
3. Multiple pages are scraped in parallel for speed
4. Each business is checked for website presence (hasWebsite flag)
5. If onlyWithoutWebsite is enabled, businesses with websites are filtered out
6. Clean, structured data is saved to your Apify dataset

Popular Categories to Search

Tips for Best Results

• Start with high-value categories — plumbers, lawyers, dentists have the highest ROI for web services
• Use onlyWithoutWebsite: true — focus on the hottest leads only
• Scrape multiple cities — run the actor for each target city separately
• Use 3+ pages — first page has the most established businesses, later pages have newer ones
• Combine with email finder — some listings include email, for others use an email lookup tool

FAQ

How many businesses can I get per run?

Each page returns ~30 businesses. With pages: 10, you get up to 300 businesses per run. Run multiple times with different categories or cities for larger datasets.

Does it work outside the US?

YellowPages.com covers US businesses. For other countries, check if they have a local YellowPages equivalent.

How accurate is the "no website" detection?

The actor checks the YellowPages listing for a website link. If the business hasn't added a website to their listing, hasWebsite will be false. Some businesses may have a website but haven't listed it — these are still good leads since their online presence is weak.

Can I search for multiple categories at once?

Currently one category per run. Run the actor multiple times with different categories and merge the results.

How often should I run this?

New businesses are added to YellowPages regularly. Running weekly or monthly keeps your lead list fresh.

Is the data real-time?

Yes — data is scraped live from YellowPages at the time of the run. You always get the latest listings.
