💡 Tips

• Bigger lists: The actor follows YellowPages pagination to the last page (safety cap: 100 pages = 3,000 businesses per search). For a whole metro, run several searches by suburb or ZIP code (e.g. 78701, 78704, 78745) — duplicates are removed automatically within a run.
• Find pitch-ready prospects: filter the export for website = null (needs a website) or reviewCount < 5 (needs reviews / reputation management).
• Target established businesses: filter yearsInBusiness >= 5 for insurance, financing and B2B services.

❓ FAQ

Why do some businesses have no street address? Service-area businesses (e.g. mobile roofers, plumbers) list "Serving the Austin Area" instead of an office address. Their phone, website and category are still extracted; address fields are null.

Does it include emails? YellowPages search results do not show email addresses. Use the website field with an email-finder or website contact scraper to enrich the list.

Are sponsored ads included? No lead resellers. The repeating sponsored ad blocks at the top/bottom of each page, and national lead-reseller ads mixed into the result list (toll-free number, "Serving the … Area", no real local business behind them), are skipped. Local businesses that advertise on YellowPages are included — they are real leads.

Why do I get fewer rows than the "results" count on YellowPages? Duplicates are removed: the same business listed twice, and different listing names that share one phone number (common with lead-generation sites), are saved only once.

Is it legal? The actor collects publicly listed business information (business names, business phone numbers and addresses). You are responsible for complying with applicable laws such as the TCPA, CAN-SPAM and the YellowPages terms when you use the data for outreach.
