4. Optional: choose Sort by to request relevance, distance, highest rated, or name order from YellowPages.com.

❓ FAQ

🔍 Can I scrape YellowPages.com without a search term?

Yes. Paste a YellowPages.com search results page or individual business listing URL in YellowPages URLs. If you use search terms, include a location so YellowPages.com can return local listings.

📧 Does this scrape email addresses?

No. This Actor focuses on Yellow Pages listing data such as business names, phone numbers, addresses, websites, ratings, reviews, categories, and hours. Use a separate website contact tool if you want to inspect business websites for public emails.

↕️ Can I sort Yellow Pages results?

Yes. When using search terms and location, you can request relevance, distance, highest rated, or name sorting. YellowPages.com controls the final source order.

🏪 Can I include closed businesses?

Yes. Turn on Include closed businesses if you want listings whose source text marks them as closed. Leave it off to skip those listings when the source labels them clearly.

🧩 Why not use the YellowPages API?

Use official YellowPages access if you already have it and it fits your workflow. This Actor is for Apify users who need export-ready public YellowPages.com listing rows that can run by keyword, location, source URL, schedule, API, or webhook.

🗺️ What are YellowPages alternatives?

Common alternatives include Google Maps, Yelp, business websites, LinkedIn company pages, and other local directories. This Actor stays focused on public US YellowPages.com listings so the output remains source-specific and easy to audit.

🗓️ Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. You can schedule runs in Apify, call the Actor through the API, connect webhooks, or export results to formats such as JSON, CSV, and Excel.
