What does Yellow Pages Scraper do?
Yellow Pages Scraper is a Windows desktop app that extracts business names, emails, postal addresses, phone and fax numbers and websites from Yellow Pages and similar directories. You search by keyword, category and location, it collects the matching listings, removes duplicates, and exports a clean list to CSV, Excel or XML.
Instead of copying listings by hand, you point the software at a directory, describe the businesses you want, and let it build the list for you. Everything runs on your own PC — there is no browser extension to install, no script to write and no cloud account to manage. The rest of this page walks through each capability in detail.
What business data can it extract?
It captures the core contact fields a directory publishes for each business: company name, postal address, phone number, fax number, email address and website. Each field lands in its own column, so the export is structured and ready for a spreadsheet, CRM or mail-merge rather than a wall of text.
| Field | What it captures | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Business name | The company or trading name on the listing | Personalising outreach and de-duplication |
| Postal address | Street, city, region and postcode where shown | Territory targeting and direct mail |
| Phone number | The listed business phone | Tele-prospecting and verification |
| Fax number | The listed fax, where a business publishes one | Legacy B2B contact records |
| Email address | The business email, where the listing shows one | Permission-based email outreach |
| Website | The company’s website URL | Research, enrichment and qualification |
Coverage of any single field depends on what each listing actually publishes — not every business shows an email or fax, so those columns fill in wherever the directory provides them.
How do you target the right businesses?
You search by keyword and location, and can narrow by category, so the scraper only collects the type of business and the area you care about instead of the whole directory. Search “plumbers” in one city, or a whole industry across a region, and it gathers just those matching listings.
That keyword-plus-location model is what turns a directory into a targeted prospect list. You decide the industry and the geography; the software walks the matching results and collects each listing’s fields. Because you control the query, you can build a tightly focused list for one niche or a broad one across many categories and cities — and repeat the search whenever you need a fresh pull.
What formats can you export to?
Results export to CSV, Microsoft Excel and XML. Those three formats drop straight into spreadsheets, CRMs, mail-merge tools and databases, so the list you build is immediately usable in the software you already run — no manual reformatting.
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Excel (.xls/.xlsx) | Sorting, filtering and reviewing lists by hand |
| CSV | Importing into a CRM, mail-merge or almost any app |
| XML | Feeding structured data into databases and custom tools |
Because every field sits in its own column, an exported file is ready to filter, mail-merge or import without cleanup.
How does it keep your lead list clean?
The scraper de-duplicates records as it collects them, so the same business is not exported multiple times even when it appears under several categories or searches. You get one row per business, which keeps your outreach counts accurate and avoids contacting the same company twice.
Duplicate listings are the usual downside of directory data — a company can appear in overlapping categories or across nearby locations. Removing those repeats before export means the file you hand to your sales or email tool reflects the real number of prospects, not an inflated one, and spares you a manual clean-up pass.
Do you need any coding or technical setup?
No. Yellow Pages Scraper is a point-and-click Windows application. You enter a keyword and location, run the search, and export — there is no code to write, no scraping task to build, no browser extension and nothing to host. If you can use a search box, you can use it.
General-purpose scraping platforms often ask you to configure a workflow for each website before you get any data. Here the Yellow Pages directory support is already built in, so that step is done for you. Install, search, export — the whole process is designed to get a non-technical user from a blank screen to a usable list in minutes.
Where is your data stored — on your PC or in a cloud?
Everything stays on your own computer. Because Yellow Pages Scraper is desktop software, your searches and the lists you extract are saved on your machine, not on a vendor’s servers. The app only contacts Management-Ware to validate your licence and check for updates.
For many businesses that local-first model is the point: your prospect data never passes through a third-party cloud, there are no per-record cloud fees, and you are not trusting another company to hold your lead lists. You own the files, you decide where they go, and the cost is a flat annual subscription rather than usage-based billing.
What do you need to run Yellow Pages Scraper?
It runs on Windows 7 and every later version of Windows, including Windows Server. It is a lightweight desktop install with no extra services to configure. Mac users can run it inside a Windows virtual machine such as Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox.
The current version is 1.2.4.31, last updated on 20 February 2025. A paid licence is a 1-year subscription that covers 2 computers and includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, with 5-computer and 10-computer add-on packs available if you need to run it on more machines.
