Scrape UK businesses from Yell.com by trade and town - name, phone, website, address, postcode, rating, reviews and GPS. Export B2B leads for any category.
Yell Scraper extracts UK business listings from Yell.com to produce lead lists and structured local business data for trade and location queries. It collects business identity and classification, phone numbers (main and extra numbers), cleaned website URLs, street and postal address components or service-area region names, average star ratings and review counts, short straplines and full "about" descriptions, listed services and payment methods, opening hours, sponsored/premium listing flags, listing URLs and logos, and optionally geocoordinates. The connector removes tracking parameters from websites, deduplicates businesses found across multiple searches, and supports splitting queries by finer location units to increase coverage across large cities.
