The process is so easy, it takes just 5 steps, or put simply: a few clicks. Before we start, though, **make sure that you:** \n\n1. Have configured your search in Yellow Pages\n2. Copied the Yellow Pages URL from your browser's search bar\n\n### Scraping Plumbers From Yellow Pages: Step-By-Step Guide {#scraping-plumbers-from-yellow-pages-step-by-step-guide}\n\nThe following section will guide you through the entire scraping process. If you encounter any issues, feel free to [reach out to us](/contact).\n\n#### Step 1: Sign up & Create a Collection {#step-1-sign-up-create-a-collection}\n\nFirst, sign up for [Datablist.com](/)\n\n![Datablist homepage](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/datablist-homepage.png)\n\nThen, create a ***New Collection***\n\n![Datablist app, home](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/datablist-start-page-new-collection.png)\n\n#### Step 2: Create Your First Property to Prevent Duplicates {#step-2-create-your-first-property-to-prevent-duplicates}\n\nThere are many Plumbers on Yellow Pages that are listed twice. This might be because they have several locations, or for other reasons. If you don’t want to have the “same” business twice, then do the following: \n\n1. Create a ***New Property*** and name it “Business Name”\n    \n![Empty collection](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-creating-property.png)\n    \n\n2. Click on the ***Column Header*** and select ***Rename - Settings - Delete***\n\n![Column settings](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-column.png)\n\n3. ***Check the Box*** next to “Do not allow duplicate values”, then click on ***Save Property***\n    \n![Preventing duplicates](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-preventing-duplicates.png)\n    \n\n#### Step 3: Navigating To the Template {#step-3-navigating-to-the-template}\n\n1. Click on ***Import*** in the top menu of the app and select ***Import From Data Sources***\n    \n![Navigating to the AI agent](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-navigation.png)\n    \n\n2. Scroll down and select ***AI Agent - Site Scraper***\n    \n![Datablist’ sources](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-data-sources.png)\n    \n\nNow, you should see a different interface, which looks like this\n\n![Datablist’s AI Agent - Site Scraper](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-ai-agent.png)\n\n#### Step 4: Selecting the Template & Setting Limits {#step-4-selecting-the-template-setting-limits}\n\n1. Click on ***The Drop-Down*** and select “Yellow Pages Scraper”\n    \n![Yellow Pages Scraper, template selection](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-selecting-template.png)\n    \n\n2. Paste your Yellow Pages search URL in the first field\n\nPaste your Yellow Pages search URL in the first field.\n\nFor example `https://www.yellowpages.com/boston-ma/plumbers`\n    \n![Yellow Pages Scraper, URL field](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-using-template.png)\n    \n\n3.

If you want to scrape all the Plumbers in an entire area and be 100% certain that you got all the results, then you should **do multiple searches for slightly smaller areas where the number of results is less than 3,000**.\n\n4. Scroll down and click on ***Continue***\n    \n![Yellow Pages Scraper, last step](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-running.png)\n    \n\n#### Step 5: Selecting Inputs {#step-5-selecting-inputs}\n\nDatablist will map the first property automatically since they have the same name.\n\nFor the other properties, click on the ***⊕ Icons*** to add them to your collection\n\nOnce you’ve done that, click on ***Run Import Now*** to start scraping\n\n![Yellow Pages Scraper, output selection](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-output-configuration.png)\n\nAfter a few minutes, your results will look like this\n\n![Yellow Pages Scraper, end results](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scraping-yellow-pages-with-datablist-results.png)\n\n## 2 Alternative Methods to Scraping Plumbers From Yellow Pages {#2-alternative-methods-to-scraping-plumbers-from-yellow-pages}\n\nWhile **Datablist offers the most straightforward path**, it's helpful to understand the other tools available. Let’s break down two popular alternatives and see how they compare. This will give you a clearer picture of what \"no-code\" really means across different platforms.\n\n### ScrapingBee {#scrapingbee}\n\nScrapingBee is a “no-code” web scraping API for users who need reliable data extraction for their applications, but **it’s still a tool for developers, not for sellers & marketers.**\n\nThough ScrapingBee markets itself as a solution for no-code users`¹`, but it operates primarily through an API (Application Programming Interface). This means:\n\n- **For a non-technical person, an API is just code by another name.**\n- It requires you to understand how to send requests and handle responses, which is a technical task.\n- Most people looking for a \"no-code\" solution are actually looking for a \"no tech-headaches\" solution; working with an API doesn't fit that description, even though it's easier than coding.\n\n![ScrapingBee](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/scrapingbee.png)\n\n### Octoparse {#octoparse}\n\nOctoparse is **a visual web scraping tool that is genuinely no-code.** You don't need to write code or configure an API, which is a big step in the right direction. \n\nHowever, there are still a few hidden catches when you want to use Octoparse for scraping Plumbers from Yellow Pages:\n\n- **You need to understand the structure of the website**\n\nAnd\n\n- **You have to identify and select the correct website elements**\n\n**These things can be confusing** if you're not familiar with how web pages are built, which leads to a lot of trial and error, watching tutorials, or chatting with support just to scrape a few Plumbers from Yellow Pages. It's easier than coding, **but it's not the effortless experience most users are looking for** (not to mention their expensive pricing`²`) \n\n**But the most annoying thing is probably:** You need to download it, no web app available.\n\n![Octoparse](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/octoparse.png)\n\n## Why Datablist Is the Best Option to Scrape Yellow Pages Listings {#why-datablist-is-the-best-option-to-scrape-yellow-pages-listings}\n\nWhen you compare the options you have to scrape Plumbers from Yellow Pages, it becomes clear that not all \"no-code\" tools are created equal. **Datablist was built from the ground up to eliminate the technical friction that other platforms still have**. Here’s the evidence:\n\n### Price Advantage {#price-advantage}\n\n- **Starting price: Just $25/month;** one of the most accessible yet powerful scraping solutions on the market\n- **Flexible credit system:** Run out of monthly free credits? Simply purchase a one-time credit package instead of upgrading your entire plan`³`\n\n**Additionally,** with Datablist, you won't have any pushy salespeople “checking in”\n\n![Unmatched pricing. Fair and straightforward](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/datablist-has-affordable-pricing.png)\n\n### Ease of Use {#ease-of-use}\n\n**User friendliness is very important** and probably the thing Datablist is the best at. \n\nWith our AI Agent, you don't need to:\n\n- Read documentation\n- Understand APIs\n- Point-and-click on confusing website elements.\n\n**The scraping [templates](/ai-prompts) are ready to use the moment you paste in a Yellow Pages URL.** There is no complex configuration. Even if you want to modify a template to get different data, you can do it using plain English. Just tell the AI what you want, and it handles the rest.\n\n![User friendliness is a priority for us](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/datablist-is-easy-to-use.png)\n\n### Lead Generation Ecosystem {#lead-generation-ecosystem}\n\nScraping data is usually just the first step. The most important thing is what you do with the data afterwards, and **with Datablist, you get much more** than just a Yellow Pages scraper; it provides an entire ecosystem with over 60 tools to support your lead generation efforts`⁴`\n\nOnce you have your list of Plumbers, you can immediately use other Datablist tools, including:\n\n- **Waterfall Email Finders:** Find verified email addresses for your prospects.\n- **Mobile Phone Number Enrichments:** Get direct mobile numbers for cold calling campaigns.\n- **LinkedIn Scraper:** Gather professional data from LinkedIn profiles.\n- **Sales Navigator Scraper:** Extract highly targeted leads from Sales Navigator without risking your account\n- **AI Agents:** Automate research and data collection from any website.\n- **Instagram Scraper:** Collect data from Instagram profiles for social outreach.\n\n![Over 60 tools with more being added frequently](/howto_images/scrape-plumbers-yellow-pages/datablist-offers-an-entire-lead-generation-ecosystem.png)\n\n## The Bottom Line: Scraping Yellow Pages Should Be Easy {#the-bottom-line-scraping-yellow-pages-should-be-easy}\n\nScraping Plumbers from Yellow Pages shouldn't be a project you have to \"set up\" or \"figure out.\" **It should be a simple, fast task that gives you the data you need to grow your business.**\n\nUnlike other \"templates\" that still require a lot of configuration, the only thing you have to do with Datablist's AI Agent is select the Yellow Pages template, paste your URL, and start the process.\n\nYou get a clean, structured list of leads in minutes, not hours, allowing you to focus on what really matters: connecting with potential customers & making money.\n\n**P.S. Use Datablist, it's easier than tying your shoes.**\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Scraping Plumbers From Yellow Pages {#frequently-asked-questions-faq-about-scraping-plumbers-from-yellow-pages}\n\n### How Much Does It Cost to Scrape Yellow Pages? {#how-much-does-it-cost-to-scrape-yellow-pages}\n\nThe cost depends on the tool you use.
