  1. Have configured your search in Yellow Pages
  2. Copied the Yellow Pages URL from your browser's search bar

Step 2: Create Your First Property to Prevent Duplicates

There are many dentists 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:

Create a New Property and name it “Business Name”

📘 Yellow Pages Display Limits

Yellow Pages displays a maximum of 30 results per page and 100 pages per search.

This is regardless of how many actual results exist. If you want to scrape all the dentists 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.

Scroll down and click on Continue

2 Alternative Methods to Scraping Dentists From Yellow Pages

While 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.

ScrapingBee

ScrapingBee 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.

Though ScrapingBee markets itself as a solution for no-code users[1], but it operates primarily through an API (Application Programming Interface). This means:

  • For a non-technical person, an API is just code by another name.
  • It requires you to understand how to send requests and handle responses, which is a technical task.
  • 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.

Octoparse

Octoparse 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.

However, there are still a few hidden catches when you want to use Octoparse for scraping dentists from Yellow Pages:

  • You need to understand the structure of the website

And

  • You have to identify and select the correct website elements

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 dentists 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])

But the most annoying thing is probably: You need to download it, no web app available.
