US and Canadian hospitality
Restaurants, bars, cafés and hotels have denser Yelp coverage than almost any other source, including Maps.
Yelp scraper
Yelp's coverage of North American restaurants, bars and local services is deeper than any map product, and its listings are curated rather than self-claimed.
How it works
Listings are found with a site-restricted search against yelp.com, matching your keyword and city. Only /biz/ URLs are kept, so results are businesses rather than review pages, user profiles or collections.
Nothing logs in and no Yelp account is used. Only the public listing URLs a search engine already indexes are read.
The profile carries no email address, and its bio link is not read — that would mean fetching the profile page itself, which none of these platforms serve without a login. What the profile does give you is a business name and a place, and that is enough: GoLeadX looks the business up by name and city to find its own website. That site is then crawled. GoLeadX fetches the site's homepage and up to two contact-ish pages — contact, about, impressum, kontakt, imprint, team, support — and pulls every address, phone number and social link it finds, preferring an address on the business's own domain over a free mailbox. Every address is then checked for syntax, for a valid MX record on its domain, and — where SMTP verification is enabled — with a real probe against the receiving server. Results come back labelled valid, risky or invalid, and disposable domains are dropped.
What you get back
| Field | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Business name | From the listing title, cleaned of Yelp suffixes. |
| Listing URL | The public /biz/ page. |
| Email + status | From the business's own site, verified. |
| Website + phone | Where the business publishes them. |
What it is good for
Home and personal services
Contractors, salons, auto shops and cleaners maintain Yelp listings because customers still search there first.
Cross-checking a Maps list
A business on both is a business that is actively maintained, which is a useful quality signal before you spend a send on it.
What it cannot do
- Coverage outside North America is thin. In most of Europe and Asia, Maps or the platform sources will return far more.
- Yelp does not publish business email addresses, so nothing in your export came from Yelp itself.
- A business whose name and city do not match a findable website resolves to a name and a listing URL and nothing more.
Questions
01 Does this pull reviews or ratings?
No. It returns the business and its contact details. Review text and star ratings are not collected.
02 How is this different from the Google Maps source?
Different index. Yelp is deeper on North American hospitality and services; Maps is broader everywhere else and returns a structured address and category before any crawling. Running both on one niche and letting the results deduplicate is a common approach.
03 Is it useful outside the US?
Rarely. If you are searching a European or Asian city, spend the credits on Maps and web search instead.
Other sources
Every plan includes all eleven. Running two on the same niche costs only the credits — results deduplicate, so the overlap is not charged twice.
Google Maps scraper
Google Maps lists millions of businesses and shows an address, a phone number and a website — but never an email. This closes that gap: the listings come from the Places API, the emails come from the sites those listings point at.
Website email extractor
The source that catches everything the platforms miss: businesses that never claimed a map listing, never made a profile, and exist as a website and nothing else.
LinkedIn email finder
LinkedIn profiles are the best public index of who does what, and the worst place to find a working email. This uses the first fact and works around the second.
Instagram email scraper
A large share of small businesses are easier to find on Instagram than anywhere else. Instagram gives you the name and the city; the name and the city are enough to find the site that carries the address.
Try it on a niche you know
The fastest way to judge any source is to run it against a market you already understand and check the rows against what you know. That takes about a minute.
