How to capture contact Information

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to figure out how to automate capturing the telephone number of a list of companies using www.yellowpages.com. For example I have a list of 300 companies in excel and would like to input the company name in the find box and "houston, texas" in the location and then grab the company name, address and telephone number and put it in the excel spreadsheet. I would greatly appreciate your help. This software looks fantastic but I'm not sure if what I'm asking is possible or how to accomplish it.

Thanks for you help in advance!

Brad

Re: How to capture contact Information

Brad,

When I'm trying to launch the url yellowpages.com I'm getting the message:

Quote:

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at http://www.yellowpages.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Is there any problem with the specific website?

Hi D.M. Altizer,

I tried the link this morning from the US, http://www.yellowpages.com/

There was no problem logging in. Any chance you could retry it.

Thanks in advance,
Brad

 Brad,

It seems that I cannot see the specific website because I am not located in the US. I will use a proxy server to connect to the website later on, and I will get back to you with some answers.

Re: How to capture contact Information

Thank you. I appreciate your help and look forward to your reply.

I also did some further research and the website www.yellowbook.com does the same thing and seems to respond a lot quicker.

Here's a couple of example company names to try out

charter staffing
unity recruitment
