How to Use Goyellow Leads Scraper with HireWebScraper Tools

Updated 2026-11-06

This article shows you how to extract business leads from GoYellow, enrich the data with Smart Scraper Studio, and handle related PDFs using HireWebScraper's free browser tools. Follow each practical step and keep privacy laws in mind.

1. Prepare Your GoYellow Search Criteria

First, decide what type of businesses you want to target on GoYellow. Think about industry, location, and company size – for example “plumbing firms in Berlin with 5‑20 employees.” Write these parameters down as simple keywords; they will become the filters you apply in the GoYellow search bar.

When you have a clean list of URLs or company names, export the page as a CSV or copy the table into a spreadsheet. Before moving the data into any scraping tool, double‑check that you are only collecting information that is publicly displayed and that you will use it in compliance with GDPR and CAN‑SPAM rules. This means you must have a legitimate interest or consent to store personal contact details, and you must provide a clear opt‑out option in any future outreach. Once the list is verified, you can feed it into Smart Scraper Studio to enrich missing emails or websites, or use HireWebScraper’s free in‑browser PDF tools for any PDF‑based lead documents you later receive.

1. Open GoYellow and enter your main keyword (e.g., “plumbing”).
2. Use the built‑in filter options to narrow results by city, postal code, or radius around a specific address.
3. If you need to exclude certain categories (such as “home‑service only”), add a minus sign before the term (e.g., “‑home‑service”).

2. Export GoYellow Results to CSV

After you have run the GoYellow scraper and collected the company names, addresses, phone numbers and any available website URLs, the next step is to get that data into a CSV file that you can open in Excel or import into a CRM. The built‑in export function of the GoYellow scraper creates a standard CSV with column headers that match the fields you searched for.

Open the CSV in Excel to verify that each row contains the expected information and that no extra commas have broken the formatting. If you need to remove duplicate entries, use Excel’s “Remove Duplicates” feature. Before you start any outreach, double‑check that the contacts you plan to email comply with GDPR (for EU residents) and CAN‑SPAM (for U.S. recipients). This means you must have a lawful basis for processing personal data and provide a clear opt‑out option in every message. Keeping the CSV on your local machine and not uploading it to third‑party services helps maintain privacy and reduces the risk of accidental data leaks.

1. Click the “Export” button in the scraper’s results pane.
2. Choose “CSV” from the file‑type dropdown.
3. Save the file to a secure folder on your computer.

3. Import the CSV into Smart Scraper Studio

To bring your Goyellow leads into Smart Scraper Studio, first turn the PDF export from Goyellow into a CSV file. Use the free in‑browser PDF‑to‑Excel converter on hirewebscraper.com: drag the PDF onto the page, select “Export as CSV,” and click Convert. The conversion runs locally, so your data never leaves your computer, which helps you stay compliant with GDPR and CAN‑SPAM requirements by keeping personal information under your control.

Once you have the CSV, open Smart Scraper Studio on your desktop. Choose File → Import → CSV, then locate the file you just created. The app will display a preview of the columns; verify that the fields (company name, address, phone, etc.) line up correctly. If any column needs renaming, you can edit the header directly in the preview. After confirming the layout, click Import and Smart Scraper Studio will load the leads into its database, ready for cleaning, enrichment, or further scraping of missing websites and emails. Remember to handle the imported data in line with privacy regulations, storing it securely and using it only for legitimate B2B outreach.

4. Clean and Enrich Leads (Websites & Emails)

When you’ve gathered raw data with Goyellow Leads Scraper, the next step is to clean and enrich the list so every record includes a valid website and email address. Start by exporting the scraped data to Excel, then open Smart Scraper Studio on your desktop. Use the “Website Finder” feature to automatically search for the company’s domain based on the name and location fields. Once the URLs are populated, run the “Email Enricher” which cross‑references public directories and company pages to fill in missing email addresses.

After enrichment, review the results for obvious errors (e.g., generic “info@” addresses) and remove duplicates. Remember to handle the data responsibly: any outreach must comply with GDPR, CAN‑SPAM and other anti‑spam regulations, meaning you need a lawful basis for contacting prospects and must provide an easy opt‑out. If you need to convert PDFs of existing lead lists into Excel before cleaning, the free in‑browser tools at https://www.hirewebscraper.com/scrape/ can help you do that without uploading files to a server.

1. Import your Excel file into Smart Scraper Studio.
2. Click “Find Websites” – the app will add a website column for each company.
3. Click “Enrich Emails” – missing email fields are populated where possible.

5. Convert PDF Documents to Excel with In‑Browser Tools

When you have a PDF list of prospects—whether it’s a bank statement, an invoice batch, or a simple lead sheet—HireWebScraper’s free in‑browser PDF tools let you turn that file into a tidy Excel spreadsheet without installing anything. The conversion happens locally, so the document never leaves your computer, which helps you stay compliant with GDPR and CAN‑SPAM rules by keeping personal data under your control.

After the download, open the Excel file and clean up any mis‑aligned columns or merged cells. You can then feed the cleaned list into Smart Scraper Studio for enrichment—adding missing website URLs or email addresses—while still respecting privacy regulations. The whole workflow stays within the browser, is free, and requires no extra software beyond the optional desktop Smart Scraper Studio for later web‑based enrichment.

1. Open hirewebscraper.com and select the “PDF → Excel” tool.
2. Drag your PDF file onto the upload area or click to browse for it.
3. The tool reads the tables, extracts the text, and instantly generates a downloadable .xlsx file.

6. Ensure GDPR and CAN‑SPAM Compliance

When you pull contact data with Goyellow Leads Scraper, treat it like any other B2B list: you must respect the privacy rights of EU residents and the anti‑spam rules that apply in the US. First, verify that each record includes a legitimate basis for processing under GDPR—typically a business‑to‑business interest or the individual’s consent. If you cannot confirm a lawful basis, remove that entry before you import it into Smart Scraper Studio or any other marketing system.

By documenting the source, providing easy opt‑out mechanisms, and only using the data for legitimate business purposes, you stay compliant while still benefiting from HireWebScraper’s free in‑browser PDF tools and the Smart Scraper Studio desktop app for cleaning and enriching your lists.

1. Keep a clear record of where each lead came from (the Goyellow URL, date of scrape, and any consent notes).
2. Add an unsubscribe link to every email you send and honor opt‑out requests within ten business days.
3. Include your physical mailing address and a simple way for recipients to stop future communications, as required by CAN‑SPAM.
