Local business lead lists

Build a targeted list of local businesses by city and category, with emails and phone numbers ready for outreach.

The problem

You sell to local businesses, so you need a clean list of the right shops in the right city: plumbers in Denver, dentists in Austin, gyms in Miami. Copying listings by hand from map results is slow, and most listings give you a phone and a website but no email to send to. You end up with a half-built spreadsheet and no reliable way to reach the owner.

How ScraperCity solves it

Scrape the listings for the exact city and category you want, then fill in the missing emails. Google Maps is the primary source; Yelp and the Angi Scraper widen coverage, and the Local Business Database and Email Finder finish the job. Every step exports to the same CSV.

Google Maps Scraper
$0.0099 per business

Run a search like "coffee shops in Portland" and export every business to CSV: name, address, phone, website, category, and rating. This is your primary source for local businesses and by far our most-used scraper.

Yelp Scraper

Pull the same category from Yelp to widen coverage and add reviews and ratings. Cross-reference it with your Maps list to catch businesses one source missed. An Angi Scraper is also available for home-services and contractor niches.

Local Business Database
Included on the $149/mo plan

Skip the scrape when you want speed. Query pre-built local and small-business records with emails, phones, ratings, and location data across many cities at once.

Email Finder
$0.05 per email found (FREE if not found)

Turn the business names and websites from your scraped list into verified business emails, so every row has a contact you can send to.

What you end up with

A single CSV of every plumber in Denver with a website, a verified email, a phone number, address, and rating. Rows without an email are flagged, so you know exactly which businesses are ready to contact and which need a call instead.

A worked example: pest control in Fort Collins

Say you sell software to pest control companies and want every one in Fort Collins, Colorado, with an email you can actually send to. Here is the whole run, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Scrape Google Maps for the city and category

    Run the Google Maps Scraper on "pest control in Fort Collins, Colorado". It returns every listing Google surfaces for that search: business name, address, phone, website, category, and rating, one row each. At $0.0099 per business, a full-city pull is a small spend.

  2. 2

    Widen or backfill the list

    Optionally query the Local Business Database for the same city to add any records Maps missed, or run the Yelp Scraper on the same category for a second live source. Merge the results and drop duplicates on business name plus phone.

  3. 3

    Attach verified emails

    Most listings have a website but no email. Feed the websites and business names into the Email Finder ($0.05 per email found (FREE if not found)) to attach a verified business email to each row. Rows we cannot find an email for are flagged so you know to call them instead.

  4. 4

    Export and start outreach

    Export one CSV: name, address, phone, website, category, rating, and verified email per row. Load it straight into your outreach tool or CRM. Re-run the search whenever you want a refreshed list, since the scrapers pull live data every time.
