Web Scraping for Lead Generation — Build Targeted B2B Contact Lists

Stop wasting hours manually researching prospects. Use OneScraper's ready-made scrapers to automatically extract verified business contact data, company details, and decision-maker information from the web's top business directories — no coding, no proxies, no technical setup.

What Is Lead Generation Scraping?

Lead generation scraping is the process of automatically extracting business contact information — company names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, decision-maker profiles — from public web sources at scale. Instead of manually copying data from directories and social platforms, you use a scraper to collect thousands of records in minutes.

With OneScraper, you don't need to write a single line of code. Our ready-made scrapers are pre-configured for the most important B2B data sources: LinkedIn company pages, Yellow Pages business listings, Yelp business profiles, Google Business Reviews, and job boards like Indeed. Each scraper returns structured, clean data ready for import into your CRM or outreach tool.

The result: lead lists that used to take a researcher days to build now take minutes, and they're consistently structured — no more inconsistent formatting or missing fields.

Data Fields You Can Extract

  • Business name, address, city, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number and website URL
  • Business category and industry vertical
  • Average star rating and total review count
  • LinkedIn company headcount and industry

From zero to a downloadable prospect list in under 10 minutes — here's exactly how it works.

1

Sign Up and Choose Your Scraper

Create a free OneScraper account (100 credits included, no credit card required). From your dashboard, navigate to the Scrapers library and select the source you want to target — for most B2B lead gen, start with Yellow Pages or LinkedIn.

2

Configure Your Search Parameters

Enter your target criteria: business category (e.g., "marketing agencies"), location (e.g., "Chicago, IL"), and result limit. For LinkedIn, add industry filters and company size ranges. No coding — just fill in the form fields.

3

Run the Scraper

Hit Run and OneScraper does the heavy lifting. It navigates the target site, handles pagination, bypasses bot detection, and collects all matching records. Depending on the volume, most runs complete in 1–10 minutes.

4

Export and Use Your Lead List

Download your results as CSV or JSON. Import directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Instantly, Lemlist, or any other CRM or outreach tool. Each column maps cleanly to standard CRM fields — business name, contact phone, website, city, industry.

5

Schedule Recurring Runs

Set up a weekly or monthly schedule so your lead lists automatically refresh. New businesses appear in your target markets constantly — scheduling ensures you never miss fresh prospects without any manual work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape business contact data from Yellow Pages and Yelp?

Scraping publicly available business directory information is generally considered legal in most jurisdictions, particularly following the hiQ v. LinkedIn Ninth Circuit ruling which affirmed the legality of scraping public data. Business name, address, phone number, and category data listed on public directories like Yellow Pages and Yelp are public information. That said, you should always review the terms of service of each website and ensure your usage complies with GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and other applicable regulations in your region when using the data for outreach.

How many leads can I extract with OneScraper's free plan?

New accounts receive 100 free credits on signup with no credit card required. The number of leads you can extract depends on the scraper — most business directory scrapers consume 1 credit per record, so you can pull up to 100 business listings for free. Paid plans start from $19/month and include significantly more credits for larger-scale lead generation campaigns.

Can I get email addresses from the scrapers?

OneScraper extracts the data that is publicly displayed on the source websites. If a business has listed their email address on their Yellow Pages, Yelp, or Google Business profile, that email will be included in your export. Many businesses only list phone and website, so for email enrichment we recommend using the extracted website domain with an email finding tool like Hunter.io or Snov.io after your initial scrape.

Which CRMs can I import the lead data into?

OneScraper exports in CSV and JSON formats, which are compatible with virtually every CRM and outreach tool on the market, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Apollo, Instantly, Lemlist, Mailshake, and Google Sheets. Most CRMs accept CSV imports directly — you can typically go from a completed scrape run to leads loaded in your CRM in under 5 minutes.

Can I schedule lead lists to be refreshed automatically?

Yes — OneScraper includes a built-in scheduler that lets you set any scraper run to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. This is particularly useful for lead generation because new businesses register constantly. By scheduling weekly Yellow Pages or Yelp scrapes for your target categories and locations, you automatically receive fresh prospect records each week without any manual intervention.
