Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Create a Coda table to save Yelp search results
The first step is to create a Coda table with all the information you want to save.
Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Yelp search results page and save information like name, image, address, reviews, stars, type, links, and more. It will then save this information to your Coda table, once your setup is complete.
Step 2: Install the extension and map the information to Coda
You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Coda.
Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks.
Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start.
You will be asked to specify a Coda table and the maximum number of items from Yelp that you would like to save. After you choose the database and number, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Coda.
The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Coda that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!
Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Coda. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
Step 3: Run the playbook and save a list of services from Yelp to Coda
To save items from the currently opened yelp search page to Coda, navigate to the search results page.
Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and run this playbook. It will save all the information from the search page to the database you specified in Step #1.
This automation is fantastic for market researchers who can use the automation to gather a comprehensive list of services offered by various businesses in a specific location. This data can be used to analyze service trends, identify gaps in the market, and make informed decisions for their research reports.
Business owners and entrepreneurs can benefit from the automation by quickly extracting service information from their competitors' Yelp pages. This allows them to gain insights into their competitors' offerings, pricing, and unique selling points, helping them refine their own business strategies and stay competitive in the market.
Companies that offer a wide range of services can also utilize the automation to create a detailed service catalog. By extracting and saving service details from Yelp to their Coda table, they can maintain an up-to-date and well-organized list of offerings that can be easily shared with clients and prospects. This streamlines the process of presenting services to potential customers and ensures accuracy and consistency in service descriptions.
