Pro Tips for Yelp + Google Sheets

Extract Contact Info Automatically

Many Yelp listings display email addresses and website links. Use the email finder feature to scan a business page and extract contact information without manually searching through the listing.

Save Key Reviews

When a specific review stands out, select the review text and save it to a “Best Review” or “Key Feedback” column. This is useful for contractor research — save the reviews that mention specific details about quality, pricing, or reliability.

Cross-Reference with Google Maps

For thorough local research, track the same businesses on Google Maps too. Ratings and reviews often differ between platforms, and Google Maps may show different details like busy times and popular dishes.

Extract All Business Links from Search

Use the Find All Links feature on Yelp search results to extract every business URL at once. Save dozens of links to your sheet, then visit each to add details.

Let AI Formulas Analyze Reviews

Google Sheets’ built-in =AI() formula (a Google Workspace feature, not part of Add to Sheets) can automatically process reviews you save. Add AI-powered columns next to your raw data:

Business	Review Text	Sentiment	Key Praise	Key Complaint
Joe’s Pizza	“Great crust but waited 45 min…”	=AI(“positive, negative, or mixed?”, B2)	=AI(“main positive?”, B2)	=AI(“main complaint?”, B2)

Save raw review text with Add to Sheets, and AI columns score sentiment and extract highlights automatically. See our full guide on using AI formulas with saved data.
