Researching businesses on Yelp means reading through pages of reviews, clicking into listings, and trying to keep track of which places looked promising. By the time you’ve checked ten options, you’ve forgotten the first five.

With **Add to Sheets**, you can save Yelp business info directly to Google Sheets as you browse. Build organized comparison sheets for any local search.

## Why Save Yelp Data to Google Sheets?

- **Compare businesses** — Side-by-side view of ratings, prices, and reviews
- **Track vendors** — Organize contractors, restaurants, or service providers
- **Wedding planning** — Compare caterers, photographers, and venues (pair with our [wedding venue comparison guide](/content/blog/tracking-and-comparing-wedding-venue-options/index.html))
- **Relocation research** — Catalog businesses near a new home
- **Market research** — Analyze competitors in a local market

## Pro Tips for Yelp + Google Sheets

### Extract Contact Info Automatically

Many Yelp listings display email addresses and website links. Use the [email finder feature](/content/blog/find-email-addresses-links-images/index.html) 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](/content/save/google-maps-to-google-sheets/index.html) 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](/content/blog/find-all-urls-website/index.html) 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](https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15820999), 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](/content/blog/google-sheets-ai-formulas-save-data/index.html).
