How can I filter a large directory of company links by location?

Asked By VelvetKite42 On

I'm working with several websites that list companies alphabetically, with roughly 40–50 links under each letter. I need to find companies in a particular geographic region, but the location usually appears on the company's individual page rather than in the directory itself. Is there a way to search or process these links in bulk instead of opening hundreds of pages manually?

If the location is included in the directory text or link titles, try your browser’s Find feature with city, country, or region names. However, this won’t help if the location only appears on the linked company pages.

You can extract the links and names from the page using the browser console, then save the results as CSV for review. For example: [...document.querySelectorAll('a')].map(a => `${a.textContent.trim()},${a.href}`).join('n'). You could then fetch the linked pages with a script and search their text for a list of target cities or regions. Be aware that browser security restrictions may prevent fetching pages on other domains directly from the console.

Check the link titles and award names first—some directories include the country or region after a dash, even when the main company description doesn’t show it. If that information is present, filtering the extracted link text may be much easier than visiting each page.
