I use a yellow pages scraper called yellabot which you can buy for $50 to $80 depending on the offer. I have seen some free yellow pages scrapers listed in the downloads section.

Honestly, your best bet is to hire a Python developer to develop a quick scraper for you. That way, you have exactly what you need, customized to your specific site.

Does your site support csv file uploads ?
I just checked the plug in and it doesnt...although the developer says it will in the future..
If its a manual upload gig I would struggle to get into it....With yellabot I can scrape 200-300 listings in 30 seconds spend 5 minutes formatting the results into an excel.csv file then upload them to a directory site. That plug in looks a bit labour intensive to me
Heres there forum you might find some better answers there http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/
