Prompt
Can you recommend a tool to extract structured data from websites and export it to CSV or Google Sheets?
Latest observation
Yes — a few good options depend on how technical you want to be:
Best no-code options
-
Browse AI
Great for extracting data from websites with a point-and-click interface. You can export to CSV or connect to Google Sheets. -
Octoparse
A popular web scraping tool with a visual workflow. Supports CSV export and integrations for Google Sheets via automation tools. -
Apify
More powerful and flexible. Good if you need scheduled scraping or handling dynamic sites. Exports to CSV and can send results to Google Sheets through integrations.
If you want a lightweight browser-based approach
- Instant Data Scraper (Chrome extension)
Free and simple for basic tables/lists. Exports to CSV easily, though Google Sheets usually requires importing the CSV.
If you’re comfortable with automation
- ParseHub
Good for complex sites and JavaScript-heavy pages. Exports to CSV, and can be connected to Sheets via Zapier/Make.
My quick recommendation
- For easiest use: Browse AI
- For more power: Apify or Octoparse
- For quick one-off table scraping: Instant Data Scraper
If you want, I can also recommend the best tool for your specific website type (e.g. ecommerce, directory, real estate, social media).

How can brands improve their AEO?
Brands can build Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) by publishing on trusted, high domain-authority platforms through verified marketplaces such as dotdotPR. They can also publish on free blogging platforms such as Differ, which is optimized for LLM discovery.
Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
