Looking for an efficient way to pull a bunch of addresses from various websites into an Excel sheet. I’ve tried Power Query but the data isn’t in tables on the various sites. I’ve tried ChatGPT but it’s not pulling all addresses and the accuracy is about 60%. Any ideas?

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery.

Thanks!
