Save Craigslist Listings to Google Sheets

Craigslist listings move fast — good deals get taken, posts expire, and new ones appear constantly. Keeping track across multiple searches and categories is nearly impossible with just browser tabs.

With Add to Sheets, you can save Craigslist listings directly to Google Sheets as you browse. Build organized comparison sheets for whatever you’re searching for.

Why Track Craigslist in Google Sheets?

• Apartment hunting — Compare rentals across neighborhoods
• Car shopping — Track vehicles, prices, and seller details
• Deal hunting — Monitor items for sale across categories
• Job searching — Track Craigslist job postings and applications
• Selling research — Check pricing trends before listing

Pro Tips for Craigslist + Google Sheets

Act Fast with Organized Data

Craigslist listings get snapped up quickly. Having all your options in a spreadsheet means you can make decisions faster — sort by price, filter by neighborhood, and reach out to the best options immediately instead of re-browsing.

Extract Contact Info and Links

Craigslist listings often contain email addresses and phone numbers. Use the email finder feature to scan a listing and extract contact information automatically. The Find All Links feature can pull every URL from a listing too.

Save Listing Photos

Right-click Craigslist photos to save image URLs. Display them in your spreadsheet with =IMAGE(url) so you can visually compare options without reopening listings.

Track Your Budget

If you’re apartment hunting or making a big purchase, connect your tracking sheet to a budget spreadsheet to see how different options fit your finances.

Combine with Other Platforms

For apartment hunting, track listings from Craigslist alongside Zillow and Airbnb (for short-term options). For job hunting, combine with Indeed and LinkedIn listings. Add a “Source” column to track where each listing came from.

Save Listings Faster with Quick Row Entry

With Add to Sheets Pro, use Quick Row Entry to save complete listings in one step:

1. Open Quick Row Entry from the extension
2. A form appears with all your columns: Title, Price, Location, URL, Notes
3. Fill in each field from the listing
4. Submit — entire row saved at once
5. Move to the next listing

When you’re scanning through pages of Craigslist results, this keeps you moving.

Pro also includes:

• Multiple keyboard shortcuts
• Save to multiple sheets — track apartments, furniture, and cars in separate sheets
• Find All Links to extract listing URLs from search results

Common Questions

Craigslist listings expire. Does my saved data stay? Yes — once you save data to Google Sheets, it stays there permanently even if the Craigslist listing is removed.

Does it work with all Craigslist cities? Yes, Add to Sheets works on any web page, including all Craigslist regional sites.

Can I save from the Craigslist app? No, Add to Sheets is a Chrome extension. Use Craigslist in your desktop browser.

Can I track price changes on Craigslist? Save the listing again if you notice a price change. Craigslist doesn’t show price history, so your sheet becomes the record.
