Study Finds Small Businesses Waste 25 Percent Of Their PPC Budgets

Good article from Search Engine Land...

Additionally, a vendor with a large client and employee base brings an equivalent of decades of knowledge and insights across a diverse set of industries."

Internet Yellow Pages Serve As Valuable Source Of Quality Leads


When considering which local media to further engage, local businesses should consider the full impact of what the media can offer, from increased consumer reach to the high quality of leads.



Internet Yellow Pages, which include offerings such as YP.com, DexKnows.com and Superpages.com, have for years maintained considerable reach among consumers and have played an important role in driving quality leads to local businesses. The study found that nearly half of respondents (47%) said they used Internet Yellow Pages in 2012, resulting in approximately 5 billion references.



Following a historical trend, the study showed that Internet Yellow Pages generally attract consumers at the key inflection point when they are ready to contact a business and make a purchase. This is an important consideration for local businesses looking for a solution that drives real sales results.
