Superpages.com Launches New Advertising Platform

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Superpages.com®, a service of Idearc Media Corp., today creates a more relevant search experience for consumers and advertisers by pairing the highest quality advertisements with users’ search queries.

Performance-based Superpages.com advertisers are now ranked on a set of criteria that includes relevancy, performance and bidding structure.

“We anticipate improvements in many of our site metrics because we are returning more relevant local search results to the consumer,” said Eric Chandler, President–Internet for Idearc Media. “Greater focus on relevancy also encourages our advertisers to be sure their ads are rich in content and include the kind of information that will result in more valuable leads.”

The new Superpages.com advertising platform promotes the most appropriate local advertisers that serve the geography and category searched; thus resulting in a better search experience. Consumers benefit as they are presented with businesses that best satisfy their needs.

“Our goal is to continue designing around the needs of our users, which will ultimately drive value for our advertisers by delivering highly qualified leads to their business,” said Chandler.

Superpages.com, the expert in local search, had more than 2.8 billion network searches in 2006. It features listings for more than 18 million small-to-medium-sized businesses in the United States, 11 million of which feature enhanced content.
