A key advantage of moving from multiple platforms to a common platform is that "We get scale from our online investment. We will be able to build it once and deploy it eight times." ...This will greatly increase ED's pace of product development and speed to market.

This year Local Matters was presented with, and succeeded in, the delivery of a significant rebuild of Yellow.co.nz in an unfeasibly short period of time. With zero tolerance for failure. What was impressive about the accomplishment, was not only the successful completion, on time, to budget and the resultant sizable uplift in user interaction with the new site, but the intelligence, commitment, responsiveness and continuous positive attitude of the team throughout. It is obvious that the Local Matters' team cares as much about our business as we do ourselves. Local Matters is a significant partner in enabling Yellow® to drive the digital revenues of our current and future business growth.

Local marketing on the Internet is full of opportunities, but it remains a challenge to reach large local audiences using a single media channel. In digital media, consumers are finding local businesses through directories, search engines, verticals and other local media properties. Mobile and social media are also providing new ways for consumers to find and connect with businesses. To succeed in local digital advertising, publishers should look to distribute advertiser content to all of these channels, shifting from a destination site strategy to a network distribution strategy. Local Matters, throughout its history, has emphasized the importance of content syndication in all of its solutions. It has really been a pioneer in this regard.

Trudon was seeking an innovative and effective solution to help our small and mid size customers access incremental leads from a variety of online sources, and Local Matters offered exactly what we were looking for.

The rise of search and social media means that ‘plain old listings’ don’t really cut it for publishers or their small business advertisers. In fact, those that don’t evolve stand in danger of being disintermediated by a new group of socially-based contenders. One solution for publishers that we’re impressed by is Local Matters’ ‘destination search.’ It compellingly puts together many of the best features of search and social media, while leveraging publishers’ traditional (and still considerable) strengths.
