Vienna, VA, April 18, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Innovectra, the only full service local search software and services company today announced the introduction of United Yellow Pages Local (www.unitedyellowpages.com) and Metro Directories Local (www.metrodirectories.com) performance based Interactive Yellow Pages (IYP) search sites. unitedyellowpages.com and metrodirectories.com serve the northern Hollywood and metropolitan Atlanta markets respectively and feature Innovectra's LeadStreamTM pay-for-call advertising platform. United Yellow Pages and Metro Directories join Alltel Publishing Corporation in teaming with Innovectra; Alltel and Innovectra announced alltellocal.com serving the Lincoln, Nebraska local market, December 2005.
The introduction of unitedyellowpages.com and metrodirectories.com, with low-advertiser-risk, flexible pay-per-call and pay-per-click pricing options, demonstrates yellow pages publishers’ commitment to online advertising as a way to monetize their Internet presence. United Yellow Pages and Metro Directories have been providing IYP directories on the Internet partnering with Innovectra, for several years. When faced with the daunting task of integrating a pay-per-call/pay-per-click product infrastructure, both publishers once again turned to Innovectra to leverage its full-service LeadStream pay-per-performance offering.
"Publishers continue to see performance-based advertising as vital to their success online," said Christopher Scotton, Innovectra's President and CEO. "Industry leaders such as United Yellow Pages and Metro Directories share our vision in this strategic initiative; together we will meet the demanding needs of online consumers and local Yellow Pages advertisers by providing a stream of quality leads for their businesses."
Built on Innovectra's industry-leading ActivSearchTM search engine platform, LeadStream is an integrated managed services solution that includes print-content data extraction and classification, site hosting, display ad extraction/creation and presentment, ad sales and complete back office services including provisioning, performance tracking, billing and customer care.
“Providing consumers a variety of ways to find local advertiser information is just one way we deliver what businesses want,” said Christina Swain, vice president, operations for United Yellow Pages. “Quite simply, Yellow Pages advertisers want results—and by teaming with Innovectra, we are effectively maximizing their reach to ready-to-buy consumers.”
"Metro Directories is all about guaranteeing advertiser results," said B. Scott Dorton, Metro's regional vice president, sales. "Innovectra's full-suite of search engine and pay-for-performance services can certainly show our advertisers a solid return on their investment."
These launches represent the first of many that United, Metro Directories, Alltel and Innovectra will offer in the upcoming months. Expansions are planned into the local Lexington, Kentucky market early summer with Alltel and several other local markets served by United Yellow Pages and Metro Directories.
