The demise of Yellow Pages is a direct result of directory search moving online.

A number of directory services have sprung up offering free standard listings with enhanced listings for paying subscribers.

For these subscribers, Website Monitor is an ideal way to check if you are really getting value for money.

Website Monitor will tell you just how many visits you are really getting from such services and the quality of thoses visitors. You can then work out how much they really cost you.

Not all clicks have the same value, so Website Monitor will also tell you the relative value of these clicks.

We have had clients effectively paying over £20 for per click in an activity were equivalent quality clicks can be as little as 10p with Google Ads.

Except for a dwindling band of app users, most of yell.coms's traffic is coming through Google Search. We can work on your local search to get a bigger slice of that traffic first.

Yellow Pages might have worked as recently as a few years ago, it struggles now, they have slick marketing and tout they are "Google Partners", but this is a well that is drying up fast!
