Online Revenues Soar for Yellow Page Publishers, Simba Report Finds

Online revenues are experiencing double-digit growth exceeding 20% despite declining print revenues in metropolitan areas for yellow page publishers.

2011-01-12
STAMFORD, CT, January 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) Although declining print revenues are abundant in the metropolitan areas for yellow page publishers, online revenues are experiencing double-digit growth of 24.6%. According to "Top 20 U.S. Yellow Page Markets 2010-2011," a new report published by media analysis and forecast firm Simba Information, challenges brought on by the green movement and delivery capabilities are driving online growth. Additionally, search giants have begun to rely on the online yellow pages for insight into constantly changing local businesses, as this is key to providing accurate search results.

The environmental movement has churned up massive difficulty for yellow page publishers. Seattle, one of the leading metro markets, faces new legislation requiring publishers to pay hefty fees, which will amount to close to three quarters of a million dollars. Court battles from leading yellow page publishers contesting the ordinance are also driving up costs, the report finds.

"Publishers are reinforcing their online offerings in metro markets because the whole environmental issue is a threat to the bottom line in every market," says David Goddard, senior analyst and lead author of the study.

The report finds that other issues are also driving online growth, including the challenge of delivery to high-rise apartment buildings, which are now mostly wired for internet access.

"The top metro markets have always been the cash cows of the yellow pages world, topping $2 billion in early 2008 or 11.7% of total revenue; that was the high point for metro markets, as they look to settle around 10% of total revenue by 2012," said Goddard. "Online revenue is likely to offset the print decline in three to five years when the markets will become stable."

The strength of the yellow pages industry has always been in linking buyers and sellers at the time of purchase through the information in its databank. Search giants are now partnering with yellow page publishers to gain access to that databank, as it increases the relevancy and accuracy of search results.

"Search giants, such as Google and Yahoo! lack the capability and the desire to have a team on the ground, adjusting search results for the bakery or dentist that just closed shop," remarked Goddard. "The yellow page companies in these metropolitan markets have always tracked these changes and will continue to be the key holders of that vital information."

Simba Information's report, "Top 20 U.S. Yellow Page Markets 2010-2011," includes revenue forecasts, industry usage figures and comprehensive profiles of leading companies, including AT&T, Yellowbook, Ambassador, Supermedia, Dex One and more.
