Badge ads prominently appear on every web page within our site.(shown here on front page)
-------------------------
Badge ads are geography based. Advertisers can focus on national, state, and multi-city markets.
Business Listings
A Variety of A Variety of Advertising OptionsAdvertising Options
Every business is different.
Business Listings
The traditional yellow page organization displays business listings in an organized manner (alphabetical by business name). These listings are both proximity and SIC based (I.e. a particular business will be categorized as a sporting goods store, located in a particular city).
By purchasing any variety of advertising enhancements, a business will stand out from its competitors and gain the attention of the consumer.
The logic fits for most businesses. However, for those with multiple locations (especially national companies), no brick & mortar storefront, unique or difficult to classify business description, the traditional advertising method does not achieve advertising goals effectively.
Badge Advertising
Two General Types of AdvertisingBoth are effective but the fit depends on your business’ organization and marketing strategy.
Badge Ads
Badge ads open up an entirely new realm of possibilities for companies desiring a visual advertising option outside the parameters of traditional listings. Badges are perfect for companies wishing for wider visibility across geographic and industry boundaries. See next page for more details. See next page for
product description.

Badge ads allow companies to specify the geographic levels they wish to reach. These ads are purchased according to coverage levels:
National: ad appears in each state searches.Multiple States: ad appears in up to 10 (any combination) state listings.Statewide: ad appears only in one state’s business listings. Multiple cities: ad appears in multiple cities business listings.
Badge ads are further targeted according to SIC or industry specific classification:
Open (No SIC): ad appears in any search performed according to the identified geographic level. Open Badges have front page placement continuing throughout the website as long as no detailed ads appear for in the searched location and SIC.1 SIC: ad appears only in searches for the specified industry classification.2-5 SICS: ad appears only in assigned SICs.

Placement & Targeting
Badge ads are positioned on every page within our site, to the right of the business listings. They provide a more visual (full color, graphics, pictures and even animation) advertising opportunity. The logic also provides companies an opportunity to advertise in related industries. For example, florists can place a badge ad in the SIC identifying “Gift Cards” or “Gift Shops”. A florist may also wish to place a badge ad in an “Open” or no SIC level which will allow the ad to appear throughout the website in a specified geographic region during an holiday season, just before Valentine’s Day, or for more coverage during an advertising program.
The Logic and the Options
Companies that Purchase Badge AdsCompanies conducting business in multiple cities, one state, multiple states, and nation wide will find that Badge ads have more advertising power than listings. Companies offering several different services can easily cross-industry advertise with only one Badge Ad--hitting multiple markets at one time!
Badge Ads Product Levels
The Logic & Progression of Badge AdsHighest priority is reserved for ads that have the most focused advertising target. For example, ads targeting one city will show up (of course, when a search is done for that city) first ahead of statewide ads. As the number of highly targeted ads increase, broad-targeted ads are bumped down the line.
