Overview

Local newspapers have been at the heart of local communities for well over a hundred years. Traditionally, they have been the best way for local businesses to connect with local customers – but then came the internet…

Online search engines are many people’s first stop when looking for information, but they can often produce more questions than answers.

The Directory is a business directory which helps you find the best local business for your needs.

Features

• Find a business or service, be it a restaurant or a 24 hour locksmith, by searching for a business name or business type at a location.

• Results can be filtered by name, distance or relevance, ensuring you get the best results as easily as possible.

• Once you have selected the business you can contact them by email, phone or by visiting their website.

Neatly integrated into a publisher’s website, and using data from within the core of ABS, the business directory means the perfect business for your customer is only one click away.

The directory is managed and updated dynamically from ABS, which means that any up-sell packages or accounts added to the system are updated and published to the directory automatically. Importantly, once in the system, any up-sells are proactively managed and are presented for canvassing as they approach their expiry date.

Full integration with Google Maps is also provided, delivering distance and direction information.
