BellSouth and SBC to provide Yellowpage listings to AOL

Posted: June 7, 2005

Businessweek announced today that they’ve learned AOL will use SBC and YellowPage.com information in their Internet Yellow Page product.

There has been a huge fight for local business and yellow page data between the major search and IYP providers over the past several months, and this distribution deal helps AOL to serve more local information. Their local search product has not changed much since it’s launch, and has not brought in any rave reviews.

In a move that looks like AOL is still trying to provide some competition in the local marketplace, AOL will continue to enhance it’s yellow page based data in providing value to local businesses.
