MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Jun 18, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Yellow Pages Group (YPG) today announced the launch of the new beta version of the Canpages.ca website that proposes a brand new user experience based on the concept of “Life Around Me”. “Life Around Me” focuses on the user’s geographic location and life needs, within the context of a local search. From now on, consumers will benefit from a search by distance experience to save time and money while shopping locally.
As of June 18, Yellow Pages Group advertisers will gain additional visibility for free on Canpages.ca. Advertisers will benefit from a broader product set through Yellow Pages Group 360 Solution. This represents an added value to advertisers since they will garner a broader number of leads. The Canpages.ca site will continue to evolve over time as new features based on the “life around me” concept will be added, creating an even richer, personalized user experience.
“The redesign of Canpages.ca demonstrates Yellow Pages Group’s commitment to helping local businesses optimize their advertising investment by offering them greater visibility encouraging the local economy, said Nicolas Gaudreau, Chief Marketing Officer. The Canpages.ca “Life Around Me” website complements our digital portfolio, offering local advertisers opportunities to help grow their business, and is further proof of our Company’s digital transformation.”
