Easy: A network approach is critical

Page 8: Sensis on the future of print directories

Accountable: We need to change the ROI debate

• Make leads the currency in local search– Real leads, not just clicks

• Metered ads are critical

• But we need to measure everything:– Every part of the network– Every type of lead:

• Phone calls• Walk ins• Emails• And clicks as well
