In today's modern digital world, it is becoming increasingly obvious that older legacy services such as the Yellow Pages and other directories are no longer the best place to spend your advertising dollars. Any well produced website or social media page can have a much bigger effect on your bottom line than your typical yellow pages listing or service.
In an attempt to seem relevant in todays fast changing and digital world, these large companies are now trying to get into the video production and photography business. The trouble is, they hire third party digital production teams to do the work for them, then jack up the prices and charge their customers way more than what they should be paying.
It seems silly these days to pour your advertising dollars into a failed company and failed platform like the yellow pages. How failed are they? Here are a few quick links to current customer service and business reviews - including an F from the Better Business Bureau...

The list is endless and the point is made. Just do a google search for "yellow pages reviews". This antiquated old system of business advertising is just no longer relevant. Throwing money at the yellow pages is a losing proposition no matter how you look at it.
These companies do poorly in search rankings, have little technical knowledge or creative skill, are mired in big corporate waste and poor communications causing long delays and costly mistakes. On top of all this they still have the nerve to charge over three times industry standard for what amounts to an overpriced, outdated and ineffective service.
If you are serious about maximizing your company's image or presence online, and don't want to be taken to the cleaners in the process, you are much better off talking to a local professional digital content producer like Skyreach Media or any of the other local video production companies. You would also be helping support local business and local talent while you're at it!
