Two Leaders in Search Space Partner to Create Turn-Key Advertising Revenue Enabler


VIENNA, VA--(Marketwire - November 17, 2008) - Web site publishers and application developers looking for a foothold in the booming local search market can now turn to ContentReach™, an on-demand query-processing application launched today by Localeze and Intelligenx. Through ContentReach, subscribers can present search results on websites and mobile applications according to their own preferences for look, feel and search logic. Developed by Localeze, the largest online content manager serving local search engines, businesses and consumers, and Intelligenx, a leading provider of search technology, ContentReach is offered as part of Localeze's core suite of services and can be used to drive traffic and enable incremental advertising revenue opportunities.

ContentReach is powered by the Intelligenx Discovery Engine® and offers online publishers the option to outsource a highly intelligent search engine backed by a managed database of premium business listings. The application filters, selects, ranks, builds and returns the most relevant results, providing users with on-demand access to as many as 16 million local business listings. These functions are seamlessly executed via a direct interface with the Localeze Business Registry, a robust relational database containing premium Localeze business listing content, including Gold Sourced content, verified by local businesses themselves.

"Developing and deploying an intelligent local search engine is a time consuming, expensive and technology intensive endeavor," said Jeff Beard, president and general manager of Localeze. "ContentReach substantially lowers barriers to entry into the local search marketplace, and is a fast cost-effective way for enterprises to deliver relevant local search results to consumers. This application will increase the ability for local search stakeholders to drive repeat user visits, build brand loyalty and thereby stimulate opportunities for advertising revenue."

"User demand for fast, relevant local results is increasing everyday and so the accuracy, depth and presentation of local search results must constantly increase," said Zubair Talib, CTO of Intelligenx. "Our partnership with Localeze is a natural one and allows ContentReach to offer search results unsurpassed in relevance and quality via a flexible platform."
