Ingenio Acquired by At&T

Ingenio will be integrated within AT&T’s Yellowpages.com which will expand the reach and results of Pay Per Call Technology. With approximately 14 million businesses in the U.S. and less than 300,000 of these engaged in click-based online advertising, it is clear that the “one size fits all” approach to online advertising doesn’t work—especially when it comes to local merchants and service providers who do not have or operate e-commerce websites. Ingenio Pay Per Call offers an innovative twist on the traditional method of search-based online advertising: it enables you to attract millions of small, local and service based businesses to pay-for performance advertising with an online solution that delivers a phone call instead of a click. Ingenio Pay Per Call is an ideal solution for the millions of local businesses who know the value of a phone call lead—studies show that these small businesses prefer incoming calls to website clicks by a ratio of 2 to 1. With Ingenio Pay Per Call, these businesses can acquire new customers online—and pay only after they receive an incoming phone call.
