Internet Advertising Firm Opens Sales Offices to Help Small- to Medium-Sized Businesses in the Austin Metro Area to Connect With Customers Searching Online, While Tracking Their Online and Offline Marketing ROI

ReachLocal, Inc. (http://www.reachlocal.com), a leading provider of local online marketing solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses, announced today the opening of sales offices in the Austin market serving local businesses in Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop and Caldwell Counties. Austin is the third Texas market served by ReachLocal, which currently provides Internet advertising services through Google, Yahoo!, MSN and others to thousands of local businesses in the top 14 U.S. markets, including Dallas and Houston, and Australia.

"Austin is a world-class city recognized not only for its rich culture but also for its dynamic and technologically savvy population," said James Smith, ReachLocal's Area Director for the Southwest United States. "Because of this, Austin is a part of a global trend that shows consumers adopting Internet search as their primary way of finding local products and services online only to buy offline. ReachLocal allows Austin businesses to connect with these consumers efficiently and affordably."

ReachLocal simplifies and automates Internet advertising campaigns through scalable, inexpensive, and full-service management on behalf of local businesses. ReachLocal is able to provide campaigns for local businesses through a single platform and one budget that links their online advertising spend to their offline sales activities, which provides true advertising ROI transparency.

"ReachLocal's technology and sales force has liberated thousands of local businesses from offline advertising that was not making their phone ring with sales leads," said Zorik Gordon, Co-Founder and CEO of ReachLocal. "What we're doing for businesses in Austin is to drive qualified leads from search engines to their telephone, while helping them track the effectiveness of all their online and offline advertising campaigns, such as newspaper, Yellow Pages print, email and banner, to be sure they are getting their best return on investments."
