Under the terms of the agreement, ReachLocal will offer TMP clients its patent-pending online marketing platform as part of an overall service that includes complete search engine campaign set-up and management, simplification of online media buying across multiple online publishers -- including Google and Yahoo -- and robust campaign reporting with sophisticated phone call and web activity tracking.

"TMP is without question the worldwide leader in online and offline local search marketing, working with many of the world's premier brand names on and off the web," said Zorik Gordon, president and CEO, ReachLocal. "TMP's national advertisers have thousands of local and regional locations, and they want to take advantage of local search technology to use the Internet to attract local customers. Our solution makes it easy, cost-effective and seamless for TMP to get its clients' ads to the top of the local search results of the most popular search vehicles."

"ReachLocal will help us deliver a scalable search marketing solution at the local level -- making online marketing more efficient and effective for the local stores of national advertisers who want to use the Internet to drive local traffic and transactions," said Stuart McKelvey, president and CEO, TMP Directional Marketing.
