Our Operations
In November 2006, Idearc Inc. (formerly Verizon Information Services) was spun-off from Verizon Communications. We operate under the trademarks Idearc and Idearc Media. Idearc continues to promote our multi-platform print and online publishing and advertising services, including Yellow Pages, White Pages, magazines, an online directory and search services, Web site design and hosting services, and directory and information services for wireless subscribers.

Idearc remains the official publisher of Verizon print directories, including:


Verizon Yellow Pages™
Verizon White Pages™
Verizon Yellow Pages Companion Directories

Superpages.com® is one of the nation's most advanced Internet Yellow Pages (IYP) and is an expert in the local search arena. Superpages.com offers:

For consumers: a wide array of business information, shopping, mapping, user reviews, and local search features
For businesses: fixed-fee and performance-based advertising options, as well as search engine marketing and Web site development and custom services

For the second consecutive year, Superpages.com has surpassed 2 billion searches, an industry first for an IYP site. We were also the first IYP to offer information services for cell phone users through our Superpages Mobile wireless information service.

Now, Idearc is rapidly expanding into direct mail with a portfolio of consumer publications and products, including:

Solutions at Hand™ magazine, a high-quality publication created through a partnership with Meredith Corp., the publisher of Better Homes and Gardens. Solutions at Hand magazine, which debuted in June in select markets, helps homeowners find creative solutions to their home improvement needs and provides relevant advertising opportunities for local businesses.
Solutions Direct™ advertising postcards, a glossy high-end direct mail approach, helps businesses reach highly targeted consumers in specific geographic areas.

Idearc is one of the largest publishers of Spanish-language directories and was the first to introduce an online buying venue for Spanish speakers.

In July 2006 we purchased Inceptor, Inc., a leading provider of search marketing technology and services that develops, implements and manages search marketing campaigns for online advertisers.

Entrepreneurial. Energetic. Creative. With a strong sense of purpose. Idearc provides an essential tool for consumers and local businesses alike. We embody the connection that is made when a buyer finds a seller, when a business finds a customer, when a problem finds an answer.
