Pay-Per-Call patent portfolio

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 6, 2013-- Local Corporation , a leading online local media company, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted the company patent number 8,359,049, which covers a mobile, pay-per-call Enhanced Directory Assistance method and/or system. This is the company’s third issued Enhanced Directory Assistance (EDA)-related patent that expands its reach into this high-growth area.

Issued on Jan. 22, 2013, the patent describes an Enhanced Directory Assistance method and/or system that uses wireless messaging protocols to receive keyword search data associated with a directory service request and matches it with a relevant advertiser associated with the keyword search. As part of the method, the requester is sent the directory listing for the advertiser and a callback number. Based on the second call to the callback number, it is determined that the directory listing was selected by the requester. This patent extends the company’s family of Enhanced Directory Assistance patents into wireless messaging systems, with potential uses extended to a host of potential mobile applications, such as the company’s mobile app, which was recently named as a finalist for the 2013 Appy Awards in the Search Tools category.



Local Corp.: Core IP and Growing Markets Could Mean Business

Online media company Local Corporation (LOCM-NASDAQ) reported this morning on new market research commissioned from Borrell Associates. Among its services, Borrell works to gauge ad spending in local markets. The company forecasts that the online pay-per-call ad spending sector (also known as “enhanced directory assistance”) could be worth $8.1 billion by 2018, up from a current value of approximately $1.7 billion. Moreover, business use of this form of online advertising is anticipated to more than double by 2018. As more and more online searches for local goods and services are being performed on mobile devices (as opposed to on the traditional desktop platform), Local Corp. and other industry experts believe that pay-per-call as a mobile lead generation ad model will be key to generating revenue off of mobile consumers.

So What Could This Mean for Local Corp. (LOCM)?

For the past several years, Local Corp. has been expecting the growth of pay-per-call for mobile searches and has been pursuing a competitive patent position in this space. To date, the company states that it has been issued five patents related to pay-per-call advertising solutions.

"Pay-per-call marketing is going through a renaissance period. Traditional pay-per-call marketing, which existed via TV, print and radio advertising, has been around for years. Now, though, the game is changing, as the “mobile threshold” has been broken. As more Internet traffic comes from mobile devices, it makes sense for advertisers generating leads to have their leads call in directly to a call center rather than trying to get a consumer to fill out a lead form on a mobile page and attempt to connect with them later.

However, it doesn’t have to be one way or another. We see the largest opportunity for both advertisers and publishers alike by creating multi-action, multi-channel pay-per-call campaigns. This gives the user a choice to either dial in right now or to fill out a lead form. Not only do multi-action campaigns increase performance for the publisher, but they provide the user a better experience by giving users the choice of how they want to connect with the advertiser."

"Pay-per-call marketing is one of the most cost-effective, ROI-focused forms of digital advertising that a company can run. It offers advertisers the benefit of a 100% connection rate with consumers that have already opted-in to receiving your information and/or offer. "

Increase consumers spend on their mobile devices increase = Increase of Pay-Per-Call ad spend

"As the percentage of time consumers spend on their mobile devices increase, we expect mobile pay-per-call ad spend to increase as well. It’s the best way to capture a customer on the mobile Web."

Therefore my advice: Enter Google with "James West, Melissa Davis" and you can read more about this muckraing "journalism".

"It isn’t journalism,” says Edward Wasserman, Knight Professor of Journalism Ethics at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. “Their claim to be taken seriously as journalists, if they’re making that claim, is ridiculous.”

What Happens Online Before a Consumer Ever Walks into a Grocery Store?

Customers’ mental gears turn for hours, even days, before making grocery decisions. According to Sullivan, Higdon, and Sink, shoppers under the age of 45 are researching online before they ever set foot in a grocery store—or enter the URL for online grocers like FreshDirect and Peapod. Forty-six percent of respondents in a July 2014 survey said they looked up recipes online on their computers or mobile devices before grocery shopping. A quarter researched the brand—or a particular product online—beforehand, emphasizing the importance of well-branded and easily navigable landing pages for food brands. Two in 10 respondents said they researched online for price comparisons or just to see what kinds of expenses they would undertake on their next grocery store run.

Among Twitter's data-generating properties are:

• Crashlytics: acquired in January 2013 for $38.2 million. The unit develops mobile app crash reporting and analysis for developers.

• Bluefin Labs: acquired in February 2013 for $67.3 million: it provides social TV analytics to advertisers.

• MoPub: acquired in October 2013 for $350 million. MoPub is a mobile ad exchange so it's really an ad business — but everyone knows that the value of mobile ad businesses is often in the targeting data, not the mere media exposure.

• Twitter also acquired five other small companies in 2013 for a total price of $13.2 million. Its annual report does not disclose what these acqui-hires do.

• Gnip: acquired today for an undisclosed sum. TechCrunch reports: "Gnip offers access to historical Twitter data, and the full Twitter data firehose, but it also offers APIs that provide data from other social networks including Reddit, Instagram, Tumblr, Bitly and more. Gnip says that working with Twitter as a part of the company will let it “go much faster and much deeper,” and they plan to expand support to include a wider set of potential use cases in different industries."
