TSV Group (www.tsvgroup.com), a leading provider of custom, affordable Website services for small businesses, has launched QuickSeek (www.quickseek.com), online yellow pages for local businesses that delivers accurate, expanded company information in a compelling advertising environment. With more than 16 million businesses in its growing database, QuickSeek is a local search directory that enables local businesses to distinguish themselves with engaging, interactive ads to generate leads and increase sales.

Since the emergence of the Internet, online yellow pages and search directories have been a staple of online advertising, enabling savvy online marketers to gain immediate visible promotion for their website or business. Online search directories are essentially large databases of websites and/or business listings categorized by subject and location. Like search engines, online directories deliver highly qualified referrals searching for specific products or services directly to the listings that offer those products, enabling small and mid-sized businesses to capture a larger share of the market with relatively inexpensive advertising.

"Today, most sales leads begin with a search on the Internet. For the smaller business, the Internet is a critical selling tool. It is the first introduction to your business and, in essence, has become the modern-day business card, "said Felix Rodriguez, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, TSV Group. "QuickSeek provides companies with an essential way to reach customers in need of local business information. In this way, we help our clients harness the tremendous sales power that only the Internet provides."

QuickSeek is an innovative local search directory with more than 16 million businesses in its database. Unlike traditional online yellow pages, QuickSeek offers Preferred Listings, a unique service that allows local businesses to differentiate themselves from their competition with captivating and interactive ads. QuickSeek’s Preferred Listings deliver essential business information, such as operating hours, business descriptions, email addresses, directions and links to corporate Web sites, directly to potential customers. Armed with this critical information, QuickSeek users – or "QuickSeekers" -- can make immediate and educated decisions about where to spend their money and time. QuickSeek Preferred Listings also feature TSV’s unique Poster Ad™, a vibrant full-screen design incorporating photos, images and other graphics to capture user interest. An effective marketing tool, QuickSeek harnesses the tremendous potential of the Internet to create a rich selling environment for the small business owner.

QuickSeek is leading online yellow pages directory that delivers relevant search results to users in an engaging and interactive advertising format.
