This product directly connects our customers' websites to consumers searching for their type of business across our partner network. "

Err. As someone obsessed with local market media and advertising, I’ve seen lots of the google ads they refer to coming up on our sites. They are ads that purport to take you to a broad category of info and instead take you to a tangentially relevant single-business page on Citysearch.

"As you know, we offer our customers a broader reach than any other local advertising provider in the market and we are committed to continually expanding that reach."

Heh. Wait until they get a load of us…
