LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – May 21, 2010 - Acxiom®
Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today announced a new partnership with search
technology company DataBanq to provide enhanced business information on
more than 11 million businesses via ChamberofCommerce.com.
Acxiom will use ChamberofCommerce.com as the official debut of its
online reputation management solution, a service that helps small
business owners track, measure, and manage their online presence. The
ability to monitor and provide feedback to customer reviews will provide
businesses with a free online reputation report, which consists of
listings across popular online directory sites that rank highest in
search engines, reviews, ratings, and other consumer-generated content
that helps business owners harness the power of social networking.
In addition, paid subscribers will have their information updated and
monitored across thousands of sites including Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask,
Yelp, SuperPages, YellowPages.com, Merchant Circle, Kudzu, Service
Magic and mobile search applications such as Urban Spoon and Chow Baby.
“Chamberlist is a valuable tool for business owners as it gives them a
free snapshot of their online presence, the ability to monitor and
provide feedback to customer reviews and a cost-effective way to get
their business listed in all of the places where their customers are
searching for them,” said David Bayer, CEO of DataBanq and
ChamberofCommerce.com.
“A partnership with ChamberofCommerce.com gives us a unique advantage
in extending Acxiom’s small business Internet marketing solutions to
local merchants,” said Mike Brewer, sales leader, Acxiom Global Sales
Organization, Diversified Industries.“In addition, the ability for
merchants to manage their information across the web from one place is a
major component of Acxiom’s strategy to be a leading contributor in the
establishment of a universal business listing.”
ChamberList is an ideal solution for individual merchants, businesses
with multiple locations, franchises and national chains. “Most
businesses don’t even realize that potential customers are trying to
contact them only to find that the merchant’s phone number or address is
incorrect. Nothing could be more frustrating for both merchants and
customers,” said Bayer. “This partnership between Acxiom and
ChamberofCommerce.com is a great step in making that frustration a thing
of the past.”
