News Release Details

Seattle – December 9th 2010 – Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHX) today announced the availability of a new white paper focusing on digital marketing for small businesses, "Three Things Small Businesses Really Need."

The white paper discusses the challenges and opportunities presented to small businesses in light of the rapid changes in the way consumers are interacting with information online, and how these changes are forcing small business to re-think their approach to marketing.

The paper goes on to reveal the key elements of the small business marketing product set of the future, with a specific focus on:

1. Lead Generation, and the significance of phone calls in the small business marketers' toolkit.
2. Online Presence Management. How small businesses gain an information advantage through careful management of their online footprint.
3. Relationship Management, and the role technology is playing in enabling small businesses to open up new dialogue with their customers.

"There has been an explosion of ubiquitously accessible information and content about local businesses in recent years which has put small businesses on the defensive," explains Matthew Berk, Executive Vice President of Product Engineering for Marchex. "The winning small business marketing solution of the future needs to address this phenomenon, while delivering the lifeblood of new leads, especially in the form of phone calls, in simple and concise products that the small business owner can easily understand and use."
