The Local Scoop on HelloMetro

Sunday Oct 14, 2007

As many insiders have trumpeted over the years, the future of the Internet is Local. It was precisely that long-standing belief that HelloMetro.com owes their current success to.

HelloMetro.com offers users the opportunity to get to know a city through local history, attractions, real estate, jobs, Yellow Pages, local resources and other partner sites that provide the most complete and up-to-date information in their particular subject areas.

Unlike cluttered city portals that blast online audiences with irrelevant advertising information, HelloMetro.com uniquely dedicates each city site to the flavor of the individual location.

On Oct. 4, the company announced the addition of 750 new local search unique domains in additional cities around the world, bringing the company’s total website count to 1,400. With the new websites addresses, cities large and small throughout the United States and around the world have a completely localized site where citizens can access city-specific information such as weather, lottery results, sports scores, Yellow Pages and White Pages directories.

HelloMetro has also added more than 1,400 dotMobi websites to the company’s portfolio bringing its total count to 3,000 unique domains.

They attribute their success to operating the only locally-oriented informational websites in the top three city information portals on the web. HelloMetro.com has increased its traffic, among it 1,400 websites, to more than 2 million unique visitors each month.

These website traffic increases have followed enhancements for all individual city sites including the addition of free local artist photo galleries and free local original music postings. Also popular are the searchable Yellow Pages and White Pages databases.

HelloMetro has given residents from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to Belvidere, Illinois a completely local opportunity to access the internet, said Clark Scott, President and CEO of HelloMetro.com. We are finding that online audiences don’t want one big, complicated site when theyre looking for information about a city. Local content and local search is where it’s at and we are filling that need with our locally-oriented city information websites.
