So far, the people search currently services over 15 Million visitors each month and has once again set out to conquer new markets – today we are including Italy and Canada in our network.
The strategy behind the roll-out in italy was driven by the goal to provide each market with regionally relevant information as fast as possible. In each market, we form partnerships with the most prominent media partners such as newspapers and telephone directories.
That way, we can offer each country, nine so far, absolutely relevant data.
