In 2013 St. Lucia Yellow Pages inked a powerful new deal with web-based search giant Google to become a part of the Google Adwords Premier SMB programme. As a Premier SMB Partner, St. Lucia Yellow Pages now provides full-service Google AdWords and display account management on behalf of local businesses, from account setup and activation, to ongoing online campaign management and optimization.

“It’s widely known and accepted that the viability of most businesses is dependant on the ability to compete in an ever changing global landscape. Our job at Global Directories and St. Lucia Yellow Pages is to provide our customers with the tools and products necessary for them to maintain a competitive advantage in their respective industries and markets. This pretigious recognition from Google is a strong testament of our commitment to always

Winning the Google Display Network and Mobile Champion award demonstrates our versatility to offer not only effective print advertising solutions but also a powerful suite of digital marketing tools that are in sync with digital marketing trends worldwide. Whilst we are honored to receive these awards, our more profound pride is knowing that our customers are the beneficiaries of this success”, said Collin Francis, General Manager – EC at Global Directories.

St. Lucia Yellow Pages Digital solutions portfolio includes full-service campaign management, detailed reporting, one-on-one customer support, and broad market guidance to help advertisers make the most of their online exposure.
