Lokale Suche in Online-Verzeichnissen weiter gestiegen

Die neueste Nutzerstudie vom VDAV (Verband Deutscher Auskunfts- und Verzeichnismedien) belegt, dass der Trend hin zur Lokalen Suche am PC und per Handy anhält.

Die mobile und die Online-Nutzung für die lokale Suche nach Privatpersonen oder gewerblichen Adressen ist gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 12 auf 38 Prozent gestiegen. Dies ergab die repräsentative Studie, die das Marktforschungsinstitut Ipsos im Auftrag des VDAV durchführte. Die Umfrageergebnisse machen aber auch deutlich, dass die Verzeichnissmedien insgesamt – ob gedruckt oder online – eine Wachstumsbranche bleiben: Auch im harten Wettbewerb mit Google & Co. werden sie von 93 Prozent der Deutschen genutzt. Selbst die gedruckten Verzeichnisse sind beliebter geworden: 79 Prozent der Befragten, und damit fünf Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr, greifen zum klassischen Buch, um Adressen zu finden.

In a press release, vdav published the results of the study.

Along with the use of printed media, directory enquiries is also popular – 37 percent of the people surveyed called up when searching for address information. Online directories placed third in popularity – somewhat more than a quarter of respondents, according to vdav, consult the internet when searching for companies, service providers and people.
