RESPOND is a community of buyers and sellers committed to providing quality service.

The online yellow pages have been showing a positive growth although the print revenues have been showing a downtrend in recent years. According to an article from Searchland classic Yellow Pages sites are going to decline, but the companies behind those sites may evolve and merge with other players so that they will survive in new incarnations.

Respond has changed its strategy and has narrowed its strategic focus to several, select industries - including financial services.

The company continues to expand and grow it's operations, including the 2008 acquisition of WiserAdvisor. This complements Respond's current relationships with most existing firms in the financial planning leads market such as Paladin Registry, a registry of five star financial advisors who are acknowledged fiduciaries.

According to a report released by New Simba Research Internet Yellow pages revenue is projected to increase 14.1% to 1.42 billion in 2008.
