250 MARKETPLACES

The Local Internet deployment roadmap

From 100+ Live Marketplaces to a 250-Marketplace Network

Local Internet Holdings has assembled an existing foundation of live marketplace, directory, business-discovery, geographic and promotional properties. The 250 Marketplaces plan organizes that foundation into a larger deployment model powered over time by shared Business Records, reusable technology and coordinated distribution.

The core story

From Individual Marketplaces to Shared Infrastructure

Today

  • +Strategic domains
  • +Live marketplace and directory properties
  • +Existing listings
  • +Distinct brands and audiences

Next

  • +One organization
  • +One authoritative Business Record
  • +Multiple locations
  • +Products and services
  • +Articles, events, offers and reviews
  • +Controlled surface eligibility
  • +Independent publishing decisions

Result

One maintained record can potentially support many authorized marketplace and information experiences without creating uncontrolled duplicate organizations or locations.

Create once. Maintain once. Publish selectively. Distribute appropriately.

Shared-record demonstration

The Shared-Record Model Is Now Being Demonstrated

A separate working implementation currently demonstrates one database supporting 25 configured surfaces. The 25-surface demonstration establishes the architectural pattern. It does not mean that all existing marketplace properties have already been migrated to or integrated with the shared database.
