In fact, our team hit the streets of Melbourne to randomly ask people around on where they go if they are looking for some information. Here's a snippet of what they told us back then: The Survey Results Q1. How often do you use the print version of the Yellow Pages? * 7.69% use it regularly * 23.08% once a month * 15.38% once a year * 53.85% never use it Q2. How do you search for products and services you’re looking for? * 92.86% use Google.com * 7.14% use Yellow Pages Respondent Quote: “I reckon the yellow pages is obsolete, why would you spend money on the yellow pages when they’ll just as easily find you on Google.” Q3. How often do you use Google? * 100% use Google.com everyday Respondent Quote: “If I need information I go straight to Google.” That says something about the future of YP isn't it?
