Publisher Lists
Overview
Add Verizon Customers to Your Directory
Customers expect to receive complete and accurate telephone directories for reference. Verizon helps directory publishers meet that expectation through our Publisher Lists products and services.
As one of the largest premier telecommunications companies in the world, Verizon listings come directly from our database daily. We can provide listings to you as an Extract and/or an Update. An Extract gives you a snapshot of our white pages database at a given date in time. The Updates provide you with current information on new service orders, customer changes, moves and more. You can request Updates on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
Benefits
