Generally, they are categorized by business type and region, containing information such as phone numbers, addresses, and industry classifications, allowing users to research various companies.

Yellow Pages are also available in an internet version. Users can search for corporate data for free via the website by specifying search criteria such as region and industry.
The search results display basic information including company or service names, addresses, phone numbers, and business hours. In some cases, additional information such as links to websites or social media profiles may also be provided.
