Yellow Pages
Local search is what they do at the Real Yellow Pages. With Alexa for Apps, Thryv was able to easily launch their first Alexa skill to connect voice searches to the Yellow Pages app.

Mix Voice + App
It's up to your skill when to send a deep-link request. Create the right balance between voice and app that serves your customers best.
Easy Deep Linking
Choose from four different deep link types. If you already have existing deep links, there's no need to modify your app.
Choose Where to Fallback
If a customer doesn't have your app installed, you can take them to your website for a continued experience, or take them to the app store.
Customize for Context
Customize your voice responses based on context. Provide more information for users when they ask from a locked device.
