Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition
The Company has determined that each of its print and digital marketing services and SaaS business management tools services is distinct and represents a separate performance obligation. The client can benefit from each service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the client. Services are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Control over the Company’s print services transfers to the client upon delivery of the published directories containing their advertisements to the intended market(s). Therefore, revenue associated with print services is recognized at a point in time upon delivery to the intended market(s). The Company bills customers for print advertising services monthly over the relative contract term. The difference between the timing of recognition of print advertising revenue and monthly billing generates the Company’s unbilled receivables balance. The unbilled receivables balance is reclassified as billed accounts receivable through the passage of time as the customers are invoiced each month. SaaS and digital services are
recognized using the series guidance. Under the series guidance, the Company's obligation to provide services is the same for each day under the contract, and therefore represents a single performance obligation. Revenue associated with SaaS and digital services is recognized over time using an output method to measure the progress toward satisfying a performance obligation.

The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from the following services:

Print Yellow Pages

The Company prints yellow pages that are co-branded with various local telephone service providers. The Company operates as the authorized publisher of print yellow pages in some of the markets where these service providers offer telephone service. The Company holds multiple agreements governing the relationship with each service provider including publishing agreements, branding agreements, and non-competition agreements. Control over the Company’s print services transfers to the client upon delivery of the published directories containing their advertisements to the intended market. Therefore, revenue associated with print services is recognized at a point in time upon delivery to the intended market.

Internet Yellow Pages

IYP services include the creation of clients’ business profile, which is then primarily displayed and operated on the Yellowpages.com®, Superpages.com® and Dexknows.com® platforms domestically, and on Yellowpages.com.au, Whitepages.com.au, Whereis.com, Truelocal.com.au, Yellow.co.nz, Whitepages.co.nz, Finda.co.nz and Tourism.net.nz internationally.

Search Engine Marketing

SEM solutions deliver business leads through increased traffic to clients’ websites from Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Yelp and other major engines and directories by increasing visibility and search engine results pages through paid advertising. SEM services represent a separate performance obligation that is recognized as revenue over time following the series guidance.

Other digital media solutions primarily consist of smaller marketing services revenue streams such as online display and social advertising, online presence and video, and SEO tools. SEO optimizes a client’s website and Google profile page with relevant keywords to increase the potential for the client’s business to be found online and ranked higher in organic search engine results. Services within these revenue streams represent separate performance obligations and are recognized as revenue either at a point in time or over time based on the transfer of control.

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company presents disaggregated revenue based on the type of service within its segment footnote.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing to the Company’s clients. These timing differences result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) as disclosed on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets represent the Company's right to consideration when revenue recognized exceeds the receivable from the client because the consideration allocated to fulfilled performance obligations exceeds the Company’s right to payment, and the right to payment is subject to more than the passage of time. Contract liabilities represent remaining performance obligations that consist of advance payments and revenue deferrals resulting from the allocation of the consideration to performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations within the next twelve months. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $39.6 million that was recorded in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $41.9 million that was recorded in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2022.
