About Names and Numbers

Founded in 1974 by Ken Brock in Pittsburg, Kansas, Names and Numbers began as a small independent directory company built on a commitment to accurate, reliable local information. Following industry changes in the 1980’s, Ken and his wife Debbie expanded the company throughout the Midwest and beyond, growing its reach and strengthening its reputation for connecting local businesses with consumers in over 123 communities in the U.S. and Canada.

Over the decades, Names and Numbers earned a reputation for providing dependable, easy-to-use local information. Today, that same commitment continues in a digital-first world, where we connect buyers and sellers across the U.S. and Canada through innovative online digital solutions designed to help local businesses get found and help consumers quickly discover trusted local services, all in one place.

Over the past 20 years, Names and Numbers has expanded its capabilities by developing a full suite of digital products and services, evolving into a robust digital platform that helps local businesses improve their online visibility, drive traffic, and connect with both existing and prospective customers.
