As more content is moved behind paywalls, free Web alert services are no longer delivering all the key pieces of content relevant to your business. Only combing the free Web virtually ensures that some content will be missed. That’s why more and more organizations are choosing paid search providers like LexisNexis® to deliver the relevant content that matters to them.

1. We take you beyond the paywall …
to deliver more relevant results.
LexisNexis®
vs. the open Web
As more content is moved behind paywalls, free Web
alert services are no longer delivering all the key pieces
of content relevant to your business. Only combing
the free Web virtually ensures that some content will
be missed. That’s why more and more organizations
are choosing paid search providers like LexisNexis®
to deliver the relevant content that matters to them.

2. Paywalls? No Problem
Free Web search engines are not comprehensive. They can only provide results and alerts on content available on the
free Web that has already been indexed. But with LexisNexis you:
• Receive comprehensive results. We aggregate premium, licensed content from news, business, legal and public
records sources, plus the open Web, giving you the most comprehensive results available with a single search.
• Experience total transparency. We show you the direct source of each piece of content, so you know the
exact author and location from which it originated.
Forget questionable sources. We curate and manage content for you.
Reduce your risk of accessing questionable, spoofed or dated material. Now you can rely on content selected by our
editors for relevancy and authority. When you tap into LexisNexis content, you get direct access to full-text documents,
not just links, summaries or abstracts.
• Get content licensed from the publisher. Our content comes directly from the publisher, ensuring editorial
integrity and source accuracy. This also means content is archived, enabling you to access it at a later date.
• Discover more relevant content. Our open-Web content is handpicked by LexisNexis subject experts based
on editorial quality and the influence and reach of each author. It’s regularly updated, indexed, and archived,
so you can be confident that you have up-to-date information.
Get fast, easy results—and minimize risk.
LexisNexis provides both authoritative content and superior search tools and delivery options to ensure you get the
content that matters most to your business—when and where you need it.
• Get significant added value in your search results. LexisNexis adds value to all documents through text
normalization, applying our LexisNexis SmartIndexing Technology™, and standard delivery options, ensuring
it’s as easy as possible to find the results you’re looking for.
• Avoid public Internet security risks. When you do sensitive research on LexisNexis (M&A, competitive analysis,
client prospecting), you won’t leave a public trail indicating where you have been and the sites you have looked at.
Support you can count on.
Free Web search engines don’t regularly communicate with users to let them know of changes that may affect results.
At LexisNexis, we listen to our customers and make updates and enhancements based on customer feedback, and
provide updates on changes based on impact level. In addition, you receive:
• On-call support. Get access to our customer support team 24/7/365.
• Training and step-by-step guidance. Our consultants and support teams can help you set up alerts, conduct
more effective research and provide ongoing training.
