Weblistic is an advertising agency that helps local businesses attract customers from the Internet. Weblistic’s technology identifies buyers and directs them to local companies.

Today LA-based Spotrunner, which has raised $70M says, that is paying an undisclosed amount to buy Weblistic in an all stock deal. Weblistic raised a $3.5M venture round in early 2007, led by Foundation Capital.

The Fremont, CA-based startup was founded by Ketan Shah who was EVP/CTO at YellowPages.com (which was Sold to AT&T ) and CEO, President at Sales-Watch.com (which was sold to YellowPages.com).

The deal signals a transition for Spotrunner, which focuses on TV and radio ads as Weblistic is focussed squarely on online search placement.
