Sign search on the internet


Recommended Posts

Internet sign search

I recently got a call from someone looking for a digital message center. I've gotten away from that type work, so I tried looking on the internet for somebody to refer this customer to.

What a mess!. I typed in "Sign companies in Kansas City". One of the first sites that popped up was the "YP Yellow Pages". I got literally hundreds of listings - a few sign companies, but also listings for tires, electricians, used car dealers, lawn care, you name it. Continued search.

I found various websites wanting to help me locate what I needed, but when I opened the website I got advertisements for everything except what I was looking for. I got other websites wanting to sell me a website called "Sign companies in Kansas City". I finally found one that was fairly good "DexKnows.com". But, I got not only sign companies, but T-shirt shops, printers, business card printers, bumper stickers, coffee mugs and so on. I tried to refine the search, but the message came up "Cannot find a business named "Sign Companies in Kansas City".

If I wasn't a sign guy, I wouldn't have a clue who to call. At least with the old yellow pages, there seemed to be a fairly sensible arrangement to the categories, and a guy could find something pretty close to what was needed. Now, everybody sells everything. I think you might have just as good a chance if you just started calling random numbers.

So, there's my rant for the day, it's time for my nap. Tomorrow I'll find something else to gripe about. Best wishes for all of you .

There is a company called signsearch - www.signsearch.com. THey are pretty handy, and I know lots of national companies use it. We pay $288 for the year and have always had enough Sales from the contacts to pay for itself. YP and Dex don't know beans.....

another thing that works, I go on google maps, zoom in on the area and type "signs" in the search box, all the sign shops in that area show up.
