    I would NEVER recommend Signposts! Signpost's fee is very expensive for a small company like ours, so I had to cancel the service - or at least TRY to. I contacted them the day after they billed our card for another $2,000, and I was told that we were automatically on the hook for another year, with no exceptions and no recourse. Very greedy and desperate; this doesn't seem like the way to keep happy clients.

    If your target client or active client sells on Amazon it's a game changer. You will come to the table as a brand expert if you utilize search engine prior to client interaction. In sales and marketing, it's our go to tool. I use it to craft professional brand market share analysis as "lead magnet" with great success

    Pros
    Signpost
    • The best feature that I like the most and have been using for some time is their marketing tool. Signpost makes marketing an easy task. It has enhanced our productivity.
    • As I did things manually in the past but now Signpost has made this very much easier for me to just trust their marketing tool to do marketing according to the algorithm.
    • It helps me to have more organic views on the platform and more positive reviews on the newsletter.
    • The automated system asks for reviews from the customer which makes it even more helpful in changing and advancing new things.
    • It also changes our approach to the work and with the automated extremely functional setup it increases our positive reviews which is good for the organization.

    We utilize Keepa and Amazon Seller Central to help with our research and inhouse AI software to level the playing field. I start with SmartScout to qualify the brand. I also prepare for introductions and discovery calls with the tool. It has been a great help prior to trade shows to funnel the attendees to a solid target list

    • The support team is very professional. I had problems while using Signpost in the past and I contacted their support on that matter.
    • They responded very professionally, listen[ed] to each and every problem related to the work, and doing hindrance to the flow of work with the full-fledged solution to the problem.
    • This makes me more confident in using the platform more in depth.
