Industrial search has typically been modeled after print directories or search engines designed to serve consumers and non-industrial business to business needs. As a result, an industrial or commercial seller either has to fit into a pre-determined model of listing categories and sub-categories; or with more difficulty, alter his web content in order to effectively chase an ever-changing search engine algorithm that determines listing position based on a myriad of factors, only one of which is the relevance of search terms to web page content. If all goes well, a seller's listing generates a call from a buyer but he is often left frustrated and disappointed that he wasted time speaking to the wrong buyer.
Industrial search is changing and the future has arrived! IndustrialWebSearch.com is a brand new industrial search engine developed by Industrial Web Solutions. Built on the experience of more than fifteen years working with industrial and commercial clients, the search engine specifically addresses the concerns of industrial and commercial sellers and buyers. The application was developed to ensure accurate results for buyers and qualified buyers for member sellers, making it fast, easy and convenient to initiate communications between them by leveraging the new .tel (dottel) technology introduced this spring . The search engine is conveniently available to users on a web-enabled desktop at IndustrialWebSearch.com and a mobile phone or other mobile device at IndustrialWebSearch.mobi, making it easy for a buyer to get what he needs while providing sellers with more opportunities to reach qualified buyers.
How IndustrialWebSearch.com Is Different
IndustrialWebSearch.com is different from other industrial search engines in two principle ways: 1) it is 100% user-driven exclusively by industrial and commercial buyers and sellers and 2) by leveraging .tel technology, its main purpose is to get relevant contact information to a qualified buyer in the format he needs and where he needs it so he can make contact with the seller right away.
What do you mean by User-Driven and how does it Work?
By facilitating communication between buyers and sellers based on how buyers search and how sellers tag their content, the search engine is effectively driven by users (buyers and sellers) who both populate it and affect its search results.
Using a Web 2.0 feature called content tagging, a seller characterizes his contact information by associating descriptive tags, which are words and phrases that he feels accurately represent what he has to offer. As the seller is assigning tags, the search tool provides suggestions for additional terms based on searches previously typed in typically by industrial or commercial buyers interested in finding a particular product or service. A seller is able to learn and immediately incorporate the language used by his potential buyers to find him by adding to or changing his tags at any time 24/7 from his secure online member area. The seller can continue to associate descriptive tags to his contact information up to the maximum allowed for his level of membership.
For buyers who are searching, the system offers a number of tools to help them refine and narrow their search, guaranteeing accurate search results because they specify the search criteria. The more a buyer refines his search the more qualified he becomes to the member seller. The system thus allows for the strongest match possible between seller and buyer, increasing conversion to sales opportunities for sellers while providing buyers with relevant contact information for viable sourcing options, ultimately saving them a lot of research time.
What is .tel technology and what does it have to do with the Search Engine?
The new .tel technology was developed by Telnic. It is a new type of domain address that does not require a website. Its purpose is to simplify access to a full array of company contact information, including switchboard, SMS, mobile, fax, email, VoIP, premium number, call center, interactive voice response system, websites, and geo-locations for all departments, processes, facilities, and personnel a company wishes to make public. Most of the contact information is live, which means a call can be initiated, or a website visited, for example, from any web-enabled desktop or mobile device simply by clicking on the active link.
IndustrialWebSearch.com incorporates .tel technology because it fits into the mission of the search engine, which is to make it fast, easy and convenient for qualified buyers to search, find and connect with member sellers. For example, say you are buyer and are on your plant floor standing in front of a broken conveyor system that is integral to your operations. You have an emergency on your hands and your maintenance staff can't handle it. So you pull out your mobile phone, go to IndustrialWebSearch.mobi, and search for conveyor systems. You refine your search to include your local area and narrow your search further to include conveyor repair. From the search results page you click on a listing, read the company's Profile, decide it sounds right for you and click the phone number for the local sales rep to initiate the call. All the while you are still standing in front of your conveyor system managing what needs to be managed on the plant floor. IndustrialWebSearch.com or .mobi helps you find the right seller and the .tel makes that quick connection to the right contact possible.
