"We have been working with IQS for years, my personal experience has been about a year and a half. They have done a great job with our SEO. They have pulled apart our site and worked on the META and such. The result is that our organic search results have been increased, and more importantly, the quality of the prospects finding us has improved. We get fewer “junk” RFQ’s. The staff is always quick to get a hold of, and to act on action items. I would give them a “superior” recommendation."
Woodie Anderson, Talan Products
“"The whole team at IQS has truly helped us to see how Thomas puts on a dog and pony show in front of a bunch of smoke and mirrors. Basically they only show you what they want you to see as far as leads and net traffic goes not to mention how much we work overpaying.
As I am new blood at Jefco I feel it was much easier for me to understand and realize this, as for my partners it took some time for them to understand and get them off the proverbial bandwagon. While in the end we do still hold a listing at Thomas(A simple listing) we did make a full switch over to IQS as our developer and SEO service.
We are happy with the change and look forward to working with IQS for years to come."
"It looks like all the work on SEO has paid off. Good job!"
Bill Bockes, Johnson Electric Coil Company“We are nearly out of thomasnet, I appreciate what you guys are doing with the website and 搜索引擎优化.”
Steve Martiak, Metal Associates"Aren't you glad you kept us???".....“Definitely! Thanks!”
Jeff Perrigo, Western Container Corporation"We appreciate all that IQS is doing on our behalf as well. We definitely believe that because of your assistance, we are more ‘visible’ in the Internet world now. And our Adwords presence has been improved as well. So thanks to everyone at IQS for their help."
Bob Petro, Petro Extrusion Technologies, Inc."I love working with your company, I landed a $6,500 order from the first RFQ on the first day. We will be extending our contract and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."
Jack Robbins, Higgins Bros. Steel Drum Company ."I am pleased with the response from our IQS® advertising. We have received 4 RFQ's after 2 weeks. "
Christopher J. Stabile, Festo Corporation“Great referrer for industrial and business clients. The listing price was paid off with profits from the 1st and 2nd customer.”
Katherine Frederick, Cylinders & Valves“We have been with IQS for numerous years and am very satisfied with the results. I would recommend they're service if you are interested in bringing more customers to your website.”
Katherine Frederick, Cylinders & Valves“Janet and team at IQS are very professional, easy to work with and great at updating our environmental systems capabilities. They also assist on SEO and know digital marketing! Thank you Janet!”
Brian Cannon, Adwest Technologies, Inc.“Our decision to list with Industrial Quick Search® has proven to be a most cost-effective investment. It provides a steady stream of well-qualified leads for our company, many of which have led to new business opportunities. Based on third party tracking we employ, the IQS® listing continually proves to outperform other resources we utilize at this time. It is my intention to continue to renew our listing when it becomes due.”
Richard Davies, Dustex Corporation“Looks to me like you guys beat Thomas Register®.”
Mike Davidson, The New York Blower Co.“Ken Forging's experience working with IQS over the past fifteen years has been pleasant, positive and productive. Pleasant because IQS provides easy access to courteous, knowledgeable Customer Service, Division/Department Managers, and the CEO. The relationship between company and advertiser relies upon a mutual understanding of the company's purpose and products as well as the ability of the advertiser to place the company in strategic product listings or functions which can be readily accessed by researching the company name, Ken Forging, or products-Eyebolts--or Forgings. Ken Forging has experienced strong exposure in these areas which has generated substantial leads, inquiries, and subsequently, new customers. And that's the point of teaming-up with IQS.”
JoAnn Whetsell, Ken Forging, Mrkt/Adv Manager
"Please see [the following lead]... looks like a good lead:
'The eau is 20,000 pieces; we want our inventory to turn 4 times or more (lot size of 5,000 units or less).'
- Connie Stewart, Briggs and Stratton Corporation"
“Have a great fourth,
Thanks for all you do.”
"Aren't you glad you kept us???".....“Definitely! Thanks!”
Jeff Perrigo, Western Container Corporation“I have marketed our company by way of trade shows, magazines, mailing list, etc. and the leads generated from the Industrial Quick Search site is by far one of the best I've seen. The continued upgrading by IQS® to promote its own site has shown me that they are committed to providing me the service which was promised, quality leads. I have and will continue to refer others to IQS® for their web based marketing needs.”
John Bunch, Pacific Environmental Technologies, Inc.“My single listing on IQS® has significantly outperformed the multiple listings we had with Thomasnet. Our proposed 2006 marketing budget has eliminated Thomasnet. In addition our ability to react quickly to the RFQ function has resulted in profitable incremental sales volume.”
Jeremy Foy, Technical Air Products, Inc.“We are nearly out of Thomasnet, I appreciate what you guys are doing with the website and 搜索引擎优化.”
Steve Martiak, Metal Associates“I have found IQS Directory as a much better return on investment than Thomasnet.”

“Mike
Thanks!!!!
Enjoy working with you.”
“You know that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you realize that you made the right decision? That's where I am. More traffic and less cost. I don't know how you are doing it.”
“Just a note to say how happy I am with your performance. You are still out-pulling GS and TN combined by nearly a 3-to-1 margin. I don't know how you are doing it.”
“Hi Mike - Pretty good.”
“Mike
Thanks!!!!
Enjoy working with you.”
“Doing OK here, thanks.”
“Wow, you are good! Congrats for all your attention to detail; your company deserves this and more.”

Steve Peplin, Talan Products, Inc.“Keep those leads coming.”
Don Buwolda, ITW Drawform
“I'll tell you what saved your renewal...
This renewal wasn't saved by showing a list of how many clicks he got from the various IQS® properties, or by my personal sales effort. What saved this one was a detailed list of EXACTLY who had called him after landing on his website directed by one of the IQS® properties.... it takes about a month to prove that your properties DO generate solid sales calls.”
“IQS is sending us a good amount of referral traffic. Mike is a hoot to talk to and he gives lots of good advice for SEO.”
Sue Ross, Astro Engineering & Manufacturing
"Congratulations! Certainly deserved!"
