Eagle American Realty Group joined Signpost almost a year ago. In that time, Mia has done exactly what we wanted! She captures contacts effortlessly and follows up with them automatically. Blast emails or texts for our new listings, open houses or prior clients are amazingly simple to create and look fantastic. The things that can be done on the signpost platform are cutting edge.
Signpost is not just a CRM, it is a creative assistant. Highly recommended!
Since hiring signpost less than 2 months ago are Google reviews have increased 150%! Great value as reviews are a key driver in getting your Google listing to the top!
Hi Jacob, we are delighted that your Google reviews have increased so much, and we look forward to continuing that trend!
The workers are amazing to deal with. Always friendly and knowledgeable. They have helped us drive a lot of new reviews and get our name out there. They have even helped us to get a few new customers as a result of their efforts. So what is the downside? Sometimes they send a bit too much to the customers, which can irritate them and they don't have a way to delete erroneous ratings. We have a guy pretending that he is us and his customers are flocking to Signpost and leaving derogatory remarks on our account! People we never heard of are leaving 1 star ratings! We finally had one guy come forward and explain that this man was claiming to be us. We called Signpost yet we cannot get the 8 or so bad reviews off of our account! No way to delete them! Signpost said, "Don't worry the public wont see them!" However, these bad ratings bring my overall score down. If they continue coming in I will go from a 5 star company to a 1 star! Not good at all. If they could just fix this issue they would get upgraded to a 5 star from me!
Hi Melody, we're so sorry to hear about your trouble with a fellow business owner. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over how outside review sites moderate incoming reviews, but luckily any negative feedback sent to your Signpost account is not visible to the public and will not affect any public ratings of your business! We're glad we can continue to drive great reviews from your real customers in the meantime to boost your online presence!
Signpost has increased my Reviews by 500% and I am able to respond to a couple of customers that were dissatisfied within minutes instead of days or weeks if I didn't see the review. It has helped me turn upset customers into Happy Customers!
Hi Ken, we're excited to hear how much of an impact we've had on your reviews, and are happy you've had the opportunity to touch base with your unhappy customers as well!
Signpost has helped my business go to the next level. Flooring is a big ticket purchase in the home. Having positive reviews increases customer confidence to visit our showroom and purchase from us. They have great people and systems to help your business grow!
Hi Matt, we're so glad to hear about your increase in reviews and showroom visits!
It's ironic that this company helps get positive reviews on Yelp and Google, and they do not show up on either site, b/c if they did, the negative reviews would kill them! I feel they have terrible business ethics.
I told the sales gal up front that I, a sort of dinosaur that has had my biz since before the Internet or cell phones, do not collect emails, and don't plan to. She went of to say they scoop them off the Internet, that they are linked to the cell phone they called you on! That that is how they build a list. That's just one of two silly things she told me.
Later I found out that isn't true, and I have to get them to opt-in, which I won't make my customers do. For my biz, it would almost be as odd as having a taco shop try to collect your email on the drive through, at least from my point of view.
And I didn't read the contract, which I signed, which has a 50% penalty. The sale's girl, of course, never mentioned a word about this penalty. Point is, I paid a lot of money, and got nothing. Think I'm happy?
Should I have read that contract? Of course. But why have a contract with a penalty like that? How does it benefit the customer? Why not vet people, and make sure the product will fit their business model? I just can't do business the way they do.
Hi Andrew, we apologize for the confusion with your sales representative—please rest assured that your concerns have been addressed. We are glad that our management team was able to resolve your concerns to your standards during your call on Friday!
We are very pleased with how easy it has been to get the Google reviews we wanted. This is the reason we signed up with Signpost and it is working extremely well. Happy clients are posting high ratings and writing great reviews. I like the easy access to our dashboard to see If any clients have a complaint or are just feeling neutral about our services. We are able contact them directly before the issues escalate and they appreciate our timely response.
We did have a hiccup in the beginning that is probably unique to our situation and the difficulty anyone has, even Signpost, with dealing with the monolithic Google. We have three offices (we do not have storefronts) across two states and initially decided to consolidate into one location so all the reviews would come to what is really one company. In hindsight this was not the best decision due do how Google uses pinned locations and it took a while to resolve this issue as we waited to see how Google responded to this change. But to Signpost's credit, once we decided that we wanted to switch back to three unique sites, the transition was smooth and the reviews were successfully redirected to one of our alternate locations. And the reviews just keep coming in! Thank you Signpost. We are getting exactly what we wanted when we hired Signpost.
Hi Jill, we're so happy to hear how well your experience has been going so far! We're sorry your Google listings took some time to figure out, but are happy that we could help get them set up the way you wanted!
This company is the worst! Terrible service! I'd give a negative 10 star if I could. They lie and send correspondence to the wrong email to try and cover themselves. Don't use this company. They caused so much drama and stress to our office.
Hi Jenny, we’re sorry to hear about the confusion regarding your account and contract, and are glad that you were able to touch base with your Account Manager to discuss them. It looks like we updated your email contact information as soon as you informed us that your previous email address was no longer in use, but if you are still not receiving emails, please let us know so that we can update it in your account!
Ignore the bad comments, let me give you facts about signpost from my personal experience. I was contacted by these guys and I thought wow another high pressure company out to make a buck. Boy was I wrong, yes they are a bit high pressure and yes they are out to make money. But the excellent service and expertise on how to run and operate their product make up for it. They walked me through how to set up my account and how to use their direct marketing tools. Now I can get my business out to hundreds of people who may have never heard of us. A couple of clicks and my weekly specials or just marketing materials go out. It is professional and clear to understand, we have pave personally seen a 15% increase in just the first couple of months. Now we just opened a new location and plan on using Signpost for our marketing needs.
The staff is so professional and willing to always help, even though you may have a sales rep anyone on the phone can help.

Hi CJ, we are delighted to hear of your business' 15% increase! We will do everything we can to continue to deliver on your marketing and revenue goals.
As a new subscriber to signpost I was immediately impressed as to how a few simple steps made my job easier. I have access to all feedback and promotions and can change anything easily. Would recommend to anyone who is a multitasker and can get on with other things and let MIA take over.
Thank you so much for your review! We're glad we can make your customer relationship management and email marketing processes more efficient so that you can focus on your other business operations.
I did not know about this service until I needed it due to an unfortunate circumstance I found my self in with a painting contractor. Ryan was very helpful and quick to respond.
Hi Yvonne, thank you for your review! We're happy we were able to help you out!
Signpost has far exceeded our expecatations thus far! During the two months we've used them we've gained 45 five star reviews on Google, which we were able to selectively point reviews to, and north of a hundred (all 5 star) feedback submissions, which helps me know we're doing a great job. We also love the ability to create contact lists and campaigns for targeted marketing, service updates, and event notifications. They've provided an amazing tool that we've only dipped our toes into but have already seen amazing results with. The customer service has been phenomenal from start to finish. I highly recommend this company!
Corinne, thank you for the kind words! We would love to work with more businesses within your network. Contact your Account Manager if you know of any other businesses like yours that could benefit from Signpost’s services!
Excited about introducing SignPost to our company for marketing in order to obtain reviews and marketing campaigns to our clients. So far we have had great feedback. Takes away from having to have someone dedicated solely to this. I highly recommend to all business.
Thank you, Miguel! We are so happy to see your comment and to be able to help you market your business! We look forward to continuing to work together.
I have only been on board for 2 weeks and the folks at Signpost have been very professional from day ONE! Kudos to team signpost!
Louis, thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We look forward to continuing our relationship—feel free to contact us with referrals or for account support anytime!
As a new client, I truly appreciate the time they spend with you on boarding. They answer all questions and make sure you are comfortable moving forward.
Hi Tina, we're so happy to hear about your great experience so far. Don't hesitate to reach out to our Support Team at [email protected] or (855) 606-4900 if you have any questions!
The customer support is solid as they will work with you to get the results you're looking for. While every approach will not work for every company, they will come up with alternatives to help you get the feedback and reviews you need from customers.
Norm, we appreciate you taking the time to write this review. We look forward to continuing our relationship and delivering for your marketing needs!
I moved from one state to another and was discouraged as I tried to re establish myself as a massage therapist. All of the clients I left behind were wonderful at referring their friends to me. In the new location no one knew me and I had no way to set myself apart from the hundreds of other massage therapists. Eileen contacted me, explained the service and how they gather reviews from past clients. Because of these reviews I now have a new presence on the Internet where I live and am gaining momentum and hope for the future. Thanks Eileen! Eileen is also very patient with the learning curve for the computer skills required to fully utilize the service. Great Customer service team as well.
Jana, we are delighted to hear of your business' increased reviews! We will do everything we can to continue to deliver on your marketing goals.
I always knew the importance of feedback and reviews but doing something about it overwhelmed me until Sign Post called. I'm impressed so far and it hasn't been a week. Looking forward to great results.
Thank you, Dot! We look forward to continuing to drive feedback and reviews for your business moving forward.
We just signed up last week with Signpost--our account manager and everyone else we have interacted with have been knowledgeable and very accessible about everything related to their products. We went all in-- we now have digital ads, marketing campaigns, and we're already starting to see result. 6 leads came in just today! We're hoping to use Signpost on our affiliated other companies in the future.
Thank you for your review, Jack! We're happy that your account is performing so well already and can't wait to continue driving great outcomes for your business!
Answer: NOT! I got a less than 5 reviews ON google from past clients through signpost. I got zero new leads through their campaigns and emails.
Answer: Hi Fred, Occasionally we get some unhappy customers, but we have over 7000 happy customers. Feel free to check out the happy ones here: http://www.signpost.com/testimonials/
Answer: You can't 1year contract if you want to cancel you need to pay the rest of the months in one lumpsum.
Answer: Hi Genevieve, we have not analyzed the results of our restoration industry merchants specifically, but we have observed great results for merchants in the home contractor industry!

Answer: Hi Frank, Would you mind sending a screenshot of the billing statement you are referencing to [email protected]? There should be a complete number listed on all of our communications. In the meantime, the best number to reach us during our business hours of Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm EST is (855) 606-4900 -- our support team would be happy to help you out!
Answer: A contract is reuired, you must pay up front, and they will not allow you to cancel. Stay away!
Answer: Signpost takes a lot of work to reap any benefits; it's not as easy as the pushy sales staff would have you believe. The real problem occurs when you try to leave. They require payment up front (in our case one year), and will not refund anything when you cancel. This is a very shady company, and I would recommend staying away!
Answer: Dave W's [Signpost Rep] above, is a classic example of the problem with Signpost; you can't just cancel the service. They bill you in advance, will not refund what they have billed (even if you quit using the service), and make it very difficult to cancel. You can't just click a button, or send an email, you have to endure a long sales pitch by a tricky, and very aggressive, sales associatte. Best to just stay away! QUOTED FROM DAVE'S RESPONSE: Dave W. [Signpost Rep] On 7/7/17 Hi Albert, Thanks for submitting! You can contact either your sales representative or our support team directly. Our support team can be reached at [email protected] or 855-606-4900. They will connect you with your Account Manager, who will offboard your account with you.
Answer: Good luck John. You will have to endure a long sales pitch from a very pushy sales associate. In our case (sounds like others had similar situations), we had to cancel 30 days before the contract automatically renewed. I contacted Signpost the day after their $2,000 charge appeared on my credit card, and they refused to budge. Nothing... Best to stay away from Signpost!
Answer: Dave W, it sounds like you a have a really terrible job, trying to justify the way Signpost treats clients. In my case, I'm out $2,000 with no recourse, for a one year contract that I don't want. Shame on you!
