Hah, never thought of it that way. We obviously mean search for business, as in, you search for new business - and you can search for businesses, and that it's meant for business users and usage: b2b. Sales, business development, marketing, market research etc.
We choose to focus on companies to have a manageable dataset to start with. There are over 200.000.000 websites in our database but we try and filter out all the noise, saving the searchers time.
A search engine for business :) How would you phrase it?
- verdverm 7y agoSearchable company database, not sexy, but not confusing. It's kinda like salesloft? Or maybe more like discovering? I'm looking into products like this
- verdverm 7y agoWhat's your market? Who are your competitors? What is their messaging?
- dstick 7y agoOur market are the people that Google businesses for a living. Primarily sales people, market researchers, email marketeers - etc. We compete with several markets based on different things. Search engines on one side, company database sellers on the other. Builtwith, Vainu, DataFox, Datafiniti, SimilarWeb, Index.co and many more have overlap in the minds of users with what we do. They all message around increasing sales, streamlining pipelines, conversion etc. However from talking to companies here in the Netherlands we found that the biggest painpoints were outdated data, generic company datasets (due to lack of control in filtering) and that prospecting was such a boring but necessary timesink. That's what Stabre aims to solve :)
- dstick 7y agoYeah... problem is, we don't want to be lumped in mindshare-wise with companies like Dr3Data, Leadiro and whatnot. Salesloft is more akin to Vainu. All these products provide lists or company intelligence. We're a search engine where you have complete freedom to search :) How about... a b2b search engine? Not sexy either but it has the search engine in there.
- gojomo 7y agoI'd say "a search engine for finding businesses". As the grandparent post notes, "Google for Business" sounds like the other paid-services (like email & document hosting) Google offers to business customers. "Search for business" sounds like it could be an offering allowing businesses to add search-functionality to their own site/systems – a competitor to Swiftype, Algolia, and Google Site Search. (You're not that.) Or maybe, "search for business" could indicate a general-web search engine that's optimized for business/professional-searches – which is a little more like what you're doing, but still not quite as focused as to mean "search that just finds businesses".
- dstick 7y agoThanks for kicking off this discussion gojomo! We just updated our homepage to be cleaner and straight to the point with a clear focus on relevance and speed when searching for companies / b2b leads! :)
