'''Industrial Quick Search'''® provides online business listings and resources for North American industrial, commercial and original equipment manufacturers and service providers. As part of their services, IQS offers the IQS Directory, a searchable database of over 1,700 specific product categories, and Industrial Quick Search’s more than 200 product domain sites. Both the IQS Directory and Industrial Quick Search’s domain sites offer targeted vertical product search, using [[search engine optimization]] to raise directory site rankings on search engines such as Google and Yahoo in order to increase listed companies’ exposure to site users.
== History ==
IQS was founded in 2002 by Mike Meiresonne, an experienced business-to-business Salesperson and a former Sales Representative for [[Thomas Register]]. The company quickly rose to become a primary competitor in the online directory industry and has kept up with larger service providers<ref name="InfoCommerce Report">[http://www.industrialquicksearch.com/PDF/Bigcompetitorsapproach.pdf IQS Takes on Big Competitors with a New Approach] originally published in ''InfoCommerce Report'' February 2004</ref> such as [[ThomasNet]], [[GlobalSpec]] and [[KellySearch]]. IQS originally used its individual domain sites to gain visibility on search engines, before Google had developed the capacity to spider directories and databases; when Google’s search capacities increased, the IQS Directory was introduced to enhance online visibility.
== Products and Recent Service Additions ==
As a part of recent site renovations, IQS launched the IQS Newsroom in January 2009 as an additional resource to its users and advertisers<ref name="Press Release">[http://www.i-newswire.com/pr264538.html i-Newswire]</ref>, offering industrial press releases, white papers, product articles and web marketing blogs. Companies advertising with IQS may publish press releases and industry white papers through the IQS Newsroom.
A patent was awarded to Mike Meiresonne <ref name="patent">[http://www.iqspatents.com Patent #7,483,872], IQS Patent</ref> in January 2009 for Industrial Quick Search's vertical search methodology and other listing features. Features specified in the patent include a four line company description, graphic rollover “preview” ads, contact information and company website hyperlinks for each page one company listing. Also included in the patent is IQS’ “Request for Quote” submission form, which allows users to request price quotes from selected businesses or from all companies listed under a product category simultaneously.
