Find Sign Makers Pro: price, benefits and the website link

Find Sign Makers is our global directory of sign manufacturers at findsignmakers.com. A listing in the directory is free. Find Sign Makers Pro is an optional paid level for a claimed profile.

There are two ways to get Pro. It is included with an active Sign Customiser subscription. Or you buy it on its own for USD 100 per year.

This article gives both routes, the benefits, the website link, and the rules for renewal and cancellation.

Route 1: included with a Sign Customiser subscription

Find Sign Makers Pro is included with an active paid Sign Customiser subscription when your listing is linked and publicly verified. Not on trial or the Development plan. It ends when the subscription ends or the listing is unlinked.

How the link is made

1. The Store owner asks to link your listing from the Find Sign Makers Pro page of their Sign Customiser admin.

2. We send a one-time link to the email address on your listing. The link expires after 7 days.

3. Accept that link while you are signed in to your Find Sign Makers account.

A matching email address, a matching domain or a matching company name never makes a link. Only a claimed listing can be linked. One listing is linked for each Sign Customiser Company.

What an included member will see

After the link starts, your dashboard gives the name of the Store that your Pro comes from. It shows no price and no payment button. There is nothing to buy and nothing to pay on Find Sign Makers. Pro stays on while that subscription is active.

The merchant manages the subscription at web.signcustomiser.com/app/subscription.

A linked listing cannot buy Pro. The checkout stops and tells you that Pro is included with your subscription.

If you already paid for Pro and your Store then links

Your paid year runs to its end date. We set your paid Pro subscription to stop on that date. There is no refund. Pro then continues with the Sign Customiser subscription.

Route 2: buy Pro on its own

Find Sign Makers Pro costs USD 100 per year. No tax is added. Stripe takes USD 100. There is no monthly option. There is one Pro level.

What you need before you buy

You must have a publicly verified profile before you can buy or receive Pro. A publicly verified profile has these two things:

• A verification record. The record is the evidence that you sent to us, the method that we used and the date.

• A profile completeness score of 90 or more.

If your profile is not publicly verified, the upgrade panel shows the missing fields. It does not show the payment button. Read the verification criteria.

How to buy Pro

1. Sign in at findsignmakers.com.

2. Open your dashboard. The Pro panel is at the top of the dashboard home page.

3. Select the upgrade action. We send you to the Stripe checkout page.

4. Pay with your card. Stripe does the card operations.

The billing page in the dashboard navigation shows the same status.

Renewal

Your subscription renews each year on the same date. Stripe takes USD 100 from your card on that day. The billing page in your dashboard shows your renewal date.

Change your card, read your invoices or cancel

Open the billing page in your Find Sign Makers dashboard. Select the action that manages billing. The Stripe billing portal for Find Sign Makers opens. In the portal you can do these three things:

• Read your invoices and download them.

• Change the card that you pay with.

• Cancel your subscription.

Cancellation becomes effective at the end of the year that you paid for. Your Pro benefits continue to that date. We take no more payments. Your listing stays in the directory as a free profile. Your profile then shows no project gallery, no email address and no telephone number. You keep your dashboard, your profile editor and your quote inbox. You keep your Verified badge while your profile stays publicly verified.

This billing portal is for a Pro plan that you paid for. An included member has no Find Sign Makers billing account and sees no portal.

Refunds

Cancellation does not refund the year that you paid for. There is no automatic refund. To ask about a refund, write to us at findsignmakers.com/contact/.

What Pro gives you

• Your profile is matched first for quote requests. A quote request matches up to three manufacturers. A maximum of two of those places go to publicly verified Pro members.

• Your profile is put above free profiles on every listing page.

• A Pro badge shows on your profile and on your listing rows.

• Your website link is a followed (dofollow) link. Search engines can follow it to your website.

• Your profile shows your project gallery.

• Your profile shows your email address and your telephone number.

The Pro badge and the placement need a publicly verified profile. If your profile loses its public verification, the badge and the placement stop until your profile is publicly verified again. Your website link stays a followed link.

What a free profile shows

A free profile shows no project gallery, no email address and no telephone number. It shows a note that these show only on Pro profiles. A free profile keeps its website link, and that link is nofollow.

Is the website link a dofollow link?

Yes. The website link on a Pro profile is a followed link, also called a dofollow link. Search engines can follow it to your website. The website link on a free profile is a nofollow link. We do not promise a change to your search rank.

Find Sign Makers is not Manufacturing Partners

Sign Customisers: Manufacturing Partners is a different programme on signcustomiser.com. It is a paid advertising channel in the Sign Customiser app. It shows your company to new Sign Customiser merchants. Find Sign Makers is the public directory. A Sign Customiser subscription includes Find Sign Makers Pro. It does not include Manufacturing Partners. You can join one programme or both programmes.
