Unfortunately, after 4 months we decided to end our relationship with Signpost. They never were able to fully grasp how to answer our calls and made several egregious mistakes. We attempted to rectify the issues multiple times, but ultimately, we had to separate. The companies CEO is a very nice gentlemen and I appreciate their willingness to resolve our issues, but it was the execution that was lacking. I'm giving them a two for effort but make no mistake this was not a good experience and a complete waste of time and money.
I used this group a couple years after my business partner passed away. The initial conversation with the rep at that time was very convincing and the onboarding was smooth sailing. Once we got the script put together we were off to the races. The actual service was very faulty and inconsistent. If anything was consistent it was the rate at which calls were being patched in with me personally way to often. It really seemed as if they were holding the conversations way to long to rack up charges and the thing that bothered me the most was that i was being charged minutes while they put potential clients on hold.
I gave them another chance in 2023 and it was even worse this time and getting ahold of customer service was nearly impossible and if I did get ahold of them I would be dumped off to someone else. The initial liason whom i worked with was never available infact I think they quit and or was terminated. When i finally decided to end this relationship it was almost impossible to get someone who could facilitate the termination. After I finally got a call from someone and finally ended terminated my account...they still kept charging my credit card. Just got one today two months after canceling. Waste of money, shame on me for giving them another chance.
This company will MISLEAD you. Do NOT fall for it. They try really hard to pursue you in the beginning to lock down their sale and as soon as they lock you down, they DO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH, TAKES FOREVER TO GET A SIMPLE RESPONSE BACK, SUPPORT TEAM SUCKS, NOT TO MENTION THE MANAGER WE WERE ASSISNGED TO IS NO HELP EITHER! And all the information they gave us in the beginning was a complete LIE. It sucks because I am the only person answering phone calls in the office right now and needed that extra support that they said they would offer. None of my phone calls were being forwarded to their team. And when I called my account manager, she changed the entire story of how their company works. Tamiko and Jeremy, shame on you. Time is of the essence, so save yours and do NOT hire this company.
This is a very bad company. They charged me for three months instead of two and took more money then was supposed to be and stealing money from contractors.
Criminal! Avoid! You will absolutely regret dealing with this company. Their product does not work and their billing practices are sneaky and deceptive. I tried to converse with them, but they don't discuss - they merely tell you how to cancel. It's laughable!
I have instituted a lawsuit against them. Please avoid them - I should have and I regret it.

I used the service for about six months. I repeatedly had scheduling issues caused by timezone differences. Customer would be scheduled on my google calendar for 130pm appointment and would be told 1130am. The last couple months, I noticed that calls would be forwarded and then I would not receive a text or email with the call details. I contacted them regarding the issue and never got any guidance or explanation as to what was happening. A previous customer of mine called me, I was unable to answer so the call was forwarded. Again I did not receive a text with call details. I received a text from the customer stating that her call was not answered and there was no option to leave a voicemail. I had suspected that was happening but did not previously have confirmation. I immediately turned off call forwarding. I reached out to cancel after using only half my allotted minutes and was told that I would be billed for another month of service with zero minutes used because I requested to cancel the same day of the new billing cycle. Absolutely ridiculous customer service and they will suck every penny they can out of a small business.
It wasn't very long into my time with Signpost that I learned their support team is completely unwilling to help you get properly set up, help out, return calls or even tell the truth.
Multiple times, vital information regarding the platform was hidden from discussions and ultimately when I decided to discontinue the service, their team was quick to cease conversation whilst continuing to charge my company.
Beware of Curtis, he will continue to charge your account to avoid company punishment.
These people won't just let you cancel, they try to scam an extra $200 out of you by saying you need 30 days notice to cancel their account or they'll sign you up for another billing cycle you don't need. That's crooked and these people are scam artists.
Hi Patrick - I hope all is well. We strive to be honest and helpful to all our customers. I checked with our Customer Success Team, and I believe they have reached out to you and found a satisfactory solution. Please let me know if you need anything else. We appreciate your business.
We signed up for the review services and received more reviews than 2 months than the company had received in its history. This was very effective.
In January we elected to use Signpost for informing our customers, creating a newsletter, as well as boosting our reviews across the internet! This has been an awesome experience... I highly recommend!
We're thrilled to hear this, Amy! Thanks for your high praise, and thanks for choosing Signpost!
I have been Signpost client for over the year. What has been outstanding experience working with Curtis my account manager. He made a great difference in appreciation of the signpost possibilities and effective ways of using it. I originally signed up to use the service to add more reviews to my google and yelp sites. Even though software could have done more flexibility, working with Curtis made the greatest positive impact. Thank you.
Wow, thanks for your excellent feedback, Aelita! We're thrilled to hear that you've had success with our platform, and that you enjoy working with Curtis and our team! Thank you for partnering with Signpost!
This is a very helpful and useful tool for our business to keep in good repor with our clients, It allows us to get ahead of any negative reviews before they negatively affect our overall rating as a business
We're so thrilled to hear this – thank you, Michael!
We had a bad neighbor ruining our Google rating with fake one star reviews. Signpost was able to get our real customers to start leaving reviews and brought our score up considerably. They were easy to work with as well. I really appreciate their work.
Thank you so much for your review, Vernon! We appreciate you, too!
I was enjoying to work with you it's been a pleasure.
You've been helpful with my customer.
Keep up the good job.
Ronen, I'm so glad we were able to assist you! Thank you for your kind words!
We switched to Signposts about a year ago, after trying out another very popular online site to try to enhance our online presence. We have been very pleased that we did. Though we did receive some complaints from our email list that they were getting too many requests (from Signposts), I recently was able to speak with a service rep and we have adjusted both WHO gets the emails, the language IN the emails and the frequency. True, I wish I had been aware of the options earlier, but I'm glad to have them now. AND, we are VERY pleased with the online reviews Signposts has generated for us!
Hi Kathleen, thank you for your kind words! I'm glad we were able to come to a resolution for you.
As a reminder, you do also have a chat option right in your Merchant Center for any questions that arise. If for any reason we can't help you there or you'd like to actually speak with someone, you do have that option for scheduling an appointment with an Account Manager.
We look forward to continuing to assist you and your business!
Signpost has helped me expand my online presence. I consistently hear from clients that they chose my company over others because of the fact that I have so many positive reviews on the internet. Who doesn't want that? They are worth every penny! Thank you, Signpost!
Thank YOU, Maureen! Your success is important to us. We look forward to continuing to help your business!
Despite producing zero results for my business they have locked us into a contract and refuse to let us out. I would never work with this company nor recommend it to anyone. Their guarantees are worthless. Find a better reputation company that actually stands by their word.
I can't say enough good things about Signpost. As a small business owner, where you put your money matters. From their result oriented platform that is easy to navigate, to the support their team provides, you will feel taken care of in your mission to achieve your business goals.
Goldie, we love to hear it! We look forward to continuing to help you achieve your goals!
We have been using Signpost for three years. We can't say enough good things about this system! It offers a neutral platform upon which clients and prospects can share their experiences with us - who we are, what we do, and how we help them. We are always telling fellow business owners about Signpost - unless, of course, they are competitors!
Hi Susan, thank you for spreading the word about Signpost! We appreciate your business!
Colby totally understood our needs. It is hard to find a company that will work as hard as this one does! They are WHY we can continue to communicate and get positive reviews and increased SALES---Did I mention increased SALES? Very happy we are on our 2nd year of being a customer!
More revenue is what we like to see! Thanks for your review, Devon!
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 Frank, Would you mind sending a screenshot of the billing statement you are referencing to support@signpost.com? 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 mia@signpost.com 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!
