Draft:IQS Directory

Submission declined on 17 February 2025 by KylieTastic (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

IQS Directory, developed by Industrial Quick Search (IQS®), serves as a comprehensive resource for connecting manufacturers and suppliers with OEM industrial buyers across the United States and Canada. Backed by 208 industry-specific microsites, IQS enhances search engine visibility through targeted keyword rankings, making it an essential tool for industrial engineers and procurement professionals seeking precise product specifications and direct manufacturer connections.

Unlike general search engines, such as Google and Bing, IQS delivers highly targeted results through five proprietary technology patents. Users benefit from in-depth manufacturer descriptions, including contact details, website links, RFQ capabilities, customer reviews, and visual supplier previews directly in search results. Searches can also be refined by geographic region, allowing buyers to locate suppliers within specific states.

For advertisers, IQS Directory drives high-quality traffic to manufacturers’ websites, fostering long-term business relationships and generating sales leads. IQS’ patented Request for Quote system enables buyers to reach multiple suppliers with a single submission, streamlining the sourcing process. With a unique site preview system and detailed company profiles that allow buyers to assess products before making direct inquiries via RFQ, website visits, or phone calls. By leveraging directory listings, search engine optimization, and website enhancement strategies, IQS delivers qualified traffic for a flat annual fee.

Since its founding in 2000, IQS has established itself as a pioneering "search engine aggregator," optimizing manufacturer content to achieve superior search rankings. With leadership experience from MacRAE’s Blue Book, U.S. Industrial Directory, and Thomas Register, IQS continues to innovate with multiple technology and concept patents, reinforcing its role as a leader in industrial search solutions.
