ShipServ Pages FAQs
Profile Click-Throughs Drive Awareness:
I thought I would get a lead or RFQ from a buyer in an email from ShipServ. Why is this not the case? In almost all cases, the enquiries are not routed via ShipServ. Buyers go direct to you. The power of ShipServ is its search engine, ShipServ Pages. When buyers find you after a search they will contact you in the most convenient way for them, which is usually telephoning you, going to your website, or emailing you directly.
Thousands of buyers use ShipServ to find Suppliers
I have not had any enquiries as a result of ShipServ Many buyers don’t mention – or have forgotten – that they found you via ShipServ Pages.
What is a Profile Click-Through?
After a buyer does a search we show search results, a list of 15 suppliers on each page. Then a buyer will choose to look at one (or a number of) these suppliers. They click on one of these suppliers and so “click-through” to that supplier’s Profile on ShipServ. So another name for this is a Profile View because after every click-through it means a buyer is reading your Premium Profile.

Get 6x more exposure with Premium Profile
Will I definitely get 6x more Profile Click-Throughs?
The vast majority of suppliers will see the number increase 6x in the year after they upgrade from a basic listing to a Premium Profile. Some suppliers get even more.
Which buyers use the ShipServ search engine?
We don’t know for sure because, like Google, we don’t require users to log in. But we know from web analytics than tens of thousands of users search on ShipServ every year, including the buyers who are integrated into ShipServ but also thousands who are not on the ShipServ trading platform.
