What is Signboard?

Signboard is a web app that finds local businesses likely to pay for a website, shows what each one needs, and helps freelancers pitch them on WhatsApp and follow up. It is built for freelancers in India who make websites for clients.

Who is Signboard for?

Freelancers and anyone else who builds websites for local businesses in India. Prices are in rupees, messages are in English, Hindi or Marathi, and the WhatsApp button works with Indian mobile numbers.

How does Signboard work?

It takes you from an area on the map to a sent message in four steps.

  1. Search an area, or use your location, for one of 17 business types. You get up to 20 businesses on Free and up to 60 on Pro.
  2. Each business gets a score out of 100 for how likely it is to pay for a website. No website on Google scores highest. 70 and above is hot.
  3. One click checks a business’s current website and lists its problems first.
  4. Signboard opens WhatsApp with a message filled in. You press send, and it reminds you to follow up after 3 days and again 7 days later.

Where does the business data come from?

Google Maps, through Google’s Places API. Signboard keeps only place IDs and looks up names and phone numbers again when it needs them.

How much does Signboard cost?

Free gives you 20 searches a month with no card. Pro costs ₹499 a month and adds 150 searches, website reports to send owners, mobile speed tests and 200 AI-written messages a month. See every limit.
