Very excited to finally show Stabre.com to the world. We’ve been working on it for what feels like, and probably is - ages.
Stabre is a new search engine for business that gives you full control over the way you search and -find- companies. Our goal is to fix / remedy / address all the pains and friction you experience with traditional, consumer oriented, search engines.
The way we do this can be summed up in one word: Control.
We’ve introduced half a dozen new search methods, implemented search curation through up/down voting and everything else we could think of that gives you as much control over the search results as possible.
Right now Stabre is meant for business users / usage and allows you to find businesses worldwide, in complete freedom. But it’s awesome to just explore the (business) world with as well :-)
Well this looks like a B2B product that's not for me, but hopefully you make enough money with this to expand into regular people generic search in my lifetime ;)
That is most definitely the plan! But we had to start somewhere :) Doesn't mean it can't be useful though. I've actually found my own holiday destination with Stabre by searching for very specific terms: france "pet friendly" luxury cottage camping
Right now you can search among roughly 30.000.000 businesses, more if you dial down the company algorithm strictness. The exact number of pages and websites fluctuates, obviously.
Our big hairy goal is to keep increasing our index until one day, we rival Google's size ;-)
Hah, never thought of it that way. We obviously mean search for business, as in, you search for new business - and you can search for businesses, and that it's meant for business users and usage: b2b. Sales, business development, marketing, market research etc.
We choose to focus on companies to have a manageable dataset to start with. There are over 200.000.000 websites in our database but we try and filter out all the noise, saving the searchers time.
A search engine for business :) How would you phrase it?
As the grandparent post notes, "Google for Business" sounds like the other paid-services (like email & document hosting) Google offers to business customers.
"Search for business" sounds like it could be an offering allowing businesses to add search-functionality to their own site/systems – a competitor to Swiftype, Algolia, and Google Site Search. (You're not that.)
Or maybe, "search for business" could indicate a general-web search engine that's optimized for business/professional-searches – which is a little more like what you're doing, but still not quite as focused as to mean "search that just finds businesses".
Thanks for kicking off this discussion gojomo! We just updated our homepage to be cleaner and straight to the point with a clear focus on relevance and speed when searching for companies / b2b leads! :)
Yeah... problem is, we don't want to be lumped in mindshare-wise with companies like Dr3Data, Leadiro and whatnot. Salesloft is more akin to Vainu. All these products provide lists or company intelligence. We're a search engine where you have complete freedom to search :)
How about... a b2b search engine? Not sexy either but it has the search engine in there.
Thanks for your input! We've just completely updated our homepage to be cleaner and straight to the point with a clear focus on relevance and speed! :)
Our market are the people that Google businesses for a living. Primarily sales people, market researchers, email marketeers - etc.
We compete with several markets based on different things. Search engines on one side, company database sellers on the other. Builtwith, Vainu, DataFox, Datafiniti, SimilarWeb, Index.co and many more have overlap in the minds of users with what we do.
They all message around increasing sales, streamlining pipelines, conversion etc. However from talking to companies here in the Netherlands we found that the biggest painpoints were outdated data, generic company datasets (due to lack of control in filtering) and that prospecting was such a boring but necessary timesink.
What does it do? I click search, it says to sign up. I begrudgingly make up some crap that fits the signup regex, and am then logged in. I search again, and... nothing happens?
Search for local suppliers of goods I need would be highly useful to me.
Hey Silvers - a@a.a? ;-) You'll need an actual email address that you can verify to sign up. Sorry about that! Seems we're not showing that error message in the front. Will fix it right away.
Finding local suppliers of goods is right up Stabre's alley and should take no more than a few seconds.
Feel free to email me at stan@stabre.com if you need any help.
Mmmh, can't recreate the error. Would you mind checking your console to see if there are any errors there? Or maybe logout and in again? Corny as that may be ;-)
