Our company has utilized Thomas for our marketing needs for many years, more recently adding the turnover of our website to them for a redesign, SEO, and continued maintenance. We have been well pleased with how both our marketing and website have been handled. The team working on our website has been extremely patient and has ensured we are involved with all aspects of the services they provide. We are pleased with the results with their work.
Nancy is our Thomas representative and is completely amazing. She always tirelessly goes above and beyond and is sincerely invested in the success of our business. Nancy works her magic regularly translating the needs of our small company into strategic, creative, and effective marketing strategies, maximizing both our time and financial investment in Thomas' services.
We would highly recommend Thomas both for marketing and website services.

As a one-person marketing department, I rely heavily on the Thomas team, and I couldn't be more pleased with the support they provide. Their expertise, responsiveness, and genuine willingness to help make a tremendous difference. I know I can come to them with any question or request, and they’ll go above and beyond to deliver what I need. The value they bring to the table is truly appreciated.

I'm the co-founder of Ward's Manufacturing, a metal fabrication contract manufacturer, whose customers are other manufacturers. Thomas has been a great way for manufacturers to find our company and learn about our services. We secured a purchase order within the first week of being featured on the platform.

Thomasnet has been a cost effective way for me to market my company for many years. They are very focused on manufacturing and help me target customers that with needs that match our capabilities. They stay up to date with new technology and help me make the most of my advertising investment. My rep, Ed Carvalho is very experienced. He understands my goals and provides valuable input on a regular basis. Ed and his team are always responsive when I need assistance or want to implement a change. Ed was recently able to implement a change that will cut down on spam inquiries, saving me time and increasing security. Overall, I am very happy with Ed and the Thomasnet team.

Working with Thomas Marketing Services has been a game-changer for OSE Optics. Their team put us in an excellent position to not only generate high-quality leads but also to turn those leads into genuine business opportunities. Their approach was strategic, personalized, and incredibly effective.
They also helped us develop the right branding identity—one that truly reflects who we are and where we’re headed as a company.
A special thank-you to Tim Camp, who was instrumental in bringing everything together. His expertise, responsiveness, and insight were key to ensuring the process ran smoothly and successfully.
Highly recommended for any business serious about growth and credibility in the B2B space.

Like many reviewers said, they lock you into a year contract because they know for a fact nobody would make it past month 3. Insane to pay over 250 bucks a month for a "listing" on a website very few people use anymore. I literally get more page clicks for free from google and google my business in a single day then i did from them in 6 months. But like me, plenty of people are desperate and fall for their incredibly well done sales pitch. The salesperson straight up lied his $#*! off on how we were ranking on google. He quickly diverted when i called him out. When you seem to be on the fence on whether to sign the contract or not they hit with the age old, "Oh we can't squeeze you in this month anyways we are full but i'll call my supervisor and see if we could make it happen" Yeah, i feel so dumb falling for that. When you complain to them they do pretend to be apologetic and will offer premium "upgrades" to your listing for free. Spend your money on a website or literally on anything else instead. I will say, the WebTrax tool is pretty interesting, but doesn't really result in any sales.
The only thing ThomasNet is used for anymore is companies using it to solicit YOU and contacting YOU to sell you something. Please, don't give these snake oil salesmen a single dollar. They are riding a sinking ship and milking it as long as possible.

We had an important customer complain that the Applications section of our website was not operating. We alerted ThomasNet and got an immediate response back from Isaac the team leader. Very quickly the team found the problem, repaired it and reported back on the fix. I find ThomasNet is very customer-focused, knowledgeable and innovative in their approach to problem solving.

We have been Thomas customers since the early 1960's . Thanks to Thomas Publishing we found customers, in Germany, Japan, south Korea and now have customers all over the United Kingdom, Asia, and even the U.A.E. In the early 1990's Thomas Publishing with Top Floor developed our first website. Now we need help with our new website's SEO.
We trust Thomas will get us back on top of search results for our industry world wide!

Our company’s experience with Thomasnet was exceptional. From the initial meeting with Michael Lodewick, our Key Account Executive, we knew that Thomasnet would be our choice. His ability to connect with our needs, learn about our company, and deliver perfect solutions impressed us. Michael allowed us time to evaluate the presentation and make our choices without feeling pressured. His experience, knowledge, and friendliness won us over.
Our Implementation Project Manager, Josh Wrobel was influential in getting us to cross the finish line. Josh is an excellent communicator and provided a timeline to keep us on schedule. We have been beyond pleased with every aspect of the website rebuild.
Even today, the customer service team acts quickly on any requests that we send in.
Thomasnet plans, executes, and delivers. Everyone at Thomasnet has been a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Thomasnet for your next project.

We've been advertising with ThomasNet for over 10 years and we get very good results. It is our main source of leads. Be sure to work with your Rep closely to ensure your company is in the correct and active categories! Their reporting functions are great for warm outbound leads.
We run a 20 million annual revenue business and spend about $6000 per month on internet leads with Google ad words and others. They are good at selling the service and good at collecting the money but give you not good with delivering results
in 3 months we had 3 leads and all bad leads and they were charging $1200 per month .. and then when it doesn't work , try and cancel they threatened court and hold you, hostage ..
Use google ad words it actually works .. this.is a bait and switch company
