The AGMA Product Locator has proven to be a valuable resource for association members and other industry professionals who use the Internet to locate products and services for the entire gear manufacturing industry. This information resource uses powerful search technology that continually indexes the content of participating supplier Web sites. Users have the option of performing keyword-driven searches that mirror traditional search engines, or a category-specific search. Both methods produce the most relevant results on the Web.

The AGMA Product Locator also incorporates a desktop search mechanism, allowing visitors to download a free application that makes the directory accessible from the user’s computer desktop. In addition, the directory has implemented Request For Information (RFI) functionality, allowing visitors to contact suppliers with the click of a button. Both features are becoming increasingly popular among users of the AGMA Product Locator and are a valuable business opportunity for suppliers to advertise in the directory.

Members of the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) are using the AGMA Product Locator on a daily basis. But the directory isn’t limited to association members. Other engineering managers, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, gear business managers, operations and plant managers are using the directory as well. These industry professionals spend $2 billion a year on products and services your company offers.

And when these professionals are ready to buy, they turn to the AGMA Product Locator to cut through the clutter of traditional search engine results.

The AGMA Product Locator has been created specifically for serious buyers of your product or service. Purchasing a listing in the directory ensures that your company’s brand and message are delivered directly to those that matter most to your business. The AGMA is recognized as a leader in the industry. And engineering managers, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, gear business managers, operations and plant managers turn to the association as the informational source in the industry.

With traditional search results, your company’s listing becomes one in a million. But searching through the AGMA Product Locator presents relevant search results to pre-qualified, committed buyers. Completing a listing in the directory will cost your company less advertising dollars than participating in the pay-per-click campaigns of the major search engines and delivers better results.

Your complete listing in the AGMA Product Locator will feature your company logo and description, contact information and company Web site and e-mail link. The listing will be grouped into categories of your choice to enable efficient searching.
