Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Signpost delivers strong results for review generation and customer communication, though execution and onboarding clarity remain weak points for some users.
The majority of users praise review growth and customer retention tools, with many reporting substantial increases in online reviews and repeat business. Customer service stands out as a consistent strength—users frequently name specific representatives and highlight responsiveness and professionalism. Several mention the platform helped them stand out competitively or drove measurable sales uplift. Users also appreciate the automation that requests client feedback without heavy manual effort, and find the email campaign features useful for staying in touch with past and prospective customers.
Cost and value perception divide reviewers. Some see it as a worthwhile investment; others feel the price is high relative to what actually delivers—particularly around text marketing features that require customer opt-in and therefore don't perform as promised. A few users report onboarding gaps: one wished for instructional videos, another felt the platform was unintuitive at first. One account reports a Google Page suspension tied to advice received during setup, creating months of damage.
Contract disputes appear in isolated but serious cases. Two users describe being locked into longer commitments than they understood, with difficulty getting out, and one reports a salesperson's promises of service parity with a previous vendor were not honored and later denied. These outlier complaints stand against the overwhelmingly positive feedback on the core offering.

“I want to start by saying I was weary at…”
I want to start by saying I was weary at first.I am a co-owner of a company, Body Drop Fitness, and we signed up for a year contract about two months ago because we needed a way to get reviews. Signpost has already delivered more than what I expected! We received 12 Google+ reviews in the first two weeks and are about to use the referral program as well. Now I haven't tried to cancel so I cant speak on how that process is but to be completely honest I don't see a need to cancel anytime in the near future. I cant speak for everyone, but it for sure worked for us.

“Has honestly been very helpful for my business. Definitely not…”
Has honestly been very helpful for my business. Definitely not a hail-mary if you're in desperate need of customers but they delivered what they promised to me at least. I've never been good with computers or the internet, but at least with them I don't have to do much. We've noticed an increase in phone calls, and we've gotten a bunch of new reviews that my customers have been mentioning. I don't plan on cancelling so I can't comment on how easy that is, but for me the service has been great.

“Signpost has been great so far. I have been working…”
Signpost has been great so far. I have been working with them for almost 6 months. My studio now finally has some great reviews on Yelp and I can communicate with my members through emails and texts easy. The referrals have skyrocketed as well. I'm not sure why people have problems with the company because I can call my Account representative and change things and ask questions whenever I want and they always answer and explain things. It's definitely worth the price because I'm seeing tons of new referrals and a much stronger reputation on Yelp.

“I was told I could cancel within 30 days, they…”
I was told I could cancel within 30 days, they will not accept cancelation, have horrible reviews every for this same reason and poorly reviewed on BBB. Now I keep getting the run around about my numerous cancellation requests

I would never recommend Signpost to anyone. Act with caution if you get one of their sales calls.

“My company signed up for Signpost's services for one year.…”
My company signed up for Signpost's services for one year. This fall as the date of the expiration for their service approached (December 14) my office received emails reminding me that all I needed to do to cancel my subscription would be to "phone or email 48 hours prior to the cancelation". Which I did. I even spoke with a representative - well in advance of 12/14 - about my desire to cancel. Orion sent SEVERAL emails to Support stating our desire to cancel the subscription. Lo and behold - when I checked my AMEX account in January - Signpost had deducted two charges for $199 each. I contacted AMEX and disputed the charges and AMEX - to their credit - removed them. Today - 2/17/15 - I received a message from AMEX that Signpost disputed my dispute claiming somewhere in the fine print of their contract with me I had not done "enough" to cancel my subscription. Clearly, their business ethics are suspect. They send their customers notices indicating that the ONLY thing that needs to be done to cancel a subscription is to contact them by "phone OR email". One of their employees in Support even emailed that she had received my Cancelation Request. However, apparently, Signpost has to admit that they will accept your request for it to be valid. Such is the ethics of this company. They intend to rebill AMEX. AMEX feels compelled to pay it. Due to unethical legalese. I have no intention of ever using this service again, and I intend to write unkindly about them whenever possible.

“Anyone thinking of employing Sign Post for help advertising should…”
Anyone thinking of employing Sign Post for help advertising should beware. The sales representatives/customer service team ran me around in circles when I tried to cancel and terminate their services. Besides the fact that they completely failed to bring me any new clients (not bringing me even one new client a month), they offered inaccurate and contradictory information on the cancellation procedures. In May 2014, a month prior to the end of my 3 month agreement, I called their customer service department telling them I'd like to end all services at the end of the 3 months. A representative informed me that she could help me with this and that the service will be terminated at the end of the 3 month agreement. On June 8th, 2014, two days after my 3 month agreement ended, I noted a new charge of $375 on my credit card statement from Sign post. I called them immediately to inquire about this new charge and the representative this time informed me that I had been charged a new 3 month service fee. When I told her that I had called in May to cancel all services, she said she had no record of this transaction and that I am now responsible for the new charge.
