About TFI Signals

Why we built this

Running a business leaves little time to keep track of every profile and listing with your name on it. Some are yours. Some were created by others. Some are out of date. When customers search, they see whatever is there, not whatever you intended.

We built Signals to gather what is public into one page you can read in a few minutes, so you can see what is there, what is missing, and what is worth a closer look.

What Signals will not do

• It reads public information only. It never signs in to anything, and it does not change your business or any listing.
• Results can be incomplete or mistaken. Some pages, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, cannot be read directly, so a profile that is not shown may simply be one we could not see.
• It does not judge your business. It shows what the public sources say at the time of the check.
• We are a small startup, so some sources are not practical for us to check yet. We will add more over time.

Who is behind it

TFI Signals is made by Thompson Foundry Innovations in Fullerton, California, and is powered by TFI Discover Engine. We research practical challenges facing local businesses and build technology and services in response to what the evidence shows. Signals is one way we are learning, and one way we hope to be useful.

We are an early, small project starting in Fullerton. Anyone can run a check, and if you are outside Fullerton, we would still like to hear how it went.

About the Learn and Resources pages

The guides in Learn are written from official sources, show when they were last checked, and say plainly what the official pages do not tell you. Resources is a list of official places to go. Neither is legal or professional advice.
