The challenge for Light Bright Signs

How many small business owners seeing a black sign thinking it’s a great idea know what to call up searching the web? Black signs? Portable signs? Mobile signs? Neon lettered signs? So one big issue starts with what someone unfamiliar with the business knowing what to call the business.

Google’s taxonomy lacks recognition of “black signs” making Light Bright a sign shop and advertising company rather than a black sign company. By default a local competitor calling himself “Michigan Black Signs” gets more attention as the Google algorithm mistakes a generic search for a type of sign for the company using, “black sign” and the state in its name.
