Build an Online Presence for Lead Generation
Manufacturers, material suppliers, equipment suppliers, machinists, and other leaders in materials sciences take advantage of PlasticStar’s premier product and material discovery platform. We distribute your messaging to receptive audiences, generating relevant leads with high conversion rates while growing your online presence.

Your premium directory listing on the PlasticStar material discovery platform is a lead generation tool with significant search engine optimization (SEO) benefits that keep you at the top of search results by skyrocketing your domain authority, a search engine ranking score used by all major search engines.

Search engines including Google and Bing consider PlasticStar’s high domain authority rating when determining the relevancy of content released through our distribution networks. By linking to your content on multiple channels, we create “buzz” around search terms potential customers in need of your products are using, and make sure you show up on page one.

Basic Directory Listing
PlasticStar’s basic directory listing service is 100% free and includes a company profile that
summarizes your product and services with national reach. Basic directories can be requested by contacting PlasticStar through email, which should contain your company’s contact info and service summary.

Many names in materials sciences may find that a PlasticStar basic directory listing already exists for their company. These listings can be claimed by contacting PlasticStar by email, which should contain any changes you wish to have made to your company’s contact info and services summary. These changes will be made free of charge.

Potential customers can search the PlasticStar directory listing discovery platform with keywords related to your products and services summary to find you. We highly recommend our premium directory listing service for higher search rankings on major search engines and the PlasticStar platform.

Premium Directory Service
Premium level directory services ensure you get maximum visibility online for the search terms related to your industry. By focusing exclusively on material sciences, PlasticStar can closely and consistently monitor how customers are searching for your products and services.

PlasticStar premium directory listings benefit from hundreds of backlinks and strategic placement for maximum Google and Bing indexing, making it easier for customers to find and contact you. Enlist PlasticStar’s premium directory service to start getting noticed.

Newsletter & Website Sponsored Content
PlasticStar’s mobile-first newsletters are distributed a few times per week. The PlasticStar newsletter is trusted by materials sciences industry leaders because we offer relevant, clear and concise one to two sentence article summaries that link to PlasticStar’s materials sciences online magazine. We show our growing readership less of what they don’t want and more of what they do. Part of that is solving problems, and our job is to expose your message to leads that need your products and services.

The life of your ad can span 3 months, 6 months or as we recommend a year: we run your sponsored content in multiple newsletters, keeping the readers you want to reach engaged with your brand. We create brand recognition by immersing your message among fresh daily content that keeps readers coming back with a higher click-through-rate at a lower cost than the competition.

Your sponsored content links to your websites, press releases, or other content where it gets indexed as an article, meaning your message rises to the top of web searches on all major search engine platforms.
