Is Your Tech-Shopping Overwhelming and Ambiguous? ComHQ Aims To Help You

Online search results are often arbitrary and always overwhelming. This breeds uncertainty, and while searching for crucial tech tools and services, this uncertainty is a handicap. ComHQ eliminates this handicap with its online database of tech tools or services. It claims to allow knowledge workers to find the ‘right tech for the right work, in 10 minutes or less’.

ComHQ: A Searchable Library Of Vetted Software Tools And Services

The founding team behind ComHQ built it specifically for the needs of knowledge-workers who need tech tools and services to get work done. It’s a growing, searchable database of vetted software, SaaS tools, and tech service vendors. The user experience enables anyone to search for the tech they need from thousands of tools and services, for any platform, in any region, and for any industry. 

How ComHQ Overcomes The Flaws Of Online Search for Tech Tools and Services

Users control online search via their search queries – the sequence of words they key into the search bar before hitting ENTER. To search and shop for crucial tech tools and services for business problems, they need a navigation system with more controls. ComHQ makes this possible. 

ComHQ arranges its growing catalog of tech tools and services listings as per the most important search and filter criteria used by tech-shoppers. Also, each listing appears with a summary of the tool/service description, average user ratings, among other details. Comparisons are easy and quick to make, with the help of ComHQCrux Score allotted to each tool/service.

Search Result Overwhelm: A Real Problem

A Google search for ‘mind-mapping software’ returns 229,000,000 results. For ‘customer relationship management software’, the number surges to 306,000,000. Let alone CEOs, even the most dedicated virtual assistant can’t be expected to scan through even 0.0001% (that’s literally one in a million) of these results. This volume is so overwhelming, that even the staunchest rationalist seeks refuge in the top 5 results for their search term, and nothing else.

Is Search Result #1 Truly The Right Solution For You?

The unmanageably high number of search results isn’t the only problem. Who makes it to the first 2 (or 5) Google search result pages? This depends on factors that may not reflect the concerns of tech-shoppers. 

Some of the ranking factors are: how much content the brand has, how frequently it updates its pages, and how many other websites link back to it. None of these factors are direct indicators of quality. This means that web searches for the ‘best’ or ‘top’ software, cloud-based applications, and technology services can be ambiguous

For Tech-shoppers, Speed and Clarity Are Paramount

While a user may not need to know how one mind-mapping software differs from the next, the stakes are high when, let’s say, the CMO of a growing eCommerce company wants to find the perfect CRM tool. Or, when a hospital serving 100,000 patients a day wants to deliver its booking services via an app. 

Finding the right tool and fighting it right now – that’s the objective of anyone in charge of the purchase decision. While search engine algorithms handle informational content well, they are too blunt instruments to separate out robust tech tools and services from thousands others. 

‘We’ve learned the hard way, and want ComHQ to end this’ – Akhilesh Choudhary, ComHQ’s Founder.

ComHQ’s founder, Akhilesh Choudhary, isn’t a stranger to the vagaries of search algorithms and online search in general. “ComHQ is my 3rd entrepreneurial project, and arguably the most challenging and crucial of all. With this my team is trying to eliminate the bad stuff from online-search for tech product information. I know that the wrong tool or the wrong vendor can frustrate, damage, and even demolish a startup. We’ve learned this the hard way, and with ComHQ, we want to remove this stumbling block from the path of other knowledge workers,” said Akhilesh.
