No I didn't. ;)

I think that's the major difference - you don't see the 'big box' guys interacting with people on a meaningful level. Sure, I'd love to be able to pump out kits all day long, but I'm not planning on reducing the number of 'inspired by' items I have - I want to increase that number! (And once I've got that workshop humming, you can bet this is what is going to happen.)

I'm not sure I'd even assume they're any bigger than the "smaller" guys. I think they just have better search engine optimization and are easier to find.
If you go looking for arcade cabinets, NorthCoast Customs comes up, not Haruman's. I think they've done something better with their web presence that makes them seem de-facto bigger.

You are definitely correct. Their SEO is definitely better tuned for the search engines to find. When I ran my last company, I was able to tune my SEO efficiently enough, that the competition - that had a similar web presence for 10+ years prior to my arrival - were ranked beneath me in a simple search. (The only reason I haven't recreated this success is I have a "thing" about directing people towards my website when it presently is still 'under construction'. I simply won't do it until I'm ready.)

Try searching bartop kits. I know results are tailored, but my site shows up #1 for me. :dunno

It does for me as well! /fistbump
AND, if you add the word "Canada" to the ole "Bartop Kits" search, I show up in the top THREE links.
