Shippers and warehouses still can’t find each other.
Buyers spend days cold-calling to confirm a fit. Capable warehouses sit unseen when they could be earning. American Warehouse Index is the directory that closes that gap — built for the way search works now.
$25 per listing per month. Ten minutes to publish. No commission, no per-lead fees.
Looking for a warehouse? Browse the directoryA matching problem, on both sides.
A shipper who needs FDA-registered cold storage with pick-and-pack in a particular market Googles it, opens a dozen tabs, and starts cold-calling to confirm what each facility actually does. Most of those calls end in “not a fit.”
Meanwhile the warehouse that is the fit — the right certifications, the right space open right now — never surfaces, because nothing on its website says so in a way a person (or a browser search agent) can quickly read.
And the search itself is moving. Buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity first, and even a Google search now leads with an AI overview. Those tools read structured data, not website copy — and most warehouse sites can’t be read that way effectively.
What we built
A directory that matches on what actually matters.
American Warehouse Index lists warehouses by what they really do — storage types, certifications, services, available capacity — and publishes it so both people and AI search can read it.
If you’re sourcing space
Filter on real capability and see only the facilities that fit. The wrong-fit calls never have to get made — and AI assistants can surface the same matches when you ask them.
If you run a warehouse
You’re found on the specifics that set your facility apart, so the inquiries that reach you already fit — the call starts at volumes and timelines.
Shippers filter on these. AI assistants read them.
Behind every listing is structured data that stays current — you update a field, and what search engines and AI assistants read updates with it. See how it works for operators →
How it works
How a warehouse becomes findable.
Most warehouse websites never state the clear height, the certifications, or what’s open right now — not anywhere a search engine or an AI assistant can read them. Three steps close that gap, and you only do the first one.
You fill in the form, once
Square footage, clear height, dock doors, certifications, temperature ranges, services. The things a buyer would otherwise have to phone you to find out. Eight fields get you published; the rest you can add whenever.
We publish it as facts, not paragraphs
Your listing becomes a permanent public page and a set of machine-readable specifications underneath it. You never write that part, and it changes the moment you change a field — so it cannot go stale the way markup on your own site does.
Search engines and AI assistants can read it
They crawl on their own schedule and we do not control what they do with it. What we can say is that your specifications are published in the form these tools read, rather than buried in copy they have to interpret.

Warehouse KPIs That Actually Matter: What to Measure and What to Ignore
Most warehouse KPI lists are written by people selling software. This guide covers the eight metrics experienced operators actually run on, how to calculate each one honestly, what good looks like for different operation types, and the measurement mistakes that make a number worse than useless.
