They don't usually tend to put their names on the rides themselves (in publicly visible places, at least), but often, a manufacturer will put a specific ride onto their website and describe it as an indicator that they worked on it. Alternatively, things like IAAPA also give us a good indicator of who's manufacturing a new ride.
Check out rcdb.com (roller coaster database). You can find plenty of information about most permanently installed coasters, usually including the manufacturer.
I would love to see an infortmation panel at the end of most rides, maybe those with a story could have some story boards as well. It's what I'd do if I ran a park. I'd also go bankrupt pretty soon as I'd end up only putting things I like in.
Most don't put their names on their rides - and even if they do it depends...
Gerstlauer and Zamperla mostly have their company name and logo on their restraints - but that could be replaced by the ride or park name and/or logo. Some like Mondial deliver their rides with a plate with their name on it - but its not neccesary to put it on the ride.
For German funfair rides https://ride-index.de/ is a good source. For coaster rcdb as mentioned above.
For me its the reliability. If the ride is down 90% of the time you know Intamin made it. If it is more than 90% it is for sure an S&S and best of luck riding it
