Manufacturers, and many B2B companies in general, have traditionally relied heavily on word of mouth and sales people to maintain a steady flow of revenue. However, the landscape has changed and potential customers, B2B customers included, are doing most of their research online before making a purchase. 

Our client, an established manufacturing company that provides equipment to international businesses in a variety of industries recognized that their overall marketing strategy was not complete without a digital marketing plan that would generate more leads and help them to maintain a healthier sales pipeline.

Digital Marketing for a Manufacturing Company 

Before partnering with WebStrategies, their primary marketing strategy was word of mouth referrals. This tactic led to some success, but was not adequate to meet their sales pipeline goals. 

Goals:

• Maintain 10-20 leads in the sales pipeline at all times
• Increase website traffic and conversions in order to generate quality leads online

Our Solution:

The primary tactics we employed were aimed at drawing more organic traffic to their website, increasing engagement and ultimately converting more visitors to leads, and leads to customers. Some of the strategies we employed include:

• SEO and Content Marketing
• Conversion Rate Optimization
• Search Engine Marketing
• Email Marketing

Results thus far:

• Website traffic increased by 57% from 2018 to 2019.

• Most leads and opportunities have come from organic traffic due to SEO efforts, and CRO strategy has improved engagement and conversion rates, with website conversions showing an increase of 765% year over year.

• In the past year of paid search advertising campaigns, their cost-per-click has been reduced by 50%.

• Before partnering with WebStrategies, they averaged around 1-3 leads in their sales pipeline at any given time, on a goal of 10-20 leads. They are making good progress towards their goal—the client reports that we are helping to increase their pipeline and drive leads that they otherwise would never have known about.
