Digital Marketing That Grow Your Manufacturing Business.

We help manufacturers modernize outdated websites, rank for niche searches, and generate consistent RFQs — turning your digital presence into a sales engine.

Digital Marketing for Manufacturing Businesses

From the Shop Floor to Search Results

Manufacturing has always been about precision, process, and results. But even the best-built products won’t sell themselves if potential buyers and distributors can’t find you online. In 2025, nearly 70% of B2B buyers begin their research online before contacting a supplier. That means your website isn’t just a brochure — it’s the first step in your sales funnel.
At Bradford Strategies, we help manufacturers, fabricators, and industrial suppliers transform outdated websites into modern lead-generation machines. Through custom web development, SEO, and targeted advertising, we connect you with the buyers and distributors actively searching for your capabilities.

Struggle Online

Why Manufacturers Businesses Struggle Online

We’ve seen the same challenges across dozens of manufacturing companies:

Outdated Websites

Many sites look 10+ years old, don’t work on mobile, and lack clear calls-to-action.

No SEO Strategy

Without targeted keywords, potential buyers never find you.

Complex Products

Many manufacturers offer technical products that require advanced catalog systems, spec sheets, or configurators.

Missed RFQs

Without proper tracking, businesses don’t know where inquiries are coming from or what marketing channels actually work.

Competitor Advantage:

Larger competitors with better websites and stronger SEO quietly capture contracts.

Website Design for

Manufacturing Businesses

A manufacturing website needs to accomplish three things:

Showcase Capabilities Clearly

Buyers need to quickly understand what processes, materials, and industries you serve.

Build Trust and Credibility

Case studies, certifications (ISO, ASME, etc.), and equipment lists show professionalism.

Make It Easy to Request Quotes

Every page should funnel toward “Request a Quote” or “Contact Sales.”

We build on WordPress with custom development to handle complex catalogs, product specifications, and technical resources. With page builders like Elementor or Gutenberg, your team can easily update content without needing constant developer support.

Search engine optimization (SEO) For

Get Found for Niche Searches

B2B buyers often search for very specific processes or materials. Ranking for these terms is critical to generating inbound RFQs. Our SEO Services Include:

Keyword Research

Identify niche terms buyers use.

On-Page SEO

Optimize titles, metadata, and schema for technical content.

Content Marketing

Publish case studies, capability guides, and technical blogs.

Local + Regional SEO:

Capture searches in your service area (e.g., “metal fabrication Bethlehem PA”).

Link Building

Earn backlinks from trade organizations, industry publications, and supplier directories.

Result

qualified inbound leads from buyers looking for exactly what you do.

Advertising for

Manufacturing Companies

Unlike consumer businesses, manufacturers don’t benefit from flashy ad campaigns. Instead, ads must be targeted, precise, and ROI-driven.

Google Ads

Capture buyers searching “custom injection molding company near me” or “precision CNC machining NJ

LinkedIn Ads

Target decision-makers by job title (engineer, procurement manager, operations director).

Remarketing

Stay top-of-mind with visitors who checked your capabilities but didn’t submit an RFQ.

Every campaign is tracked — no wasted spend, only measurable ROI.

Custom Development

Custom Web Development for Industrial Needs

Manufacturers often require websites that go beyond standard design. We specialize in building custom functionality for industrial clients, including:
  • RFQ Builders: Dynamic forms that let buyers select specs, upload files, and request detailed quotes
  • Product Configurators: Allow users to customize dimensions, materials, or features.
  • Resource Libraries: Secure portals for datasheets, CAD files, and manuals.
  • CRM Integrations: Connect website leads directly to your sales team.
Custom development ensures your website matches the complexity of your business.
