3 Quick SEO Wins for Manufacturing Companies

Share This Post:

An iPhone reads, "Quick SEO wins for manufacturing companies"

Your website is one of the most important lead generation tools that you have at your disposal, but it only works if your customers can find it.
This is why SEO is a critical tool for manufacturing companies, and why we’re giving out a few quick wins to get you started.

Keep Your Social Presence Consistent

People are going to be searching for your business on many digital platforms, and most will be searching for you on multiple different platforms. If you aren’t consistent on each, that will be a deterrent to both users and search engines.
Google and other search engines will know how credible your site is if they can see that it’s represented consistently on all platforms. This means that name, hours, location, phone numbers, and other information should be the same on your website, Facebook, Twitter, your Google listing, and any other platform you may be on.

Make Sure Your Visitors Find What They Want

Nothing is worse than visiting a website that you think will deliver you what you’re looking for, but then you can’t find it. A poorly written and mapped site can cripple the user experience.
Both the user and search engines notice this, and it’s reflected in search engine rankings. You should also avoid using terms that your customers might not understand. The visitors to your site aren’t commonly knowledgeable in most manufacturing industries, so avoid jargon that will leave them confused.

Use Copy That Visitors Search For

This goes with what was said a moment ago; visitors to your site won’t understand a lot of the industry terms you may be using, which means they definitely won’t Google them. Write your content based on what your customers might be typing into Google, and how they’re looking for you. This will show to search engines that you have exactly what your audience needs.
These three things are a great start to ensuring your site is getting proper search visibility, but it’s really just the tip of the iceberg.
If this just isn’t cutting it, there are plenty of resources online you can use to research, or you can call 8THIRTYFOUR to help you, because we’ve already done that research.

Something on Your Mind?

If you ever need proof that personal brand matters...Kim got to see the @nasaartemis II launch in person as a direct result of her Big Deal Energyâ„¢. You need to work hard, show up authentically, and provide value. That was her message to a room full of students and young professionals at @western_michigan_pmi's theProject Collegiate Competition. The Big Deal Energyâ„¢ Workshop is on June 23. Register at the link in bio.
Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energyâ„¢.Kim is speaking at theProjectâ„¢ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She'll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking. Link in bio to learn more.
No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn't pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it. If you know a business owner, tell them they're doing a good job. It matters more than you know.
The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business. Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can't be vulnerable. Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back.
