The Business

A One-Stop Shop for Process Heating and Cooling Solutions

Enerquip Welder

Enerquip Thermal Solutions has been a trusted provider of American-made sanitary and industrial heating and cooling equipment since 1985. “In the late 80s and 90s, we expanded beyond industrial equipment into sanitary markets, including dairy. Since then, our commitment to quality has established us as a leader in the field,” said Marketing & Communications Manager Lindsey Mayer. Today, the company serves customers in more than 10 industries, including pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, and food and beverage. 

All of its thermal solutions — which include shell and tube heat exchangers, vapor condensers, tank heating and cooling equipment, and thermal fluid heaters — are made in the US. Enerquip has fabrication shops in Medford, WI, and Beggs, OK, and design offices in Medford, WI, and Sand Springs, OK.

Expanding into new categories has fueled Enerquip's growth in recent years. “A decade ago, we were a $5 million company with 49 employees. Today, we're a $25 million company with 65 employees,” Mayer said. “We've essentially quintupled our business while increasing our workforce by only 25%.”

 

The Problem

Expanding Customer Base Necessitates a Wider Marketing Approach


While adding new categories has been a huge growth driver for Enerquip, it also created a challenge for Mayer when it came to crafting a marketing strategy that could reach customers across all those different industries. She knew that the right search engine optimization plan could help Enerquip connect with customers looking for the solutions it offers, but building out a website with content that serves all those industries was a tall order.

“As a one-person marketing department, I’m responsible for both traditional and digital marketing efforts. Keeping up with everything can be challenging, especially in the ever-evolving marketing tech space,” she said. “SEO and the digital landscape change so quickly that we needed a partner to monitor and optimize our website traffic—someone to stay ahead of new trends and identify potential growth opportunities.”

“Content, especially your website, is king. All your marketing efforts drive traffic to your website, so it must be educational, clear, and meet the needs of your audience.”

The Solution

Optimized Search Helps Enerquip Connect with Customers

Mayer found the partner she was looking for in Thomas Marketing Services. Shortly after starting at Enerquip in 2021, a sales rep from Thomas reached out to Mayer, and she was impressed with the company’s industry knowledge and reputation. “No matter how big we want to scale, I knew that Thomas would be able to do that for us,” she said. As the first step in Enerquip’s advertising program, Thomas built Enerquip’s website, which merged two former websites into one.

After setting up the site, Thomas turned its focus to adding content to Enerquip’s library. Thomas provides 10 blog posts for Enerquip each year that it uses to create new webpages or optimize existing pages, and Account Manager Jesse Kinney works with Mayer to add content based on trending keywords. Mayer said she appreciates Thomas’ consultative approach and the regular check-ins she has with Kinney, who she said is like “an extension of Enerquip’s marketing department.”

Having an influx of new blog posts created with SEO in mind not only helps Enerquip get in front of customers through organic search, it also provides Mayer with content to feature in Enerquip’s email communications and social media. 

“I appreciate that Jesse provides blog content options based on keyword growth potential. When new keywords start ranking, he suggests writing blog posts around them. His guidance is invaluable, as managing everything alone can be challenging."

With its new website and content program from Thomas, Enerquip has seen improvements in website traffic and organic search volume.

Nearly half of the traffic to Enerquip’s website comes from organic search. As of June 2024, the number of users is up more than 100% and engaged sessions have increased by about 71% year-over-year.

Looking ahead, Mayer is confident that Thomas can continue to help Enerquip stay successful as the company grows.

“Thomas offers extensive and scalable resources and solutions that align with our growth. One of our main considerations in selecting a digital partner was finding someone who could handle all our digital needs and grow alongside us. That’s exactly what we’ve found in Thomas,” she said.
