You have a website, but you're not getting quality leads or you're barely getting any visitors. When SEO is done right, it can target the engineers, procurement managers, and MROs you want to do business with and contributes to:

Increase your SEO traffic and drive more leads
All of the website traffic in the world won’t make a difference if that traffic doesn't generate any sales. But you've got prospects to nurture, sales numbers to hit, and business goals to meet.
SEO can help your website challenges and your sales goals — but we understand it can get complicated when you have other things to focus on. That's why U.S. manufacturers and industrial companies partner with Thomas to help them with leads, customers, and revenue — using SEO and marketing best practices.
Our SEO experts work with our industry professionals to implement SEO programs that attract qualified B2B buyers and turn them into customers. Our SEO experts will also partner with you to understand your business goals and make sure they're targeting the exact audience you want to do business with.
Here’s what our SEO process entails:
1. Initial SEO Site Audit: We partner you with a dedicated SEO specialist who performs an in-depth analysis of your business and market. We thoroughly review and analyze your current site to assess your site’s technical architecture (page load times, responsive design, encryption), and uncover penalties, errors, and potential issues. This information is used to make our initial recommendations and establish an SEO strategy. If we come across any penalties that are hurting your rankings, we’ll work diligently to remove them and get your website out of penalty.
2. SEO Strategy Research: Developing your SEO strategy is based on the user activity on Thomasnet.com — a powerful and proprietary set of data — as well as feedback from you to compile a list of keyword targets that will bring active, qualified buyers to your site.
3. Content Development: Our SEO team and content marketing writers will create highly targeted SEO content offers based on your target personas' data. Strategic updates are made to both your website and the Thomasnet.com® platform to drive the traffic you want — and generate leads. New website content includes videos, articles, onsite and offsite link development, and regular reports and findings. We’ll also optimize your metadata to play well with search engines.

4. Backlink Building: Getting links from quality websites is one of the best ways to enhance your SEO. We leverage our deep industry connections to generate backlinks that increase the authority of your domain.
5. Monthly Reporting: Some SEO agencies will take your cash and leave the analytics to you. We’re not one of those companies — our detailed reports will be prepared and reviewed for you every month. We perform a detailed analysis of our performance to make ongoing adjustments to website content, coding, and other elements in order to drive continuous improvement.
SEO stands for search engine optimization. It’s the practice of adhering to the best practices set out by Google, Bing, etc., to ensure your business will get found by their users on the search results pages.
Yes, but we’ll caution you: Search engines are tricky. Search engines are constantly updating their algorithms and aren’t completely transparent. This means you need to constantly monitor for updates — plus, you need to be careful to make sure you’re getting traffic from actual prospects, not bot traffic. We recommend you complement your SEO strategy with a listing on Thomasnet.com, where more than 950,000 verified, registered buyers looking for your products and services each month.
There are numerous ways you can optimize your website. One piece of advice we always stress to our industrial clients is updating regularly — even if it's just one or two blogs a month. We have a blog post on this very topic — check out these quick tips on optimizing your industrial website.
SEO is about so much more than stuffing a ton of keywords on your website. There’s a lot that goes into boosting your rankings and, more importantly, converting visitors into customers. We perform tactic keyword research by evaluating how your specific target prospects search for the products and services you offer.
