Get found by buyers while they are still choosing a supplier.

We help manufacturers, exporters and B2B service firms show up on Google and in AI answers when buyers compare suppliers, and we count every enquiry that follows, by channel.

Updated November 2026

B2B SEO is search work for companies that sell to other businesses. The buyer is a purchasing manager, an importer or an engineer, and they search for the product, its grade, and a word that says who they want to deal with: manufacturer, supplier or exporter.

We build product and category pages around those words, check that ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews describe your company correctly, and track every enquiry by channel. For a herb exporter in Rajasthan, the first overseas enquiry arrived 15 days after its new site went live in July 2026.

What B2B buyers search for

B2B buyers rarely search for a company name. They search for the product, often with a grade, a material or a standard, and add a word that tells Google who they want to deal with. Manufacturer, supplier, exporter and wholesaler each mean something different to a buyer, so we use the one that is true for you.

Keyword tools miss much of this. They reported no searches for phrases like "senna leaves manufacturer", which our exporter client's Search Console showed buyers really typing, and Keyword Planner often shows no volume for searches like it. So we start from your own Search Console and Google's suggestions, and treat the keyword tool as one input among several.

What a B2B product page needs

  • The product name buyers type, first. Trade names and codes still matter, so they go in the specifications, and the title uses the buyer's words.
  • Specifications buyers can compare. Grades, sizes, standards and the certificates you actually hold, set out so a buyer can check them before writing to you.
  • Minimum order, packing, shipping and lead times. The questions a buyer would otherwise have to write in to ask.
  • An enquiry in one step. WhatsApp, email, phone and a short form on the page, so the buyer asks you before trying the next supplier.

Manufacturers: say that you make it

A buyer who types "manufacturer" wants the factory: better prices, steady quality and someone who can make to order. Many manufacturers' websites read like a trader's, and that buyer moves on to the next result.

  • Show the factory. Real photos of your unit, machines and packing line.
  • List what you can make. Capacity, forms and grades, private label or custom work, and the minimum order for each.
  • Show the paperwork. Registrations, certificates and test reports, and only the ones you hold.

Every enquiry counted, by channel

Each enquiry button fires one event in Google Analytics, with its channel: WhatsApp, email, phone or form. One enquiry is counted once, so the figure on your dashboard is one you can plan with.

In October 2026 our exporter client's site recorded 75 enquiries: 43 by WhatsApp, 19 by email, 12 through the form and 1 by phone (Google Analytics, 2 to 31 October 2026).

Getting named when buyers ask AI tools

Buyers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews which suppliers to consider. In October 2026, 29 of our exporter client's 75 enquiries came from visitors who arrived from ChatGPT (Google Analytics, 2 to 31 October 2026).

We check what these tools say about you in the markets you sell to, and make sure the facts they repeat are right on your own site: what you make, where you make it and to what standard.

Selling abroad

If you export, buyers search in their own spelling and units, and some search in their own language. Our international SEO page and our guide to getting export orders cover what changes, and our article on SEO for exporters shows what overseas buyers type.

Questions people ask

How often will we hear from you?

Every week. Every client gets a weekly call with the people doing the work, a message from us the day something important changes, and a live dashboard in between.

What is B2B SEO?

Search work for companies that sell to other businesses: getting your products and services found by buyers who are comparing suppliers, and turning those visits into enquiries you can count.

How long does B2B SEO take?

Our goal for every client: page one on Google and a place in Google's AI Overview for your main searches, within three months. Our exporter client's new site, on a new domain, had its first overseas enquiry 15 days after it went live.

Do you write technical product content?

Yes, from your specifications, with your team checking every figure. We never publish a grade, standard or certificate you do not hold.

Can you run our ads too?

Yes. We run Google Ads and Meta Ads tracked to the same enquiries, so search and ads are planned together.

How much does B2B SEO cost?

It depends on the work: the size of your site, the channels you need and how many products or places you sell in. We do not publish a price list. Send us your website and we will tell you what we would do first and what it would cost.
