Sectors Industry and metalwork

Marketing for metal firms.

Your customer wants to see your workshop before they send their drawing. They choose the firm they see at work.

01 How your customer searches

How your customer looks for a metal firm.

Your customer types “welding Lokeren”. Two other firms are above you. Not because their work is better, but because of these four things.

  1. 01 No photos of your own. Your customer can't see your workshop, or what you make.
  2. 02 No video. Your customer wants to see your machines and your welding before they call.
  3. 03 LinkedIn has gone quiet. Your last post is from 2023. Is that workshop still running?
  4. 04 Not found. Not in Google and not in ChatGPT.

After 12 weeks your customer sees your workshop. Your own photos, a film of your work and a post from this week. Your name is at the top.

02 What we see at metal firms

4 things we see at metal firms.

From the websites of 18 metal firms we read, from welding shops to machine builders.

  1. 01

    Your customer checks your papers before asking for a quote.

    For load-bearing steel, your customer asks for your EN 1090. A chemical or food company often asks for VCA. A machine builder wants to see your machinery. Of the 18 websites we read, 2 mention their EN 1090 and 2 their VCA.

    We put your certificates, your machines and your work together on your website.

  2. 02

    Almost nobody films their workshop.

    Of 18 websites, 15 have no film. 2 show a welder from a stock photo site. Your customer wants to see your machines, your welding and your team.

    We film your workshop on an ordinary working day.

  3. 03

    No customer is ever quoted.

    None of the 18 websites shows a review or a word from a customer. In Google, your customer picks the firm with stars.

    After each project you ask your customer for a review. We show the reviews on your website.

  4. 04

    Many websites haven't changed in years.

    On 5 of the 18 websites the footer says 2021 or earlier. One still has a fax number. Your customer wonders whether that firm is still going.

    We update your website every month, with new work.

03 Do the sums

  12. D

That's 1 every 6 months. Every project above that is yours.

How we work it out
  1. What Groei costs, on average a year. 11 × €899 in year 1 (the first month is free), 12 × €649 in year 2 and 12 × €499 from year 3, divided by 3: €7,888.
  2. What a project brings you. What you keep per project, after materials and hours: here €5,000. A small project brings in less, a large steel structure more. You enter your own figure in the calculator.
  3. The division. €7,888 ÷ €5,000 = 1.6. Rounded up: from 2 extra projects a year, Groei has paid for itself. Everything above that is profit.

Example with a margin of €5,000 per project. This is an example, not a promise: what it comes to for you, we work out together.

05 Questions

What metal firms ask us.

Your question isn't here? Call us.

0800 7 65 63

Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 17:30.

My customers are businesses. Do they really look me up on Google?

Partly. A lot of work comes through your network and your regular customers. Anyone who hears about you looks up your name first. Others type what you do and your town, like “welding Lokeren”. We make sure they then find what they're looking for: your certificates, your machines and your work.

Does my workshop have to stop when you come to film?

No. We film an ordinary working day and follow your workshop's safety rules. Anything confidential stays out of shot, such as your customer's drawing or logo.

I have enough work. What I'm looking for is welders and CNC operators.

It helps then too. Anyone looking for a job first looks at where they'd be working. A film of your workshop and your own team on your website helps your vacancies too. We don't promise candidates.

What does it cost exactly?

Zichtbaar costs €499 a month in year 1, Groei €899 and Vol Gas €1,599. Your price drops every year. There is no set-up fee, and your price is never indexed. All prices exclude VAT.

See the three plans or work it out.

How long before I'm online?

Twelve weeks. In that time we ask for 1 hour at the start, and you check everything once. We do the rest.

How the twelve weeks go.

Does a competitor down the road do worse work, but show it better? You won't lose another project to them.
