Manufacturing

By the time a buyer contacts you, 70% of the decision is already made.

B2B manufacturing buyers research for weeks before they speak to anyone. Your website is doing that selling work whether you designed it that way or not. We make sure it does it well.

B2B Buying Reality 70% Of the decision is made before first contact

Your website is your most active salesperson. Most manufacturing sites were never built with that responsibility in mind.

Tested via Convertly Day 1 When optimisation starts

Every change we make is tested and proven before it becomes permanent. Nothing is assumed.

The Problem

Most manufacturing websites were built for the wrong audience.

They reflect how the business is structured internally. Not how buyers actually make decisions.

01

Website built for the internal team

The navigation mirrors company departments. The content reflects what the business wants to say. The buyer who is trying to solve a specific problem cannot find what they need and leaves.

02

No visitor journey

B2B manufacturing buyers research extensively before contacting anyone. The site does not guide them through that process. It just lists products and services and leaves the visitor to figure out the rest.

03

Technical copy that loses the buyer

Pages are written by engineers for engineers. The buyer who controls the budget often is not an engineer. The value case never gets made in plain language and the enquiry never comes.

04

No social proof at the right moment

Case studies exist but they are buried. Certifications sit on an About page nobody visits. By the time the buyer finds them the decision is already forming elsewhere.

05

No clear next step

Most manufacturing sites have no obvious conversion path. No clear CTA, no low-commitment entry point, no reason to act now rather than continue researching. The buyer leaves meaning to come back. They rarely do.

How We Fix It

Five precise fixes. Each one matched to a specific problem.

Every fix we apply to a manufacturing website is grounded in what the diagnosis found. Not what worked somewhere else.

The problem
What we do about it
01 Website built for the internal team

The navigation mirrors company departments. The buyer cannot find what they need.

Fix 01 We map the buyer journey first

We build detailed buyer personas, map their decision process and restructure the site around how they actually research and evaluate. The navigation, the content order and the page hierarchy all follow the buyer's logic not the company's.

02 No visitor journey

The site lists products and services but does not guide buyers through their research process.

Fix 02 We create a guided research path

We identify every question a buyer has at each stage of their research and make sure the site answers them in the right order. Visitors who feel guided convert. Visitors who feel lost leave.

03 Technical copy that loses the buyer

Pages are written by engineers for engineers. The decision maker cannot extract the value case.

Fix 03 We rewrite for the decision maker

We translate technical capability into plain-language value. What does this mean for the buyer's operation? What problem does it solve? Copy written for the person who signs the purchase order.

04 No social proof at the right moment

Case studies and certifications exist but sit where buyers do not see them when it matters.

Fix 04 We move proof to where decisions happen

We audit every case study, certification and client outcome and reposition them at the exact moment in the journey where a buyer needs reassurance. Not buried. Present.

05 No clear next step

No clear CTA, no low-commitment entry point. The buyer leaves meaning to come back. They rarely do.

Fix 05 We build a conversion path

We add a clear, low-commitment CTA at every key point in the journey. Tested via Convertly until we find the ask that gets the most responses from the right kind of buyers.

Case Study Manufacturing
Audience-First Build
Caldwell Industries

A website finally built for the right audience.

Caldwell Industries had a website built for their internal team — not for the people who actually buy from them. The navigation mirrored their department structure. The copy was written by their engineering team for their engineering team. Buyers arrived, could not find what they needed and left.

We started with diagnosis. Before a single wireframe was drawn, we built detailed buyer personas and mapped the real customer journeys. We found that the primary buyer — the operations director making the procurement decision — was not an engineer and the site gave them nothing to work with. The entire site was restructured around that buyer's decision process.

The Tests We Ran 5 Convertly A/B Tests
Test 01

Navigation structure

Department-based navigation tested against buyer-journey navigation organised around what buyers need to find. Buyers found key pages significantly faster.

Pages per session up 19%
Test 02

Hero headline for decision makers

Technical capability headline tested against an outcome-led headline written for the operations director. The outcome version significantly increased time on page.

Time on page up 24%
Test 03

Case study placement

Case studies moved from a dedicated page to inline on product and service pages at the exact point buyers are evaluating. Engagement with case studies increased substantially.

Case study clicks up 31%
Test 04

Enquiry form type

Full specification request form tested against a lighter two-step form asking only for the buyer's role and their primary challenge first. Completions increased meaningfully.

Form completions up 17%
Test 05

CTA copy and placement

Generic "Contact us" CTA tested against a specific "Request a capability assessment" placed at the end of each product section. The specific version outperformed on every page.

CTA clicks up 22%

The site did not need better design. It needed to be built for the people who were actually buying.

Every change was tested via Convertly. Every result was documented. Audience-first from the first wireframe.

Why Conxeva

We understand how B2B manufacturing buyers actually decide.

Manufacturing buyers take longer, involve more stakeholders and leave faster when they feel misunderstood. Everything we do is built around that reality.

01

We start with the buyer not the product

Every manufacturing engagement starts with buyer persona development. We map who is making the decision, what they need to see and in what order before we touch a single page on your site.

02

We translate technical capability into buyer value

We write and test copy that speaks to the person controlling the budget — not just the engineering team. The same capability, communicated in the language of the decision maker, converts at a significantly higher rate.

03

We optimise for long consideration cycles

B2B manufacturing buyers do not convert on the first visit. We build and test for the full research journey — from first impression to return visit to enquiry — not just the final click.
