A UK B2B injection moulding manufacturer with no page-1 rankings. Four months later: 3,911 organic leads, 12 of its 15 core terms on Google page 1, and named the top recommended supplier in Perplexity.

Key results

  • 0 to 3,911 organic leads in 4 months
  • 12 of 15 core commercial terms ranking on Google page 1
  • Missing from Perplexity at the start, named the top recommended supplier by month 2

The Challenge

Strong Product, Invisible in Search

The client is a UK manufacturer selling injection moulding to other businesses. Buyers in this market search for suppliers by process and capability, but the site had no page-1 rankings for those terms and was absent from AI answers about its own category.

Zero Page-1 Rankings
None of the commercial terms that procurement teams search for put the site on Google page 1.
Invisible in AI Answers
When buyers asked Perplexity for suppliers, it cited three competitor brands, mostly from old directory listings. The client was not mentioned.
Service Pages Not Built to Convert
The pages that should turn a technical buyer into an enquiry were not written around what buyers need to see before they get in touch.

The Strategy

Commercial-Intent SEO + Entity Signals

I focused the work on the small set of searches that bring in real B2B enquiries, then made sure both Google and AI engines understood exactly what the manufacturer does.

01
Pillar 1 - Commercial-Intent Research on 15 Core Terms
Instead of chasing volume, I picked 15 core terms that buyers use when they are looking for a supplier, and mapped each one to a page.
02
Pillar 2 - Technical Fixes
Fixed the technical issues that held the key pages back, so Google could crawl and index them properly.
03
Pillar 3 - Service Pages Rewritten for Conversion
Rewrote the service pages so they answer a technical buyer's questions and lead to an enquiry.
04
Pillar 4 - Authority Links Through HARO and Outreach
Earned authority links through HARO answers and outreach, rather than buying links.
05
Pillar 5 - Entity Restructuring for AI Search
Restructured how the brand and its capabilities were described across its key pages and the wider web, so AI engines could connect the brand to its category.

The Results

0 to 3,911 Organic Leads in 4 Months

The combined SEO and entity work moved the site from no page-1 visibility to a steady flow of organic enquiries within four months.

Key Takeaways

B2B SEO Wins on Buyer Intent, Not Volume

For a B2B manufacturer, a short list of commercial-intent terms matters more than traffic volume. Ranking for the 15 searches buyers actually use, on pages written to convert, is what produced the leads.

AI search is now part of B2B supplier research. Clear entity signals took this brand from missing in Perplexity to its top recommendation, alongside the Google gains.
