Featured Case Study
How a $5M CNC Machine Shop Generated 47 Qualified RFQs in...
The Challenge
The client had been spending $3,500/month on Google Ads with a generalist agency that produced traffic but zero qualified RFQ submissions. Their organic presence was buried on page 3 for their core service keywords despite having ISO 9001 certification and 22 years in business.
Our Approach
We rebuilt their keyword architecture around specification-based queries, redesigned their website with RFQ-first conversion paths, created 12 technical application guides, implemented full Product and Service schema markup, and optimized for GEO citations in AI search results.
“Before working with DMFM, we had agencies that could not even pronounce CNC correctly. Now our inbound RFQ pipeline is full enough that we stopped running paid ads entirely.”
