Frequently Asked Questions About Heavy Machinery Marketing
Can you support both direct sales and dealer network marketing?
Yes. We build strategies that generate leads for both your direct sales team and your dealer network. We can create dealer locator tools, territory-specific landing pages, and co-branded content that supports your channel partners.
How do you handle marketing for equipment with long purchase cycles?
We create content that supports buyers at every stage of their research, from early comparison and specification review through final purchase evaluation. This keeps your brand visible throughout the months-long decision process.
Do you work with both new equipment sales and parts/service marketing?
Yes. We create separate strategies for equipment sales, parts, and service departments because each has different buyer audiences and search behaviors. All three areas benefit from strong digital visibility.
How long before SEO drives meaningful traffic for heavy equipment keywords?
Most heavy machinery companies see improvements within three to six months. Equipment-specific keywords are often less competitive than consumer terms, and the high value per sale means that even a small increase in qualified traffic can produce significant revenue impact.
