The situation before De Marketing

A chemical analysis and materials testing lab with a strong technical team. Their marketing consisted of posting on social media with no strategy and attending trade shows. A technical website with no conversion optimization or SEO.

Entirely dependent on trade shows and referrals

Key insight

Technical services don't need generic marketing — they need niche SEO and language that translates capabilities into benefits. We found keywords no one in their sector was targeting, with low volume but extremely high intent. Every lead that came in had a real need. The decision to upgrade to a CRM in month 4 was critical: without it, they would have lost opportunities due to lack of follow-up in a sector where quotes take weeks to close.
