SEO FOR CNC MACHINE SHOPS

Engineers and buyers pick a shop from a short list. We build the equipment, materials, and tolerance pages that get you on it, and the RFQ form that arrives with a drawing and a quantity.

// HOW MACHINE SHOPS GET NEW CUSTOMERS

Most shop work is referral and repeat. Marketplaces and supplier portals add some, and search widens the RFQ list and passes the credibility check when a buyer looks you up. The search results for your processes decide whether an engineer sends the print to you or to the next shop on the list.

The drawing-ready buyer

An engineer searches a process, a material, and a region, then sends a print to the shops that show the right machines.

  • → What machines and travels do you have?
  • → Which materials and tolerances do you hold?

The credibility check

After a referral, a buyer opens your site to confirm the equipment, the quality system, and one clear way to send a drawing.

  • → Where is the equipment list?
  • → How do I send a print?

The instant-quote benchmark

Online quote platforms set price expectations. A shop answers with lead time, quality documents, and a person to talk to, not a race on price.

The machinist search

The shop that cannot hire cannot take work. A careers page gives candidates a place to land.

// PAGES AND THE QUESTION EACH ANSWERS

Process pages

One page per process you run, built with the SEO work that gets an engineer's process and region search to land on it.

Buyer asks:
  • • Do you run 5-axis, Swiss turning, or grinding?
  • • What work envelope do you have?
  • • What lot sizes do you take?
Page shows:
  • • The processes you run
  • • Named machines and travels
  • • An RFQ link

Materials and tolerances

What the shop holds, by material. Each page lists the tolerance held on a named machine.

Buyer asks:
  • • Can you machine this alloy?
  • • What tolerance can you hold?
  • • Do you supply material certs?
Page shows:
  • • Materials by process
  • • Tolerances on named machines
  • • Material cert availability

Quality and documentation

The page a buyer checks after a referral, and where certificates the shop holds are shown with number, scope, and expiry.

Buyer asks:
  • • What inspection equipment do you have?
  • • What documents ship with parts?
  • • Which certifications do you hold?
Page shows:
  • • Inspection equipment with model and range

// WHAT THE FREE RFQ TEARDOWN LOOKS AT

What the free teardown looks at

✓ Your last ten RFQs

We read them for what each one was missing.

✓ The form walk-through

We use your form on a phone, the way a buyer would.

✓ A search check on your top five processes

What an engineer in your region sees.

✓ Marketplace versus site

What a directory listing gives you compared with what your own site gives you.

// WHEN SEARCH ISN'T THE CHANNEL

If your shop is booked on repeat orders, a search program is not what you need. In that case we recommend a one-page capability sheet and a clean RFQ form, and nothing more.
