Client
Kerf Developments supplies high-spec kerf cutting machinery to serious buyers who expect precision. They brought us in to rebuild their digital presence and turn their website and marketing into a reliable lead engine. We own the web, SEO, content, and PPC, and deliver a steady flow of qualified enquiries from the markets that matter.
The Brief
Kerf needed more than a new website. They wanted a digital setup that matched the weight of their machinery and the complexity of their sales cycle. The goal: increase high-quality enquiries from UK and international manufacturing buyers, while cutting out wasted spend and low-value clicks.
Platform
We rebuilt Kerf’s site on our bespoke WordPress tier, designed for manufacturers with complex products and long buying journeys. We provided on site photograpky of the machines in action.
Key work:
-
Structured navigation around product ranges and use cases
-
Clear paths for buyers at different stages of research and procurement
-
Photography and visuals that actually show the machinery in context
-
Technical content laid out for engineers and decision-makers, not casual browsers
The result is a site built as a sales asset rather than a digital brochure.
The site now attracts more of the right people and turns a far higher share of them into enquiries.
Paid Media: Turning Spend into Demand
We run Kerf’s entire PPC estate across Google Search, Display, and YouTube. The aim is simple: dominate key intent and keep the pipeline busy without wasted ad spend.
Search Ads
We structured campaigns by product line, buyer intent, and geography.
This includes:
-
High-intent campaigns for buyers ready to speak to sales
-
Mid-funnel terms for solution and problem research
-
Brand protection and competitor terms where the commercial case stacks up
This setup delivers an account-wide CTR above 6%, over triple the Google benchmark, and drives a consistent stream of qualified enquiries.
YouTube Ads
Kerf’s machinery sells better when buyers see it in action.
We built tightly defined audience sets around job titles, industries, and in-market behaviour, then pushed Kerf’s video assets into those areas.
Each month, the campaigns deliver:
-
View-through rates above 17.5%
-
More than 590 hours of watched video from a targeted audience
This raises brand familiarity long before buyers hit a form.
Display Ads
Display reinforces awareness and keeps Kerf visible during a long consideration cycle.
We use remarketing and contextual placements to keep impressions focused rather than broad and wasteful.
Current performance:
-
800,000+ impressions each month
-
CTR consistently above 1% against a 0.35% Google average
SEO
Our SEO strategy focuses on the language serious buyers use when they research machinery and cutting systems.
Core work:
-
Technical optimisation for speed, structure, and crawl health
-
On-page optimisation aligned to product, capability, and industry terms
-
Internal linking shaped around buyer journeys and commercial priority
Results
Kerf now holds top-three positions for multiple high-value keywords where they previously had little or no presence. Organic traffic has grown more than five-fold, and a far greater share of visits arrive through relevant, high-intent search terms.
Content
We manage Kerf’s ongoing content programme to support both SEO and sales conversations.
This includes:
-
Long-form guides and articles around processes, materials, and applications
-
Product and solution content that speaks directly to engineers, operators, and procurement teams
-
Updates that tie Kerf’s capabilities to real-world manufacturing challenges
Every piece serves a clear role: attracting qualified visitors, supporting rankings for key terms, or helping sales teams move opportunities forward. Over time, this builds Kerf’s authority as a trusted source in their space.
A Lead Engine, Not Just a Website
Today, Kerf’s digital setup functions as a lead generation engine rather than a static brochure. The website, SEO, content, and PPC all work as one system, feeding the sales pipeline with buyers who understand the value of their machines.
We continue to manage the whole stack, adjust budget and channel mix based on performance, and align activity with Kerf’s commercial priorities and product roadmap.
