challenge
Researchers and procurement officers queried answer engines for specific component specialists and got broad overviews back. The job was to make the brand the cited definitive source for both the educational query and the vendor query.
approach
Replaced commercial copy with strict technical definition pages mapped to the vetting specs used in procurement.
Structured the AEO foundation so answer engines cite the brand, then surfaced search pages to capture the validation searches those citations trigger.
Ignored broad keywords. Optimized strictly for niche, high-intent component prompts that close the full validation loop.
outcome
Research surface impression share moved from 20% to 57%. The pipeline is intentionally narrow: 2 qualified leads captured per month, each with a six- to seven-figure contract ceiling.
