Six industries,
six acquisition playbooks

We don’t do every industry — we focus on 6 core B2B manufacturing sectors.
Not just six names, but six field-tested playbooks that all start with market testing.

6 core B2B industriesBuilt for manufacturersTest the market before chasing growth

Each playbook answers six questions: who the buyers are, how to reach them, how they decide, common pitfalls, which markets, and where to start.
The playbooks differ because buyer decision paths differ — but the starting point is the same: test the market first.

01 Machinery

📍SEA infrastructure / EU equipment replacement
Industry & buyers

General machinery, construction machinery and machine tools — buyers are mostly overseas factories and distributors with long decision chains that weigh specs and trust.

Buyer decision path

“Spec comparison → sample / factory audit → price negotiation” in three stages, 3–9 months. Distributors and end factories search with different keywords — both lines need pages to catch them.

Acquisition playbook
Buyers search specific models and applications, not broad industry terms. Long-tail SEO on model + application terms — spec and application pages catch scattered searches one page at a time.
Common pitfalls
!One generic landing page for all models — buyers compare specs and leave; a site with only a company intro, no spec sheets or selection tools, never builds trust.
Where to start
Test model-keyword search volume and competition in the target market first, then decide site structure and budget.

02 Industrial Equipment

📍Europe / N. America / Middle East
Industry & buyers

Production lines, testing equipment, automation — high ticket sizes with heavy online research before decisions.

Buyer decision path

Internal research before project approval (tech docs · peer case references) → supplier shortlist → negotiation / tender. Research can run for months — whoever’s content shows up during it makes the list.

Acquisition playbook
Content assets decide the shortlist — buyers finish most research before contacting sales. Tech docs, selection guides and application cases decide whether you make the list.
Common pitfalls
!Only product pages, no technical assets — buyers comparing solutions can’t find you; “contact us” as the only conversion ignores that research-stage buyers won’t hand over a phone number.
Where to start
Break down how target-market buyers research, and place content assets at every decision touchpoint.

03 New Energy

📍Europe / Middle East / LatAm
Industry & buyers

Solar, storage, EV charging and components — strongly policy-driven; market heat and certification barriers vary by country.

Buyer decision path

Policy / subsidy-driven project approval → certification and compliance screening → supplier comparison and capacity checks. Compliance is a veto — certification content is your first acquisition gateway.

Acquisition playbook
Policy keywords + certification proof — subsidies and certification requirements are the buyers’ search entry points. Clear compliance first; price talks come later.
Common pitfalls
!Talking products but not certifications or local policy fit gets you crossed off in round one; one shared English site for all countries ignores how search entry points and policies differ by market.
Where to start
Sequence market entry by national policy cycles, and use certification content to clear buyers’ compliance screen first.

04 Medical Devices

📍Regulated EU/US markets first
Industry & buyers

Finished devices, consumables and precision CDMO parts — compliance-driven buyers who weigh certifications and quality systems.

Buyer decision path

Compliance pre-screening → quality system review → samples / factory audit. Decision-makers spread across registration, R&D and procurement lines — each role researches and searches differently.

Acquisition playbook
Certification content + trade shows — turn your quality system into searchable content assets, and use professional trade shows where decision-maker density is highest.
Common pitfalls
!Certifications buried in PDFs that search engines can’t read — as good as none; trade shows with no content afterwards turn one investment into one stack of business cards, then nothing findable online.
Where to start
Map the target market’s compliance bar and buyer research venues — the window around trade shows is the best time for content.

05 Auto Parts

📍NA AM / EU OEM
Industry & buyers

OEM supply and aftermarket (AM) are two different games — buyer structures and search habits differ completely.

Buyer decision path

OEM runs on system audits and annual sourcing cycles measured in years; AM buyers search instantly by “model + part number” and care about coverage, stock and shipping speed — the two rarely overlap.

Acquisition playbook
OEM and AM run as separate channels — OEM buyers weigh system audits and long-term supply; AM buyers weigh model coverage and stock. One site can’t serve both.
Common pitfalls
!OEM and AM share one site and one set of content — both sides feel “this isn’t for me”; an AM site without fitment models and stock status lets buyers bounce to the next supplier even after they find you.
Where to start
First decide whether your product follows OEM or AM logic — the two lines need completely different site structures and channels.

06 Electronic Components

📍Globally scattered; research happens online
Industry & buyers

Passive components, connectors, PCB — model-driven search where specs and stock availability close deals.

Buyer decision path

Engineers search by model / spec → compare datasheets → request samples → small trial orders. The whole journey happens online; page speed and spec completeness directly win or lose the trial order.

Acquisition playbook
Model-number SEO is the main battlefield — engineers search exact part numbers. Spec sheets, datasheets and alternate-part pages are the core content assets.
Common pitfalls
!Model pages with photos but no spec sheets or manual downloads — engineers compare, then close the tab; missing alternate-part pages waste the highest-intent searches like “part out of stock, find substitute”.
Where to start
Survey search demand across your part-number library, and prioritize content by model popularity.
