I help B2B manufacturers turn $3K-$8K monthly ad budgets into high-ticket leads. While most agencies push automation that tanks small accounts, I use manual PPC strategy to find your next $75K contract. Most manufacturing marketing advice will wreck your budget. The gurus tell you to trust the algorithm, flip on Performance Max, and let Google handle it. Great if you're selling t-shirts. Not so much when you're chasing a specialized fabrication contract. I'm Corey. Before digital marketing for manufacturers became my thing, I spent 17 years as a mechanical draftsman. When I look at your account, I don't see "optimization opportunities." I see tolerances out of spec and a system that needs to be rebuilt from the print up. Why PPC for manufacturers is different: - The Math of Failure: Smart Bidding needs 30-50 conversions a month to learn. Most manufacturers get 5-10. The algorithm never gets enough data, so it just guesses. With your money. - Manual Bidding: I target the guy searching "custom CNC machining services" at 2am because he's got a deadline and a PO. And I block the job seekers and tire-kickers before they click. - Offline Conversion Tracking: We optimize for actual RFQs and sales conversations, not clicks. When your $12K deal closes, Google learns that's what we're hunting. Manufacturing lead generation for: - CNC Machining & Injection Molding - Custom Metal Fabrication & Industrial Equipment - Material Handling & Plant Operations - Heavy Equipment Repair - AS9100 / ISO Certified Manufacturers Questions I get a lot: We tried Google Ads before, and it was a money pit. What's different? Most agencies don't understand High-Ticket, Low-Volume businesses. B2B lead generation isn't e-commerce. I audit the leakage before we spend a dime. Our industry has tiny search volume. Can you help? That's my sweet spot. I'd rather capture 100% of a small pool of real buyers than chase clicks that go nowhere. What's wrong with Performance Max? Nothing, if you've got a massive budget and volume. For a manufacturer spending $3K-$8K a month? It's a fancy way to let Google spend your money however it wants. My guess is you've probably been burned. Agencies who vanished after the contract was signed. "Specialists" who didn't know a lathe from a lunch break. I'm just a guy who does marketing for manufacturers and knows how to make Google Ads work for businesses like yours. Send me a message. I'll tell you whether I can help. Best, Corey Koehler P.S. If you have any questions or would just like to pick my brain, send me a message right now so we can set up a free 30-minute phone or video call.
