Platforms and tools we work across every day
A distributor's value is breadth, but breadth is invisible if each line is not findable. Buyers search for a specific brand, part, or category, and they land with whoever ranks, often a competitor carrying the same product.
We make the whole catalog findable: line and brand pages that rank, clean architecture across thousands of products, and the visibility that gets a distributor shortlisted for the search that matters.
Why distributors search works differently.
Before any tactics, it is worth being specific about why the usual advice does not transfer here. These are the things that make this category behave differently from a normal local business or a simple retail store.
Competing with the brands you carry
Manufacturers outrank you for their own product terms.
Enormous catalogs, thin pages
Data-fed pages with no unique content cannot rank.
Regional relevance
You serve defined territories but rank nowhere specific.
A page that is never crawled can never rank.
Large catalogs waste crawl budget on duplicates, filters, and dead ends. We make sure crawlers reach the pages that can earn revenue and skip the ones that cannot.
Built for how distributors sell.
Every item here is something we actually do and hand over, not a line on a proposal.
Brand and line pages
Rankable pages for every brand and product line you distribute.
Large catalog SEO
Template and schema work that scales across thousands of products.
Local and national
Reach both regional buyers and national accounts from one site.
Feed and Shopping
Product feeds that unlock free and paid Shopping visibility.
Answer and AI visibility
Being named when buyers ask AI where to source a product.
Technical at scale
Indexation and crawl control for a very large catalog.
The vocabulary of the line card.
Distribution buyers search by brand, territory, and availability. We build around how they actually source.
Why product and B2B brands choose us.
Catalog businesses get handed generic playbooks constantly. We work in these categories every day, so we start from your product data and your buyers rather than from a template built for a local service business.

What we run for this industry.
Not every business needs all of this. The mix depends on whether your buyers are local, national, or both, and on how much of your catalog is worth exposing.
What a working search program does here.
We are deliberately not promising rankings or revenue numbers, because anyone who does that before seeing your site is guessing. What we can describe honestly is the kind of change a properly built program produces.
Found at the research stage
Show up while buyers are still building a shortlist, not after.
Catalog depth that ranks
More of your products and categories visible instead of a handful.
Named in AI answers
Get cited when someone asks an assistant for options in your category.
Qualified inquiries
Traffic that arrives already understanding what you sell and to whom.
How we approach this differently.
Most of the difference is not clever tactics. It is that we treat the catalog as the primary asset instead of an afterthought, and we write for the person doing the sourcing rather than for a word count.
Every stage leaks, and every stage is fixable.
Impressions become clicks, clicks become sessions, sessions become inquiries. Improving the weakest step usually costs less than buying more traffic.
Chicago based, working across the country.
Search demand in this industry is national. We work with clients in every region, delivered remotely with senior people on the account.
Each state above has its own page. Not listed? We work in all fifty, so just ask.
Other categories we work in.
Neighbouring categories, often with the same buying behaviour and the same search problems.
Chicago based, working nationwide.
Seventeen Chicago area service areas plus state level coverage in twenty states.
