Valve manufacturer: RFQs ×3.1 after relaunch
PROBLEM

A 1,200-SKU business was running on a brochure site

The old website looked corporate but behaved like a PDF: weak information architecture, no scalable product templates and almost no search visibility for commercial B2B queries. Engineers could not filter products by pressure, material or connection type, and the sales team had to handle basic qualification manually.

1,200 SKUs existed internally, but fewer than 90 had indexable product pages;
Only 6 non-brand commercial keywords ranked in top-10 before the project;
RFQ flow was buried in the navigation and converted just 0.6% of sessions;
Product data lived across spreadsheets, PDFs and ERP exports with no SEO-ready structure.
SOLUTION · 16 WEEKS

Rebuild the site around product discovery and RFQ intent

We treated the relaunch as both a development and SEO project: scalable templates, clean taxonomy, technical specifications in crawlable HTML and conversion paths designed for procurement teams, not generic traffic.

WEEKS 1–2
Audit and information architecture
Mapped 1,200 SKUs into a searchable taxonomy by valve type, material, pressure class and industry use case; defined URL logic, filters and migration rules.
WEEKS 3–6
Design system and development
Built modular templates for category, product, industry and application pages; added technical spec blocks, downloadable datasheets and persistent RFQ CTAs.
WEEKS 7–10
Technical SEO rollout
Implemented indexation controls, canonicals, internal linking, breadcrumb schema, Product and Organization markup, plus page-speed fixes across catalog templates.
WEEKS 11–16
Content population and launch
Published 1,200 SKU pages, 38 category/application pages and migrated legacy URLs with redirects; configured GA4 events to track RFQs by source, product family and landing page.
RESULT · 8 MONTHS

The website became a sales asset, not just a brand asset

FAQ

Frequent questions

Didn’t find your answer — ask on Telegram, we reply within 2 hours.
How do you measure whether a B2B catalog relaunch is actually working?
We track RFQ requests by source in GA4, plus organic's share of those RFQs and rankings for commercial B2B keywords. For this Hamburg valve manufacturer, RFQs rose from 26 to 81 per month, organic's share grew from 9% to 28%, and B2B keywords in the top 3 went from 3 to 54.
How long does it take to see more RFQs after a catalog and SEO relaunch?
Over 8 months, RFQs roughly tripled, from 26 to 81 per month, while indexable product pages grew from 87 to 1,200, which is what let long-tail technical searches start converting into quote requests.
Why use WordPress instead of specialized catalog software for 1,200 SKUs?
WordPress with ACF let the team manage structured product data and SEO templates in one system, without a separate catalog-management platform. A defined taxonomy by valve type, material, pressure class and use case did the organizing work specialized software would otherwise handle, at lower setup cost and complexity.
What was the biggest challenge in this relaunch?
The biggest challenge was turning 1,200 SKUs that existed only in spreadsheets, PDFs and ERP exports into a searchable taxonomy by valve type, material, pressure class and use case. Before the project, fewer than 90 of those SKUs even had indexable pages.
