The problem
What is costing you enquiries.
Common reasons a sheet metal fabricator site loses enquiries. Some of them will not apply to you; the free audit says which do.
- Machine capability is described in adjectives rather than figures, so an engineer cannot tell whether a part fits.
- The contact form cannot take CAD files, so RFQs arrive by email without the details needed to quote.
- Finishing options are missing, leaving buyers unsure whether they need a second supplier for powder coating or plating.
- Photos show the building and the machines but not the parts they make.
- Certification is mentioned in passing without scope, dates or a way to verify it.
What is included
One rebuild, everything in it.
A capability table with sheet sizes, thicknesses by material, bending capacity, tolerances and finishes, using your real figures.
Pages for each process, such as laser cutting, folding, punching, welding and assembly, and each common material.
An RFQ form that accepts several CAD files and asks for quantity, material, finish and delivery date.
A quality page covering inspection, traceability and any certification you hold.
A parts gallery organised by process and sector, with client names only where agreed.
Your Google Business Profile with accurate hours, location and photos of parts and machines.
Getting found in Stoke-on-Trent
Local search, done properly.
Stoke-on-Trent is a Staffordshire city famous for its pottery industry, with a population of 260,000.
In a large town the buyers are manufacturers on the industrial estates, shopfitters, HVAC and electrical contractors needing enclosures and ductwork parts, and design engineers at nearby firms. Shops in neighbouring towns bid for the same RFQs, so the site needs to make capacity and reliability easy to judge: machines, sheet sizes and thicknesses, finishing arrangements, delivery radius and typical lead times. A page for each process and common material gives an engineer the facts they need to shortlist.
Stoke-on-Trent is large enough that the first page for sheet metal fabricator searches is genuinely contested, and directories take several of the slots. Ranking above a directory is easier than ranking above a competitor, because a directory cannot say anything specific about the work. Firms in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford show up in the same results, because Google's idea of "near me" does not stop at the city boundary.
Stoke-on-Trent is known for its ceramics heritage, oatcake, and industrial regeneration. That shapes who is searching, what they expect to pay and how far they will travel, so a site for sheet metal fabricators here should read like it belongs in Staffordshire, not like a template with the town name swapped in.
What it costs
£1,495, one-off.
The Growth Website is £1,495. That is the whole rebuild for a sheet metal fabricator business in Stoke-on-Trent: the audit, rewriting how you explain the work, design, build, the conversion and local search groundwork, tracking, speed and launch. About 14 working days. You own it outright.
Ongoing care is £149 a month if you want it, and nothing if you do not. There is no setup fee and no minimum term.

Questions
The ones that come up.
Should we publish our machine list?
Yes, with the specifications that matter to a buyer: bed size, maximum thickness per material, tonnage and bend length. Engineers use those figures to decide whether a part suits your process. Keep it current, because a machine list that is several years out of date suggests nobody looks after the site.
Can the website show our quote turnaround and lead times?
Yes, as typical ranges that you can meet, with a note on what affects them. Buyers under pressure want to know whether a quote comes back the same day or next week. If turnaround changes with workload, it can be updated quickly through Growth Care.
Is a website really how engineers find a subcontractor?
It is often part of it. Buyers find suppliers through referrals, trade directories, procurement portals and search, and in almost every case they look at the website before sending a drawing. A site that states capability clearly makes the shortlist easier; one that hides it behind a contact form makes it harder.
We also do one-off jobs for local customers. Should that be on the site?
If you want that work, yes, on its own page. Explain the kinds of one-off jobs you take, such as replacement panels, brackets or small runs, how to send a sketch or measurements, and any minimum order. Keeping it separate stops it cluttering the industrial pages while still bringing in useful local work.
