Featured Case Study

How did one Michigan thermoformer 5X its RFQs in 24 months?

Vantage Plastics & its family of 5 companies

Vantage Plastics, a mid-market Michigan thermoformer, was running a basic brochure site that buyers could not find or compare. We rebuilt a full marketing system across the flagship and every sister brand, then measured the only outcome that matters to a quote-driven shop: verified requests for quote.

How We Measure

What counts as a result here?

A result is a number tied to revenue, not a vanity metric. We track four things in order of business value, report them on a shared dashboard, and read them as a sequence: visibility leads to engagement, engagement leads to pipeline, pipeline leads to qualified inquiries. Most of the movement shows up over 3 to 6 months as the work compounds, not in the first few weeks.

Qualified RFQs & inquiries

The inquiries your sales team would actually take a call on, counted from your CRM or RFQ records, not from form spam. For Vantage Plastics this went from 30 to 152 over 24 months. This is the number we optimize toward.

Pipeline & conversion

How inquiries move from first visit to quote. We watch which pages and content sources produce the inquiries that close, then put more weight behind what works and cut what does not.

Engagement

Organic clicks, time on key capability pages, and social interaction from the right buyers. Vantage organic clicks grew from 2,000 to 18,100, a signal that the right people are reading, not just arriving.

Search impressions

The top of the funnel: how often you show up when buyers search. Vantage went from 466,000 to 2.1 million impressions. Useful as an early indicator, but it is the input to RFQs, never the headline.

Results compound. The first 90 days build the foundation; the meaningful curve in RFQs and pipeline typically appears across months 3 to 6 and keeps climbing from there. See how engagements are structured
