The build
A site written for a technical buyer
Specs, materials, tolerances and capacity laid out in the terms a buyer already searches with — so they can qualify you without an enquiry, and enquire already half-scoped.
Electronics & Electrical
PCB assembly (EMS)
An EMS buyer arrives with a BOM, a board and a volume, and they decide fast whether your line suits their build — fine-pitch SMT and BGA, mixed-technology, the inspection and test they need, and how quickly you can turn a prototype.
Most EMS sites show a photo of a pick-and-place machine and a row of standards logos, which tells that buyer nothing about whether their particular board is a fit. I make your assembly capability, test regime and IPC class legible, so an engineer can match their board to your shop before they enquire — and I turn a BOM and Gerbers into a scoped RFQ instead of a slow email thread.
What I'd build you
A site that gets found, believed and quoted.
Found
Ranked for what you actually make
A page per process, material and sector instead of one “Services” page — every one its own door into the site, matched to how buyers search rather than how the business is organised.
Asked for
Named in the answer, not the results
Buyers ask an assistant before they ask a supplier, and it quotes whoever actually answered. Question-led content and structured data put your words in that answer.
Measured, not claimed
2.9s.
Time to main content on a phone, against 6.9s for the median of 5 comparable firms.
Reported
Numbers you can put in front of the MD
Speed, search visibility and enquiry volume measured on a regular cycle and reported back — so the site is answerable for something rather than just existing.
What I build for pcb assembly (ems)
-
Capability pages by assembly type — fine-pitch SMT/BGA, through-hole, mixed-technology — with component range and line count
-
Test and inspection content (AOI, X-ray, in-circuit and functional test) that proves you verify the build, not just place parts
-
An IPC-A-610 / J-STD-001 build-class page a buyer can match their board’s acceptance class to
-
A secure BOM + Gerber upload that captures quantity, build class, test requirement and turnaround up front
Frequently asked questions.
What manufacturers ask before they hire me. If yours is not here, ask it — the answer is usually short.
Can our customers submit a BOM or Gerbers to get a quote?
Yes — a secure upload flow takes the BOM and Gerbers plus quantity, build class and turnaround, so the job arrives scoped and you quote from complete information instead of chasing missing detail.
Do our IPC standards and inspection actually show up where a buyer looks?
I give your IPC-A-610 / J-STD-001 class and your test regime their own structured, schema-marked pages, so they surface in search and in AI answers rather than sitting as a logo in the footer a buyer has to squint at.
How do we prove we test and inspect, not just assemble?
I build content around your AOI, X-ray, in-circuit and functional test, because a buyer placing a critical board is checking that the assembly is verified — and that proof is what separates you from a cheaper shop on price.
Will we be found for the specific technology we run, like fine-pitch or BGA?
Capability pages target the exact terms — "fine-pitch SMT assembly", "BGA rework", "mixed-technology PCB assembly" — so a buyer with that board reaches you instead of a generic "electronics" listing that never ranks for their need.
Most of our value is fast prototype turnaround — can a site show that?
I make your prototype and quick-turn capability an explicit, findable offer, so the high-intent buyer who needs boards next week recognises the fit rather than assuming you only do production runs.
We want production volume, not just one-off prototypes — how do we attract it?
I build capacity and repeatability content — line count, throughput, in-process control — so a buyer sourcing a production partner sees you’re set up for volume, which is where the steady, better-margin work sits.
How is a customer’s BOM and design protected if it’s uploaded?
The upload goes straight to you, never to a public URL, and the flow is built to sit comfortably alongside an NDA — which matters when a buyer is sending a proprietary design.
