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.
Machining & Precision
Toolmaking & dies
Toolmakers and die shops sell rare expertise and lead time — the tool types you make, the industries you serve, and whether a buyer can trust you to turn a tool around (or repair one) when a line is down.
It's relationship-heavy work, but new buyers still start with a search or an AI query. I build sites that explain your capability plainly and make starting a tooling enquiry — new-build or urgent repair — effortless.
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 toolmaking & dies
-
Capability pages by tool type (press tools, injection/mould tools, jigs & fixtures, gauges)
-
A tool-repair / urgent-enquiry path for buyers with a line down
-
Design-collaboration and DFM content that positions you as a partner, not a vendor
-
An enquiry flow capturing tool type, part, volumes and timeline
Frequently asked questions.
What manufacturers ask before they hire me. If yours is not here, ask it — the answer is usually short.
How do we convey toolmaking capability when every shop says "precision toolmaking"?
I structure content by the tool types you actually make — press tools, mould tools, jigs, gauges — with the industries and materials you serve, so a buyer recognises their specific need instead of reading another generic claim.
Can a buyer with a line down reach us fast for a repair?
I build a distinct tool-repair/urgent path, because a maintenance engineer with a broken tool is a different, high-intent buyer from someone planning a new-build tool, and they need to reach you in one click.
A lot of our value is design and DFM input — can the site show that?
Content that talks through design collaboration, tool life and DFM trade-offs positions you as a partner who improves the part, which is what justifies your price over a cheaper tool source.
How do new tooling enquiries get captured with enough detail to quote?
An enquiry flow captures the tool type, the part, expected volumes and the timeline up front, so you can scope realistically instead of guessing.
Will we be found for a specific tool type or industry?
Capability and application pages target the exact terms — "progression press tools", "injection mould toolmaker" — so the right buyer and the AI assistants find you for what you genuinely do.
We work to long lead times — how do we set that expectation without losing the enquiry?
Honest lead-time and process content qualifies buyers before they enquire, so the ones who reach you already understand the timeline and you waste fewer quotes on jobs that were never a fit.
