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.
Transport Equipment
Driveline and transmission work — gears, shafts, couplings, axles — is bought by application: a motorsport gearset, a commercial-vehicle axle and an off-highway final drive are different sales to different buyers who search in their own language.
Most driveline sites list ‘transmission components’ and leave the buyer to guess whether you understand their world. I build the site around the vehicle markets you serve and the precision you hold, so a buyer recognises their application immediately and the approvals that matter to it are right there. Sector fit is what turns a browse into a serious enquiry here.
What I'd build you
The build
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.
Found
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
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
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 driveline & transmission
Application pages by vehicle market (motorsport, commercial vehicle, off-highway, rail, marine)
Capability content on gear quality grade, hardening / heat-treat and materials
A reverse-engineering path for obsolete and legacy driveline components
A technical enquiry flow capturing component, application, ratio/spec and volumes
What manufacturers ask before they hire me. If yours is not here, ask it — the answer is usually short.
I build application-led pages for each market you supply, because a motorsport buyer and a commercial-vehicle buyer self-identify by their world — and a site that speaks their language wins the enquiry a generic parts list loses.
Component pages target the exact terms buyers and AI use, so specialist driveline work reaches you instead of routing the buyer to a general machine shop that ‘also does gears’.
Capability content states gear quality grade, heat-treatment and inspection, so a serious driveline buyer can confirm you hold the spec before they enquire.
Yes — I build a reverse-engineering path for buyers who need a component remade from a sample or a failed part, a high-intent enquiry most driveline sites never speak to.
Each approval gets its own structured, schema-marked page, so it shows up for the buyers and AI assistants in the markets where it’s a shortlist condition.
An enquiry flow captures the component, application, ratio or spec and volumes up front, so you can quote accurately without a chain of clarifying emails.
