Grow Inbound Leads

The 20-year-old SEO playbook is dead. We’re running the new one, built for AI, GEO, and the new watering holes like Reddit, where AIs are mining and your buyers swap war stories about which vendors actually deliver.

Traditional inbound strategies aren’t just dead. They’re decomposing.

Have your inbound leads been tanking since 2024? We hate being the bearers of bad news, but it hasn’t bottomed out yet.

FAQ

Inbound Marketing for Supply Chain Leaders

Because search has changed. Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and other tools now answer questions directly. Without sending traffic to your site. Even if you rank #1, your buyer might never see or click it. The old playbook doesn’t cut it anymore.

It means showing up wherever buyers are doing research (not just Google). That includes Reddit threads, LinkedIn posts, industry newsletters, niche forums, and AI-generated answers. We get you cited, mentioned, and surfaced across all of it.

We don’t just write blogs. We build systems that:

  • Get you mentioned in industry conversations
  • Place you in Reddit and LinkedIn discussions (without being spammy)
  • Make sure AI tools cite your brand in their answers
  • Convert traffic into real leads using reports, tools, and exclusive content

We convert visibility into leads by creating:

  • Gated industry reports
  • Private access tools or communities
  • Automated nurture emails

These turn anonymous traffic into qualified prospects your sales team can work with.

AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity pull answers from a mix of websites, forums, and sources. If your brand doesn’t appear on those sources, it won’t show up in the answer. We help make sure you do.

Not much. You give us access to your experts, sales priorities, and ideal customers. We handle the research, writing, distribution, and tracking. No marketing degree needed.
