LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads, SEO and content marketing for Australian manufacturers, wholesalers and industrial businesses — engineered around the trade buyer, the RFQ process and the long B2B sales cycle.
Australian business hours (AEST/AEDT) — Monday to Saturday.
What Is Quietly Costing Your Manufacturing Business
The industrial buyer has moved online. These are the four gaps we see most often in Australian manufacturing businesses that are missing the leads their competitors are capturing.
Trade buyers finding your competitors first on Google
Your website was built in 2014 and ranks for nothing your customers search. While procurement managers type in exactly what you make, your competitors claim the traffic — and the RFQ.
Relying on reps and trade shows that yield fewer leads every year
The industrial buyer has moved online and your sales team has not. Trade shows are expensive, reps are stretched, and the pipeline that used to flow from relationships is thinning out every financial year.
RFQ process takes 6+ weeks and only 20% convert
Marketing qualified leads before they reach sales shortens the cycle dramatically. When a procurement manager has already read your capability statement, seen your certifications and understood your capacity, the RFQ conversation starts three steps ahead.
No way to showcase manufacturing capability, certifications, and capacity online
Procurement teams vet suppliers online before making contact. If your ISO certifications, machining tolerances, production capacity and lead times are not visible on a well-structured website, you are not on the shortlist.
Why Australian Manufacturers Choose Madsun
Four reasons manufacturing businesses trust us with their B2B lead generation — and keep renewing month after month.
Industrial Buyer Psychology
We understand that procurement managers and engineers do not buy like consumers. Every campaign is built around the industrial buying process — multiple stakeholders, long evaluation cycles, RFQ stages and supply chain risk considerations.
LinkedIn Expertise for Manufacturing
LinkedIn is the single most effective paid channel for reaching procurement managers, plant managers and operations directors in Australian manufacturing. We run it properly — targeting, creative, lead-gen forms and follow-up sequences.
Technical SEO for Industrial Websites
Manufacturing websites are technically complex — product catalogues, capability matrices, certification pages, downloadable spec sheets. We make all of it findable, indexable and conversion-optimised for the trade buyer.
RFQ-Level Attribution
We track beyond the lead form — through to RFQ submission, quote stage and supply agreement close. Every AUD spent on marketing is attributed to real industrial pipeline, not just clicks and impressions.

B2B Marketing Services for Australian Manufacturers
Six capabilities deployed as an integrated program — each one designed around the industrial buyer and the RFQ pipeline, not vanity metrics.
LinkedIn Ads
Targeted campaigns reaching procurement managers, engineers and operations directors by job title, company size and industry. We run sponsored content, conversation ads and lead-gen forms built for the industrial buyer — not the consumer.
Google Ads B2B
High-intent industrial search terms — "custom metal fabrication Queensland", "ISO 9001 contract manufacturer Australia" — captured at the exact moment a procurement manager is searching for what you make.
Technical SEO
Product category pages, capability pages, ISO certification content and technical specification pages structured for both Google and the industrial buyer. We build the crawlable, indexable foundation your website currently lacks.
Content Marketing
Capability statements, case studies, industry whitepapers and technical guides that position your business as the credible supplier choice — content that procurement teams actually read before shortlisting.
Trade Show Follow-Up Email Sequences
Every trade show contact captured and nurtured with timely, personalised email sequences. We convert the stack of business cards into pipeline — automated, tracked and attributed back to revenue.
B2B Lead Tracking & CRM Integration
Full-funnel tracking from first Google click to closed supply agreement — integrated with your CRM so sales and marketing share one version of the truth on lead quality, source and RFQ conversion rate.
What Makes Australian Manufacturing Marketing Different
Generic B2B playbooks do not work for industrial businesses. Here is what we account for that most marketing agencies miss entirely.
ISO Certification Content Strategy
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AS/NZS standards — your certifications are a competitive advantage that procurement teams search for. We build dedicated, SEO-structured certification pages that rank and convert.
Australian Made & Local Supply Chain Angle
Post-pandemic procurement teams in Australia actively prioritise local supply chain resilience. We build the "Australian Made" and "local capability" angle into your digital presence to capture this buyer intent.
State-Based Industrial Cluster Targeting
Queensland mining supply chain, Victoria advanced manufacturing, South Australia defence industry, Western Australia resources sector — we tailor your Google Ads and LinkedIn targeting to the industrial clusters that matter for your business.
Capacity & Lead Time Transparency
Industrial buyers want to know you can actually deliver. We help you present capacity, minimum order quantities, lead times and production scheduling online — the information that turns a website visit into an RFQ.
Government & Defence Supplier Positioning
Federal and state government procurement, ASC, CASG and defence prime contractors require specific capability positioning and compliance signals. We understand the AU defence supply chain marketing context.
Manufacturing Sectors We Specialise In
Same B2B discipline, sharpened for the vocabulary, buyer titles and sales motion of each industrial sector.

Voices from Australian Manufacturing Leaders
What our manufacturing clients say about RFQ volume, lead quality and new supply agreements.
“We had no digital presence whatsoever — relied entirely on word of mouth and two trade shows a year. Madsun launched LinkedIn Ads and Google Ads and within six months we had 8 new ongoing supply agreements and AUD $2.4M in new contracted work. The RFQ volume went up 145% and the cost per qualified lead was AUD $180. Extraordinary result for a firm our size.”
M. F.
Managing Director @ Queensland Precision Engineering Firm
“The SEO work transformed our inbound completely. We now rank for every relevant industrial search term in Victoria and our capability pages are generating genuine RFQ enquiries every week — not tyre-kickers, actual procurement managers from companies we want to work with.”
J. K.
Sales Manager @ Victorian Metal Fabricator
“They understood the B2B manufacturing sales cycle from day one — that procurement does not happen overnight and that our content needs to answer the technical questions buyers have before they even pick up the phone. The capability statement and certification content they built has shortened our pre-RFQ conversations significantly.”
S. R.
Director @ NSW Food Manufacturing Business
