Scale Your Agency And Deliver High-End Results To Your Industrial Clients

We understand the need for agencies to find new ways of offering their customers ever-improving results and to do so at scale to continue growing their revenue. We provide proven programs with built-in processes and standards that help you scale your agency offerings and create new avenues of traffic to your clients’ websites and online content. 

Improve Qualified Traffic to Your Industrial Clients’ Websites

Your customers’ website is the center of their online presence. And your customers need to be where buyers are sourcing. A company listing on Thomasnet.com can not only help your customers stay “top of mind” with prospects who are actively searching for suppliers on our platform, but can also online provide high-quality backlinks to your customer's website. An effective website and Thomasnet.com company profile on the most trusted platform where buyers source are the cornerstones of a well-designed digital strategy in the industrial space.

With advertising opportunities and earned backlink opportunities in Thomas Insights delivered by Industry's leading newsletter, the Thomas Industry Update (TIU), you will be able to implement outreach strategies that  increase brand awareness and RFQs. Specifically designed for manufacturing businesses, TIU’s newsletter advertising options drive readers to your customers’ website with Promoted Content or include backlinks from Sponsored Content to increase their brand awareness — other manufacturers choose our Spotlight Article option that includes an article written by our team of industrial content creators and promoted to our 310k+ subscribers. 

Whether the goal is to promote a new product or showcase the shop floor to more buyers, our advertising options allow manufacturers and industrial companies to reach decision-makers that have specifically identified an interest in the product/service categories offered. Your customers’ content will be showcased directly to the most qualified prospects and most important buyers to help you meet their business goals.

Drive More Leads From Engineers, Procurement Professionals, and MROs

CAD files convert at 2.5x the rate of text-based assets. With the Thomas Traceparts Network, your customers will be able to leverage their CAD files to accelerate deals with more than 27 million qualified engineers and buyers across Thomasnet.com, TraceParts, and 44 other marketplace platforms in the discovery stage.

You can also ensure your customers get the high-quality MQLs they desire the most with our Thomas’ LeadGen Program. This program includes guaranteed leads through a targeted content marketing campaign , which guarantees leads from specific industries, job types, and company sizes.

The flexibility of Thomasnet.com programs gives manufacturers ability to receive RFQs directly on the platform and provide the choice of which buyers they want to target, how, and when. Your manufacturing customers will be able to take advantage of premium positioning on search results and the ever-growing sourcing activity that takes place directly on the platform. They can also create an additional layer of trust in their brand by having their company profiles validated with Thomas Registered or Thomas Verified Supplier badges, which statistically receive more supplier evaluations and RFQs than those that don't.

Report On Campaign Progress And Identify Prospects For Your Customers Earlier

Thomas WebTrax lets you go beyond simple web analytics and shortens the long buying cycle to start engaging with real buyers earlier. With Thomas WebTrax, your customers will be able to see actionable data on buyers that are actively in-market for your customers’ products and services. Your customers can track, identify, and engage buyers by seeing exactly how your various digital marketing efforts, online content, and campaigns are being interacted with and by whom — their online information and activity is captured and stored all one comprehensive and intuitive dashboard.

Once you and your customers have identified your high-value opportunities, you can create shared alerts about additional website visits so your customers can align marketing tactics and sales outreach calls precisely with what the buyer wants and needs at every stage throughout that journey. Thomas WebTrax helps your customers make the critical shift from sales enablement to buyer enablement, and “sell” the way today’s buyer buys.
