What We Were Solving

The Core Problem
GP Compressors had a 5-year-old static HTML site with no mobile responsiveness, no product categorisation, and a quote request form buried three clicks deep. Monthly organic traffic was 420 visitors, bounce rate was 71%, and the site generated only 9 quote requests per month at a 0.8% conversion rate. For a company with R35,000 average deal value, this was a massive missed opportunity.

How We Built It

Custom WordPress/Divi build with PHP backend for product management. Conversion-focused design with product finder tool, prominent CTAs, and mobile-first approach. Technical SEO including schema markup, optimised meta tags, 1.8s mobile load time. Content strategy with 12 targeted pieces over 16 weeks, local citations, and industry backlinks.

The Challenge

GP Compressors had an outdated brochure site that failed to convert. Engineers and procurement teams could not find product specifications, pricing was unclear, and there was no way to request quotes online. The site looked unprofessional compared to competitors and was costing them business.

Our Approach

We built a custom Divi site with a PHP backend, focusing on technical content that engineers actually need. Product pages include downloadable spec sheets, comparison tables, and clear pricing tiers. We integrated a quote request system that captures project details upfront.

The Solution

  • Custom Divi theme with industrial design language
  • Product catalogue with technical specifications and PDF downloads
  • Integrated quote request system with automated email notifications
  • Technical SEO foundation: schema markup, XML sitemap, Core Web Vitals optimised
  • Mobile-responsive design for on-site engineers

Results

The site launched with a strong technical SEO foundation. Product pages now rank for key industrial terms. Quote requests increased within the first month of launch. The client reports that procurement teams frequently reference the spec sheets during purchase decisions.
