B2B demand generation for technical firms

You used to meet a year of buyers in three days.

Now the buyer searches first, asks an AI assistant for a shortlist, compares suppliers quietly and contacts the firms that were visible before the call ever happened. SpeakVision builds the channels that put you back in that decision.

The channel problem

For years, a lot of technical B2B firms could treat marketing as a diary date. Book the stand, shake a few hundred hands, follow up for months, repeat.

That pattern weakened. Events still matter, but fewer buyers wait for an exhibition hall before researching a supplier. Search, AI answers, peer recommendations and paid media now shape the shortlist much earlier.

The demand did not disappear. It moved. The problem is being absent from the places where the buyer now looks.

Usually it shows up like this

Enquiry volume has gone flat.
Most new business still comes from referrals.
Competitors you do not rate are outranking you.
Nobody can say clearly what last year’s marketing spend produced.
The four channels

One system. Four ways to be found.

Each channel does a different job. They work better when they share the same research, tracking and commercial priorities.

01 / Search

SEO

Technical health, strong capability pages, sector pages and local visibility. The aim is simple: make the site useful when a buyer is researching a serious purchase.

  • Technical SEO and indexing
  • Capability and sector architecture
  • Commercial search visibility
02 / AI discovery

GEO

Generative engine optimisation makes your firm easier to understand, cite and shortlist when buyers ask AI assistants for suppliers, comparisons and recommendations.

  • Entity and topical clarity
  • Answer ready content structures
  • Visibility checks across AI answers
03 / Intent

Google Ads

Paid search is useful when the buyer already knows what they need. We focus on commercial intent, landing page fit and the quality of enquiries that reach the sales team.

  • Intent led campaign structure
  • Landing page alignment
  • Lead quality reporting
04 / Reach

Meta Ads

Useful for staying visible across a service area, retargeting people who already know the firm and supporting recruitment when technical staff are hard to find.

  • Retargeting
  • Service area awareness
  • Technical recruitment campaigns
Under all four

Content, social, tracking and routing

Content and social support the four main channels. Tracking, forms, CRM routing and reporting are included because a marketing system that cannot explain what happened after the click is only half built.

How it runs

The order matters.

Media spend comes after the research and measurement foundations. Otherwise you are paying to discover problems we could have found before the first click.

01

Research

Buyers, competitors, search demand, AI visibility, current performance and the route from enquiry to sale.

02

Foundations

Tracking, forms, routing, core pages, campaign structure and the reporting view the business will actually use.

03

Demand

SEO, GEO and paid media go live according to the package and the evidence from the research.

04

Reporting

Enquiries, source, quality and pipeline movement. The point is to know what made money and what did not.

One channel run well: SEO, Google Ads or Meta Ads.

  • Research and competitor review

Fees are for management. Advertising budget is paid directly to Google and Meta from accounts in the client’s name, never marked up and never absorbed into the retainer. Setup is invoiced and settled before onboarding starts.

One off add on

Visibility audit

A review of where you appear in search, where you appear in AI answers, what competitors are doing, and what happens to an enquiry once it arrives.

Next step

Half an hour, no slides.

We look at how new business arrives now, where the gaps are, and whether SpeakVision is the right fit. If it is not, you will hear it on the call rather than in a proposal a week later.
