Verdant · Hardware export hub

China manufacturing B2B's biggest overseas blind spot: Alibaba is saturated, but factories don't know how to run Google SEO + their own site. Verdant flipped this.

SEO +12×6 overseas customers in 9 months$1.8M annual contracts

Customer names + data are written-permission released. Some sensitive data masked.

The challenge

Three things factories never do.

01

Invisible on Google

Overseas buyers search industry keywords, first 5 pages are competitors. Verdant's English site doesn't rank, Alibaba only ranks within Alibaba.

02

Inquiries arrive, no follow-up

Slow email replies + translation gaps + no case studies to show buyers. Conversion <1%.

03

English site is a translation

Their English site was a machine-translated Chinese site. Overseas buyers tab out as soon as they read it.

We sat on Alibaba for 5 years, inquiries dried up. Thought it was the industry. Cloubay rebuilt the site + SEO + inquiry automation — now buyers google us directly and come to us. This is what going overseas should look like.
