From market research to buyer inquiries, in four stages

We don't sell separate services. We build one system that helps international buyers find you, trust you and contact you. Here is how it works, step by step.

Stage 1 · Research

Weeks 1–2

Know where to compete

We start by understanding your products, your current customers and the markets you want to grow in. Then we look at those markets from a buyer's point of view.

What we do

  • Audit how you appear today on Google and in AI assistants in your target markets
  • Measure search demand for your products in each target language
  • Analyze the competitors buyers see instead of you
  • Profile the buyers worth reaching: importers, distributors, project and contract buyers

What you get

A market opportunity report with a clear recommendation on which markets to start with, what to fix first and a 90-day plan.

Stage 2 · Foundation

Weeks 2–8

Give buyers a reason to trust you

Every inquiry starts on your website. We make sure it speaks your buyers' language, explains your products clearly and makes it easy to get in touch.

What we do

  • Build your export website in the languages of your target markets, next to your current site or as a full new site
  • Structure product pages with the technical details, certifications and applications buyers look for
  • Add a "Become a distributor" page and inquiry forms
  • Make your products readable for search engines and AI assistants
  • Set up tracking so every inquiry and its source is measured

What you get

A multilingual website ready to convert international visitors into inquiries.

Stage 3 · Activation

From week 5

Bring in the first inquiries

Organic visibility takes months to build. Targeted ads bring qualified buyers to your new pages much sooner, and show quickly which markets and products respond best.

What we do

  • Launch Google Ads campaigns by country and language
  • Target buyers searching for your product categories, not general traffic
  • Optimize toward cost per qualified inquiry

What you get

Your first international inquiries, usually within weeks of launch, and real data on which markets to prioritize.

Stage 4 · Growth

From month 6, ongoing

Build a steady flow that costs less over time

With the foundation in place, we grow your organic presence so inquiries keep coming without paying for every click.

What we do

  • Publish content that answers the questions your buyers ask, in their languages
  • Improve rankings for the products and markets that matter most
  • Track and grow your visibility in AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini
  • Build your presence on relevant directories, platforms and industry sites
  • Add new markets and languages when the data supports it

What you get

Growing organic and AI visibility, a monthly report and a clear view of what to do next.

We measure what matters to your sales team

We define a qualified inquiry together before we start. Usually it means a request that:

  • comes from one of your target countries
  • comes from a buyer type you want, such as an importer, distributor or contract firm
  • asks about specific products, prices or a partnership.

This is the number we report and work to grow.

See everything in one place

Your portal shows every qualified inquiry, the work in progress, items waiting for your approval and how visible your brand is in AI assistants. You update the status of each inquiry after your call, so we both know what turns into business.

What we need from you

Good results come from close collaboration. We ask for:

  • 01

    Product knowledge

    Specifications, certifications, minimum order quantities and prices or price ranges

  • 02

    Quick approvals

    We never publish anything in your name without your approval

  • 03

    Fast follow-up

    Someone on your team who responds to buyer inquiries within one or two working days

We start the conversation with buyers. Your team closes the deal.
FAQ

Questions about the process

Do we have to go through every stage?

You decide at the end of each stage whether to continue. Research comes first, because it decides the website and the campaigns. If research shows that a market is not worth it, we tell you and you can stop there.

How long do we commit for?

Export Launch is one fixed project, paid stage by stage. The monthly program that can follow runs for a minimum of six months, because organic visibility needs time to build. We plan the work over twelve months and review the results together at month six.

Who owns the website, content and ad accounts?

You do. Everything we create is yours, including ad accounts and data.

How do we communicate?

Through your portal and email. You open questions and requests in the portal and we answer there, so everything is on record. We talk at the start, when we present the research and at the six-month review, and whenever a call helps. You always have one direct contact.
