Lead Generation for Metal & Machining

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Our AI SDR and AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book every inquiry in under 60 seconds, 24/7 — including after-hours and weekends. Calls can be handed to a real person on your team with full context, using your calendar and your rules. You get the coverage of a sales team at a claimed 70–lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team, without adding headcount.","question":"How can a metal fabrication shop get more RFQs without hiring a salesperson?"},{"answer":"Yes. Local SEO and paid ads are core parts of our lead generation work, alongside targeted outreach. We put your custom metal fabrication services in front of the right buyers, then our instant response system turns that interest into booked calls instead of letting inquiries sit in an inbox.","question":"Can you help us reach buyers searching for 'sheet metal fabrication near me' in our region?"},{"answer":"That's exactly what our Pipeline Recovery service does. It works with your existing CRM — no platform switch — to reactivate old contacts and turn them back into booked calls. You only pay for the conversations that come back, so there's no risk in testing it against your dormant list.","question":"We have years of old quotes and contacts in our CRM. Can those become jobs again?"},{"answer":"We start by finding the bottleneck in your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data, then build the plan and launch quickly. Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch. SEO compounds over months, and we keep learning, testing, and scaling what works from there.","question":"How fast will we see results once we start?"},{"answer":"Integrated beats fragmented. With separate vendors you get separate reports, gaps between the ad that generates interest and the follow-up that books the call, and vanity metrics nobody can act on. Worqd runs the whole path from first click to booked call under one plan and one report — and we're priced against the results that matter to you, not the hours we log.","question":"Why not just keep using separate vendors for ads, creative, and follow-up?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the Bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We look at your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where growth is stuck — before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Build and Launch Fast","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Campaigns, creative, outreach, and instant response go into motion.
