"Engineers don't browse. They search with intent."

Dug into Search Terms reports and found the problem: we were paying for "industrial equipment" when buyers searched for specific part numbers. Built a new keyword strategy around how engineers actually search.

Less is More

The Quiet
Shelf

An independent bookstore in a college town. Great curation, loyal regulars, but invisible online. Competing against Amazon with a fraction of the budget.

The answer was to do less, better.

"Stop trying to reach everyone. Reach the right people."

Focused on three channels only. No paid ads. Just showing up consistently where it mattered.
