Solaronics, Inc. is a U.S. manufacturer of infra-red heating products. Gas fired infra-red heaters are highly efficient producers of infra-red energy that can be used in numerous heating applications. Working closely with engineers, contractors and owners, Solaronics has helped to establish standards and guidelines for product construction, performance, operations and applications since 1962.

When Solaronics, Inc. was ready to update their website with a responsive design, they went with their current digital marketing provider TopSpot. (https://www.topspot.com/ ) . They also agreed to begin monthly Search Engine Optimization services with TopSpot upon launch. They were wanting a mobile-friendly website design that had a clean interface while providing the content and information a user would need before moving forward with a quote.

The TopSpot team created a website architecture with SEO serving as the foundation and a clean, professional design that provided multiple conversion opportunities throughout each page while highlighting their product options and applications.

The website launched on November 29th with the following features geared towards helping them achieve their goals:
Resource Library that houses the company’s blog, case studies, FAQ page & Media Gallery- https://solaronicsusa.com/resource-library/

-Expanding content options on the product category pages https://solaronicsusa.com/high-intensity-infrared-ceramic-heaters/
-Replacement Part Finder located above the footer throughout the Infrared Heater section.

The Find a Rep/Replacement Part tool has been used nearly 4,000 times since the website’s launch. Also, when reviewing the website’s post-launch success compared to the previous period, organic traffic is up by 38.17% and total goal completions have increased by 80%. The SEO focused landing pages helped the Solaronics Paid Search Program as well as it saw a 9.2% decrease in overall cost per click and a 50% increase in form submissions.
