Ep 2: The Evolving Role of Websites in Industrial Marketing

Explores how website strategies are adapting to fragmented buyer journeys and changing user behaviors in industrial marketing.

In this episode of The ChangeOver Podcast, host Greg Linnemanstons, President of Weidert Group, is joined by Kelly Wilhelme, Director of Marketing, to discuss the transforming role of websites in today's industrial marketing landscape.

The ChangeOver Podcast takes its name from the quick transitions manufacturing plants must make when switching production lines. An agile, efficient changeover minimizes downtime, improves productivity, and helps businesses maximize ROI on equipment and people investments.

The industrial marketing landscape is rapidly evolving, and websites are at the forefront of this change.

Episode Highlights:

• The shift from websites as traffic generators to welcome mats for visitors

• The impact of AI on content creation and search results
• Strategies for creating unique, valuable content that stands out
• The importance of aligning SEO and user experience (UX)
