Client Background

This long-established business, based in the Southeastern U.S., provides custom-engineered glass products for both commercial and residential applications. Their catalog includes everything from decorative glazing and insulated panels to anti-reflective and laminated safety glass. With decades of industry expertise and global sourcing capabilities, they collaborate with leading contractors, designers, and architects to bring glass innovations to life.

Despite a strong reputation and a robust project portfolio, the business was not capturing the attention of new prospects searching online—especially those looking for premium, specialized glasswork. The objective was clear: turn the company’s digital presence into a key lead-generating channel.
