Positioning
Generic
Same claims as every competitor
Product visibility usually needs an online store. Guerilla Steel didn't have one.
Every stable starts from a base model, but almost every order is customised. A full online store didn’t fit how Guerilla Steel sells, and it would have been expensive to build and maintain.
Competitors were also all saying the same things: height, weld quality, Australian steel. Guerilla Steel needed to show up in product results and AI answers, and needed a reason to be cited over everyone else.
02 · The Mission
Capture product intent without a cart, then own a gap no competitor was covering.
A seven-step, 28-day plan combined structured data, research-led positioning and content written for how people (and AI) actually ask questions.
The Main Service
Growth Partner
Getting some enquiries but not consistent ones? The Growth package builds the strategy, visibility, and conversion infrastructure your business needs — so leads stop being random.
How We Approached the mission
Merchant Center without ecommerce
Product schema on key stable pages plus a $500 Stripe deposit button captured payment intent. The quote form beside it stayed the real conversion.
Finding the voice gap
NotebookLM and Perplexity analysed 250+ data points from competitors, forums and reviews. No one connected stable engineering to horse welfare, so that became the authority position.
Three content areas
Stable ownership, stables engineered for life, and welfare-driven stable design.
Questions buyers actually ask
Bottom-of-funnel comparisons and guides first, then early-stage questions sourced from Reddit, Facebook groups and equine forums.
Builds documented as products
Every case study covers the problem, design decisions, who it suits and a real budget, linked to its review and product page.
Business Profile and social push
A fully optimised profile, then 6–8 posts a week until every page had been shared at least once.
Meta rewrites and custom tools
New titles and descriptions, a price estimator and a stable-finder quiz that pre-fills the quote form. The tools produced 5 quality leads in 6 weeks.

Client Review
We just hired 5 new guys last quarter and revenue doubled in 6months - I'm looking for a bigger place.
