Manufacturing exporter building Dutch industry publisher authority

An industrial manufacturer exporting into the Netherlands had technical Dutch pages for specifications and applications, but almost no mentions on Dutch trade, engineering, or industry publishers. Buyers still discovered competitors through those channels.

English case studies and global PR did not transfer. Procurement and engineering readers expected Dutch-language coverage on sites they already trusted. Thin directories and general news sites were not credible for this audience.

The company needed a paced build: Ahrefs DR 30+ industry hosts, accurate technical language, and links to specification and market pages rather than only the homepage. Internal engineers had to review every draft for correctness.

We sourced Dutch trade, engineering, and industrial publishers that matched the product categories, then filtered against DR and traffic floors. Samples included topical notes so engineers could reject poor-fit hosts early.

Native Dutch writers worked from approved technical briefs. Articles covered application problems, standards context, and buyer education without overstating performance. Engineer review was scheduled before outreach confirmation.

Monthly volume stayed modest by design. The shared sheet logged host type, destination URL, and review status so export marketing and product engineering shared one queue.
