Grow your vertical B2B marketplace into buyers, suppliers & booked orders.

Most vertical B2B marketplaces invest a few thousand dollars a month across website, paid acquisition, SEO, and follow-up email, plus their own ad spend — the right number depends on your category and how far you are from liquidity. Google Ads management is 10% of your ad budget with a $600/month minimum, with no markup on the ad spend itself — your budget goes to Google in full. SEO starts at $50 per page with a 10-page minimum. Custom websites come in eight one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000+, so you can start where your marketplace is today (details at /websites). Setup is $0, and we'll send exact numbers in a free proposal within one business day.

If you're still solving chicken-and-egg in your category, CAC keeps climbing on one or both sides, or buyers request a quote once and never come back, an agency built for marketplaces pays for itself. We handle the site, paid acquisition, SEO, and follow-up email so your team can stay focused on product, supply quality, and closing deals. Already growing fast on your own? You may not need us yet.

It grows both sides of your platform inside one industry, not just top-of-funnel traffic. SearchPod builds your website and conversion paths for buyers and suppliers, runs paid acquisition aimed at whichever side is thinnest, wins the product, category, and supplier-directory searches people in your industry actually use, and automates onboarding and reorder email — one team, one pipeline for supply and demand in your category.

We look at where your marketplace is actually thin. If listings are sparse, campaigns and content lean toward suppliers first — a marketplace with no real supply can't hold buyer demand. If supply is healthy but orders are slow, we shift budget toward buyers. Either way, we track signups and activation separately by side, so the decision is based on your real liquidity, not a guess.

Look for one that treats your marketplace as two funnels, not one — with campaigns, pages, and tracking built separately for buyers and suppliers. Ask how they'd solve your chicken-and-egg problem in your specific category, and whether they can show CAC and LTV by side. Then check ownership: your site, ad accounts, and data should stay in your name.

Paid campaigns can put new signups and quote requests in front of you within a few weeks. Category and supplier-directory rankings take 3–6 months to build, then keep compounding as your own listings become searchable content. Follow-up email starts lifting first-order and reorder rates from week one, so growth builds while organic catches up.

We run the whole funnel — site, paid acquisition, SEO, AI search, and follow-up email — with supply and demand tracked as two separate funnels feeding one marketplace, not one blended number that hides which side is actually stalling. Pricing is public, contracts are month-to-month with a 30-day guarantee, and your site, ad accounts, analytics, and buyer and supplier data stay yours from day one.

Yes — for an early vertical marketplace, supply usually matters more. We build campaigns, landing pages, and onboarding email aimed specifically at suppliers or vendors in your category, and set clear goals around listings published and profiles verified, not just signups, so real usable supply exists before we push buyer demand hard.

Yes. Every signup is tagged to its side from day one, so you see true cost to acquire a buyer versus a supplier, and the lifetime value each one brings once they're placing or fulfilling orders. That split is what tells you where the next marketing dollar actually belongs.

Yes. Everything lives in accounts your company owns — website, brand assets, ad accounts, analytics, and buyer and supplier data. We're month-to-month, and if you ever leave, it all simply stays where it is.

Yes. We work inside the stack you've already built — your ERP or procurement system, Stripe or another payment processor, your CRM, and your product analytics — so signups, quote requests, and orders flow into your existing systems and attribution stays clean from first click to completed order.

Most vertical marketplace sites and landing pages go live in about 2–4 weeks. The pace mostly depends on how fast we get your product catalog, categories, and feedback — you'll have a clear timeline before we start.
