David Ferguson, Owner of Ferguson Management Services LLC
As the Director of Health Services, I have been part of our organization’s Autumn Consulting meetings since January 2025. I genuinely look forward to these meetings and the fruit that comes out of them. Jennifer does an incredible job of explaining marketing terminology in a way that is easy for someone like me, with no marketing background, to understand. I have gained a great perspective on how each part of our website and our google ads can be adjusted to reach more clients. Each recommendation from Jennifer comes with research to give multiple options to choose from, which my nurse brain appreciates! We have been able to ensure that everything from our website verbiage to our “chat with a nurse” button are as effective as they can be, down to every last detail. Knowing that there is a professional eye looking over everything gives me confidence that we will continue forward with excellence!

Navigating today’s marketing environment is very challenging. Nathan and his team at Autumn Consulting have provided the support and expertise Cresswood needs to grow and expand our brand awareness.

Having all the blog content not only gives Cresswood search ranking credibility, it gives the searcher real information and case studies to help educate them once they get to the site. For a small company with limited internal marketing resources, Autumn has proven to be an extraordinary value in our growth journey.

In addition to his strategic responsibilities, Nathan effectively manages the marketing team at a detailed, execution-focused level, ensuring that priorities translate into results.
What I particularly appreciate is Nathan’s ability to quickly understand complex business challenges and translate them into focused, practical marketing actions. He looks beyond individual campaigns and considers the entire customer journey—from market positioning and lead generation to sales conversion and long-term growth.
Nathan’s in-depth knowledge of SEO and digital marketing has been particularly valuable. His work has helped strengthen Herrmann Ultrasonics’ online visibility and search performance, contributing to increased lead generation and, ultimately, equipment sales.

I have contracted Nathan three times for projects where I need his horsepower to improve our business process. He has helped me to organize and develop creative and critical objectives that have not only grown our business, but aligned our workforce.
Jim Zaiser, President, Hydro-Thermal Corporation
Nathan was very intuitive of the needs of Sunny Delight Beverage Co concerns around process improvements, energy reduction and cost savings for implementing capital projects. Nathan worked patiently with us to develop a plan to incorporate Hydro-Thermals Silver Line series of direct steam heating to our existing processes for heating / cooking our product through our existing heat exchangers. Additionally, Nathan took the time to investigate our processes, developed an innovative strategy that could reduce our operational and maintenance costs and provide a sound return on investment.
As a follow up, Nathan suggested and assisted with us on developing a business plan for continual investigation into functionality of Hydro-Thermal capabilities in providing a solution to replace existing process equipment. I would personally recommend Nathan and Hyrdo-Thermal when looking into cost effective solutions to alternate means of using steam for heating.
Joe Lusnak, Director of Engineering, Sunny Delight Beverage Co.
Our firm, DSML Executive Search, has been working with Nathan on SEO marketing since the beginning of this year and he has effectively brought us from the back pages of Google to page 1 without paying for ads. I’ve seen many professional speakers yet Nathan brings a fresh and creative approach to deliver helpful and insightful strategies for business owners. He’s very natural in front of an audience and his depth of knowledge allows him to quickly and meaningfully answer questions. After his presentation, there was a line of people wanting to talk more with him. I’d highly recommend Nathan as a professional speaker.
Doug Seville, Co-Founder, DSML Executive Search
I had the pleasure to attend Nathan’s seminar “Designing you Website for Google” in the Chicago area. Nathan’s ability to deliver technical and complex content in a vivid and interactive way, combined with an extensive market and tech background made this evening so valuable for me. Especially to present and teach comprehensive information with precise real live / real business examples distinguishes Nathan from other speakers. I highly recommend Nathan as a professional speaker and trainer.
Malte Meier, Director of Route Development, Kuehne+Nagel
Nathan presented at TMSA’s 2019 Digital Transformation Conference on SEO Best Practices. His presentation was professional and highly-educational. His advice for website optimization made complete sense and he included industry-specific examples throughout his presentation. He is clearly knowledgeable on the topic and knows how to break it down to an understandable level. If you need an SEO subject matter expert, I would recommend Nathan.
Don Friddell, CMO & COO, TSMA
Nathan is on the short list of the very best marketing and technology providers I have ever worked with. His ability to meld the worlds of our business, Logistics, with marketing and SEO has made him, and Autumn Consulting, an invaluable tool in Acme Distribution’s Sales and Marketing strategy. Acme services several different industry verticals as well as having a variety of warehouse and transportation offerings that it provides and Nathan was able to come up with a marketing and SEO plan that spoke to each of those variables generating substantially more web driven leads for our organization.
One of my favorite parts of working with Nathan and Autumn Consulting is the consistent, proactive and quantifiable feedback on what is working and what we might consider modifying when it comes to our Marketing strategy. I highly, highly recommend working with Nathan and his team at Autumn for your marketing needs.
Seth Goldfogel, President, Acme Distribution

Nathan also collaborated with our sales team and marketing department to develop fresh, SEO-driven content for our two engineering-heavy websites. His team’s efforts improved our organic rankings within our key geographic territories, driving meaningful traffic and strengthening our digital presence.
Nathan’s ability to bridge technical know-how with marketing strategy sets him apart. His proactive approach and commitment to results make him an exceptional partner and asset to any team.

Marketing used to mean pounding the pavement, cold calls, and lots of time…But today, it’s about being found. SEO lets customers come to us instead of the other way around.
Our services are custom. Every client has different needs. Autumn gets that,” Andy said. “They know the difference between cold storage and fulfillment. They know what vendor-managed inventory means. That saves a lot of time.
Andy Hendricks, President, Distributors Terminal
I think the quality of the leads is actually getting better, which is even more significant, given where the market is. What you guys do has been much more important for a company that doesn’t have the resources or how we’re structured… your team certainly is that kind of partner that we all can benefit from in our industry.
Joe Wright, Marketing Director, Milestone Equipment Leasing
Autumn approached our work as a mission partner, not just a vendor. This comes through in the intentionality of frequent communication with our team and the thoughtful design choices across every project we’ve worked on together.
Autumn has brought both design excellence and strategic clarity. The branding and digital work was built to convert interest into engagement, whether that’s a woman seeking care, a donor considering a gift, or a couple exploring Restorative Reproductive Medicine. Having a consistent, professional identity across Freedom Women’s Care, the JPII Life Center, and DiscoverLifeMD websites has strengthened our credibility and made it easier to tell one coherent story across all three programs instead of three disconnected ones.
Linda Ruf, Chief Executive Officer, JPII Life and Family Center & Vitae Clinic

We're Not Just a Marketing Agency. We're Your Growth Partner.
Our Approach to Manufacturing Growth
We don't just drive traffic—we build a system that turns visibility into revenue.
How can my manufacturing company get found when buyers are searching?
You need to show up for the problems, products, specifications, and applications your ideal buyers are actually searching for, not just your company name.
We help manufacturers improve visibility across Google and AI search through SEO, content strategy, technical content, website optimization, and AI search optimization. That means creating pages that answer real buyer questions and clearly demonstrate your expertise, so both search engines and AI systems can understand when your company is relevant.
The goal isn’t simply to rank for more keywords. It’s to be found by the right buyer at the right moment, then turn that discovery into a qualified opportunity.
See how this approach helped an American industrial manufacturer increase AI search visibility and qualified inbound leads in this case study on increasing pipeline leads through Google Search and AI Visibility.
Why do manufacturers get inconsistent leads from their website?
Most manufacturer websites describe capabilities instead of answering the questions buyers ask during evaluation. If your site doesn’t address things like tolerances, certifications, materials, lead times, applications, and minimum requirements, it can attract traffic without attracting the right buyers.
The fix is to build pages around what your best-fit buyers actually need to know, then make it easy for them to understand your capabilities, see why you’re a good fit, and contact your team when they’re ready.
Consistent lead generation starts with creating content around the searches and questions your ideal buyers use throughout the buying process. That helps your company get found by the right prospects, demonstrate technical expertise, and turn more website visitors into qualified opportunities.
Why isn't our manufacturing company showing up in Google or AI results?
You probably rank for your company name, but buyers who don’t know you yet aren’t searching for it. They’re searching for problems, specifications, materials, applications, and solutions.
Google and AI search tools look for pages that provide clear, specific answers to those questions. If your website mostly lists what you make, search engines have less context about when your company should appear or be recommended.
We help manufacturers build content around the questions their buyers actually ask, organize it so search engines and AI can understand it, and create clear paths that turn search visibility into qualified opportunities.
How do we compete against larger manufacturers with bigger marketing budgets?
Pick a niche and own it. Large manufacturers often try to cover broad markets, which can leave opportunities to go deeper on the specific searches that matter most to your buyers.
A mid-sized manufacturer can compete by building strong expertise around a specific material, tolerance, application, industry, or manufacturing challenge. The goal isn’t to outrank a larger competitor for everything. It’s to become the company buyers find when they have a specific problem to solve.
Deep, useful content can help you build authority in those high-intent areas and attract buyers who already know what they need.
How do we prove marketing ROI to leadership when sales cycles are so long?
Stop reporting traffic to leadership as your primary measure of success. Track qualified inquiries, sales opportunities created, and the pipeline value marketing is influencing.
Those metrics show progress long before a deal closes. If your sales cycle is nine months, you shouldn’t have to wait nine months to demonstrate that marketing is working. You can show leadership that marketing is generating qualified opportunities, creating conversations with potential customers, and contributing to pipeline.
The goal is to connect marketing activity to the business outcomes leadership actually cares about, not simply report how many people visited the website.
What's the Biggest Mistake Manufacturers Make with Digital Marketing?
The biggest mistake manufacturers make is treating their website like a static brochure instead of a tool for attracting and converting new business.
Your buyers are researching products, capabilities, materials, applications, and suppliers long before they contact sales. If your website only describes what you make, you’re missing opportunities to answer the questions that influence their decision.
Manufacturing marketing works best when you consistently create useful content around those buyer questions, strengthen your search visibility, and make it easy for qualified prospects to take the next step.
The goal isn’t to launch a website and leave it alone. It’s to build a digital presence that keeps earning visibility, demonstrating expertise, and creating opportunities over time.
Ready to Build a More Predictable Pipeline?
Your next customer may already be searching for the products, capabilities, or expertise you provide.
The question is whether they’ll find you—or a competitor.
Let’s build a marketing system that puts your company in front of more of the right buyers and gives your sales team more qualified opportunities to pursue.
