Websites for heat treaters
We build websites that show buyers with a hardness spec on the print that you can run it.

What gets in the way of a heat treat quote
A heat treat buyer checks whether you run the process, whether your furnaces take the part, whether you work to the spec on the print, and whether you hold the accreditation their industry requires.
01
Buyers can’t tell whether you can run their callout
A buyer arrives with a print that names the material, the hardness, and often a specification. If your website lists the processes in one paragraph, with no furnace sizes and no load weights, the buyer has to call to find out or picks a shop that answers on the page.
How we fix it. We give each process its own page, with furnace work zones and load weights stated as numbers, the materials you treat, and the hardness ranges you work to.

Aerospace and automotive buyers look for your accreditation by name
In aerospace, heat treating is one of the processes accredited through Nadcap, the industry program for aviation, space, and defense suppliers, and furnaces are held to AMS2750, the SAE specification for temperature sensors, instruments, accuracy tests, and temperature uniformity surveys. In automotive, CQI-9 is the AIAG’s heat treat system assessment. When the website never names them, the buyer cannot tell whether you qualify.
How we fix it. We name each accreditation and assessment you hold on the quality page and on every process page it covers, so a buyer can match it to the print.

Quote requests arrive without what you need to price the job
An email asking whether you can harden some parts starts a round of questions about material, section size, hardness, and quantity. While that goes back and forth, the buyer waits for a price.
How we fix it. We build a quote form that asks for the material, process, hardness, largest section, and quantity, and takes the print, as our guide to the RFQ form sets out.

Buyers searching for your process don’t find you
Someone searching for the process you run every day sees directories and shops two states away. When every process sits on one home page, Google has very little to match to that search.
How we fix it. We write a page for each process and each area you serve, each one leading to the quote form the way an RFQ-first website does, and our SEO service keeps adding pages after launch.

The closest project we have built
SurfTech is a low temperature PVD coating company in Austinburg, Ohio. Its buyers ask how hot the process runs and what that does to a hardened part, so the site is built around its low temperature process and has a substrate survival checker that lets an engineer test a part before sending the drawing. We built the ercsurftech.com website for SurfTech 10 days after the brief.
In our study of 66 US manufacturer websites, measured in November 2026, nine were heat treaters. Six of the nine had a quote link on the home page, and six named a certification there.
The SurfTech case study shows the old site, the new one, and the results, and every project is on our work page.

Questions heat treating companies ask us
- Should we publish our Nadcap accreditation on the website?
- Yes, if you hold it. We name the accreditation and the processes it covers on the quality page and on each process page it applies to, so an aerospace buyer finds it where they are already reading.
- Does the same site work for aerospace and automotive buyers?
- Yes. Both buy the same processes but check different things, so each process page names what applies, such as Nadcap and AMS2750 for aerospace and CQI-9 for automotive, and an industries page speaks to each buyer.
- How much does a website for a heat treater cost?
- $6,000, paid once, for the complete website, including the quote form, the AI assistant, and the Excel lead sheet. You own the code, the hosting, and every account, and every price we charge is on our pricing page.
