Who we are

Helping Manufacturers Build Their Dream Business®

We've helped manufacturing companies across the nation achieve their goals with industrial website design and marketing built for the shop floor.

Schedule Your Free Consultation →

For over a decade, we've watched manufacturing companies struggle online. Not for lack of skill on the shop floor, but from working with marketers who don't speak their language. Our website design, SEO, PPC advertising, and social media marketing services are built specifically for manufacturers.

Our founder spent 25+ years in the industry. From troubleshooting CNC controls at BobCAD-CAM to building a 2,500+ user customer base at Dolphin CAD-CAM, we learned what most agencies never will.

Purchasing managers search for manufacturing services daily. With the right digital presence, they'll find you instead of your competition.

Most importantly, we don't treat machine shops like every other business. We get the technical details right.

How this works

What We Do For New Firms

We start by understanding your capabilities and translating them into search-driven messaging buyers actually use, from CNC machining to precision fabrication. Our team builds high-converting websites that showcase your equipment, certifications, and expertise.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After seven years in business and working with more marketing firms than I can count, I can confidently say that no one compares to MFG Empire. In the past, I was constantly overpromised and underdelivered, often feeling like just another invoice in the queue. But with MFG Empire, it's a completely different experience. They genuinely care about the success of my business—as much as I do. Their team is proactive, transparent, and results-driven. They don’t just talk the talk—they walk the walk. From day one, they’ve done exactly what they said they would, and then some. The communication is top-tier, the strategy is dialed in, and the support feels more like a partnership than a contract. If you're tired of marketing firms that treat you like a number, stop your search here. MFG Empire is the real deal. I only wish I had found them sooner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Rodney to build a new website for a startup, design their logo and create their brand guidelines. The manufacturing company in the construction space is a client of mine. Rodney provided a lot of value, was very responsive, and was willing to take direction and adjust and pivot quickly. The client was very pleased with our end result. Rodney understands the manufacturing space and is willing to work with small clients who cannot afford big solutions. He delivers value. Plus he is a heck of a nice guy and has been great about keeping in touch and offering additional support. Thanks for the help you provided.
