As an SEO agency with over a decade of experience providing thought leadership to refineries, underground mapping SaaS companies, fluid systems component manufacturers, and other oil & gas companies, we understand the nuances of your industry. Whether you provide supplies, service, software, consultation, or the energy itself, distinguishing yourself from the competition is key to building and maintaining relationships and improving your sales leads.
Surprisingly, very few companies in this field leverage content marketing to achieve those goals, and fewer still commit to a marketing strategy involving thought leadership. Acting as a system rather than a service when well executed, a thought leadership campaign generates leads for years to come—whether your clients in aerospace, manufacturing, or petrochemical.
At First Page Sage, we pride ourselves on building lasting relationships with our clients, helping them craft and promote content designed to engage their readers, maintain their clients, and establish them as the leading authority in their field.
Oil & Gas companies that we’ve provided SEO services for include:
Oil & Gas Companies have partnered with us to create
- Custom industry landing pages each targeting a downstream, midstream, and upstream sector of the oil & gas industry
- A white paper on oilfield data analytics and visualization
- A pillar page focused on nondestructive testing
- Newsletters featuring timely advice for refinery industry insiders such as improving pump seal reliability, reducing unplanned equipment downtime, avoiding mechanical seal leakage

We ghostwrite 2 weekly pieces of thought leadership content on your company’s behalf, working with subject matter experts to target each piece toward a transactional keyword actively searched by key executives. Each article we produce will be an original, insightful look at challenges faced by your clients, and establish your website as an important resource for their colleagues. We offer expert guidance on how to leverage this content to support your existing partnerships as well as reopen conversations with past ones. When it’s time to look for a parts manufacturer or service provider, your name will be at the top of their list.
