Habitat by VerveX
RFQ engine for US manufacturers→

Buyers used to find you through trade shows and referrals.

Now they search, shortlist and decide before they call. Habitat gets you on that list, and goes after the buyers you pick. You just answer the quotes.

Why it works

Buyers shortlist before they call.

Referrals still matter, but buyers check you online first. If your site and search presence are thin, you never make the list.

What you get

We get you found. We go get them. You run your shop.

Managed Google search ads

Built around your capabilities, materials and minimums, with negative keywords so budget never leaks to hobbyists.

A quote page that converts

Short form, drawing upload and a clear next step.

Outbound to buyers you pick

Targeted by the work you want. Replies and booked calls come straight to you.

Every RFQ tracked, not just clicks

Calls, forms and email replies are counted separately, so you see cost per RFQ and which source brought it.

You own the accounts and data

If we part ways, everything stays with you.

Capacity-aware targeting

Machines full? We turn the taps down, and up again when you have room.

Protected sending setup

Outbound runs from separate warmed domains, never your own business email.

The 30-day pilot

The risk is ours, not yours.

We start with one month. If ads and outbound together do not bring qualified RFQs or booked buyer calls, you do not pay for month 2.

FAQ

Questions owners ask.

Do I own the ad account?

Yes. The account is created in your name and you keep full access. All history and data stay with you if we ever stop working together.

What counts as a qualified RFQ?

A real quote request for work you can do, from a real buyer. We agree the exact definition with you in week 1, so there are no surprises later.

How fast will I see results?

Search ads can start sending traffic within the first weeks. Quote requests depend on your niche and your page, which is why we track RFQs from day one. Closing a job can take longer, and we report on that too.

How does the outbound part work?

You tell us the work you want. We build a list of buyers that match, send short personal emails from separate domains so your own email stays safe, and pass you the replies and booked calls. Outbound can bring replies within the first weeks of sending.

What do you need from me?

A short call about what work you want, access to your website, and quick replies to the quotes that come in. That is it.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. After the 30-day pilot it is month to month. [CONFIRM TERMS BEFORE SENDING]

Free, no strings

See what buyers see when they search for you.

We will record a short video of how your shop shows up on Google and how your quote page looks to a buyer. Free, whether or not we work together.

One video, one follow-up. No spam. No qualified RFQs in 30 days, no month 2 fee.
