From Word-of-Mouth to 90–95% Lead Conversion:
How Cazbah Helped C-Sert and RaceSert Turn Online Visibility Into High-Quality Industrial Opportunities
Executive Summary
C-Sert and RaceSert serve highly specialized markets where the right customer is not simply looking for a generic repair product. C-Sert provides permanent industrial thread repair for manufacturers, steel mills, plastics companies, injection molders, and other operations dealing with stripped or damaged threaded holes. RaceSert brings that same repair concept into the automotive and engine block repair market, specializing in racing. But, their website was out-of-date and failed to reach the customers they actually wanted.
Now, both C-Sert and RaceSert have modernized and user friendly websites that highlight their unique value and products, optimized to attract their ideal customer audiences. “Cazbah helped us become more strategic in our market and create more visibility in our industry.”

The Challenge
Before partnering with Cazbah, C-Sert had a product with strong real-world value, but that value was not fully reflected online. The company’s website existed, but it was basic, limited, and more informational than strategic. It explained that C-Sert existed, but it did not clearly communicate why the product mattered, who it was for, or how it solved an expensive operational problem.
As General Manager Kara Hedges explained, “Before working with Cazbah, our online presence was hope.” The business was still relying heavily on word-of-mouth, trade shows, sales reps, and direct follow-up. Those channels mattered, but they made visibility harder to scale. Buyers who were already researching solutions online were not always finding the company, and when they did, the website did not always educate them well enough before they reached out.
The lead quality reflected that gap. Inquiries were limited, inconsistent, and often not aligned with C-Sert’s ideal customer profile. Some prospects were simply trying to understand what the company did. Others were small one-off repair situations that did not match the industrial applications where C-Sert delivers the greatest value.
Kara and the C-Sert team also had to need to market their new product/brand, RaceSert, so they went directly to Cazbah to inquire what would be needed to create a second website for their up-and-coming brand. RaceSert would be a new domain with little authority, but Kara had full confidence that the Cazbah team was up for the challenge.
The Solution
Cazbah worked with C-Sert to transform the company’s digital presence from a simple online brochure into a clearer, more strategic sales and education tool.
The first step was improving the website so it better explained the company’s products, applications, industries served, and value proposition. Instead of forcing prospects to call just to understand the basics, the site began doing more of the early education work. Product specifications, how-to information, videos, industry pages, and clearer messaging helped buyers understand what C-Sert and RaceSert offer before starting a conversation.
Cazbah also helped clarify the company’s market positioning through SEO, keyword strategy, and industry-specific content. For a niche manufacturer, this mattered. C-Sert is not trying to attract everyone with a stripped thread. It needs to reach maintenance teams, injection molders, steel mills, plastics companies, and other industrial operators where downtime is expensive and permanent repair has a measurable business impact.
That same foundation gave C-Sert the confidence to launch RaceSert with Cazbah as well. Because the C-Sert website had been improved and the partnership had proven valuable, RaceSert’s digital presence could begin with the same strategic discipline.
The Results
The most significant result was not simply more traffic or more inquiries. It was better-fit leads that were already educated, more serious, and closer to a buying decision.
Kara described the change clearly, “What changed when Cazbah took over was a lot of knowledgeable people calling… more explaining of what their problem is, whereas before it was a lot of people calling in or reaching out and asking what it was we did.”
That shift changed the quality of the sales conversation. Instead of spending time explaining the basics, C-Sert could focus on helping the prospect solve a real operational problem. The website began filtering out poor-fit inquiries while attracting more of the right industrial customers.
The conversion impact has been substantial. When asked about the company’s conversion rate on online opportunities, Kara said, “I’d say we’re probably about a 90 to 95.” That number reflects the power of matching clear positioning with high-intent buyers. When the right customer finds the right information at the right time, the sales process becomes more efficient and more productive.
The improved online presence also strengthened buyer trust. Kara noted that Cazbah helped the company appear more legitimate, more current, and more credible. Instead of a static website that looked outdated or homemade, C-Sert now has a digital presence that reflects the seriousness and specialization of the business.
The business value is especially clear because C-Sert’s product solves a costly time problem. As Kara put it, “We are specialized in the sense that time is money, and these customers can’t afford to have their platen down for long periods.” In other words, the product is not just a repair insert. It helps protect production time, reduce repeat failures, and avoid expensive downtime.
With RaceSert, Kara and her team quickly saw the need to adjust from just relying on distribution of their products to taking some of the sales in-house with a soon-to-be launched e-commece store. The e-store will allow customers to place orders quickly and efficiently on the site.
Client Perspective
Kara emphasized that Cazbah’s value came from both marketing expertise and the team’s willingness to understand a niche industrial product.
She also pointed to the quality of Cazbah’s involvement: “They’re very hands on… everybody’s been super great and open and easy to talk to and really good at suggesting things.”
Most importantly, the investment has produced a return that C-Sert can clearly see. “The return on investment I get from Cazbah is amazing. I think there’s not a single penny wasted in what we put into Cazbah, which is why we moved forward with RaceSert, too.”
The Outcome
For C-Sert and RaceSert, Cazbah helped turn a specialized industrial solution into a clearer, more visible, and more effective online sales engine. The result is more than just web activity. It is better-qualified prospects, stronger credibility, shorter education cycles, and a reported 90–95% conversion rate from online inquiries.
