Project Overview

TRICOR Systems is a high-tech electronic contract manufacturing and engineering company that has been serving the medical, aerospace, military, and industrial markets since 1976. The company provides electronic manufacturing services, medical device manufacturing, electronic contract engineering, and software design and development. TRICOR holds FDA and ITAR registration and maintains ISO 9001:2015, AS9100D, and ISO 13485:2016 certifications. Upward Engine partnered with TRICOR Systems to build a precision PPC campaign designed to put them in front of highly qualified B2B buyers actively searching for the exact technical services that drive their business.

The Challenge

TRICOR Systems operates in a highly specialized and competitive industrial B2B market where buyers search for very specific technical manufacturing capabilities. The challenge was standing out for high-intent non-branded keywords tied to electronic contract manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, contract engineering, and specialized electronic systems—rather than losing opportunities to competitors with stronger search presence. Because TRICOR's audience includes procurement teams, engineers, and project managers in regulated and technical industries, it was critical to attract traffic from users with real project and purchasing intent, not general site visitors who wouldn't convert into qualified leads.

Our Approach

Upward Engine built a precision PPC strategy for TRICOR Systems designed to reach highly qualified B2B buyers actively searching for the technical manufacturing and engineering services that generate real revenue opportunities.

High-Intent Keyword Targeting: Built campaigns around commercially valuable non-branded search terms tied to electronic contract manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, and engineering services.
Technical Ad Messaging: Tightly aligned ad copy with TRICOR’s technical capabilities, certifications, and market positioning to maximize relevance and qualified click-through rates.
Qualification-Driven Approach: Prioritized traffic from users with stronger purchase or project intent, reducing wasted spend on low-quality or irrelevant clicks from non-buyers.
Budget Efficiency: Maintained disciplined spend management to produce substantial conversion volume while significantly reducing total spend compared to the prior period.

Results

The PPC campaign delivered 225 conversions from 2,158 clicks and 17,942 impressions while holding total spend to ,735.30—a major reduction compared to the prior period while still generating substantial lead volume. The overall click-through rate of 12.03% demonstrates strong ad relevance against TRICOR’s highly specialized target audience.

Top-performing ad groups including Medical Device Manufacturing and Electronic Contract Manufacturing generated strong engagement, confirming the campaign was reaching buyers actively searching for TRICOR’s highest-value services. The results demonstrate a much more efficient use of budget with stronger traffic quality, turning paid search into a focused, high-value lead-generation channel for a specialized B2B manufacturer.
