SEO & Paid Search for Oil, Gas & Energy Industry

The blue media team has been performing SEO and Paid Search services for energy businesses for many years. We have vast experience in this very specific and profound business.

Our team member Dr. William Sen for example first started to work for German companies as Germany created the world’s first major renewable energy economy. Germany had already started to privatize and deregulate the energy business in 2004. A year later, the side effect of the energy revolution made the market extremely competitive in Germany. Even so, blue media’s team member Dr. Sen was already working for German companies in the renewable energy business.

Power Utilities and Automation Systems

A couple of years later, our team member’s experience include working for several companies engaged in the energy business. Since then, blue media’s team has kept its pace, and today we are helping renewable energy businesses with their SEO and SEM endeavors all around the United States.

Whatever your specific need may be for Paid Search or SEO, for instance: oil/gas, electricity, electric power, as well as smart home automation devices, and services (power utilities), you can use our renowned experience in the industry.

The energy business is just being privatized in the USA, and more and more States are being deregulated every year. As of 2019 only 12 states so far have been deregulated, which is only 24% – among them: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Maryland.

Industry watcher, Deloitte, in their 2018 report states that the generation of renewable energy has doubled since 2017. In the next 5-10 years, there is an expected increase of more than 1,800% in this business. And yet, only a few energy companies have effectively engaged in a holistic online marketing process. The conservative nature of business is an issue that continues to stand in the wider way of adopting SEO/SEM. Many companies we talked to seem not to know what SEO or SEM is or how it can help them capture new leads.

And yet, the companies we work for, who understand the impact of SEO in evolving new businesses, have started to see enormous increases in organic conversions – this means, for example, people who find the company through Google Search and leave their addresses to be contacted by the company’s sales representative. Most of all, SEO is more cost-effective than traditional ads in getting renewable energy products/services to domestic and international markets.

However, we do not work solely with large enterprises: smaller renewable energy operations can also profit from our vast knowledge in this space. One of them is Inspire Energy: another energy company trying to get a hold of this very new but enormously evolving business in the United States. Inspire Energy have engaged us to make sure they are in the lead as one of the biggest players in the future when it comes to online visibility.
