Cutting is the query that matters. Somebody typing steel cut to size is a workshop, a builder or a homeowner with a project, and they are choosing a supplier on a service rather than on a price per kilo.
Buyers use the designation, never the description. Somebody working from a drawing enters a specific beam, box section, angle or plate thickness, and matching that exact term reaches a buyer with no doubts.
The small customer is under-served. A single length for a gate, a repair or a self-build is searched constantly, and most stockholders write only for trade accounts, which leaves that trade to a competitor.
Volume buyers search in tonnes. A fabricator with a contract in hand asks about price per tonne, mill certificates and delivery scheduling, and those enquiries justify a page written in their language.
