PA Dry Ice: 20 inbound leads in the first two weeks.

A Pennsylvania dry ice manufacturer moved from a dated WordPress site to a conversion-focused website with buyer-specific paths, seven interactive tools, location pages, customer portals and a custom operating system to run the business.

The new PA Dry Ice homepage built by Terra
Background

A strong product with a website that held it back.

PA Dry Ice manufactures dry ice daily and serves commercial, recurring and retail customers from three Pennsylvania locations. The original WordPress/Elementor site didn't reflect that.

  • Limited conversion paths — few clear routes from a visit to a request
  • Weak calls to action that didn't match different buyer needs
  • Inconsistent contact presentation across pages
  • Underused search opportunities (products, locations, common questions)
  • Customer workflows disconnected from the website

Two different measures and periods: the 20 inbound requests are client-reported, cover the first 14 days and came from all channels — they are not the same as the 216 organic search clicks. Search Console figures cover 15 days (Sep 30–Oct 14, 2026), or 14.4 organic clicks per day.

  3. Order / request management
  4. Employee workflow

Owner benefit (expected)
Centralized information and a faster read on the business.
Customer ManagementDetails

Customer details, history and follow-ups weren't kept together.
Terra solution
Customer records with history and follow-ups. Each customer has one record staff can review and update.
Owner benefit (expected)
Organized customer information and fewer missed follow-ups.
Orders & ReorderingDetails
Operational problem
Repeat orders meant re-entering the same details by hand.
Terra solution
Order management with a reordering path for repeat customers. Past orders can be repeated instead of re-keyed.
Owner benefit (expected)
Less manual order entry and easier repeat business.
Employee ManagementDetails
Operational problem
Staff responsibilities and workflows were hard to see.
Terra solution
Employee area with responsibilities and workflows. Staff sign in to their own area to see and handle their work.
Owner benefit (expected)
Better visibility into who is doing what.
Customer PortalDetails
Operational problem
Customers had to call or email for routine information.
Terra solution
A customer portal on the live site. Customers sign in to view relevant information and manage requests.
Owner benefit (expected)
Fewer routine calls and faster customer responses.
Reporting & AnalyticsDetails
Operational problem
Demand and customer activity were hard to measure.

Owner benefit (expected)
Clearer understanding of demand and performance.
Integrated Website InquiriesDetails
Operational problem
Website requests had to be copied into other tools by hand.
Terra solution
Website inquiries connected to operational workflows. Requests from the site enter the system for follow-up.
Owner benefit (expected)
Fewer manual handoffs between the website and the team.

Screenshots of the operating system will be added once sanitized captures (sample records only, no customer data) are available. Measured savings: none recorded yet.
