Thirty years of craft that nobody could see online
Maquinados López has been working since 1993 for industry in the Bajío region, mostly automotive, and its clients came by word of mouth. Online, it did not exist: the domain led to an almost empty page, it had no Google listing and the building does not even have a sign.

A website that tells the shop’s story the way a buyer searches for it
Before writing a single line, we got to know the shop with Gerardo López: what machines it has, what parts it is asked to make and how an order comes in. The site went live on September 4, 2026 with one page per process and per industry, a blog with the real questions from purchasing and maintenance teams, and the facts an AI assistant needs to recommend a business with confidence. The whole site pushes toward a single step: sending the drawing over WhatsApp.
One page per process, with a WhatsApp quote one click away.

The first shop ChatGPT names for a part made to drawing
When someone asks ChatGPT for a shop in Querétaro to make a part to drawing, Maquinados López is the first shop it names: it did so in all three tests on November 3, and in two of them it also put it at the top of the list, labeled “Mi primera recomendación” (My top recommendation). The answer repeats what the website says: CNC and manual turning, milling, grinding, one-off parts and “since 1993”.
ChatGPT, November 3, 2026, logged out: Maquinados López, “My top recommendation”. Three logged-out tests; an assistant’s answers vary.
