Consensys growth playbook

Replace the Google Form with a HubSpot form on a consensys.com page, keeping it to five fields: institution type (bank, custodian, CSD, exchange, asset manager, central bank, other), what they want (access, execution, interoperability, network engines, managed hosting, advisory), region, timeline and a message. Pass the button the visitor clicked into a hidden field, so "Operate securely at scale" arrives tagged as managed services. Route institutional enquiries to BD the same day with an automatic reply that names the next step. Send press, partnership and careers enquiries to their own owners.

Institutional sales are long and documentation-heavy, so the first message should already say who the buyer is and what they need. A form that feeds the CRM turns the website into pipeline that can be counted, prioritised and followed up, and gives the new BD hire clean data from day one.

Institution type: bank / custodian / CSD / exchange / asset manager / central bank / other
Interest: access / execution / interoperability / network engines / managed hosting / advisory
Region: Americas / Europe / Asia-Pacific / other
Timeline: exploring / budgeted this year / in procurement
Message
Hidden: button clicked, page, campaign

• Fewer submissions

  Keep five fields and make region and timeline optional.

• Bank firewalls block third-party embeds

  Host the form on consensys.com and test it from a locked-down browser.

• Your websiteThe contact form (a Google Form titled "Contact our team") asks only "How can we help?" (Institutional inquiry, Partnership, Press & media, Careers, General inquiry) plus name, business email, company, job title and a message. It has no question on institution type, what the buyer wants to build, region or timing. HubSpot is installed on consensys.com but the form is separate from it.Source

Rewrite /products around what Consensys Incorporated sells (the engines, managed services and open-source clients), with one clear link out to MetaMask for consumer products. Rewrite /company for the new entity (Miami headquarters, US, Europe and Australia, the institutional focus) and update the homepage, products and company descriptions. Agree with MetaMask which pages move and how they redirect.

A clean story is what institutions check first in vendor due diligence, and the split is the moment to tell it.

• Losing traffic from consumer pages

  Redirect them to MetaMask rather than deleting them.

• Your websiteProducts page, still live after the split: "The Vertically Integrated Platform for Decentralized Finance", presenting MetaMask ("the world's most widely adopted self-custodial finance platform"), MetaMask Developer and Infura as Consensys products, with a "Download MetaMask" button. The company page says "We're a global team of over 700 technologists ... building the consumer platform, developer infrastructure, and protocol software", and the homepage meta description still reads "building the tools, infrastructure and research that power the new Era of Decentralized Finance".Source
• HiringEvery Consensys post: "Consensys Incorporated is an independent blockchain infrastructure company, spun out of Consensys Software Inc." that connects "banks, asset managers, custodians, and financial market infrastructures to digital asset networks"; "Headquartered in Miami, Florida, and operating across the US, Europe, and Australia", it "launched as an independent entity in September 2026".Source
• News coverageOn September 9, 2026 Consensys Software announced a split into two companies: the existing entity becomes MetaMask, and a new Consensys takes Linea, the Besu and Teku clients and the infrastructure and tokenization services sold to financial institutions, with separation expected by the end of 2026. The announcement cited a Citi estimate of $5.5 trillion to $8.2 trillion in tokenized assets by 2030.Source

Regenerate the sitemap with consensys.com URLs, set self-referencing canonicals on every page, change the consensys.io redirect to a permanent (301) one, and resubmit the sitemap in Search Console for both domains.

One clear domain consolidates rankings and makes sure searches for the new Consensys land on current pages.

• Temporary ranking wobble

  Expected for a few weeks; watch the coverage report.

• Your websiteSitemap (checked October 23, 2026): consensys.com/sitemap.xml lists 867 URLs, all on consensys.io, which answers with a temporary (307) redirect to consensys.com; older pages such as /solutions and /staking also declare consensys.io as their canonical. 656 URLs are blog posts; other sections include /blockchain-use-cases (35), /staking (24), /knowledge-base (21), /mythx (10), /academy (7) and /solutions pages for "NFT Experiences" and "DAOs and Web3 governance".Source

Publish one page per offer: the problem it solves for a settlement, custody or clearing institution, how it works, what it integrates with, the evidence available (availability, finality, privacy) and the next step. Start with interoperability. Link each page to the relevant call to action and form option.

Institutional buyers shortlist on what they can read and forward internally, and named offers make the company comparable with Digital Asset, Kaleido and Fireblocks.

Publish a trust and due-diligence page: certifications, security practices at a high level, resilience and incident process, data handling, open-source governance and the entity details after the split. Offer the detailed pack (policies, standard questionnaire answers) on request through the form. Keep it current with the security team.

Answering standard questions up front shortens procurement, and it shows the new company is ready to stand on its own.

• Too much detail in public

  Keep specifics in the pack shared under NDA.

Remove unused scripts and tags from Google Tag Manager, defer HubSpot and analytics until after first interaction, serve the hero image in a modern format with priority loading, and split the page JavaScript. Retest in PageSpeed and watch the Chrome UX Report for 28 days.

Faster pages keep the institutional visitors who arrive from events and outreach, and support the reliability story.

• Breaking tracking

  Test tags in preview before publishing.

• Google PageSpeedHomepage on mobile: performance 28/100; in the lab the main image (the Ethereum diamond) takes 11.9 s to appear and total blocking time is 2.9 s, with 1.5 MB of JavaScript, 553 KB of it unused, and Google Tag Manager the largest third party (353 KB). Real Chrome visitors fail Core Web Vitals: LCP 2.7 s and INP 654 ms at the 75th percentile (the INP limit is 200 ms).Source

Publish a short FAQ: what Consensys Incorporated is, what moved to MetaMask, which products and networks each company runs, what changes for existing clients and partners, and who to contact. Link it from the homepage and send it to every active client and partner.

Clear answers stop the split from slowing deals and keep the story consistent across sales, press and partners.

• Details still changing

  Date the page and update it at each milestone.

For each go-live, agree in advance what can be published (named or anonymised): the institution type, the problem, the architecture at a high level, time to production and the availability achieved. Publish a short case study and a one-page PDF for BD, and ask one client to speak at an industry event.

Peer proof is the strongest argument for risk-averse buyers, and production results matter more than pilots.

• Clients refuse naming

  Publish anonymised by institution type and region.

• HiringHead of Engineering (posted September 23, 2026): "We have signed clients with production dates this quarter"; "Several institutional programs are in flight with production dates between now and Q1, each with availability, latency and evidence requirements written into the contract"; the role also owns "Completing the separation from our former parent" and being "a credible technical voice with clients.

Publish an availability page for the networks and services Consensys runs: how availability is defined, maintenance windows, incident process, and monthly figures for public services. Link it from the due-diligence page and the managed services page.

Evidence that is already produced for clients becomes marketing that competitors cannot copy quickly.

• An incident becomes public

  Show the process and the fix; openness is the point.

Eight open roles in all.Source

Publish a reference architecture paper and a 30-minute recorded walkthrough: how assets and messages move between ledgers and existing systems, where finality and privacy are enforced, how keys are custodied and how incidents are handled. Gate the full paper with the new form and follow up with an architecture session.

Technical buyers trust vendors who show their design; a reference architecture also speeds up internal approval at the client.

Add an optional "register your deployment" step in the docs and releases (for security notices and upgrade guidance), track enterprise activity in GitHub issues and community channels, and offer registered institutional users a support or managed-hosting conversation.

Users of the open-source software already trust it, so support and managed services are a natural next step, and the security notices are useful to them anyway.

• Community sees it as a sales grab

  Make registration optional and useful in itself.

Offer a time-limited sandbox: a permissioned network with the interoperability components, sample assets, test integrations and guided scenarios (DvP, collateral move). Pair each sandbox with an architect session and a written result the prospect can take to its committee.
