Mendix (Siemens) growth playbook

Point every ICX URL (/products/intelligence-center-x/, /intelligence-center-x/, /icx/) at one canonical ICX page, either on mendix.com or on siemens.com, and stop the announcement banner from being reachable as a page. Make that page the hub: the five capabilities, how Mendix, Graph Studio and AI Studio fit, industry use cases, the two ICX customer videos, and a "bring your problem" request that routes to the ICX field team. Add ICX to the homepage above the footer, to the navigation and to llms.txt.

The new ICX hires will send executives, analysts and partners to these URLs in every email, deck and event. A broken first click costs credibility with exactly the senior buyers the program targets, and assistants that read llms.txt will keep describing Mendix as only low-code.

[ ] One canonical ICX page agreed
[ ] /products/intelligence-center-x/, /intelligence-center-x/, /icx/ redirect to it
[ ] Announcement posts not reachable as pages
[ ] Hub: five capabilities, product map, use cases, proof
[ ] "Bring your problem" form routed to the ICX field team
[ ] ICX on the homepage above the footer and in navigation
[ ] ICX, Graph Studio and AI Studio in llms.txt
[ ] Same checks for /de/, /ja/, /fr/, /ko/, /zh-CN/

• Two sites, two owners

  Agree one owner and one canonical URL with Siemens before building.

• Hub competes with whats-new

  Redirect or retitle whats-new once the hub is live.

• Your websiteIntelligence Center X on mendix.com (checked October 21, 2026): /products/intelligence-center-x/ redirects to /announcement/intelligence-center-x/, a 2 KB fragment of the site's announcement banner with no title or description ("Meet Intelligence Center X", "Explore now", "Close Announcement"), whose link goes to /whats-new/; /intelligence-center-x/ returns 404 and /icx/ redirects to siemens.com. On the homepage ICX appears only in the footer: "Mendix is part of Siemens' Intelligence Center X ... Go to: Intelligence Center X".

• Your websiteThe /whats-new/ page is the ICX explainer: title "What's New with Mendix and Intelligence Center X", heading "Mendix is now part of Intelligence Center X", the launch press text ("Siemens today announced Intelligence Center X, new industrial AI orchestration software ...") and a webinar replay. Siemens' own ICX page says it "scales AI across domains and systems".Source

Change the template so the hidden H1 uses the page's headline without the "| Siemens | Mendix" suffix, or drop it where a visible H1 exists. Fix the footer label. Run a template check across the six language versions.

One template fix improves every page's heading structure, and a misspelled rival name on the comparison link looks careless to evaluators.

• Accessibility regression

  Test with a screen reader before release.

• Your websiteHomepage: title "Mendix activates your agentic enterprise | Siemens | Mendix"; the page's first H1 (screen-reader only) repeats the whole title including "| Siemens | Mendix", the same pattern as /pricing/ and /whats-new/; the visible heading is "Modernize how your business works".

Render a small consent bar in the page HTML instead of a large late-loading overlay, load the consent platform's full script after first paint, and audit the tags it gates. Re-measure field data monthly.

Hand-write llms.txt: one paragraph on Mendix within ICX, then sections for products (Mendix, Graph Studio, AI Studio), use cases, industries, customer stories by industry, pricing and how to start a pilot. Review it each quarter with product marketing.

AI assistants increasingly answer "what is Mendix" and "what is Intelligence Center X" for buyers; the file is the cheapest way to shape that answer.

Industry buyers search and evaluate by their problem, and sellers need one page per conversation.

Write a pilot page: who qualifies, the four-week plan, what the customer provides, what they keep, and two examples. Use a short intake form that the ICX team scores; make it the call to action on the ICX hub and in ABM.

A concrete, bounded offer turns executive interest into a next step and filters for serious buyers.

  Cap per quarter and qualify strictly.
