Woolpert growth playbook

Diagnosis

Woolpert ranks #36 among ENR's Top 500 design firms and is hiring to grow its Google partnership (a partner marketer and a cloud seller), its sectors (federal, maritime and energy leaders) and its pursuits (a geospatial proposal manager).

The site under-sells the digital business: the Cloud Solutions page names no customer, does not mention supply chain or agentic AI, and the newest cloud news is from January 2025. Duplicate archive pages, draft pages in the sitemap, placeholder case-study text and a homepage without an H1 weaken the rest.

This playbook starts with Google Cloud proof and site clean-up, then builds Googler kits, cross-selling into existing clients, sector hubs and a proposal library, with packaged solutions, an outlook report and one brand as big bets.

Growth Score

6/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn the Google partnership into visible proof and seller kits, and cross-sell cloud work into the airports, ports and agencies Woolpert already serves.

Biggest Risk

NV5, Dewberry and Merrick compete on engineering and geospatial, while Google partners such as Insight (SADA) and Quantiphi lead on AI messaging; without published proof, Woolpert's digital work can look like a side business.

    Woolpert is hiring a Partner Marketing Manager to build Googler-focused programmes, case studies and competitor comparisons, and a Google Cloud seller with a $2M quota who must know supply chain, transportation and logistics. Woolpert holds Google Cloud Expertise in Retail and Supply Chain. Yet the Cloud Solutions page names no customer and no result, never mentions supply chain or agentic AI, and its newest cloud news is from January 2025. None of the 152 project pages or 12 case studies covers Google Cloud work.

    Smallest test

    Publish the New Mexico story this month and send it to five Google account teams.

    Why it works

    Publish three Google Cloud stories (the New Mexico change-detection platform on Earth Engine first, then a supply-chain or logistics client and a public-sector modernisation), each with problem, Google products used and measured result. Add a "Supply chain and logistics on Google Cloud" page and an agentic AI section, link them from the Cloud Solutions and AI pages, and put the stories in every Googler one-pager.

    Google sellers and enterprise buyers choose partners on proof in their industry. A page the new hires can send on day one turns the Expertise badges into evidence and gives co-selling something to point to.

    Several case studies on the index show template text, such as "Learn more about our city of greeley services and capabilities." The Meta data centers and Collier County stories have real summaries, so the gap is visible side by side.

    Fix the placeholder cards and check clicks in a month.

    Why it works

    Write a one-line result for every card (client, what Woolpert did, measured outcome), add filters by industry and solution, and make the summary a required field in the template.

    The index is where prospects and Google sellers browse proof. A clear result on every card gets more stories read and avoids looking unfinished.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Results not approved by clients

      Use the deliverable instead of a metric.

    Noindex the lidar archive and watch the real page.

    Why it works

    Set the /industry/ and /solution/ archives to noindex (or redirect each to its real page), drop them from the sitemap, and keep them only as internal filters. Then check Search Console for which URL ranks for "Woolpert lidar" and similar queries.

    One strong URL per topic ranks better than two weak ones, and searchers land on the page with the story and contact form rather than a list of posts.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Losing a ranking archive

      Redirect it to the real page rather than dropping it.

    Evidence

    Why it works

    Unpublish the drafts or set them to noindex and remove them from the sitemap, move the signature generator behind the employee login, and add a checklist step so test pages never ship in the sitemap.

    A clean sitemap keeps search attention on the pages that sell, and nobody finds a half-built "About New" page.

    Write one H1 that states the position (architecture, engineering and geospatial with digital intelligence, the line already in the meta description), add the ENR rank and three proof numbers below it, and route the main button to a contact form that asks for the sector.

    A clear headline helps search engines and first-time visitors understand the firm in five seconds, and the Senior Marketing Manager's positioning framework needs a home page that carries it.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Sectors want their own headline

      Use the H1 for the firm and sector pages for detail.

    Evidence

    Utility and developer buyers search for energy specialists. A dedicated page with numbers gives the new leader a platform and lets campaigns target energy alone.

    Why it works

    Make one seller one-pager per Expertise (who to call Woolpert for, three qualifying questions, one customer result, contacts), host them on a partner page, and run a 30-minute monthly briefing for Google account teams in the target regions.

    Google sellers bring in partners they understand and trust. Short, specific kits make Woolpert the easy referral in each industry.

    Run one workshop with an airport client.

    Why it works

    List existing aviation, cargo and maritime clients, map each to a Google Cloud use case (asset tracking, location services, demand forecasting), and run joint account plans with the project managers who know them. Offer a short data workshop as the first step.

    Cross-selling to clients who already trust Woolpert is faster and cheaper than cold prospecting, and it ties the digital business to the core engineering one.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Publish the Air Force page.

    Why it works

    Build one page and capability statement per agency: relevant projects (installations, airfields, hangars), contract vehicles, clearances and contacts. Link the contracting vehicles from each, and give seller-doers a PDF version for meetings.

    Federal buyers check past performance with their own agency first. Agency pages shorten that research and help with sources-sought responses.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Project disclosure limits

      Use cleared descriptions only.

    Build the prospect list. The list compiled from public sources, verified, deduplicated and delivered to your CRM. Usually live within days.

    Book a working session

    Why it works

    Build a "from seafloor to terminal" campaign: one case per stage (hydrography, marine engineering, terminal design, destination planning), a short video, and a target list of port authorities and cruise lines in North America, Europe and Australasia.

    Port and cruise clients buy multi-year programmes. Showing the full chain makes Woolpert the single partner rather than one of several.

    Why it works

    Create a mission-critical hub: data-center design, power and site selection (with the energy team), semiconductor and advanced manufacturing, and the Meta story, with a guide on schedule acceleration and a contact for developers and hyperscale owners.

    Data-center demand is one of the biggest growth markets in design, and buyers want proof of repeat work at scale.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Client confidentiality

      Use anonymised projects where needed.

    Evidence

    Why it works

    Add structured fields to every project (client type, agency, solution, year, size, contract vehicle) and an internal search, then pull proposal-ready project sheets from the same records. Fill gaps with new project pages each month.

    Faster, better-matched past-performance sections raise win rates and free proposal teams for strategy, and the public pages get better filters too.

    Woolpert builds AI on Google Cloud (Earth Engine change detection for New Mexico, flood modelling for Mecklenburg County) and is a Premier Partner, but its Products page lists other tools and other brands. Google sellers find it easier to co-sell a named, priced solution than custom services.

    Smallest test

    Price one solution and test it with three clients.

    Why it works

    Turn two repeatable builds into packaged solutions (for example water-quality change detection and flood risk modelling), with fixed scope, pricing, demo and onboarding, and list them where Google sellers and customers buy partner solutions.

    Packaged solutions scale beyond the team's hours and make Woolpert visible in Google's co-sell motion.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Custom needs per client

      Sell the package as a starting point.

    Smallest test

    Publish one map with commentary.

    Why it works

    Publish a yearly outlook on where data centers and power can be built (grid capacity, flood risk, land), with maps from Woolpert's geospatial data and case examples, launched at energy and data-center events.

    Original, map-based research earns press and links and gives market directors a reason to call developers and utilities.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Data licensing

      Use public and owned data only.

    Evidence

    • HiringSector growth leaders: a Federal Market Director (posted July 14, 2026) leading "seller-doers" for the "Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, NATO, Veterans Administration" in the US, Europe and Indo-Pacific; a Maritime Market Director (NYC or Miami) for cruise ports, cargo terminals, marinas and "island destination planning" across North America, Europe and Australasia; and an Energy Practice Leader (Columbus, posted October 16, 2026) to "Expand Woolpert's market presence throughout utility, renewable energy, transmission, distribution, pipeline, and energy infrastructure sectors" and "Promote innovation, thought leadership".Source

    Smallest test

    Move one product page onto woolpert.com.

    Why it works

    Plan a brand migration: product pages on woolpert.com with consistent design, redirects from the acquired domains when each rebrands, regional pages for the UK and Ireland, and one enquiry system.

    One strong domain ranks better, cross-sells more, and makes the global firm visible as one company.

    Risks and how to handle them

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

Have it built

ProgrammableAgency

1 of the 21 ideas are things Programmable builds and runs for its customers: pages, outreach, prospect lists, booking flows and monitors. Pick one, or send the whole list.

Prospect lists1The list compiled from public sources, verified, deduplicated and delivered to your CRM.

A 30-minute session with the engineer who would build it, not a sales call. You leave with a plan whether or not you hire us.

Book a working session

Usually live within days.

Tools for the rest

ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value long relationships. The most cited problem: aging infrastructure and tight budgets.

  • Too much data and too little insight
  • In their words: “resilience”

Market

Competitive landscape

5 competitors compared: NV5, Dewberry, Merrick, Insight (SADA) and 1 more.

  • Gap to exploit: Geospatial AI packaged for Google co-sell
  • NV5: Less cloud partner depth
  • Dewberry: Smaller digital offer

Hiring signals

Woolpert is investing in its Google partnership and in sector growth.

  • Partner Marketing Manager (Google): Joint marketing plans, Googler programmes, case studies. Ideas 1, 7, 13, 21.
