No obligation. Your audit covers Google rankings, technical SEO and how AI engines answer for aerospace and defense manufacturers like you.
Sourcing engineers and supply chain managers at primes and tier one suppliers start with a capability search long before they open a supplier portal. They type queries like AS9100 certified machine shop, ITAR registered sheet metal fabrication or titanium 5-axis machining supplier, then vet the results against certifications, NAICS codes and past program work. More of that early vetting now happens inside ChatGPT and Gemini, where a buyer asks for a shortlist of qualified suppliers and gets a handful of names.
If your shop is not on that shortlist, you never get the RFQ. Your website has to spell out certifications, capabilities, tolerances, materials and quality systems in a form both Google and AI engines can read and cite. Your Google presence and your entity footprint on the directories buyers trust have to agree with each other, or the engines will pick a competitor with cleaner signals.
What your customers are typing
Every one of these is a search Skyfield can win for you on Google and inside AI answers.
The problems we see most often when we audit aerospace and defense manufacturers.
Most manufacturer sites list machining, fabrication and assembly as single words. Buyers and AI engines need materials, tolerances, part sizes, certifications and industries served on separate pages to match a query.
AS9100, NADCAP, ITAR registration and CMMC status often sit inside downloadable certificates that search engines skip. If the text is not on the page with schema, it does not count.
Thomasnet, supplier databases and trade association listings dominate the results for supplier queries, and AI assistants pull their shortlists from those same sources.
SEO, GEO and website development from one team, built around how aerospace and defense manufacturers actually win customers.
Rankings and leads from Google for the services and locations aerospace and defense manufacturers compete on.
Generative engine optimization so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend you.
An aerospace and defense manufacturing website has to prove qualification fast: certifications, capabilities, equipment lists, quality systems and an RFQ form that accepts drawings and specs. Skyfield builds these sites SEO-ready with capability page structure, schema and secure quote handling from day one.
We treat every process, material and certification as a page that can rank on its own. A 5-axis machining page, a titanium page, an AS9100 page and a defense electronics assembly page each pull a different buyer query. Most manufacturing sites carry technical debt from old builders, slow image galleries and duplicate capability content, so we fix crawl and speed issues first. Then we produce engineering content, case-style project writeups without naming restricted programs, and technical guides that trade publications and engineering resources link to, which is the kind of authority that moves national and international rankings.
Every campaign runs on our Five Pillars of SEO framework and reports from your own Google Search Console and GA4 data, so the numbers you see are the numbers Google sees.
Get a Free SEO AuditWhen a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for AS9100 machine shops that handle Inconel, the answer is assembled from supplier directories, association member lists, trade press and manufacturer sites with clear structured data. We make your site the easiest source to quote: Organization and Manufacturer schema with certifications and NAICS codes, answer-first capability content that states exactly what you make and for whom, consistent entity data across Thomasnet, SAM.gov, state manufacturing directories and trade associations, and citations on the engineering and defense industry sources those engines lean on for this sector. Every tracked prompt shows whether you are being named.

I have had the privilege of working closely with Skyfield Digital through my role, engaging with their team on a near-daily basis across a wide range of initiatives. Their support spans everything from consistent day-to-day assistance and detailed monthly reporting to large-scale campaign execution. This has included email communications, video creation and editing, publishing, web content development, and the buildout of our company app—each handled with excellence and precision. Throughout my experience with multiple members of their team, I have encountered nothing short of professionalism, clarity, and confidence. Their communication is consistently thoughtful and proactive. When I’ve needed additional clarity, they have taken the time to explain processes thoroughly—always in a way that is respectful, encouraging, and empowering. What sets Skyfield Digital apart is their transparency and foresight. They clearly articulate their capabilities, and when challenges arise, they communicate proactively—offering solutions while setting clear expectations. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Skyfield Digital for application development, web design, and comprehensive digital strategy, reporting, and support. Their team is exceptional, and their partnership has been invaluable.Read the full review on Google
We’ve worked with Skyfield Digital for over a year, and they’ve become a genuinely invaluable partner to our business. Their team operates with exceptional efficiency, professionalism, and a genuine openness to feedback, consistently integrating themselves as an extension of our internal team rather than a traditional agency. What distinguishes Skyfield Digital is their collaborative and transparent approach. They don’t simply deliver outcomes; they actively educate and upskill our team, strengthening our internal understanding of SEO strategy and enabling more informed, strategic decision-making across our broader marketing efforts. During a full brand evolution and new website launch, Skyfield Digital proved to be an outstanding partner, yet again. They worked seamlessly with third-party brand and web designers, of our choosing, conducting comprehensive audits and extensive backend work to ensure the website was technically robust, fully searchable, and performance-driven — allowing the design team to focus on delivering a visually exceptional result. Their ability to collaborate across teams made a complex process feel smooth and well managed. Most importantly, the impact has been measurable. Last year, we achieved 30% business growth as a direct result of integrating Skyfield’s SEO strategy into a more holistic marketing approach. Skyfield delivers measurable results while building sustainable, long-term value. We would confidently recommend them as a trusted digital growth partner.Read the full review on Google

Plans start at $1,500 per month for the Launch tier, with Growth at $2,500, Authority at $3,500 and Scale from $5,000 to $10,000. Most manufacturers with several processes and certifications land in Growth or Authority so we can cover each capability and industry page. Every plan includes content, backlinks and tracked AI prompts.
Technical fixes and capability page structure usually show movement in Google within the first two to three months. Competitive process and certification terms take six months or longer because you are competing against established supplier directories. RFQ volume tends to follow once certification and capability queries rank on page one.
Both, and the pages are different. Regional pages win primes and tier one suppliers who prefer nearby vendors for quick turns, while national capability pages win program buyers searching by process and certification. We map each page to the buyer radius that fits the work.
Yes, especially for early shortlist building before a formal RFQ. A sourcing engineer asks for certified suppliers by process and material and gets names, so being cited there puts you in the running before the portal search ever happens. We track those prompts weekly so you can see when you appear.
Yes. We write about processes, materials, tolerances and industries served without naming programs, part numbers or restricted details. Your compliance or export control lead reviews every page before it goes live, and we build that review step into the content workflow.
We report Google Search Console rankings and clicks for capability and certification terms, GA4 RFQ form submissions and drawing uploads, and how often AI assistants cite your company on tracked prompts. Everything lives on a weekly Monday.com board your team can open any time.
