No obligation. Your audit covers Google rankings, technical SEO and how AI engines answer for defense contractors like you.
Market research for a defense acquisition starts on Google and SAM.gov long before a trade show. A contracting specialist searches for CMMC Level 2 certified engineering services or small business ISR software contractor, checks SAM registration and NAICS codes, then looks at the company website to confirm capabilities and past performance. Prime contractors hunting for teaming partners do the same, and increasingly they ask ChatGPT or Gemini to list suppliers with a given clearance level, certification or contract vehicle.
If your site only says defense solutions, none of that finds you. Capabilities, certifications, facility clearance, contract vehicles, CAGE code and past performance have to be stated plainly on pages built for search and readable by AI engines. Your entity has to match across SAM.gov, GovTribe style databases, trade associations and your own site, or the engine will name a competitor whose data is cleaner.
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 defense contractors.
Defense sites lean on words like mission-focused and full-spectrum, which give Google nothing to rank and AI engines nothing to cite when a buyer asks for a specific capability.
ITAR, export control and customer restrictions keep the best past performance off the site, so contractors have to build authority with what they are allowed to say.
SAM.gov, GovTribe, HigherGov and trade directories rank first for contractor queries, and AI assistants build supplier lists from those same records.
SEO, GEO and website development from one team, built around how defense contractors actually win customers.
Rankings and leads from Google for the services and locations defense contractors compete on.
Generative engine optimization so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend you.
A defense contractor website has to prove capability, compliance and past performance to skeptical government buyers, present certifications and contract vehicles clearly, and give primes and contracting officers an easy path to a capability statement and a conversation. Skyfield builds contractor sites that are compliant and SEO-ready from launch.
Defense contractor SEO is national and built on precision. We create a page for each capability, each certification and each contract vehicle you hold, plus pages for the agencies and programs you support where you are permitted to name them. Past performance gets its own indexable pages with scope and outcomes stated in the language contracting officers use. We fix the technical problems typical of these sites, like capability statements locked in PDFs and no schema at all, and earn links from defense trade press, associations and teaming partners.
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 program manager asks an AI assistant to list small business contractors with a specific certification and clearance, the engine assembles its answer from SAM.gov data, contract award databases, trade association member lists and contractor sites that state facts clearly. We give your company that footprint: Organization and GovernmentService schema with CAGE code, NAICS and certifications, consistent entity signals across SAM, GovTribe and association directories, answer-first pages on compliance and capabilities, and citations in the defense publications those engines trust.

One free audit covers your technical SEO, rankings, local presence and how ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity currently answer for your business.
Plans start at $1,500 per month and run up to $10,000 for contractors with many capability areas and contract vehicles. Every plan includes SEO and GEO content, backlinks and tracked AI prompts. Most small and mid-size contractors fit Growth or Authority.
Certification and contract vehicle pages often rank within three to four months because competition for those exact terms is thin. Broader capability terms take six months or more depending on the domain.
Mostly national, organized by capability, agency and contract vehicle. Contractors near major installations or shipyards also get regional pages, since primes often look for local subcontractors for on-site work.
Market research teams and primes now ask assistants for supplier shortlists. If your certifications, clearances and capabilities are stated plainly and consistently across your site and the databases those engines read, you get named. If not, you are invisible in that step.
We only publish what you approve and never technical data. Capability pages describe domains, certifications and unclassified scope, and past performance pages reference only what your contracts allow you to disclose.
Your weekly Monday.com board tracks Google Search Console rankings for capability and certification terms, GA4 capability statement downloads and inquiry forms, and which AI prompts now mention your company. Teaming and RFI inquiries are the outcomes we track.
