No obligation. Your audit covers Google rankings, technical SEO and how AI engines answer for defense software developers like you.
Program managers, prime contractor engineers and government technologists research vendors well before an RFI drops. They search DevSecOps for DoD, ATO-ready software platform, command and control software vendor, or mission planning software with SBIR history, then cross-check SAM.gov, past awards and capability statements. More of that early scan now runs through ChatGPT and Perplexity, where a buyer asks which companies build a specific type of software for the military and gets a short list of names.
If your company is not on that list, you never get the capability briefing. Your site has to rank for the software categories and programs you serve, explain your certifications and clearance posture plainly, and give AI assistants consistent, well-sourced descriptions of what you build so they cite you when a buyer asks.
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 software developers.
Most defense software firms publish a capability statement PDF and little else. Search engines and AI assistants cannot rank or cite what is locked in a download.
Large primes and system integrators own the broad category terms. Smaller developers have to win specific software type, program and framework queries.
Program sensitivity limits what you can publish, so content has to demonstrate expertise through methods, frameworks and compliance rather than named projects.
SEO, GEO and website development from one team, built around how defense software developers actually win customers.
Rankings and leads from Google for the services and locations defense software developers compete on.
Generative engine optimization so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend you.
A defense software website has to state capabilities, certifications, clearance posture, contract vehicles and past performance in a form buyers can scan and cite, with a capability statement download and a direct path to a technical conversation. Skyfield builds these sites SEO-ready with the structure and schema program offices and AI assistants need.
We build capability pages for each software type you develop, from C2 and ISR processing to mission planning, simulation, embedded software and DevSecOps platforms, plus pages for the frameworks and standards buyers search, including CMMC, RMF and ATO, Platform One and Iron Bank, and the contract vehicles and set-asides you hold. Search here is national and program-driven, so we target software categories, agencies and compliance terms rather than geography. Technical articles on secure pipelines, containerization for classified environments and accreditation earn links from defense publications and industry associations. We also fix the thin, PDF-dependent sites common in this sector.
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 engineer asks ChatGPT which small businesses build DevSecOps tooling for the Air Force, the answer draws from SAM.gov data, SBIR award listings, defense news sites, LinkedIn and company pages that state capabilities clearly. We make your company citable: Organization and GovernmentService schema with NAICS codes, CAGE code and certifications, capability pages that state what you build and for whom in the first paragraph, consistent company descriptions across SAM.gov, SBIR.gov, Crunchbase and your site, and technical content written the way AI assistants summarize it. Every plan tracks the prompts your buyers ask and reports when your company appears.

One free audit covers your technical SEO, rankings, local presence and how ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity currently answer for your business.
SEO and GEO come together in one plan starting at $1,500 per month, with Growth at $2,500, Authority at $3,500 and Scale from $5,000 to $10,000. Most defense software firms start at Growth or Authority because the content needs to be technical and the link targets are specialized. Every plan includes content, backlinks and tracked AI prompts.
Specific capability and compliance queries usually start moving within three to five months. Broad category terms owned by primes and integrators take longer and may not be worth chasing. We focus on the queries program offices actually use and report progress weekly.
Rarely for the core strategy. Defense software searches are category and program driven rather than geographic. The exception is proximity to specific installations or commands, where a page about supporting that base or agency can help. Everything else targets national and agency-level terms.
Government technologists and prime engineers use AI assistants for early market research the same way everyone else does. If those tools do not know your company or describe it inaccurately, you are absent from the first informal shortlist. GEO makes your capabilities clear and consistent everywhere those engines read.
We write about methods, frameworks, architectures and compliance processes rather than named programs or classified specifics. Every piece goes through your review and public release process before it publishes, and we never publish anything you have not cleared.
We track rankings and clicks in Google Search Console, capability statement downloads and contact requests in GA4, and mentions of your company across the buyer prompts we monitor in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. All of it appears on a weekly Monday.com board your business development team can access anytime.
