No obligation. Your audit covers Google rankings, technical SEO and how AI engines answer for government IT vendors like you.
A contracting officer doing market research, a prime looking for a small business teaming partner or a county CIO replacing a legacy system all start with search. They type GSA MAS IT vendor for cloud migration, FedRAMP authorized case management software, or 8(a) IT services contractor with CMMC, then verify what they find in SAM.gov and past performance records. More of that early research now runs through ChatGPT and Gemini, where a program manager asks for vendors with a specific vehicle and capability and gets a short list.
Government IT buying is slow and documented, so every claim on your site has to be verifiable and specific. Contract vehicles, socioeconomic certifications, NAICS codes, security authorizations and past performance need to be readable by Google and AI engines as text on indexed pages. Vendors that bury this in a capability statement PDF do not make the shortlist.
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 government IT vendors.
Most government IT vendors put their vehicles, NAICS codes and certifications in a downloadable PDF. Search engines and AI models rarely read them, so the site itself says almost nothing.
Booz Allen, Leidos and the big system integrators rank for federal IT head terms. Small and mid-size vendors need to win on specific vehicles, agencies and technologies.
Buyers search in acquisition language like CPARS, contract vehicle and set-aside, while vendor sites use marketing language. The pages never match the queries.
SEO, GEO and website development from one team, built around how government IT vendors actually win customers.
Rankings and leads from Google for the services and locations government IT vendors compete on.
Generative engine optimization so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend you.
A government IT vendor site has to present contract vehicles, certifications, NAICS codes and past performance as indexable text, meet Section 508 accessibility standards and make it easy for contracting officers and primes to request a capability briefing. Skyfield builds these sites accessible and SEO-ready.
We build pages that mirror how government buyers qualify vendors: a page per contract vehicle such as GSA MAS, SEWP, CIO-SP4 and state cooperative contracts, a page per capability like cloud migration, cybersecurity, application modernization and managed services, a page per agency or level of government you serve, and certification pages for 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, FedRAMP and CMMC. Past performance gets structured, indexable case pages. Technical work covers Section 508 accessibility, fast pages and clean crawling of any capabilities portal. Content on procurement trends, agency modernization mandates and compliance guidance earns links from GovTech publications and industry associations.
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 ChatGPT for small business IT vendors on SEWP with cloud experience, the model pulls from vendor sites, SAM.gov entity data, GSA eLibrary, GovTech coverage and industry directories. We make your company citable with Organization and Service schema that lists vehicles, NAICS codes, certifications and capabilities, answer-first pages that state exactly which agencies, vehicles and technologies you cover, consistent entity data across SAM.gov, GSA eLibrary and vendor directories, and earned mentions in the publications and association lists AI engines reference for government contractors. We track buyer prompts weekly.

Combined SEO and GEO plans start at $1,500 per month and scale up through Growth, Authority and Scale tiers to $10,000 per month depending on how many vehicles, capabilities and agencies you target. Every plan includes content, backlinks and tracked AI prompts. Most vendors fit Growth or Authority.
Vehicle, certification and capability pages usually rank within three to five months because few competitors build them properly. Inbound teaming requests and RFI invitations tend to follow in the six to twelve month range, matching the slower pace of government procurement.
Only if you sell to all three. We build separate pages for each level because the vehicles, buyers and vocabulary differ. A vendor focused on state and local gets cooperative contract and county pages, while a federal vendor gets agency and GSA content.
Yes. Program managers and primes use AI assistants to build vendor lists, understand contract vehicles and compare capabilities before touching SAM.gov. Being cited in those answers puts your firm on the initial list, and GEO work makes that happen.
We present past performance at the level your contracts allow, typically agency, scope, vehicle and outcome, and omit anything restricted. Structured case pages with that detail still rank and give AI engines something to cite.
