No obligation. Your audit covers Google rankings, technical SEO and how AI engines answer for manufacturers like you.
Design engineers and procurement staff search for capability and process, things like "CNC machining titanium medical parts" or "custom rubber molding low volume", then check certifications, tolerances and lead times before sending an RFQ. They also look on Thomasnet, MFG.com and industry directories. Increasingly they ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to list suppliers for a specific process and material in a region, and those answers draw on Thomasnet, trade publications, association member lists and manufacturer capability pages that spell out equipment and specs.
For a manufacturer that means capability pages have to be specific enough to match those queries, certifications and equipment lists have to be visible, and directory listings have to agree with the site. Skyfield builds all three together so an engineer who searches, browses a directory or asks an assistant finds your shop with the right process.
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 manufacturers.
One capabilities page covering machining, fabrication, finishing and assembly cannot rank for any of them individually.
Machine lists, tolerances and certifications sit in downloadable PDFs and line cards that search engines and assistants rarely surface.
Shops rely on Thomasnet and marketplaces for leads while their own site ranks for nothing beyond the company name.
SEO, GEO and website development from one team, built around how manufacturers actually win customers.
Rankings and leads from Google for the services and locations manufacturers compete on.
Generative engine optimization so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend you.
A manufacturing website has to show capabilities with real specs, prove certifications, list equipment and make RFQ submission with drawings simple. Skyfield builds manufacturer sites SEO-ready with structured process pages, indexable equipment lists and quote forms that search engines and AI assistants can read.
Skyfield builds a page for every process, material and industry served, from Swiss machining to aerospace assemblies, each with equipment, tolerances, volumes and certifications written out. Regional job shops get service area pages for the metros they ship to, while OEMs and contract manufacturers target national process and part terms. Technically we fix outdated templates, PDF-only content, missing schema and slow catalogs. Design guides, material comparison articles and tolerance references earn links from engineering publications, universities 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 AuditAsk an assistant for CNC shops that machine Inconel in the Midwest and the answer draws on Thomasnet, MFG.com, Xometry and Hubs supplier lists, trade publications like Modern Machine Shop, association directories and manufacturer capability pages with clear equipment and material details. Skyfield gets your shop listed consistently across those sources, adds Organization and Product schema with certifications and service areas, and writes answer-first process pages that state what you make, from what, at what volumes and to what standards. We track supplier-search prompts weekly and report which ones name your company.

One free audit covers your technical SEO, rankings, local presence and how ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity currently answer for your business.
Combined SEO and GEO plans start at $1,500 per month, with Growth at $2,500, Authority at $3,500 and Scale from $5,000 to $10,000. A job shop with a handful of processes usually fits Launch or Growth, while contract manufacturers serving several industries fit Authority. Every plan includes content, backlinks and tracked AI prompts.
Technical fixes and new process pages typically show movement within two to three months. Competitive process plus material terms usually take four to eight months. Niche combinations like a specific material, tolerance and industry often rank faster and bring better RFQs.
Some. Engineers often prefer suppliers within a day's drive for prototypes and audits, so regional pages and a strong Google Business Profile matter. National process and industry pages handle the rest of the volume.
Engineers and buyers now ask assistants to shortlist suppliers by process, material and certification. If the answer names competitors from Thomasnet and skips you, you never get the RFQ. GEO makes sure the sources assistants read describe your capabilities accurately.
We write about processes, equipment, materials and certifications, which are public, and never about specific customer parts or programs unless you have permission. Anonymized case studies describing part type, material and challenge still rank and cite well.
We track rankings and clicks in Google Search Console, RFQ submissions and drawing uploads in GA4, and mentions in tracked AI supplier prompts. Results are reported weekly on a Monday.com board your sales team can review.
