You need your company’s website to function as a lead-generating machine. In the aerospace industry, that could mean a lot of different things. Do you develop specific parts for aircraft? Are you looking to get in front of certain internal departments at one of the giant aviation companies? Maybe you’ve created and patented a brand-new way of kitting certain components and you need to get the word out about it.

Whatever your goal is as a company in the aerospace industry, it’s imperative that you have a high-quality SEO campaign in place to not only drive traffic to your site, but to bring in the qualified leads your business needs.

What Is SEO for Aerospace?

Search engine optimization (SEO) involves the process of increasing your website’s presence on search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) to result in more visitors coming to your site and, ultimately, contacting you to do business.

Digital Marketing Tactics for Aviation and Aerospace Industries

Sixth City Marketing has more than 12 years of experience doing SEO work for companies within the aerospace and aviation industries. Though all of our strategies are entirely custom, some of the most important elements of a successful aerospace SEO campaign include:

  • Keyword research – This is the first step in understanding where you rank for key terms related to your business. Let’s say you want to rank for anything related to manufacturing a variety of panels for Gulfstream jets. We need to first understand if you rank for any keywords related to this; a sampling of potential keywords to target in this case could include:
    • Gulfstream panel manufacturer
    • Overhead panels for Gulfstream jets
    • Gulfstream fuselage panels
    • Jet panel manufacturer
    • Jet panel suppliers

    This is a quick snapshot of some general and hyper-specific keywords that can be utilized as part of the ongoing SEO strategy.

  • Content optimization – After we know what keywords to target across your site, we’ll optimize your product and service pages to ensure they begin ranking higher in search. We’ll also create brand-new pages where it makes sense in order to target other, more specific keywords.
  • Competitor research – In order to help your business grow, it’s important to know what other businesses in your industry are doing to make them have a high ranking in search engines. From content to backlinks, we’ll analyze various aspects of your competitors.
  • Blog writing – We’ll develop creative posts that best fit your aerospace-centric audience, which in return will attract more site traffic and potentially even links.
  • Link building – Having a strong domain is much like the foundation of a home. The stronger it is, the better everything built on top of it will be. Building high-quality links to your site will help build equity and trust to your domain.
  • Technical improvements – Did you know that there are various things behind the scenes of your website that could be holding it back? Load time, 404 pages, and improper meta data are all things we help with as well.

The 4 Types of SEO You Should Be Familiar With

Even if you have worked with other agencies before, it can be hard to know exactly what you are investing in. And understanding SEO doesn’t have to be complex; it can be easy when broken down correctly. To help you learn more, here are the main four types of SEO we recommend you know and implement in your work:

On-page SEO – This refers to anything you can control on your own website pages, such as page copy, keywords, internal linking, headers, CTAs, metadata, and photos.

Off-page SEO – This includes anything you can conduct for SEO outside of your own website’s pages – for example, link building, managing directory links, optimization of local profiles, and more.

Technical SEO – Technical SEO factors in the structure of your website, redirects, canonicals, site speed, and various other aspects that contribute to your website’s user experience.

Local SEO – Although local SEO might not pertain to many businesses with a national focus and reach, it’s still an essential SEO type to be familiar with. Local SEO involves improving local rankings for businesses by optimizing their local profiles, getting backlinks from other local businesses, and more.

How SEO Campaigns Are Measured

Results for aerospace SEO campaigns are shown through:

  • Phone calls and leads from your website
  • Organic traffic to your site from search engines
  • Improvements in the user experience
  • Obtaining quality backlinks
  • Changes in keyword positions
  • Improvements in your site’s user experience

Make sure everything is on track by modifying anything that’s not producing the best results for your business.

Other Ways Marketing Helps Aerospace Manufacturers Outside of SEO

Not only is SEO for aerospace important, but a complete manufacturing marketing campaign will help you to be even more successful. You can certainly use one or more services when growing your business.

The other services we recommend integrating as part of a full aerospace marketing campaign include:
