The playbook

Three services. One industry.

SEO

Rank for the queries students actually type — "flight schools near me," "Part 141 vs Part 61," "cheapest CFI program." Local pages, content, and link work tuned for aviation intent.

GEO

Get named when prospects ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for the best flight school in their area. The AI engines have a shortlist — we get you on it.

Websites

Fast, focused sites with the discovery-flight CTA on every page. Program pages, instructor bios, fleet, CFI hiring — shipped in three weeks.

Flight schools only

Generic agencies don't know your market.

Most marketing agencies show up speaking SaaS. They don't know what a discovery flight is, why Part 141 funding matters, or how an FAA medical changes a prospect's timeline. That's why their copy reads like every other lead magnet on the internet.

  • Pages that match the FAR/AIM vocabulary your students search
  • GEO entity work so AI engines name you, not the school 40 miles down the road
  • Conversion flows tuned for discovery flight bookings, not generic demos
  • Copy reviewed against training fleets, instructor caps, and DPE schedules
The method

Three phases. No retainer. Every step shows its work.

01

Map the airspace

We pull every high-intent query in your 50nm radius — rank, volume, AI Overview coverage. You see the chart before you commit. No retainer, no lock-in.

02

Ship pages that rank

Tight, specific pages built around the programs you actually offer — Part 61, Part 141, GI Bill, CFI track. Structured the way Google and the AI engines read and cite content.

03

Defend and compound

Weekly rank monitoring across Google, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Discovery-flight booking attribution wired into your CRM from day one.
