Why is Aviation SEO important?
Most aviation decisionmakers begin or at least check the Internet for specific products and services before they make a purchase. Good SEO ensures that the people who are looking for the exact item that you sell. Even better, they help them find it at the very time they are interested in making a purchase.
Natural Search versus Paid Search (PPC)
Pay Per Click or PPC ads have the advantage of being quick to implement, and are great for campaigns where quick results are vital, such as market testing a new product offering or filling seats in a seminar with a date that is coming up quickly.
But PPC is not without its problems. The cost to “bid” for popular keywords has increased dramatically in recent years without corresponding improvement in effectiveness. There is more competition in the market as more of your competitors try the “quick and easy” approach to getting search engine traffic.
PPC is great for events or “empty leg” flights. But we think it is simply too expensive to use as a regular business practice. Natural search is a much better investment in the ongoing financial health of your company.
A Long-Term Investment?
Natural Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is based on the contents and quality of your website.
Good SEO accomplishes two things:
- Influences the search engines to send more traffic your way
- Is more effective at educating and influencing propective customers who come to your site.
But, in the volatile industry of aviation SEO doesn’t last forever. Just because you optimized the site once, doesn’t mean that it will stay optimized.
The search engines have minor changes on a weekly basis, and major changes to their search algorithms every few months.
You may also be thinking:“But I just optimized our site last year!”You may also be thinking:“But I just brushed my teeth last night” or “I just preflighted the airplane yesterday.”If in doubt, or if your results are slipping, it’s probably time think about optimizing again.

Beware of Inexpensive Services
Some SEO practitioners may attempt to acquire short-term results cheaply, by using techniques such as:
- Adding poorly-written content to your website that reflects badly on your reputation
- Attempting to trick the search engines using “link farms,” automated link-building software or inexpensive labor.
- Attempting to overinflate your results with shoddy social media practices, such as “buying followers.”
These techniques may yield short-term gains, but may also cost you penalties as search engines become more sophisticated. Trying to “trick” Google into giving you a better search result is called a “black hat” SEO tactic. There are very smart engineers at Google who spend all of their work time studying these tactics and finding ways to counter them. Black hat practices can cause Google and other search engines to EXCLUDE your site from search results.
