The build
A site written for a technical buyer
Specs, materials, tolerances and capacity laid out in the terms a buyer already searches with — so they can qualify you without an enquiry, and enquire already half-scoped.
Transport Equipment
Aerospace is unforgiving on paperwork: without AS9100 — and Nadcap for special processes — a part can’t enter the supply chain, and full traceability of every material and process is non-negotiable.
Programme buyers and the AI assistants they consult screen suppliers on exactly this before a human ever reads your enquiry. I give your accreditations, special-process approvals and traceability their own structured, credible pages, so you pass that screen and reach the shortlist instead of being filtered out silently. I keep the content precise and honest, because in aerospace an overstated claim costs you the relationship.
What I'd build you
The build
Specs, materials, tolerances and capacity laid out in the terms a buyer already searches with — so they can qualify you without an enquiry, and enquire already half-scoped.
Found
A page per process, material and sector instead of one “Services” page — every one its own door into the site, matched to how buyers search rather than how the business is organised.
Asked for
Buyers ask an assistant before they ask a supplier, and it quotes whoever actually answered. Question-led content and structured data put your words in that answer.
Measured, not claimed
2.9s.
Time to main content on a phone, against 6.9s for the median of 5 comparable firms.
Reported
Speed, search visibility and enquiry volume measured on a regular cycle and reported back — so the site is answerable for something rather than just existing.
What I build for aerospace parts
Accreditation pages built for the aero procurement gate (AS9100, Nadcap special processes)
Traceability and first-article / AS9102 content that reassures a programme buyer
Capability pages by process and material (machining, sheet, composites, exotics)
A controlled RFQ flow with secure model upload sized for export-sensitive work
What manufacturers ask before they hire me. If yours is not here, ask it — the answer is usually short.
I give AS9100 and your quality system their own structured, schema-marked pages, so they surface in search and in AI answers at the exact point a programme buyer is filtering the supply base.
Yes — each special-process approval gets its own page, because a buyer sourcing a Nadcap-approved process searches for exactly that and won’t shortlist a supplier who can’t prove it.
Traceability and AS9102 / first-article content demonstrates that every material and process is documented and verified, which is the reassurance an aerospace buyer needs before they enquire.
Capability pages by process and material target the specific aero terms buyers and AI use, so your specialist work reaches the right buyer instead of being lumped in with every job shop.
The upload goes straight to you, never to a public URL, and the flow is built to sit comfortably alongside an NDA and export-control handling — which matters when buyers send controlled geometry.
At the shortlist stage a buyer is judging competence and compliance, not headcount. Credible accreditation and traceability content, precisely stated, lets you compete for programme work above your apparent size.
That’s the aim of the structured accreditation and capability content — and with my tool Periscope I measure how often ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name you for real buyer questions, then work the pages that move it.
