Why Growth Stalls
Why solid shops still fight for the calendar.
Great wrenching alone doesn't fill the hangar. Here's where shops lose owners.
-
Annuals come in waves, then your hangar sits quiet
When bookings depend on the same handful of owners at your field, the calendar swings from packed to empty.
-
Owners won't hand over a plane to a shop they don't know
It's their aircraft and their safety, so an unknown shop is a hard sell.
-
A one-time AOG repair never becomes a regular customer
A stranded owner is grateful in the moment, then forgets you exist by next year's annual.
-
You're invisible when a stranded pilot searches your airport
A grounded aircraft means an owner searching “aircraft mechanic near me” within minutes.

Reactivation
Proof, not promises
Track every call, job, and dollar.
One dashboard shows every call, form, and booked job by source — so you know which ads and searches actually fill the hangar, not just which ones get clicks.
Lead Tracking Turn callers into booked jobs
Every inquiry — site, search, ad, or call — is captured and tagged to its source.
See what made the phone ring
Every new-owner call or form shows its campaign and keyword, so you fund what fills the hangar and cut what doesn't.
Follow-up that doesn't forget
Owners who don't book get a friendly follow-up until they do — no sticky notes on the front counter, no lost leads.
ROI Tracking Know your cost per booked job
We tie every booked job to the campaign that produced it, so you see your true cost per new owner — and which services return the most — before you spend another dollar.
True cost per booked owner
We connect spend to booked jobs, so each channel shows what a new owner really costs — no more guessing which ads pay.
Service-level ROI
Annuals, AOG repairs, avionics, and prebuy inspections are tracked separately, so you see which work brings your best customers.
Call Analysis Catch every call that could book
Owners call before they book — a missed call is a lost job. We record, track, and score every call so you catch the ones that didn't book and coach your front desk with real conversations.
Call recording & scoring
Hear how estimates and turnaround times get quoted on real calls, and spot the questions that make owners book — or hang up.
Missed-call recovery
A missed call texts the owner back in seconds, so they keep talking to you instead of trying the next shop down the flight line.
Review Generation Be the shop owners already trust
Owners judge an unfamiliar shop by its reviews before they trust it with their aircraft.
Automated review requests
The ask goes out right after a smooth annual or repair — a text with one tap to Google, no chasing by your mechanics.
Reputation monitoring
Every new review lands in one inbox, so you can thank happy owners fast and answer a rare bad one before it costs you bookings.

Straight answers
Marketing for aircraft maintenance shops, without the mystery
Our pricing is public and simple. Google Ads management is 10% of your ad budget with a $600/mo minimum, and there's no markup on ad spend — your whole budget goes to Google. SEO is $50 per page, starting at 10 pages a month. Custom websites are eight one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000+ (details at /websites). $0 setup, month to month, and a 30-day you-don't-pay guarantee. Tell us about your shop and we'll send exact numbers in a free proposal within one business day.
If your hangar goes quiet between annual season and everything else, or new owners only find you by word of mouth, yes — it pays for itself once a few extra annuals and AOG jobs land. We build the site, the reviews, and the search visibility that keep the calendar filled, so you can stay in the hangar instead of doing marketing at night. If you're already booked out for months, you may not need us yet.
It keeps your calendar booked. SearchPod builds your shop's website, runs Google Ads for owners searching for a mechanic right now, gets you found in local and AI search, and automates review requests and annual-due reminders — one connected system feeding your shop calendar.
Ask three things: do they understand this is a trust-first, safety-critical business and not generic "auto shop" marketing, will they show you call tracking from day one, and do you keep your website, ad accounts, and data if you leave? Vague answers there mean vague results later.
Google Ads can bring inquiries within the first few weeks. SEO, AI search, and reviews take 3–6 months to build — then they keep sending owners you don't pay per click for. Running both at once is how shops get quick wins now and a durable pipeline later.
Instead of five vendors pointing at each other, one team runs your site, ads, SEO, AI search, email, and reviews — and gets judged on booked work. Pricing is public on our pricing page, setup is $0, we take no ad-spend markup, and it's month-to-month with a 30-day guarantee. You own everything we build.
Yes — trust is exactly what we build for. Your certifications, manufacturer authorizations, and real owner reviews go where a searching owner sees them first, so a stranger's search starts to feel like a referral before they ever call.
Yes — a prebuy inspection is often the start of a years-long relationship with a new owner. We build pages and ads that answer exactly what someone buying a plane searches for, so your shop is the independent inspector they call.
Call tracking and form tracking go live on day one. Every inquiry shows the ad, search, or page that produced it, so you learn your real cost per booked job — and which services bring the most profitable work.
That's real money left on the table. We build reminder emails timed to an owner's next annual or 100-hour inspection, so a grateful one-time AOG customer becomes a shop regular instead of a name you never hear from again.
Yes — all of it. The website, ad accounts, reviews, and owner list sit in your shop's name from day one. Leave whenever you want; everything stays with you, and nothing gets held hostage.
Yes. Booking forms, call tracking, and review requests plug into the scheduling and shop-management tools your team already runs, so inquiries land in one place instead of scattered notes.
Most maintenance-shop sites launch in about 2–4 weeks. Your certifications, authorizations, and photos are usually the slow part, so we gather those first — and you get a clear timeline up front with updates as we build.
