Questions we get asked
What does Right Rudder Marketing do?
We are a marketing agency that works only with flight schools and aviation businesses. One system covers your website, your search visibility, your ads, your video, your Google Business Profile, and your follow-up. The pieces feed each other instead of being bought one at a time.
How is Right Rudder Marketing different from other marketing agencies?
We work in aviation and nothing else. Our team is made up of pilots who know the flight training business first hand. We do not just run ads. We build one system around your local market, the schools you compete with, and your enrollment goals.
What kind of results can I expect?
It depends on your market and where you are starting from. Hawkins Flight Academy went from zero trackable leads to 348 leads in six months at a $47.90 blended cost per lead. Summit Flight Academy went from 22 qualified inquiries a month to 53 within three months. Sun City Aviation Academy tripled monthly leads over two years. Market size and competition change the timeline, so we set KPI baselines in week one and you track against those.
How much does it cost to work with Right Rudder Marketing?
Programs start at $1,000 a month, with a middle tier and a custom tier built around larger operations. Ad spend is always billed separately from the retainer on every program that runs ads. The pricing page lists what each program includes and what changes when you move up.
Do you only work with flight schools in the US?
Most of our clients are US-based Part 61 and Part 141 flight schools. We also work with helicopter schools, aviation academies, and flight training organizations outside the US. If you train pilots, we can help you grow.
What happens after I fill out the contact form?
Once you submit the form, a member of our team will reach out within one business day to schedule a free strategy call. During that call, we'll learn about your flight school, review your current marketing efforts, and identify the biggest opportunities for growth—no obligation and no pressure.
What should I prepare before the strategy call?
It helps to have a general idea of your current monthly marketing budget, your enrollment goals, and any challenges you're facing (e.g., low website traffic, few leads, inconsistent enrollment). Don't worry if you don't have everything—we'll guide the conversation and help you identify what matters most.
How long does it take to see results?
Most flight schools begin seeing increased website traffic and lead flow within the first 60–90 days. Significant enrollment growth typically follows within 3–6 months as our SEO, advertising, and content strategies compound over time. We provide transparent monthly reporting so you can track progress every step of the way.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
We believe in earning your business every month. While our marketing system is designed for long-term growth, we offer flexible agreements and don't lock you into rigid multi-year contracts. Our client retention rate speaks for itself—flight schools stay with us because the results are real.
Can you help if I already have a website and some marketing in place?
Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us with an existing website and ad campaigns that aren't performing. We'll audit what you have, identify gaps, and either optimize your current assets or build new ones—whichever delivers the best ROI. Our goal is to plug into your operation and accelerate growth, not start from scratch unnecessarily.
