Websites Built to Convert

Your website is a sales tool.
Are you using it correctly?

When you think about designing a website for a flight school, what comes to mind? List our fleet, showcase our instructors, put a contact form and call it done? This is what 91% of flight school websites do, but by doing this we're missing a huge opportunity.

Your website is your ultimate sales tool in your disposable. A carefully crafted website can attract the right clients, while on the other hand, not investing enough into your website design and website copy will repel your ideal customers. At the end of the day, your customers are visiting your website and making a snap judgement about you and your business.

So what makes a Right Rudder Marketing website different than all the rest? It boils down to these three marketing psychology principles. Using these marketing psychology tactics, your website will convert visitors to actual hot leads.

  • Why become a pilot
  • Your authority
  • Next steps

Put Yourself in Their Shoes

When people visit your website, they're on the fence on whether they want to start pilot training. Your website needs to show them the advantages of becoming a pilot. They're scouring all of the internet for content and resources to guide them in their decision. Become the source of truth for pilot training in your local area.

Highlight the benefits of becoming a pilot: career aspects, newer freedom, and a new community. This is your chance to answer the visitor's "why". Remember, your customers are motivated to start flight training for the following reasons:

Appeal to opposite sex

Becoming a pilot is cool and attractive

Financial benefits

Either through a pilot career or by saving time

Thrill and curiousity

Chasing a never fulfilled dream

Show Them How

Use your website to brandish your authority. Lead the visitor step by step on what's the right way to start pilot training through your program.

Most people are totally confused when first starting the journey in aviation. They're wondering how much it may cost, what the process is, and how to even get started. It's an emotional process to decide to start flight training.

Show them how you're going to solve their problem

Package your services

Describe in great detail your flight school courses. Make it easy to say yes

Highlight your authority

Showcase your experience, awards, and past students that have moved on to the airlines

Your facility and staff

This is the cherry on the cake. Show off your team and your facility

Get Their Information

You need more than just a contact form. While one form is enough to get some leads, Right Rudder Marketing takes it up a notch. We'll use plenty call to actions throughout the site to guide visitors to multiple forms.

Some tried and true lead funnels for flight schools include: booking a discovery flight, scheduling a call, and downloading a PDF guide on how to become a pilot.

Your website is a sales tool to get your visitors information so they can start training at your flight school ASAP.

CASE STUDY

Introducing SimpliFly. A flight school in the highly competitive area of Mesa, AZ.

We helped SimpliFly 10X the amount of leads coming to their school so they can train more pilots and expand their fleet.

The Challenge

When Blake from SimpliFly gave Right Rudder Marketing a call, they were looking to update their website and get more leads coming into their school to increase their revenue. They had a WordPress website already built out, social media profiles, and a GMB listing, but they weren't seeing much progress in their online rankings. With multiple flight schools at their airport competing for prospective students' attention, Blake knew he needed to do something about his digital marketing. They were ranking way below the first page of search and on the Google Map listings they were #14, well below the view so potential customers had difficulty even knowing they existed.

SimpliFly was using a local agency that wasn't specialized for flight schools and aviation businesses. There was a lot of friction in communication as the SimpliFly team had to describe the pilot training process and how aviation works. They spent a lot of time going back and forth with their previous agency to get things sounding right because the previous agency didn't understand pilots.

What We Did

The first thing we did was research the local area and their competition. With so many flight schools in their area, we had to understand what keywords were being searched for and then come up with a strategy to really accelerate their growth. We created an awesome website for them which really highlighted their main program: accelerated pilot training. We used target keywords in their website and GMB profile to really take things up a notch and we've seen great results.

The Results

They are now getting flooded with inquiries and phone calls asking about their flight school. They're ranking on the first page of Google Search and Google Maps.

Our focus now is looking at where they are ranking as #4. This is important because Google's first page listings only contain three businesses. When we get a flight school to rank as #3 or higher, their business exponentially increases.

Blake
