Aerospace Manufacturer Achieves 675% Traffic Growth

In aerospace manufacturing, credibility is everything.

Engineers and procurement managers don’t casually search for suppliers, they’re looking for a partner who can meet exacting compliance standards and deliver precision at every stage.

Our client, a well-established aerospace manufacturer specializing in high-precision components for commercial and military aircraft systems, had decades of experience and a strong industry reputation. But online, they were being outpaced by their direct competitors. Even though they manufactured high-demand products, their website wasn’t ranking for the search terms that mattered most, such as “precision aerospace machining,” “custom aerospace components,” and “aerospace parts supplier.”

That meant when engineers and procurement teams were actively searching for new partners, our client wasn’t a contender. And in aerospace, even small improvements in search visibility can translate to millions in new RFQs and contracts. The challenge was clear: they needed to strengthen their authority in the aerospace sector and reach the right decision-makers online.

Given the client’s established domain authority, we focused on guest posts as the primary tactic to elevate thought leadership, reach new industry audiences, and drive high-intent traffic. Curated links were used as a supporting mechanism to reinforce authority signals and boost rankings for competitive keywords.

At Rhino Rank, we have created hundreds of link building campaigns for manufacturing companies, so we drew on our industry expertise to craft a strategy tailored to the aerospace industry.

Guest Posts: We created technical and industry-focused articles that positioned the client as a thought leader in aerospace engineering. These were placed on respected aerospace, industrial, and engineering websites where procurement managers and OEMs regularly seek insights.

• 10x DA50+ Guest Posts ($2,800)
• 10x DA40+ Guest Posts ($1,600)
• 10x DA30+ Guest Posts ($1,200)

Curated Links: We secured contextually relevant backlinks from trusted industrial resources, sector-specific directories, and technical publications. This combination ensured that the client reached a highly relevant audience while reinforcing authority signals to search engines.

• Curated Links Package 3 ($2,200)
  • 7x RD 20-100 links
  • 6x RD 100-250 links
  • 6x RD 250-500 links
  • 3x RD 500+ links

With a monthly SEO budget of around $8,000, the campaign was carefully balanced to drive both visibility and credibility in a competitive market.

We started the campaign by conducting a full audit of the client’s website and existing content. This allowed us to:

• Identify low-hanging keywords that could deliver quick wins and improve the clients online visibility.
• Spot high-value, transactional keywords that had the potential to generate qualified leads and new partnership contracts.

With these insights, we were able to ensure every guest post we wrote served a clear purpose, and every link we placed was as relevant and impactful as possible. Content was created to highlight the client’s expertise, technical capabilities, and client testimonials, while naturally incorporating the keywords most likely to drive business. Link placements were chosen to reach the right audience, including engineers, procurement managers, and aerospace OEMs, ensuring the client’s authority was seen by decision-makers.

We also monitored performance closely throughout the campaign. By tracking keyword rankings, organic traffic, and leads each month, we could refine content topics, link placements, and anchor text strategy. This approach allowed us to:

• Push quick-win keywords, where the client was already ranking in mid-tier positions, onto page one faster.
• Maintain a long-term authority-building strategy, ensuring sustainable growth over time.
• Continuously adjust the campaign to stay ahead of competitors and maximize ROI.

After 9 months of targeted guest post link building, the client began to see some impressive results. 

Organic traffic skyrocketed from just over 4,000 to 31,000 monthly visitors, a 675% increase, connecting the company with a highly qualified industrial audience actively searching for their products and services.

At the same time, page-one keyword rankings climbed by 298%, with terms like “precision aerospace manufacturing” and “custom aerospace components” now ranking prominently. 

These improvements directly translated into real business results, as the client saw a steady increase in high-value leads that turned into new contracts both domestically and internationally, proving the tangible ROI of the link building campaign.

This case study shows how a focused link building strategy can elevate an established aerospace manufacturer’s online authority, attract highly qualified leads, and drive measurable revenue growth.
