New business in town: << url edited out to comply with forum policies >>
Not sure where to turn anymore, I'm by no means a web designer & think I've messed up somewhere. I keep looking at my web hits & the best I've done since we opened is about 40-80 hits a week?
Any ideas on how to get into any better position to market this deal.

I know Aviation in of itself is a hard sell these days, as we all know it's in the drink again, but willing to give it one heck of a shove!
Thanks!

Low initial traffic for a niche startup is common. and pointed at search visibility and paid ads — below is a concise, prioritized plan that fills gaps those replies left out and gives practical checks that often fix the “no traffic” problem quickly.

Immediate diagnostics (do these first)

  • Confirm analytics is actually recording visits (use the realtime view to verify). If tracking is missing, install and test before changing marketing spend.
  • Check indexing: run a site:yourdomain.com search and use Google Search Console to view Coverage and submit a sitemap. Look for pages excluded by errors.
  • Verify there is no accidental blocking (robots.txt, server-level auth, or meta noindex tags).
  • Open key pages in an incognito mobile browser and run PageSpeed Insights — rendering or mobile issues frequently kill visibility.
  • Inspect the page titles and main headings: every page should target a single, specific topic (long-tail phrases work best for local/niche services).

Content, local presence and conversion fixes

  • Build 3–5 focused landing pages (core services, location, pricing/FAQ) with clear contact methods and a simple conversion action (call or booking form). Add LocalBusiness structured data and claim the free business listing via Google Business Profile to show up in local maps and searches.
  • Collect early reviews and add testimonials on pages; social proof increases click-through and conversion rates much faster than raw visitor growth.

Promotion, measurement and cautions

  • Paid search (Google Ads) can give immediate visits but start tiny, geo-targeted, with conversion tracking before scaling — measure cost per booking, not just clicks. Avoid low-quality traffic exchanges or bulk “submit traffic” services.
  • SEO is a medium-term game; expect measurable organic gains in weeks to months. Prioritize fixes that improve indexability and conversions first, then drive targeted promotion. For fundamentals and next steps, the Moz beginner’s guide is a solid resource: Moz Beginner's Guide to SEO.

Hi,
First, congratulation on the new site.
Second, how is your position in search engines? Does your site show up in the results when seraching for a phrase or a word that relates to your site on search engines?
I looked at one of your pages source code and found that you use no META tags for keywords or description. Try using those in order to help indexing your pages.
How about changeing links with other sites from the same fields of intrest?
You will need a 'Resources' or 'Links' section on your site in order to present these links.
Try storing your long lines of non HTML code in another file to which you will link from all your pages instead of placing it all on the HTML pages.

Goodluck,
Ronit
