# Capability Statement and Website Readiness

A capability statement is one of the core marketing tools used in government contracting.

For many small government contractors, SBIR companies, defense-tech startups, and public-sector vendors, the capability statement, website, SAM.gov profile, and DSBS profile should work together.

## What Buyers Need to Understand Quickly

A procurement contact, prime contractor, grant reviewer, or contracting officer should be able to understand:

* What the company does
* Who the company serves
* Core competencies
* Past performance
* Differentiators
* NAICS codes
* Certifications
* Contract vehicles, if applicable
* Contact path
* Website and capability statement alignment

## Common Gaps

Common gaps include:

* Capability statement says one thing, website says another
* Website does not include a capability page
* Core competencies are unclear
* Differentiators are generic
* NAICS codes are missing or hard to find
* Past performance is not visible
* Contact path is unclear
* Website looks less serious than the company actually is
* SBIR/STTR work is not explained clearly
* Public-sector vendor positioning is weak
