The brief

People rarely search for "boat rental". They search for a party barge for a bachelorette weekend, a pontoon for the family, a wake boat for a birthday. One generic page was trying to answer all of them.

Who was reading

  1. 01The bachelorette planner, booking a day nobody forgets
  2. 02The parent of three, who wants calm water and life jackets that fit
  3. 03The office manager, who wants the team outing off their plate
  4. 04The weekend visitor comparing two lakes

The strategy

Map every search to the reader behind it, then give each reader one page that answers their first question in the first line.

  1. 01One page per boat type: pontoons, party barges, wake boats and yachts
  2. 02One page per occasion, starting with bachelorette parties
  3. 03Separate pages for each lake, so local searches land on the right one
  4. 04Blogs for the questions people ask before they book

What I wrote

  1. 01Boat-type and occasion pages
  2. 02Lake pages for both locations
  3. 03A pre-booking blog series
  4. 04Headlines and calls to action for every booking page

What they said

“She understood that a bachelorette group and a family of five are not the same customer. Every page reads like it was written for the person booking, and our weekends started filling up earlier.”

“We hand her a client list and get on-brand content back on schedule, every month. Our clients think we have a much bigger writing team.”
DirectorWeb agency, US
“We went from one generic services page to a page for every neighbourhood we cover. Calls started coming from areas we had never heard from before.”
