Who we build for

Websites for on-water towing and salvage

Nobody browses a towing website. They arrive with a dead engine, a phone at twenty percent, and one question: can you get to me.

Everything on the page has to serve that person, and everything else on the page has to serve the calmer version of them who is shopping for membership in March.

What this site has to do

  • Say the water you cover by name. Lakes, harbours, and how far out.
  • Be readable on one bar of signal, which means light pages and no scripts standing between somebody and your number.
  • Explain the difference between a tow and a salvage, because that difference is the bill and almost nobody understands it before they need to.
  • Be honest about what membership covers and what it does not, in a way somebody can act on before they need it.

What a customer asks an assistant, and what it needs from you

These are the questions people put to ChatGPT and Gemini about a business like yours. The right-hand column is the part that has to exist in text on a page before your name can come back as the answer.

What they askWhat the assistant needs
Boat towing on Lake Michigan near MuskegonThe water you cover, named
I ran aground, who do I call?A page that says soft ungrounding in plain words
Is boat towing covered by my insurance?Your explanation of tow versus salvage
How much does it cost to get towed on a lake?The membership economics, honestly set out

The pages you actually need

What we cover
Named water. This is the page that decides whether an assistant names you for a lake.
Towing and soft ungrounding
The everyday call, and what it costs a member versus a non-member.
Salvage
The one nobody understands until they are in it. Explaining it well is a service and a differentiator.
Membership
The economics, written plainly enough that somebody can decide in March.
For insurers and adjusters
A different reader entirely, and the one that sends repeat work.

You do not have to work any of this out. We research the business and build the whole thing before you pay anything, then you say what is wrong with it.

Questions people ask

We run under a national brand. Can we still have our own site?
Yes, and it is usually the missing piece. The national brand sells the membership; your site is what makes your port findable by name and by lake. We have built these, including for operators running several ports under one identity.
We cover several ports. Do we need a site each?
Usually yes, because somebody searching a lake wants the port on that lake, and one page trying to be four reads as a page about nothing. We build them so they share your look and identity while each one speaks about its own water.

We also build for charter captains, marinas, restaurants, shops and boutiques and trades and home services, on the Michigan lakeshore only.

See yours before you decide.

We build it first. If it is not right you say so, and if you do not want it you owe nothing.
