Boat sales are the core of a dealership, but the sales cycle is typically longer. That means “more leads” doesn’t automatically translate into near-term revenue.
Our strategy treats the dealership as two connected growth tracks:
Service department (quick wins): predictable inbound service demand to drive immediate revenue and keep bays full
Boat sales (long-cycle nurture): build authority and visibility over time so your dealership is the trusted choice when buyers are ready
Service growth does more than improve revenue this month—it creates retention and loyalty that supports future boat sales.
Have a real service department (advisors, techs, bays, scheduling process)
Want to increase service revenue and fill the calendar with the right work
Can answer calls or return them same day during the week
Have clear boundaries (service radius, brands you support, vessel types)
Want tracking and accountability tied to qualified service inquiries
Want “more leads” without qualification
Can’t respond consistently or don’t have scheduling capacity
Take every job regardless of brand, scope, or profitability
Want marketing that looks good but can’t be measured
Dealers are uniquely exposed to noisy demand:
-Warranty-only calls with no relationship or eligibility
-Out-of-area owners looking for emergency help
-“Can you service my brand?” requests that don’t match your tech stack
-Low-margin jobs that block higher-value installs and scheduled maintenance
-Busy seasons where the phone rings nonstop but the calendar doesn’t improve
The fix isn’t more visibility. It’s controlled demand that protects your advisors, your bays, and your customer experience.
We start with Google Search because it captures demand at the moment it exists—when owners are actively trying to book service.
High-intent service keywords + location targeting
Call-first routing where urgency matters
Tight geographic controls to prevent out-of-area intake
What you get: more inbound from owners ready to schedule.
Dealers win by qualifying early and protecting the calendar.
Approved service categories (maintenance, diagnostics, installs, rigging, etc.)
Brand and vessel-type qualifiers (as needed)
Intake that filters out wrong-fit calls before they become long conversations
What you get: fewer dead-end calls and a higher-value service pipeline.
If it can’t be audited, it can’t be improved—or guaranteed.
Call tracking with recordings
Form tracking with qualification rules
Weekly reporting tied to qualified inquiries (not traffic)
What you get: clean accountability and clear decisions.
Once inbound is predictable, we build durability.
Local SEO to win map visibility in your service radius
Service pages built around real buyer intent (outboard service, repower support, electronics installs, seasonal maintenance)
Conversion improvements that increase booking rate and reduce cost per inquiry
What you get: lower blended cost per inquiry and more stable inbound demand.
We don’t treat boat sales like a short-cycle lead gen problem. We treat it like an authority and trust problem.
Over time, we build:
Local visibility for your dealership’s sales inventory and brands
Authority content that answers buyer questions and reduces friction
A stronger brand footprint so your dealership is the default choice when buyers are ready
Service growth creates the relationship. Sales authority converts it later.
Every dealer is different, but Demand Control commonly prioritizes:
Our system is designed to filter out:
For dealers that qualify for our PPC-first Demand Control program, we guarantee 40 qualified inbound inquiries within 90 days—or we continue working at no additional cost until you get them (capped at 60 days).
Qualified inquiry definitions and eligibility requirements are agreed in writing and enforced through tracking.
Schedule a strategy call. We’ll tell you quickly whether Demand Control makes sense for your service department, your service radius, and the work you want more of.
Yes. Demand Control is designed to reduce noise and increase fit, so your advisors spend less time on wrong-fit calls and more time scheduling profitable work.
No. Service and sales can support each other, but they require different intake and qualification. This page and system are built specifically for service demand, with sales authority built over time.
No. Filtering is part of the system. If you want to prioritize certain brands, vessel types, or service categories, we build the intake and targeting around that.
