42% revenue growth in just four weeks.
Broken Bow Water Adventures is our own boat rental company on Broken Bow Lake — the proving ground for every system we sell. We rebuilt the site experience, restructured the booking journey, tightened on-site SEO, and layered in conversion optimization. Result: a 42% revenue lift in the first four weeks — driven by a better website, not more ad spend.

Mobile-first audience — 71.9% on phones
We rebuilt the site mobile-first because that's where the bookings happen. Every service we sell is tested at 3G speeds on real phones.
Why 42% revenue growth is repeatable — not luck
Search is now the #1 growth channel
Google + DuckDuckGo + Yahoo + Bing account for 47% of all visitors. Before the rebuild the site barely ranked. Local SEO plus AI-search optimization is doing the heavy lifting.
ChatGPT is already driving bookings
19 visitors came directly from chatgpt.com — a channel that didn't exist two years ago. Structuring content for AI answers is now table stakes.
Engaged visitors, not vanity traffic
Average session is 19m 31s across 2.68 pages/visit. People are actually reading the property pages and checking dates — exactly the pre-booking behavior we optimized for.
Mobile is the whole game
72% of visitors arrive on a phone. A slow, cluttered mobile experience would have killed the revenue lift regardless of how much traffic we drove.
