1

A site that books while you guide

Real trips, live dates, deposits taken online, all on your own domain. No more "DM for rates" and no more phone tag at the boat ramp.

2

Ads that fill the middle of the week

Meta ads pulsed hard in your booking windows and quiet when you're full. Spend stays on your own card, usually $500 to $750 a month.

3

Found by people ready to book

Search built for "guided float trip" plus your water, on Google, on Maps, and in AI answers. It compounds season over season, and it's working while you sleep.

4

Reviews that keep coming

A request goes to every client after their trip, automatically. Your review count grows every season instead of stalling at last year's number.

5

One page that tells the truth

What the ads cost, what came back, what a booking cost you. Monthly, readable in a minute at the ramp, and honest when a month is slow.

Your regulars, brought back

Every client you've ever guided, back on the calendar. Season reminders, trip announcements, waitlists, last-minute-cancellation backfill. Written in your voice, never robotic, never without you.

Sample check-in
Hey Mark, the river's dropping into shape for October. Want your usual two days?
Yes! Same weekend as last year?

Check-ins that sound like you

Drafted in your voice, sent at the right times of year, and you can read every one before it goes.

Your client list, digitized

The shoebox, the old spreadsheet, the phone contacts: one clean database, in your name, running your rebooking.

Are we a good fit for each other?

This is for you if
  • Guiding is your living, and you own the operation or make the calls
  • Your Saturdays fill but the middle of your week doesn't
  • You'd rather be on the water than inside an ads manager
  • You want one team accountable for the site, the ads, and the numbers
  • You want to see the work before any money moves
This isn't for you if
  • You guide a few weekends a season on the side
  • You want a results guarantee instead of a plain-spoken report
  • You want to run the ads yourself with someone on call
  • You need custom software built, not marketing run

Why this exists

More trips booked.

That's the whole point. Not impressions, not a prettier logo, not a dashboard you'll never open. You're on the water all day; the marketing happens anyway, done properly, by one person whose name you know.

If the page of numbers ever says it isn't working, you'll hear it from me first, and you can walk that month. That's the deal.

FAQ

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, text us: (470) 777-9686.

What does Driftline actually do?

We run the marketing side of your guide business: the site, the ads, the search, and getting last season's clients back on the water (that last piece is rolling out now). We do the work, you get the bookings and one page of numbers a month.

How much does it cost?

Published right here. The website is $295/mo, or $3,500 one time to own it. Marketing is Get Booked at $1,500/mo or Stay Booked at $2,500/mo. Ad spend is separate and always on your own card, usually $500 to $750 a month at Get Booked. Nothing bills until your site is live and you've seen it.

Who is this for?

Full-time guides and outfitters: guiding is your living, roughly a hundred trips a year or more, and you own the operation or you're the one who decides. If you guide a few weekends on the side, we'd be selling you more than you need.

How does the free preview work?

We build a finished preview of your new website, for your water, before you pay anything. You look at it. If you like where it's going, we talk about the rest. Free either way, and if your water's already taken, we'll tell you before you get your hopes up.

Do I own the site?

Either way works. At $295 a month you rent it: unlimited updates, hosting, llms.txt, built-in SEO schema, and every best practice we run. Your domain and your client list are always yours, and they leave with you any month. Or own it outright: $3,500 one time and the build is yours, with optional maintenance at $150 a month.

How quickly will it work?

The site lands fast. The system builds over a season, not a week: ads work your booking windows first, search compounds behind them. We don't sell a results guarantee. The one-page report tells you the truth instead.

What does "one operation per stretch of water" mean?

Exclusive partnership: we work for one operation per stretch, at Get Booked and up. We'll never run marketing for a guide who competes with you on your own water. If your stretch is already taken, we'll tell you straight, first text.

Do I have to learn a dashboard?

No. One simple login shows your one-page report: what the ads cost, what came back, trips booked, cost per booking, where they came from. Once a month, readable in a minute at the ramp.

Get a free preview of your new website.

Tell us your water and where you're at today. We'll build a finished preview of your site, free, before any money changes hands. If your water's already taken, we'll tell you straight.

Fastest: text (470) 777-9686

Free either way. One operation per stretch of water, so if yours is taken we'll tell you straight.

Got it.

We'll check your water and email you the preview, same day in season.
