Everything that books trips, run for you.
Five services, one machine, one team accountable for all of it. The website convinces, the ads deliver, search harvests, and the answer engines learn your name. You guide. We run it.
Driftline runs five services for owner-run fishing guides: a booking website, Meta ads, Google ads, SEO, and AEO. The website is $295 a month or $3,500 one time. The marketing plans, Get Booked at $1,500 and Stay Booked at $2,500 a month, bundle everything and get scored in one plain-English monthly report.
Web design
A booking website built from your water and your photos, shown to you finished and free before any money moves. Every plan includes it, because everything else lands on it.
- Free finished preview first
- Your domain, your client list, yours from day one
- Unlimited updates: text us, it's changed
- Schema, llms.txt, and speed baked in
Paid social
Meta ads built from your photography, pushed hard in booking windows and quiet when you're full. Spend on your own card, scored in cost per booking.
- Photography-led creative, no stock
- Pulsed to your season and calendar
- $500 to $750 a month recommended spend
- Off when you're booked out
Paid search
Google ads on the searches anglers type ready to book: your water plus guide, float trip, charter. High-intent terms only, negatives walling off the rest.
- Money searches, nothing broad
- Clicks land on trip pages built to book
- One budget shared with social, refereed monthly
- Search terms shown, not hidden
SEO
Rank when someone types your water into Google: structure, a tended Google profile, reviews on a system, and monthly articles at the top tier. Timelines in seasons, told honestly.
- Foundations in every plan
- Google Business Profile, tended
- Reviews growing every season
- Articles about your water at Stay Booked
AEO
Answer Engine Optimization: being the name ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI give back when anglers ask who to fish with. Built into every site, measured honestly.
- llms.txt on every build
- Structured, consistent, citable facts
- Published pricing the machines can quote
- Checked monthly, gaps reported too
The report
Every service above answers to the same page: what it cost, what came back, cost per booking, where it came from. Monthly, plain English, readable at the ramp.
- One page, no dashboard
- Cost per booking, nothing softer
- Live demo you can read right now

Ad spend is separate and runs on your own card. The full ladder, including everything still rolling out at Stay Booked, is spelled out at pricing.
What agencies quote $5,000 a month for starts at $1,500.
And the website alone is $295 a month. Month to month, ad spend on your own card. The whole menu is on the pricing page, because hiding the number is a sales tactic, not a service.

What does Driftline actually do?
Digital marketing for owner-run fishing guides, done for you: the booking website, Meta and Google ads, SEO, AEO, reviews, and a one-page monthly report. You guide; we run the machine that keeps the calendar full.
Do I pick services individually?
No, and that's deliberate. The marketing services only work as a system, so they come as two published plans: Get Booked at $1,500 and Stay Booked at $2,500 a month. The website stands alone at $295 a month or $3,500 one time. The matrix above shows exactly what lives where.
Which service matters most?
The website, which is why every plan includes it and every engagement starts with a free finished preview of yours. Ads are the demand engine most guides add next; SEO and AEO compound behind them.
How is all of this reported?
One page a month: what everything cost, what came back, cost per booking, where it came from. No dashboard to learn. There's a live demo on the reports page.
Who does the work?
Driftline is a small, focused team: the people you text are the ones building the site, running the ads, and writing the report. One operation per stretch of water, so we never work against you.
