The website
A scroll-sequence site built around your own before-and-after work, live in about ten days.
Texas detailing is really two businesses in one state: lake work in the Hill Country and around Houston and Dallas, and salt work on the Gulf. The boats, the damage and the customers are all different.
A wake boat on Lake Travis and a center console in Corpus Christi are not the same job, and a website that speaks to both in general terms speaks to neither. The lake customer is often a family with a wrapped surf boat that lives on a lift; the coastal customer has salt, growth and a slip.
The shops that do well in Texas usually pick a lane and say so plainly on the front page. That's a copy decision, and it's most of the work.
Texas lake season effectively opens in March and runs through October, and the phone gets loud in a narrow window either side of Memorial Day. That makes spring the worst possible time to be rebuilding a website, and February the best.
Most shops we talk to book their spring calendar in February and March, while owners are thinking about the water and nobody else is marketing to them.
Lake work leans toward wash and wax, vinyl and upholstery, waterline stain removal and ceramic coating on gelcoat that spends its life on a lift in full sun. Bottom paint and heavy growth removal are far more a Gulf-coast conversation. Your service pages should reflect whichever half of the state you actually work.
We work with detailing shops across Lake Travis, Lake Austin, Canyon Lake, Lake Conroe, Lake Lewisville, Grapevine Lake, Galveston, Kemah, Corpus Christi, Rockport and South Padre — and anywhere else in Texas with a ramp and a backlog.

Relay answers every call, form and text in seconds and books the job while you're still working.
Local SEO and a page per marina, so you turn up at every ramp in your service area.
No. We work with marine detailing shops across the US and with home service contractors in other trades. Texas is simply one of the markets we see most, so we know the season and the search competition there well.
No, and smaller markets are often easier. Less competition in the map pack means a fast, well-structured site and quick replies go further than they would in a crowded coastal city.
Yes. Multi-location builds — a real page per marina, not a template with the name swapped — are part of the Own the Marina plan.
No, everything is done remotely: a short call, then photos and copy over email. It is a large part of why the price is what it is.
Send us your site. We’ll record a short video going through your Google profile and the map pack for your Texas marinas, and show you where the jobs are leaking out. No call to book.
