Your inventory should be fishing for buyers.

Marketing, SEO and websites for boat and powersports dealers on Lightspeed DMS. We put your in-stock units, service department and parts counter in front of the people searching for them, and send the leads to your sales desk.

Searches for a boat dealer near me run at about 40,500 a month from December through April, then drop to 22,400 by midsummer.

Boat show season and the spring rush are when buyers pick who they’ll call. If your units, prices and payments aren’t on Google then, the dealer down the lake gets the call. ATV and UTV buyers follow the same curve.

Lightspeed knows your inventory. Google doesn’t, yet.

Your units, prices and photos already live in Lightspeed. We make sure they reach your website as pages that rank, and that every page asks for the next step.

  1. Source

    Lightspeed DMS

    New and used units, stock numbers, prices, photos and parts.

  2. Sync

    Your website platform

    Dealer Spike, ARI or a site we build. Units update through its Lightspeed integration or Lightspeed’s third-party access.

  3. Rank

    Unit pages that get found

    Specs, price, payment estimate and photos on pages written to show up for the model and the motor.

  4. Sell

    Leads at your desk

    Quote, trade value, financing and viewing requests, plus service and parts.

You approve any connection inside Lightspeed, and we work through the integration your website platform already supports. We are not an official Lightspeed partner and we never ask for access we don’t need.

What a boat and powersports dealer website needs

Nine things we build or fix for every dealer, and what each one does for sales. We handle the website, the SEO and the ads.

  • Every unit on its own page

    Year, make, model, length and motor in the title, so a search for a specific outboard lands on the one you have. One dealer’s in-stock outboard page ranks #1 for its model.

  • Inventory synced from Lightspeed

    New and used units, prices and photos flow from Lightspeed through your website platform, so the site matches the lot without retyping.

  • Comparison pages

    Mercury or Yamaha. Bay boat or bass boat. The questions buyers ask before they call, answered on your site. A brand-vs-brand outboard comparison is one of our #1 rankings.

  • A page for every brand you carry

    One page per brand and model line, written for the buyer who already knows what they want and is choosing where to buy it.

  • Payments and trade-ins on unit pages

    A monthly payment estimate, a trade-in value request and a financing link on every unit page, so the first contact is a real lead.

  • Service, storage and parts

    12,100 searches a month for boat repair near me and 27,800 for boat storage near me. Your service lane and storage lot deserve their own pages.

  • Pages for your lakes and towns

    Boats for sale near me gets 27,100 searches a month. Pages for the lakes, rivers and towns you serve help you show up for them.

  • Show and spring launch campaigns

    Searches for a boat dealer near me hold near 40,500 a month from December to April. Google and Meta ads go live before show season, not during it.

  • Powersports on the same site

    Side by side for sale gets 27,100 searches a month. ATV, UTV and PWC lines get the same unit pages, comparisons and seasonal campaigns.

An independent boat dealer

Fishing boats and outboards. We built the content buyers read before they call:

  • Buyer guides on outboards and the boat types they sell
  • Head-to-head comparisons of outboard brands
  • Pages on the outboard brands they carry
  • Unit pages written to rank for the exact model and motor

A year with IGNITE, planned around the water

  1. Fall

    Audit and fix

    October and November, while the lot slows down. We check which units, brands and service pages Google can see, confirm the Lightspeed sync through your platform, and fix unit page templates, titles and photos.

  2. Winter

    Show season

    December through February. Comparison and brand pages go live, and Google and Meta campaigns run around the boat shows you attend, when searches for a boat dealer near me are at their peak.

  3. Spring

    Launch

    March through May. Service, storage pickup and new-arrival pages, plus campaigns that put in-stock units in front of buyers who want to be on the water by Memorial Day.

  4. Summer

    Used units and service

    June through September. Trade-ins and used inventory get the push, and service and storage pages fill the shop and the lot for fall. Every month ends with a report on leads.

Questions dealers ask

Rather talk it through? Call 440-490-6280.

Do I have to leave Dealer Spike or my current website company?

No. We can work inside the platform you have, improving unit pages, content and local pages, or build you a new site if you want to switch.

Are you a Lightspeed partner?

We are not an official Lightspeed partner. We connect through the Lightspeed integration your website platform already offers, or through Lightspeed’s third-party access, which you approve inside Lightspeed.

Do you work with powersports dealers too?

Yes. ATV, UTV and side-by-side, PWC and small-engine dealers on Lightspeed follow the same playbook, and their buyers follow the same winter and spring search curve.

What kinds of dealers do you work with?

Fishing, pontoon, bay and offshore boat dealers, marinas that sell, service and store boats, and powersports dealers selling ATVs, UTVs, side-by-sides and personal watercraft. If your units live in Lightspeed and your buyers search on Google, the playbook fits.

How do you measure results?

By leads, every month: calls, quote and trade-in requests, financing applications and service bookings, broken out by source. We also report rankings and traffic for the units, brands and towns that matter to you.

What does it cost?

Every dealership is quoted on a call, based on your platform, how many units and brands you carry and whether you want SEO, ads or a new site.

How soon will we see results?

Ads can bring leads in weeks. SEO builds over months, which is why we start before show season rather than during it.

Can you help with service and parts?

Yes. Service, repair, storage and parts pages are some of the easiest wins, because buyers search for them locally all year.

Do you work with ARI and other dealer website platforms?

Yes. Dealer Spike and ARI both connect to Lightspeed for unit inventory. We work inside those platforms on unit pages, content and local pages, or build you a site if you want more control.

Will you write the content?

Yes. We write the comparison, brand, service and town pages, working from your team’s knowledge of the units and the water you serve.

Can you run ads around boat shows?

Yes. We plan Google and Meta campaigns around the shows you attend and the spring launch, and send every lead to your sales desk.
