Company Name : Templar Yacht Charters

Templar offers unforgettable charter experiences aboard their 84ft luxury yacht, cruising Auckland’s stunning Hauraki Gulf. But they needed a digital presence that reflected the same level of class, clarity, and ease that guests enjoy on the water.

SEO: Getting Found on Google

We didn’t just make the site look good, we made sure people could find it.

Our team executed a full Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy, including:

  • Keyword research for high-impact search terms

  • On-page optimization (titles, headings, meta descriptions, image tags)

  • Local SEO for visibility in Auckland-based searches

  • Mobile-first speed and usability improvements

Result?
Templar started ranking for terms like luxury yacht charter Auckland and Auckland boat hire, generating real traffic and real bookings. Since then, their list of positive reviews began consistently growing as they began getting increasingly more bookings.

Ongoing Support & Evolving the Experience

A great site shouldn’t stay static, and with Templar, it hasn’t.

We continue to support their team by keeping the website up to date and responsive to their growing business. As they’ve refined their charter offerings and received more customer engagement, we’ve:

  • Updated Package Details
    As Templar refined their service structure, we adjusted the website content to reflect clearer pricing, refined cruise options, and seasonal offerings.
  • Improved Pricing Transparency
    We worked with the owners to structure and display pricing in a way that’s easy to understand—reducing inquiry friction and improving conversion.
  • Expanded the Gallery
    As customers shared beautiful photos from their trips, we curated and uploaded them to the site—keeping the gallery fresh, authentic, and more compelling with each update.
  • Added Cruise Route Suggestions
    As new cruise routes were tested and refined, we helped present them on the site in a user-friendly way, helping customers better plan their ideal outing.

Through ongoing support and regular updates, we’ve ensured the Templar site continues to reflect the high-end service they provide—growing with them, not just sitting on the web.

The Outcome

Templar’s new website is more than a digital brochure—it’s a conversion tool. It gives customers a taste of the experience before they even step aboard.
And thanks to smart SEO, it’s being seen by the right people at the right time.
