Websites built for Campbell River's fishing, forestry, and tourism economy.
North Island business, built by someone who works Vancouver Island end to end — not a call center.
Building for Campbell River, North Vancouver Island, BC
Campbell River calls itself the Salmon Capital of the World for a reason, and that pulls in a steady flow of sport-fishing tourism alongside the working economy of forestry, aquaculture, and marine trades that's been here far longer. It's also the jumping-off point for the Discovery Islands and northern Vancouver Island, which means a lot of local businesses are selling to visitors who found them from hundreds of kilometres away, not just people driving past. A site here needs to do two jobs at once: read as a real, established local business to residents, and convert a stranger booking a trip from three time zones away.

Why work with someone local
I'm not based in Campbell River, but the fishing-and-tourism economy driving it isn't a foreign concept — Ucluelet and Tofino run on the same seasonal, booking-dependent pattern. Consultations run over video, and revisions happen over email, so distance doesn't slow the project down; what matters is building a site that understands how a Campbell River business actually gets found by someone planning a trip from somewhere else.
Campbell River questions
Yes — that's what the Growth tier is for. The starting price covers the website plus one customer-facing tool, so a booking or quote-request form built around how you actually take charters fits. Taking deposits means handling payments, which is quoted separately.
Yes, that's the normal case here — the site is built around a stranger deciding whether to book, not just local search, so photography, load speed, and a clear booking path matter more than they would for a strictly local storefront.
Yes. Every site ships with an SEO-ready foundation, and Acuity Local SEO is available on top of it as an ongoing service on any website — at the Starter level a monthly review of your Google Business Profile and your site with exactly what to change, and hands-on changes and keyword research at the higher levels — from $149/month on a 3-month initial commitment. No one can guarantee rankings, and SEO is an ongoing process rather than a one-time switch, but for a business here that's mostly found by visitors planning a trip from somewhere else, the ongoing work covers those searches too, not just "Campbell River" on its own.
