Digital Marketing at the Lake of the Ozarks
Looking for a marketing agency for a Lake of the Ozarks business? Here is what we have actually done at the lake: a new website and a rebuilt Google Business Profile for Xclusive Transport, a boat and auto transport company in Eldon.
Xclusive Transport, Eldon
Xclusive Transport hauls boats and vehicles out of Eldon, from the Lake of the Ozarks to anywhere in the country. Owner-driver Aaron had no real website until August 2026: the domain pointed to a Facebook page.
We built a 24-page WordPress site with a page for each service, guides for boat owners, and pages for the lake and for long-distance hauls, and launched it on August 18, 2026, with their own truck photos instead of stock images. We rebuilt the Google Business Profile from 0 listed services to 81 and from 8 service areas to 17, answered every review, and connected analytics, Search Console and lead emails.
In its first six weeks, the new site averaged position 4.3 on Google for "boat transport lake of the ozarks" (Search Console; the search volume is small, so we state the position, not the traffic). We work with Xclusive remotely from Jacksonville, Illinois.

Lake businesses sell to two groups at once: people who live around the lake all year and visitors who find them on a phone. That makes the Google Business Profile and a fast mobile website the first things to get right, with every service written out in plain language.
The setup we built for Xclusive, a page for each service, search markup, analytics and lead emails that reach the owner, works the same way for marinas, contractors, rentals and other lake businesses.
