A trip that starts on a search page and ends at an Old Town dock
Float and ski planes have flown out of Old Town since its first permanent float base opened in 1946, carrying anglers and freight to lodges and camps across the Northwest Territories. Today a fly-in week usually begins with someone typing yellowknife float plane fly in or yellowknife fishing lodges on a phone in another province or overseas.
Google’s suggestions for “yellowknife float plane” include are float planes safe and how far can a float plane fly. A page naming the aircraft you fly and the distances you cover answers them.
Guides and charter boats also serve people wanting a day on Great Slave Lake, the deepest lake in North America. Price comes up early, as in yellowknife fishing charters prices, and so do licences, which a short page can cover before linking to the official source.
- 614 m depth of Great Slave Lake, the deepest in North America
- 1946 first permanent float base built in Old Town
- 2,720 NWT visitors who travelled mainly to fish in 2024-25

Urgent
A short-notice winter plan. Machines, rates and pick-up details must read well on a phone.
Guests book months out, so pages need to be ready early
A fly-in lodge is often booked the winter before, a summer charter in spring. New pages take weeks to be crawled and trusted, so we publish next season’s rates, dates and destinations while this season is still running, then revise those same pages each year instead of starting over.
Common gaps
Where fly-in and fishing sites lose the booking
What we see on outfitter, lodge and charter sites.
-
01
The flight is a mystery
Guests want to know the aircraft, the baggage limit and roughly how long they will be in the air. Without that, a cautious traveller hesitates.
-
02
Every trip squeezed onto one page
Lodge stays, day charters, sightseeing flights and rentals match different searches. One long page rarely ranks for any of them.
-
03
No season beside the rates
A reader in February cannot tell whether the dates shown are this year’s or last year’s. Put the season next to every price.
-
04
Booking only by phone, in office hours
Distant guests plan in their own evening. An enquiry form with a stated reply time catches them while they are keen.
The work
What we do for lodges, guides and air charters
An aircraft and planning page
Plain answers on the planes you fly, baggage and weather holds.
A profile pinned at the dock
A pin where guests meet you, seasonal hours and photos from your own trips.
Trip-planning articles
Short guides on when to come and what to pack, each linked to the matching trip page.
Reviews after each season
A note to guests once home, asking them to describe the trip.
Ads for booking season
Pro-plan Google Ads switched on while guests choose trips and off once you are full. Google bills ad spend separately.
Done carefully
Promise the trip, never the catch or the weather
Each profession answers to its own rules. Here is how we keep this kind of marketing inside them.
The lake and the sky decide some days, so the copy admits it.
Guided operators in the territory need a Tourism Operator Licence from GNWT Industry, Tourism and Investment, and commercial air operators answer to Transport Canada. We state your licences accurately, and under the Competition Act we skip borrowed photos and catch figures you cannot support.

Questions
Questions from operators, lodges and guides
Our guests come from far away. Can local SEO reach them?
Yes. Google matches a search about Yellowknife to businesses that clearly operate here, wherever the searcher is. If you have translated text, we can build a multilingual page structure for it; we do not translate.
Should a fly-in lodge publish prices?
Where you can. A dated rate or a “from” figure screens out enquiries that were never going to book, and custom charters can stay on a quote basis.
Do we need different pages for winter?
If you sell anything in winter, such as snowmobile rentals, yes. Winter searches use different words, and a summer fishing page will not match them.
Can you write about licences and fishing regulations?
yellowknife fishing license and yellowknife fishing regulations are real searches, so a short page pointing to the official territorial sources helps. We say where the rules live rather than restating them.
How much does this cost?
Three monthly levels: $300 for Starter, $500 for Growth, $700 for Pro, charged in Canadian dollars and cancellable without a long lock-in. Only Pro bundles Google Ads management, and whatever you spend on clicks is settled with Google, not us. See pricing for each plan’s contents.
