The business context
Support the journey from finding a service to confirming a trip.
A water taxi customer needs clear service information and a way to provide trip details. Behind that enquiry, the team needs to prepare pricing, collect authorization, record payment and issue the travel confirmation. My role covered both the website’s search presence and the tools supporting those operational steps.
Booking details and team handoffs
Structured booking records support passenger details, flight information, outbound and return arrangements, pricing and confirmation.
Live systems and delivered work
Custom development around the operating process.
The water taxi Make workflow, QuickBooks integration and Evervault authorization forms are live. Custom WordPress plugins connect the website with the booking process and supporting records.
Search architecture and content
Work covered service-page structure, metadata, contextual internal links, content production, indexing review and technical performance improvements.
Custom booking and quote tools
One-way and round-trip details feed a workflow with quote and confirmation tools. Pricing supports per-person and fixed-rate options, applicable fees and separate cash land-taxi costs.
Make and Google Sheets
A webhook-driven workflow passes booking information into Make. Entry ID matching determines whether to update an existing sheet row or add a new booking record.
QuickBooks Online integration
The live integration connects booking data with the configured customer and sales-receipt workflow in QuickBooks Online.
Evervault-connected forms
Custom authorization forms integrate with Evervault for card-data handling and connect the authorization step with booking operations. The team retains responsibility for manually charging the payment.
System documentation
The handover documents the custom code, integrations, operational responsibilities and next development stages so another technical lead can maintain and extend the system.

Booking workflow
From enquiry to confirmation, with clear team decisions.
The process connects the booking stages while preserving the team’s review of pricing and payment. The Make scenario supports the records and accounting handoffs configured for the workflow.
- 01
Enquiry
Collect contact details, passenger numbers and trip arrangements.
- 02
Quote
Prepare and review the price for the requested travel.
- 03
Authorization
Complete the relevant card-authorization step.
- 04
Manual charge
The team processes payment and records the payment details.
- 05
Confirmation
Issue the booking’s travel and payment information.
Submitting an enquiry does not automatically charge a card. The booking tools support the team’s authorization, payment and confirmation process.
SEO evidence · October 15, 2026
A dated view of the domain’s search footprint.
The supplied Semrush desktop Domain Overview for islandtimebvi.com, with Worldwide selected, reports the following rounded figures.
1.4KReported organic keywords
7.2KReported backlinks
2.1KReported referring domains
Additional snapshot figures: estimated organic traffic 1.8K; Authority Score 23; AI Visibility 16; 23 reported AI mentions; 39 reported cited pages. These are Semrush metrics, with coverage and definitions determined by the tool. Estimated traffic is not a measured GA4 session total, and backlink counts describe the observed domain profile rather than links individually attributed to this project.
The historical chart shows a larger search footprint from 2025 than in earlier periods, with fluctuations after the increase. The current snapshot also displays downward comparison indicators for estimated organic traffic and keyword count; the comparison period is not visible. This evidence supports a dated view of visibility, rather than a fixed growth percentage or a claim that performance rises every month.
Custom WordPress engineering
Purpose-built modules behind the workflow.
The supplied WordPress plugin screenshot shows active custom modules supporting several parts of the business. Each has a defined responsibility within the wider setup.
Boat charter booking
A custom booking module supporting boat rental and charter requests, with payment-integration capabilities.
Water taxi paperless booking
Booking, quote and confirmation tools with customer acceptance flows, office notifications and an optional email relay workflow.
WPForms water taxi bridge
A bridge that normalizes enquiry fields, creates water taxi booking records and triggers the configured Make and Google Sheets handoff.
Authorization and document modules
Dedicated authorization and passport-upload modules support additional customer-information steps. Operational access and account configuration remain part of the internal handover.
Implementation priorities
Keep the information useful across each handoff.
The work connects customer-facing forms, booking records and team tools. Consistent field mapping and pricing rules help each stage use the information it needs.
The SEO work supports discovery, while the custom development addresses the process behind the booking.
- Outbound and return arrangements represented separately.
- Per-person and fixed-rate pricing handled by the selected option.
- Fees accounted for without adding the same amount twice.
- Cash land-taxi costs distinguished from card charges.
- Record matching and integration mapping documented for maintenance.
The delivered foundation
Live integrations, with a separate development roadmap.
The booking workflow, QuickBooks integration and Evervault authorization forms are live, supported by custom plugins and documented handoffs. This case study describes those functions and the supplied search snapshot; it does not claim quantified time savings or revenue gains.
