A complete search plan for Faraway Yachting

Your visits from Google fell from about 355 a month in March 2026 to about 58 in November. You have 634 Google reviews at 5.0, six times as many as Yacht Charters Co., yet Yacht Charters Co. is 1st on Google for “yacht charter phuket” and you’re not in the top 10. Your Google profile has no phone number either. This plan shows how to fix all three.

Best in each column is starred. A dash means we found no figure. Yacht Charters Co. runs two sites, yacht-charters-phuket.com and yacht-rental-phuket.com, counted together. Review counts are the Google counts Phuket Rating published on 10 October 2026. Searches, visits and AI citations checked 9 to 10 November 2026; phone speeds measured on 10 November 2026 on a simulated mid-range phone with fast 4G.

The plan

  • Add your phone number to your Google profile.
  • Write a catamaran page and retitle your main pages for the searches travellers use.
  • Fix the guest numbers on 352 yacht pages and the duplicate translated pages.
  • Get listed on the Phuket sites that link to your competitors.

7 of the 57 tasks need you to act, and 18 more need your OK before they go live. We do the rest, once you give us access to your website and Google profile. A person checks everything AI writes before you see it.

Your Google profile has no phone number

Anyone who finds you on Google’s map can’t call you from it. Nearly every other charter firm on the map shows a number. You’re in the top 3 on Google’s map for 5 of the 8 searches we checked, so this quick fix reaches people who already see you.

One company holds the top spot with two websites

Yacht Charters Co. is its two sites added together. Checked 10 November 2026.

No catamaran page

Competitors rank for searches like “private boat charter phuket” and “yacht hire phuket” with a page written for each one. You have no catamaran charter page at all, though Google’s map puts you 1st for “catamaran charter phuket”.

Your review page

It mentions “exclusive discounts and referral commissions” next to the request for a review. Google’s rules don’t allow discounts in return for reviews, and Google can act against the profile. Keep the discounts on a page of their own, and the fix is one page.

Google can’t tell from your code that you’re a charter company

None of your pages tells Google in code that you’re a charter company, where you are or what a charter costs. Blue Voyage and private-yacht.com do. The one business block on your site links to farawayyachting.com, a domain for sale.

Your site is fast

Your main pages load in about 1.4 seconds on a phone, faster than every competitor we tested. The problems are elsewhere: 352 yacht page descriptions give impossible guest counts, and every translated page is online at two addresses.
