Case
Tropikal Rentals Curaçao
A strong story that was measured nowhere
Car rental, Curaçao
In short
The front end is in order: the promise is immediately clear and the route to an enquiry is short. What belongs underneath is missing entirely, which leaves no way to see what visibility returns.

The situation
Tropikal Rentals rents cars on Curaçao to travellers who plan their holiday weeks ahead, most of them from the Netherlands. That search starts online, and increasingly with an AI being asked for a recommendation rather than with a list of search results.
The site itself holds up well. The title says in fifty characters what the business does and where, there is one clear main heading, and there is a working form on the home page. That is exactly why the conversion path scores high: someone who is convinced can act straight away.
Underneath that there is nothing. No analytics, no ad pixel, no sitemap, no robots.txt and no structured data. Every euro spent on visibility disappears into the dark, and an AI model that wants to know what kind of business this is and where it sits has to infer it from running text.

The Target column is where we want to stand within ninety days. That is a target we set ourselves, not a promise and not a measured outcome.

What we steer on
The biggest gain here is not in the site itself but in what is missing underneath it: measurement and visibility in AI. The story is already there, and that saves a phase.
What we report on
These are the figures we will show, with the point we started from beside them. Results go here once they are measured and the client is happy to show them.

Priorities
In order of leverage. The Impact column is our assessment up front, based on how far an area sits below target and how much work it takes to close.
| Nr | Action | Why now | Impact | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Set up measurement | Without measurement every next spend is a guess, and afterwards there is no way to say what it returned. | Hoog | Week 1 |
| 02 | Technical foundation: sitemap, robots.txt and canonical | This is what crawlers need to find every page. Right now they have to infer it from links. | Hoog | Week 1 to 2 |
| 03 | Structured data for a local rental business | So Google and AI models know what kind of business this is, where it sits and what it rents. | Hoog | Week 2 to 3 |
| 04 | Make proof visible: reviews, address and registration | Someone booking ahead from the Netherlands with an unfamiliar company on an island wants to know who they are dealing with. | Midden | Week 3 to 6 |
| 05 | Content around the questions travellers ask beforehand | This is the layer AI models quote from when someone asks where to rent a car on Curaçao. | Midden | Ongoing |
