Running a local business?

Get Found When Your Customers Are Actually Searching

Right now, your ideal customers are searching Google for exactly what you offer. The question is: are they finding YOU or calling your competitors instead?

If you're not on the first page when locals search for your services, you're handing qualified leads to businesses that might not even be as good as yours. Every day you're invisible on Google is another day of lost revenue.

Look, having word-of-mouth is fantastic, but it’s unpredictable.

You can't control when they come or how many you'll get.

Adding Google as your second marketing channel changes everything. Instead of hoping for referrals, you get a steady stream of customers actively looking for your services.

Imagine having so many qualified leads that you can:

✅ Pick and choose the best jobs

✅ Book work weeks or months in advance

✅ Confidently charge what you want to charge

✅ Grow your business on YOUR terms

That's what happens when locals find you first on Google.

What Is Local SEO? (And Why Your Business Needs It)

Think about the last time you needed a plumber, new cafe, or any service. What did you do? You probably grabbed your phone and searched "plumber near me" or “accountant Gold Coast” on Google, right?

That's exactly what your potential customers are doing right now. Every day, thousands of Gold Coast locals are searching for businesses just like yours. The question is: are they finding YOU or your competitors?

Our job is making sure YOUR business shows up first when people search for your services on Google. It's not complicated - it's about being visible when customers need you most.

Here's the problem most Gold Coast businesses face:

❌ They don’t have a website

❌ They have a website but don't show up when locals search

❌ Their Google listing is incomplete or buried on page 2

❌ Competitors with worse services are getting all the calls because they appear first

❌ They're relying on word-of-mouth while missing hundreds of ready-to-buy customers searching online

Hi, I'm Hunter

Your Local Web Guy

(the passionate marketer behind Performance Websites)

Before focusing solely on websites, I spent 6+ years managing all things marketing for many local businesses - so I know what actually drives sales and how to plug-n-play that into your unique business.

How I do things differently:

☕️ I'm local - we can grab coffee and chat about your business (though most clients prefer a phone or video call!)

💸 I focus on results, not just pretty designs

🧑🏻‍💻 I build websites on platforms you can actually use

📞 I'm always available when you need help

✅ I always try to go above and beyond for my clients (no surprise quotes)

My philosophy is simple: Your website should help you generate more work beyond word of mouth and it should look clean and be easy to understand to anyone.

    Why it takes time: Google needs to trust you're a legitimate local business. We build this trust systematically, but it can't be rushed.

  • This is actually great news. It means there's proven demand for your services in your area. Here's how we beat established competitors:

    We find their weak spots:

    • Keywords they're not targeting but should be

    • Suburbs they're neglecting

    • Review vulnerabilities (low rating/review count)

    • Technical SEO gaps in their websites

    We out-execute them:

    • More consistent Google My Business posting

    • Better review generation systems

    • Superior local content creation

    • Stronger local link building

  • We use data, not guesswork:

    Step 1: Search Volume Analysis

    • Find keywords with 100+ monthly local searches

    • Identify seasonal trends (higher volume months)

    • Spot opportunity keywords competitors miss

    Step 2: Conversion Potential

    • "Emergency" keywords = higher conversion (emergency plumber)

    • "Near me" searches = ready to buy now

    • Suburb-specific terms = local intent

    Step 3: Competition Assessment

    • Target winnable battles first (easier keywords)

    • Build authority before attacking competitive terms

    • Find gaps in competitor keyword coverage

  • We've worked with 18+ different industry types on the Gold Coast:

    Trades: Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, handymen, painters, tilers, carpenters

    Professional Services: Lawyers, accountants, finance brokers

    Health & Beauty: Teeth whitening, dentists, massage therapists, beauty salons, personal trainers

    Home Services: Cleaners, pest control, pressure washers

    The fundamentals are the same across all industries:

    1. Google needs to trust you're a legitimate local business

    2. You need more positive reviews than competitors

    3. Your Google My Business needs to be more complete and active

    4. You need to rank for the keywords your customers actually search

    If we haven't worked in your exact industry, I spend the first week researching your market, competitors, and keyword opportunities. You get the benefit of fresh eyes and proven local SEO systems.

  • I get it. Local SEO is an investment, not an expense, but cash flow is real.

    If budget is an issue we have setup (one-time) and lower tier packages to suit where you are at. Then we can explore larger more competitive packages when you start to grow.
