Local services
Be the local business people find and choose
For shopfronts, salons, clubs and service businesses that live and die on being easy to find and easy to book. A professional site, online bookings and local search, all handled for you.
A local service business runs on being found and being trusted. Someone new moves to town, or a regular wants your hours, or a visitor is looking for exactly what you do. In every case, they reach for their phone first.
What local businesses need online
The reality is that your next customer is almost always searching before they show up. They want to know what you do, whether you are open, roughly what it costs, and how to book or find you. If that is all easy to find on a good-looking site, you win the customer. If it is buried on a clunky page or a Facebook profile that has not been touched in a year, you lose them to whoever made it easier.
For a lot of the local businesses we build for, the thing that makes the most difference is online booking. People are far more likely to lock in an appointment the moment they decide, rather than waiting to phone during business hours and possibly changing their mind. Add automatic reminders and you cut no-shows without lifting a finger. It is the kind of quiet improvement that pays for the whole site over time.
Then there is local search. When someone types your service and your town into Google, being the first professional result they find is worth a great deal. We build your site so search engines understand exactly where you are and what you offer, and set you up to compete for that top spot.
Why a local partner helps
We are a local business too, in Emerald. We know that a shop owner or sole operator does not have time to become a web expert. So we take the whole thing off your plate: build it, launch it, and look after it, with a real person to call when something needs changing. Simple, and it stays simple.

Common questions
Local business, answered
People already know us in town. Why bother with a website?
Because the people who do not know you yet are searching online, and because even locals check your hours, your services and your prices on their phone. A good website is how a new customer in town, or a visitor passing through, decides to choose you.
Can customers book or pay online?
Yes. For a lot of local service businesses, online booking is the single most useful thing we add. People book when it suits them, even after hours, you get fewer no-shows with automatic reminders, and you spend less time on the phone.
Will it help me show up on Google?
That is a big part of it. When someone searches for what you do in your town, we want you to be who they find. We build your site so Google understands where you are and what you offer, and set you up properly for local search.
I am not techy at all. Is it hard to look after?
Not for you. We host it, keep it secure and handle the changes. When you need something updated you call or message me and it is done. You never have to wrestle with the website yourself.
