Not sure how you're really doing online?
Most Crows Nest owners are too busy running the business to know. Three honest questions tell you almost everything.
When someone nearby searches, do you show up?
If competitors fill the map and you're nowhere, the customer never even knows you exist.
Does your website earn the call — or lose it?
Slow, dated or confusing, and people arrive, hesitate, and quietly leave for the next result.
Has anyone explained it in plain English?
You've been sold "SEO" before but nobody said what, why, or what it should actually cost.
If any of those gave you pause, that's exactly what a Findability Audit is for.

Straight answers about getting found in Crows Nest
Has the new Metro changed what Crows Nest businesses need online?
Definitely. The Metro brings more people, and more of them are deciding on the spot from their phone. That puts a premium on a complete Google Business Profile (photos, hours, reviews) and a fast mobile site. The opportunity is bigger, but so is the cost of being hard to find.
Do you work with hospitality and clinics on Willoughby Road?
Yes, cafés, restaurants, allied health, and service businesses along Willoughby Road and the surrounding streets are exactly the kind of local businesses I help. we set up the profile and site so you stand out in a strip where everyone's competing for the same nearby searches.
What actually is a Findability Audit?
It's a plain-English review of how your business shows up online — your website, your Google Business Profile, and where you land when someone nearby searches. You get a written action plan that says exactly what's worth fixing first, and a call to talk it through. Fixed price ($599), no obligation to continue afterwards.
Do websites and SEO get handled together?
Yes, that's the point. Every site we build is structured for local search from day one, so the website and getting found aren't two separate jobs bolted together later. They're built to work as one.
How much is Google Business Profile optimisation?
Google Business Profile optimisation is a $499 one-off service with no ongoing fees. We research your competitors, fix the gaps, publish your first posts, and set up a review system so the profile keeps working after handover.
