Our History
Before smartphones and social media, Aussies turned to the trusty phone directory to find businesses. The problem was, the information was often out of date and unreliable. Not only did the readers of the directories need a solution, so did the businesses in the area. Wanting to help, four mates from Rockhampton put their heads together and created an answer—Localsearch.
We are still providing marketing solutions—only this time, it’s in the digital world. If you’ve even considered getting your business online in any way, you know it’s chaos. There’s websites, listings, social media, search engine marketing and optimisation, SMS and email marketing, video ads, blogs…and the list just keeps getting bigger.
When we stepped into the arena to market our own services, we realised how messy it really was. All around us were businesses struggling to even break into the digital world. So, we decided it was time to bring calm to the chaos. Our team grew to include the experts in web, SEO, SEM, social media, copywriting, IT and other areas, we built our own platforms and most recently, we earned our Premier Google Partner badge.
It’s all to help you, just as we have for 25 years—only now, it’s with your digital marketing.
Throughout the years, even as we’ve expanded to more than 250 employees, we’ve ensured our people stayed local and passionate about helping our customers. When you contact our head office, you come through to one of our friendly team here on the Gold Coast. If a rep comes and visits you, they’re from your local area. Even our IT and support teams are right here at our Localsearch HQ. This will never change.
We know not every business can hire their own SEO and SEM gurus, website designers and developers, digital imagers, copywriters and experts in all things digital—so ours are here for you. Our people are your people. All you have to do is ask.
We’re real people and we act like it. No scripts, foreign call centres and definitely no pushy consultants. Just honest, friendly and reliable people. It’s all part of our mission to provide the absolute best experience every time you call, email or see us.
Extraordinary customer experience—everything we do comes back to it. We’ve selected each member of our team—both head office and consultants—for their passion for helping small businesses be seen, trusted and connected. Every time you use our business and digital marketing tools, check on your website, talk to any of our IT and support teams, or even from the first time you lodge an enquiry, you’ll feel our dedication for helping you take your business to the next level.
You run the business you do because you’re the expert in your industry—as we are ours. Stop wasting time running in circles with your digital marketing and find out how easy, affordable and effective it can really be.
