Our History

Paving the way for regional business...

Back in 1993...

Before Google, Facebook and today’s technology, the phone directory was how locals connected with businesses. Unfortunately, the big guys running these directories forgot our regional communities, leading to information often being outdated and unreliable. And then, four mates in Rockhampton put together and created the answer — Localsearch.

Today...

Businesses cannot survive without being online. But with so many options, knowing where to be online and how to be seen, trusted and connected with locals can feel like an endlessly stressful task. As we’ve done for so many years, Localsearch makes growing your online presence damn easy with cost-effective digital marketing solutions.

The Local Difference

The local in Localsearch is not just for name’s sake. While many things have changed since our beginnings in 1993, one thing certainly has not — ensuring our people are local and passionate about helping Aussie businesses.

Working with Localsearch means you partner with a local Digital Marketing Specialist. When you call our head office, you speak to our team here in Queensland. Even our IT and support crew are on the beautiful Gold Coast. This will never change.

We’re real people helping real people. In our TV commercials, you see real Australian business owners we help. On our social media, you’ll see the faces of our team.

It’s one of the many reasons why 28,000+ Australian businesses trust Localsearch with their online presence.
