Our History

Back in 1993...

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 The problem was, the information was often out of date and unreliable.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.

More than 25+ years later...

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 are 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 Google Premier Partner badge.

It’s all to help you, just as we have for 25 years—only now, it’s with your digital marketing.

The experts in small-business development are on your side.

Our people

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 clients. When you contact our head office, you come through to one of our friendly team here in Queensland. If a digital marketing specialist 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 search engine gurus, designers, copywriters and digital experts—so ours are here for you. Our people are your people. All you have to do is ask.
