Business. Insight. Growth.

Recently, national digital marketing service Localsearch, and online search giant Google Australia, joined forces to host a first-of-its-kind Google event in Mackay and Rockhampton. The events covered digital marketing and future-proofing small businesses.

When it comes to hiring a new employee or outsourcing your marketing to an agency, outsourcing is more cost-effective for a number of reasons. When you engage a marketing agency, you get a fully equipped team for less than the cost of one qualified on-staff marketing professional.

A huge focus on contributing and supporting the community has seen Localsearch partner with the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys in a multi-year deal. Becoming a Gold Sponsor and naming rights partner of the Laurie Spina Shield, the club’s flagship junior rugby league carnival held on 20-21 July in Townsville, was an easy decision according to Localsearch Co-Founder Daniel Stoten.

As a business, you only have a few seconds to grab the attention of a potential customer. In most marketing spaces, this an entirely visual exercise. When your business advertising is displayed right next to your competitors’, you need some way of conveying your brand’s personality, meaning and value instantly. This is where your logo, website, product packaging and other advertisements come in.

Further cementing their passion for Aussie sports, Localsearch has forged a new partnership with Surfing Australia to help young surfers establish their careers in the sport they love. The partnership will see Localsearch take naming rights to one of Surfing Australia’s most prominent programs.
