Working with Dave
- Which areas does Dave cover?
- Dave Barr looks after businesses on the Sunshine Coast, including Maroochydore, Caloundra, Noosa, Mooloolaba, Buderim, Nambour and the surrounding region. Visits are in person where it's practical, and over video where that's easier for you.
- What happens in a strategy session with Dave?
- It's a free, no-obligation conversation, usually 30 to 45 minutes, online or in person. Dave reviews how your business currently shows up in Google search, Maps and on your own website, compares that with other businesses competing for the same Sunshine Coast customers, and gives you a plain-English plan of what to fix first. There's no requirement to buy anything.
- What kinds of businesses does Dave work with?
- Local, owner-run businesses across trades and construction, health and beauty, automotive, retail, hospitality and professional services. Localsearch has worked with Australian small businesses since 1993, and Dave handles Sunshine Coast accounts directly rather than passing them to a call centre.
