Webwise Digital

Your business has grown over the last few years, but your website still feels like an older version of what you do. It doesn't reflect the quality of your business or connect with the right people.

As we head towards EOFY, I’m opening up 𝟮 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 website refresh projects for established local service businesses.

Webwise Boost includes:
• all website copy written for you
• strong SEO foundations
• mobile-friendly design
• personal support throughout the process

Projects are typically under $5,000 AUD for up to 10 core pages.

This is best suited to business owners who want one local point of contact to manage the project, so they don't have to coordinate everything themselves.

Let's not over-complicate things... as a 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, you don’t need to be everywhere online, but you do need to get the foundations right.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲. It should clearly show who you help, what you do, and how to contact you.

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲. This is how people find you - and your reviews will help to build that initial trust.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱, 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 - like LinkedIn or Facebook - so people can see your work, get to know you, and feel confident choosing you.

💡 When these three work together, your business is much easier to find, choose and trust.

Get in touch if you are not sure if you've got the basics right.

When you search Google for an answer, there is a 65% chance you will find it in the AI overview. You only click through when you need more detail.

Who provides your service? Who are you? Are you real? Are you local? Are you legitimate and trustworthy?

AI can explain tax deductions in seconds. What people really want to know is: “Can this accountant help someone like me?”

A new website for People to Go 🚐

𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼 is a new Brisbane-based social impact charter service created by Prison Transport Group Inc.

If you are a group of people who need a bus and a driver in and around Brisbane, this is for you. Driving universities, corporates, charities, community organisations and your event.

What makes this project special is the purpose behind it. Every booking helps support the work of Prison Transport Group, a Queensland charity that has been helping families stay connected for nearly 50 years.

It was a pleasure helping bring this new venture online

A Fresh Chapter for A page or two Bookshop 📚

A Page or Two Bookshop, a much-loved independent bookshop in Corinda that has been serving Brisbane’s book lovers for over 27 years has a new website!

They specialise in rare, collectible and hard-to-find books, including first editions, signed copies and beautiful Folio Society editions. Their shelves are always changing, with everything from recent releases to out-of-print treasures - and if they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’ll help you find it.

If you’re a reader, collector or simply love the feel of a real bookshop, they’re well worth a visit (in-store or online).

It’s been a pleasure helping showcase such a respected, community-focused Brisbane business online.

🚩 A tip for you if you’re choosing someone to build your website…

Before you commit, make sure your designer has taken the time to:

• Ask you what you want your business to be found for in Google
• Explain how your pages will be structured for SEO
• Talk through the keywords your services should target
• Discuss your Google Business Profile and how it connects to your site
• Set up (or plan to set up) Google Search Console for you
• Consider search visibility as part of your build

Your website can look beautiful and not be found - a hidden Gem 💎.

If SEO isn’t part of your foundation, you may end up revisiting it later. This means more time, more cost, and a delay in becoming visible.

A well-built website should do two things: reflect your business clearly and help the right people find you.

🚨 Quick WordPress security tip for business owners:
If your WordPress username is 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙣, please change it.

It’s one of the most common default usernames - and the first one bots and hackers try. Even if you have a strong password, using admin makes your website an easier target than it needs to be.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀?
This is a simple fix that can noticeably improve your website security.

Small changes like this add up, especially when you’re running a business, and you want fewer website headaches.

I'm so grateful for kind words like this from Breanna at Vasile Property Group 💛

Working with Breanna was very rewarding. She’s built a beautiful boutique business, and it is important that her website reflects who she is and how she works.

Thank you for trusting me with your business and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.
