As I had only 18 months ago separated my old business Angry Ant to Get Leads this left me feeling a little nervous but in truth customers preference for someone local while it's there for "new" customers if you have a relationship of trust established already then they are usually happy to keep with you and so I've actually not lost any customers as a result of moving to Far North Queensland working in Digital Marketing. For those of you who know nothing about me or Get Leads, I have 160+ customers and have been working in digital marketing for over 20 years. I've worked on project for global companies and I also have a background in defence, government and tourism. What is precedence? Simply a term that means giving priority or preference to your online business compared to your competition. There's of course many factors in this not just a nice design or even for that matter onsite type. Best practice is a part of it, performance and everything else that leads to good SEO practices. That's why I've titled the post with an SEO flavour. Location page strategy to give a site priority This post however is all about the precedence that Google puts on website rankings for keywords you may wish to target.

But how much does a good one cost? Emphasis on "good" in this article as there's so much crap out there it's hard if not impossible to compare apples and apples. At Get Leads AU, we often get asked this question, and the answer is: it depends. Just like every business is different, every website has unique goals, content needs, and functionality requirements. So let’s break down what goes into pricing a site and why the cheapest option isn’t always the most cost-effective. What Impacts the Price of a Website? The cost of a website can vary significantly depending on several key factors: Design Complexity – Do you need a bespoke design tailored to your brand, or is a modified template sufficient? Number of Pages – More pages mean more design and development time. Functionality – Features like booking systems, e-commerce, member portals, or complex forms increase complexity. Content Creation – Will you supply all the content, or do you need copywriting, imagery, or SEO support? Ongoing Maintenance – Who will manage your website after it launches? As a general guide, here’s what you might expect: Website TypeEstimated CostBasic Brochure Site$3,500 – $7,000Mid-Range Business Site$7,000 – $15,000Custom / E-commerce Site$15,000+ For larger, custom-built solutions with complex integrations, budgets can range into the five or even six figures. Why “Cheap” Can Get... --- - Published: 2025-04-13 - Modified: 2025-04-13 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/google-algorithm-is-broken/ - Categories: Search Engine Optimisation - Tags: SEO Authority from backlinks over prioritises poor operators I've spent a lot of time looking into the black art of clean backlinks in order to increase keyword ranking and I've come to is a realisation that because backlinks are the most important part of getting authority this metric actually makes searching for some businesses not an ideal experience for searches. Before I begin let me know say the details below are based on my 20+ years in the industry experience it is tainted with subjectiveness. I've tried not to give priority to anyone in particular but to simply show some of the processes that are at work here to not give you the results you're really looking for. Take what you can from this, learn and test results yourself to get a full understanding. Backlinks are the King of Authority The SEO players are certainly making the most of the fact that backlinks are king and not necessarily relevant content. Some of you out there will argue that's not the case and "content is king". Sorry, not in 2025 and the backlink businesses are as dodgy as dodgy and very, very good at justifying in techno jargon why you need to pay monthly's to have you rank higher. Let's get to the main issue here backlink "juice" even old backlinks deliver higher authority for websites specifically benefiting older operators and NOT always providing the best choice for the searchers.

I was, I originally Googled "Web Design Cairns" and counted 20 different provider in the Cairns area and with 160,000 people that's still a considerable number of competitors. For many website customers making a fair comparison can be really confusing. What's the important factors to consider? Is it website architecture and hosting or is it their ability to make something look pretty. I'll try not to make that too obvious as I don't make a habit out of running down my competitors publicly. It's not a good look unless of course they deserve it. You, the business owner probably should care about one simple thing "results". Bonus: 13 Awesome questions to ask your Cairns Web Designer But it's not the whole story there are many different ingredients to consider as your site is not only an asset but a long term liability. Here's a a few that were relevant from the competition listed below and questions you can ask your next web design agency. Q. How much is a website? A. I would expect between $5k - $20k.

This is typically a problem for agencies that naturally work in this space with footer backlinks on their sites. We all make mistakes, and recently I had dropped my ranking from being first on Google against my competitors in the Wagga Web Design keyword to being in the fifth position. This occurred around October and November last year, and I was left scratching my head on what I'd done wrong. I thought maybe it was that I had a new root keyword Cairns Web Design it had figured out it needed to spread my authority between pages or something weird. Negative backlinks The idea that somebody put some negative backlinks against my site had popped into my head, but in doing some research, I don't think that's the case. Google algorithm update I thought maybe it was just due to a Google algorithm update and the fact that they'd changed things so that they pretty much ignored any of their authority in terms of the E-E-A-T type metrics. I actually don't believe in this metric at all. I think that it's just rumours and speculation put out there by Google trying to get website owners to create good content.

I hate to not being specific about who the "Telco" actually is but they have an army of lawyers and their brand is trademarked so I'm playing it safe with any advertising unlike some other agencies I've seen who are being far more specific to the point of taking screenshots and even and using the trademarked pink and blue logo.

March 2025 specifically is when I've actually arrived here for those of you interested. I still have lots and lots of lovely customers in Wagga and I don't intend on changing my servicing of these businesses anytime soon. COVID changed everything thankfully working remotely and I have so far had zero customers care that I'm not in Wagga. I am however blessed to have a well know local Graphic Designer Milla McGill in location meeting face to face where customers need that local trust. Thanks so much Milla if you're reading this you're doing an amazing job. This article isn't about the move so much as what it means for SEO when a business like mine picks up and moves location. Once ranking no. 1 for a location that is no longer the primary place of business. On moving to Cairns I quickly established a location page and readjusted some of my location keywords to do with web design. This of course smashed my ranking in Wagga from no. 1 to no. 3 and then we had some algorithm changes and an over optimisation penalty which pulled me down a few extras to 5.

However, to convert a website visitor into a new customer, you need to answer five simple questions. I'd like to raise this is a discussion point because I get so many customers that don't want to necessarily do this in a way that is clear for their customer. They ask for their website to be about them and not about the problem a customer is trying to solve. They get sucked into talking about themselves so much they forget about their customers problem or the why them. The first 3 below you should at least address in the hero area of the site and not just use the heading to display your business name. True, they need to know who you are but it should emphasis point number 3 as the most important. This is 100% customer focused and why they will contact you. The rest of these points can be left to the content strategy of the site and even prioritised according to your customer type. Who are you? What do you do? How can you help me? Can I trust you? How do I get in touch? Every time new visitors reach your website, they’re essentially interviewing your business. They must know the answers to these five simple questions to trust that you can help them. Visitors will leave and look elsewhere if your website fails to answer these questions. Sadly, that’s an easy way to send more... --- - Published: 2025-02-18 - Modified: 2025-02-19 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/how-does-your-website-compare-a-simple-checklist-for-small-businesses/ - Categories: Business, Search Engine Optimisation, Web Design - Tags: SEO, Web Designer Have you ever looked at a competitor’s website and wondered what they’re doing right?

SEO results timeframe In an ideal world, you’d receive a simple answer such as “three months” or “six months”. However, the reality is a little more nuanced.

You’ve spent months of time, energy, and investment getting your business website up and running. It looks great, and you’re excited to watch the leads and sales roll in. That's the goal right, to get leads and turn them into customers. But, when you check your website stats, you see something that worries you. People are visiting your website, but they’re leaving almost immediately. Your visitors aren’t buying, signing up, contacting you, or even taking a few minutes to explore your site. There's lots of website visitor metrics to look at here from Dwell time, bounce rate to traffic source. This isn’t just a scenario. It’s also a very real problem that many business owners face each day. They do all the hard work to put their best foot forward and showcase their business with a shiny new website. If visitors are abandoning your website, don’t worry. There is good news. Most visitors aren’t leaving because they don’t like your business. They’re leaving because they’re facing common website issues that you can fix. In this post, I’m sharing the real reasons visitors abandon websites and what you can do about it. As always, there’s no technical jargon or complex solutions – just simple, practical advice you can use to engage your website visitors and transform them into customers.

Don't think your super expensive branding alone without any marketing will do what you need to get you your next customer. Branding will help to establish your customers expectations about the type of business you are. More on that in a different article. Is your website just a digital brochure, or is it actively generating new business? If you’re anything like most business owners, you already know your website could be working harder 24/7 to generate leads. Do you have an employee working as hard? But how exactly do you make that happen? That’s where things can get confusing. Lead generation isn’t about having the flashiest design or using complicated technology. It’s simply about understanding how your visitors think and giving them compelling reasons to connect with you. It comes back to strategy and messaging. The good news is you don’t need to be a marketing expert to transform your website into a lead-generating machine. Through this blog post, we’ll explore seven proven strategies that can help turn your website visitors into valuable leads. There’s no fluff or theory. That’s a promise.

As I'm about to head off to Vietnam for the Christmas period and given the location of where my family and I are going isn't some where Christmas is necessarily celebrated I thought I'd reflect on how this might work even in the Australian marketing world. Also a bit of research I found this excellent article from the Purple Goat on inclusive holiday marketing (no relation to the Seth, sorry Seth lovers). I do love how these guys are all in on accessibility with their website projects. OT. It’s the most wonderful time of the year... . well for some. Not everybody celebrates Christmas, and in an age where we all strive to be more sensitive to different cultures and belief systems, it’s important that our content reflects that. For many businesses, Christmas is a busy time of the year, and their marketing will be themed towards the festivities that many enjoy and love. However, for customers who don’t celebrate Christmas or have different traditions, this marketing style can fall flat and, at worst, cause them to feel excluded. While this doesn’t mean a business needs to stop following a festive theme, there are small changes it could make to ensure it includes everybody. Let’s look at how a business can ensure its brand is passionate about creating an inclusive environment for all customers and coworkers.

Just to be clear if you're marketing agency is selling you a care plan it may be exactly the same thing as our website management but it may not include hosting or domain. It might just be a retainer to remotely manage your website without the hosting, plugin updates and some of the other features we offer. Why you might need website management services though might be questionable if you've come from years and years of not paying for the service with an old static website. I do get it, costs have skyrocketed in 2024 across the board whether it be electricity, houses or digital subscriptions. Nobody is happy about it while mostly our wages have stayed the same. Where can you cut costs then, where can you find the money to pay those important things you must have while getting rid of the optional extras. Why do you need Website Management or Care Plan? There's loads of hosting companies out there charging as little as $100 per years for their cut rate hosting. However hosting makes up around 30-40% of our website management plan and while this might be seen to represent closer to $300-$400 dollars a year the cut rate hosting is... --- - Published: 2024-11-20 - Modified: 2025-02-19 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/why-do-website-marking-agencies-talk-crap/ - Categories: Uncategorized This one is a bit of a frustration of mine, I'm a geek, I love talking tech, my wife's eyes glaze over and I can tell she doesn't care a bit about my website builder or css or html or the security behind PHP forms or anything technical. Why then do agencies publish content on the detail behind hacking a website or 5 reasons you might want to consider a care package. Why? It's all about topical authority, this is where Google has got it completely wrong with their ranking formulae for our industry. Keywords, they believe the more content related to a topic such as website design should make a business an expert in this area. Wrong, while it seems right in a basic sense agencies talk to their audiences through their blog and content marketing but they should be talking about website strategy, conversions, goals, tactics not the detail here. What pain points and general top level questions do customers have? Customers don't care, they really don't want to know any of the detail and unless they ask we should refrain from giving them unnecessary information. Don't worry, if this is you you're not alone my personality always leads me to the detail. I'm grateful for my wife who puts up with me.

The event was organised by the Sydney WordPress group and attracted attendees from all over Australia and even Internationally. I gained a lot from the talks and met more people than I can count on two hands. It was truly valuable to hear different perspectives on WordPress and its future and to engage with a community of mostly like-minded individuals. Despite being the smallest web design agency in Wagga I was the only one to attend but that's ok we're all busy. I also reconnected with an old acquaintances from some of the Drupal community during a meetup that I attended in Hobart in 2019 and Canberra a few years before that. Lot's of great discussions were had for the Drupal 7 end of life debacle. Being at the forefront of WordPress is crucial, especially since it powers almost 48% of websites on the internet. Despite the rise of DIY builders like Wix and Squarespace, WordPress remains the dominant choice. As you can imagine alot of my discussions were around, how to deal with beginner web design freelances using these tools which mainly highlighted a low price template based model which could be implemented in the same time or less than a SquareSpace site. Takes time to build those templates though so maybe a Christmas based job which is often when I do business and training developments.

Recently, a local agency published an article stated WordPress was superior to Drupal. They even included a brochure from their hosting company, which by the way is currently involved in a lawsuit with the WordPress and was banned from the recent WordCamp Sydney 2024 - WP Engine. Just because it has WP in the name doesn't make it affiliated, it's just a branding booster which is one reason WordPress had a problem with them. I have a full article ready to go which should be online this week on why you shouldn't deal with an agency who uses WP Engine as requested by the CEO of WordPress to vote with your wallet and embrace the fundamentals of Open Source. Declaring your CMS is better than the other agencies is a cheap sales tactic flawed in essence because both are open source and both have their own benefits and drawbacks. Drupal isn't going anywhere anytime soon Drupal is not going anywhere anytime soon but I'm hearing more and more that Drupal is end of life. Such a blanket statement again is completely false and a lie. Drupal 11 is a system that will continue and has a far better framework in symphony than WordPress has. That's right it's a more superior engineered system.

You may even find yourself on page 3 after clicking through countless others on Google but hopefully not if you're a Get Leads customer. Do you want to be that business or do you want to be number 1 for the keywords you know people are searching for. The answer seems obvious but most people don't even know how many visitors they have to their online presence every month. Website analytics can be a confusing beast at the best of times. You’ve likely set up Google Analytics or a privacy-focused analytics tool like Fathom to enable your team to track your website’s performance. At Get Leads all of our websites have been setup with Google Analytics and so if you're a customer these numbers are ticking over in the background and I'm more than happy to add access for you if you don't already have it. When you start looking at your analytics data, you may not understand what everything means. If that’s you, don’t worry — this is a normal feeling. Most business owners aren’t data scientists with years of expertise in analytics or SEO. Here's my link to our SEO services if traffic is that one metric you just can't seem to get going.

By the end of this article you'll see the one thing you won't get from the AI shining through my creative writing ;) I do have an articles on using AI in web design if you wanted to read more on the topic. Design is also about patterns and rules not just creativity Does this sound like something an AI could be trained to understand? I think absolutely, it's also quicker to do research and to analysis data so where is this "creativity" process human resulting in something of better quality?

It goes hand in hand with todays best practice website building. Two sites could look the same but one could be far more superior than the other and the one with better practices applied has a knock on effect not just with your Google rank. This is why we use frameworks around our sites and always use WordPress to assist with making websites compliant. Accessibility proof of the need You might be surprised to learn that up to 20% of visitors to your website need help with accessibility-related issues. That’s a lot of potential customers! Think about it. If you get 50,000 monthly visitors, around 10,000 might need accessible features. Can you afford to miss out on all those potential sales? And it’s not just about sales figures. Accessibility laws are becoming commonplace around the world. Multinational companies and small businesses alike are facing legal issues over website accessibility. What's an accessibility statement? You should consider creating an accessibility statement as part of your commitment to being inclusive to every website visitor. An accessibility statement is a declaration that defines the level of web accessibility you’re targeting for your website, as well as how you will achieve that. You can also use your statement to acknowledge areas of your website where you haven’t met your accessibility targets and how you plan to resolve these issues. These usually appear as a link in the footer of... --- - Published: 2024-09-16 - Modified: 2024-09-16 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/website-management-vs-hosting-in-2024/ - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: SquareSpace, Website Hosting I recently stopped offering "Website Hosting" directly and instead we call it "Website Management" as more of a holistic term. If you want to get hacked then by all means concentrate on paying a single bill for "Website Hosting", don't worry about your plugin updates, monitoring or the other security services applied to your websites health. I believe it's not beneficial for the industry or the customer. Simply providing a small aspect that is needed to successfully run your website is not enough to maintain an effective online presence. There's much more involved. Website hosting is 30% of what we actually provide You might think transferring your hosting can save money, but what we offer goes beyond basic hosting. Companies like Crazy Domains might provide hosting for as little as $100 a year, but our services are quite different. You're not comparing apples and apples and if you care about security and you should there's more involved that no customer should need to know the details of unless they want to. Let me explain. Website Licensing, dependency services If you had a website built maybe 10-20 years ago, it could exist independently without relying on any external services.

To date I've done several of these that cover the topic but as we continue to do more regional work we become more confident in what we see is plain wrong or not best practice. I'll link to some of the others in the bottom of the article. If you live in a regional centre like Wagga then pickings are slim when it comes to web designers or graphic designers. Naturally if you need a new website you might search for "website designer Wagga" or something like that. But what you risk is getting someone who only knows how to do half the job via your well informed Google search. You'll get a whole bunch of creative freelancers calling themselves agencies quick to put forward their portfolio of logos and branding. I'm not making any friends here, this is what the designers and IT guys don't want you to figure out. Key things to figure it out for yourself? Check for SaaS, Wix or SquareSpace - No, it's not a disease but it's kind of like one.

Over the years I’ve mainly used subtle animation when building websites. You scroll down to a certain point and the image or text fades in nicely. With frameworks including animation with almost all builders, it’s made super simple to implement. I recently added some subtle animation with the Canberra Dentures website I built during July 2024. While the affect is subtle it does little to appeal to the ideal audience and achieve the goals of the website. This was an upgrade from an old SquareSpace website where animation was included to fade in elements so we though it needed a little bit more to be considered more “modern”. The fact of the matter is animation is still considered modern despite it being around since the early days of Flash in the 90s. Usually though animation in the past has been implemented utilising JavaScript and other frameworks that can be included and heavy, resulting in slowing down your website. with HTML5 and CSS3 animation is far easier to do without the need of these libraries. Unless, of course you're working on a site with what’s called Lottie animations. Below I go through the main reasons why animation fails: Lack of Purpose: Most animations on websites, including those enabled by Lottie or built into themes like SquareSpace, are often added without a strategic reason. The primary goal of... --- - Published: 2024-08-26 - Modified: 2024-09-16 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/refurb-and-relaunch-what-does-that-mean-to-you/ - Categories: Marketing, Uncategorized - Tags: Website Design, Website Hosting The comments below contain bias they are however also our subjective opinion and apparently the opinion of many people on the Reddit and other social media platforms. These are recent complaints of the SaaS community. Of course you could go to other WordPress forums and find some complaints. Read them and take them or leave them, hopefully at the end of the day you understand the severe restrictions and limitations of SaaS platforms, they are for some people. Call us to upgrade your site to a non-SaaS solution. Website redesign or re-platform. What does that mean? If it involves a business, it might mean repainting, putting up new signs, getting new decor, and trying to attract new clients by making the old new. It's true that websites can become outdated and eventually need to be retired. However, the content on those websites might still be valid for a business. What a business aimed to achieve 10 years ago could still be relevant today. It's worth considering whether the strategy should change when refurbishing and redesigning a website. Is your audience more likely to engage with new messaging, or was the original message from 10 years ago still effective? Our Refurb Refresh service for websites offers a cost-effective solution that allows you to update your site with a fresh, contemporary look without a hefty price tag. Creating a new website involves a lot of work. You need new content, photos, structures, strategies, and tactics.

In some cases that's easy enough to do, but for customers using proprietary non-WordPress platforms such as those run by Local Search and Telstra these guys are genius at holding onto your hard earnt dollars and demanding whatever price they want. This article isn't just about the tricks you come across with our competitors, it's also about plugin licensing which is often something that is overlooked when trying to save money on budget hosting. What you're paying for with any agency is not the product but their time and licensing to build you something custom. The product is an end result that also comes with ongoing responsibility. This is what designer freelancers often overlook when starting a business the idea of responsibility for maintaining a product beyond spending initial time building it. Say they go down the SquareSpace route they then think that solves the problem but they then get to support a website for nothing while SquareSpace takes the dollars. It's a different problem they are supporting but it's still time and effort. Charge your one off fee to change that image for the customer making you $200 one off and that sounds great until that happens once a year and every other job they have for you is a 5 minute job you can't charge for.

While things have been an amazing success for us here and our team seems to grow every week over June-August we have noticed a drop off with work coming through from new clients. Existing clients continue to feed us work from friends and colleagues but we haven't had a truely new customer for a few months. I know, winter in Wagga can be slow and cold. Today we're launching our Google Ads campaigns. As a web developer I'm focused on creating impactful marketing content, I’ve always understood the importance of being visible online. But today, I’m taking it a step further by diving into the world of Google Ads to expand my reach and help more clients find their way to success. I wanted to take this opportunity to document our process here in the Google Ads space and to eventually prove it's success. Building Effective Lead Pages One of the first steps in this campaign was the creation of dedicated lead pages. These pages are meticulously structured to capture the attention of potential clients and convert them into leads. Here’s a breakdown of how these pages are designed: Clear and Concise Headlines: Each lead page features a strong, attention-grabbing headline that clearly communicates the value proposition. Engaging Visuals: I’ve included high-quality images and videos to make the content more engaging and visually appealing. I've even grabbed some from the local Wagga area to make it seem more local.

In this article we're going to be looking at different ways to optmise your images before you upload them to your website. I would emphasis at this point that you shouldn't start with images that are 10 Mb in size and because they load fast on your computer doesn't mean they are going to fast on your target audience. You might be also thinking why Jason are you giving away some of your secret sauce. Well, most of my local competitors are using WordPress and different forms of image optimisation but I do find frequently that most don't even bother with WEBP format.

You're going to learn in this article some amazing insights that will blow you away that are in my my workflow. It's important here to note that this article is for the web designer, web developer and not necessarily for the customer.

Because some of these can look it's quite easy to make a mistake in this area if you have the luxury of telling your designer what page builder to use. Usually it's not the case but it still really annoys me when I see competitors continuing to build websites for small-medium businesses with sub-par builders because they're too lazy or simply just want an easy buck. There's really not much I can do about it, besides try to educate my customers through my monthly marketing email mail-outs and producing youtube clips like the following. Oh dear, I'm one of them now but putting together a video like this took me more than a day to plan, do some training on Final Cut Pro and put it all together. Go easy on the comments, I have my "L" plates on. As a web designer even in a small country town Wagga I've used just about all of them among the most popular are Elementor and Bricks Builder and SquareSpace. While Elementor has garnered a massive following with a significant number of installs and an extensive theme library, Bricks Builder has steadily gained attention for its modern features and superior performance.

High-quality images can make or break user engagement, and as web developers, they also fall into the realms of if a site looks professional and credible. We’re often faced with the dilemma of choosing between original photography and stock images. At Get Leads, original photography is always preferred for its authenticity and uniqueness, there are instances where stock photography fills the gap though and a stock library is definitely something a quality web developer needs up his or her sleeve even in Wagga. In the below video I get onto all the stock library sites and we do a comparison looking at the keyword "Wagga" as a unique term and seeing what results we get as well as something a bit more generic such as "Plumber", "Leak Detection" just to see the quality across the bunch.

They help convey brand identity, enhance readability, and improve user experience. I've been developing websites for over 20 years and built over 200 sites in and around Wagga and the Riverina area and now in Cairns. I think I've seen just about everything until now. However, using web fonts isn’t just about selecting the right style; it’s also about ensuring that the fonts are properly licensed. Font licensing can be a complex area, but understanding it is essential for avoiding legal issues and maintaining the integrity of your website. This is something customers just expect is a given, the designer has chosen a font and licensed it for use or already has a license to use it. Perhaps it's a free font even and that's not something they have to worry about. This article will explore who is responsible for font licensing, the consequences of using unlicensed fonts, how to check font licenses, and best practices for ensuring your web fonts are correctly licensed. Who is Responsible for Ensuring Fonts are Licensed? There are generally three parties responsible for your fonts used on a website. Firstly it starts with you the client. Font's are generally selected based on your businesses brand or style or logo usage. If this is the case you should know what fonts make up your brands identity. A designer may of provided these to you initially together with... --- - Published: 2024-07-01 - Modified: 2025-02-19 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/web-designer-agencies-using-ai/ - Categories: AI - Tags: Marketing, Web Designer While chat GPT leads innovation and it becomes a more accepted time saving method to achieve results I'm often taken back on what local agencies try to get past on Google with minimal to no effort. It's true, also guilty, I have in the past used ChatGPT to compile articles like this one but it's often a start point. I've also tested out the idea of a spreadsheet of articles and pushing out some ChatGPT article automation to my website creating and publishing articles.

While both roles are crucial, they serve distinct purposes that should not be conflated. Web designers focus on aesthetics and user experience, crafting visually appealing and engaging interfaces. On the other hand, web developers bring the technical expertise required for a robust, scalable, and maintainable website. The developer simply needs the designer to create a wireframe and concept to implement. There's some really important reasons you don't want your web designer to do the implementation as well as the design. Don't get me wrong this symbiotic relationship between designers and developers is essential for a successful project. However, designers must recognise the importance of letting go of their designs at the implementation stage, allowing developers to bring those designs to life with the necessary technical precision. The Power of ACSS: A Scalable Structure by Kevin Gearly Responsive Framework: ACSS is a responsive framework designed to work seamlessly across various devices. This framework ensures that websites are not just visually appealing but also functionally robust. Unlike traditional design-focused approaches, ACSS requires a programming mindset to code classes with variablesScalable Variables: One of the standout features of ACSS is its use of scalable variables.

Let me start by being upfront though Get Leads AU builds custom sites. Custom designs, strategy, development because no one size fits all. Let me first explain that the below is my personal experience after 20 years in the industry. People get very protective over their workflows and content management systems. Nobody wants to be wrong about driving that lemon of a car even though you know deep down you should have chosen something else. My basis for choosing any theme or CMS is always best practice and light weight web design that conforms to W3C stands and is accessible to all. I'm a bad businessman I don't make decisions purely on money it's really coming down to what I consider quality websites and being proud of what I've built. Let’s explore, despite the advancements in technology and the increasing demand for unique, custom-built websites, many web design agencies still opt for prebuilt templates. But why is this the case? Let’s explore the benefits and weaknesses of using website templates and understand why this approach remains popular. The Benefits of Website Templates even in Wagga Cost-EffectivenessOne of the most significant advantages of using website templates is the cost. Custom-built websites can be expensive, requiring substantial time and resources. Templates, on the other hand, offer a more affordable solution, making professional-looking websites accessible to small businesses and startups with limited budgets.

It can be a pretty tricky topic other website designers in Wagga or Cairns simply ignore because it’s too hard or too much work. I've had alot of experience with making websites accessible over the past 20 years in the industry and can tell you it's not as easy as ticking a box or adding a plugin to your site. In this article I’m going to show you how to test your website for accessibility and provide you some tools. I can give you some helpful tips on how to fix it but it' can be quite technical and beyond the capability of most people. Sorry in advance to the SquareSpace crowd you probably won’t have much if any capability to do anything technical mentioned here. :) Even for people in the Riverina and in Wagga creating an inclusive online environment is more crucial than ever. Website accessibility ensures that everyone, including people with disabilities, can use and interact with your website. Here's a link to my guide on creating an accessibility statement. While some enhancements are visible, much of the work happens behind the scenes, requiring a significant investment in time and resources.

It’s the old adage “When you stop growing, you start dying” from William Burroughs. Why then do businesses particularly in regional Australia say I love your work but I don't need any more work so can we please just make the site about me and not as much about my customer. What’s your website the Goal Being thorough with the goal of a website role and what they are hoping to achieve or “solve” from it. Reflecting on the Get Leads Strategy and target audience As a new startup you fail to plan, plan to fail. Part of my business plan was identifying the audiences and doing some research and interviews to see if what I was proposing would work. As I was hitting the ground running with existing customers it seemed natural that I would gravitate more towards professional businesses with the majority of these making up existing numbers. I also spoke to a few that said their problem was they needed to get new customers.   Different types of sites for different audiences/personas stages of a business and even locations Today, I’m a little bit more reserved about going with an approach that has a set eight step strategy.

One of the most effective ways to do this is by ensuring your website is accessible to everyone. Accessibility is an important topic these days, as it should be. It has become a focal point for many businesses to make sure their website usability is inclusive to every visitor. This month I emailed out all of my clients letting them know about a big push in the tourism sector for accessibility. This isn't just online but also physical accessibility to businesses. I see it all the time recently I had a customer in Canberra who has a denture clinic telling me about how important parking is to her and her customers and how she'll loose business if her clinic isn't easy to access. It's the same with your online business. However, some businesses are falling behind, not knowing the benefits of having an accessible website. It may be that they feel overwhelmed by the potential changes they need to make, or they simply don’t know the importance of it for reaching as wide an audience as possible. Let’s take a look at some of the surprising benefits that having an accessible website can bring. You reach a wider audience – Get Leads takes effective websites that reach more clients very serious.

Everyone wants to be fast and with that comes a long process of figuring out how to optimise a website to match against three specific categories. Performance, SEO, Accessibility and best practice.

It may surprise you that there are at least 11 different agencies to understand especially if you’re looking at getting a new website built that will be effective. Of course I’m biased with which one’s are the best but it often comes down to their company structures and experiences. Naturally, you can say the same for any business from the local flower shop to the car mechanic that specialises in Volvo’s.

I've probably got at least 10 articles on SEO and my experience on this site while other articles on my other site Regional Web Developer. Google Rankings are Volatile and a Great for business During this week I did the usual search on Monday to see where I'm at with "Web Design Wagga" - Whoa, I'd dropped to 5th or 6th despite all my efforts and then again today we're back at position number 2.

All of the content contained within the below is based on my personal experiences over the years. Being upfront from the start is important to Get Leads. I've built several SquareSpace, Wix DIY sites but far more Drupal and WordPress in the 20 years I've been in the industry. I do believe there's a perfect customer for SquareSpace and that customer looks a little bit like this and I'd tick all boxes below before i consider it an option: It's a mum/dad business startup operating on a budget They want to do minor updates every now and then themselves They don't want to spend money on a trained professional to do updates it's all DIY They have lots of spare time they think about building and tweaking their website They don't mind if their site looks similar to everybody else's as longs got their logo. Also make it big. Don't want the hassle of having to maintain their own website security. Don't really care if they rank on Google or have a chance in the SEO game for keywords. Happy to spend money out of town building up the DIY website builder empire even in the USA. Don't see value in content strategy or take into consideration that it's valuable. Templates are good.

In Wagga Wagga, NSW and Cairns, QLD, the business ecosystem is predominantly characterised by mature small business that have long established their roots in local communities. These businesses, often pillars of their local economies, vary widely in their openness but aren't always open to embrace the full spectrum of digital marketing strategies. We therefore are considering a delicate balance between innovation and tradition with our local Cairns, Murrumbidgee and Riverina businesses. Enter Get Leads AU, a digital marketing agency with a mission deeply anchored in the belief that effective websites and digital strategies can significantly convert casual browsers into loyal customers. At the heart of Get Leads AU's approach is an understanding of what an effective website looks like, utilising emotional triggers and a proven communication framework designed to engage and persuade. However, translating this mission that is so close to our heart into action has presented an intriguing challenge: many regional clients, mature businesses, express a preference for simplicity over complexity. They seek an online presence that serves as a digital storefront rather than a dynamic tool for growth and engagement. Hmm, who knew that the humble website could be something more. This preference stems not from a lack of ambition but from a perspective where the digital domain is viewed through a lens of functionality rather than opportunity. For these businesses,... --- - Published: 2024-02-17 - Modified: 2025-02-19 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/why-our-website-hosting-wagga-and-management-is-the-best/ - Categories: Integration - Tags: Website Hosting With our “Nerdy Thirty” website ingredients, Get Leads AU Wagga sets a new standard for website hosting, especially in terms of security, speed, and backup/redundancy.

That’s why we employ multiple layers of both software and hardware firewalls, incorporating up to five different filtering systems. This comprehensive approach ensures your site is shielded from an array of threats, keeping your data safe and secure. Crowd-Based IP Filtering Our innovative crowd-based IP attack system is centrally managed and updated regularly, offering a dynamic defense against various forms of cyberattacks. This system not only protects against common login attacks but is also effective against ten different styles of attack vectors, providing a broad spectrum of protection. WordFence Security Suite We equip every website with WordFence, a leading security plugin known for its effectiveness in stopping brute force attacks, conducting malware scans, and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for users. This setup is a standard part of our offering, ensuring your website benefits from top-tier security measures for peace of mind. XML-RPC Disable Recognizing potential vulnerabilities, we disable XML-RPC by default on WordPress sites. While it facilitates remote posting to your site using a username and password, it also presents an unnecessary risk. By disabling it, we close off this potential access point to unauthorized users.

I'll kick things off from the very start, as my adventure with Shopify began roughly a decade ago. However, it truly initiated back in 2006, nearly two decades back from now, which admittedly makes me feel quite aged. Despite this, Shopify has continuously updated its platform over the years, maintaining a sleek and contemporary look. It's still regarded as a highly modern interface that any store owner can navigate with ease and efficiency. Yet, some recent modifications as of February 2024 have led me to ponder if it might be time to explore alternatives. The most significant alteration involves a reduction in staff accounts on the basic plan. Why we've built websites in Shopify? We'll choose the best platform for the client's needs and usually if they are starting out or quite small Shopify is the best fit. You can get something built in as little as a day or two that your happy for your clients call it your site. I've had a lot of experience with other eCommerce platforms from Woocommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Neto and Open Cart. Nothing for me has competed for the simplicity of selling other than Shopify. It's perfect for small retailers and a business starting out. How we've seen Shopify's strategy change or evolve Over the years when you look back on Shopify as something that anyone can get into this narrative remains the same but at the same time Shopify Plus, their enterprise system has grown and the stores that have... --- - Published: 2024-01-19 - Modified: 2024-06-26 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/why-marketers-must-understand-dmarc-dkim-and-spf/ - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: eDM, Marketing What's all the hype about my email being rejected - the best possible DMARC guide for marketers It's been a huge week for me at Get Leads, we setup DMARC records for all customers who have DNS through us in order to deal with the upcoming changes with email verification. Google and Yahoo came out a few weeks ago and said they will be bouncing messages to their accounts if email was not configured correctly with a DMARC record. I'm not an IT guy well I try to not call myself an IT guy as I'd like to be called more of a marketing guy and so most of my articles concentrate around messaging, brand and marketing however sometimes there's some crossover. Email has always been an area that IT crosses over with Marketing but if your Marketer in Wagga and you choose to ignore the news you could be setting yourself up for failure. This has huge impacts especially for marketing campaigns where messages are paid to be sent and not delivered. Email is also a specialist area that marketers and IT struggle to stay ahead of. Gone are the days when you'd add a mail account for free to your cPanel hosting account. Email is a far more specialised area and because it's mission critical you need to rely on it to work 100% of the time. Over 20 years I've probably setup over a hundred Gsuite or Google Workspaces accounts for clients.

For those with limited authority or recognition in their field, the challenge of climbing the SEO ladder can seem daunting. However, with the right strategies and insights, it is possible to carve out a niche and achieve significant online visibility. This article delves into practical SEO strategies and real-world insights for those starting with little authority. We will specifically target my journey that begun in October 2023 where I began targeting those keywords with search volume in Wagga using a fresh domain of getleads. au that had no authority. Later in this article we will also talk about if the juice is worth the squeeze as it can be described in a regional community. 1. SEO Strategies for Emerging Businesses There’s loads of strategies to use with SEO, the industry is a self licking ice-cream that you can get lost in but more recently I’ve been coming to an understanding that for SEO to really work if you don’t want to advertise using Google PPC then perhaps it requires ongoing efforts for a very long time and can be expensive. Let me also point out that Google hates SEO because it means more people are pushing for free organic traffic vs. paying for PPC. The below is not meant to be an exhaustive list and certainly... --- - Published: 2024-01-04 - Modified: 2024-06-26 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/planning-out-a-web-design-wagga-wagga-takes-just-as-long-as-building-it/ - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: Marketing, Web Designer, WordPress Development This one is for those of you who think website designers just sit down and start building a site with content, photos and heading. Maybe even starting with a theme and adding what's needed where it's needed. Today, it's so much more than that. Don't believe the hype in the SquareSpace DIY builder marketing, it's all rubbish, you get what you pay for. If you use a website designer in Wagga Wagga who uses these tools marketing you'll quickly find your site's not ranking as well as it could and your leaving money on the table. A little bit off topic sorry, I get a little passionate about the DIY web builder area as a developer. Planning and web design I've been building websites as a web developer in Wagga Wagga for over 20 years. For a lot of those years I worked with a designer who sourced the content from the clients to put onto a site. Sometimes those sites would be templates, other times completely custom built websites. The Process and Experience of a Website Client The web design process has changed. In the past we'd meet with a client, find out the type of website that he/she wanted and after a proposal and quote we'd create a sitemap that then came with the requirement to get the client to produce content or the designer would create content. We'd then get a concept and me as the developer would build it using whatever CMS we could build it... --- - Published: 2023-12-31 - Modified: 2025-02-05 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/marketing-wagga-solve-dont-sell/ - Categories: Marketing - Tags: CRM, Marketing, Sales Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a sales pitch the moment you walked into a store or clicked on a website? This is a funny post as the title of my website is Get Leads and so you'd expect I'm all about selling. In today's market, the hard sell is less effective than ever and with a small regional community like Wagga Wagga it's probably not surprising that most customers come through word of mouth and not through a hard sell over the phone or on a website. This blog explores why focusing on solving customer problems and building relationships is a far more successful strategy and also why local Wagga marketing wins the day over some random in Sydney or part of a large company where you're a customer number. The Pitfalls of Premature Selling Ok, I've done it a million times, I've started with the sale, you need a website sure I can do that it's going to be x amount of dollars. What I've learnt is when businesses push products too early, customers often retreat. It's a natural defence against feeling pressured. Then how should marketing in Wagga work to be more effective? Is it a customer you want anyway? Again a quick sale might boost immediate revenue, but it rarely leads to lasting loyalty. In contrast, building a relationship based on trust and understanding can create a loyal customer base. A customer is often on the edge of switching from a previous provider in the first... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2024-06-26 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/angry-ant-web-design-marketing/ - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: Business This one's all about my transition and how I migrated to the new brand along with my customers to what is today Get Leads AU for all Wagga Business Owners needing website management and hosting. To be clear Angry Ant still exists and is not replaced by Get Leads although we offer many of the same services. On the 1st Oct 2023 I sold the business name Angry Ant Web to my partner of 16 years. It was a hard decision, but in the 16 years I built hundreds of sites for local Wagga businesses and had alot of fun. In this article, I will talk about my journey and my success over that period with Angry Ant. I'll mention some of my favourite customers, a big focus on the technology that ran our websites as the tech geek of the partnership and much more about the web development and web design processes what worked and what didn't work. At the end of any chapter, I think it's super important to look back and figure out what you learnt and what you can apply to make new customers even more successful. I've done a couple of these articles now including this other one which is along the lines of how my web design business in Wagga grew and grew. Marketing Background Where the Angry Ant name came from In 2007 I started Angry Ant with my business partner while we both worked at Kapooka full-time.

While tech is changing so is our businesses in regional Australia. Today, I'd like to share a story of such a transformation that has its roots in the heart of Wagga and the Riverina area and as of 2025 also the Cairns area—a tale of growth, change, and unwavering commitment to exceptional service. For the past 16 years, a little company with a spirited name, Angry Ant Web Design, has been a beacon of creativity and technical prowess, servicing over 140 local clients in Wagga. As one of the co-founders of this establishment, I have had the privilege of not only building but also meticulously maintaining a vast array of websites that have become cornerstones of many local businesses. The 1st of October 2023 marked a new chapter for us. With the maturity and clarity that come from years of partnership, we realised our paths, while still parallel in mission, deliver great marketing, we needed to have different footprints. I chose to refocus my expertise on the optimisation and technical aspects that have been at the core of my professional joy—website design, website updates, management, and the intricate dance of coding that keeps the digital doors open and efficient. Meanwhile, my former partner, has continued to carry the Angry Ant banner forward, contributing to the community with stellar branding, logos, graphic design,... --- - Published: 2023-11-17 - Modified: 2024-06-25 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/its-vital-to-have-a-professional-website-for-businesses-in-wagga-wagga/ - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: Marketing, SEO I’m not talking about a Squarespace or Wix site either. In today's digital age, having a professional website is crucial for businesses in Wagga. A well-designed website serves as the digital face of your company, offering a first impression to potential customers. It's not just about aesthetics; a professional website enhances user experience, ensuring that visitors can easily navigate and find what they're looking for. This ease of use can significantly boost customer satisfaction and loyalty. Your marketing presence in Wagga Moreover, a professional website is vital for effective online marketing. It's the cornerstone of your digital presence, integrating with social media, email marketing, and other online platforms to create a cohesive brand image. This integration is essential for reaching a broader audience and establishing a strong online presence. Three steps to elevating your business in Wagga with strategic Web Design Step 1 - Understand your audience Elevating your business in Wagga through strategic web design involves a few key steps. Firstly, it's essential to understand your audience. Knowing who your customers are, what they need, and how they interact with your website is crucial. This knowledge allows you to tailor your website's design to meet their expectations, ensuring a more engaging and effective user experience. Step 2 - Their aspirational identity Secondly, consistency in branding is vital. Your website should be a reflection of your brand's identity.

Our founder, Jason Greenlees, saw that while Wagga had a flourishing business community, many local businesses struggled to make their mark online. We've since expanded and while we have staff in Wagga still Cairns is another location Jason is busy expanding his reach. With his background in digital marketing and business development, Jason realised with his in-depth experience he could fill this gap. Jason noticed that while national-level marketing strategies were aplenty, a localised approach that understood the nuances of Wagga’s market was scarce. People value face-to-face interaction and someone they know when they have a question they can call or ask to come in for a coffee. Jason envisioned a marketing agency that would not just offer cookie-cutter strategies, but rather tailor each campaign to the unique needs of businesses in the Riverina region. He believed in the power of digital marketing to transform businesses from surviving to thriving, even in a rural cities like Cairns & Wagga. This vision was supported by his belief that local businesses deserve the same level of expertise and digital prowess as their big-city counterparts. Get Leads AU - your partner in both online marketing and Web Design In the heart of the Riverina, businesses are teeming with passion and expertise. Yet, there’s a critical piece of the puzzle that's often missing - getting customers to consistently knock on the door.

While there are many do-it-yourself website builders available, hiring a professional web designer can provide numerous benefits for your business. In this blog post, we'll discuss the advantages of working with a professional web designer in Wagga or Cairns, including improved overall design, better functionality, and increased visibility. We'll also provide tips for finding the right web designer for your project. For 18 years Jason Greenlees was one of the partners with Angry Ant Web Design, in that time I built the business to deliver professional-grade websites for Wagga businesses. Over time I accumulated loads of custom web design experience and saw many Wagga businesses flourish by using optimisation and content strategies implemented on sites I built. You can read more about what expired the start of Get Leads here. Wagga web design experience was not simply limited to Wagga but also Griffith, Leeton, Albury and Narrandera to name a few outliers. While I am proud to of started with Angry Ant Web Design this led me to a lot of healthcare web designs, for doctors, dentists, chiropractors and even Pulse+IT, Australia's biggest healthcare article provider and other professional-based companies.   From this you can see experience in web design is key to building a successful digital agency and now with Get Leads AU I'm taking things even further for web design Wagga and the Riverina.

This might sounds like jargon; you know what a domain is but have no idea what DNS is or how it all works. If that's the case, then please I beg you stop here unless you have a genuine interest in the technical aspects and doing further research. This topic is a contentious one between IT professionals and the Marketing Agencies who manage domains and DNS. Both want to manage the product for the client, and both have the best interests of the client at heart. While neither usually understands the perspective of the other when it comes down to their specialist area, and usually, the result is one has to bend to the will of the other. Ten reasons your agency should be the one to manage your Domain and DNS Ten reasons why your agency should have just as much justification to manage the customer domain or/or DNS with your website management plan. Simplicity and Consistency: Managing everything under one company simplifies the process and reduces the risk of miscommunication or oversights due to a scattered approach. IT Involvement: While IT teams may need occasional access to DNS for certain setups, this can be facilitated through shared DNS on Cloudflare without giving them control over the domain on their reseller account.

Behind every successful online presence lie two critical components – website hosting and website management. However, they are not the same and the services they offer significantly differ. In this article, we will explore how GetLeads. AU's approach to website management offers far more than conventional hosting, providing a strategic edge in digital marketing with speed, expertise, and innovative solutions. Understanding the Basics: Hosting and Management Website hosting forms the bedrock of your online presence by providing the infrastructure necessary for your website to be online. In contrast, website management takes a comprehensive, strategic approach to maintaining, enhancing, and optimising your website. This ensures your site isn’t just online, but is also primed to achieve your business objectives. Types of the Best Website Agencies There are three types of website agencies business that deliver services in this area but there's alot to consider that may not be. The non-technical agency, the super technical agency and the backyard IT guy. I unpack this in a bit more detail in my other article "Striking a Balance: Between Technical Mastery and Content Effectiveness" Why on earth would i go with an agency with a team in Wagga Wagga NSW Australia For the same reason you'd choose an agency in Sydney or Melbourne. While we all do our thing well we all know we need specialists to deliver customer success in an affordable... --- - Published: 2023-07-28 - Modified: 2024-02-18 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/striking-a-balance-between-technical-mastery-and-content-effectiveness/ - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: Website Design In the realm of website management, the ideal balance between technical proficiency and content effectiveness can often prove elusive. On one hand, many agencies emphasize the technical aspects of website management, focusing on the nuts and bolts of website construction and maintenance. While this is undoubtedly crucial, an overemphasis on technical elements can result in a neglect of the website's actual content and its ability to engage and convert visitors. In essence, a technically flawless site with lackluster content may not deliver the desired business outcomes. On the other hand, some agencies may lack in-depth technical expertise, opting to use simple DIY tools like Squarespace for website construction. While these platforms may be sufficient for small-scale operations, they often fall short when it comes to scalability and competitiveness, especially when up against larger, more optimized websites. Adding to this conundrum is the IT professional who, recognizing the profitability of website hosting, delves into it without fully understanding the multifaceted aspects of running a website. Overlooking components such as compatibility checks, vendor license management, and regular updates can lead to subpar site performance and potential security vulnerabilities. Navigating this landscape requires a comprehensive understanding of both the technical and content-driven facets of website management. The key lies in balancing the 'two evils' by ensuring that your website is both technically sound and filled with engaging, effective content that aligns with your brand's goals and engages your target audience. This balance is precisely what GetLeads. AU strives to provide - a blend... --- - Published: 2023-07-28 - Modified: 2025-02-19 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/effective-online-presence-website-designer/ - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: Regional Australia The digital age has reshaped the landscape of business and marketing in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. Today, the real measure of an enterprise’s competitiveness lies in its online presence - how well it is perceived, how accessible it is, and how effectively it drives towards achieving business goals. This is precisely where the role of a website agency becomes critical. However, contrary to traditional beliefs, the location of your website agency may not be as crucial as you think. Whether you choose an agency from Wagga, Cairns, Sydney, or Melbourne, the ultimate determinant of your online success will not be geographical location, but the effectiveness of your digital representation. I wrote this article a while back on How do you choose a local web designer that also looks at the effectiveness aspect of websites. In the present scenario, it's not uncommon for website agencies based in major cities like Sydney and Melbourne to outsource their services. This practice helps them cut their operational costs and optimise their profit margins. What many clients fail to realise is that they often end up paying more for the same services they could get from a local, regional agency at a more affordable rate. Being a regional agency ourselves, we understand the importance of leveraging specific skill sets to deliver superior results. At the same time, we believe in the value of keeping creative jobs local, contributing to the growth and prosperity of our community. We're proudly serving clients... --- - Published: 2023-07-28 - Modified: 2025-02-19 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/boosting-website-rankings-through-effective-content-a-case-study-in-regional-australia/ - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: SEO Earlier this year, as a partner business with Regional Web Developer, I embarked on a mission to demonstrate the transformative power of content for a new business's website ranking. The project's central goal was not simply to create a functional, aesthetically pleasing website, but to use strategic content creation to elevate the website's visibility and competitiveness. The website was part of a pioneering initiative networking agencies in the regional areas within Australia, including Cairns, Wagga, Albury and Griffith. By providing quality specialist services, we aimed to level the playing field, enabling these agencies to compete for larger projects that would typically be awarded to big networks in major cities. However, the larger networks had a different approach. As part of a campaign called 'Boomtown Marketing,' they were marketing their services to the regional areas. This approach was essentially pulling the grant money from the regions that could potentially create jobs locally. In contrast, our initiative focused on fostering local growth by empowering businesses to increase their online visibility. The goal wasn't to outsource marketing to big city firms but to enhance the regional business' competitiveness using sophisticated SEO strategies. Our method centered around conducting extensive keyword research. By identifying lower competition keywords relevant to the businesses we were supporting, we could create articles filled with rich metadata to help rank for those keywords. You can see the article on this here for Albury SEO Tier 1. There's also a cluster of "Albury SEO" based articles spread throughout the insights area... --- --- ## Services --- ## Locations - Published: 2024-12-28 - Modified: 2025-05-12 - URL: https://www.getleads.au/locations/web-design-cairns/ - Categories: Marketing Grow Your Cairns Business with Effective Website Design Do you have a local business in Cairns and want to take your business to the next level.
