Edge Hill locals love to shop and eat local. But they still pull out their phone first. I build websites that show up when they search your suburb, so that community loyalty actually turns into bookings and calls for your business.
I'm Bernie Didge, and I run Aerotex Digital out of Cairns. Every website I build, I build myself. No juniors, no one outsourcing your project to someone who doesn't know Edge Hill from Earlville.
Edge Hill is a suburb that genuinely has something special going for it. The cafe strip, the boutiques, the professionals. People who live nearby actively want to support local businesses there. The problem is that wanting to support local and actually finding you on Google are two different things.
I build websites that fix that gap. Give me a call on 0455 836 000 and we'll have a plain English chat about what's possible for your business.
Edge Hill has a strong identity. The businesses that do well there lean into it. Here's what each type of business needs to show up when locals search your suburb.
The majority of Edge Hill businesses either have no website, or have one that Google can't find. That means a properly built site can start showing up quickly because there's not much fighting you for the top spots.
When someone types your suburb into Google, they're not just browsing. They've already decided they want something local. Your job is to be the one they find. That's exactly what a well-built website does.
Locals actively prefer to shop and eat in Edge Hill rather than drive into the city. Once they find you, they tend to come back and tell their neighbours. But first they have to find you, and that starts with your website.
Every site I build works just as well on a phone as it does on a desktop. That matters because the vast majority of local suburb searches happen on someone's mobile, usually while they're out and deciding where to go right now.
Simple steps, plain English, no surprises. This is how Bernie gets your business showing up in Edge Hill searches.
Tell me about your business. I'll listen and ask a few questions. No pitch, no pressure.
Before you spend anything, I walk you through exactly what I'd build for your Edge Hill business and why.
I build the site, set it up so Google can find it from day one, and you approve everything before it goes live.
Your site launches and locals searching Edge Hill on Google start finding you instead of your competitors.
Monthly check-ins so things keep working and nothing slips over time.
I'm based in Cairns and I work with businesses right across the region. Edge Hill is one of my favourite parts of the city to work with because the businesses there have genuine character. Have a look at all the areas I cover.
Straight answers, no runaround. These are the things I hear most often from local business owners before they get in touch.
Even loyal locals search on their phone before they decide where to go. If you're not showing up when someone searches "cafe Edge Hill" or "physio Edge Hill", you're missing people who would have chosen you if they'd found you first. Word of mouth brings them back. Google brings them in the first time.
Edge Hill suburb searches don't have a lot of competition, which means a properly built website can start showing up faster than you might expect. Most of my clients see movement within 60 to 90 days. The earlier you start, the sooner you're ahead of whoever else decides to get their act together.
Cafes, boutique retail, allied health, professional services and local trades. If you're in Edge Hill and you want more phone calls and bookings from locals who are already searching for what you do, we can probably work together. Have a read of the cafe and restaurant page or the professional services page to see if it fits.
Yes. Your domain and your website are yours from day one. No lock-in contracts, no holding your site hostage. If you ever want to move on, everything gets handed over without any fuss. That's just how it should be.
Every project is a bit different so the best thing to do is give me a call on 0455 836 000 and you'll have a real number within the first ten minutes. No vague answers, no surprises later.
Absolutely. Having a site that exists and having a site that Google can find are two very different things. I can take a look at what you've got, tell you honestly what's holding it back, and fix it. Check out the local Google search service page for more on how that works.
