Web, social and brand for local businesses

Get found by the people down the road.

Built Local makes websites, social and brands for local businesses, so the next person searching for what you do finds you, trusts you and gets in touch.

Good at the job. Hard to find online.

Plenty of local businesses run on word of mouth and a Facebook page. That works until someone new searches Google, or asks an AI assistant, and finds the business down the road instead.

We fix that from end to end: a website that loads fast on a phone, a brand that looks like you mean it, and the setup behind the scenes so search engines know who you are and where you work.

Measured, not promised

Our first launch, by the numbers.

An 11-page website for Lachie's carpentry and construction business, working across the Central Coast, Newcastle and Sydney.

How a project runs.

  1. Discovery

    We talk through your business, your customers and the areas you want to reach.

  2. Plans

    We map out the pages and the words, and pull together your brand and photos.

  3. Build

    You get a private preview link to check. Nothing goes live until you've seen it.

  4. Handover

    We connect your domain, test your forms and give you a report with your starting numbers.

  5. Check-in

    Three months later you get a second report showing what's changed.

The straight deal.

  • Your domain stays yours. It's registered in your name and your ABN, not ours.
  • You deal with the people doing the work. No account managers in the middle.
  • Real numbers only. Reports show what was measured, including what hasn't moved yet.
  • No made-up reviews. We'd rather show nothing than something fake, on your site or ours.
