Why Collingwood Park Businesses Need Great Websites (And No, Being Close to Redbank Plaza Isn't Enough)
A local's guide to getting your Collingwood Park business found online - because there's more to life than catching Plaza traffic.
Picture this: You're sitting at the Jones Road lights, watching what feels like half of Brisbane crawl past on the M2. Your business is right there, but somehow those potential customers keep rolling by. Meanwhile, their passengers are probably on their phones, searching for exactly what you offer - but are they finding you?
G'day! I'm Jaclyn, and after years of helping local businesses get found online (and spending way too much time stuck at those same traffic lights), I've learned a thing or two about what Collingwood Park businesses need to thrive in the digital age.
The Changing Face of Collingwood Park Business
Remember when Collingwood Park was just "that quiet bit between Redbank and Goodna"? These days, we're seeing new estates pop up faster than M2 roadworks (if that's even possible).With all these new families moving in, plus our steady stream of commuter traffic, local businesses have a massive opportunity - if they can get noticed.
Fun fact: While you're reading this, about 15 people have probably Googled "near me" searches in Collingwood Park. The question is - are they finding your business, or heading to the Plaza instead?
Why Your Local Website Matters (More Than You Think)
Let's be honest - having a shop near Jones Road or the Sports Complex is great for passing traffic. But here's the thing: before people pass by, they're searching online. And if your digital presence is as outdated as those "roadworks ahead" signs we've been seeing since 2019, you're missing out.
If you're wondering whether your website needs work, try this: Pull out your phone and Google your business type + "Collingwood Park." If you're not on the first page, we need to talk.
The Local Advantage (And How to Keep It)
Being a local business used to mean everyone knew you. These days, with new families moving into those estates near Banjo Drive every week, your online presence needs to work as hard as you do.
Local SEO isn't just a fancy term
- it's about making sure when someone searches for your services in Collingwood Park, they find you before they find the big chains at the Plaza.

Mobile-First (Because Nobody Carries Their Desktop on the M2)
Whether they're stuck in traffic at the Redbank exit or waiting for the kids at Collingwood Park State School, your customers are on their phones. Your website needs to look as good on mobile as your storefront does in real life.
Local Focus, Global Standards
You might be competing with Redbank Plaza for foot traffic, but online, you're up against the world. That doesn't mean you need all the bells and whistles - you just need to do the basics brilliantly:
- Fast loading times (faster than the M2 during peak hour)
- Clear contact details and directions
- Local area keywords and content
- Mobile-responsive design
The biggest mistake I see? Businesses thinking a Facebook page is enough. While social media is great, not having your own website is like only accepting cash in 2024 - you're missing out on a huge chunk of potential customers.
Making Your Mark in a Growing Community
Collingwood Park is changing, and fast. Between the new housing developments and our evolving business landscape, there's never been a better time to establish your digital presence.
Keep your website content local and relevant. Mention nearby landmarks, participate in community events, and show you're part of the fabric of Collingwood Park - not just another business trying to catch Plaza overflow.
