From Tin Can Bay Road to the Digital Highway: Why Local Businesses Need Strong Online Presence

If you've ever tried explaining to tourists how to find Barnacles Café for dolphin feeding, you know the drill - "Yes, it's past the Yacht Club, no not THAT waterfront spot..." Just like giving those directions, having a clear online presence is essential for local businesses in Tin Can Bay and Cooloola Cove.

The Changing Tides of TCB & Cooloola Cove

Let's be honest - our little slice of the Great Sandy Strait isn't exactly Silicon Valley. And that's exactly how we like it. Between the morning trawler ritual and the Tuesday rush at the Cove shops, we've got our own perfect rhythm here.

But times are changing faster than the tide at Norman Point. Even our fishing fleet is posting their fresh catch updates on Facebook now (though I'm still waiting for the pelicans to start their own Instagram account).

Why Your Local Business Needs to Cast a Wider Net

Whether you're running a marine service at the marina or a cafe in the Cooloola Cove Shopping Centre, your customers are looking for you online. And if they can't find you? Well, they might just keep driving to Rainbow Beach instead (I know, I know - we're the REAL prawn capital).

Who's Looking For You Online?

• Tourists planning their dolphin feeding adventure
• Adult children researching services for their parents in the retirement community
• Sea-changers from the Sunshine Coast checking out local businesses
• Holiday makers looking for boat hire or fishing charters
