Parkwood Business Owners: Why Your Website Needs to Be As Central as Ashmore City Shopping Centre
A local's guide to getting your Parkwood business found online - no roundabout directions needed!
If you've ever tried giving directions to your Parkwood business using the infamous Ashmore roundabouts as reference points, you know the importance of being easy to find. Just like navigating those tricky intersections near the TAFE, getting discovered online needs a clear path for your customers.
Why Parkwood Businesses Need to Get Online (And Get It Right)
Let's be honest - while the beachfront businesses are fighting over tourist dollars like seagulls at Surfers Paradise, we've got something better here in Parkwood: a rock-solid local community that keeps coming back. But here's the thing - even your most loyal customers are looking you up online first.
Did you know that 87% of shoppers start their search online - even when they're planning to buy locally? That's more people than those who know the secret shortcut through the TAFE grounds during peak hour!
The Parkwood Business Advantage
Being located in the sensible heart of the Gold Coast already gives you a leg up. You're perfectly positioned between Southport and Nerang, with easy access to both the M1 and the coast. But are you making the most of this prime position in the digital world?
Just like picking the perfect parking spot at Ashmore City, your website needs to be in the right place at the right time - on Google's first page when locals are searching.
What Makes a Great Parkwood Business Website?
Mobile-Friendly Design
Remember trying to read a menu board while stuck in the TAFE traffic? That's what a non-mobile-friendly website feels like. Your site needs to be as easy to navigate as The Tav on a Friday night.
Local SEO That Actually Works
When someone searches "near Ashmore TAFE" or "Parkwood area", you want to pop up faster than a P-plater at a roundabout. Local SEO isn't just about keywords - it's about speaking the local language.
Clear Contact Information
No more directions that start with "You know where the old video shop used to be?" Make it dead simple for customers to find you, both online and in real life.

Understanding Your Local Market
Whether you're serving up coffee to bleary-eyed TAFE students or helping homeowners tackle those classic brick-and-tile renovation projects, your website needs to connect with the right crowd.
The biggest mistake I see Parkwood businesses make? Having a website that looks like it was built back when Ashmore City first opened. Your online presence should be as current as your business practices.
The Real Cost of Not Being Online
Think about it - when a local needs an emergency plumber at 2 AM (probably because of those 1980s pipes we all know and love), they're not driving around looking at shop fronts. They're on their phone, searching for help.
Your website should be working harder than an apprentice on their first day at TAFE - 24/7, no smoko breaks needed!
Making Your Mark in the Digital Space
Just like how Parkwood has carved out its identity as the practical, no-nonsense heart of the Gold Coast, your website needs to reflect your business's unique character. No need for Surfers Paradise glitz - just solid, reliable online presence that gets the job done.
