Raceview Business Owners: Why Your Website Needs to Work as Hard as You Do
A local's guide to getting your Raceview business found online - from Robertson Road to the world wide web.
Picture this: It's 3pm on a Wednesday, and someone's stuck in the inevitable Robertson Road traffic, desperately searching their phone for a local tradie. Meanwhile, another new family that just moved into those houses near Goupong Park is looking for a hairdresser. The question is - will they find your business?
The Changing Face of Raceview Business
Let's be honest - Raceview isn't the sleepy suburb it used to be. Remember when Raceview Shopping Village was our only retail hub? These days, with development spreading faster than gossip at school pickup, your business needs to be where your customers are looking - online.
Fun fact: 87% of consumers now search online before visiting a local business. That's more people than those who get caught at the Robertson Road lights during school pickup! (Okay, maybe not quite that many...)
Why Your Website Matters More Than Ever
With Yamanto Shopping Centre pulling customers south and the Ipswich CBD revamp drawing them north, local Raceview businesses need to work smarter, not harder. Your website isn't just a digital business card - it's your 24/7 salesperson who never takes a smoko break.
Make sure your website loads faster than traffic moves on Robertson Road (which, let's face it, isn't setting a very high bar). A slow website can lose you customers faster than you can say "Raceview State School pickup zone."
Understanding Your Local Customer
Raceview's got a unique mix - from the RAAF families who've just moved in, to the old-timers who remember when it was all farmland. Your website needs to speak to all of them.

What Your Raceview Website Needs
1. Mobile-Friendly Design
Because let's face it, most of your customers are probably finding you while:
- Waiting in the Raceview Hotel carpark
- Killing time at school pickup
- Trying to avoid the Blackstone Road merge (we've all been there)
2. Local SEO That Actually Works
When someone searches "near me" while standing in Goupong Park, you want your business popping up faster than a P&C meeting reminder.
Did you know? Many Raceview businesses are missing out on local searches because their websites don't mention their location. It's like having a shop with no street number - technically it exists, but good luck finding it!
3. Clear Contact Information
No one should have to navigate your website like they're trying to find a shortcut around Robertson Road traffic. Make it easy for customers to reach you.

The Real Talk
Look, I get it. As a small business owner, your to-do list is probably longer than the queue at Raceview State School's drop-off zone. But here's the thing - while you're busy running your business, your website should be busy bringing you customers.
Start small but start smart. Even a simple website that loads quickly and shows your contact details is better than no website at all (or worse, that website your cousin's friend made in 2007).
