Thoughts on the future of housing in Canberra?

Have your say in shaping the future of housing in Canberra. 🏡

With Canberra's population set to reach 700,000 by 2050, the ACT Government is planning for 30,000 new homes over the next five years.

Changes to suburban zoning and new design requirements will deliver an increased supply of high quality and sustainable 'missing middle' housing types across our city.

The ‘missing middle’ includes homes that are somewhere between detached standalone houses and medium-high-rise apartments, such as multi-occupancy houses on a block, townhouses, terrace homes and low-rise apartments.

But it's not just about building more homes; it's about creating homes that blend seamlessly into our suburbs.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, ageing in place or simply seeking more housing choices, we want to hear from you.

✅ EASY SEO Tips for Tradies to get More Jobs in Canberra ✅

If you’re a tradie in Canberra, having a strong local online presence is essential for attracting new customers. Local SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) helps your business appear in search results when people in your area look for services like yours. Here are five key tips to boost your visibility and get more jobs.

--

1. Optimise Your Google My Business Profile

Google My Business (GMB) is crucial for local SEO. Ensure your profile is fully updated with your business name, phone number, address, website, and services. Add high-quality photos and encourage customers to leave reviews.

2. Use Location-Specific Keywords
Incorporate Canberra-based keywords in your website content, such as “plumber in Canberra” or “Canberra electrician.” Use these keywords naturally in your website pages, blog posts, and meta descriptions to rank higher in local searches.

3. Get More Google Reviews
Positive reviews build trust and improve your Google rankings. After completing a job, ask happy clients to leave a review on your GMB profile. More reviews = higher credibility = more leads.

4. Build Local Citations
Ensure your business is listed consistently across local directories like Yellow Pages, Oneflare, and TrueLocal. Search engines trust businesses with consistent Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) details.

5. Create Location-Based Content
Write blog posts or service pages about specific areas in Canberra. For example, “Best Plumbers in Tuggeranong” or “How to Find a Reliable Electrician in Belconnen.” This helps Google connect your business with local searches.

🔥 How Digital Marketing Can Boost Word-of-Mouth Referrals for Tradies in Canberra 🔥

Word-of-mouth referrals are crucial for tradies in Canberra, but in today’s digital world, they go beyond face-to-face recommendations. With the right digital marketing strategies, you can amplify your reach and turn happy clients into powerful advocates for your business.

Here’s how:

1. Encourage & Showcase Online Reviews

Google and Facebook reviews act as digital word-of-mouth, influencing potential customers. After completing a job, follow up with a thank-you message and a direct link to leave a review. Share glowing testimonials on your website and social media to build trust.

2. Leverage Social Media for Referrals

Encourage clients to tag your business when posting about completed work. Run social media contests or referral promotions where customers who recommend your services get a small reward. Engaging content, like project before-and-after photos, keeps your business visible in their feeds.

3. Use Email Marketing to Stay Top-of-Mind

Send past clients occasional emails with home maintenance tips, seasonal offers, and referral incentives. A simple “Refer a friend and get 10% off your next job” keeps your services fresh in their minds.

4. Optimise Your Website for Easy Sharing

Add a “Refer a Friend” button and make leaving reviews effortless. Feature client testimonials and social proof to encourage more referrals.

5. Run Targeted Ads to Your Happy Customers

Use Facebook and Google Ads to retarget past clients with friendly reminders and special referral offers, turning satisfied customers into repeat clients and referrers.
