About us

We started Vibe Search Local because too many business owners get locked into packages, sent reports nobody understands and left on their own once the invoice is paid. We do it differently: clear advice, fixed quotes and work we’re proud to put our name on, for businesses across Melbourne and Australia-wide.

FAQs

Website design & SEO questions, answered.

We don’t rush it. We take the time to get the design and details right, because that’s what makes a website work well for your business. Most websites take at least a week, depending on how big the site is, and we’ll confirm the timeline in your quote.

Just the basics: your logo if you have one, a list of your services, some photos of your work and a few websites you like the look of. If you don’t have everything ready, that’s fine. We’ll guide you through it.

We build every website on WordPress, the world’s most popular website platform. It’s secure, fast and flexible, so your site can grow with your business, whether that’s new pages, online bookings or a shop later on.

Your website is yours: you own the site and everything on it. If you’d rather not deal with updates yourself, our ongoing support takes care of them for you.
