The short answer
We're a marketing agency that runs websites, SEO, ads and social under one roof for Fitzroy businesses, with one account manager keeping every channel consistent. That matters in Fitzroy, where customers include long term locals, international students and interstate or overseas visitors, and some of them search in languages other than English. Retainers are month to month.
A suburb with many kinds of customer
Fitzroy has always been a place where different communities meet. It has a long history as a home for migrant families and as a centre of Melbourne's Aboriginal community around Gertrude Street. Today its residents come from many backgrounds, including the families living in the Atherton Gardens estate, and its streets draw people from well beyond the suburb.
A lot of those people aren't locals. Students from the universities in Carlton, the city and Fitzroy itself walk down Brunswick Street every day. Visitors from interstate and overseas treat Fitzroy as a must see. Some of them search in Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, Spanish or another language, and many more search in English with a strong preference for businesses that can serve them in their own.
For a Fitzroy business, that raises practical questions. Should your menu or services page be in more than one language? Should your Google listing show the languages your staff speak? Should your ads target students or visitors differently from locals? Getting those answers right is hard when your website, SEO and ads are run by three different suppliers who never talk to each other.
Reaching different audiences with one plan
One plan across every channel.
Your account manager works out who your customers are, what they search for and which languages matter, then briefs the whole team from that plan.
Second language pages done properly.
Rather than machine translating the whole site, we add a small number of well written pages in the languages that matter to your customers, marked up so Google shows them to the right searchers.
Listings that show what you offer.
Your Google Business Profile can show services, attributes and a description that reflects who you serve. Our SEO team keeps it complete and consistent.
Ads aimed at different groups.
Google and Meta can target by language and location. We run separate campaigns for students, visitors and locals through paid search and Meta, with creative written for each rather than translated word for word.
Social content that travels.
Captions and posts that work for a mixed audience, handled by our social media marketing team.
One report.
All channels together, so you can see which audience is growing. The full list of services is on our marketing page.
How mixed audiences search around Fitzroy
Visitors and students often search "near me" on a phone, which means the map pack matters. Complete listings with photos, reviews and correct hours do well. Language specific searches are less contested, because few Fitzroy businesses have pages in other languages at all.
Competition in English is heavy for food, fashion and nightlife on Brunswick Street and Gertrude Street. Searchers also compare Collingwood, Carlton and Fitzroy North. We'll show you where your business appears in each after the audit.
