About Nambour Support Local Business Directory.

Firstly, a short introduction to who and why.  My name is Col Watt  (admin for Nambour Support Local ) you could possibly call me a Nambour local by now, as I was born in the Nambour Hospital in 1952 and still reside here today. I have been self employed for most of my working life, mostly in the construction industry and still operate a local business here today.

Having survived many a dry gully, I learned some valuable and sometimes expensive lessons about business over the years.

One of those important lessons is that operating and promoting a business in 2021  is a totally different ball game from ten to fifteen years ago.

In this era of extreme digital connectivity, success or struggle depends more than ever on strength of the online visibility and reputation of your business.

After making a  study of online local business marketing for more than 12 years and witnessing first hand, the great quality and friendly service of many small businesses in Nambour and surrounding areas, my goal is to produce a high quality, business directory, that allows the fast growing local community to realise we have great facilities right here, and they don’t have to race off to the coast for their shopping needs.

There is a community resource events calendar for promoting local community and charity or fundraising events, and the Blog page will be used to provide local businesses, with articles on general business topics and tips on marketing and promotion to improve their online visibility.

Our community resource website  is an online list or catalog of websites. That is, it is a directory on the World Wide Web of (all or part of) the World Wide Web. Historically, directories typically listed entries on people or businesses, and their contact information; such directories are still in use today. A web directory or what we like to call a community resource website, includes entries about websites, including links to those websites, organized into categories and subcategories. Besides a link, each entry may include the title of the website, and a description of its contents. In most web directories, the entries are about whole websites, rather than individual pages within them (called “deep links”). Websites are often limited to inclusion in only a few categories.
There are two ways to find information on the Web: by searching or browsing. Web directories provide links in a structured list to make browsing easier. Many web directories combine searching and browsing by providing a search engine to search the directory. Unlike search engines, which base results on a database of entries gathered automatically by web crawler, most web directories are built manually by human editors. Many web directories allow site owners to submit their site for inclusion, and have editors review submissions for fitness.
Web directories may be general in scope, or limited to particular subjects or fields. Entries may be listed for free, or by paid submission (meaning the site owner must pay to have his or her website listed).
