Websites, search visibility and advertising for local businesses, with direct advice from Anthony Holmes.
Let’s talk about your businessI’m Anthony Holmes, the person behind The Bearded Marketer, working with local businesses in Cairns and Townsville, and across the wider North Queensland region.
Every business has a different reason for looking at its marketing. You might want more consistent enquiries, different types of customers or a clearer understanding of what’s working.
I start by understanding your business and what you’d like to change. From there, we can explore whether your website, search visibility or advertising could better support your goals.
If your customers are in Cairns, start with digital marketing in Cairns. In Townsville, see digital marketing in Townsville.
I also work with businesses in Port Douglas, Atherton, Mareeba, Innisfail, Ingham and Ayr. See all locations.

Case study • Website design and local SEO
A calm website for a new Cairns midwife, built to be found.
A new private midwifery practice with a new domain and no online presence. Strategy, research and execution shaped a website that feels as personal as her care.
Automotive detailing
A mobile detailer who relied on word of mouth. The focus: a fast website built around the services locals search for, backed by local search work.
Barbering
A Stratford barbershop doing great work that needed to be easier to find. The focus: the map results and the searches locals make when they need a cut this week.
Hospitality
Flame grilled steaks on the Cairns waterfront. The focus: local search visibility for locals and visitors choosing where to eat.
Drone services
Drone footage this good needed a website to match. The focus: showing the work properly and making it easy for councils, builders and event organisers to get in touch.
Community partnership
A Trinity Beach football club I support through a community partnership. The focus: putting fixtures, teams and registration where families expect to find them.
