-- As Australia’s outdoor living industry continues to expand, new data reveals that digital visibility has become one of the most influential factors shaping customer decisions. PurpleCow Digital Marketing, an SEO agency based in Scarborough, has released insightful findings on how online search behaviour is transforming the outdoor blinds, shutters, and home-improvement markets across Brisbane and Southeast Queensland.
Over the past two years, search trends show a significant increase in homeowners relying on Google to compare outdoor living solutions. Searches for terms such as “outdoor blinds Brisbane,” “patio shutters installation,” and “shade solutions near me” have risen steadily, reflecting a broader shift toward digital-first decision-making. This shift has intensified local competition, with many businesses discovering that traditional referrals and offline advertising alone are no longer sufficient for steady lead flow.
PurpleCow Digital Marketing has been analysing these behavioural patterns while working closely with outdoor living companies across the region. Their observations highlight several factors now influencing customer enquiries:
Local Search Is Becoming the New Battleground
Service-area suburbs like Redcliffe, North Lakes, Chermside, and Caboolture now show large differences in ranking difficulty. Businesses with suburb-based landing pages and structured content strategies are consistently outperforming those relying on generic website pages.
Mobile Experience Is Driving Lead Conversions
More than 70% of outdoor living searches happen on mobile devices. Many small businesses, however, still struggle with slow load times, oversized images, or unclear mobile navigation — factors that directly affect enquiries during peak seasons such as summer and early autumn.
Google Maps Activity Has More Influence Than Expected
With the rise of “zero-click searches,” many customers take action directly from Google Maps without visiting a website. Updated photos, accurate operating hours, and consistent reviews have shown a measurable impact on lead quality, especially for businesses servicing multiple suburbs.
Homeowners Are Seeking More Specific, Localised Information
Instead of broad product descriptions, users increasingly look for practical answers:
- “How much do outdoor blinds cost for a patio?”
- “What materials last longest in Brisbane humidity?”
- “Which suburbs do you service?”
This shift has prompted outdoor living businesses to adopt structured, educational content models rather than generic promotional pages.
Angie Neal, Press Contact for PurpleCow Digital, notes that the agency’s research is designed to help businesses understand real customer behaviour rather than follow one-size-fits-all marketing approaches. “Brisbane’s outdoor living market is unique,” Neal explains. “Different suburbs have different search patterns, and customers want real clarity. When businesses structure information around user intent, enquiry rates naturally improve.”
These insights come at a time when outdoor living businesses face increasing competition from both local operators and online-only suppliers. As digital expectations continue to evolve, the research suggests that companies investing in accurate local SEO, mobile-friendly website layouts, and educational content will be better positioned to maintain visibility in 2025 and beyond.
