A cafe's site for Canberra
People search by district, such as Belconnen, Tuggeranong or the inner north, and expect a business to look clear, organised and easy to deal with. Canberra is a planned city laid out around Lake Burley Griffin, with separate town centres in districts like Belconnen, Woden and Gungahlin and bush reserves in between.
Cold mornings around Canberra make a hot drink and a warm seat a reason to stop. Show the room with the heater on, put hot breakfasts first and say if you do soup in winter. In a place the size of Canberra, the cafe is part of the morning routine, so the site only needs to keep up with it: current hours, today's specials and a way to order ahead for people in a hurry. Students around Canberra use cafes to study and meet. Say whether there's wifi and power points, how late you stay open and whether a table is fine for a couple of hours with a coffee. New estates around Canberra are short of places to meet, so a cafe becomes the neighbourhood's front room. Show the families and the pram brigade, say you welcome them and mention play space if you've got any.
Name the places you really work, the way people type them: Civic, Belconnen and Gungahlin, not just Canberra.

The rules that shape the words
Where you sell alcohol, your state's liquor advertising rules reach the website too, so check them before posting a drinks deal.
If a drink price includes a card fee, a weekend loading or a takeaway charge, the price shown should be the total a customer pays.

Cafes in Canberra: questions
- How do I get office catering orders?
- Give it a page: what you can supply, how much notice you need, delivery or pickup, and a form for the date, headcount and dietary needs. Office managers order from whoever makes that easy, and they'd rather not phone a cafe in the morning rush.
- Do I really need to say whether dogs and prams are welcome?
- Yes, a line each. People search dog friendly cafe because they've been turned away before. Say where dogs can sit, whether there's room for a pram and whether the door is step-free. It's a small thing that decides where a group goes.
- How should a Canberra cafe deal with Queanbeyan customers?
- Say plainly that you cover both sides of the border. Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra people look up Canberra businesses, and many do not know whether a firm crosses into New South Wales. One line on your site and in your Google profile saves the question.
