Search in Cairns is local in a particular way. Because most of the metro sits under one council, Cairns Regional Council, the council name rarely splits the market. People use suburb and beach names instead: Smithfield, Trinity Beach, Edge Hill, Redlynch, Edmonton, Mount Sheridan, Palm Cove.
Many also use the phrase northern beaches, which covers a long string of suburbs on the Captain Cook Highway. Visitor searches crowd the results for anything near tourism, so a firm selling to residents needs pages that leave no doubt they serve locals.
Seasonal demand matters: air conditioning, mould and storm searches climb with the heat and the wet, while property searches move with sales, lettings and the holiday trade.
For real estate, realestate.com.au and Domain own the listing searches, so property managers do better with phrases such as property manager Edge Hill.
