ABOUT AUSTRALIAN WEBSITE AUTHORITY AND HOW IT CAME TO BE
THE START
Australian Website Authority was established in 2016.
Shane Lucas, Founder of Fuel Group and Australian Website Authority came up with the idea of rebranding and creating a new business for the online marketing and website division of Fuel Group.
THE MASTERMIND GROUP
In August 2015, Shane had the pleasure of participating in a Mastermind group with Dean Jackson. Dean is the Co-Founder of the “I Love Marketing” podcast along with Joe Polish. Dean is known throughout the marketing community as being a marketing genius.
Shane had been listening to the podcast for over 2 years and loved the philosophy behind the podcast. When the opportunity arose to take part in the
During the
THE MOMENT
It wasn’t till a few months later when Shane was discussing the business with a colleague that the idea dawned on him for the “Australian Website Authority”. He then checked with ASIC for the business name, checked that the domain was available, and then purchased and ordered the business name, and the relevant domains.
It was then that the “Australian Website Authority” was born.
NOT JUST A NAME
Part of the reason that Shane felt he had the justification to call his business “Australian Website Authority” was due to his continued consulting with other website designers over the past few years.
He found that over the last few years other website designers and online marketers were asking for his advice on website design and also on how to go about promoting a website once it was online.
He also wanted to help business owners make the best decision for their needs, and the best way to do that was to be in a position of authority and to publish a consumer guide. It was then that he went about authoring “8 Questions You Need To Ask Before You Hire A Website Designer” and “15 Things You Need To Know About Google AdWords”.
Both of these consumer guides were written with the purpose of educating business owners so they had the knowledge they needed to make an educated choice when choosing an agency to help them with their new website or online marketing needs.
Along with website design, Shane had been utilising Google Ads for his own business and for clients for a number of years, as well as Facebook Ads. He had experience in setting up and optimising his clients “Google My Business” accounts.
With extensive experience with Google Ads, Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google My Business, Google Webmaster Tools/Search Console, Copy Writing, WordPress and general online marketing, he knew that he had the grounds to use the business name “Australian Website Authority”.
