This plan sequences the directory build against real local search demand: suburb hubs and business-name lookups first (they carry the outreach hook and the biggest combined volume), then the categories with the heaviest genuine search activity (dentists, medical centres, restaurants, cafes, massage/beauty), then the remaining trade and professional categories plus conversion features. No stage skips ahead of the demand data.
Launch the Directory Skeleton
Get the highest-value pages live first: the Rockingham-area suburb hubs that carry the biggest search volume, plus the individual listing pages for the businesses already on the outreach list. This is also the month outreach starts, using real search demand for each business's own name as the opening line.
