For Pets Sake: a rebuild and a domain move, with nothing lost on Google.

Manda took over the For Pets Sake pet shop on Murray Street, Angaston, in 2025. We rebuilt her website in the look she chose, moved the domain away from the old host and set up the local search groundwork. It went live on 5 October 2026, 16 of its 18 pages were indexed two days later, and Google showed the new site 3,540 times in its first three weeks (59 clicks, Search Console, 4 – 24 Oct 2026).

Before, the work and after

Before to September 2026

The shop first opened in 2013. Manda took it over as owner in 2025, but its website dated back to the previous owner and hadn’t been refreshed in years.

The domain sat with the old host.
Manda wanted something warmer and more upmarket, and had already put together the layout, fonts and photos she liked.

The work October 2026

A rebuild in Manda’s own look, laying out all 13 categories and the brands in each, the treats and special orders, the loyalty rewards and a simple order enquiry form.
The domain moved from the old host, with her shop email carrying on as normal.
Shop schema with the Murray Street address, hours and map pin, so pet owners in Angaston, Nuriootpa and Tanunda can find her.
A morning photographing the shelves, so the site shows the real shop.

After

Search Console · 4 – 24 Oct 2026

3,540 impressions and 59 clicks in the first three weeks on the new domain (4 – 24 Oct 2026, all searches, including the shop’s own name).

Search Console · 7 Oct 2026

16 of 18 pages indexed by Google two days after launch.

The honest bits

What the numbers don’t say.

No ranking claim. Searched for “pet shop barossa” on 25 Oct 2026, the map box showed a paid Petbarn listing, Petstock Country Barossa and The Farm Barn in Nuriootpa above For Pets Sake, which was 4th. We publish the search exposure, not a position.

The shop had history before us. It has traded on Murray Street since 2013, and its Google profile and reviews were carrying it before the new site.

Early days, and it includes the name. The new site went live on 5 October 2026, so there is no 28-day comparison yet, and the impressions include people searching for the shop by name.
