From Zero to Launch: A Simple Timeline to Get Your Business Online in Australia

You Don’t Need Months—You Need a Plan

Getting your business online might seem overwhelming at first, especially if you’re just starting out. But with the right steps, most Aussie startups can launch their online presence in 7 to 14 days—even with a small budget.

This guide walks you through the exact timeline and actions you need to go from idea to digital presence. No fluff, just practical steps.

Day 1–2: Register Your Business & Lock Down the Basics

Before anything else, get the foundations sorted.

Your essentials:

Tip: Do this step properly—you’ll use these details for years.

Day 3–4: Define What You’re Offering

What problem are you solving, and for who? You don’t need a 30-page plan. You need:

  • 1-sentence summary of what you do
  • A clear offer (product or service)
  • Simple pricing structure

This will shape your website, socials, and brand voice.

Day 5: Set Up Your Socials

Start with the big 2: Instagram and Facebook. Make sure your handle is available across platforms.

Add:

  • A clear bio
  • Contact info
  • Link in bio (can be your website or booking form)
  • One or two posts to show what you do

Later, expand to TikTok, LinkedIn, etc. depending on your audience.

Day 6–8: Build a Simple Website

You don’t need a flashy site—just a clean, clear one.

Start with a basic 4-page layout:

  • Home
  • About
  • Services or Products
  • Contact
Use platforms like:

Include your logo, brand colours, and a booking or enquiry form.

Day 9–10: Connect Everything

Make sure your socials link to your website.

Your email signature should include links.

Update your business info across platforms (Google Business Profile, Instagram, Facebook, etc.)

Test everything on mobile.

Day 11–14: Launch and Share

You’re ready. Now spread the word.

  • Post on socials
  • Email friends and family
  • Share in Facebook groups
  • Tell your network you’re open for business
Bonus Tip: Start Collecting Testimonials Early

First few customers? Ask them for reviews.

Put them on your website and social media. Social proof builds trust.

Don’t Wait for Perfect—Launch Smart

Your first version doesn’t have to be flawless. But it does need to exist.

You can refine, improve, and polish later. What matters is that your business is visible and active.
