Michael Horne

Web + SEO, Property developer & business strategy

Hi, I’m Michael Horne — the founder of MGH Property and MGH Digital. I wear a few hats: business strategist, web developer, SEO consultant, and property developer. My goal is simple — to help clients build something lasting, whether that’s a thriving digital presence or a profitable property project.
Through MGH Property, I manage residential subdivision and renovation projects across Brisbane, transforming character homes and underused land into beautiful, functional spaces. With MGH Digital, I help small to medium businesses stand out online with tailored websites, SEO, and digital marketing strategies that drive real growth.
What ties it all together is a love of building — from backyards and branding to block splits and backlinks.
When I’m not on-site or at the desk, I’m at home with my wife and two young daughters. Family life keeps me grounded and fuels my passion for projects that add real value to people’s lives.
