The basics
What does digital marketing for Adelaide businesses do?
Digital marketing in Adelaide is how a business gets found, chosen and called online in a competitive Adelaide market. It brings together your website, local SEO, Google Ads and AI search so Adelaide customers find you first and pick you over the competition.
EightySix Digital is a New Zealand digital marketing agency that works with businesses across Australia and New Zealand, helping them get found online and win more work in busy markets. One person, the whole growth engine, no big-agency runaround.
- Standing out matters more here. In a competitive city, showing up first is worth a lot.
- A competitive local market. You’re competing for the same Adelaide customers as everyone else, where getting found first is the whole game.
- A real person, not an agency. Plain English, and the person you talk to does the work.
Working with Adelaide businesses
A real person, focused on getting you seen.
I’m Stu, a New Zealand-based digital marketer. I work with businesses across New Zealand and Australia, getting them found online and winning more work in markets where standing out is half the battle. With 15+ years in the trades and over a decade running my own business behind me, I get what small local businesses need.
I’m not based in Adelaide, but everything runs online, so distance is no barrier. You deal with someone who actually does the work himself, not a faceless agency or an account manager reading from a script.
Adelaide is the capital of South Australia, a well-planned and affordable city with a growing defence, manufacturing, health and wine-industry economy and a strong local trades sector. Its orderly, spread-out layout across the CBD, coast and Adelaide Hills means customers search locally for services in their own area. With a competitive but less saturated market than the eastern capitals, well-optimised businesses can build strong local visibility and win a steady flow of nearby work.

Is Adelaide a competitive market for digital marketing?
Yes. Adelaide is a major Australian city, so the same local searches are keenly contested and standing out is worth a lot. That makes showing up first, with a fast site and sharp local SEO and ads, more valuable here than in a quieter town.
Are you based in Adelaide?
EightySix Digital is a New Zealand agency run by Stu Clark. I’m not based in Adelaide, but I work with businesses across Australia and New Zealand and everything runs online, so distance is no barrier. You get someone who does the work himself, not an account manager reading from a script.
Which Adelaide areas do you cover?
All of Adelaide and across South Australia, including the CBD, North Adelaide, Norwood, Glenelg, Prospect, Unley, Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills, out to Elizabeth, Noarlunga and Gawler.
Should I use SEO or Google Ads for my Adelaide business?
Both work well together. Google Ads gets you to the top of Google in Adelaide today, ahead of the pack, while SEO builds local rankings that bring steady leads over time without paying per click.
What types of Adelaide businesses do you work with?
All sorts, from trades and home services to retail, hospitality, health and professional services. Adelaide has a strong local trades and services market, and that’s where local marketing pays off most.
