Working with Edmonton 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 Canada, 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 Edmonton, 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.
Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and one of Canada's biggest and fastest-growing cities, with an economy built on energy, government, education and a strong construction and home-services sector. From downtown and Old Strathcona out through Oliver and the west end to surrounding communities like St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove and Leduc, customers search locally for services near them. In a fast-growing, competitive market, a sharp website and strong local SEO are what get you found first.

Is Edmonton a competitive market for digital marketing?
Yes. Edmonton is one of Canada’s largest cities, so the same local searches are fiercely 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.
