- Standing out matters more here. In a competitive city, showing up first is worth a lot.

Working with Vancouver 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 Vancouver, 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.
Vancouver is one of Canada's largest and most competitive markets, a stunning West Coast metro with strengths in tech, film, tourism, real estate and a busy construction and home-services sector serving a dense, fast-growing population. From downtown and Kitsilano out through Mount Pleasant and East Vancouver to surrounding communities like Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey and North Vancouver, customers search locally for services near them. In a competitive, high-cost market, a sharp website and strong local SEO are what get you found first.

Is Vancouver a competitive market for digital marketing?
Yes. Vancouver 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.
Are you based in Vancouver?
EightySix Digital is a New Zealand agency run by Stu Clark. I’m not based in Vancouver, but I work with businesses across Canada 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 Vancouver areas do you cover?
All of Vancouver and across the Lower Mainland, from downtown and the West End to East Vancouver, Kitsilano and the west side, North and West Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster, Richmond, and out to Surrey and the Fraser Valley.
Can you reach customers right across the Lower Mainland?
Yes. Greater Vancouver is spread from the ocean to the Fraser Valley, from downtown and the West End out to Burnaby, Richmond, the North Shore and Surrey. We build campaigns and pages that target the specific areas your customers are in, so you show up wherever across the Lower Mainland they search, not just the downtown core.
Should I use SEO or Google Ads for my Vancouver business?
Both work well together. Google Ads gets you to the top of Google in Vancouver today, ahead of the pack, while SEO builds local rankings that bring steady leads over time without paying per click.
