Working with Wellington businesses
A real person, focused on getting you seen.
I’m Stu, a New Zealand-based digital marketer. I work with Wellington businesses, getting them found online and winning more work in a market 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 local Kiwi businesses need.
I’m not based in Wellington, but everything runs online, so distance is no barrier. You deal with someone who knows the market and actually does the work himself, not an overseas agency or an account manager reading from a script.

It gets your business found, chosen and called online in a compact, competitive market. It brings together your website, local SEO, Google Ads and AI search so Wellington customers find you first and pick you over the competition.

Is Wellington a competitive market for digital marketing?
Yes. Wellington packs government, tech, hospitality, professional services and trades into a compact city, so the same local searches are hotly 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 Wellington?
EightySix Digital is a New Zealand agency run by Stu Clark. I’m not based in Wellington, but I work with Wellington businesses and everything runs online, so distance is no barrier. You get someone who knows the market, dealing with the person doing the work.
Which Wellington areas do you cover?
All of Wellington and the wider Wellington region, including the city centre, Te Aro, Thorndon, Mount Victoria, Newtown, Karori, Miramar, Kilbirnie, and out to Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Porirua.
Should I use SEO or Google Ads for my Wellington business?
Both work well together. Google Ads gets you to the top of Google in Wellington today, ahead of the pack, while SEO builds local rankings that bring steady leads over time without paying per click.
