Working with Winnipeg 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 Winnipeg, 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.
Winnipeg is the largest city in the Prairies and the economic hub of Manitoba, with a diverse, affordable economy spanning manufacturing, finance, transportation and a steady construction and home-services sector. From downtown and the Exchange District out through Osborne Village and St. Boniface to surrounding communities like St. James, Charleswood, Headingley and Selkirk, customers search locally for services near them. In a competitive market, a sharp website and strong local SEO are what get you found first.

The commercial heart of the city. We put you in front of the customers searching for services, hospitality and trades from the Forks to Portage Avenue.
St. Boniface & the east
St. Boniface, St. Vital and the eastern neighbourhoods along the Red River, established communities that back trusted local businesses.
River Heights & the south
River Heights, Fort Garry and the southern suburbs, leafy, well-established areas where customers look for quality local operators.
St. James & the west
St. James, Assiniboia and the western suburbs out toward the airport, a busy mix of homes and businesses where near-me searches run hot.
Transcona & the northeast
Transcona and the northeast, a tight-knit part of the city with a strong trades and home-services market that searches nearby.
North Winnipeg
The North End, Garden City and the northern suburbs, a large share of the city’s households searching for local services close to home.
Headingley & the outskirts
Headingley, Charleswood and the edge-of-city communities, where sharp local marketing wins the work over the big out-of-town names.

What does digital marketing for Winnipeg businesses involve?
It gets your business found, chosen and called online in a competitive market. It brings together your website, local SEO, Google Ads and AI search so Winnipeg customers find you first and pick you over the competition.

It depends on the mix. A website starts from $1,300 one-off, SEO from $480/mo, and Google Ads management from $650/mo plus your ad budget. Most Winnipeg businesses combine two or three, and I build a tailored plan around your goals and budget. Prices in CAD. See full pricing →
Is Winnipeg a competitive market for digital marketing?
Yes. Winnipeg is the largest city in the Prairies, 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 Winnipeg?
EightySix Digital is a New Zealand agency run by Stu Clark. I’m not based in Winnipeg, 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 Winnipeg areas do you cover?
All of Winnipeg and across the surrounding Manitoba region: downtown and the Exchange District, St. Boniface and the east, River Heights and the south, St. James and the west, Transcona and the northeast, North Winnipeg, Headingley and the outskirts, and out to communities like Selkirk, Steinbach and Stonewall.
Should I use SEO or Google Ads for my Winnipeg business?
Both work well together. Google Ads gets you to the top of Google in Winnipeg today, ahead of the pack, while SEO builds local rankings that bring steady leads over time without paying per click.
Does digital marketing work year-round in Winnipeg’s seasonal market?
Yes. Winnipeg’s four-season climate shifts what customers search for, from furnaces and snow removal in winter to landscaping and renos in summer, but demand never stops, it just moves. We plan your web, SEO and ads around those seasonal swings so you stay visible and keep the inquiries coming all year.
