SEO for Bristol businesses
Local SEO built around what Bristol customers search.
EightySix Digital is a New Zealand SEO agency that helps businesses get found on Google and in AI search.
I’m Stu, a New Zealand-based SEO specialist. I know how local search works, the “near me” searches, the map pack and the Google Business Profile signals that win local work, and I do SEO for businesses across New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
I was born in Bristol, though I’m based in New Zealand now, and local SEO is done online, so distance is no barrier. Bristol is a competitive market, so standing out in the local results is worth a lot, and I target the real searches your customers use and do the work myself. No fluff, no jargon, just more of the right calls.
Bristol is the largest city in the South West of England and one of the UK's most dynamic, home to a thriving mix of aerospace and engineering, tech and digital, creative industries, and a strong independent trades and hospitality scene. From Clifton and Redland to Bedminster and the harbourside, customers search locally for services near them. In a competitive and fast-growing city, a fast website and sharp local SEO are what separate the businesses that get found from those buried below the competition.
