SEO for Calgary businesses

Local SEO built around what Calgary 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 Canada.

I’m not based in Calgary, but local SEO is done online, so distance is no barrier. Calgary 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.

Calgary is one of Canada's biggest and fastest-growing business hubs, the heart of Alberta's economy with strengths in energy, finance, tech and a booming construction and home-services sector serving rapid population growth. From downtown and Kensington out through Inglewood and the Beltline to surrounding communities like Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks and Chestermere, 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.

    Local SEO puts your business at the top of Google and the Calgary map pack, exactly when they need you.
