Built around Darwin businesses
Mark has spent over 25 years in sales, business development and regional management across the Northern Territory, representing some of Australia's biggest brands throughout that time. That experience has given him a genuine understanding of what it takes for a business to grow in a region like the NT, and a network built on years of trust rather than quick wins.
Outside of Localsearch, Mark is deeply embedded in the local community and is co-founder of two local business and community initiatives, work that keeps him closely connected to the challenges NT business owners actually face. He's happiest when there's a challenge to solve, someone new to meet, or something worthwhile being built, and he brings that same energy to every client he works with.

Working with Mark
- Which areas does Mark cover?
- Mark Barnes looks after businesses in Darwin, including Darwin, Alice Springs and the surrounding region. Visits are in person where it's practical, and over video where that's easier for you.
- What happens in a strategy session with Mark?
- It's a free, no-obligation conversation, usually 30 to 45 minutes, online or in person. Mark reviews how your business currently shows up in Google search, Maps and on your own website, compares that with other businesses competing for the same Darwin customers, and gives you a plain-English plan of what to fix first. There's no requirement to buy anything.
- What kinds of businesses does Mark work with?
- Local, owner-run businesses across trades and construction, health and beauty, automotive, retail, hospitality and professional services. Localsearch has worked with Australian small businesses since 1993, and Mark handles Darwin accounts directly rather than passing them to a call centre.
- How do I get in touch with Mark?
- Pick a time straight from Mark's calendar using the booking button on this page, or call Localsearch on 0419 772 732.
