Hi! I’m Sara, the founder of Mannix Marketing.

We’re a digital marketing agency based in the U.S, and we’ve been helping businesses grow online since 1996. Our work focuses on delivering real, measurable results - especially in PPC, SEO, and web design - and we’re proud to support a wide range of clients, from local companies to national brands.
