About
Hi! I’m Amanda Sides. I’m here to help you learn how to utilize search engine marketing to grow your business.
Mission
To educate and train small businesses and nonprofit organizations, setting them up to grow their businesses with targeted digital marketing efforts.
Who am I?
I’m a mom of three (and dog mom to a crazy Vizsla named Gunner; if you know Vizslas you know that's worth mentioning), currently splitting my time between baseball and ballet and using my experience in the search engine marketing industry to help others succeed.

Career
I began my career as a Junior Account Manager at Search Mojo (later renamed Marketing Mojo) in Charlottesville, VA, progressing to Account Manager and then Account Director, ultimately opening our satellite office in Charleston, SC continuing as an Account Director for a few more years.
With Marketing Mojo I managed accounts ranging from small local businesses to OEMs and national fast food chains and nonprofits, gaining a wealth of experience in the SEO and PPC industries.
During my time with Marketing Mojo I was regarded as an industry expert, appearing on multiple industry blogs and speaking at several digital marketing conferences.
I parted ways with my career momentarily to focus on raising my family, but ultimately couldn't stay away and opened Amanda Sides Digital to work part-time, sharing my knowledge with small businesses and nonprofits to help set them up for success in an ever-changing, complicated industry.
