About Me

Strategy with
a soul.

I'm Ashley Sara — a Digital Growth & Search Experience Architect based in Cedar City, Utah. I hold a degree in Strategic Communications from Southern Utah University, and I've spent 6+ years building digital experiences that are discoverable, accessible, and built to convert.

At Southern Utah University, I lead SEO and Google Ads for Graduate & Online programs. At Elevation Tech, I partner with small businesses to build full-funnel strategies from organic search to paid campaigns. And through Ashley Sara Marketing, I bring that same approach to independent clients.

I'm passionate about data-driven, user-first digital growth — and I leverage analytics, AI tools, and cross-functional collaboration to help brands stand out in a crowded landscape.
