About Yellowhammer Digital

We started this because we kept watching good businesses lose customers just because of how they showed up online.

Who We Are

We're Andrew and Anna Alaniz, and we built Yellowhammer Digital out of frustration.

Andrew has spent nearly two decades working in technology and digital strategy — enough to understand how search engines work, how businesses get found online, and why most of the advice small businesses get about their digital presence is either wrong, overpriced, or both.

Anna holds a degree in photography and runs her own small business, Mountain Mage Herbals. She understands firsthand what it takes to build a customer base from scratch — and she brings a trained eye to every shoot we do.

We're based in Birmingham. We're just getting started, but we've done this work, we know how to do it, and we're building something we're proud of.

What We Keep Seeing

We work alongside small businesses regularly — contractors, retailers, service companies, shops of all kinds — and the same problems come up over and over.

A business that's been operating for fifteen years has a Google Business Profile that hasn't been touched since it was auto-generated. Their phone number is wrong on Yelp. Their website hasn't been updated since their last web guy disappeared. They have no photos anywhere. And they're losing jobs to a competitor who is objectively worse at the actual work — but easier to find and looks more legitimate online.

That's a solvable problem. It's not complicated. It just takes someone who knows what they're doing and will actually do it.

How We Work

When you work with Yellowhammer Digital, you work with us directly. We'll tell you what's actually wrong, what actually needs fixing, and what's not worth your money. We're not going to sell you services you don't need, and we're not going to make this more complicated than it has to be.

Yellowhammer Digital is a CipherNorth company. CipherNorth is a Birmingham-based cybersecurity and technology advisory firm — which means when it comes to understanding how the digital world works, we've spent a long time paying attention.
