Hello! Let me introduce myself.

Hi! my name is Manuela, the founder of Local Keys Guide and the owner of Digital Keys Inc.—a creative little digital agency based right here in the Florida Keys.

I’ve spent years working in marketing, technology, sales, and operations (yep, the whole digital rodeo), and now I get to blend all that experience into something creative and meaningful, right here in the Florida Keys.

Digital Keys is a marketing agency where we build websites, create content, and help brands have an online presence. When I say “we,” I mean myself and my incredible husband, a retired web developer and software engineer turned offshore fishing captain who started his own dream charter business. These days, he keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes—when he’s not out chasing a sailfish, that is!

Now, somewhere between the content creation and the fishing, we started Local Keys Guide—a love letter to our island life and the locals who make it magic.

Local Keys Guide is our passion project. It’s our way of giving back using our skills to support the hidden gems, and local legends that make the Florida Keys so special.

You can submit your listing online—as long as you meet the criteria set—or just reach out, and we’ll happily assist and add it for you. So take a look around, discover something new, and if you ever need help with websites, content, or anything related to digital marketing—we’re right here!

Dreams don’t quit—neither should you.

We all carry stories—some heavier than others.

In my Keys Woman feature -page 38- I opened up about the struggles I’ve faced before getting to where I am now, and what it took to keep moving forward. It wasn’t always pretty, and it definitely wasn’t easy.. but passion and resilience walked with me every step of the way. If you’re chasing something that matters, don’t give up. Your story’s still unfolding. Trust the process.
