Tyler Lackey
Founder, Key City Digital
Tyler Lackey is the founder of Key City Digital — a Texas-based digital marketing agency built to help local businesses dominate their markets online.
With years of hands-on experience in web design, local SEO, and paid advertising, Tyler started building websites at a young age and later earned a full-stack web development certification from SMU. He went on to work in digital project management before launching Key City Digital to bring high-level marketing strategies to small and mid-sized businesses across Texas.
Tyler has helped generate hundreds of leads for local service businesses and has built and ranked websites that hit the #1 spot on Google in competitive markets. His approach is simple: results over fluff.
“Our mission is simple — give Texas business owners access to elite-level marketing, AI-powered tools, and high-converting websites without the bloated agency pricing. We turn everyday businesses into local legends.”

The system behind
the work.
Key City Digital is a done-for-you AI-powered growth agency. Our team sets up and runs the systems for local businesses. Humans own strategy. An AI crew runs the work.
The Key City Digital team leads every engagement.
Tyler Lackey
Founder & Lead Strategist
Founded Key City Digital in 2023. Runs strategy on every account. Decides what ships. Approves what Shepherd proposes. Reviews every edge case.
The AI crew handles execution at scale.
Our team sets the strategy. The crew executes it. You get results without the overhead.
Two values.
Zero compromise.
We're a marketing team that uses a system to bring you leads and help you close more jobs automatically.
We keep it simple because your business is busy enough. Every choice we make comes back to these two rules.
Results Over Activity
We track what matters: leads, phone calls, booked jobs, and revenue. If a task doesn’t move those numbers, we don’t spend your budget on it. You get reports you can read. You get results you can bank.
Texas Local-First
We built Key City Digital for Texas businesses. We serve contractors, clinics, restaurants, home service pros, and local brands. We know the markets, the customers, and the pace. Every plan is tuned for local wins.
