Owen Nixon
Co-Founder, MCANIX
Owen Nixon is a co-founder of MCANIX, a Texas marketing and software company for hands-on industries — roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, remodeling, auto repair, landscaping, and manufacturing. He writes the MCANIX playbooks. Every post he publishes is dated, sourced to primary references, and updated when the facts change.
MCANIX’s three co-founders bring 15+ years of combined experience across marketing and software. Combined means added together: Owen Nixon, Tyndall McNamara and Anwar Mirza, all three named on our about page. It is not how long any one of us has done this, and it is not how long MCANIX has been in business. The same four numbers on our home page are the only credibility claims we make, and they stay the same on every page. No invented credentials, no borrowed client lists.
How I write
- Every number in a post links a primary source or names our own measurement with its date.
- Posts show published and updated dates; silent edits don't happen.
- Nothing is published under my name that I haven't read.
The retired-schema products we refuse to bill for are listed — with Google's own notices — at what we refuse to bill for.
No guest-post-farm bylines — posts on this site are written by the people named on them.
