Results you can feel
Revenue, deposits, appointments, orders, booked calendars, and better-qualified leads matter more than vanity metrics.
Client reviews and results
Proof from clients who trusted DOYJO with real business outcomes.
The strongest reviews are not about clever design or technical jargon. They are about revenue, search visibility, better leads, responsive support, jobs protected, staff trained, and business owners staying in control of the systems behind growth.
Small business impact
First the site proved itself. Then it helped protect jobs.
In 2002, Dale Heunink tested four e-commerce and SEO providers with the same budget. Two competing sites made no sales, another made one sale under $200, and the DOYJO-built site produced more than $20,000 in its first month. After the site proved itself, Brian trained Dale’s internal team to manage and operate it.
Then came the 2008 downturn. Dale called because if more business did not come in, two jobs were at risk. After thirty days of focused site and search work, he called again with the kind of result that explains why DOYJO measures success by business impact.
“Brian, I don’t know how you do it, but I’m going to have to hire three new people to keep up with all of the new orders.”
The point is not a vanity traffic number. The point is orders, payroll, families, business continuity, client control, trained internal staff, and a system the business could keep improving.

“When finally making the decision to have an e-commerce website and SEO done for my business back in 2002, I talked to many different companies that provided optimized e-commerce websites. I was overwhelmed with all of the choices because they all sounded so knowledgeable and selected four of these providers, of which, I'm very glad that Brian Bateman was one. I provided these four different providers with a budget of $5,000 and asked them each, completely independent of one another, to build an SEO optimized e-commerce site and get the rankings. Each built what I thought were very nice websites, but at the end of the first year online, two had failed to make any sales at all and another had only made one sale for under $200. The site that Brian built for me was producing over $20,000 per month in sales and is always at the top of the search engines for "Vinyl Graphics" and thousands of specific search phrases. Obviously, Brian and his company became our ongoing e-commerce, SEO and Internet marketing company. After 10 years of unbeatable SEO, I asked Brian to train my team to completely manage our website, do the SEO and train us on other Internet marketing strategies. Even though Brian knew that this would reduce the amount of consulting hours we would purchase from him in the long run, he enthusiastically took on the task, trained our staff completely and even provided inside knowledge and tools to make sure that we were effective and efficient in our online marketing. I fully believe that if you need to hire an e-commerce, SEO or Internet marketing consultant to provide services or training, you cannot do any better than hiring Brian. If you want to succeed at earning a profit online, there is no one better.”

What the reviews keep saying
Clients stay when the work improves their position.

Plain-English judgment
Clients do not need more confusing jargon. They need options, guidance, and the reason behind the recommendation.
Responsive support
Clients call, email, and Zoom because the person supporting the work understands the business and the system behind it.
Client-owned control
Websites, domains, files, databases, email, analytics, ads, listings, and content should remain under business control.

“I joined the volunteer arm of the SBA called SCORE in September of 2013. I immediately noticed that their website could not be discovered via Google searches using keywords/phrases that our clients would typically employ. SEO LLC/Brian Bateman was recommended to me by another SCORE member so I contacted him to discuss our requirements. Brian immediately applied SEO tools which within a week resulted in our website being found and listed in organic searches as number 1, 2 or 3 on page 1. Today if you enter the search term "free business consulting Milwaukee", we come up as number 1 on page 1. Can't beat that!”
