Paul Staten is an Inc. 500 CEO and a serial entrepreneur. He has been in the trenches of business creation and cultivation. He has a wonderful wife and four kids at home including his adorable identical twin girls. You might be able to hear the story of how his twins came so quickly he was able to deliver them at home before any paramedics showed up. While he doesn't pass well for an OBGYN, that venture was a complete success!

He spends as much time as possible with his family after work but when he is not found at home, he is often out serving. It's not uncommon to find this CEO shoveling snow from driveways, helping neighbors move or serving with his local scout troop as a scoutmaster - and finding joy in the service. He is a religious person and believes his talents and successes come from blessings from a loving God. Religion gives him a moral compass that translates into all of his businesses and helps direct them for good. SEO Werkz was featured in the Inc 500 list of 2016 at #246. The first business he created is a computer repair service that still serves clients today, 10 years after it's inception.

He knows absolutely nothing about any sports teams, loves EDM and can sing pretty well - although American Idol rejected him. At least it didn't hurt his ego too much and he was able to get back to running his businesses.

What lead me to decide that my calling was going to be digital marketing was the day that I had ranked my first Search Engine Optimization (SEO) campaign, I had heard that I was able to help this business gain traffic and help them grow their business made me feel really good about the work that I put in.

Even if there's a 7400-mile gap between the business and my desk in the Philippines, as long as I can help them, I feel like I'm making a big difference.

Being a business owner myself in the past, I know what it takes to get the job done and have fun doing it. I have a passion for everything I do or I don't do it at all!

When I'm not at work, you will find me taking in new sights, and enjoying the California beaches with my wonderful husband, 2 precious bonus kiddos and beautiful daughter.

I love to serve and make others smile. I chose the digital marketing world because I love the fast pace of it. I also love being a part of helping businesses take off and do the "impossible."

SEO Werkz has (by far) been the most incredible company to work for. Not only do they know what they are doing, they have a strong foundation built on integrity! (It is hard to find all of that in one place)

Our customers don't just feel like they are just another number. They feel like a friend.

As the VP of Strategic Partners, I manage the strategy for multiple advertising campaigns working to determine with each business their goals and needs to develop a strategic plan, executing the best pieces of the digital advertising and marketing products to hit their goals.

I am a native Utahn and was raised on computers by my programmer mother. I have been an advertising professional for 20 years with a wealth of know-how in the online marketing field. While working at KSL, I saw firsthand SEO Werkz's abilities to optimize sites without contracts, while showing their work and getting real results.

I am helping business owners who have been burned by SEO companies in the past, they are frustrated by SEO promising results and not getting them, and concerned that they are signing a contract without any reporting on the work being done.

I am a highly-skilled sales professional and a consistent top performer. I pride myself in being attentive, prompt, and thorough when working with my clients and this has enabled me to continually surpass sales objectives and quotas. This has also helped me have great ongoing relationships and retention with the businesses I partner with.

For many years and most of her career, Daphne’s main focuses have always centered around establishing and maintaining relationships with those around her… from colleagues to customers and everyone in between. It was a no-brainer when asked to join the SEO Werkz team and oversee client services, that she'd jump at the opportunity. Her passion and care for people are what drive her desire to lead a team whose main goal is to help our clients succeed in their digital marketing quests.

A self-proclaimed “city girl”… Daphne was born and raised in Philadelphia and loves all things associated with being from a big city. From the skyline to the fast-paced nightlife and the fanatic sports team loyalties (Fly Eagles Fly!). She’s recently made Daybreak, Utah her home and is enjoying becoming part of the community by serving several local charities and getting involved in community events. When she’s not helping SEO Werkz conquer the internet marketing world, she’s spending time with friends and family, trying to convince her husband to get a new puppy, training to run another Ragnar, traveling, and exploring all the great things Utah has to offer… often with popcorn in one hand and a Coca-Cola in the other! She has not only found a great place to utilize her talents, but at SEO Werkz she has found a work family and a company that has built a strong foundation on integrity and transparency. If you ask her, she won’t hesitate to tell you she’s a “lifer” and proud to lead a progressive, inspired and successful team of individuals!

Julian started in the digital marketing world 3 years ago and immediately fell in love with it. I found a career that has room for techs and business people. This is an area that's ever-changing and there is always something new to discover. I have developed my project management skills by communicating with the squad more often and ensure all members are on board with delegated tasks.

When I am not working, I like to hang out with my friends and eat. I think it's a social thing. Food makes everything more fun and it's an awesome way to get your buddies together and connect.

I have a degree in B.S. in Architecture but it seems the universe has a different plan for me. From making architectural plans, designing structures, supervising building constructions, you’ll wonder why I ended up as a full-time PPC manager.

I have been working as a PPC manager for more than six years now and I have been with SEO Werkz for most of those years. PPC management doesn’t start and end with just building the account and getting traffic. Every account is unique, every client has their own goal so you have to optimize and design strategies for each and every account.

I think this is the reason why I fell in love with the craft. Being able to give these businesses sales or new clients is like knowing that you have contributed not just to the growth of our own company but to the businesses of the clients as well.

During my days off I usually spend it with my family going to the mall, watching movies, playing bingo, eating and traveling.

My career in Online Advertising can still be considered fresh since I’ve only started a couple of years ago. I know I have a long way to go and so many things to learn but knowing how dedicated I am and the amount of hard work I give each client per se can expect the job done more than what they expected me to deliver.

I’m a career-driven woman that just started making a mark at SEO Werkz, who’s very grateful to be part of the team ever since. I draw strength from my family and loved ones to be able to hit my goals and be who I am destined to be.
