“I’ve worked with many bigger agencies before, but I like Jonathan’s availability. He’s easy to deal with and I feel like he’s been leading us down the right path. Now I’m getting probably some of the best responses I’ve gotten in the last 5 years. I’d say it’s been money well spent. We’re accomplishing our goals and I’m curious to see where he takes us.”

“I have some experience in sales and marketing, but only while working at large operations. As a solopreneur I find I’m in a really poor echo chamber of ONE. Jonathan really helps me improve my game by bringing great ideas of his own but also kicking the tires on mine. And while I’m fairly good at messaging, frankly, he’s just better at it. Being an Action Stations subscriber started paying for itself in the first week!”

I met with Jonathan just once, but it changed how I approach my sales process. Jonathan immediately saw something I hadn’t, and offered a piece of advice that none of my other advisors (including some seasoned operators) had mentioned. It was unconventional, but exactly right. Since then, my calls have gone better, I’m closing more effectively, and real momentum is back in my pipeline. If you’re stuck, set up a meeting. Exactly one coffee unlocked a new level for me and my company.

“Working with Jonathan was great. When analyzing our web traffic and SEO strategy his experience really shows. He provided insights and ideas we hadn’t considered. Ultimately, he recommended some SEO strategies that helped us double our organic traffic in the last 6 months.”

“One of the best experiences I have ever had working with people. Jonathan is a very thoughtful, authentic and passionate person. He understood what I was trying to do, shared the vision of my plans and helped me put it into words and express it more confidently. For me, that meant my startup grant application was done in a very short amount of time and I submitted before the deadline. I would happily recommend Jonathan for anything that can help you in your entrepreneurship journey.”

“Jonathan was one of the first people we met in St Louis, and he has helped us a lot, especially on our first steps in the city, telling us about the Arch Grants Application, helping us on our crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo and sharing his network with us. The Arch Grants Recipient Award was very important to Key2Enable to establish ourselves in St. Louis and in the United States. With his help, we were able to create a successful launch campaign on IndieGoGo and keep growing strong with the help of lots of people that Jonathan has introduced to us.”

“When WayLit was applying for startup funding from Arch Grants, Jonathan was super helpful. We wanted to make sure our company communicated the vision succinctly and vividly. He helped us with everything from simple word substitutions to making the overarching narrative as compelling as possible. We did win an Arch Grant in 2019 and I’m grateful for the fantastic advice from Jonathan.”

“We partnered with Jonathan to develop a weekly online talk show focused on the fast-growing St. Louis startup scene. While our initial collaboration was meant to be just an experiment, our relationship grew from there. Whether it was a referral to a new client or an introduction to an ideal guest, Jonathan has always been ready and willing to help us take the next crucial step in the right direction. Through our partnership, he was even able to secure a featured interview booth for us at the Midwest Digital Marketing Conference, where we met many of the event’s top speakers! If given the opportunity to partner with Jonathan, I would strongly recommend doing so.”

“Jonathan’s mentorship was a great blessing during my participation in UMSL’s startup competition program, Entrepreneur Quest. Jonathan gave so much effort and attention to all of the individuals he helped. There have been countless times he would provide loads of information to me—pouring into me, encouraging me, pushing me to think outside the box and ultimately challenging me. So much that an idea became reality within a matter of weeks with his help. I was seeking advice on a concise pitch. He helped tremendously with wording, instilling confidence in me along the way. I appreciate the genuine experience I had learning from Jonathan.”

“To me, entrepreneurship is about asking oneself the important questions. And how you choose to answer these questions can be the difference between creating something successful, or something not-so-much. Jonathan was extremely instrumental during the investigation phase. He never did the work for us, he simply inquired. Questions like how do you plan to target your target market, what message are you sending them, and WHY are you sending them this message are all questions that helped position ourselves.”

“I’d never met a marketing person I actually liked until working with Jonathan – most throw generic advice without understanding your specific situation. He listens, absorbs what you’re telling him, then asks the right questions that make everything click. I was getting traffic but had no clue what to do with it; and instead of suggesting ‘more Facebook ads’, he helped me understand who those visitors were and why they weren’t converting. The strategy wasn’t just random tips — everything connected and made perfect sense for my business. Two months later, I’m still implementing everything we discussed because his approach focuses on what matters – making money, not chasing vanity metrics.”

“SEO has propelled our business growth — our content platform is among the fastest in our industry. Our success was powered by strategies, tactics and advice from Jonathan Allen. He came through for us, helping us cut through the noise about SEO, to get down to the nuts and bolts of building a successful web platform. If you’re trying to grow a content platform, or just trying to wrap your head around whether SEO is the right strategy for your business, I strongly recommend that you take the time to speak with Jonathan and leverage his expertise.”
