Jared Ledford is the Co-Founder of DeFyned SEO, a performance-driven digital marketing agency built for businesses that need more than traffic — they need real sales.
As the owner and operator of Dayton Barns & All Steel Buildings, Jared has spent years building and scaling multi-location, high-ticket sales organizations where marketing performance directly impacts revenue. That real-world experience is the foundation of DeFyned SEO. Every website, SEO strategy, and automation system is built with one goal in mind: turning qualified leads into closed deals.
DeFyned SEO specializes in high-converting website development, search engine optimization, and lead systems designed for growth-focused companies. Unlike agencies that chase vanity metrics, DeFyned focuses on measurable outcomes — lead quality, conversion rates, and long-term scalability.
Jared also brings leadership experience beyond business, serving in community and civic roles while advising companies across construction, manufacturing, and service industries. His approach blends strategy, execution, and accountability — building digital sales engines that work as hard as the businesses behind them.
Jeffrey Huxmann is the Co-Founder of DeFyned SEO, where he leads strategic growth, operational excellence, and client success initiatives that help businesses scale sustainably online. With a background in building and managing technology and business services companies, Jeff brings a unique blend of entrepreneurial leadership and digital marketing expertise to DeFyned SEO’s mission of driving measurable ROI for clients through high-performance SEO, conversion-optimized web platforms, and data-driven growth strategies.
Prior to DeFyned SEO, Jeff founded and managed HUXY, a business services company offering web development, SEO services, and virtual assistant support. He also co-founded TeleHux, further demonstrating his commitment to innovation and operational leadership.
Jeff's approach blends strategic insight with practical execution, ensuring that DeFyned SEO's clients not only attract qualified traffic but also convert that attention into predictable revenue. His strengths lie in building systems that align digital performance with business outcomes — from discovery and planning through implementation and optimization.
Morgan Imel is the Client Services Director at DeFyned SEO, where she oversees ongoing client strategy, marketing execution, and performance alignment across lead generation and social media initiatives.
