Donna Donahue
Dee Dee Digital · Mesa, Arizona
Dee Dee Digital started in 2019 because Donna kept hearing the same story from local business owners: they'd spent thousands on digital marketing and had nothing to show for it. The problem wasn't effort. It was that the strategy was built around guesswork instead of data.
Donna brings 15 years in digital marketing to every engagement, with the last 12 years focused specifically on SEO growth. She's worked in-house with enterprise brands including UHaul International and B2B ecommerce operations like Cole-Parmer, and has spent years in the trenches with local service businesses across home services, legal, and healthcare-adjacent practices.
Over the past few years, she's shifted the agency's focus to encompass AI-driven search: building citation strategies for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews before most agencies had a name for it. That early investment is now the foundation of the agency's GEO practice.
When she's not building strategies, Donna speaks at industry events and contributes to conversations about where search is headed, not where it's been.
