More about Ryan Stewart
I’ve spent the better part of my career building, scaling, and exiting digital businesses. It’s not just what I do for a living—it’s how I think, how I learn, and how I challenge myself. I’m deeply obsessed with growth: understanding what actually drives results, pressure-testing ideas, and continuously sharpening my skills in an industry that never stands still.
My professional journey began in 2009 at Deloitte, where I worked directly with enterprise-level clients including Target and Best Buy. That experience gave me a strong foundation in analytics, operations, and strategy, along with a firsthand look at how large organizations approach growth, risk, and decision-making. It also taught me something just as important: that meaningful progress comes from execution, not theory.
In 2012, I left Deloitte to start my own marketing consulting firm, focused primarily on SEO at a time when search was rapidly evolving and poorly understood by most businesses. Over the next several years, I grew that firm to more than $5 million in revenue, working with companies across a wide range of industries. In 2018, I successfully sold the business to a competitor—my first major exit.
During that same period, I was also building and operating additional ventures. In 2015, I launched an ecommerce business that scaled to over 3,000 recurring customers. That company was acquired in 2017, further reinforcing my belief in building systems-driven businesses that can operate and grow beyond their founder.
In 2016, I founded The Blueprint Training, an education platform created to help digital agencies move beyond one-off tactics and instead build repeatable, scalable growth systems. What started as a small training initiative has grown into a thriving platform with more than 700 monthly active subscribers and over $3 million in total revenue. Today, The Blueprint is widely regarded as a practical, operator-led resource for agency owners who want real-world frameworks—not theory—for growth.
In 2019, I launched WEBRIS with a clear and narrow focus: helping law firms generate more qualified leads through search. Over time, WEBRIS has grown into a specialized search marketing agency serving law firms across the country. We focus on outcomes, not vanity metrics—combining technical SEO, local search, paid media, and emerging AI-driven search platforms to help firms consistently acquire better cases. As the search landscape continues to change, our work remains rooted in one principle: marketing should be measurable, repeatable, and directly tied to business growth.
What I love most about business is the intensity—the competition, the stakes, the constant problem-solving, and the collaboration required to win. I find real purpose in working closely with clients, cutting through noise and complexity, and building simple systems that solve difficult problems. At its core, my work is about clarity: understanding what matters, removing what doesn’t, and executing relentlessly.
Outside of work, I’m equally committed to growth on a personal level. I value time with my family and being present as a father, and I’m intentional about building a life that supports both ambition and balance. I spend my personal time learning, training, and pushing myself mentally and physically—whether that’s through fitness, health optimization, or personal development. I enjoy being outdoors, exploring new places, and stepping away from screens whenever possible to reset and gain perspective.
Business, for me, isn’t just about revenue or exits—it’s about building something meaningful, challenging myself to improve every day, and helping others do the same. That mindset shapes everything I do, both inside and outside of WEBRIS.
