SEO Agency for Startups: Growth-Stage SaaS SEO That Ranks on Google

As soon as you have product-market fit and know who you're selling to. SEO compounds: a page that ranks this quarter keeps sending traffic next year, so every month you delay is organic traffic you don't get back. Don't invest in SEO before your messaging is settled. Fix the messaging first, then build the content.

Enterprise SEO is about defending rankings at scale. Startup SEO is about winning quickly with limited resources. You can't out-domain-rate a Fortune 500, so you go after bottom-of-funnel keywords your bigger competitors ignore, build targeted backlinks to specific pages, and prioritize revenue impact over traffic volume. Speed matters more than perfection.

Yes. SEO plan: $4,000/month, or $48K a year. One senior SEO manager costs $170K+ a year fully loaded, before tools (Payscale, BLS 2026). The plan covers 5 DR 50+ editorial dofollow links, 4 content pieces a month, technical SEO, internal linking and 100 target keywords tracked on Google, run in 90-day sprints. A single in-house hire would have to cover strategy, writing, outreach and technical fixes alone.

First editorial links go live within 1 week. Plan for 90 days before you see meaningful ranking movement, and 6-12 months before SEO becomes a reliable lead source. Link building results show in 60-90 days. Content rankings take 3-6 months. The earlier you start, the sooner compounding kicks in. We run 90-day sprints so you always know what we're working toward.

The SEO plan includes 5 editorial dofollow links on DR 50+ publications, 4 content pieces a month (new or refreshed comparisons, alternatives and listicles), technical SEO (Core Web Vitals, crawlability, indexation and schema), internal linking, 100 target keywords tracked on Google, a 90-day sprint plan with a senior strategist, and a live dashboard with a monthly report and GA4 and Search Console reporting. The AI SEO plan, $7,500/month, adds 5 more editorial links, 5 brand mentions, 2 listicle placements, 3 Reddit posts and 10 comments, and 25 buyer prompts tracked across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Only dofollow links count toward your editorial links. Brand mentions, listicle placements and Reddit posts are counted separately.

We do both. The SEO plan ships 4 content pieces a month, new or refreshed (comparisons, alternatives, listicles), alongside 5 editorial links, technical SEO and internal linking, so content and authority are built together rather than handed off between vendors. If you only want links, we sell editorial link building on its own from $1,250/mo.

B2B SaaS and software startups where organic search feeds pipeline. We've worked with companies across CRM, compliance, analytics, HR tech, fintech, and dev tools. We don't work with ecommerce, local businesses, or agencies.

Every engagement starts with an SEO sprint plan built with a senior strategist: target pages and keywords, content priorities, technical fixes, anchor strategy and link velocity for the next 90 days. We execute against that plan monthly, report on progress, and reset the sprint at the 90-day mark with updated priorities. You always know what we're doing and why.

We don't promise ranking positions because too many variables are outside our control. What we do promise: 5 editorial links a month on real DR 50+ publications, 4 content pieces a month, transparent monthly reporting, and a backlink strategy tied to your revenue targets. Our case studies show clients going from low domain authority to ranking for competitive SaaS terms within 6-12 months.

SEO plan: $4,000/month, in 90-day sprints billed monthly. It covers 5 DR 50+ editorial dofollow links, 4 content pieces a month, technical SEO, internal linking, 100 target keywords tracked on Google and a sprint plan with a senior strategist. That's $48K a year, against $170K+ a year for one senior SEO manager fully loaded (Payscale, BLS 2026). The AI SEO plan, $7,500/month, adds brand mentions, listicle placements, Reddit and AI prompt tracking on top, nothing removed.

All plans are billed monthly with no long-term contract. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice, including partway through a 90-day sprint, and everything already delivered stays yours. You can pause for up to one month between sprints.

If a link is removed or turns nofollow within 12 months, we replace it free. Pages get deleted, sites get redesigned and editors change their minds, so you're not paying for links that disappear.
