SaaS SEO agency
SaaS SEO that reports in pipeline and revenue growth, not sessions.
ESA is a specialised SaaS SEO agency for B2B and B2C SaaS companies from seed to Series B. We combine technical SEO, product-led content and link building with AI search visibility in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT, so organic search turns into trials, demos and recurring revenue.

Inventory management SaaSHow SaaS SEO differs from what a generalist agency does
Buyer intent over volume
Software companies win on a few hundred bottom-of-funnel queries, for a CRM that is “HubSpot alternatives”, “best CRM for startups”, “Pipedrive vs HubSpot”, integrations and pricing pages. A generalist agency chases traffic growth; a specialised SaaS SEO agency maps search intent to your sales funnel and builds the pages that convert.
Technical SEO for a product, not a brochure
App subdomains, docs and help centres, JavaScript rendering, site architecture that scales to thousands of programmatic pages. Our technical SEO audits cover the parts of a SaaS site that most SEO programs ignore.
The entire search ecosystem
Organic visibility now includes Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity. Every SaaS SEO strategy we run includes answer engine optimization and AI search visibility tracking, because that is where buyers compare software today.
Measurable business outcomes
We connect Google Search Console, your analytics (GA4 or any other) and your CRM, so every organic lead is attributed to a page and an intent. You see trials, demos and MRR per cluster, not domain authority charts.
Three SaaS cases with numbers
Short, with the metrics that matter. Full write-ups are one click away.
Rask AI: 1M+ organic users in 12 months
PeerBoard: 2× growth in 6 months, then an exit
Noji: 3.7× growth in 12 months, $4M ARR, exit
SaaS SEO services, in full
Every line opens. Nothing is hidden behind a sales call.
Technical SEO audit and site architecture
Crawl and indexation, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript rendering, app and docs subdomains, internal linking, schema. You get a prioritised fix list your engineers can ship in sprints.
SaaS SEO strategy and keyword research
Buyer-intent keyword research mapped to your funnel: comparison, alternatives, integrations, use cases, pricing. A content strategy with volumes, intent and target pages.
Product-led and programmatic SEO
Feature pages, templates, integrations directories and free tools that capture demand at scale and route users into the product.
Content and conversion optimization
Bottom-of-funnel pages written with your product team, then conversion rate optimisation on the pages that book demos.
Link building and digital PR
Authoritative backlinks from niche publications, “best X tools” listicles and proprietary research. 8–12 placements a month, listed by URL. No marketplace links.
AI search visibility (GEO / AEO)
Prompt tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, entity clean-up and citation placements, so you appear in AI-generated answers as well as organic search. See GEO services →
International SEO
Localised clusters, hreflang and local placements for SaaS brands entering the US, UK and EU. Aithor went to 1M+ monthly organic visits across 6 markets this way, +805K year on year.

Who this is for, and who it isn’t
A good fit
- SaaS companies with product-market fit and at least one paid channel working
- Seed to Series B, or a profitable mid-market SaaS
- A content owner on your side (or we hire one with you)
- Selling in the US, UK or EU
Probably not a fit
- Pre-launch: you need customers before you need SEO
- Agencies, ecommerce, local services. We are not a generalist agency
- You want rankings in 30 days
- A $1k budget. We will point you to tools and a checklist instead
What we guarantee, and what we don’t
We guarantee
- Named deliverables every month (placements, pages, fixes) and a weekly written update
- Prompt-level and page-level reporting you can audit yourself
- Month-to-month after month 3; leave with 30 days’ notice and keep everything we built
We don’t guarantee
- A specific position in Google or ChatGPT. Nobody can; anyone who does is selling you a report, not a result
- Results without your input: we need product access, a content owner and 2 hours of your time per month
- Traffic from keywords your product can’t convert
Questions we get on every first call
How much does a SaaS SEO agency cost?
SaaS SEO agency pricing in the US and UK runs from about $3k a month for a focused program to $15k+ for enterprise SaaS brands. Our three typical scenarios are above. Cost depends on how many money-page clusters, links and markets are in scope, not on hours.
How do you choose the right SaaS SEO agency?
Ask three things: show me SaaS case studies with pipeline numbers, show me placements by URL, and show me how you cover AI search. We answer all three on this page.
How long until we see results?
Technical fixes and first placements land in weeks 1–6. First ranking gains usually show in weeks 8–12. Compounding growth is a 6–12 month story. We put dates on every step in the roadmap you get after the audit.
We already have an SEO agency or in-house team. Can you work alongside them?
Yes. Most of our engagements run next to an existing team: we own strategy, placements and measurement, they keep publishing. We join your Slack and share one roadmap.
Do you write the content or do we?
Both work. We research and brief every page. Our writers draft, your product people fact-check, or your team writes from our briefs at a lower fee.
How do you tie SEO to revenue?
We connect Google Search Console, your analytics (GA4 or any other) and your CRM, tag every organic conversion by landing page and intent, and report demos and trials per page, not just organic traffic.
Do you do link building?
Yes: niche-relevant links, listicle placements and digital PR around proprietary research. We don’t buy links from DR-70 marketplaces; they don’t move SaaS rankings and they don’t get cited by AI.
What do you guarantee?
Scope, cadence and transparency, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. We do not guarantee a position in Google or ChatGPT. See “What we guarantee and what we don’t” above.
