Why now

Why does SaaS SEO need GEO now?

Because the shortlist moved. Half of B2B software buyers now start in an AI chatbot, and most of them end up choosing differently because of it.

of B2B software buyers now start their research in an AI chatbot rather than a search engine.

The shortlist is the battlefield

If AI leaves you off the shortlist, you never get the demo. If it puts you on, you start the sale a step ahead.

SaaS SEO questions

What SaaS teams ask us.

What is B2B SaaS SEO?

B2B SaaS SEO is search engine optimisation for software companies that sell to businesses. It focuses on the searches buyers make while choosing software, such as category, comparison and integration searches, and measures success in trials, demos and pipeline.

How is SaaS SEO different from other B2B SEO?

Software buyers compare products directly and lean heavily on review sites, comparison pages and documentation. SaaS SEO puts those pages first.

Should we write comparison pages about competitors?

Yes, if they're fair. Buyers search for comparisons anyway. If you don't publish an honest one, someone else will, and AI will quote theirs.

How long does SaaS SEO take?

Comparison and alternatives pages can start ranking within weeks in less crowded categories. Category-level searches usually take three to six months.

Do you work with early-stage startups?

We work best with SaaS companies that already have product-market fit and some search demand in their category.

Do you do GEO for SaaS?

Yes. It's built into every SaaS programme, because AI shortlists now shape which products buyers trial. See our GEO agency page.
