Software that sells to industries

SaaS
SEO agency.

SEOArmy is a performance SaaS SEO agency for software companies that sell into specific industries. Your buyers build their shortlist in Google, on review sites and in ChatGPT long before anyone books a demo. We get your product onto that shortlist with pages written for the people who sign the contract, and we judge the work by pipeline, not pageviews.

SaaS is not one market.
We specialize by industry.

A payroll platform and an EHR share a business model and almost nothing else. Buyers, regulators, review sites and search behavior all change with the industry your software serves, so our playbooks do too.

The SaaS
playbook.

Four workstreams, run together. The order matters: we start at the bottom of the funnel, where a page can create a demo next month, and earn the right to go broader.

01
BOTTOM FUNNEL

Start where buyers decide

Alternatives pages, head-to-head comparisons, integration pages, use-case pages and a pricing page that answers the question instead of dodging it. These rank for searches made by people already holding a budget.

02
AI SHORTLISTS

Get named when buyers ask AI

Buyers now type “best X software for Y” into ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. We build the review profiles, third-party mentions and clearly structured pages those answers draw on.

03
PRODUCT-LED

Let the product make the argument

Every SEO plan includes one video a month, and for software that usually means a product demo or workflow walkthrough. Paired with screenshots, templates and interactive tools, it shows rather than claims.

04
MEASUREMENT

Report pipeline, not pageviews

We connect search and AI referrals to trials, demos, SQLs and closed revenue in your CRM. If a content cluster does not move pipeline after a fair test, we stop writing it.

Why most SaaS SEO
never reaches pipeline.

The blog-traffic trap

The standard SaaS content program publishes four broad articles a month, watches organic sessions climb, and then struggles to explain why sales has not noticed. The reason is simple: top-of-funnel blog traffic rarely becomes pipeline. Someone searching “what is employee onboarding” is a student, a job seeker or a competitor as often as a buyer. A traffic chart that only goes up can hide a program that has never sourced a deal.

We work the other way round. The first pages we build target searches that only a buyer makes: “[competitor] alternatives”, “[your category] for [their industry]”, “[product] vs [product]”, “[tool] integration with [system they already run]”, and honest pricing explanations. These terms carry a fraction of the volume and a multiple of the intent. Once they convert, we widen into educational content, and even then we choose topics that sit next to a buying decision.

Where software shortlists are built now

B2B buyers increasingly start with an AI assistant. They describe their company, their stack and their constraints, and ask which tools fit. The answer is assembled from review platforms such as G2 and Capterra, comparison articles, community threads, analyst coverage and your own site. If your review profile is thin, your positioning is muddy or your pages never state plainly who the product is for, you are left off the list without ever knowing a search happened. Our AI search work and B2B answer engine optimization treat those sources as part of the SEO surface, and our guide to AI search for SaaS explains how we measure share of answer.

This is also why we specialize by industry. A generic “best HR software” answer cites different sources from “best payroll for multi-state restaurants”, and the second query is the one your buyer asks. Knowing which directories, associations, publications and communities matter in each vertical is most of the job.

Measurement closes the loop. We tag every demo and trial form with its landing page and source, pass that into your CRM, and review search-sourced and search-influenced opportunities with your revenue team each month. Brand searches and AI referrals get their own lines, because a buyer who first met you in a ChatGPT answer often arrives later by typing your name. When a cluster of pages earns traffic but no pipeline after a fair test, we say so and redirect the budget, usually toward more comparison pages, a better pricing page or the product video that sales keeps sending to prospects.

Every SaaS category we work in

Our industry teams cover healthcare SaaS, fintech, legal tech, HR tech and payroll, cybersecurity, real estate software, edtech and field service management. Each page sets out the buyers, the search patterns and the compliance considerations we plan around. If your category is not listed, the method still applies; we will tell you on the first call whether we know your market well enough to be useful, and we keep one client per category so the playbook we build for you is not shared with a competitor.

Things we
refuse to sell you.

A SaaS SEO program is easy to inflate. These are the shortcuts we turn down, even when a client asks for them, because they cost more in trust and cleanup than they ever return.

Traffic-vanity contentNo calendars of broad glossary posts written to make a sessions chart rise. If a topic has no plausible path to a buyer, we leave it to someone else.
AI-spun programmatic pagesProgrammatic SEO works when each page carries unique data or a real use case. Thousands of templated pages that swap one noun invite doorway penalties and teach AI systems to ignore you.
Ranking or pipeline guaranteesNobody controls Google or ChatGPT. We commit to the work, the measurement and candid reporting, not to positions or revenue numbers we cannot honestly promise.

SaaS SEO
FAQs.

The buying journey is longer, the buyer is usually a committee, and the conversion you care about is a demo, trial or qualified opportunity rather than a sale. That changes everything from keyword selection to reporting. SaaS SEO leans on comparison, alternatives, integration and use-case pages, on review platforms that AI assistants cite, and on attribution that follows a lead through the CRM for months.
Bottom-of-funnel pages on a site with reasonable authority can start producing demos within a few months. Broader category rankings and consistent citations in AI answers usually take longer, often six months or more in competitive categories. We set expectations per category after the audit rather than quoting a generic timeline.
Yes, carefully. Integration directories, template galleries and location or industry pages can scale well when each page carries information a buyer actually needs. We will not generate thousands of thin pages that differ by one word. Before building, we test a small batch and check that it gets indexed, ranks and converts.
Senior writers who learn your product hands-on, interview your product and sales teams, and review call recordings where you allow it. Regulated topics such as healthcare, finance and employment law get an additional subject-matter review. Your team approves anything that makes a product or compliance claim.
Often the best growth path for horizontal software is to build industry-specific landing pages and content, one vertical at a time. We help choose the verticals where you already win deals and build out from there.
Our engagements are custom-quoted based on category competitiveness, the volume of content and video needed, and whether paid search or LinkedIn is in scope. Every SEO plan includes one video a month. We share a proposal after the audit, not a price sheet.
