SEO for SaaS
SaaS buyers research extensively before they ever sign up for a trial. They read comparisons, check reviews on G2 and Capterra, watch demos, and read case studies. Your SEO strategy needs to be present at every stage of that journey, not just when someone is ready to buy.
The SaaS Search Landscape
SaaS SEO is fundamentally different from local service SEO. It's global or national in scope, driven by search intent across a long buying journey, and heavily influenced by review platforms, comparison sites, and category-defining content. The companies that win in SaaS SEO own the conversation around the problems their software solves, not just the solution.
How People Search
Three distinct search intents, each needing a different response.
“how to manage [problem] without spreadsheets”
What it needs: educational content
“[competitor] alternative, [your software] vs [competitor]”
What it needs: comparison pages
“software with [specific feature]”
What it needs: feature-specific landing pages
