SEO for Early-Stage SaaS: The First 12 Months That Matter
Most SaaS startups waste year one on the wrong SEO plays. Here's the sequence that actually compounds into pipeline.
The default SaaS SEO playbook — publish 4 blog posts a month and hope — has never worked. What works is a very small number of very high-intent pages, launched before the blog exists.
Start with your comparison, alternative, and integration pages. These convert 5–10x better than educational content and are what buyers actually search when they're ready to switch.
Then layer a narrow content cluster around one job-to-be-done your product uniquely solves. Twenty deep articles beats a hundred shallow ones every time in a competitive category.
