SEO that Brings your SaaS Company to the top
Your website, as the main platform opened to the public, is where you expect prospects to convert into customers. SEO for SaaS-based companies and solutions offers all the quality requirements that Google needs before considering your website for its main search index. A typical set of requirements is comprised of clean code, optimized content for the target audiences and search queries, fast-loading pages, and external quality signals.
With a lot of big companies competing for SaaS solutions, the search engine expert needs to narrow down the target content to the sub-niche so the client can see good results in a reasonable time. So, it does not make sense to go for the most competitive keywords with a webpage that has no quality signals. Most of the work to promote the SaaS solutions in organic search is done with different types of content, i.e., listings, articles, videos, graphics, etc.
SaaS SEO
Can a SaaS-based Company Be Found Online?
First, we need to define the Where. By that, I mean the online locations or properties that the SaaS offers are advertised or posted. Organic search works by promoting a lot of content, and some overlapping (not conflicting) with other types of digital marketing cannot be avoided, i.e., content marketing, social media, and video marketing. It does not overlap with paid ads, though.
Having cleared that, we are talking about finding your SaaS offers or material in Google search, social networks (lead generation), and YouTube or other video hosting sites. For each traffic source, medium, or channel, we need different content types and approaches. The same stands for the various audience segments as your prospects may have different demographic characteristics, interests, and geographic locations.
Having done our homework and given some practical examples, prospects will find your solutions when submitting relevant search queries in Google; They will see your content when browsing social networks (the ones that meet the SaaS needs); And receive suggestions to watch your videos when they look for SaaS in YouTube or view a competitor’s video content.
When will my site rank on page one?
The competitive nature of the SaaS market requires at least 6 to 12 months of work. That said, there are many keyword opportunities to research beyond the obvious found in online tools and these we will exploit for fast top 10 rankings and start generating traffic.
