B2B SaaS startups · Search engine optimisation

Be the page a buyer finds when they search for the problem your software solves.

SEO for a B2B SaaS startup is the work of making the site appear when a business buyer searches for the job they need done, long before they know your product exists. GullySales works on the page structure, the problem-led content and the technical basics so the site earns demos from search.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For B2B SaaS startups

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Buyers search for the symptom before the solution”

    Someone with a messy approvals process types the process problem, not a product type. Pages built only around the category name miss the buyer in the first and most useful stage of the search.

  • “Comparison and alternative pages get read late in the decision”

    A shortlist buyer searches for your name next to a competitor's. If no honest page answers that, a competitor's page or a review site does. A fair comparison page that admits where you are not the right fit builds trust.

  • “A single-page app can hide the site from search”

    Some startup sites are built in a way that shows search engines an empty shell. If the pricing, features and integration pages are not readable as plain pages, they do not get indexed however good the copy is.

  • “Documentation and integration pages are content too”

    Developer and admin buyers read the docs before the sales call. Integration pages for the tools your customers already use, written clearly, bring people who are searching for that specific connection.

What we do

What we deliver for B2B SaaS startups.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Keyword map by problem and by stage

    A sheet grouping search phrases by the problem, the comparison stage and the integration need, each matched to one page.

    Result: Every page has one job and no two pages compete for the same phrase.

  2. Technical review of the site

    A check that pages are readable by search engines, load properly on a phone, and have clean titles, headings and internal links.

    Result: The list of technical faults is written and each one is marked fixed or open.

  3. Problem pages and comparison pages

    Pages written in the buyer's words, with fair comparisons and a clear next step.

    Result: Each page ends in a demo or trial request that is tracked.

  4. Integration and use-case page set

    One page per integration or use case, with screenshots of your own product and real setup steps.

    Result: A visitor searching for a specific connection lands on a page that answers it.

  5. Search Console set-up and review

    Search Console and analytics connected, with demo requests recorded as goals.

    Result: You can see which searches lead to demo requests.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the search engine optimisation work runs

  1. 1

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How long before SEO brings demos?
We cannot give a date, and nobody honest can. Search results depend on competition, the age of the site and the work done. What we can do is set up tracking at the start so you see which pages are picking up impressions and which are not.
Should the blog be on a subdomain?
Keep it on the main domain, in a folder such as /blog, so the site's authority builds in one place. A separate subdomain is treated more like a separate site. If the blog already lives on one, we look at moving it.
Do we need backlinks?
Links from relevant sites help search engines trust a site, but buying them is risky. We look at partner pages, integration directories, founder interviews and your customers' own sites as honest sources, and avoid paid link schemes.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
