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.

Searches your buyers type

Buyers search the problem first and the product name last.

A problem page that shows the manual method and where it breaks, then the product's way. A demo button sits at the end.

A comparison page that sets the product against named alternatives and states who it suits.
Tally alternative for multi-branch accounting
An alternative page for an accountant or owner already on a tool, covering the switch and the data move.
Zoho CRM integration with your product
An integration page that explains what flows between the two tools and who sets it up.
Product name pricing
A pricing page in plain text, because a searcher who knows the name checks cost before asking for a demo.

Who it is for

This is written for these B2B SaaS startups.

  • Early-stage SaaS selling to Indian SMEs and mid-market firms
  • Vertical SaaS for one trade, such as clinics, schools, dealers or builders
  • Developer tools and APIs sold to engineering teams
  • HR, payroll and compliance software for growing companies
  • Finance and accounting tools sold through CA firms
  • Indian-built SaaS selling to buyers in the US, UK or Middle East
  • Spin-offs from services firms that turned an internal tool into a product
  • Bootstrapped founders who have not raised and cannot hire a sales team yet

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The product is a single-page app that serves no text to search engines, which must be fixed before pages can be found.
  • You have no problem pages to publish because the founder has not written down what the buyer's problem is.
  • You expect demos from a blog with no way for a reader to book one.

How it works

How the search engine optimisation work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  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 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 an interval agreed in writing we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

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.
Should the blog be on a subdomain?
Put it in a folder on the main site, so the authority the blog earns reaches the product pages. A subdomain is treated as a separate site, and the product pages gain little from it. Check that the folder is served as plain pages and not inside the app.
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.
