SaaS and software companies · Search engine optimisation
Rank on the comparison your buyer runs, not on a blog nobody buys from.
SEO for a software company is being found on the searches a buyer runs while a shortlist forms: alternatives, comparisons, integrations and pricing. GullySales builds those pages, checks that a crawler can actually reach your product, and traces organic traffic through to meetings held.
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.

Sales and marketing for SaaS and software companies, the overview.
Last updated 5 Oct 2026.
For SaaS and software companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Alternative searches have a budget behind them”
Somebody typing a competitor's name and the word alternative has decided to switch, while a reader of a definition post has decided nothing at all.
“Integration pages borrow demand you did not have to build”
A page for the tool your buyer already runs rides a search volume the partner created, and almost nobody in your category has written one.
“A JavaScript app can be invisible to a crawler”
Product pages rendered in the browser, docs on one subdomain and marketing on another each break a crawler in a different way.
What we do
What we deliver for SaaS and software companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
An alternative page for each competitor you lose to
One page per competitor covering where they win, where you win and who should stay with them, written so a buyer can use it without being sold to.
Result: You appear in the search a switching buyer runs.
Integration pages for the tools in your buyer's stack
A page for each integration you support, naming the workflow it fixes and the data it moves, rather than a wall of logos on one page.
Result: Searches for the partner's name start reaching you.
A pricing page that states the model
The units, the tiers and what moves the number, written out so a buyer can build an internal case without booking a call first.
Result: Fewer demo requests from companies that could never afford you.
A crawl and rendering check across the whole property
Marketing site, docs, blog and app pages checked for what a crawler can reach, with the subdomain and redirect problems listed for your engineers.
Result: Your engineers get a short list, not a two hundred page audit.
Comparison content kept honest and dated
Claims about competitors sourced from their own public pricing and docs, with a review so nothing on the page is a year out of date.
Result: Sales can send the page without reading it first.
Organic traffic traced to meetings held
Sessions, signups and meetings held from organic search, broken out by page and read against the baseline recorded before work started.
Result: You can name the page that produced pipeline.
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
What a buyer types while a shortlist forms, and the page that answers it.
- <competitor> alternative
- An alternative page for a competitor you lose deals to. Say who the other tool suits, who yours suits, and what you do not do. Date the page and check the facts against their public pages.
- <your product> vs <competitor>
- A comparison page set out as a table of features, plans and setup effort. Keep it factual and mark any claim that depends on a plan, so a buyer can rely on it.
- accounting software with Tally integration
- An integration page for one tool in your buyer's stack. Say what data moves, in which direction, what setup needs, and what it cannot do. Link to the help article for the steps.
- <category> software pricing
- A pricing page that states the model: per seat, per usage or flat. Name what each plan includes and what costs extra, so a buyer can plan a budget before booking a demo.
- software for a small hospital
- A vertical page. Describe the workflows you cover in that trade's words, the compliance it has to meet, and who in the hospital uses it, with one customer you can name if permitted.
- how to automate invoice reminders
- A problem page for someone who does not yet know the product category. Teach the task, show how your product does it, and give a link into a trial, not a hard sell.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
Fix the foundations
Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.
- 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
Publish and earn mentions
Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.
- 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.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
