SaaS and software companies · Content marketing
Write what your champion forwards to the people who decide.
Content for a software company is what moves a deal internally: the business case, the security summary, the rollout plan and a customer story with a number in it. GullySales writes those first and treats search volume as a second question.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What content marketing means
Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For SaaS and software companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Your champion is presenting you in a room you are not in”
The person who likes your product has to explain it to finance and to security, and most companies hand them a feature list.
“Blogs get written for volume nobody buys at”
A monthly post on industry trends reaches readers who will never hold budget, while the deal stalls on a question nobody has written down.
“One approved customer number beats a year of posts”
A story carrying a figure the customer has signed off answers the question every AE gets asked, and few companies your size have three of them.
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.
Customer stories with an approved number in them
Interviews with the accounts that renewed, written up with a figure they have signed off, rather than a quote about how helpful everyone was.
Result: Your AEs stop pitching without proof.
A champion pack for the internal case
A business case template, a security summary, an implementation plan and the answers procurement asks for every single time.
Result: The deal moves while you are out of the room.
Comparison and alternative pages
Honest pages against the competitors you actually meet, dated and checked so your reps can send one without reading it through first.
Result: Sales stops rewriting the same email.
A product note customers read
A short, regular note on what changed and why it matters, written for users rather than a changelog copied out of the repository.
Result: Expansion conversations start on their own.
One teardown or webinar a quarter
A live session about the problem rather than the product, with the recording and the follow-up sequence prepared before it runs.
Result: An afternoon produces a quarter of material.
Which asset appeared in a won deal
Content usage traced through the CRM to the deals that closed, read against the baseline taken before the work started.
Result: You stop writing the pieces nobody sends.
How the result is measured
- Pages published
- Organic traffic
- Enquiries from content pages
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Questions buyers ask first
What a buyer asks before shortlisting a software product, and the page that answers it.
- Does it connect to what we already run?
- An integrations page for each system buyers use, such as Tally, Zoho, Salesforce or Slack. Say what syncs and in which direction, what needs a developer, and what you do not connect.
- Where is our data, and who can see it?
- A security page covering hosting region, encryption, access roles, backups and audit logs. List only the compliance reports you hold, such as ISO 27001, and say how to request the full document.
- How does pricing work for a team our size?
- A pricing explainer. Name the unit, whether seat or usage, what is included, what costs extra and how the bill grows as the team does. Show the structure even if the figure needs a call.
- What does rollout involve, and who does it?
- An implementation page listing the steps, who is needed from the customer's side, how data is moved, how users are trained, and what you do not do for them.
- How do I get my data out if we leave?
- An exit page. State the export formats, what remains after cancellation, and how deletion is confirmed. Buyers who see an easy exit are less afraid to sign.
- What will switching from our current tool cost us?
- A migration guide from the usual starting point, whether a spreadsheet or a rival product. Give import templates, field mapping, what will not carry over, and a checklist for the first users.
Who it is for
This is written for these SaaS and software companies.
- Seed and Series A B2B SaaS still selling founder-led
- Bootstrapped vertical SaaS with a small team
- Product-led companies adding a sales motion
- Developer tools moving upmarket into team plans
- Healthcare, fintech and other compliance-heavy software
- Agencies and services firms productising a platform
- Marketplaces with a supply side to recruit
- Companies with a full AE bench and no pipeline to feed it
- Software companies entering the US from another market
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- No customer will let you quote a result or a number, and a case study without one carries no weight
- Nobody who knows the product has time to check a technical page, so errors would reach the buyer's champion
How it works
How the content marketing 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
Agree the plan
Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.
- 2
Brief and draft
Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.
- 3
Check the facts
Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.
- 4
Publish and distribute
The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.
- 5
Read the enquiries and adjust
Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
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.
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.
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.
