Austin's 58,000 tech SMBs compete for the same keywords. Own yours.
Most SaaS companies in Austin waste $4,500+ monthly on ads. We rank you higher in search, cut CAC, and build sustainable pipeline.
📍 Austin Market Insight: Austin's technology and SaaS corridor—spanning The Domain to East 6th Street—is saturated with funded startups and scaling companies. Competition for high-intent keywords ("software solutions Austin", "SaaS platform") has driven PPC costs beyond sustainable margins for SMBs. Organic search is no longer optional; it's the only way to compete without bleeding budget. Companies that own the top 3 positions on Google capture 50%+ of qualified leads in their category.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Austin's technology & saas sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your PPC spend keeps rising, but cost per lead hasn't improved.”
You're bidding against 200+ competitors on the same keywords. Your organic presence is invisible, forcing you into an auction you can't win long-term.
At $4,500/month spend with rising CPCs, you're losing $18,000–$36,000 annually to unsustainable paid channels.
“You publish content regularly, but it doesn't convert to qualified leads.”
Your content is educational but not optimized for search intent. You rank for vanity keywords while prospects search for specific problems you solve.
Wasted 40–60 hours monthly on content with zero pipeline contribution. Opportunity cost: $8,000–$12,000 in lost deals.
“LinkedIn is generating activity, but not pipeline meetings.”
LinkedIn presence alone doesn't capture prospects in the early research phase. They search Google first; if you're not there, they never reach LinkedIn.
Missing 60–70% of your addressable market before they even know your company exists.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Competitive SEO Audit
Week 1-2We map your keyword landscape against the top 10 Austin SaaS competitors. We identify gaps—keywords you should rank for but don't, quick-win opportunities, and the technical barriers holding you back. This isn't generic; we analyze your specific industry vertical within Austin's market.
40-page SEO audit report with ranked opportunities and 90-day action roadmap
Keyword Strategy & Content Map
Week 2-3We build a buyer-journey content strategy tied to your sales funnel. Every keyword maps to a prospect stage: awareness, consideration, or decision. We prioritize high-intent keywords where Austin SaaS buyers actively search for solutions like yours.
Content calendar (12 months), keyword matrix, competitor content gaps analysis
Technical SEO & Site Optimization
Week 3-5We fix crawl errors, improve site speed (critical for SaaS), implement schema markup, and audit your information architecture. Most Austin tech companies have technical debt that blocks ranking; we eliminate it.
Technical SEO implementation checklist, speed optimization report, structured data markup
Content Creation & Authority Building
Ongoing (Month 1+)We produce 4–8 high-authority content pieces monthly (blogs, guides, case studies) optimized for your target keywords. Each piece is designed to rank, capture intent, and link internally to conversion pages. We prioritize topics that your sales team says they hear in discovery calls.
SEO-optimized content (4-8 pieces/month), internal linking strategy, outreach campaign for backlinks
Performance Tracking & Optimization
Ongoing (Monthly)We monitor rankings, organic traffic, lead quality, and conversion rates in a custom dashboard. Monthly, we refine strategy based on what's working. If a keyword isn't converting, we pivot. We optimize relentlessly, not just track.
Monthly SEO performance dashboard, quarterly strategy reviews, continuous optimization recommendations
After 6 months, you own page-1 rankings for 15–25 high-intent keywords in your category. Organic traffic increases 180–250%, and cost per lead drops 60–70%. More importantly: you've built a sustainable, predictable pipeline that doesn't depend on PPC budgets.
Austin Technology & SaaS Success Stories
An Austin-based workforce management SaaS platform with $2M ARR, founded in The Domain
Competing against Workday and ADP on branded keywords. Their target buyer (mid-market HR leaders) was Googling "employee scheduling software" and "workforce optimization platform"—keywords they didn't rank for. PPC was their only channel, costing $8,000/month with a $240 CAC.
- →Built a content hub around "HR workflows," "compliance automation," and "mid-market payroll solutions" with 18 long-form guides and case studies
- →Fixed critical technical issues: site speed (3.2s → 1.1s), mobile usability, and implemented JSON-LD schema for SaaS products
- →Executed a backlink campaign targeting industry publications (HR.com, HRTechNews) and created internal linking structure to push authority to conversion pages
“We thought SEO would take a year to matter. Six months in, organic is now 60% of our pipeline. We've cut our PPC budget in half and actually increased demos. The playbook they built is something our team owns now—we're not dependent on them forever.”
A product analytics platform (Series A startup, 25 employees) based in East 6th Street corridor
Launching in a crowded market (competing with Amplitude, Mixpanel). Their ideal customer profile is product managers at scale-ups searching for "product analytics tools" and "user behavior tracking." No organic presence. Budget constraints meant they needed to prove ROI before investing heavily in paid.
- →Identified 6 underserved keywords with 800–2,000 monthly searches and low competition: "feature adoption tracking," "product engagement metrics," "user retention dashboard"
- →Created a 'Playbook' content series: 8 tactical guides (each 2,500–3,500 words) teaching PMs how to measure specific metrics, positioning their tool as the solution
- →Developed a category-education hub ("Product Analytics 101") to rank for informational keywords and funnel traffic to comparison content where they competed directly
“SEO felt like a luxury until we saw the results. Organic isn't just cheaper—it's higher quality. Our demo conversion from organic is 2x our PPC conversion. We're now allocating 40% of our marketing budget to SEO content because the data is undeniable.”
