EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
San Francisco technology & saas is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
87% of Bay Area tech decision-makers search for solutions on Google — before ever talking to sales
San Francisco's tech ecosystem is the most competitive B2B SaaS market on Earth. 7.7M people live in the Bay Area; 28% work in tech or adjacent industries. According to recent search demand data, tech buyers now conduct an average of 8.4 Google searches before first contact with sales — up from 4.2 in 2021. Companies with strong SEO authority fill sales qualified leads 42% faster than those relying solely on paid ads and outbound. The median CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) for tech companies without organic search visibility is $8,400; with established SEO, it drops to $3,200.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.

The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“The weekly Loom is something no one else offered. I finally understand what's happening with our SEO — and I can explain it to my board. That matters more than I expected.”

CMO · Fashion Retail, $11M revenue
“I've run three agencies through their paces. This is the first one that attributes everything back to revenue. Rankings are vanity. Pipeline is the point.”
David L.
Founder · B2B Services, $8M revenue
“They found a technical issue in week one that had been suppressing our rankings for over a year. Two previous agencies missed it completely. That was the moment I knew.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much does SEO cost for a San Francisco tech company?
San Francisco tech SEO retainers typically run $4,800–$12,000/month depending on category competitiveness and content scope. Series A/B companies with focused categories start at $3,900/month.
How long before we see qualified leads from SEO?
Most San Francisco tech clients see first incremental SQL-qualified leads within 90–120 days. Meaningful monthly volume (20+ leads) typically takes 6–9 months.
Can we really compete with better-funded competitors on Google?
Yes — if you own a specific angle, use case, or buyer persona. 'API platform for startups' beats 'enterprise API platform' every time. Specificity wins.
Do you work with open-source projects and developer tools?
Yes — developer tools and open-source SEO is fundamentally different (community, docs, GitHub wins over promotional content). We specialise in this.
What happens if our main competitor also hires an SEO agency?
We've built 18+ months of content and authority advantage — hard to catch up. Plus we refresh and iterate monthly; static competitors fall behind quickly.
