SaaS SEO from an independent consultant rather than an agency. Built around comparison and alternative queries, product-led signup paths, and the documentation cannibalisation problem that quietly caps most SaaS organic growth.
Three things: the highest-intent queries are about competitors rather than your category, your help centre competes with your marketing site for the same searches, and revenue is recurring, so a signup that churns in month two was never worth acquiring. A generic content programme addresses none of these.
Yes, provided they are honest. Pages that claim you win on every dimension read as marketing and convert poorly. Pages that state clearly where a competitor is the better choice build enough trust to win the cases where you genuinely are, and they rank because they actually answer the question.
Often, though not in the way people expect. Docs rarely harm rankings; they win the ranking and then send a high-intent visitor into a support article with no route to a trial. The fix is deciding which property owns which intent, not deindexing your help centre.
SaaS SEO depends on understanding the product, the activation path and the competitive landscape in detail. That understanding does not survive being handed from the strategist who sold the engagement to the junior who runs it. You work with me directly throughout.
