Trying to pick an SEO agency for your SaaS?
The 65k+ options listed on Clutch alone are enough to overwhelm you.
You’re staring at ratings and fancy websites filled with SEO jargon, wondering if an agency is the right fit for you, and worried that you’ll end up wasting time and money on a lengthy contract.
Don’t worry—I’ve done the heavy lifting for you.
After looking at dozens of agency profiles, I’ve narrowed down the top SaaS SEO companies that work exclusively with SaaS companies.
In this guide, I break down their services, strategies, and pricing.
But first…
Here are the five points I used to shortlist the SaaS SEO agencies in this article.

Content Guppy is a no-frills SaaS SEO Content agency that helps you boost your Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) through effective content strategies.
They work in 90-day sprints instead of a monthly retainer.
Combined with their pricing, this makes Content Guppy the best choice for early-stage and small SaaS businesses who want to test the SEO channel.
“One of our sales pages was languishing around position 9 for a keyword that we knew would increase our revenue. Within two months after hiring Content Guppy to build links for us, we ranked
#1 for the keyword and the page went from producing 3 leads per month to 16 leads per month!”
