SEO Strategy Development That Starts With Your Business

For B2B, SaaS, and eCommerce brands who want a plan built around what they’re actually trying to do, not a bundle of tasks.

We Start With a Discovery Session, Not a Task List

Before we touch a single keyword, we want to understand your business: what you’re trying to do, how you’re set up to do it, and why it matters to your customers.

That’s not a formality. It’s the reason a technical SEO audit sometimes ends with a recommendation about your PR strategy, or a content plan points you toward a pricing page fix. Your channels don’t operate in isolation, so we don’t advise on them in isolation.

What’s Actually Included

A strategy built around your business still needs to be concrete. Depending on what your discovery session surfaces, your strategy typically includes:

  • A full technical, content, and authority audit, plus an AI and LLM (large language model) visibility check
  • Keyword planning and research, mapped to how your buyers actually search
  • A competitive analysis that shows where you’re losing ground, and to whom
  • A content strategy and roadmap, not just a list of topics
  • A conversion rate strategy, so traffic turns into pipeline, not just numbers on a dashboard
  • Cross-discipline recommendations wherever the data points outside SEO

How We Build Your Strategy

1. Discovery Session

We start by learning your what, how, and why: your business goals, how you’re set up to reach them, and what matters to the customers you’re trying to reach.

2. Audit

We run a full audit through our internal framework, covering technical foundations, content, authority signals, and AI visibility.

3. Strategy

You get a prioritized roadmap built from the audit and the discovery session together, not a generic template.

4. Implementation support

Some clients run with the roadmap themselves. Others want us alongside them for execution. Either way, you’re never handed a plan and left to figure out the rest.

5. Ongoing refinement

Your business changes, and so does the data. We revisit the strategy as both evolve, rather than treating it as a one-time deliverable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in an SEO strategy?

A full audit across technical, content, and authority signals, plus AI and LLM visibility. From there, a prioritized roadmap: keyword planning, competitive analysis, content strategy, and a conversion rate plan, all mapped to your business goals rather than treated as separate deliverables.

How is this different from a typical SEO strategy service?

Most SEO strategies stay inside SEO, even when the real fix lives somewhere else. Ours starts with a discovery session about your business, not just your keywords, so recommendations can cross into content, product pages, PR, or anywhere else the data points.

How long does it take to build a strategy?

It depends on the size and complexity of your site and business. Most strategies take shape over several weeks: discovery session, audit, then a roadmap built from both. We’ll give you a clearer timeline once we understand your specific goals.
