Why is SEO Still Important for SaaS Companies

Despite the common consensus that ‘SEO is dead’ due to the advent of AI, this couldn’t be further from the truth for SaaS companies.

SEO is still an important strategic pillar in SaaS marketing but it has evolved dramatically - what worked a few years back won’t work now.

In the new search paradigm, it’s important to understand how prospects now use Search and adapt our SEO strategies to align with these changes.

It’s also crucial that SEO doesn’t operate in a silo and integrates seamlessly with the wider SaaS marketing strategy.

Cost Effective Lead Generation

SEO offers sustainable long-term lead generation. Once you rank for key terms, you can continuously attract traffic without ongoing ad spend, which is critical for SaaS companies operating within tight CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) constraints.

Compete Against Established Players

The SaaS space is fiercely competitive, with established players owning much of the available SERP real estate. With a customer-centric SEO strategy, smaller or emerging SaaS brands can carve out their own space—ranking for highly specific, intent-driven keywords and standing out with content that genuinely connects.

Enhances Brand Awareness

Ranking high in search results consistently exposes your brand to a relevant audience, increasing familiarity and trust over time—even if prospects aren’t ready to convert immediately. SaaS SEO is an important brand building tactic.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have been helping SaaS businesses with SEO for the past decade. I have worked with SaaS clients across many verticals and industries such as FinTech, EdTech, AdTech, Cybersecurity, Training and many more. My SEO work has helped these companies increase traffic and leads from Organic Search and build trust and greater brand recognition to potential customers.

SEO is important for SaaS companies because it generates leads with one of the lowest CACs (Customer Acquisition Costs) of any digital marketing channel. It is also hugely important for building brand trust with prospective customers.

SEO’s beneficial impact on brand recognition is often overlooked as the focus tends to be on traffic and keyword rank. Sure these are important metrics to measure SEO performance by, but they don’t paint the full picture.

The ultimate goal of SaaS SEO should be to increase brand awareness. With AI now impacting Organic Search, generating traffic from search engines is becoming increasingly difficult due to AI Overviews and AI ‘answer engines’.

This makes brand building important for ensuring the longevity of SaaS businesses. And SEO is still a key channel for improving brand recognition in the new search paradigm.
