SaaS & tech startups

SEO and paid ads for SaaS companies.

Campaigns built around trials, demos and payback period — not impressions. For seed-stage and bootstrapped software companies in India, the US, the UK and anywhere else English-speaking.

What does SlydrTech do for SaaS companies?

SlydrTech runs SEO, Google Ads and LinkedIn campaigns for SaaS and tech startups, measured against cost per trial, cost per demo and customer acquisition cost rather than traffic volume. The work covers comparison and alternative pages, integration and use-case landing pages, bottom-of-funnel search campaigns, and the GA4 and conversion tracking needed to see which channel actually produces paying accounts.

Retainers start at $300 per month for a single channel and $900 per month for two or three. Every engagement opens with a free written audit delivered inside 48 hours. Contracts are month to month with no lock-in, and ad budget is paid by you directly to the platform with no markup.

The work

What the work looks like for a software company

Six things that move the number on a SaaS dashboard. Your proposal will name which of these are in scope and what each one costs.

🔍

Comparison and alternative pages

Pages targeting "[competitor] alternative" and "X vs Y" searches. These are the highest-intent queries in SaaS and the ones AI assistants quote most often when someone asks which tool to pick.

🧩

Use-case and integration pages

One page per job-to-be-done and per integration you support. They rank for long-tail searches your homepage never will, and they tell a model exactly who your product is for.

🎯

Bottom-of-funnel Google Ads

Search campaigns on category and competitor terms, with negative keyword hygiene so you stop paying for students, job seekers and free-tier hunters.

💼

LinkedIn for B2B

Job-title and company-size targeting for products with a real sales motion. Run only when your deal size justifies the CPM — we will say so if it does not.

📊

Trial-to-paid tracking

GA4, Google Tag Manager and server-side events wired so signup, activation and paid conversion are all attributable back to the campaign that caused them.

✍️

Technical content that ranks

Documentation-adjacent articles and tutorials written for the person evaluating your product, not for a keyword density score.

Why this is different

Why SaaS marketing is not the same as marketing anything else

Four things that change the plan when the product is software.

The conversion you care about happens weeks later

A trial signup is not revenue. If the reporting stops at signups, you will happily scale a channel that fills your product with people who never pay. We instrument activation and paid conversion first, then judge channels on what reaches the bottom.

Your competitors are your best keywords

In SaaS, "[competitor] alternative" and "[competitor] vs [you]" are the searches made by people already holding a credit card. They are also the pages AI assistants lean on when a user asks for recommendations. Most SaaS sites never build them.

CAC payback decides whether a channel is allowed to scale

A channel with a twelve-month payback is a different business decision from one with a three-month payback, even at identical cost per trial. We report payback alongside CPA so the spend decision is yours to make with the real number in front of you.

Free-tier traffic is a cost, not a win

Cheap clicks that convert into free accounts inflate every vanity metric while raising your support load. Negative keywords and audience exclusions get as much attention as the targeting itself.

Where we run these campaigns

SaaS campaigns by market

SlydrTech is based in India and works worldwide. The strategy does not change by country; the platform mix, the currency and the compliance details do.

How a SaaS engagement differs by target market
Market Billed in Where the budget usually goes first What changes
India INR or USD Category SEO and Google Ads. INR pricing pages and lower CPCs make search the cheapest first channel. GST invoicing, INR ad accounts, IST working hours, UPI-friendly checkout advice.
United States USD Bottom-of-funnel Google Ads plus comparison-page SEO. LinkedIn once deal size supports it. Higher click costs, so tracking and landing pages are fixed before spend scales. Overlapping-hours calls scheduled in your timezone.
United Kingdom USD (GBP quoted on request) Comparison and alternative SEO first; UK search volume rewards specificity over breadth. UK GDPR and PECR consent handling, GBP pricing on site, UK-specific search language and spelling.
Rest of world USD Usually SEO first, because paid costs vary too much across markets to be the safe opening move. Any English-speaking market. Australia, Canada, UAE, Singapore and the EU are all worked the same way.
Where to start

Where a SaaS company usually starts

The right first channel depends on whether people are already searching for what you do.

Typical starting scope: SaaS & tech startups
If you are… Start with From
Pre-launch or a brand-new category Foundational SEO and positioning content — nobody is searching your category name yet, so paid search has nothing to buy. $300/month
Live product, some organic traffic Comparison and use-case SEO plus bottom-of-funnel Google Ads, with GA4 and trial tracking rebuilt first. $900/month
Funded and scaling Full funnel: SEO, Google Ads, LinkedIn, landing pages and CRO, reported against CAC and payback. $2,500/month
Questions

SaaS marketing questions

Yes. Before revenue the honest answer is usually SEO and positioning rather than paid ads, because paid search only works when people are already searching for the category. The free audit will tell you which situation you are in.

Yes. Most engagements begin by auditing what is already installed. Broken or double-firing conversion tracking is the single most common problem found in SaaS accounts, and it is fixed before any budget decision is made.

Comparison and bottom-of-funnel pages typically take three to six months to rank and produce steady signups. Google Ads produces data within days. That difference is exactly why the two are usually run together rather than one after the other.

No. Ad budget is paid by you directly to Google or LinkedIn and is never marked up. If your budget is too small for a channel to produce usable data, we will say so rather than take the retainer.

Not yet. SlydrTech launched in 2026 and publishes no case studies, testimonials or growth figures it has not earned. Early clients join through the Founding Client Programme, which locks a discounted rate for 12 months in exchange for permission to document results as a published case study.
