Directive has been the SaaS SEO agency of choice for hundreds of brands. Some of the clients we have worked with include:
Directive is the creator of the Customer Generation marketing methodology that is dedicated to delivering on the promise that Demand Generation forgot about. The truth is that your software/service isn’t for everyone (despite what your product team may want to tell you).
We use a customer-led approach to SEO to prioritize the right keywords and content that properly target your end buyers. We then create a customer keyword universe for these SERPs to create a specific action-plan of how to dominate the mental real estate of the people that end up signing on the dotted line.

Each of our accounts is supported by a dedicated SEO Account Strategist who manages the day-to-day communication, strategy, and execution. Each of our strategists is supported by an Associate Director who leads client strategy and frequently joins phone calls.
Additionally, each of our clients has direct access to the SEO Director and the VP of Client Strategy. This access is not just email and a phone number but includes Slack for quick response to any issues or questions.
The first 30 days of a successful SEO campaign are crucial. Within your first 30 days we work fast to understand two areas of focus.key elements that make up a successful SEO campaign.
Understanding WHO you target.
We need to fully understand your audience and what they need. This research includes reviewing customer profiles, interviewing customers, reviewing customer job descriptions and identifying their jobs to be done (JTBD).
Understanding your website.
We audit your website to understand any current weak points, or areas of strength. We understand what content exists and how you are positioned in the market. We compare against competitors and identify quick wins for gaining traction.
Once we gather all of that information we can now bridge the gap between your website and the needs of your clients. Using this information, at the end of your first 30 days we will create a custom SEO strategy. Our SEO strategy will provide the overall direction of our work for your SaaS business.
Our ongoing communication with clients can be broken down into three categories.
At Directive, we believe that the SEO industry has been plagued with the idea that “SEO takes time”. Although this is true in many cases, it is a copout SEO agencies have used for years.
Many of our clients are seeing results within their first 90 days with us. This is because of our focus on quick wins and a prioritized list of work. Because we treat SEO like a performance channel, we can’t wait months or even years to see results. Our SaaS clients are competitive, and they need a SaaS SEO agency that can keep up.
