The Old SEO Playbook Is Killing Startups (Here’s the New One)
For years, SEO agencies focused on just a few things: tweaking website code, stuffing in keywords, and building links. Those things still matter, but they’re not enough to help a startup thrive today.
SEO isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about building a brand.
Old-school SEO was all about stuffing keywords onto your website and hoping for the best. But that doesn’t cut it anymore. Today, to get your first 1,000 users, you need a website that becomes the go-to place for your ideal customers.
That means attracting the right visitors β the ones ready to become users, rave about you, and get you to that next funding round.
And it’s not a solo act. Your website needs to work hand-in-glove with your social media, your PR, everything β to create a buzz that investors can’t ignore. That’s what real SEO is about.
SEO isnβt this thing that sits in its own corner and does weird shit any more
When we talk SEO, we’re not just going to ask about keywords and backlinks. We’re going to dive deep into what really makes a startup succeed online. We’ll be asking about things like:
- “How easy is it for visitors to find what they need on your website?” We’ll look at things like site speed, how easy it is to navigate, and whether it works perfectly on phones β because Google cares about these things, and so do your potential users and investors.
- “Does your content grab attention and keep people hooked?” It’s not just about the words; it’s about how they’re presented, how they look, and how they make people feel about your brand.
- “Are people coming to your site directly, by typing in your address?” Search engines see this as a sign that you’re a real player, a brand people recognize and trust.
- “Are you getting positive press and building a strong reputation?” Good press and a great reputation build trust, attract users, and β you guessed it β impress investors.
We focus on these areas because they’re the foundation of real, long-term growth. We’re looking for founders who are serious about building something amazing, not just chasing quick wins. If you’re ready to go all-in on building a website and brand that truly stand out, then we’re the right SEO partner for you.
From 5% Click-Through to 80% Share of Voice: The New SEO
We don’t just get you on page one. We get you seen by everyone looking for what you offer.
Rated 4.7/5 based on 50+ reviews
The old SEO dream was simple: get to page 1 of Google for your target keyword. But that dream is fading fast.
Why? Because Google keeps shrinking the space for organic results. Between more ads, featured snippets, “People Also Ask” boxes, and now the AI Overview, there’s barely any room left for regular websites. Even if you rank, you’re fighting for scraps β maybe a 5% click-through rate if you’re lucky.
The truth is, you’re not really competing for “page 1” anymore. You’re competing for, at most, two precious spots. Google might show two websites that directly offer what you do. The rest of the page? It’s filled with news articles, big publications (often with zero expertise in your area), Reddit threads, and review sites.
That’s why we do something radically different. We don’t just optimize your site for those two lonely spots. We make sure you’re featured, listed, and talked about on all those other sites that dominate the search results. We get you in the news, on relevant industry publications, on top review platforms β wherever your potential customers are actually looking.
This isn’t about hoping for a tiny slice of the pie. It’s about owning the conversation. It’s about going from a measly 5% click-through rate to a commanding 80% share of voice. That’s how you get noticed. That’s how you get users. That’s how you attract investors.
Most agencies are still stuck in the old “page 1” mindset. They’re not equipped to give you this kind of comprehensive visibility. We are. It’s a core part of our strategy, and it’s what gives our clients the edge they need to win.
Most SEO agencies guard their secrets closely. We take a different approach: we share our knowledge openly.
We do this because we believe that the more informed you are, the better equipped you’ll be to make the right decisions for your startup. And frankly, our strategies are so far ahead of the curve that they require Funded SEOβs deep understanding to implement effectively.
We’re not just giving you a fish; we’re teaching you how to fish in a whole new ocean β one where the old rules don’t apply.
This is about giving you an unfair advantage in the fight for funding and market share.
We’re ready to give you that edge.
