SaaStorm vs. doing it yourself
DIY SEO isn't free. It's paid for with your time. SEO, AI search, content, links and web fixes add up to a full-time job. SaaStorm takes it off your plate, so you can get back to building the product and closing deals.


Do it yourself when you're pre-product-market fit, have more time than budget, and want to learn how buyers search before you invest. Choose SaaStorm when search needs to become a reliable pipeline channel and your time is worth more spent on product, sales and fundraising.

Both can be the right call.

Doing search properly takes a long list of jobs. With SaaStorm, your part shrinks to sharing what you know and approving the work.
DIY vs. SaaStorm.
What it really costs
DIY SEO looks free until you count your time, the learning curve and missed pipeline.





What DIY really costs a founder.
Your time is the most expensive line item
Doing SEO well takes keyword research, briefs, writing, editing, publishing, internal linking, technical fixes, link outreach and reporting. Done properly, that's 10–20 hours a week. For a founder, those are hours not spent with customers, investors or the product.
With SaaStorm, your role shrinks to sharing what you know and approving the work. Reditus founder Joran Hofman recorded Loom videos about his product and customers. We turned them into content that ranked on page one.
The learning curve is steep, and it moved
SEO in 2026 isn't the SEO of five years ago. Buyers now research in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Ranking isn't enough; you need to be cited. Learning that while running a company means months of experiments before anything pays off.
We already know what works because we see it across 30+ B2B SaaS companies every month.
Mistakes are expensive to undo
The most common DIY problems we fix: cheap AI articles that rank for nothing, blog posts competing with each other, broken site migrations, and content that attracts readers who will never buy. Reditus came to us with exactly this: impressions, but no clicks, signups or demos.
Our discovery phase audits all of it in 10 working days and gives you a plan you own, whether or not you continue with us.
Consistency is what compounds
Search rewards steady output. DIY content usually stops the moment a big deal, a release or a fundraise takes over. With SaaStorm, publishing, optimization and link building continue every month. The engine never stops.
Pipeline, not just posts
We build content around buyer intent: comparison pages, alternatives, templates and BOFU guides that turn readers into demos. Then we report on MQLs and pipeline, so you can see exactly what search is worth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start SEO myself and bring in SaaStorm later?
Yes. Many founders do. When you're ready, our discovery phase reviews what you've built and tells you what to keep, fix or drop.
Is the discovery phase useful if we don't continue?
Yes. For €4,000 you get a full strategy, audit and roadmap, and you own all of it.
How much of my time does SaaStorm need?
A kickoff, a few product walkthroughs, and 1–2 hours a week for reviews and calls.
