Ehsan's Growth Commentary
After working with 77+ SaaS companies, the pattern is clear: SEO & Organic Search at the Growth stage requires systematic processes. The teams that win start smaller than they think they should and iterate 3x faster than their competitors.
The first 90 days of SEO & Organic Search for SaaS at Growth: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
