We Built This Because We Were Sick of Paying $3k/Month for SEO

The story behind PageSEO (and why we think most SEO tools are overcomplicated)

A couple years ago, we were running a small SaaS company. Like most startups, we knew SEO mattered but had no idea what we were doing. So we did what everyone does: hired an agency.

They charged us $2,800/month. We got monthly reports full of charts and metrics. Traffic went up a little. Maybe. Hard to tell if it was the agency or just... time passing. After 8 months we couldn't really point to anything they'd done that moved the needle.

So we tried doing it ourselves. Signed up for Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz. All of them. The dashboards were overwhelming. "You have 47,000 backlink opportunities!" Cool, which ones matter? "Your site has 234 technical issues!" Great, are any of them actually hurting my rankings?

We realized the problem: these tools show you everything, but they don't tell you what to do first.

What we wanted was simple. Connect our Google Search Console, and every week get a plan of what to do. Not a list of 50 things. A few focused actions. The highest-impact tasks for that week, based on our actual data. Something we could knock out in 15 minutes each before moving on with our day.

That tool didn't exist. So we built it.

The Philosophy

PageSEO is opinionated. We don't give you 50 options and let you figure it out. We analyze your Search Console data, look at what's working and what's not, and tell you the single most important thing to do today.

Maybe it's updating a title tag on a page that's ranking #11 (so close to page 1). Maybe it's adding internal links to a post that's losing traction. Maybe it's fixing a meta description that has a 0.5% CTR when similar pages get 3%.

We don't care about vanity metrics. We care about: did your rankings improve? Did more people click? We track that automatically so you can see if what you did actually worked.

Who This Is For

PageSEO is for people who know SEO matters but don't want it to be their full-time job. Small business owners. Bloggers. Startups without a dedicated marketing team. Freelancers trying to get found on Google instead of competing on Upwork.

If you want to spend 4 hours a day in Ahrefs analyzing competitor backlink profiles, this probably isn't for you. But if you want to spend 15 minutes a day making steady progress on SEO while running your actual business? That's what we built this for.

The Team

We're a small team. Deliberately small. We don't have a sales team calling you. We don't have an enterprise tier with "contact us" pricing. We charge $29/month for Pro because that's a price anyone can afford without needing a meeting about it.

If you have questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, reach out. We actually read and respond to everything.
