the uncomfortable truth

90%+ FAIL

That’s the SEO-agency hit rate. We built the opposite.

× Blog spam, unoriginal content and plain backlinks don’t make the cut.

× Asymmetric info between “SEO experts” and you.

× Big agencies with major conflicts of interest.

× Long feedback loops from investment to ROI.

how do we work

Fractional. On purpose.

We work as a fractional team, on specific operational capacity, and we deliberately avoid conflicts of interest. You get founder brains on your growth. No junior account manager, no status deck.

The hard rule

Max 6 long-term clients.

And we never take two clients in the same product/vertical. One per industry. That’s the moat, for them and for us.

SEO Savages is not an agency

We’re founders and data scientists providing fractional services to a few clients at once, built on what we learned the hard way, growing our own venture-backed company.

FAQ

Straight answers

Are you an agency? +
No. We’re a fractional team of founders and data scientists. You get senior brains on your growth at part-time capacity. No roster of juniors, no monthly status deck.
Will you work with my competitors? +
Never. One client per industry, max 6 clients total. No competing clients, ever. Your edge stays yours.
Is my product even a fit for pSEO / AI SEO? +
Maybe not, and we’ll tell you straight. Programmatic, product-led and AI SEO only work for certain models, verticals and products. Send your URL and we’ll give you an honest read.
What’s “AI SEO” (AIO/AEO)? +
Getting your brand cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews. Google still drives most organic traffic. Anyone telling you to abandon it for AI search is selling you FUD. We work both.
How fast do results show up? +
SEO compounds, so it’s not overnight. We deliberately design for short feedback loops from spend to ROI. We grew Gyfted at ~32% month-on-month and to 1.2M organic users a year at peak.
