Why startups choose us
& ignore agencies

We help founders and marketers hit inbound, organic-growth goals with programmatic SEO, product-led SEO and AI SEO — through collaborative work, not handoffs.

We’ll tell you straight if your product even fits. pSEO, product-led and AI SEO aren’t for everybody — only certain models, verticals and products fit.

No fluff. We’re a fractional team, not an agency — self-taught founders powered by AI, tooling and technical chops. We scale traffic without scaling garbage.

  • [✓]Founder-to-founder. We’ve shipped, not just slide-decked.
  • [✓]One client per industry — zero conflicts of interest.
  • [✓]Results-led. Short feedback loops from spend to ROI.

// 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 — not a junior account manager and a 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 — not a roster of juniors and a 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 — but 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 in under a year.
