Startup SEO That Scales With You
Your runway is finite. Your team is small. You don't need a $5k/month agency or enterprise software to grow organic traffic. You need to know what to fix first — and why.

The Startup SEO Problem
You know SEO matters. Organic traffic compounds. But you're caught between two bad options: expensive agencies that want 6-month retainers, or enterprise tools built for teams of 50 that cost more than your entire marketing budget.
What early-stage startups actually need:
- Know which pages are costing you traffic
- Find keyword opportunities competitors are missing
- Prioritize fixes that move the needle — not everything at once
- Get results without hiring an SEO specialist
SEO Friend gives you agency-level insights at startup-friendly prices.
