B2B SEO Services

Help everyone involved in buying understand what you offer, see the proof and know the next step.

We'll reply with a written proposal: the work, what we need from you and an estimated timeline.

The hidden B2B growth problems

More website visitors can't fix a poor client fit, proof nobody can check or a messy handover to sales.

B2B SEO touches search, expert knowledge, how you deliver the work, legal, sales and revenue teams. Before we produce more content, we agree the facts, who does what and how results will be counted.

  • Traffic grows from the wrong companies

    Popular search terms are chased without checking whether those companies fit you, which groups to leave out, the buying situation, whether you have capacity to deliver or what counts as a good lead.

  • One imagined buyer stands in for the whole team

    The people who use the product, compare options, check technical details, approve budgets, review security, run purchasing and make the final call can't find the proof each of them needs.

  • Proof is sales talk that no one can check

    Case studies, numbers, quotes, qualifications and claims about delivery have no saved source, no permission to use them, no context, no stated limits and no end date.

  • Pages overlap or are thin copies

    Pages about problems, services, industries, job roles, software connections (integrations) and comparisons compete with each other, or only swap a few words.

  • Forms hide where buyers drop off

    Form fills are counted, but no one checks whether error messages are clear for all users, whether leads go to the right person, whether they match the right company, which are rejected, how fast someone replies or how good the meetings are.

  • Sales credit hides missing data

    One contact and one "lead source" field are used to explain a decision made by many people, while their roles, deal stages, how many people could be identified and how much the result depends on the counting method stay hidden.

Scope

What our advanced B2B SEO services cover.

B2B SEO (search engine optimization for companies that sell to other businesses) helps the right companies find you on Google and choose you. Softscotch builds it around the clients you can actually serve, the different people who sign off on a purchase and proof that comes from real sources. We link pages about the problem, the solution, your services, industries, comparisons, proof and buying steps to simple, easy-to-use contact forms. Then we report search visibility, real inquiries, good-fit companies, sales opportunities, pages that helped along the way and cost as separate numbers.

The first eight cards describe this service. Your proposal picks the services, markets, audiences, materials, CRM (customer records system) connections, support for your sales team and how often we work. The last two cards are related services, each with its own separate scope.

Ideal client, company fit and what counts as a good result

We define which organizations you want and which you don't, the buying situations, your services, market segments, how much work you can take on, reasons to turn a lead away, the results that matter, the money side and how you perform today.

What each person in the buying team needs, plus customer research

We map what users, people comparing options, technical reviewers, security, finance, purchasing and senior leaders each need to do, using search data, customer feedback, sales notes, lost-deal reasons and delivery experience.

Which page answers which search and buying step

We give each topic one clear home: the problem, the solution, your services, industries, uses, software connections, comparisons, proof, trust and contact, without thin pages that overlap.

Expert content, proof and trust information

We build the agreed pages and materials from approved methods, real people, sources, customer permissions, stated limits and facts about setup and purchasing.

Comparisons, technical setup and links between pages

We keep comparisons with other options factual and up to date, and publish pages that Google can read and everyone can use, with the main version of each page marked, links between pages and the hidden labels (structured data that describes your business to Google) that apply.

Easy lead, meeting and sales-handover paths

We match each call to action to how ready the buyer is, and check form labels, error messages, consent, confirmation, routing to the right account owner and region, creation of the CRM record and who replies.

Feedback from sales records, sales value and upkeep

We run clear definitions for deal stages and contact roles, check how many people and companies we can match, and track lost deals, credit models (ways of sharing credit for a sale), groups of leads over time, outdated content and cost. Then we decide whether to expand, fix or retire each page.

Helping your sales team use the content

We show your sales team which pages, case studies and comparisons answer the questions buyers ask most, so they can share them in emails and calls. Their feedback on what buyers still ask then guides the next updates.

Aa
Why Softscotch

We connect customer research, proof you can stand behind and honest feedback from sales.

Every important page keeps a clear record: the buying task it serves, the ideal client it is for (your ICP, or ideal customer profile), where its facts come from, which version is the main one, the next step it offers, how your CRM counts its leads, whether it is live and what should trigger an update.

The right clients come before more traffic

We focus on searches from businesses you can actually serve, and we keep a record of the groups you exclude and the leads you turn away, because that is useful evidence too.

Each person in the buying team gets the right proof

Every important person in the decision gets the method, risk, setup, cost or trust information they need before they can say yes.

We never invent proof

Customers, results, qualifications, partnerships and certifications only go on a page when we have saved proof, permission and an accurate description of what they cover.

Every page needs its own job

An industry, job role, software connection or location only gets its own page when there is useful, different evidence for it and someone is in charge of it.

We show the limits of your CRM data

Contact roles, matched companies, lead stages, lost deals and credit models are checked for gaps and errors, not treated as perfect truth.

Costs include the work behind trust

Research, expert time, customer approvals, sales review, data work, technical work and upkeep are all part of deciding whether the program is worth it.

Basic to advanced

The 36 parts of a proof-led B2B SEO program.

These 36 parts cover strategy, getting the facts right, site structure, writing and production, safety checks, testing, sales value and rules and upkeep. Targeting named companies, extra tools and tests are only added when the evidence supports them and safeguards are in place.

Strategy, demand and starting point
Ideal client, company fit and good-result starting pointDefine the companies you want and don't want, buying situations, services, capacity, reasons to turn leads away, business value, cost and where things stand today.
What each person in the buying team needsMap the tasks, proof and handovers for users, people comparing options, technical reviewers, security, finance, purchasing and senior leaders.
One page for each search and buying stepGive each separate research or selection task one preferred main page (the canonical page), so your pages don't compete.
Customer words, objections and reasons for lost dealsUse search data, customer feedback, sales notes, delivery notes, lead checks and lost-deal reasons (only where we have permission), keeping the context and how sure we are.
Watching search results and rival suppliersNote the page types, buying criteria and missing proof in search results by market and date, without copying competitors or guessing why they rank.
Business and program limitsRecord how much work you can deliver, how far your sales team can reach, how much review time people have, markets you don't serve and the decision each priority should help make.
Data and information we use
Linking CRM data with search dataConnect page and search-topic groups (where permitted) to real lead checks, deal stages, lost deals, roles and sales-cycle length, and state how much data could be matched.
Approved record of your company, services and claimsTrace every claim about services, people, qualifications, delivery, prices, availability and limits back to a current owner and approval.
Rules for CRM stages, companies and dealsKeep dated versions of how people, companies and deals are defined, what moves them between stages, timestamps, exclusions and history.
Who is known in each dealShow which people comparing options and making decisions are known, missing or not backed by data in each deal we include.
Site structure and setup
Map of uses and software connectionsConnect real problems, roles, industries, features and software connections (integrations) without making thin pages for every possible combination.
Structure for problem, solution, service and industry pagesBuild pages that each handle a different buying question, with fit, approaches, proof, one main version, helpful links and a next step.
Links that guide buyers to proofConnect the problem, approach, offer, proof, trust, setup and contact pages through useful links that Google can follow.
Technical setup and matching factsMake sure what each page shows, its web address, its main-version tag (canonical), company facts, team details and hidden labels all match.
Making the changes
Expert-led content about solutions and setupCapture how your real experts work, the trade-offs, what each step depends on, risks and limits, with a named person reviewing it.
Rules for case studies, testimonials and proofKeep the customer's permission, the evidence, method, time period, limits, approvals, an expiry date and a way to remove it if asked.
Trust center informationAnswer security, privacy, delivery, switching-over (migration), support and purchasing questions with current, approved facts.
Decision tools, assessments and purchasing materialsWhere it is worth it, create useful calculators, self-assessments or help with formal tenders (RFPs, requests for proposals), with clear methods, privacy care and results everyone can use.
Safety checks
Rules for comparison pagesSource, date, fairly limit, approve, correct and update every claim that compares you with other options and suppliers.
Privacy-safe matching of people, companies and dealsManage which IDs are allowed, privacy notices, consent, access, how long data is kept, deletion, how much data can be matched and cases that are unclear.
Lead checks and company matchingCheck form fills, duplicates, whether the person and company fit, extra company data added from outside tools (enrichment), rejected leads and cases a person needs to review.
Checks before and after changes go liveTest sources, content, links, how pages display, hidden labels (schema), forms, lead routing, tracking events, accessibility for all users, and both desktop and mobile.
Testing and improving
Easy lead, demo and sales-handover pathsMatch the action to how ready the buyer is, and help more people finish, without hiding problems with lead checks, consent or routing.
Careful tests of landing pages, forms and handoversChange one clear thing at a time, and only where there are enough visitors and companies, and little risk of one company seeing both versions, to give a trustworthy answer.
Sales support and buyer sticking pointsTurn objections you hear again and again, and questions about proposals, security and delivery, into current proof that someone owns.
Improving proof and the buying pathImprove the order of proof and the next steps based on how buyers and sales actually use them, without assuming that two things happening together means one caused the other.
Measuring results and value
Ranking opportunities by sales valueDecide what to work on first using real company fit, lead quality, deal stage, lost deals, sales sticking points, how value is worked out, cost and how sure we are.
Following groups of leads from search to salesFollow groups of pages through each step: real lead, matched company, qualified lead, meeting and sales opportunity.
Sales started, sales helped and how the counting method changes creditCompare ways of crediting sales and state the contact roles, time windows, data coverage and the limits of any controlled tests.
Lead and company quality scorecardReport spam, duplicates, fit, rejected leads, which roles are known, routing, reply times and how complete the CRM records are.

Rules, upkeep and growth
Keeping proof, services and content up to dateSend changes to customer permissions, services, people, software connections, laws, comparisons and markets to the pages they affect.
Markets, regions and where services are availableKeep facts about services, qualifications, proof, legal rules and lead routing correct for each region and language.
Coordinating search with target-company marketingCoordinate approved groups of target companies (account-based marketing) with public proof, without invasive data or hidden pages that mislead.
Who owns services, pages, proof, data and resultsName who is in charge of facts, permissions, production, changes going live, CRM quality, exceptions and decisions.
Access, service levels and decision logKeep a record of accounts, sources, approvals, reports, handovers and every decision to expand, keep, fix, merge or retire a page.
Research and implementation tools

Search, customer, sales and finance records each answer a different question.

Google Search Console (Google's free report on how your site does in search), website analytics, customer interviews, sales notes, CRM stages, the roles contacts play in a deal, campaign credit and costs each keep their own definitions, groups and limits. We don't blend them into one number.

Follow the path to revenue

Our B2B SEO audit: seven checks that link searches, proof, lead quality and sales results.

Each check ends with a named owner, a check that the work is done and a clear next step. A filled-in form isn't automatically a good lead, and sales a report credits to SEO might have happened anyway.

Check 01 · Confirm client fit

Ideal clients, company context, services and what counts as a good result

Before we look at how many people search for a keyword, we decide which organizations and buying situations the program should help.

A website visitor isn't necessarily an ideal client company, and an ideal client company isn't automatically a sales opportunity. We keep fit, capacity, lead quality and costs clearly in view.

Target companies fitFit by company size, sector, how they operate and buying situation defined.
Who to leave out leave outIndustries, regions, deal types and uses you don't serve recorded.
Services offerScope, delivery, capacity, how prices are worked out and limits sourced.
Results measureReal lead, qualified company, meeting and sales opportunity counted separately.
Starting point startCurrent search, leads, sales pipeline, cost and data quality recorded.
Decision decideKey questions to answer and limits to respect approved.
Check 02 · Research the buying team

Roles, tasks, objections, lost deals and searches

We combine search data with customer and sales feedback (where we have permission) to understand how a company grows confident enough to buy.

Contact roles in your CRM and sales notes only show part of the picture. We note the people we don't know about and where the data may be biased, instead of inventing a complete buying team.

#1
Roles roleUsers, people comparing options, technical, security, finance and decision makers mapped.
Tasks taskTasks around the problem, approach, fit, proof, risk and purchasing defined.
Search searchData sources, markets, what search results show and unclear searches recorded.
Customer feedback listenInterviews, calls and questions captured, with privacy protected.
Sales sticking points objectionsLead checks, objections and reasons for lost deals sorted.
Coverage mapPages that own each topic, missing proof and handovers to people identified.
Check 03 · Get the business facts right

Your company, services, experts, proof and permissions

We trace the facts and proof that help buyers feel safe, without inventing authority or results.

A customer logo, number, testimonial, certification or partnership can't be published until we confirm its source, permission, what it covers and its date.

Organization companyNames, legal companies, locations and responsible contacts sourced.
Service facts serviceWhat you can do, what it depends on, what's delivered and what's excluded approved.
Experts expertReal practitioners, their qualifications, methods and what they review verified.
Proof proofCustomer, result, starting point, method and time period recorded.
Permissions permissionPermission to use logos, quotes, data and media documented.
Upkeep refreshExpiry dates, corrections, removal and update triggers assigned to a person.
Check 04 · Design the buying journey

Pages, comparisons, proof and links between pages

We give each buying task the smallest page that does the job well, and link it to current proof and the next decision the buyer needs to make.

More pages for roles, industries or services can create thin, overlapping content. We compare creating a page, improving one, merging, linking, building a tool, handing over to a person or leaving it out.

Main page assignOne main page (the canonical page) assigned to each separate task.
Structure planPaths through problem, solution, service, industry and proof pages planned.
Comparisons compareCriteria, sources, dates, fit and rules for fixing errors defined.
Trust trustProof about security, delivery, setup and purchasing linked to the right pages.
Links between pages linksLinks Google can follow, matched to each role and decision, added.
Sign-off go liveFacts, page display, hidden labels, accessibility and mobile checks pass.
Check 05 · Test the handover to sales

Forms, lead checks, company matching and routing to sales

We test what happens after a buyer chooses a demo, assessment, consultation, calculator or contact form.

A shorter form or more form fills can lower lead quality. What matters is correct data, good fit, routing to the right person, a reply and meeting what the customer expects.

Right next step pathCall to action matched to the person's role, how ready they are and the service.
Accessibility accessLabels, instructions, error messages and finishing on mobile all pass.
Form checks checkSpam, duplicate entries and required business details handled.
Company match companyRules for matching people to companies, and for unclear cases, tested.
Routing routeRegion, segment, owner, calendar and confirmation message verified.
Lead quality qualifyReal, qualified and rejected leads kept separate.
Check 06 · Check the CRM data

Deal stages, roles, matching, sales credit and sales value

Before we use your CRM to steer SEO, we write down how people, companies, sales opportunities and campaign credit are really recorded in it.

A credit model (attribution: rules that share credit for a sale) splits up the credit it can see. It doesn't prove the deal or revenue needed that page visit.

Stages stageRules for when a lead, qualified lead, meeting and opportunity are recorded, saved with dates.
Contact roles rolesKnown people comparing options and decision makers, and the gaps, shown.
Matching matchConsent, data links, match rate and unclear one-to-many matches reported.
Lost deals lossReasons for rejected leads, leads that went nowhere and lost deals checked.
Sales credit creditSales started by SEO, sales helped by SEO, time windows and how much the counting method changes results kept separate.
Value valueFit, stage, sticking points, how value is worked out, cost and how sure we are recorded.
Check 07 · Run the program

Changes, costs, ownership and next steps

We keep business facts, proof, pages and the way results are counted usable as your services and market change.

Upkeep is part of what the service costs. Out-of-date proof and CRM definitions nobody owns can do more harm than a content idea that was never published.

Checks before going live checkClaims, pages, forms, routing and tracking events verified.
Service changes updateChanges to services, people, qualifications and availability sent to the right pages.

What changes

From keyword articles and form counts to a clear, well-managed buying journey.

Before

Keyword search numbers and form fills drive the program, while company fit, proof and CRM data quality are simply assumed.

  • One generic buyerDifferent people comparing options and making decisions all get the same claims and the same call to action.
  • Proof with no sourceNumbers, quotes and qualifications have no permission, method, context or anyone in charge of updating them.
  • Sales credited to SEO count as successContact roles, gaps in matching, stage rules, how much the counting method changes results and costs are all hidden.
Changes

Priority pages answer separate buying tasks with approved proof and checked handovers to sales.

  • Every task and role has an ownerProblem, approach, proof, trust and purchasing pages link together without thin copies.
  • Proof can be checkedServices, experts, customer permissions, claims, dates and limits can all be traced back to a source.
  • Lead paths pass checksEasy-to-use forms, company matching, routing, confirmation messages and lead-quality stages are verified.
After

Search and sales teams review good-quality lead groups, missing buyer roles, how much the counting method changes credit, and full cost together.

  • CRM stages stay clearly definedRules for people, companies, deals, roles, lost deals and timestamps are kept as dated versions.
  • Sales credit stays honestViews of sales started and sales helped show data coverage, time windows and the limits of what they can prove.
  • Changes reach the right pagesChanges to services, people, proof permissions, markets and comparisons trigger a decision that someone owns.
Your buyers and what's at stake

How it fits together

How B2B SEO works: nine layers that keep search, sales proof and page facts in step.

A change to a service, a team member, permission to use a case study, a law or how your CRM counts leads can affect several pages and reports. Shared records show us exactly what needs updating.

What to expect

Your search delivery timeline, and the full growth plan.

B2B SEO starts with a focused check of your facts and proof, then a first batch of pages in the first month, followed by watching results and deciding what to do next. Google's processing and business results run on their own schedule, so we can't promise dates for them. This work sits inside the six-month Softscotch growth plan shown below.

KPI leads and sales
How we compare

B2B SEO is not just publishing lots of content and taking credit for sales.

The difference is a clear, traceable link between a real business decision, proof you can trust, a smooth handover to sales and a business result, with honest notes on what the numbers can't tell you.

The risk of using a different agency for everything
  • Starts with search volume and one broad, imagined buyer
  • Treats every visitor and every form fill as equally valuable
  • Builds a page for every possible mix of role, industry, problem and software connection
  • Writes "thought leadership" without access to real experts
  • Adds logos, quotes and numbers without saved permission or context
  • Publishes comparison and trust claims without current, first-hand proof
  • Sends every visitor to the same generic contact form
  • Calls meetings "opportunities" and claims every sale credited to SEO as revenue SEO created
  • Treats one contact and one lead-source field as the whole company's journey
  • Leaves out expert, sales review, data and upkeep costs
vs
Softscotch

Ethical, transparent, always on

One accountable team, strictly white-hat (only methods search engines and platforms allow), no shortcuts and no surprises. Support whenever you need it.

One plan, full-stack access

One Softscotch plan gives you access to the full service stack, coordinated around your priorities.

You do not need a separate agency or retainer for every channel. Your plan can draw from search, paid media, web, ecommerce, outreach, automation, lead generation, messaging, content, creative and operations. The agreed scope sets what is active, in what order and at what capacity.

Pricing approach

One price for everything, not a stack of separate retainers.

You get one price for your whole marketing, not a separate retainer for every service. SEO, paid ads, your website, automations, cold email and newsletters, we run all of it as a single scope, so you get the most result for what you pay. Agencies sell each of these on its own, so the invoice climbs whether or not that line drives a single lead.

Bought separately, service by service

A different agency or retainer for each service. The bill stacks up fast, and keeps climbing whether or not each one moves a single lead.

Plus the one-off build, and a fresh contract, kickoff and onboarding delay for every new service you add.

All of it, one scope

We run your whole marketing as one engagement, so you get the most result for what you pay, not a pile of disconnected invoices.

  • SEO: technical, on-page, content, local and AI search
  • Template-built pages (programmatic SEO), links from other websites (backlinks) and authority

Questions, answered

B2B SEO services FAQs: no made-up proof and no for-show sales reports.

These answers cover what's included, ideal clients, buying teams, pages, case studies, trust, comparisons, forms, CRM, the roles people play in a deal, credit for sales, measurement, timing, pricing and guarantees.

Filter
What is included in Softscotch B2B SEO services?

Depending on your needs, the work can include research into your ideal clients and buying teams, choosing which page answers which search, research into customers and sales sticking points, the structure of your service and solution pages, expert content, case studies and proof, comparisons, trust and purchasing information, technical and internal-link work, easy-to-use lead forms, helping your sales team use the content, feedback from your CRM (customer records system), ranking work by sales value, and upkeep. Your proposal picks the services, markets, materials, systems and how often we work.

How is B2B SEO different from consumer or ecommerce SEO?

B2B purchases often involve a whole company, several people, a longer comparison period, risk around setup and purchasing, a handover to sales and results recorded in a CRM. So the work focuses on company fit, proof for each role, lead checks, how deals connect and cost. Some B2B products are bought quickly, so our audit checks how your buyers really buy instead of forcing a long sales-cycle template on you.

How do you define an ICP (ideal customer profile) for SEO?

We write down the organizations and buying situations your services can serve, useful traits such as company size, sector and how they operate, their problems, what makes them start looking, your markets, your capacity, reasons to turn a lead away and what a good result looks like. Search volume doesn't decide fit. The profile is still a business best guess, so it should be reviewed for bias and as the market changes.

What is buying-committee intent?

It maps what each person in the same company decision needs: the research, risks, proof and handovers for users, people comparing options, technical reviewers, security, finance, purchasing and decision makers. Not every purchase involves every role, and the contact roles in your CRM may be incomplete, so we always show which people are unknown.

Which B2B pages do you create or improve?

Depending on the evidence, the work can include pages about problems, categories, solutions, services, industries, roles, uses, software connections, comparisons, alternatives, setup, switching over, proof, trust, experts, research, assessments and contact. We don't create a separate page when that task and its proof already belong on another main page.

How do you handle case studies, testimonials and client results?

We need the customer's permission, saved proof, the starting point and time period, an accurate description of the work, its limits, approvals, and an expiry date or someone in charge of removing it. We never invent customers, logos, quotes, revenue, performance results or sales credit. One client's result is no guarantee for another.

What is trust-center evidence in B2B SEO?

It is approved information about security, privacy, delivery, setup, switching over, support and purchasing that serious buyers need. Certifications, qualifications, insurance, partnerships or commitments only appear when you really hold them and they are described accurately. Sensitive details may stay behind a form or request, handled by an authorized person.

Do you create competitor comparison and alternative pages?

Yes, when real buyers are searching for them and we can keep the proof up to date. We use criteria that matter to customers, current first-hand sources, accurate facts about each offer, dates, fair notes on fit and limits, trademark or legal review where needed and a named person to fix errors. We don't copy reviews or make up competitor weaknesses.

How do you improve B2B lead capture?

We match the action to how ready the buyer is: a consultation, demo, assessment, calculator, help with a tender (RFP), trust review or direct contact. We test labels, instructions, error messages, consent, form checks, confirmation messages, routing by company and region, creating the CRM record, who replies, and finishing the form on desktop and mobile. More form fills on their own are not the goal.

What is the CRM and search feedback loop?

It connects your main landing pages and search-topic groups (where permitted) to your real data on leads, companies, qualified leads, opportunities, stages, lost deals and sales-cycle length. We write down what moves a lead between stages, how many people and companies could be matched, contact roles, delays and leads that couldn't be matched, then use what the data really supports to improve page and sales decisions.

How do you handle multiple people in one buying account?

Where your CRM supports it, we look at how companies and deals are linked and which contact roles are known, instead of giving one tracked person credit for the whole journey. We report which evaluator or decision-maker roles are missing and don't guess at people we can't identify. Offline and unrecorded conversations remain a limit.

What is pipeline-weighted SEO opportunity?

It ranks page and search opportunities by combining realistic search data with real company fit, lead quality, deal stage, patterns in lost deals and sticking points, how value is worked out, production cost, risk and how sure we are. It is an open decision model, not a promise that a keyword will produce a set amount of sales.

What is the difference between sourced and assisted pipeline?

Sourced pipeline means deals credited to SEO under the "where did this lead start" rule you choose. Assisted pipeline gives credit to other recorded touches, such as a page visit along the way, under a written set of rules. Both depend on CRM links, contact roles, time windows and how much data is recorded. Neither proves the deal wouldn't have happened without SEO; proving that needs a separate controlled test.

Do you send offline lead and opportunity events to analytics?

We can coordinate this where the platform, consent, IDs and your data policy allow it. The setup uses your actual definition of each stage, checks timestamps and IDs, avoids personal information that isn't allowed and reports coverage and failures. Server or offline events (sales updates sent from your own systems rather than the visitor's browser) add to good website and CRM tracking; they don't replace it.

Can you guarantee B2B rankings, leads, meetings or pipeline?

No. Google and other search systems, market demand, how buyers behave, how well your offer fits, how fast sales replies and outside conditions are all beyond any agency's control. We are accountable for the agreed research, building, quality checks and reporting, and we show what the evidence supports. We don't guarantee leads, opportunities, revenue, special search listings (rich results) or mentions in AI tools.

How long does the first B2B SEO cycle take?

A first careful round of work usually takes several weeks: research into ideal clients and buying, proof and permission work, site structure, the agreed build, lead-path checks and CRM checks. Timing depends on access to experts and customers, how many pages are involved, legal or security review, technical work, support from your sales operations team and approvals. Sales results may take longer to show.

How is B2B SEO priced?

The quote reflects your services, segments, markets, research, experts, permissions for proof, writing and design, technical work, forms and routing, CRM or data warehouse connections, how much review is needed, quality checks and upkeep. Your proposal states what we deliver, what we need from you, related specialist work, outside costs and our fee.

Who owns ongoing B2B facts, proof and CRM definitions?

Softscotch can research, build, check and run the agreed system. You stay the official source for facts about your services, people, customer permissions, qualifications, legal, security, lead checks, sales and business decisions. Your proposal names who owns each source, approvals, service levels, access and how we hand over or exit.
